呼~

The void seemed to freeze for a moment, even the airflow seemed to stop.

A trace of contemplation appeared on the face formed like smoke, as if observing the city, or even the entire Nanhua Dao.

"You..."

Lin Anxia didn't know who the divine lord was referring to, but he felt a little uneasy.

He had thought the talisman he obtained was a protective charm, but now it seemed that this divine lord had been watching the outside world all along.

Doesn't that mean he had been under this divine lord's surveillance all these years?

"Where is He?"

The cloud-like, ethereal face muttered to itself, as if no one else was there.

His words were desolate, each word and phrase like an ancient god writing history, filled with endless mysteries.

Captivating, awe-inspiring.

Lin Anxia felt his tone as heavy as mountains, pressing down on him and making it difficult to breathe.

"Great Divine Lord, who are you referring to? Is there anything this humble one can do to help?"

Lin Anxia had to speak. Under such heavy pressure, he felt that if he didn't, he would never be able to speak again in his life.

"You?"

The desolate divine voice carried a hint of indifferent mockery: "This god monitors the heavens and the earth, travels day and night, and cannot even find the existence I seek with a thought that can see thousands of mountains and rivers. What qualifications do you, an ant-like existence, have to help this god?"

The ethereal divine face lowered its eyes, and green flames seemed to flicker in the dark eye sockets.

Without looking up, Lin Anxia felt the scorching heat rushing towards him, the terrifying divine power that could burn his primordial spirit along with his physical body.

"Divine Lord, spare me! How could this humble one, like an ant, know your greatness? But I have endless respect in my heart, and even if I die ten thousand times, I would like to do things for the Divine Lord. Even if it is an insignificant help, this humble one would be thrice blessed."

Lin Anxia lowered his head even further, not daring to look up.

The gods rule the heavens and the earth, how dare mortals look directly at them?

According to legends, all those who dare to look directly at the gods will suffer endless and terrifying disasters, not only themselves but also their relatives and friends will perish.

"Hmm..."

The ethereal divine face pondered for a moment, as if moved by the ant before him. The candle flame in his eye sockets flickered faintly before he spoke:

"The mortal world is stinky and dirty, and this god does not like to stay long. Since you are so sincere, this god will bestow upon you supreme glory..."

Whoosh~

As he spoke, each word and phrase turned into substance, flashing with dim divine light and entering Lin Anxia's body.

Buzz~

The latter's body trembled, feeling an immense divine power pouring into him. In an instant, the muscles, bones, and internal organs of his entire body became hot. The body that had been seriously injured by Qiao Moke's full-force strike immediately improved and returned to its peak.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed, repeatedly kowtowing, extremely humble, with only words of gratitude left in his mouth.

"The Divine Emperor has a decree that 'the method of becoming a god' must not be spread in the mortal realm. Only the Golden Core method is allowed in the mortal world. This god cannot violate the Divine Emperor's decree and cannot pass on the three refinements of the primordial spirit to you, but I can pass on the supreme great method of the nine revolutions of the Golden Core!"

The ethereal divine face said faintly:

"The method I pass on to you, if you achieve nine revolutions, you should be able to achieve my 'Great Divine Power of Day Travel.' On the day of success, there will be no enemy of you in the mortal world!"

"Thank you, Divine Lord! Thank you, Great Divine Lord of Day Travel!"

Lin Anxia banged his head on the ground, his heart filled with endless excitement.

Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core!

The Golden Core indeed has the saying of nine revolutions, but there are very few who can practice this method in Qi Tang Kingdom or even the current Eastern Victory Continent!

And since the legendary Divine Emperor cut off the path of gods and humans, the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core is already the most supreme existence in this world!

"If you can find that person, I will definitely petition the Divine Emperor to pass on to you the three refinements of the primordial spirit, and even open a line of ascension for you. It is not impossible to help you become a god!"

The ethereal divine face seemed to sense something and looked at the ant before him with a strange look in his eyes: "You should know what kind of honor this is!"

"This humble one would shatter his bones to repay the Divine Lord's kindness!"

Lin Anxia's expression was solemn, not daring to raise his head, but his voice was extremely humble: "I wonder if the Divine Lord is looking for a human or a demon? What is his background? That god in Linxi City..."

"This, you don't need to know."

The ethereal divine face coldly glanced at Lin Anxia and disappeared into the void like light smoke:

"If you can see it, you will know it!"

"As for the false god in this place..."

The voice stopped there, and after that, it was almost inaudible.

"Respectfully sending off the Divine Lord!"

Lin Anxia kowtowed respectfully and stood up after a long time. Suppressing the palpitations in his heart, he cast a cold glance at Linxi City, which was lying prone, and drifted away.

"When I have cultivated the Great Divine Power of Day Travel, Qiao Moke, the humiliation of today will be repaid!"

......

"Good heavens, I saw it clearly! That ghostly shadow filled the sky, and as soon as His Excellency, the Town Sea King, roared, all the ghostly shadows were swallowed by him!"

"You say His Excellency, the Town Sea King, doesn't eat ghosts? Heh, how do you know?"

"His Excellency, the Town Sea King, has already cultivated into an immortal god, right? What ghost dares to run wild in this Linxi City?"

"...That one who ran away, is he not a traitor of the imperial court!"

The commotion alarmed the entire Linxi City.

