Chapter 443: Chapter 213: Yudou’s Number One Expert_2

Chen Shi observed for a moment, then walked down from one side to survey the layout of the temple.

The incense fire of the Three Treasures eunuch was prosperous, enduring uninterrupted for more than six thousand years. Theoretically, the power contained within the Incense Fire Qi should have been exceedingly rich, yet for some reason, this extraordinary power never condensed onto the statues of the deities.

Although this extraordinary force was formed from the Incense Fire Qi, it found no anchor within the temple. Hence, it gradually dissipated, being absorbed by the temple’s dragon pillars, plaques, murals, incense burners, and even the turtles and carps released in the temple pond!

However, the Golden Body of the Three Treasures eunuch remained untouched by this extraordinary power!

Chen Shi approached the pond, where he saw freedom-releasing turtles as big as pot covers, with the largest one as big as a table for eight, lying on a stone slathering in the water’s surface, inhaling and exhaling this extraordinary force. Its demonic power was extraordinary, its Divine Power robust.

Within the freedom-releasing pond, the carps were completely red, growing whiskers like a dragon, and even their foreheads started to bulge.

There weren’t just one or two of these carps, but more than a dozen!

If these demons knew how to cultivate, they might be able to condense this extraordinary force in a short time, transform into extremely formidable demons, achieve a Golden Core, and even reach the state of Nascent Soul!

"How strange, the extraordinary power in the freedom-releasing pond of Zheng King Temple is so terrifying, so why doesn’t King Zheng have any extraordinary power?"

After pondering for a moment, an idea struck Chen Shi, "I command the West King Jade Seal, which appoints the spirits throughout the land. Now that I’m in Yudou, why not simply enthrone King Zheng as the Divine of Yudou, and illuminate Yudou on the map of the land?"

He decided to act immediately, returned to the main hall, took out the West King Jade Seal, brought up the geographic map of Yudou, and inwardly recited, "The junior, Chen Shi, possessing the West King Jade Seal and following the will of the True King, apportions the Earth Gods of fifty provinces in the New Continent. Having come to Yudou and seeing Zheng King Temple has a divine statue without a Divine Position, I, therefore, presumptuously confer divinity. Now I appoint the Three Treasures of King Zheng as the Divine of Yudou, ruler of the mountains, rivers, villages, stockades, towns, and cities of Yudou, to protect its citizens, ensuring favorable weather for the crops and a harmonious community."

He raised the West King Jade Seal in ritual, and this Heavenly Treasure Seal flew up, imprinted onto the hem of the deities’ Golden Bodies.

Just as Chen Shi was about to retrieve the West King Jade Seal, suddenly he heard a voice say, "Young man, could I take a look at your treasure seal?"

Chen Shi turned around to see that the speaker was a lean and haggard old man in his sixties or seventies, dressed in simple but fine fabric, fitting and neat, like a retired Confucian who had read much poetry and returned to live in the countryside.

Chen Shi, holding the West King Jade Seal, smiled and said, "Elder, please have a look."

"Impudent."

The lean and dried-up old man uttered a word, pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully placed it in his palm before cautiously accepting the West King Jade Seal, examining and recognizing the text on it. After a moment, he handed the West King Jade Seal back to Chen Shi and said, "Forgive me."

Seeing that he was polite and well-spoken, Chen Shi took a liking to him. He put the Jade Seal back into his sleeve casually and said with a smile, "Elder, are you a local?"

Seeing him carelessly put away the Jade Seal, the elder couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain, saying, "Be careful with it, don’t knock and damage it!"

Chen Shi was startled, "Elder, you’re interesting, you care about this thing even more than I do!"

The lean and dried-up old man wanted to find a precious case for him but, feeling around, found he wasn’t carrying one. He had no choice but to say, "You should keep this treasure well, find a jade box, line it with plenty of silk floss in it, and wrap it up tightly. Don’t just stuff it into your sleeve; if it gets knocked or chipped, you’ll regret it too late!"

Chen Shi said, "I usually just toss it in my cart, mixing it with miscellaneous items. If it weren’t for my need to visit Prince Zheng, I wouldn’t even carry it with me."

The lean and dried-up old man was pained on his behalf and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

Chen Shi laughed, "Pick it up? Zhu Scholar at my doorstep said it was an heirloom of his family, no longer wanted it, and gave it to me. Seeing as you recognize the seal, it must be extraordinary."

The old man’s eyes widened in a skeptical look, but he did not reveal his own origin, exclaiming, "Did you steal it? Return it early!"

Chen Shi laughed, "I later met the True King, who gave me the map of geography. It’s all stuffed in this seal."

The lean and dried-up old man grew even more suspicious, "The True King has long passed away, how could he give you even the geographic map of West Bull New Continent?"

Chen Shi walked outside, laughing, "Believe it or not, Elder."

The lean and dried-up old man followed behind him, quickening his pace to catch up, "Is it really given to you by the True King? What else did the True King say? What did you imprint on King Zheng’s Golden Body just now?"

Chen Shi stopped, helplessly saying, "Don’t shout so loudly. I’ve committed a crime, I need to leave quickly! Your shouting will alert others, and then I won’t be able to escape. Since you saw it, I won’t hide it from you. Seeing that King Zheng’s Golden Body never gathered divine semblance, I thus conferred divinity upon him, making him the Earth God of Yudou. From now on, he will be the God ruling over Yudou."

The lean and dried-up old man’s eyes grew even rounder, and he eagerly grasped Chen Shi’s hand, "You’ve enthroned King Zheng as the Earth God of Yudou? You possess this divine authority?"

Chen Shi struggled free, "Elder, you’re hindering me! I’ll have you know, I kill without blinking an eye! The bloodshed in Rouge Lane was my doing, as well as the cases involving the matriarch of Red Lady Society, Joy Forest, and the Mingfeng Pavilion! If you keep shouting, I’ll send you to meet Prince Zheng!"

The old man let go, seeming distraught, then suddenly rushed back into the main hall as if remembering something.

He burst into the main hall, only to see the extraordinary power of Zheng King Temple gathering towards King Zheng’s Golden Body!

The lean and dried-up old man was stunned, trembling with emotion, tears welling in his eyes.

Chen Shi called for Black Pot and strode out of Zheng King Temple, heading out of the city.
