Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Wrongly Accused Black Wind Town’s Earth Deity? (Seeking Follow-up)
Translator: 549690339
The story splits into two parts.
The Netherworld beneath Black Wind Town.
The City God’s Temple.
A Daoist sits cross-legged on a cushion, his half-transparent body shrouded in gray fog.
Suddenly.
The Daoist opens his eyes.
“My spirit has completely stabilized. Next, I just need to return to the real world and start Hang-up Cultivation. Then, it will be a matter of course to practice to reach the peak of Spirit Night Travel.”
Xuanqing senses the state of his spirit.
Of course.
Before returning to the real world to start Hang-up Cultivation, he intends to see if he can deal with Elder Jinchi first.
“How do you feel, Daoist friend?”
A clear voice rings in his ear, the voice of the City God.
Xuanqing looks up.
This City God has changed a lot compared to before. His soul has become more solid, and his aura is more abundant. He finally has the feeling of a proper Seventh-grade Yin God.
“You look great, Lord City God!” Xuanqing praises.
“Where, where, it’s all thanks to the incense you gave me, Daoist friend. Your kindness is too much for me to handle. If you ever need anything, I will do my best to help you.”
The City God says happily.
After everything is done.
He takes out a token from his body and hands it over, explaining, “This is the
Ghost Gate Pass Order for Black Wind Town.”
“The holder of the order can command Yin soldiers and Yin generals, and it can also be used as a pass between the human world and the Netherworld.”
“But as you know the situation in the Netherworld, I’m afraid… for Daoist friend, it can only be used as a blessed land for cultivation.”
“That’s enough!”
Xuanqing takes the token and speaks calmly.
To be honest.
With the current situation of the City God, he doesn’t expect anything else. The main goal is to keep this place for cultivation.
He has tried.
With his current state of Spirit Night Travel, practicing in the City God’s Temple with the help of the Netherworld’s Qi is several times more effective than in the human world.
If he starts Hang-up Cultivation, the speed of cultivation will double again. Such a treasure land, if lost, would be a pity.
Even if he breaks through to Spirit Day Travel later, he can let his apprentice also cultivate in the Netherworld.
“Lord City God, rest well. 1 will go first to deal with things, and then come back to the Netherworld for closed-door cultivation!”
Xuanqing cups his hands in greeting.
Then.
He takes out the token given by the City God, ready to try the Ghost Gate Pass Order. When holding the token, he automatically knows how to use it.
“Order!”
With a command, he is enveloped by a refreshing Qi. His entire spirit, like a hydrogen balloon, breaks free from gravity and flies into the sky.
At this moment!
The City God looks at the direction Xuanqing is heading and feels a deep sense of emotion.
Actually.
Before Xuanqing entered the Netherworld, he knew that a Daoist with divine light was approaching.
At that time, his heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling that his fate might lie with this Daoist.
“Tsk tsk- He doesn’t even know the basics, yet he has the identity of a Daoist Immortal Officer!”
“This Xuanqing Daoist…is really mysterious. Could it be that he’s some kind of big shot…hiss!”
The City God mumbles unconsciously.
Suddenly, he thinks of something, and his heart is in shock, as he inhales a breath of Netherworld Qi.
Black Wind Town.
The Five Thunder Institute Left Judge Temple.
Inside the main hall.
A half-transparent and illusory figure enters the body of the Daoist sitting cross-legged on the cushion.
In the blink of an eye.
The spirit returns to its place.
“Congratulations, Sir, on your great progress in cultivation!”
“Sir, Fat Ya has missed you-”
Several voices ring out in the main hall.
Xuanqing opened his eyes and saw a chubby Fat Ya coming towards him.
A doting look appeared on his face.
Everyone has their preferences, for Xuanqing, his favorite were these chubby human cubs, extremely adorable.
So, fate works in mysterious ways.
“Black Bear, White Snake, you’ve worked hard.”
“Once this year’s Heavenly Court salary is distributed, I will reward you with a portion.” Xuanqing said to the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She.
Now.
The two demons were merely Taoist boys, with Daoist status but not yet Immortal Officers, so naturally, they couldn’t receive any salary.
Upon hearing this,
The two demons exchanged glances.
n
Sir, is the Heavenly Court’s salary that Innate Merit?” Gentleman Bai She asked curiously.
“Correct!”
“Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms, is responsible for natural phenomena such as wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth in the world, gains Heaven and Earth’s approval. Once gaining Daoist Immortal status, naturally, one can receive a portion of the Innate Merit salary!”
Xuanqing nodded and explained.
All this information was learned from the City God. The so-called Innate Merit refers to the existence of living beings themselves. Those who gain Heaven and Earth’s approval for their contributions can obtain Innate Merit.
At this moment,
Now that their master had confirmed it,
The two demons were extremely excited in their hearts.
It is important to know that,
They have just recently joined their master, and have already received actual rewards.
It is rumored that Innate Merit is very useful, whether it is for refining magic treasures, absorbing cultivation, or as protection during catastrophe crossing, it is very handy.
“Thank you, Sir, for your reward!” The Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She bowed to show their gratitude.
“Hmm!”
Xuanqing nodded slightly and then commanded, “Black Bear, go and call the Black Wind Town’s Land God here!”
n
Yes!
H
The Black Bear Essence responded in a deep voice.
After leaving the temple, he summoned a demonic wind and headed towards Black Wind Town.
A moment later,
The Land God of Black Wind Town was brought back to the temple by the Black Bear Essence.
“This little god pays respects to the superior immortal, may I ask what instructions do you have for calling upon me?” The Land God of Black Wind Town respectfully bowed.
“The reason 1 called you here is to ask you about something.”
Xuanqing approached the Earth God with his hands behind his back.
“Since I took office as the Left Magistrate of the Five Thunder Court to reward good and punish evil, I have never exercised my divine authority. Today, 1 want to test if this Penalty of Evil Thunder is useful!”
“Do you know who in Black Wind Town is a great evil?” Xuanqing’s eyes were deep, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Upon hearing this,
The Black Wind Town’s Land God trembled.
Vaguely,
He had a guess in his heart, but because the matter was so important, he didn’t dare to be certain at the moment.
“In response to the superior immortal, Zhang Yuanwai of the town’s rice shop is a great evil person. A few years ago, he hoarded grain and raised prices regardless of the disaster, resulting in countless people starving to death.”
“Besides, Miss Yang of Yichun Pavilion is also a great evil, setting up traps together with the town’s casino, forcing good people into prostitution, and causing families to break and people to die.”
“The casino’s…”
“And there’s that ranger Yan Peng, who collaborates with …robbers and thieves…”
As the Land God of Black Wind Town narrated,
Xuanqing frowned.
He hadn’t expected that such a small Black Wind Town could harbor so many evil forces.
At the same time,
He felt somewhat dissatisfied with the Land God of Black Wind Town.
As the Earth God during human towns, since he enjoyed the incense offerings of the people, besides managing leylines and adjusting the water and atmosphere, he should be protecting the people.
“As the Black Wind Town’s Land God, why do you let these great evils wreak havoc?” Xuanqing’s eyes were cold.
“I have been wronged, superior immortal!”
Thud-
The Land God of Black Wind Town suddenly knelt on the ground, with a wronged expression on his face..
