Chapter 96: Assimilating Soul Dao, Mount Tai Prefecture Lord

Currently, the three elders, along with the high-ranking members of the sect, have all been eliminated. Li Mingqi has also lost his backing and can only rely on himself in the future.

Therefore, he becomes even more cautious. Although he carries a large amount of cultivation resources with him, he also possesses one of the sect's three major secret techniques, the "Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique," but he dares not reveal it to anyone.

Even those who follow him, including his trusted subordinates, have no idea what Li Mingqi is capable of. It seems that he is preparing for the future.

After three days of refining, the restriction on the storage ring finally opens, and Zheng Yi allows it to float quietly in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, numerous resources flash from the storage ring and fall in front of him, quickly filling half the room.

This makes Zheng Yi sigh. Even in the cultivation sects and demonic paths, the disparity between individuals is astonishing. Some are born in Rome, while others are born as cattle and horses.

With so many cultivation techniques and manuals, and so much cultivation, Li Mingqi keeps it a secret and even plans to seize the Qijia's industry. Truly, he is insatiable.

In addition, Zheng Yi also discovers a treasure location from Li Mingqi's memories. The most important things are hidden there, which is why Li Mingqi doesn't trust those around him and dares not carry them with him.

He plans to retrieve the treasure alone after the sect's affairs settle down. That place is also the most precious inheritance left by the three elders for their descendants.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Before completely leaving the Assimilating Soul Sect's influence, Li Mingqi dies and his soul is destroyed due to his attempt to seize the Qijia's industry.

Without waiting any longer, Zheng Yi quietly leaves the Qijia and quickly retrieves the treasure according to the information left by Li Mingqi, bringing it back with him.

Firstly, there are over a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. This is the least valuable thing to Zheng Yi because the Qijia sells a large number of soul stones, so they are not lacking in spirit stones. Of course, gaining a large amount of wealth for free is still a happy thing.

Secondly, there are various secret manuals treasured by the Assimilating Soul Sect, mostly spells and techniques, with a few martial arts manuals.

These are the accumulated wealth of the Assimilating Soul Sect over three hundred years. As the only three Foundation Building Stage cultivators in the sect, the three elders have a special status, so it is not difficult for them to plan and obtain a portion of the resources.

These things, placed anywhere, can support the rise of a cultivation family as long as the descendants are ambitious.

Lastly, and most interesting to Zheng Yi, is one of the Assimilating Soul Sect's three major secret techniques, the "Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique." This cultivation technique was unexpectedly obtained by the sect's founding ancestor, Soul-capturing Daoist.

The origin of this cultivation technique is unknown. It is not the most powerful among the sect's three major secret techniques, but it is the oldest and most mysterious.

Because this cultivation technique involves the cultivation of the soul, it is a cultivation method passed down from the ancient Soul Dao.

However, in the past one or two hundred years, Zheng Yi has not heard of any high-ranking members within the Assimilating Soul Sect who are famous for this technique. There must be some restrictions on cultivation.

Carefully flipping through the jade slip of the "Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique," Zheng Yi begins to study it attentively.

After a while, Zheng Yi lets out a breath, but the profound technique circulating in his mind makes him marvel at the great creativity of the ancients.

This profound and mysterious technique is based on the five organs, refining them into five temples, and using the temples to feed the gods. Ultimately, the five elements merge and breakthrough is achieved.

Moreover, this "Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique" is of a high level and can reach the Gold Core stage. This also confirms the rumors about the history of the Assimilating Soul Sect, that the sect's founding ancestor, Soul-capturing Patriarch, was a Gold Core-level expert from another domain.

Lungs correspond to metal, kidneys correspond to water, wood corresponds to the liver, heart corresponds to fire, and spleen corresponds to earth.

The five organs of the human body correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Thus, five different treasures are needed to establish the Foundation Building temples and enshrine the five gods.

However, establishing these temples is not just a matter of imagination. It requires the actual construction of temples and the offering of incense and sacrifices.

