Chapter 156: Black Crow God, Activating the Demon-Sealing Tower (Two-in-One Subscription Request)
Hekomu Junichiro summoned a humanoid evil spirit.
And the spider-like evil spirit that Su Ping was fighting against could be more accurately described as a stitched monster from the mythological creatures of the Cherry Blossom Country.
Strictly speaking, any mythological prototype would give a sense of being both true and false.
However, in the face of reality, no one would care about these details.
If something feels wrong, it must be a problem with the recorded information.
Hekomu Junichiro heard the whisper of the fox-faced shrine maiden again.
He quickly commanded a shikigami that appeared to be a large Heavenly Dog but had a crow's head to rush into the sky, and with its hands stretched out, it emitted a faint black light along with its wings.
Ah!
With a crow's cry, it resounded through the sky above Sakura City.
The shikigami summoned by Hekomu Junichiro actually transformed into tens of thousands of black crows.
And these crows were emitting continuously burning black flames.
After another crow's cry.
They rushed towards the palace like a storm, crashing into the body of the large evil spirit.
And with the explosion of the black flame crows on the surface of the evil spirit, the black flames spread all over its body.
The flock of crows in the air seemed to continuously give birth to new black crows.
They maintained this attack, and with the bombardment of the crow flock, the large evil spirit's body collapsed with a loud crash.
This scene was quite magnificent and shocking in terms of special effects.
It could be considered a rare sight!
However, Su Ping knew that if he didn't intervene, the crow shikigami would soon be lifted up and beaten by the large spider below!
After all, one was an enhanced product with increased strength.
The other was only a semi-finished product that still needed to rely on a large amount of faith power to be nurtured and grow slowly.
The ultimate move looked cool, but unfortunately, it was not practical yet!
Fortunately, he was present and could control the situation!
Roar!
The large evil spirit, caught off guard, angrily emerged its head from its body, which had been blown into a muddy mess.
A gray-white light appeared on its head, easily blocking the black flames produced by the self-destruction of the surrounding black crows.
Then, just as the eyes of this head emitted white light and prepared to counterattack, a golden light fell and shattered this big head.
At the same time, with a gentle wave of the fox-faced shrine maiden's hand in the air.
Several purple fox charms mixed in with the flock of crows and entered the body of the evil spirit in the muddy mess on the ground.
After successfully summoning inside its body, the power of thunder was used.
Suddenly, the large evil spirit, which had been thrown off balance, had no more resistance and became a target for the crow flock's attack.
The people outside didn't know the trick inside.
All they could see was that the humanoid crow shikigami summoned by Hekomu Junichiro began to take action.
Originally, the monster that was going back and forth with the fox-faced shrine maiden was directly suppressed and beaten.
And this time, the self-recovery ability of those rotten mud monsters was obviously limited.
Several seconds passed, but they couldn't grow their heads and arms back.
What does this mean? It means that Master Yin & Yang's shikigami can indeed restrain the regenerative ability of these monsters, right?
They thought to themselves.
Soon, they saw the crows suddenly stop crashing and instead open their sharp beaks. After emitting a piercing cry, including the ones in the air, they all rushed forward and instantly filled the palace.
They began to feast on the fallen evil spirits and rotten mud.
In just a few tens of seconds, the black crow flock that covered the palace flew up and merged in the air, forming a three-meter-tall humanoid shikigami with a crow's head and wings.
Then, this shikigami turned into a black light and entered He Maojunyi's body.
Su Ping glanced at the devastated palace and controlled the fox-faced shrine maiden to fly in front of He Maojunyi.
Although he had the ghostly body, it was a good vessel for the incense god.
But it was obviously too much of a strain to have two incense gods enter the body in such a short time.
The crow shikigami ate the rotten mud but did not really eliminate the large-scale evil spirit.
It only sealed the large-scale evil spirit that had been beaten and temporarily unable to resist in its own container.
That's why it instinctively returned to He Maojunyi's body in the end.
If no one intervened... when Su Ping removed the Spiritual Qi formation, it would be uncomfortable for a while, and then it would be fine.
