What is going on?
As his immortal senses were disturbed by the treasure light in the north, Li Changshou and the other paper effigies approached the village and hid on the treetop of a big tree. Only then did they see the situation in the village.
Hundreds of villagers surrounded the village gate. There was a stage set up there, and a few figures in Daoist robes were jumping around.
Someone was preaching the Dao here …
He could clearly see the source of the treasure light. It was actually a clay statue behind the few "preachers".
Li Changshou smiled in his heart. The paper effigy, which had transformed into a middle-aged man, jumped down from the treetop and was about to leave.
He thought that some treasure had appeared and wanted to pick it up.
Nowadays, how could there be so many treasures to pick up …
If such a preaching happened outside the South Continent, it would most likely be a publicity event carried out by some sects to recruit disciples.
However, if it happened in the South Continent, it would either be a scam or a collection of incense offerings and merit.
That was not rare.
The cultivation levels that the few preachers revealed were all at the third or fourth stage of the Soul Formation realm.
Lao Dao, who was guarding the three-foot-tall clay statue, revealed that his cultivation level was at the peak of the Void Return realm and was close to the Dao Requital realm …
In short, it had nothing to do with him.
The paper effigy formed hand seals with both hands and hid behind the tree. It began to use Earth Escape.
The sound of sutras came with the wind and entered the paper effigy's ears and Li Changshou's heart.
He heard the sutra being sung.
"… I wish to prove the supreme Dao. Let the West bear Bodhi …"
Western Sect?
The paper effigy's speed of forming hand seals increased. As soon as some ripples appeared on the ground in front of him, the paper effigy could not wait to enter.
He ran even more urgently than before.
At the same time, Li Changshou's main body on the deserted island stood up. He cast an illusion technique and turned into a fish that headed towards the east.
The Western Sect had great karma. What was he waiting for?!
He did not expect that he was still in the southwest of the South Continent, which was very far from the Aparagodānīya Continent. However, the Western Sect had already extended their tentacles to collect incense offerings.
However, just as Li Changshou was about to escape, his immortal senses suddenly captured something strange in the sea in the southeast.
About eight hundred kilometers away, there was a ball of dense demonic aura that was swimming in the direction of the dazzling treasure light …
Li Changshou immediately stopped and landed at the bottom of the sea. He tried his best to hide his tracks.
He also stopped the paper dolls that were still moving underground and made them stay there.
A sea monster was attracted by the treasure light in the stronghold?
This was not a good thing.
After taking a closer look, the great demon in the sea had a cultivation level equivalent to that of an early-stage True Immortal Realm Qi Practitioner. The body that was enveloped by the demonic aura was a strange-looking big fish. It looked a little like a blanket, but its body was bigger, more than a thousand feet in length and width.
If one were to consider the fact that the other party had concealed his cultivation, it would not be a conservative estimate that he was at late-stage True Immortal realm.
Under the thick demonic aura, the demonic creature was surrounded by wisps of blood-red light that were like flames.
This was the sign of this object being extremely vicious. It had killed a lot and its negative karma had already appeared.
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat.
Of course, he did not have any special preferences for such strange things. He was purely interested in the negative karma of the great demon.
He could earn a lot of merit by clearing such a thick negative karma!
Should he kill this Great Demon along the way?
Li Changshou thought quickly.
After he became an immortal, his foundation was too weak, and he did not have many treasures.
Merit was a good thing, and it was rather rare.
If he stayed in the sect to cultivate and did not do good deeds that were beneficial to the stability of the world, he would not be able to obtain any for hundreds of years.
If he was a ruthless person who was focused on proving his Dao through strength, he would have to avoid being augmented by merit and ensure that he would not be affected by the Heavenly Dao in the future.
However, Li Changshou did not have such lofty ideals. The problem he considered was very practical.
If he had more Merit to protect himself, his safety would also be higher.
If he could obtain great merit in the future, he would not learn from the big shots to nurture Dharma treasures. He would definitely create the Golden Body of Merit first!
With the Golden Body of Merit, it would be equivalent to a death-exemption token. No matter what calamity he encountered, he would not have to be too afraid.
At that time, even if a Saint wanted to slap him forcefully, he would have to hesitate if he should lose several times the power of merit.
Of course, the Golden Body of Merit was extremely difficult to refine. It required a huge amount of merit.
Now, the Heavenly Dao was almost perfect. There were not many opportunities to obtain great merit.
Going to the Celestial Court would give him more opportunities to earn merit. Previously, Li Changshou had also considered related matters.
Let's talk about the matter at hand first.
If he killed this great demon, there would definitely be a lot of merit.
As the saying goes, sand accumulates into a mountain, and a drop of water forms a sea. Everything has to have a beginning.
As for karma with the demons …
The human race and the demons were mortal enemies. Even if he was polite to the demons, he would only be thrown into the frying pan if he fell into the hands of the experts of the demon race.
There was no need to be polite to the demons.
