Mangshan hesitated for a moment.

So far, Li Wuxian has not shown any characteristics related to her past life; on the contrary, she seems more "indulgent" in her current identity. Of course, the Qin Xin stage is not yet at the point of awakening one's past life, and special methods are needed to guide her.

He intentionally sent Ba Dan, who was proficient in the art of time and space, not only because he thought Badan could deal with Qin Yi, but also mainly for this matter.

As a result, that idiot Ba Dan, blinded by greed, actually showed Li Wuxian a love story while Qin Yi was away...

That would be of no use to Mangshan's objective, and the goal could be said to have made no progress whatsoever.

The other project, which involved Qin Yi raising Taotie (a mythical beast), is progressing very quickly, exceeding the scope of the Witch God Sect's plans.

After all, no matter how rich Qin Yi was, Spirit Stone and treasures couldn't fill an empty stomach, and raising even a single Huiyang spirit was quite difficult. However, the greed surrounding them was simply too great, a veritable breeding ground for gluttony, where a single bite could instantly produce a Huiyang spirit, causing their numbers to surge rapidly.

Mangshan seriously doubted whether the situation would continue like this. Taotie would soon return to its peak, and whether the sect leader could still control it...

Now that Qin Yi is going to the grasslands to wipe out the sect, isn't that a clear indication of his intentions? Should the Witch God Sect intervene?

Seeing that Qin Yi had already launched the airship and disappeared into the distance with Li Qingjun, Mangshan shook his head and also sent a message to the sect using Secret Method.

Not long after, Zuo Qingtian's feedback arrived. "Qin Yi's actions, though seemingly arrogant, are actually backed by the Central Lands Daoist tradition, with the struggle for humanity as the priority. Although we are not part of the Central Lands Daoist tradition, we have no connection with the Western Regions. On the contrary, we ourselves are plotting to become the Human Emperor, so why should we act as pawns for the Saga Temple? Let's continue to plan and observe Li Wuxian's past life; we don't need to concern ourselves with anything else."

The talisman was burned down on Mount Mang, and he pondered silently.

That suited his wishes, which is why he didn't bother to stand up for Ba Dan.

However, even after peering into Li Wuxian's past life, they couldn't discern the secrets of Ba Dan's Technique Method, so other methods were really hard to consider... Different sects and schools are proficient in different things, otherwise why would they be divided into different schools? Even if their Witch God Sect had the Formless One, they might not be able to compare with Ba Dan in this regard. Even if they wanted to learn his Technique Method, it might conflict with their cultivation and be unsuitable.

After thinking for a moment, Mangshan decided to follow Qin Yi's airship.

In any case, let's do some research on the Technique Method of Sakya Monastery and see what happens.

On the airship, Liusu was cursing Taotie: "The conversion rate is too low. Even after eating three, you still can't break through the Qian Yuan Kan. I even let you eat them."

"Your conversion rate is even lower, it's practically useless," Taotie said, sticking out its neck. "These are what I'm supposed to eat."

"Oh, so now you can? Who told you this is something you're entitled to eat?"

"With so many people watching, and you too afraid to show your face, what I swallowed was naturally what I ate!"

Liusu was furious. "You just opened your mouth, do you really think you've done anything?"

The Black Fur Ball was pulled over and first kneaded into the shape of a toilet, then into the shape of a dung spoon.

Qin Yi finally interjected, "My Great Staff is certainly wary of many things and can't easily take action, and you're in a similar situation... Once this matter is over, you'd better stay out of the spotlight, otherwise it will really look like I'm letting Taotie eat people, and my reputation will be ruined."

The gluttonous beast, now shaped like a pile of poop, managed to utter, "Hypocritical."

Actually, it's still quite uncomfortable with the fact that Liusu is called "my My Great Staff" but doesn't react at all...

Qin Yi said helplessly, "This isn't a question of whether it's real or fake. You have to follow the rules of where you make a living. What kind of behavior is it to walk around with a Taotie in front of all the sects in the Divine Continent? If someone comes to your door to exorcise demons, you'll have nowhere to reason with them."

"So you still need me to intimidate the enemy?"

Li Qingjun grinned, revealing her neat white teeth. "This is a national war, it's different in nature."

Taotie: "..."

I always feel that this family is particularly shameless, but what can I do if I can't argue with them?

Liusu suddenly asked, "Did you get Ba Dan's soul magic after you ate him? His soul magic seems quite interesting."

"Compared to that one, we're nothing but a small fry," a gluttonous creature lazily lay on the bow of the ship. "It's meaningless. Ba Dan is too limiting. You can't possibly analyze that person's Divine Ability from here."