But how could Su Ping ignore it?
He had put in a lot of effort for these incense gods to be born!
He reminded He Maojunyi of his current terrible state in the identity of the fox-faced shrine maiden.
Seeing the other party in such distress that he couldn't speak and could only seek help with his eyes.
The fox-faced shrine maiden chuckled lightly and enveloped He Maojunyi with Divine Sense.
Immediately, the spider-like evil spirit that had been compressed and condensed into the size of a glass bead was extracted and wrapped in Divine Sense before being put into the sleeve.
Then, after reminding He Maojunyi to kneel down and thank him a few times, just like Tathagata, the fox-faced shrine maiden disappeared in the park.
Su Ping couldn't wait to see if the Demon Sealing Tower could seal this kind of incense god.
After the great battle, a light rain fell from the sky.
As the rain fell, the officials of Sakura City rushed in after confirming that the Transcendent battle seemed to be over and that it seemed like they had won.
They quickly began various rescue operations.
On He Maojunyi's side, several ministers and generals came running with humble smiles.
Ignoring the bone-chilling coldness around He Maojunyi, they eagerly asked what the esteemed Yin & Yang Master needed.
He Maojunyi naturally had a request.
He sat on the ground and silently recovered his energy. After feeling a little better, he looked up.
His eyes flashed with a black light because of the crow shikigami, causing the several ministers who were looking at him to feel a chill and directly freeze in the rain, unable to move.
Fortunately, He Maojunyi noticed and quickly retracted his power, allowing those ministers to sit on the ground and not be able to stand up.
But they dare not complain to the mastermind behind all this.
"My shikigami is called the Black Crow God."
"It is the Martial Sage who drives away evil and demons."
"Help me recruit shrine priests and priestesses from all over."
"I want its shrine to be established in every region."
"My Koma clan will also become the clan of the Black Crow God from now on!"
Koma Junichiro's voice was slow.
The ministers and generals were also equipped with recording devices.
As a result, the important figures who were still sober and the high-ranking priests in the safe house nearby could hear clearly.
Naturally, the important figures supported this.
After all, Koma Junichiro had already demonstrated his abilities as a Yin & Yang practitioner.
As for the losses this time... wasn't it the work of bad people?
To avoid suffering greater losses in the future, shouldn't they support Koma Junichiro more vigorously?
Of course, after doing all this, it was only right to privately inquire about accepting disciples and learning Yin & Yang techniques or other arts.
And if they could establish contact with the fox-faced priestess who obviously possessed even greater supernatural power through Koma Junichiro, that would be even better!
The high-ranking priests, however, had pale faces one by one.
They had anticipated this moment, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.
When Koma Junichiro's shrine was built, it was obvious that both the reputation and the benefits allocated from above would mostly be taken by him.
How could they be willing to accept this?
After all, when it came to orthodoxy... their history was even longer!
"Ah, ancestors, why didn't you leave us anything?"
"Could it be that the deities we worship and believe in do not exist? Or perhaps they don't need us, and it was just our ancestors' wishful thinking?"
"No, this is impossible!"
"It must be a problem with the talents of our descendants. We must find someone with extraordinary talent belonging to our clan!"
The high-ranking priests each had their own thoughts.
Fortunately, the important figures did not make things difficult for them.
In fact, if possible, these important figures also hoped for a second or third Koma Junichiro.
Only when there were more transcendent individuals could they display their best skills.
Instead of the current situation, where they obediently served Koma Junichiro like... servants!
To be honest, these people did not like or were not accustomed to this feeling.
On the internet, as the information gradually spread, especially after the exposed ruined palace, it suddenly became popular.
Many skeptics had to admit that this matter was quite significant.
Spiritual Qi has revived, and theories such as the invasion of the Otherworld have also gained popularity. This has caused various communities to descend into chaos.
In this state, a recruitment notice from the Sakura Capital has been circulated, immediately sparking a heated discussion.
The Sakura Capital is recruiting priests and shrine maidens.
Similar to many other shrines, part-time positions are available, and experienced individuals are welcome to join.
What has caught attention is the compensation and the deities they will serve.