However, if he considered that the other party might be hiding his cultivation level, he would have to bear some risks …
This was the South Ocean, not a place where the demons gathered. There was only the demonic aura of this great demon within a 1,000-kilometer radius. There were only a few small demons on an island …
Now that he had mastered the Water Escape and Earth Escape, it would not be a problem for him to travel 50,000 kilometers in a day. After killing this thing, he would immediately run to the mortal world to hide. He would not be afraid that other demons would take revenge …
Moreover, he had the ability to stop it while ensuring his own safety. It would be a little unreasonable for him to watch the big fish demon kill his own kind.
After all, he had lived two lives …
Even though Li Changshou had reservations about whether the living beings in Xiong Village were of the same race or not.
…
With the mentality of giving it a try, Li Changshou used the Water Escape. His speed was more than ten times faster than the great demon, and he quietly rushed to a sea 50 kilometers away from the shore.
Apart from the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools, most of the escape techniques in the Primordial World were quite difficult to find.
Moreover, among the Qi Refinement cultivators, the trend of valuing treasures over techniques was prevalent, causing many people to look down on the use of escape techniques.
After calculating the path of the great demon, Li Changshou flicked his sleeve, and six paper effigies flew out from his left and right, transforming into men and women with different faces, figures, and auras.
The six paper effigies immediately got busy at the bottom of the sea and began to secretly set up a trapping array that was suitable for use in the water.
The treasure umbrella was temporarily useless. It had yet to be upgraded.
Li Changshou fled towards the shore and met up with the paper effigies hidden underground. He put away the paper effigies and found a forest by the sea to hide.
He closed his eyes and focused. Every movement in the wind and grass within a radius of hundreds of kilometers entered his heart.
A moment later, a huge wave rose on the surface of the sea 50 kilometers away!
A circular array appeared on the surface of the sea and trapped the huge wave!
The hundred-meter-long demon did not notice the ambush in front of it and directly crashed into the temporary trapping array. When it realized that the situation was not right, it immediately began to charge crazily!
The six paper effigies had already appeared from various places and rushed around the great demon. They each scattered a few bottles of poisonous powder and used their immortal power to stick to the great demon's body.
In an instant, the seawater around the great demon became extremely turbid. The great demon's body was rapidly corroded, and its demonic soul was also severely injured!
"You are! Who … are … "
This time, Li Changshou sacrificed the last two bottles of transcendent-grade Soft Immortal Disperser …
Although the great demon's cultivation realm was higher, its resistance to medicine was obviously not as good as the Second Prince of the Donghai Dragon Palace that he had encountered previously. Its movements immediately became extremely slow.
Li Changshou was extremely tense.
After the six paper effigies finished scattering the poisonous powder, they each held a sword and rushed forward. Talismans that were connected by immortal light appeared in the seawater.
The sword array and the True Samadhi Flames were unleashed at the same time!
The talisman arrays were like chains that locked the great demon from all directions. The power of the talisman arrays erupted, sealing, electrocuting, freezing, and roasting …
Most of the demon's body, which had been corroded by the poisonous powder, no longer had any defensive power.
Six immortal swords wrapped in the True Samadhi Flames slashed across the great demon's body, and six intersecting cracks immediately appeared!
Waves of True Samadhi Flames drilled into the cracks, using the demon's spirit, Qi, and spirit as fuel. The flames burned everywhere!
The flames enveloped the great demon in the blink of an eye, but the latter could not let out any screams …
In the tree on the coast, Li Changshou clenched his left hand into a fist. The six paper effigies each held a fire sword and rushed into various parts of the demon's body.
Flames surged in the seawater within the array wall!
Pillars of water exploded on the surface of the sea. A few pieces of remnant bodies wrapped in the True Samadhi Flames soared into the sky. The demonic soul inside was locked in midair by the long chains of the talisman arrays and was engulfed by the surging True Samadhi Flames!
Li Changshou used the Five-Element Escape Technique. Wood Escape, Earth Escape, and Water Escape were completed in one go. He rushed towards the place where the trapping array was.
When he rushed to the array, the three paper effigies sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea, chanting the Salvation Sutra, the Rebirth Mantra, and the Disaster-Dispelling Blessing Mantra.
The three paper effigies were dealing with the remaining poisonous powder in the seawater. They opened their mouths and sucked the polluted seawater and the inextinguishable flames into their stomachs before recycling them later.
The True Samadhi Flames were really ferocious. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the huge body of the great demon was left with only a pile of ashes on the surface of the sea …
Li Changshou emerged from the water and suddenly thought of a problem.
The power of the True Samadhi Flames was too strong. If he needed to use it to refine pills in the sect, or if someone suddenly asked him about the cultivation of the True Samadhi Flames, wouldn't that …
I should think about how to reduce the power of the True Samadhi Flames.
It would be best if the power could be controlled and the size could be adjusted at will.
Li Changshou threw out the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and waved his sleeve. The pile of ashes and seawater was sucked into his palm, forming a water ball. He threw it into the air and gently exploded.
Unexpectedly, it felt a little comfortable …
The chanting continued. Li Changshou held the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and checked the memory fragments inside.
