Pawn Crossing the River

Collecting incense and refining divine power is a technical job. Except for the inheritance of witches and gods, other inheritances are not proficient in this.

As for immortals, it is not easy to generalize.

Because secret societies are rampant, the Taoist sect controls divine power. Ordinary Taoists cannot obtain divine power at will under normal circumstances. They must report to the Taoist sect, state the purpose, and then be approved by the superior department.

Qi Xuansu can do it because he can refine divine power and because he has the power to approve divine power.

Ordinary people cannot compare with Qi Xuansu. What Qi Xuansu can do does not mean that others can do it. Looking at the entire Taoist sect, how many Qi Xuansu are there?

Mengmai was placed in the Western Region Dao Mansion. Although he had all kinds of treatment, he was just an idle position and did not have much real power. Obviously, he could not get divine power, and he could not refine it himself. Even if he could refine it, he would face two problems. One is where the incense and wish power as raw materials came from, and the other is how efficient the refining is.

So Mengmai chose a simpler way and directly sacrificed living people.

As we all know, flesh and blood and living souls can play the role of divine power to a certain extent. This is reasonable. Whether it is the power of incense and vows, or the flesh and blood of living souls, they all come from humans. The difference is that directly absorbing flesh and blood and living souls will generate karmic fire, which will eventually backfire on oneself, while divine power is harmless.

If food is the hard currency of the human world, then divine power is the hard currency of the boundless, mysterious and vast world. It takes divine power for the celestial being to cut out the incarnation and return to the human world, and it takes divine power to open up the kingdom of God. Even divine power can be converted into mana, true essence, and so on.

As for why the extraterritorial demons need divine power, it also makes sense. Judging from the experience of Yun Shen, the kingdom of God can be transformed into a cave heaven, and it takes divine power to establish the kingdom of God. The extraterritorial demons are stitched together with abandoned kingdoms of God, the remains of cave heavens, and the fragments of the world. Naturally, they can absorb divine power and repair their own defects.

From motivation to logic, all this makes sense.

The extraterritorial demons are free from the human world, silently watching the human world. For them, the human world has something they don’t have and are extremely eager for-people.

Of course, there are people in the boundless, mysterious and vast world, but these "people" are too powerful and too few. Hunting these "people" is extremely risky, and there is even the possibility of being killed.

But the people in the human world are so weak and vulnerable, like ants. The instinct of the extraterritorial demons drives them to enter the human world, plunder the fragments of the world, plunder the population, in order to fill themselves, hoping that one day they can evolve into a real world.

Today's human world has entered the Tai Chi period. For the people in the human world, this is the end of the law era, and the immortal path is about to be cut off. For the extraterritorial demons, it means that the door to the human world is about to close, and they can no longer enter the human world as their bodies, and it is even difficult for them to descend in their incarnations.

So it has entered a special period similar to the last light of life. Various ancient gods and ancient immortals are resurrected at this time, making a last-ditch effort, and the extraterritorial demons also begin to appear in groups, intending to make a big profit in the end. It seems to be a coincidence, but it is inevitable.

It's like an article has come to an end. No matter how many foreshadowings there are, and how the grass snakes and gray lines are, it should be concluded.

Then it makes sense.

Now there is another question, what is this "Eternal Heaven" all about? Is it under the name of "Eternal Heaven"? Or is it the true face of Shamanism's Eternal Heaven?

Qi Xuansu thinks the latter is unlikely. The corrosiveness of the extraterritorial demons is too strong. The ancient immortals and ancient gods can only be regarded as bewitching people's hearts, while the extraterritorial demons directly corrode people's hearts. Specifically, people who are related to the extraterritorial demons are either crazy or stupid.

For example, Meng Mai has already shown obvious signs of dementia at this time.

But the shamanism that believes in Eternal Heaven is different. Although it is not as good as Taoism, it has an orderly inheritance. Over the years, whether it is deeply involved in the internal and foreign affairs of the Golden Horde, or even controlling the government, or cultivating to become an immortal and developing believers, it is like a normal person, and there is no sign of losing control. From this point of view, even if Eternal Heaven is not as good as the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, it should be equivalent to the incarnation of the Taoist Ancestor, similar to the Three Pure Ones and the Golden Palace Emperor of Taoism.

There is another piece of evidence, that is, Master Jiang also practiced the "Eternal Heaven Fundamental Law" of Shamanism, and nothing happened, and he was not affected at all. Especially when he reprimanded Qi Xuansu, he showed no signs of being possessed by the devil.

That means that Eternal Heaven is a normal god.

Then the "Eternal Heaven" that appeared later should be a fake name of Eternal Heaven. The so-called "Eternal Heaven" and Eternal Heaven.

After all, Eternal Heaven has left the world for many years, and this position is vacant.

As for why he didn't pretend to be Daozu, we have to talk about the story of Daozu frequently beheading his incarnations. From Guangcheng Patriarch to Li Laojun, from Sanqing Patriarch to the later Jinque Emperor, what is inaction and inaction?