In other words, to cultivate this "Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique," one needs to be in contact with the aura of incense and must be immersed in the atmosphere of incense.

"In other words, to cultivate this 'Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique,' one needs to offer incense and prayers. It is necessary to be imbued with the aura of incense," Zheng Yi hesitates for a moment.

It is obvious that this is a technique of the Incense Fire Divine Path.

This kind of cultivation method generally has ancient origins and is not popular in the Great Yi Immortal Domain. Instead, it originated from the Outer Domain.

"It seems that the founder of the Assimilating Soul Sect, Soul-Capturing Ancestor, is indeed a cultivator from the Outer Domain..." Zheng Yi thought to himself.

Praying for incense, gathering believers, this is a path that must be taken in the Incense Fire Way, which is very rare in the Great Yi Immortal Domain.

However, it is said that this practice was once prevalent in the Outer Domain for a period of time, and later spread to the Great Yi Immortal Domain, but it did not cause much of a stir. Very few predecessors have walked this path.

Because this Incense Fire Way has a major drawback.

Although the cultivation is rapid and the path of the divine soul is easy to enter, it only requires enough believers and sufficient incense prayers to obtain a large amount of incense fire power.

In the initial stages, these incense fire powers can support rapid advancement in cultivation and reach a high level.

But as the incense fire power is absorbed, it is not pure energy, but also contains various emotions and prayers of the people. This is a kind of karma, a very terrifying power.

Incense fire is poisonous, this is the first taboo of the divine soul path. Everything in the world is balanced, there is gain and there is loss.

Cultivators of the Incense Fire Divine Path receive the worship of countless incense fires, and cultivate by borrowing the power of wishes. Step by step, their divine souls undergo transformation. However, they are also entangled by karma, and divine cultivators are also influenced by their believers.

On one hand, their temperament changes greatly, and on the other hand, the power of belief is their foundation. Once their beliefs are swept away, they become like floating duckweed without roots, eventually dissipating completely. The power of the path of immortality is far from being the only true power.

In the Great Yi Immortal Domain, there are examples of divine cultivators who explored and ended up being trapped as mountain gods, land gods, river gods, and the like.

Zheng Yi didn't even need to consult the scriptures for these situations. He had heard of them before, and there were annotations in the jade slip of the Five Organs Temple Feeding Gods Technique and the notes of the previous ancestors, indicating that although this cultivation method was extremely mysterious and ancient, it had major flaws.

It can be said that the pros and cons are very obvious, so if future generations want to cultivate, they must be extremely cautious and think it through.

Zheng Yi himself was an expert in manipulating souls and had the most understanding of the path of the divine soul. Therefore, he understood the importance of these warnings.

Everything is interconnected. Although he had never cultivated the Incense Fire Divine Path before, he also understood that the power of belief is a double-edged sword. It can help the divine soul transform, but it also binds the cultivator with karma. Both sides create cause and effect. This is where karma lies. So the fact that incense fire is poisonous is not just empty words. For the gods who absorb incense fire power, this is also the biggest flaw.

This kind of karma is different from killing karma. It is the power of wishes from numerous believers and can reshape the cultivator's divine soul. The longer one cultivates, the more it sprouts like a seed, ultimately polluting the original self.

The cultivator's divine soul is no longer their own, but is reshaped by karma, evolving towards the divine being that the believers expect. The higher the cultivation level, the easier it is for the original intention to fall, and in the end, one is no longer oneself, completely transforming into a different form.

It can be said that the power of incense fire has its pros and cons. If one can remove the impure karma and directly absorb pure wishes, it would definitely be a good method for rapid transformation of the divine soul.

However, up to now, there hasn't been a good method for this. At least in the Great Yi Immortal Domain, it has not appeared. Otherwise, this ancient path of becoming a god through incense fire would have flourished long ago and would not be almost forgotten, stored away, and on the verge of disappearing.