The compensation is nearly two to three times higher than that of other shrines!
It is also said that there will be a monthly test, and passing it will result in a generous bonus!
Furthermore, the deity in question is a black crow god that many people have not heard of.
There are rumors that this deity is the shikigami of Kamo Junichiro, a Yin & Yang master.
As a result, the priests and shrine maidens competing for these positions in the Sakura Capital have gone almost insane!
The recruitment team has also increased in size as a result.
To the point where people from outside the Sakura Capital are curious and asking if outsiders can apply for these positions.
...
Inside the Grotto-Heaven.
Su Ping doesn't care about these follow-ups, as there are professionals to handle these troublesome matters.
After returning to the Grotto-Heaven, he headed to the Demon Sealing Tower.
After entering the first floor...
Su Ping took out the cursed object that had been shrunk into a glass bead.
The first floor of the tower immediately emitted a faint white light.
The cursed object flew up and entered a prison cell on the first floor.
Soon, the cursed object returned to its original form.
However, it had transformed into a small cursed object, only half a meter tall, inside the prison cell.
Its appearance remained the same, with the upper body of a human and the lower body resembling a spider.
It tried to escape, but as soon as it left the center of the prison cell, pale chains appeared, preventing its movement.
At the same time, Su Ping could see that energy was continuously being extracted from the cursed object and absorbed into the Demon Sealing Tower, becoming one of its energy sources.
The information flow also updated.
[First-order demon sealed: 1]
[Current charging efficiency: 1]
[Estimated chance of summoning a random holy beast phantom every 100 hours.]
[Current accumulated summoning count: (0/4)]
"So, cursed objects or incense gods can be sealed demons?"
"Finally, this special building has been activated."
"The holy beast phantoms should be the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu, right?"
"At least they are holy beasts. Even if they are just phantoms or have other limitations, they should have many uses, right?"
"As for the number of sealed demons..."
"With the Ghostly Body, I can slowly fill up this Demon Tower!"
"I will continue to upgrade in the future."
"Perhaps one day, I can directly summon the true Four Holy Beasts to guard my home?"
Su Ping fantasized about the future for a while, then resumed his serious cultivation.
Personal strength is still very important!
Jiuye Mountain Market.
The Eastern steward brought back more than ten demon women for the master.
These were all entrusted to trusted subordinates by him, and he personally went to purchase them.
After all, he couldn't trust anyone other than himself.
Su Ping, still in the identity of White Crane True Immortal, summoned this sensible Eastern steward as usual.
After a few words of encouragement, Su Ping gave him a bottle of Medicine Pill as a reward.
Then he looked at the demon women this time.
Among the twelve demon women, there were two snake women, three cat women, and seven rabbit women.
It seems that the rabbit women have the strongest reproductive ability in the Western Desert.
However!
Su Ping frowned slightly and used the Spirit Mouse Vision combined with Divine Sense.
He discovered that two of the rabbit women also had black evil energy on them!
With the release of Supernatural Power, Su Ping took the two scarves with evil energy in his hands.
As he inquired, he learned that these items had been worn since they came from the Western Desert.
There were simple cleansing arrays on them.
"The Western Desert?"
"That's right, the invasion of evil energy affects the entire Immortal World!"
"The Central Domain is more severe, but other places are not immune either."
"But, I don't know when and where these items were contaminated with evil energy."
"If it's from the Western Desert, it's fine. But if it's from this side... it means that another market that a certain merchant caravan passed through is going to have problems again?"
Su Ping was somewhat worried about this, so he put all these new demon women into the Grotto-Heaven.
This way, even if there were any tricks, they would no longer be in the same world, and naturally they couldn't be targeted!
Then Su Ping wrote a letter to Little Mu, the True Immortal of Yunshan Market, informing him that he had inadvertently discovered the presence of evil objects on the demon women through Divine Sense and the Bixie treasure. He hoped that they would pay attention to it.
Three days later...
Su Ping had just returned from the Grotto-Heaven, feeling a bit frustrated because all the spirit rice he had planted in the one-acre field he opened up in the Grotto-Heaven months ago had died.