The streets and alleys in the city were discussing the previous rumbling sound and who the fleeing figure was. The city guards patrolled everywhere, on high alert. The entire Linxi City was completely awakened from a night of silence.

It's just that Linxi City has been at peace for a long time. The yang and baleful aura gathered by hundreds of thousands of troops prevent demons and ghosts from approaching. Many people have only heard of the legends of ghosts and gods and have never really seen them.

At this time, the discussion was naturally very lively, especially among the people near the Xianke Inn.

A tattered Taoist priest carried a banner and kept talking about his experiences. Of course, most of it was false, but it also attracted many people.

Whoosh~

A cool breeze seemed to blow by, and the group of jeering people all shivered.

The old Taoist's voice stopped abruptly.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Someone rubbed his hands and looked at the old Taoist.

But the old Taoist, who had been eloquent and never left the subject of ghosts and gods, suddenly became ice-cold. With one glance, the group of people seemed to be frozen stiff, standing there dumbfounded.

"God?"

The old Taoist coldly swept across the long street, pinched the banner behind him, turned around, and left the long street.

Even after he left, everyone on the long street remained motionless. The people and scenery seemed to form a vivid ink painting.

Until someone else walked in and felt a tremor under their feet, everyone on the long street, hundreds of people, seemed to have lost their souls and all fell to the ground.

Without breath, as if dead.

"Ah! Dead people, dead people?!"

The person was so frightened that his face turned pale. Everyone on the long street was dead!

.....

Linxi City is centered around the Town Sea King's Mansion, with main roads like the main trunk of a tree, and small roads like branches and leaves, forming the vast Linxi City.

In the past, there were very few people around the Town Sea King's Mansion. Even the gentry in the city did not dare to come.

The few servants guarding the gate were also bored, talking about all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Qin Honghai rose to the sky in one step to become a guest, the Great Strength God statue had great power, and the great commotion that spread in the city.

Suddenly, a servant straightened up and looked to the left, seeing a tattered old Taoist priest coming unhurriedly.

"Hey! Where did this old Taoist come from? Doesn't he know that our lord is close to Buddha and far from Taoism? He must have come to the wrong place to sponge off others, right?"

The other servants also saw the Taoist priest.

A servant 'yo-ho'-ed and pointed to the banner held by the old Taoist, chanting:

"With open eyes, you can see a hundred days of red dust and a thousand kinds of people, with closed eyes, you can see ten thousand kinds of ghosts in the night! Hiss~ What a big tone..."

The old Taoist walked over calmly, without any expression, his aura was cold. Although his clothes were tattered, he had an air of majesty that did not anger.

At first, the servants were still a little playful, but as they got closer, they all became flustered, even a little uneasy.

They had been welcoming and sending people off for many years, so they certainly had some insight. Immediately, a servant turned and ran towards the Wang Mansion.

The remaining servants braced themselves and stepped forward, stopping the old Taoist: "Taoist priest, please stop. Allow us to go and report. Please wait a moment."

"This kind of aura, it seems I've heard of it somewhere..."

The old Taoist ignored the gatekeepers and muttered to himself, looking ahead. In his eyes, he reflected strands of strange aura that ordinary people could never see.

His memory was naturally excellent, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this kind of aura.

Whoosh~

Qin Honghai stepped out of the door and cupped his hands from afar: "May I ask where the Taoist priest's immortal hometown is? What brings you here?"

The Great Strength God spread more and more widely, and Qin Honghai naturally rose higher and higher, not only in cultivation but also in status.

Welcoming and sending people off was formerly Qiao Sheng's job, but now he could also do it.

"This old Taoist is passing through this city and sees that this place is surrounded by evil spirits. I have come here naturally to eliminate demons and defend the Dao."

The old Taoist glanced at Qin Honghai lightly and naturally felt the rich alien aura on his body.

What he had never seen was naturally 'magic'.

"Eliminate demons and defend the Dao?"

Qin Honghai frowned, but his heart tightened. For some reason, he thought of the 'Great Strength God'.

Immediately, he couldn't help but force a smile: "Taoist priest, you must be mistaken. This is the Town Sea King's mansion. With our lord here, what demons could dare to approach?"

"If I say there are, then there are."

The old Taoist took a step forward. The servants wanted to stop him, but they fell to the ground as if struck by lightning.

"Bold!"

Qin Honghai stepped out, his muscles as taut as a bowstring, making a deafening sound of snapping.

He raised an arm and slashed down with a palm, like a Xuanhua axe, bursting out with a cold light: "Dare to hurt people here, what do you think this place is!"

Bang!

In a muffled sound of flesh colliding, Qin Honghai was first stunned, then bowed and saluted.

Qiao Moke stretched out a hand and caught his palm.

"Does the Taoist priest have a grudge against Qiao, or a grievance?"

Qiao Moke put down the hand holding Qin Honghai's arm, his expressionless, and looked at the tattered old Taoist priest in front of him with a solemn gaze, who made him somewhat apprehensive.

He also had a bit of a headache in his heart.

In the past few months, Linxi City had become more and more chaotic. First, there was the Underworld Palace, and then this old Taoist priest, both with some mysterious and unpredictable flavor.

"Although you have the appearance of an emperor, you are not qualified to have a feud with me."

The old Taoist answered slowly, his eyes scanning Qiao Moke up and down, his tone calm and ethereal:

"Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
