Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 296 - 277: Ancient Divine Spirit, Mysterious Foe Arrives

In Anqing State, the Yinling Mountain rises among the twelve earthly branches, where the Jia Wood Array is established.

The Jia Wood is Yang Wood, with a fierce nature. Unlike other Spirit Mountains that can nurture spirit medicine and produce spiritual materials, Yinling Mountain is rugged with strange rocks and overgrown with deadwood. However, its spiritual energy can clear the ears and eyes, and make the divine soul transparent, so there are many academies and military camps here, and both the Earth Pavilion and Profound Pavilion have training bases.

Compared to other states, perhaps because it was once the center of the previous dynasty and then suffered a great calamity, the people of Anqing State are more peaceful and indifferent, not very enthusiastic about commerce, but schools are open everywhere.

Amidst the raging thunderstorm, the few cities on the plain are dotted with lights, yet even the patrolling troops have not noticed the anomaly here.

The former princess of the Ghost Rong Kingdom, Shaman Saintess Manzudia, lies in the mud, her breath weakening, and the divine statue in her hand undergoes a mutation.

The divine statue has three heads and six arms, a third eye on its forehead, dressed in splendid armor, its ribbons fluttering, with a green face and fangs, appearing ferocious and menacing.

A flash of lightning illuminates the scene, the eyes of the statue rotating to survey the surroundings. Then, a stream of yellow smoke is exhaled from its nostrils, from which a faint shadow slowly emerges, identical to the statue with three heads and six arms.

He looks up at the sky, a trace of confusion in his eyes. Then, he spreads his palms, letting rainwater pass through them, opening his mouth with an ancient and distant voice.

"How many years has it been? I never thought there would be a day of escape, yet the Immortal Dynasty has become nothing but dust… Hmm, why is the spiritual energy of the Mortal World so plentiful?"

Suddenly, he is startled, recoiling back into the statue wrapped in yellow smoke, his gaze becoming vacant as if nothing had occurred.

Buzz!

A burst of dazzling light erupts, as the Divine Court Bell suddenly appears above, followed by the majestic and dignified Golden Body Dharma Statue of Tai Shi, first surveying the surroundings then focusing its gaze on the divine statue.

"Come out!"

The solemn voice echoed across heaven and earth.

The statue remains motionless.

Tai Shi's gaze remains indifferent, waving his hand casually. The dark clouds in the sky churn and form a vortex, the Divine Land Array activates, ready to suppress.

It is said that although Tai Shi has an independent mind, he was conceived from Zhang Kui's divine soul during his birth, being upright and uncompromising. Moreover, having control over the Divine Land Array, Zhang Kui felt assured to leave it behind.

What many do not know is that the Divine Land Array gathers all the spiritual energy of the world, all within Tai Shi's control. Any slight disturbance in the energy is detected, let alone such a major commotion as the opening of an Underworld passage.

"Fellow Daoist, calm down…"

The divine spirit within the statue, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, finally reveals itself, first glancing at the sky with a look of doubt in his eyes, then slightly cupping his hands, "Infinite Immortal Dynasty Celestial Essence Star Eastern Continent's Demon Suppression Marshal Fusheng greets the fellow Daoist. Now, all I am is a single remnant soul, and cannot withstand this Heaven and Earth Spirit Array."

"Infinite Immortal Dynasty…"

Tai Shi ceased his actions, puzzled in his heart, though his gaze remained as calm as a still lake.

Before the formation of the Divine Land Array, he followed Zhang Kui for many years, learning much of the mysteries of the world. During this time, the Profound Pavilion has been excavating the Ancient Secret Realms everywhere, compiling some materials, but he has never heard of an "Infinite Immortal Dynasty."

However, in linking some information, a guess formed in his mind, leaving him uncertain on how to proceed.

Fusheng, the name of this divine spirit, seeing Tai Shi's silence, awkwardly chuckles, "The Infinite Immortal Dynasty is a past affair, it's understandable if the fellow Daoist is unaware. May I ask which Immortal King currently rules this Star Realm?"

Tai Shi remained silent.

Fusheng felt even more awkward, while a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

He saw Tai Shi easily commanding the Heaven and Earth Spirit Array, a means only possessed by a major power, but more importantly, the Underworld was left ungoverned, chaotic and in disarray; it almost cost him his life escaping by borrowing the hand of a human woman. Truly strange and peculiar…

Yet he did not know that Zhang Kui's Divine Land Array was inspired to form a simplified version, resulting in the two having extreme asymmetry of information, leaving nothing left to discuss.

At this moment, Tai Shi turned his attention to the unconscious Manzudia. He recognized the woman and immediately deduced Fusheng's origins. His mind moved, and suddenly two golden talismanic virtual shadows condense out of thin air and gently landed on the Shaman Saintess.

Zhang Kui's Seventy-Two Demonic Talisman Skill originated from his past life, exhibiting formidable power when combined with divine power, becoming the main means of the human True God.

One was a Disease-removal Talisman and the other a Nourishing Essence Talisman. Under the effects of the two divine talismans, Manzudia's injuries instantly stabilized. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"What wondrous divine talismans…"

Fusheng, the ancient divine spirit, watched in astonishment.

He naturally understood talisman skills, but such divine talismans not only utilized the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but also skillfully exerted divine power, clearly a first-class inheritance.

The current Immortal Court seems extraordinary…

The misunderstanding evidently deepened, but Tai Shi was too weary to explain. In the distance, storm clouds rolled, and two Sea Eye Mahayana stationed here had already arrived.

On the ground, the former Crown Prince of the Ghost Rong Kingdom, now General Bolder of Anqing State, was riding against the wind and rain, excitement evident on his face…

Fusheng, this ancient divine spirit of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, wore an awkward expression and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"

Tai Shi lifted an eyelid, "This is the territory of the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty. You entered without permission, you'd better explain yourself…"

...

"What?!"

At the Nanji Hall of the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Helian Boxiong and Elder Huayan were stunned by this sudden news.

An Ancient Immortal Court's divine spirit, retaining a conscious divine soul, returning from the Underworld.

What does this imply?

It could be an opportunity because he knows of that lost history, the truth hidden in the mist may soon be unraveled.

Of course, it could also be an omen of disaster, as the current Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty is still too immature and evidently cannot withstand turmoil.

The two understood the gravity of the situation, immediately arranged their plans, and rushed overnight to Anqing State.
