Zhou Yihang was split in half by a sword, and the severed parts of his body were full of countless fleshy buds dancing in the air, as if trying to find his other half and reconnect himself.

However, his undying body was based on the Mud Pill Secret Treasure. At this moment, even the Mud Pill Secret Treasure inside his body was split open by Xu Ying's sword, and his vitality was cut off, and his undying body was instantly broken.

His severed body wriggled for a moment, and the fleshy buds lost their vitality, falling to the ground like dead earthworms.

This was the world-shocking sword that Xu Ying comprehended in front of the temple gate. He had been trapped by his cultivation level before and had been unable to fully unleash the power of this sword.

Until now, he had entered the first stage of the Qi Gathering period, and Da Zhong was no longer stealing his elemental energy. This was the first time he had fully unleashed the power of this move!

This sword was just and upright, powerful, and split the sword energy that leaked out when he killed Zhou Yihang into four towering trees with 38,400 leaves in total, and a few strands of grass.

"This sword technique is called Breaking the Barrier." Xu Ying dissipated the sword energy and thought to himself.

Nearly half of his elemental energy was squandered by this sword, so he immediately retreated carefully and whispered to Yuan Qi, "Let's go!"

He sensed that the situation was not quite right. Apart from Governor Zhou Heng, there seemed to be others staring at him with great interest.

Yuan Qi rushed to a floating boulder, then curled up his body and bounced again, landing on another boulder more than ten feet away.

Xu Ying's gaze fell on Governor Zhou Heng. He slowly retreated and suddenly turned around, leaping onto a floating boulder.

He sprinted on this boulder, and with a sudden burst of force on the last step, he leaped into the air!

Under Xu Ying's feet was a height of ten thousand feet. The figure of the young man flew across the sky, landing on another boulder more than ten feet away with a thud.

After rolling a few times to dissipate the impact, Xu Ying bounced up, sprinted again, leaped into the air again, and jumped to another boulder in the sky.

Governor Zhou Heng looked at Xu Ying's back. He was on this fairy mountain, while Xu Ying was on another fairy mountain, too far away. But with his cultivation level, this distance was not a problem.

He was about to make a move when he suddenly saw another figure and had to hold back.

"Ling Tongjian, he's here too!"

He looked at Ling Tongjian, who was tall and thin like a weak scholar, but was surrounded by a strong aura of incense, surrounding him from front to back.

In the halo behind him, there was a scroll and an iron pen floating.

This person was the Yongzhou Prefect Ling Tongjian.

In the Yin Court, the god who presided over a county was called the City God, who lived in the temple and presided over the spirits of a county. The god who presided over a state was called the Prefect, who lived in the prefecture and presided over the spirits of a state.

Xue City God was responsible for the spirits of the Lingling area, while Ling Tongjian was his immediate superior, in charge of the spirits of the Yongzhou area.

Ling Tongjian's name was Ling Youdao, and he was a highly skilled cultivator who competed with Governor Zhou Heng.

Governor Zhou Heng narrowed his small eyes and said, "Although Zhou Yihang opened the Mud Pill Secret Treasure to the second level, he is just an illegitimate child of my Zhou family and cannot access the true inheritance. Even if he dies, it's a waste. However, even if it's not the true inheritance, the Nuo technique of my Zhou family is still extraordinary. It seems that Xu Ying is indeed a genius who can decipher demon techniques! He has probably found the way after the Qi Gathering period."As soon as he spoke, the two ox demons pulling the cart stood up and looked at Xu Ying.

For monsters like them, the Qi Gathering period was the pinnacle of their lives. If someone could really break through the Qi Gathering period, it would be a great favor to the demon race!

Zhou Heng looked up at the large temple floating among the mountains, a smile appearing on his chubby face. "Military Judge, lead your men to capture him alive. If you can't take him down, drive him into the temple. I will go to the temple and meet with Ling Judge on the way."

The Military Judge, Zhou Zheng, who was also a member of the Zhou family, bowed and said, "My lord, what if we encounter Yin Court gods on the way?"

Zhou Heng's playful expression disappeared, and his face turned cold. "This invasion of the underworld is the first to hit my Yongzhou. I'm afraid it's related to Yin Court and He Lingyoudao! If those gods obstruct us, kill them without mercy!"

Zhou Zheng bowed and led his guards away.

On the other side, Ling Judge also looked at Zhou Heng and gave some instructions to his city gods. The city gods immediately led the powerful gods among them and left.

There were few people left around Ling Judge and Governor Zhou Heng. Ling Judge smiled slightly at Zhou Heng and suddenly stepped forward, landing in the sky.

The incense qi under his feet turned into clouds, lifting his body so that he wouldn't fall from the sky.

Ling Judge walked forward step by step, with clouds and mist forming under his feet, and he walked towards the temple at a leisurely pace.

"Flying through the clouds and riding the mist? Just a small technique in magic."

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, propping himself up with his throne and rolling the fat water ball on his belly. He got off the carriage with difficulty and came to the edge of the mountain, where there was endless sky below.

Zhou Heng walked past, ignoring the view. A golden-winged peng appeared behind him, fat and large, flapping its wings and flying, while Zhou Heng walked in the air.

"The Zhou family's 36 Tian Gang Hidden Scenery Technique?"

Ling Judge raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Governor Zhou, how many levels have you cultivated in the 36 Tian Gang Hidden Scenery Technique?"

Zhou Heng chuckled. "You'll know if you try it."

Xu Ying turned his head and saw a group of guards from Governor Zhou Heng's side chasing after them. Some of them practiced martial arts, while others practiced Nuo arts, each with their own strengths.