This fake "Eternal Heaven" eroded Batu Khan, who was in despair. Facing the situation where the enemy was at the gates of the city, Batu Khan chose to believe in the "Eternal Heaven" in his dreams, built a temple, prayed devoutly, and prayed for the blessing of "Eternal Heaven". Then "Eternal Heaven" expanded its influence to the entire Xiting through Batu Khan, and finally sacrificed the entire Xiting after the defeat.

Even some Taoists were affected and gradually spread to various places.

The main force of this battle was the black-clothed man. It was probably because of this battle that the Great Xuan Court realized that the extraterritorial demons had started to move again in the human world, so they found the head of Wang Jujun, who was related to the extraterritorial demons, and began to pay attention to the anomalies in various places, looking for the existence of extraterritorial demons, and determined the location of "Cangtian" through Wang Jujun's head.

This can explain why the Great Xuan Court did not look for it earlier or later, but only started looking now. It should have a lot to do with the attack on Xiting this time.

According to the time, Qi Xuansu officially entered the Tiangang Hall at the end of the war in the Western Regions, and the incident in Xiting had already happened. It was about this time that the two great governors reported the results of this battle to the emperor. At this time, Su Yuanzai had already discovered Yunshen Cave Heaven and entered it many times.

When Qi Xuansu was promoted to the rank of Canzhi Zhenren, the Great Xuan Court had also studied the extraterritorial demons almost thoroughly and determined the location of "Cangtian", but just let Qi Xuansu pick the peaches.

There is one thing worth noting here. The reason why Qi Xuansu was able to quickly determine that "Changshengtian" was an extraterritorial demon was because he had seen the existence of "Cangtian" and had personal experience, so he could just reverse the process.

The Daxuan court did not have this condition. At the beginning, they should have been like the Beichen Hall branch, and did not realize that the extraterritorial demon had reappeared in the world. Instead, they thought that this matter was related to an unknown ancient immortal, and they might not have taken it seriously at the beginning. When the affected black-clothed man showed abnormalities and attracted attention, he would take many detours during the period, and time was wasted.

However, even so, the Daxuan court realized that the extraterritorial demon had reappeared in the world earlier than the Taoist sect. Instead, the Taoist sect focused on internal fighting and did not pay attention to this aspect. After all, the general election is coming, whether it is the extraterritorial demon or the ancient god making trouble, they must give way to the Taoist election.

The extraterritorial demons are different from the ancient immortals and gods. They are too powerful and are superior to ordinary ancient immortals and gods. They do not have independent consciousness in the true sense, but have a collective will similar to group consciousness, or in Western terms, call it the prototype of world consciousness, so they are as ruthless as the way of heaven.

Just like this water, irrigating the land and nurturing the people, it is not because of the kindness of water; floods raging and swamping the country for thousands of miles, it is not because of the tyranny of water. All emotions are added by people, and water only acts according to objective laws. This is the ruthlessness of the way of heaven, and it is also the highest realm pursued by Tai Shang Wangqing. Therefore, the heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs.

The harm caused by the extraterritorial demons is more like a natural disaster.

Qi Xuansu checked the things he found from Meng Seller's home again. Among them was a book with a cover made of a strange metal. A big eye was engraved on the front, tightly closed. The people of the Beichen Hall branch tried every means to open the book, but they couldn't even hurt it.

Qi Xuansu thought: This is your luck. If you really open the book, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Qi Xuansu ordered the people of Beichen Branch Hall not to interfere in this matter. Meng Mai's case was classified as top secret, and all files and materials were banned. Without his permission, no one could access these files and other related items. Meng Mai was imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison. Without his permission, no one could contact, visit or observe him.

According to the laws of Taoism, Jinque, local Daofu and their authorized agencies have the right to determine the top secret secrets of Taoism. As the real person in charge of the house, Qi Xuansu certainly has this power.

The Beichen Branch Hall realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately executed the order.

Qi Xuansu left the book alone.

The fact that the people of Beichen Branch Hall could not open it did not mean that Qi Xuansu could not open it, but that the people of Beichen Branch Hall did not know how to do it.

Qi Xuansu chose to inject divine power directly, and then the closed eyes on the cover slowly opened.

In an instant, Qi Xuansu saw a huge eye. It was so big that it almost covered the whole world. The flying boat flew past it like a mayfly, and the mortals were like dust in front of it.

It was spying on the dimension of time and the dimension of space. From the thirty-three days opened up by the Taoist ancestor to the Zixiao Palace in Yujing; from the sight of the great master to the distracting thoughts in the heart of a certain mortal; from the boundless and mysterious world where mortals would disappear immediately after entering, to the underworld at the end of Furong Mountain and the roots of the Emperor Willow, it saw everything and knew everything.

The owner of this eye was "Changshengtian".

A terrifying existence from a higher dimension cast its sights on Qi Xuansu at this moment.

Qi Xuansu felt an unparalleled great power coming, wanting to erode him, wanting to change him, wanting to occupy him.

However, there was a world between the two, and when this power really landed on him, it had been infinitely weakened, and its power was only one tenth of it.

At the same time, another force came and protected him.

This is the power of He Luoshen.

If the extraterritorial demons are giant elephants, then ordinary immortals are savages. The fact that giant elephants can trample savages to death does not mean that savages with weapons cannot threaten giant elephants.