After carefully examining the spirit rice seeds, he also discovered the reason for his planting failure.
It seemed that he had used too much fertilizer?
Of course, he blamed himself for being careless and letting Baihe Boy take care of it according to the rules.
After all, Baihe Boy was just a puppet, strictly following the procedures, and as a result, the spirit rice seeds couldn't withstand it and all died before harvest.
But it didn't matter, failure is the mother of success!
After summarizing his experience, he could always find a way to combine science and cultivation in farming.
At least according to the previous records.
Fertilizer improved the fertility of the land, combined with the rich Spiritual Qi in the Grotto-Heaven, indeed accelerated the growth of the spirit rice seeds.
So Su Ping found a book on spirit plant cultivation and leisurely read it while adjusting his mindset during his cultivation.
He received a reply from Little Mu, the True Immortal of Yunshan Market.
According to Little Mu, not only he, but many Foundation Establishment cultivators who bought the goods also knew about the presence of evil energy on the demon women.
It even alarmed a Gold Core cultivator who pursued them.
Then the truth was quickly revealed.
It turned out that a high-ranking steward of the Western Desert merchant caravan believed in an evil Buddha and took advantage of his authority to make the demon women pray during the voyage.
However, these demon women had incomplete souls, so even if they worshipped the evil Buddha, they couldn't receive blessings.
It was just that in that environment, a few demon women were contaminated with a small amount of evil energy that was almost indistinguishable.
The high-ranking steward was said to have been killed on the spot!
Then the leader of the merchant caravan apologized and the fleet was sailing back to Yunshan Market.
They promised that all the demon women sold could be returned, and they were willing to compensate double.
"Another evil Buddha?"
Su Ping naturally had no intention of profiting from this compensation.
What interested him more was the evil Buddha mentioned in the letter.
Afterwards, he returned to the Grotto-Heaven and summoned the twelve demon women.
After careful questioning, when he asked if they worshipped the evil Buddha, Su Ping, as the master of the Grotto-Heaven, sensed a slight invisible fluctuation from the two rabbit women after they seemed to have triggered a keyword.
But this was the Grotto-Heaven, and this fluctuation couldn't connect to what it should have.
It just dissipated without a trace.
At the same time, Su Ping also heard another version of the story from the two rabbit women.
It was the leader of the merchant caravan who made them pray, not the high-ranking steward.
"What a guy!"
Su Ping immediately knew that something was going to happen in Yunshan Market again!
And according to the speed of the fleet, they should be arriving at Yunshan Market around the time he received the reply.
So... Su Ping quickly returned to the Immortal World.
And appeared in Jiuye Mountain Market.
Su Ping noticed that the sky in the distance was blood red.
Vaguely, he could see golden lights flying from various directions towards that blood red place.
Su Ping was considering whether or not to let the memory illusion go there as well.
Suddenly, he heard the warning sounds of the spirit mice.
He quickly closed his eyes and contacted the group of mice scattered in the Golden Sparrow City area.
Su Ping was slightly startled, but he saw hundreds of Demonic Beasts forming a formation and heading in the direction of the cloud mountain market, led by a white-haired giant ape that was at least thirty meters tall.
Moreover, more than a dozen Demonic Beasts were separated, with one small group heading towards the Golden Sparrow City and another small group rushing towards the Jiuye Mountain market!
"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Mountains are also in trouble?"
"Otherwise, how did so many Demonic Beasts leak out?"
Su Ping's face became serious.
Fortunately, at this time, a crane quickly flew to Jiuye Mountain and dropped a Jade Slip.
Su Ping knew that this was a sound transmission Jade Slip. As soon as his Divine Sense came out, he received it in his hand and began to read it after confirming its authenticity.
Immediately, he learned that this was an urgent message from Little Mu Zhenren.
There were problems with the Western Desert fleet, with most of the crew members turning into evil spirits, and there were also Demonic Cultivators suspected to be from the Black Abyss Sect cooperating in control.
They were attacking the cloud mountain market from both inside and outside!
Little Mu Zhenren urgently hoped that the Foundation Establishment cultivators who received the message could rush to the rescue, and there would be great gratitude afterwards!