"If the mysterious golden light of the golden seed can purify the 'karma' of incense fire, then?!" Suddenly, a thought came to Zheng Yi's mind. It seemed that he had figured something out.

The golden seed originated from the Doomsday World, and until now, he still hadn't figured out what kind of powerful force it was.

It is similar to the power of merit in the legends of the Great Yi Immortal Domain, but it is not entirely the power of merit.

But one thing can be proven, it is a powerful purifying force that can cleanse the evil energy and karma in the human body, with very significant effects.

This has also been Zheng Yi's trump card for rapid advancement. He is not afraid of the accumulation of evil energy and karma in his body because from the beginning, all the remaining evil energy and karma have been dispersed and disappeared. His body is pure and clear, and his Dao Foundation is stable and solid.

"If we look at it from this perspective, can the golden seed also dispel the poison of incense fire? It should also be able to eliminate the cause and effect karma in belief!" After thinking it over, Zheng Yi was obviously tempted. Although he didn't have a definite answer, it was an instinctive feeling. He instinctively believed that the golden seed hidden in his sea of consciousness should be able to eliminate the poison of incense fire.

If that's the case, then this Five Organs Temple Feeding Gods Technique would be of great help to him. So he decided to give it a try.

Of course, this experiment cannot be conducted in the Immortal Domain of Dayi. Cultivators are not easily fooled, and there is a close connection between mortal dynasties and cultivators. Even behind the dynasties, there are cultivator forces supporting them.

Zheng Yi plans to conduct this experiment in the End of Days world, where everything is already in chaos and can be messed around with.

...

In the End of Days world, the heavens and earth have undergone great changes, and the rules have collapsed. The world is in a state of primitive chaos.

People have long abandoned the beliefs they held before the end of days and are in desperate need of some spiritual support.

Even in the gathering place ruled by Zheng Yi, many residents are working hard to numb themselves because in these hopeless days, they cannot see any hope and lack faith, becoming lost and confused.

People only show a positive attitude when they see hope, and faith is undoubtedly a form of hope.

This is a fertile soil for Zheng Yi's preaching and experiments.

Soon, at the end of a bustling street in the gathering place, a temple was erected, inside of which was enshrined a deity named Taishan Furen, who can ensure safety.

Taishan, one of the Five Sacred Mountains, is on the Blue Star, which does not exist in the End of Days world. However, Zheng Yi borrowed its name. Zheng Yi remembers that there are festivals dedicated to Taishan Furen in many places on the Blue Star.

When the temple opened, it was very lively.

Many high-ranking members of the gathering place came, and even the guards were Blood Warriors in red armor.

As the parasitic bats reproduced faster, more and more people in the gathering place chose to participate in the Integrated Union experiment as Blood Warriors, all in pursuit of a better future and the opportunity to become an ability user who controls blood.

This accelerated the progress of the entire experiment, and more and more powerful Blood Warriors emerged, becoming the mainstream force in the gathering place.

Although the failure rate was quite high, volunteers still flocked to sign up.

With the advancement of experimental technology and the increasing stability of the parasitic bat eggs, the success rate reached about forty percent.

Out of ten people, about four would succeed.

Even so, it couldn't dampen people's enthusiasm. After all, once successful, they would possess abilities. Although it was a unified physical enhancement, speed enhancement, and blood evolution, it was still a leap for ordinary people.

After all, only one in a hundred people who consumed zombie crystals could awaken abilities, but there was a four in ten chance of becoming a Blood Warrior with the Integrated Union parasitic bat eggs.

Moreover, according to some people, even if the success rate was not high, why couldn't they be the successful ones?

Because these bloodline ability users often wore red armor, people habitually referred to them as "Blood Guards" or "Blood Warriors"!

Two rows of elite Blood Warriors stood on both sides, vigilantly maintaining order. Being watched by so many ability users, the ordinary people who entered the temple to worship also became quite restrained.

It was only when they walked into the temple and the gazes behind them disappeared that many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Welcome, believers, to the temple of Taishan Furen. This temple enshrines the great Taishan Furen."