Yes, this great demon did not come from the South Ocean. It originally lived in the West Ocean …
There were no powerful people among its ancestors. Due to the lack of luck, the deep-sea demons had never been able to support them …
This fish demon had killed countless people. Countless fishermen on the sea had died in its hands. It killed them on behalf of the heavens.
A ray of golden light suddenly flew up from the surface of the sea and entered Li Changshou's arm.
Li Changshou suddenly understood something. He felt that his Dao had gained protection, and his path to immortality seemed to have become smoother.
That was merit.
He roughly estimated that he would be able to condense the Golden Body of Merit after killing a few million great demons that had committed a lot of sins …
Otherwise, forget it. It's good to stay in the mountains and not go out.
"Huh?"
Li Changshou frowned. He saw something strange in the memory fragments of this thing.
Sneak attack the village, pretend to be repelled by the mud statue, and return to the sea to hide …
Then, sneak attack other villages, pretend to be repelled by the mud statue, and return to the sea to hide …
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth could not help but twitch. As soon as the chanting stopped, he immediately packed up the paper effigies, Dharma treasures, and treasure pouches.
He did not retrieve the array foundation and hurriedly destroyed the array formation. He used the illusion technique and illusion technique to escape to the east.
This great demon is from the Western Sect!
He's in cahoots with the few people who are preaching in Xiong Village!
They would first promote the essence of the Western Sect there. When the great demon attacked, they would use the mud statue to pretend to repel the great demon and display a "miracle". From there, they would gain a group of loyal believers and provide incense offerings for the Western Sect!
This plan was definitely despicable. However, Li Changshou did not have the sense of justice to expose this matter. He really did not want to have anything to do with the Western Sect.
The two Saints of the Western Sect loved to lead people to the west and were also plotting to become gods.
Before and after the God-Conferment Tribulation, many unnecessary conflicts in the Dao Sect had the shadows of the two Saints' schemes!
After becoming a god, Lao Tzu turned into a Buddha and forced the Western Sect to become a Mahayana Buddhist Sect …
This was a battle for the fate of the sect, and the five Saints were involved!
In this game of chess, the Gold God of the Zenith Heaven was just a chess piece that was casually played by the Saints, let alone an insignificant immortal who had just transcended the tribulation.
I can't afford to offend them. I have to escape quickly.
As fast as lightning, Li Changshou alternated between Water Escape and Earth Escape to the east.
He originally thought that traveling 50,000 kilometers a day was already his limit. He did not expect to travel 50,000 kilometers in just half a day.
There was indeed potential after scaring him.
He went ashore, hid, found a place to fix his makeup, and prepared the physical and magical disguises.
This time, Li Changshou transformed into a weak scholar and rushed northeast.
Hiding in his sleeve, he held the Soul-Bewitching Pearl in his right hand. Li Changshou was carefully observing the scattered memories of the great demon.
Not long after, he really did find some more useful information.
In fact, he even heard the words' Duxian Gate '. It was mentioned by someone else to the great demon in a topic related to the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools …
…
When Li Changshou escaped 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers …
At the entrance of Xiong Village, a group of burly men and women were bored. They yawned continuously as they watched the few people on the platform jump around.
The few Qi Refinement cultivators were also puzzled and kept communicating with their eyes.
Logically speaking, their boss should have appeared. Why hasn't there been any movement?
Did the boss oversleep? Did he get it wrong?
The prayer dance had already been performed three times. The naive villagers below were already tired of watching.
"Ahem!"
The old Daoist priest coughed lightly and stopped chanting. He first shook his head and then shouted in a strange tone,
"If you believe in the Goddess, you can obtain the protection of the Goddess. You will be invulnerable, impervious to fire and water!
Wang Cai, come and demonstrate for everyone. "
The young man who was chosen immediately agreed and secretly stuck a talisman on himself. He knelt in front of the clay statue and offered incense. Golden light appeared on his chest and back.
The talisman was called the Vajra Talisman. It was considered a relatively low-level talisman. It was naturally not a problem for it to block secular weapons.
However, the young disciple took half a step forward. Just as he was about to follow the 'procedure' and call one or two people to come up and slash him …
However, as soon as he thought about it, his spiritual perception jumped wildly and frantically warned him.
Looking at the scene full of unbelievably strong humanoid creatures, Wang Cai was gradually swallowed by the shadows. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
Suddenly, he found a cute girl with red and swollen eyes at the back of the crowd. He was overjoyed. He pointed at the girl and said, "Don't worry.
"Miss, can you come up and try to see if you can beat me?"
"Huh? Oh. "
Xiong Lingli looked up and wiped away her tears. Her face was exceptionally adorable.
However, the moment she squeezed out of the crowd, Wang Cai's legs could not help but tremble.
This …
This …
"Do I really have to hit you?" Xiong Lingli asked softly.
"Yes, yes."
Wang Cai turned to look at the second-in-command of the team. Lao Dao glared at him. Wang Cai had no choice but to agree. He kept telling himself in his heart,
This girl is just a little stronger, but she is just a mortal.
Yes, she is just a mortal.
We are Qi Refinement cultivators. We … will not be afraid.