The Liusu stared at it coldly.

Taotie shuddered, then "bang!" transformed back into a sphere, quickly forcing a smile, "Of course, you don't need to analyze anything to flatten it."

"I'm only asking you whether you have the ability to acquire Ba Dan?"

"Yes, some of them," Taotie immediately pledged his loyalty. "Soul Return, Dream Entry, and some rudimentary time- Secret Method. Which one do you want?"

Qin Yi asked curiously, "So you really gain abilities from whatever you devour? Then wouldn't you be able to do anything?"

"Please, do you think I can swallow your... Liusu? That's a huge limitation."

Liusu was too lazy to joke with it and said indifferently, "Condense the dream entry and those time-related Secret Method. Use what you can, and forget about what you can't."

Taotie said, "I want him..."

A punch landed with a "bang".

The Taotie lay there pitifully.

Li Qingjun laughed and stroked its black fur to comfort it, "Good boy, we won't be stingy with that flower when the time comes."

"You said it." Taotie sniffed pitifully, opened its mouth wide, and spat out lines of mysterious golden characters that swirled in the air like golden brocade.

Qin Yi looked up at the text, lost in thought.

Based on the Creation Golden Chapter, it seems to be very powerful in terms of compatibility. So far, I have not encountered anything that I cannot learn. I wonder if there will be any conflicts if I learn demonic or witchcraft methods.

Maybe not. The Creation Golden Chapter is too high-level. The so-called origin is the source from which all laws are evolved. What incompatibility could there be?

Qin Yi was engrossed in studying, while Li Qingjun sighed helplessly beside him.

Martial Cultivation may be enjoyable for a while, but these Profound Scriptures and mysterious techniques are truly impossible to learn; one is just a large-scale spearman. No wonder those monks and Daoists all say that Martial Cultivation don't know these profound techniques, displaying a high level of contempt.

Forget it, so what if they don't want to learn? Once they've mastered the same sharp swordsmanship as their master, then they can come and ask them if they're convinced.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye aboard the airship.

Qin Yi realized that the world was damn big.

The map of China that you usually imagine in your mind is not suitable; it's several times inaccurate.

Previously, when Li Wuxian personally led an expedition to Xiliang, it took him more than a month to travel light. This was because Dragon Abyss City was located in the northwest. It was similar to setting out from Chang'an to conquer Tianshui, even though the distance was not far, it still took more than a month to travel.

Going to the Northwest Grasslands would be even further.

First, they had to cross the entire Liang Province before heading northwest into the vast grasslands. However, these so-called grasslands were not inhabited from the very beginning. Qin Yi's airship had been flying over the grasslands for a whole day before he had only seen a few small tribes.

By the time we saw the so-called Sakya Monastery, we had already spent seven days on the airship, counting from the time we set off.

"The airship needs an upgrade; it's still at the speed of the Cloud Ascension stage." Qin Yi sighed, stowed the airship, and swooped down like a cannonball.

Don't be fooled by his tourist-like appearance on the street; he really is here to wipe out an entire family.

The previous Miao Di of Heavenly Thunder Temple, and the lame Daoist priest, whether they wanted to spread the Dharma or take on disciples, hadn't broken any taboos. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them. Theoretically speaking, Miao Di's starting point was quite noble; spreading the Dharma was for the sake of the orthodox lineage, and his personal desires were relatively less prominent.

But Ba Dan even resorted to Mental Spell, his purpose clear: to create Cauldron. This truly crossed the line.

If this sect isn't completely wiped out, Li Wuxian will face more trouble in the future. And they are the perfect targets to be used as a warning to others.

"Boom!"

Two streams of Gang Qi, one from Wolf Tooth Club and the other from a silver spear, one fierce and the other sharp, simultaneously struck the Mountain Protection Array of Sakya Monastery from the left and right.

Sakya Monastery was thrown into chaos.

Many lamas ran out, some even hurriedly pulling up their trousers.

In such a short time, they didn't even know that their Living Buddha was in trouble, and they had no idea what was going on with this ominous star appearing out of nowhere.

Someone recognized Qin Yi and exclaimed in shock, "It's Qin Yi! Could it be the Living Buddha...?"

Qin Yi's gaze swept over the lamas pulling up their trousers and the woman hiding behind the door, and he shook his head speechlessly. "Another Great Joy Temple. Why do I always have a run of bad luck with these kinds of sects? Is it because I'm too promiscuous, and they're my natural enemies...?"
