Chapter 457: Chapter 454 Not a Moment to Rest

This team of Immortal Officials from the Dou Department moved immediately to a new location after firing.

With the profound and sublime Ziwei Dipper, they eradicated three small nations behind Yin Mountain in a single night without a scratch.

The blazing flames illuminated the figures of those dozen or so Immortal Officials outside the city, stretching their shadows long and far.

But the brilliant Merit Golden Wheels behind their heads shone in unison, dazzlingly bright, even more so than the intensely burning city itself.

Of course, what was even more dazzling were the radiant smiles hanging on their lips.

"I never expected that within these Yin Mountain Ghost Countries, there would be so many Yin Soldiers who had practiced the Military Skill in their lives—over two hundred combined from the three countries.

Before the great development of Yin Mountain is complete, I should be able to assemble a true ’Daoist Soldier · Beggar Camp’ and experience the unbeatable delight of Yellow Seal."

When in Yunjing City, Xin Xiaowei, who was characterized by ’strong in body, poor in wealth’, was already a Military Leader equivalent to the Earth Essence Realm.

After joining Wang Yuan’s command, she naturally obtained the privilege to exchange Yin Morality for the favor of Heavenly Dao.

Her Military Skill Cultivation soared to the Great Success Realm as if riding on a rocket.

She thus became the undisputed strongest in the entire "Beggar Camp."

And because she was still young, even without having been granted the Heavenly Destiny to dominate the world, there was great hope for her to attempt the fifth realm and become a Martial Saint within a few years!

Now, having heeded Wang Yuan’s call to enter the Yin Department, she not only quickly amassed enough money and supplies for the Beggar Camp to survive the winter,

but also discovered to her delight that the Underworld was teeming with Ghost Souls who had practiced Military Skill in their lives.

If she could subdue them and organize them into Yin Soldiers that can be carried with her, she would be able to exhibit the true power of the Military Skill anytime, anywhere.

Turning her head to her mother who had just converted another group of ’believers’, Xin Xiaowei couldn’t help but beam with joy:

"Mom, at this rate, it won’t be long before you can ascend to Divine Transformation.

The fiercely competitive Yang World is nowhere near as good as the Underworld, which has no competitors at all.

If the other Magicians who practice the Three Part Spells for Exorcism knew you had exclusive access to countless Wild Ghosts in the Underworld, they would probably die of jealousy."

As long as sentient beings recite the spells daily, they can obtain the response of a Curse Spirit.

In critical moments, it can be used to subdue demons, exorcise disasters, or cast spells to bring calamities.

Any bit of Wishing Power or Mana cultivated by them every day would be directly sensed by the Curse Spirit.

Even if separated by a thousand miles or even two realms, it could easily absorb and enhance itself.

If there are thousands or tens of thousands of sentient beings practicing the spell-methods,

even if the Taoist Skill each one achieves is extremely weak, the collective force could become substantial, like gathering fur to make a coat, or sand to build a tower.

With infinite Wishing Power added together, the Curse Spirit could naturally grow at a rate far surpassing that of ordinary Magicians.

In the Yang World, the development of ’believers’ required some restraint, but in this Underworld, where there was no need to be careful with jars and pots, such concerns were unnecessary.

Even if Xin Ruoheng chose not to convert them personally anymore,

those ’believers’ would naturally spread the word for stronger power and more sumptuous food, multiplying rapidly...

Allowing the Curse Spirit at the apex of the pyramid to achieve winner-takes-all.

Hearing this, Xin Ruoheng’s face also revealed an expression of joy.

"Hehe, among the common Dharma Veins, it’s rare to find a Magician who has practiced the Three Part Spells for Exorcism to my current level.

Once I ascend to Divine Transformation and reach the limit of Mystical Department Taoist Skill, if I want to continue to advance, the only way is to devour other ’Curse Spirits.’

Swallowing 64 Curse Spirits can complete the Earth Department Taoist Skill to ascend to Green Seal, and swallowing 365 Curse Spirits can complete the Heavenly Department Tao Skill with a hope of becoming a Corpse Dissection Immortal.

