Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 780 - 219: Abnormal City God! Familiar Aura!_2
"Speaking of which, why does it seem like every household in the Demon Slaying Province believes in the Dao?" Yun Jiuqing raised such a question, "The inn where we stayed on the road had statues of San Qing. Some street vendors were also selling Daoist items."
Liu Feng replied, "Legend has it that at the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, three terrifying demons and devils wreaked havoc within the dynasty, causing massive death and destruction, to the point where life for the people was impossible. Even the Great Yan Court of the time was powerless against those demons."
"In the end, it was a Daoist Sect master who invited Immortal Gods from the heavens to descend and slay all three demons. Afterwards, the province was named Demon Slaying Province to commemorate the event."
"Since it was a Daoist Sect cultivator who resolved the crisis, the local people are very grateful to the Daoist Sect."
"As time passed, the people of the Demon Slaying Province began to believe in the Dao."
"They firmly believe that the Immortal Gods of the Daoist Sect will protect them."
Yun Jiuqing suddenly understood, "So, the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty encountered a similar situation to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Liu Feng stubbornly argued, "I think there is a difference between what happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty and our situation. The demons and devils that caused trouble in the Great Zhou Dynasty had already invaded the Imperial Palace; whereas the ones in the Great Yan Dynasty never made it into the Imperial Palace."
After all, he was a native of the Great Yan Dynasty, so it was natural for him to be biased towards his own dynasty when speaking.
"There was such a powerful Daoist Sect master in the Great Yan Dynasty?" Xing Fengzi exclaimed, "Truly a reclusive expert."
Having said that, Xing Fengzi played with a fragment of a sacred artifact in his hand, which was a piece of the Tiger Immortal Officer’s sacred artifact.
Feeling the sensation similar to a static electric touch brought by such a sacred artifact fragment.
Xing Fengzi said, "Immortal sacred artifacts are of course incredibly profound. I, a humble Taoist, have been diligently perceiving it for five or six days, and have only grasped some trivial aspects, which might not even count as the fur."
"However, even this insignificant insight has allowed my cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds," Xing Fengzi paused before continuing, "If I continue to progress at this rate... it might not take a few years to reach the stage of Refining Essence into Spirit!"
In Fan Wu’s eyes, Refining Essence into Spirit implies a [Power] attribute of over 30 points.
Xing Fengzi’s current [Power] attribute is only 18, so he has quite a long way to go to reach 30 points of [Power]...
Of course.
With the fragments of an Immortal’s sacred artifact to comprehend, that path would be much shorter.
That’s why even mere fragments of an Immortal’s sacred artifacts can provoke the covetousness of countless people.
For the cultivators of the mortal world...
These are all supreme treasures!!
Even if such a sacred artifact fragment is no larger than a fingernail, it is still a supreme treasure that is hard to come by in a lifetime. If encountered, it is sure to provoke a bloody battle for its possession.
Luckily, they followed Fan Wu, and such sacred artifact fragments are theirs for the asking.
Provided that there is some Immortal Official blind enough to be deemed, by Fan Wu, as a source of Free Attribute Points.
As the group walked and chatted on the official road...
Suddenly.
Sounds of rapid footsteps came from behind them.
When they turned around, they saw a group of dusty common people.
The crowd was enormous, with heads bustling everywhere. More or fewer, they each carried some luggage.
Those with more belongings used donkeys for transport.
And among them... there were even nobles sitting in carriages.
They were all gathered together, apparently heading in the same direction.
And their clothes did not suggest that they were disaster-stricken refugees or rebels wandering around.
It was like a group setting out on a long journey.
Even more surprising... at their forefront, a group of Taoists led the way, with arms full of yellow paper, scattering it as they walked and chanting Daoist scriptures.
Yun Jiuqing, taken aback, asked, "Is this some local custom?"
Liu Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Although the Demon Slaying Province is adjacent to the Great Yan Imperial City, I seldom come here and am not quite sure what they are doing now."
Xing Fengzi muttered, "They seem to be devotees of the Dao, and they are even more sincere than the believers of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Even..." Although Xing Fengzi himself was a member of the Daoist Sect, he chose to speak frankly, "I even get a sense that something is not quite right."
Because in his memory, although there were many Daoist believers, they were not this fanatical, right?
The Incense Guests of his Di Zu Guan were indeed very sincere, but not to this extent.
Could it be that the Daoist Sect of the Great Yan Dynasty... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Is different from that of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Hmm...
That possibility was not out of the question.
After all, local conditions foster local customs.
Suddenly, the crowd behind quickly caught up to Fan Wu and the others. Some Taoists who led the way brightened up at the sight of Xing Fengzi in his Daoist Robe.