Then another crane flew down and also dropped a Jade Slip before leaving.
Su Ping saw the style of the Jade Slip and knew that it was from a sect.
Sure enough, it was a sect's report.
The content was very short, but the matter was significant.
Just one sentence: The spatial imprisonment array in the Ten Thousand Mountains went wrong, and some Demonic Beasts were teleported to the rear!
"How coincidental? And this kind of teleportation must not be cheap, but it's understandable."
"Demonic Beasts may not necessarily have an alliance with the evil spirits."
"But this doesn't prevent the leaders among these Demonic Beasts from taking advantage of the situation!"
"However, even in the Immortal World, Demonic Beasts are still fighting against the human race."
"Could it be that the Demonic Beasts are not afraid of the evil spirits?"
Su Ping knew that this was naturally impossible.
There were also many Demonic Beasts possessed by evil spirits.
However, the blood feud between the two sides, which had lasted for ten thousand years, obviously hadn't reached the point of extermination.
Neither side dared to stop in advance!
And whether it was the Demonic Beasts or the cultivators, they were both in an awkward state of being leaderless.
On one side, there were so many Demonic Beast tribes, and on the other side, there were so many sects, big and small.
Everyone was in a state where no one's words counted.
Shaking hands and negotiating? Easier said than done!
It's better to take advantage of the frequent battles now, continuously gain strength, and live until the end to seize an opportunity!
Demonic Beasts are attacking.
Naturally, Su Ping must first deal with the troublemakers from his own family.
With a sigh, Su Ping summoned the exorcist Yun Kong and asked him to bring weapons to the vicinity of the Golden Sparrow City.
With the modern weapons in his bag, dealing with those Qi Refining stage Demonic Beasts should be more than enough.
As for himself, he went down the mountain and directly confronted the incoming Demonic Beasts squad a hundred miles away.
This Demonic Beasts squad dared to come to the Jiuye Mountain market.
Naturally, the one leading them was a Foundation Establishment stage monster.
This monster was a black bull with a single horn.
It was ten meters long and covered in specially made heavy armor magical items.
Regarding this, Su Ping was not polite. First, he had the illusion of the White Crane Boy, who had transformed into the real White Crane Immortal, appear on the official road to attract the opponent's attention.
Then, he used his true body hidden in the dense forest to unleash his supernatural power, releasing the technique of one hundred and twenty rocket launchers!
To express his intentions!
The rockets turned the ground ahead into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye!
Although it didn't inflict heavy damage on the black bull monster, as it managed to dodge most of the rockets that came from multiple directions, it was only slightly burned by the residual explosion, causing minimal damage.
However, the helpers it brought, more than ten Qi Refining stage tiger, leopard, and bear monsters, were all roasted to death by this volley.
Before the flames had dissipated, a fragrance spread in the surroundings.
"You despicable and shameless human cultivators...!"
The black bull monster, Monster Qi, roared furiously and rushed towards the illusion of the White Crane Immortal's memory.
In its instinct for battle, the memory illusion with condensed fist intent was undoubtedly more dangerous!
Just as it reached the memory illusion, it was wondering why the other party didn't dodge.
Soon, in an instant ten meters away from the opponent, it discovered that this person suddenly threw a punch.
And this punch actually contained the power of supernatural power!
While it caused a slight headache, it had to pause for a moment and step on the ground with its hooves.
The large number of landmines that had already been set up were immediately manually detonated by Su Ping!
There was a loud bang!
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, capable of blowing up a main battle tank.
It also caused the black bull monster to fall in front of the memory illusion.
It also noticed that the aura of the memory illusion was quickly wilting after throwing a punch.
This is... a death warrior?
The black bull monster was confused.
It then noticed that the cultivator's supernatural power, Dharma Phase, hidden on the side, appeared again!
This time, the opponent did not use that strange-looking weapon that the black bull monster was confident would not work on it for a second time.
Instead, it condensed into a golden iron fist and smashed down from the sky!
Today's chapter is a bit long, so the update is late, please forgive me.