As long as I ascend to the peak Divine Transformation, I won’t have to worry about being suddenly eaten by someone else.

Unless someone has already swallowed 64 Curse Spirits and achieved Green Seal!"

Similar to the Beidou Evil-Cutting Spell, there are a total of 365 Divine Spells, which include both Good Spells and Evil Curses and form the entire collection of the Three Part Spells for Exorcism.

In those days, the creator of this Taoist Skill, the Wushan King, entrenched himself in the deep mountains of the southwest and harmed the region by intentionally spreading this Taoist Skill.

He successively devoured 365 Magicians who had practiced the Three Part Spells for Exorcism and merged them into a Ling Mountain Ten Witches Curse that was comparable to Heavenly Department Tao Skill.

It was only after the Martial Saint from Nine Soldiers, the premier duelist Mars Star Lord, intervened, that the issue was thoroughly resolved.

This Ling Mountain Ten Witches Curse was formidable indeed.

At the time, the Mars Star Lord who engaged Wushan King in the grand battle hailed from the most formidable lineage among Nine Soldiers—the Dragon Elephant Tao.

The Six-Eared Macaque who became a Corpse Dissection Immortal thanks to its Monkey Demon heritage, was once the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast of this "Dragon Elephant Tao."

Among the several well-known Corpse Dissection Immortals from Nine Soldiers,

there were two others who came from there, one was Taishang and the other Lady Xiang.

A single sect with three True Immortals!

Even without knowing if there were any alternate identities involved, "Dragon Elephant Tao" was undoubtedly a core pillar of Nine Soldiers.

Following the grand battle between Mars Star Lord and Wushan King,

the collection of the Three Part Spells for Exorcism scattered across the world, becoming incomplete and fragmented over time.

Even if someone with boundless ambition aspired to recreate this Heavenly Department Taoism, it would inevitably be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

"We should leave now."

Guo Feihu whistled sharply.

Just as everyone was preparing to return to Fengdu City to complete their task, Xin Ruoheng suddenly paused in her actions.

Observing the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net that Wang Yuan had granted access to enter the Underworld, her expression grew more and more serious.

Suddenly turning to her daughter with a grave look, she said:

"Xiaowei, I’ve received a request for help from a peer and need to go to the south, and I might also visit Langqiong Six Shao under the jurisdiction of the Green God.

Recently, there might not be many chances for you to come to the Underworld, so be careful on your own.

When you act, watch and help each other with your colleagues, do not be reckless, and contact me through the "Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net" if there is anything."

After finishing, he greeted Xu Zhenzhi and Guo Feihu, then hurriedly returned to the Mortal World.

...

At the same time.

Wang Yuan also left only his "Yama’s Avatar" to continue presiding over the grand scheme of Fengdu City.

His true body, along with Huang Wu, returned to Dengzhou Prefecture and took up residence in King Jing Mansion.

Today, the mansion, both inside and out, was festooned with lanterns and streamers, for it celebrated double happiness.

The first joy was that Big Cousin, Zhou Jinghuan, had finally taken control of Dongchang Mansion, Wuding Prefecture, and Yizhou Prefecture, which had been infiltrated for more than two months.

With Dengzhou Prefecture at the center, the neighboring three prefectures had become the scale armor of the Hidden Dragon, greatly expanding the strategic depth.

The Yang Officials and Yin Officials, who had been stockpiling supplies for a long time, also departed at the first opportunity with winter provisions in all directions.

Striving to stabilize the situation in the three prefectures in the shortest time possible, they aimed not to let any commoners freeze or starve in this year’s cold winter.

Dengzhou Prefecture was-supported by Wang Yuan’s "Dushuo Mountain" and "Sewing Machine Hell," the two major production bases.

When counting the war potential of all vassals, none could compare with Zhou Jinghuan.