Among them, those who practiced Nuo arts used the Green Vine Technique to see the green vines grow rapidly, connecting the floating boulders in the air.

The boulders formed a long ribbon between the mountains as if they were colliding with each other in the sky. By connecting these boulders with green vines, they could form a bridge for people to cross quickly.

The guards' speed increased greatly, and they quickly approached.

At this moment, Xu Ying saw another group of people chasing after them, but they were heading in a different direction.

"They're gods!"

Xu Ying recognized their tall figures and the ribbons formed by the incense qi. He knew where they came from. However, he had never seen these gods before, but from their attire, there were at least four city gods among them!

Da Zhong was puzzled. "Ah Ying, something's not right. You're just a small Qi Gathering cultivator, a normal person who practices demon arts. Why do they value you so much? Where did you learn the Taiyi Guiding Technique?"Xu Ying ran forward, leaped towards another giant rock, and said, "I don't remember when I learned the guidance technique, I just know that I have this skill in my mind since I was young."

Da Zhong asked, "Think about it, when did you remember this skill? What happened that day?"

Xu Ying tried to recall and memories of his childhood in Xujiaping came up in his mind. He remembered his parents, his playmates, and the uncles and aunts on the street. He smiled happily.

Suddenly, he remembered the street he saw at Wangxiangtai, the young private tutor and the gentle woman. Although he couldn't recall their faces, they were definitely not the same as Xu Zhigang and Liu Sanniang.

He felt a headache and suddenly hit his head hard, groaning and his eyes turned red.

Yuan Qi rushed forward, jumped from one suspended rock to another, and noticed that Xu Ying did not follow. He turned back and saw Xu Ying falling from the air, hitting his head with his fists.

Yuan Qi was worried and rushed to the edge of the boulder to look down. He saw Xu Ying falling at a high speed and hitting his head. Suddenly, Da Zhong flew out from behind and caught him.

Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Ying's falling speed was too fast, and Da Zhong was pressed down. Yuan Qi was afraid that they would both fall, but Da Zhong managed to stabilize the situation with his strength.

Xu Ying woke up and was surprised to find himself on the bell. He did not remember what happened.

Da Zhong noticed that something was wrong with Xu Ying's brain and thought that something extraordinary must have happened to him.

Xu Ying rode on the bell and was afraid that Da Zhong would shake him off. Da Zhong complained that he was too heavy and asked Xu Ying to carry him instead. They argued and almost fell off the bell.Da Zhong flew with great effort. After a moment, Xu Ying climbed up carefully and stood on the nose of the clock, his legs trembling slightly but standing firmly against the wind.

"What's wrong with you?" Da Zhong asked in confusion.

Xu Ying stood on the nose of the clock, and the young man looked somewhat elegant while flying in mid-air with some trembling hands.

"It's not pretty to ride on the clock. I want to try to stand and fly. It feels better this way."

Xu Ying whispered, "I've been trying to fly by standing on a sword recently. I'm afraid of flying too high, so I'll practice on you first."

Da Zhong said, "I thought you needed to relieve yourself. Just let me know when you need to go. Don't pee against the wind."

Just then, Xu Ying saw a divine dragon flying towards them. It was a set of four stone dragons, and when their feet lifted, clouds rose beneath them, supporting their bodies.

The four stone dragons stepped on the green smoke cloud and chased after Da Zhong.

Xu Ying frowned. His cultivation was less than fifty percent, and he was powerless to deal with the four stone dragons while riding on Da Zhong.

"Lord Clock, go to the fairy mountain below!" Xu Ying exclaimed urgently.

A towering fairy mountain appeared beneath them, and Da Zhong quickly descended into the mountain. Xu Ying looked down from above and saw many ancient altars hidden in the dense forest of the mountain. Towering statues stood guard beside the altars, like protectors of the altars.

"It's strange. If this is the fairy realm, why are there statues and altars?" Xu Ying wondered. There were no mortal worshipers in the fairy realm, so how could gods be born without the accumulation of incense?

Do immortals worship gods?

In the underworld, the Nai River, and the Looking Back Pavilion, Yuan Tiangang sat in front of his grass hut, breathing and meditating. Then he saw someone walking up the path of the Looking Back Pavilion holding a green paper umbrella.

"This person has appeared again." Yuan Tiangang's eyes flickered.

Since he came here and settled down, he had seen this green paper umbrella dozens of times. Every once in a while, this person would pass by here holding the green paper umbrella.

Yuan Tiangang watched him go, and saw the person with the green paper umbrella arrive at the Nai River Bridge, waiting in line for the Meng Po soup.

"A strange person." Yuan Tiangang withdrew his gaze.

The person waited in line for a long time before finally getting his turn.

Meng Po was about to pour the tea when she saw the person and her hand trembled.

A calm voice came from under the green paper umbrella, "A bowl of tea, with thick soup."

Meng Po poured the tea and couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency, you have been asking for tea quite frequently lately."

The voice under the green paper umbrella sounded somewhat unhappy as he took the tea and said, "Isn't it because your tea is not strong enough? You can't seal that person's memory. Someone above said you're adding water to the soup."

- Sacrificing a Book, Three Kingdoms: Han Xian Di Asks Me to Take the Throne, by He Lang Kuan. (Does this name sound familiar? Yes, he is a bookworm who has been sacrificed by me before. He said he won't be monitored this time. I checked, and he doesn't have any roots left, probably because he has been cut many times before and all his roots have been cut off.)