"Legend has it that in the land of life and death, there are five great mountains that suppress the cycle of all things. Among them, Taishan is the leader, and Taishan Furen naturally governs the realms of yin and yang, life and death..."

The middle-aged man with an excited expression was specially selected by Zheng Yi as the temple priest. He could sell anything with his eloquence, even turning the dead into the living.

The power of faith has just begun, and Zheng Yi needs him to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts of everyone in the gathering place.

As for what happens next, that will depend on the seeds taking root and sprouting.

Seeing the enthusiastic work of the temple priest, persuading everyone he meets, Zheng Yi nodded in satisfaction behind the scenes.

Watching the passionate host, he was very pleased.

This person used to be a scammer, relying on his smooth talk to make a living. Now that he has been secretly received by Zheng Yi, he immediately knows that an opportunity has come. He can't wait to prostrate himself on the ground and embrace the unprecedented opportunity to work hard.

Zheng Yi may promise him that as long as he does well, more people will believe in Taishan Fuzhun, and prosperity and wealth are inevitable. He may even be able to ascend to the top in one step and gain true Transcendent power.

After dressing up, this scammer really looks like a so-called expert, perfectly embodying the appearance of a charlatan.

In fact, the true body enshrined in the temple bears Zheng Yi's original imprint, and even this appearance is about seventy to eighty percent similar to him.

However, he has always been shrouded in a black robe and has an illusion technique on the outside, so there are not many people who have truly seen his real face.

He used himself as a prototype to create a statue named "Taishan Fuzhun".

This is also the place where he conducted his first experiment.

"Alright! As the first group of believers, I can tell you a secret!"

The scammer completely assumes the role of a temple priest. In order to deceive others, he must first deceive himself.

This is the highest realm of deception.

Looking at the believers whose emotions have been completely stirred up, as if seeing the scene of countless followers cheering below, the long-lost feeling comes back, and he becomes even more excited.

Staring at the eager eyes below, he slowly speaks.

"That is, as long as you become loyal believers of Taishan Fuzhun, the great Taishan Fuzhun will bestow upon you the courage and qualification to survive in the end times, to become superior beings with powerful abilities."

As he spoke, the middle-aged host waved his right hand, and a phantom appeared beside him.

Everyone fixed their gaze on it, only to find that it was a warrior clad in black armor, exuding a chilling aura from its soul.

For a moment, the crowd couldn't help but whisper, looking at the Yin Soldier, quietly saying.

"That's right!"

After the crowd digested this information, the middle-aged temple priest spoke softly again, "This guardian deity is bestowed upon me by the great Taishan Fuzhun. It possesses the ability to control ghosts."

Boom!

Suddenly, the crowd exploded, but they dared not speak out, they could only discuss quietly in low voices, their faces filled with envy and their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Alright, everyone, follow me in worshiping the great Taishan Fuzhun!"

"As long as your faith is sufficient, as long as your faith is devout, you can also receive the blessings of the great divine Taishan Fuzhun..."

"If Taishan Fuzhun does not respond to your faith, then you must find the reason within yourselves. It must be that your faith is not devout enough..."

The atmosphere had reached its climax. The middle-aged temple priest had long transformed his identity. He truly felt that he was the most loyal believer of Taishan Fuzhun, wishing to die for the deity. Therefore, preaching and leading more suffering people to believe in the deity was only natural.

In the huge temple, all the believers were bustling, kneeling and bowing before the statue.

"Leave professional matters to professionals!"

Zheng Yi, who had been observing from behind the scenes, revealed a slight smile on his face.

Using the ability to control ghosts to attract believers is indeed a very good method. In the end times, what can attract people's attention the most is undoubtedly supernatural abilities.

This is also why Blood Warriors have a sixty percent mortality rate, yet countless people dare to fight desperately and flock to them.

In this chaotic era, those who control their own power are the most envied by everyone.

Many people are not afraid of death, but they fear endless despair.