With these constant supplies, the Dragon Energy in the territory started to rise again, also boosting Big Cousin’s Military Skill Cultivation by leaps and bounds.

Wang Yuan estimated that by next spring, when the loyalty of the populace in the three prefectures was fully secured,

he should be able to achieve Great Success as a "Military Leader" and prepare for his promotion to "Martial Saint," even faster than the talented girl, Xin Xiaowei.

And this second joy was that the Princess Consort of King Jing Mansion, Duan Zhiyin, finally became pregnant several months after their marriage.

She herself was the top expert in the "Dragon-Ascending Art of the Literati" within the King Jing Group.

Moreover, Qingyan and Long Shao, the two Dragon Gods, came to investigate at the first opportunity and had long confirmed that she was carrying dragon and phoenix twins in her womb.

In an instant, the Princess Consort of King Jing became the most honored person in the whole family, and even half of Yu State.

Even Huang Wu, who was gradually tapping into the power of conception as the "Doumu Taiyin Lord," made a special trip across two realms to bring her blessings after hearing the news.

Off to the side, by several women.

"Boss Wang? Brother-in-law? Ehehe..."

Big Cousin, with an embarrassed face, rubbed his thumb and index finger together in front of Wang Yuan.

"Hmph!"

Wang Yuan gave him a sideways glance irritably; the guy had been swaggering in front of him when they first met.

Causing himself to be chided by his mother-in-law.

He thought: If it weren’t for us diligently practicing the "Yin Yang Bright Method" every day, with all Yang Energy being refined by Little Huang Wu,

how could it be his turn, a mere uncle-in-law, to strut around like this?

Moreover, for the sake of a beautiful world for two, Wang Yuan’s attitude towards creatures like the "Four-Legged Golden Swallowing Beast" was still reluctantly cold for the time being.

He wasn’t stingy with Duan Zhiyin though, and with a flick of his fingers, he snapped.

Whoosh—!

A gust of yin wind whirled by, and the Auxiliary Judge from the first hall immediately emerged from the ground, bowing to Wang Yuan and Huang Wu.

Those in the courtyard, accompanying Duan Zhiyin like Qingyan, Long Shao, and Xie Yanji, all looked over, seeing a "living" Underworld Judge for the first time.

Wang Yuan gestured to him and asked nonchalantly:

"Check for me, how many years does Duan Zhiyin have in her lifespan."

Zhou Jinghuan’s eyes immediately lit up, understanding that his brother-in-law, the best in the whole world, was about to give a tremendous gift.

The Judge dared not delay, hurriedly flipping through the subsidiary volume of the "Book of Life and Death" and presented a page respectfully to Wang Yuan:

"Reporting to Yama, Duan Zhiyin, birth details: ...; place of origin: Ninghai, Dengzhou Prefecture...; lifespan: to die at twenty-one from overwork and illness."

No sooner had the words fallen than the women in the yard and Zhou Jinghuan at Wang Yuan’s side all turned pale with horror.

They exclaimed incredulously:

"Twenty-one years? Zhiyin is already eighteen this year, only three years left? How is that possible?!"

Although Wang Yuan was somewhat surprised, he maintained his composure and instructed the Judge:

"Ah, on this joyous day, round it up to a nice number for her, shall we?"

"That... thirty?"

Seeing the Judge’s face full of difficulty, who timidly wrote down a line of numbers,

Wang Yuan shook his head, thinking his inexperienced jitteriness was an embarrassment to someone like them who ran a "Yama Palace."

He simply took the pen and added a large "one" in front of it.

It was now a hundred and thirty years!

"All right, let it be so."

Having just dismissed the Auxiliary Judge with a bitter face, unsure how to balance the books at year’s end,

while others were cheering with elation,

Wang Yuan, as if he had just done a trivial small deed, suddenly received a message from the Great Fate:

"Eh? Going south to capture the traitor of ’Dragon Elephant Tao’... Yuan Suifeng?"

Seeing the Tribulation Energy appearing abruptly overhead, his face suddenly changed, "What has this person done?!"
