At this moment, Xu Long poured all his Magic Power into the Celestial Phenomenon, and the boundless energy enveloped his soul.
He was using the vortex to solidify Feng Sihu's soul, preventing it from dissipating into the world.
Although he was born from the Qi Refining stage, his original physical body was a precious raft for cultivators to cross the Sea of Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
If it is unfortunately damaged, it will cause the soul to leave the body, leaving it with nothing to cling to in the world. Over time, it will eventually lead to the dissipation of the soul and the destruction of both body and spirit.
If one wishes to survive in this world again, one must resort to the act of possession.
However, for Feng Sihu, possessing Xu Long was far too difficult.
On the contrary, Xu Long was strong-willed and quickly subdued Feng Sihu. After a period of pressure, Feng Sihu was completely exhausted.
He thought he was about to vanish into nothingness, but Xu Long mysteriously solidified his soul again.
However, the price was that Yunmo no longer existed in the world, and Xu Long had completely replaced him in the Jade Screen Sect School.
As streams of magical Magic Power flowed through the Celestial Phenomenon, the energy within the vortex grew increasingly powerful.
In that deep, dark place, there seemed to be a giant eye, coldly observing the soul below.
The Yun Xu within were also constantly releasing energy, solidifying the souls one by one.
As Xu Long moved according to his own laws, tiny inscriptions appeared within the vortex. With the blessing of the Power of Laws, mysterious energy completely solidified Feng Sihu's soul.
At this moment, however, a surge of emotion welled up in Feng Sihu's heart.
The Power of Laws! This is actually an independent Power of Laws!
What is the origin of this malevolent god, and why does it possess independent Laws of the Heavens?
It should be noted that none of the three Golden Immortal from the Daning Commandery Kingdom have comprehended their own independent laws.
At this moment, Xu Long's every move was imbued with the Power of Laws, and inscriptions even appeared within the vortex.
This is definitely the Laws of the Heavens! And this mysterious energy is also not subject to the restrictions of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Temple within the Earth Realm!
No wonder Xu Long was so bold just now, even suggesting he could be resurrected in his words.
He had initially thought it was just empty boasting, but upon witnessing the Laws of the Heavens, Feng Sihu realized that this fiendish god held more secrets than he had ever imagined.
Recalling Xu Long's many strange behaviors, Feng Sihu was momentarily stunned within the Celestial Phenomenon.
Enveloped by immense energy, his soul had already been fully nurtured and become much more solid, so he no longer needed to worry about dissipating into the world.
At this moment, he seemed to have just woken up, and subconsciously looked into the deep, dark depths of the vortex.
As Xu Long was casting his spell, the giant eye in the deep, dark depths suddenly opened and closed, its gaze meeting Feng Sihu's soul.
The moment their eyes met, Feng Sihu's soul trembled, and a sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.
It seemed that something powerful enough to destroy him instantly was lurking in that deep, dark place.
That chilling gaze pierced his heart like a sharp sword, making him dare not resist any longer.
Xu Long, who was outside the Celestial Phenomenon, was naturally unaware that Feng Sihu had already been greatly frightened by the Earth Eye.
After solidifying his soul, he pondered for a moment and then pulled out a jade tablet from his sleeve.
Then, he gathered his magical Magic Power in his palm, and with his two fingers joined together, he covered the jade tablet with layers of Power of Oblivion, and finally wiped it repeatedly.
The once pristine white jade pendant quickly became dull and dark after being touched by the pure Power of Oblivion.
The patterns on it began to become disordered, and finally, as the Power of Oblivion between Xu Long's two fingers continued to cover it, the dark jade tablet began to look somewhat ghostly.
Seeing that the jade tablet had finally changed, a look of satisfaction appeared in Xu Long.
With a thought, he separated a wisp of his own will into the jade tablet, imbuing the eerie jade tablet with his own will.
He then transmitted his voice to Feng Sihu:
"Your physical body is destroyed. Even if your soul is solidified, you will likely not escape the search of the Origin Will and the torment of the Reincarnation Temple of Heavenly Dao. I have already channeled Yin energy into a spirit tablet; this spirit tablet will be your resting place from now on."
Feng Sihu heard everything clearly within the Celestial Phenomenon. Xu Long's methods were indeed numerous; he completed the Yin Qi Netherworld Tablet in the blink of an eye.
However, with his physical body destroyed, he could only reside in the spirit tablet. But if he were to actually enter the spirit tablet, his life or death would likely be entirely in Xu Long's hands.
But did he still have a choice at this point?
Upon hearing these words, Feng Sihu did not hesitate for a moment. He gathered his soul and turned to leap out from the Celestial Phenomenon.
Then a dark jade tablet could be seen floating in the air, its eerie appearance truly frightening.
Feng Sihu dared not linger between heaven and earth, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and plunge into the spirit tablet.
Strangely enough, after the soul entered the underworld tablet, it felt incredibly comfortable, and the previous sense of crisis of being annihilated was gone.
Feng Sihu thought to himself: This evil god really has some tricks up his sleeve. I will have to use this underworld tablet to hide myself from now on.
With the yin energy within the talisman, one can nurture one's own soul at any time.
Once one has fully transformed into a ghost cultivator, one will be able to enter and leave the underworld for extended periods, free from the suffering of the Reincarnation Temple Heavenly Dao.
However, he also discovered that there was a restriction left by Xu Long inside this underworld tablet, which he could not remove with his current energy.
These restrictions would mean being controlled by Xu Long for all eternity, effectively depriving them of their freedom.
Having been a seasoned veteran in the path of immortality for a time, Feng Sihu instantly suppressed his resentment and respectfully transmitted his voice to Xu Long:
"Ghost cultivator Feng Sihu, your soul has solidified! I greet my master and thank you for your life-saving grace. I, Feng Sihu, will repay you with my life!"
Xu Long slowly withdrew his celestial Celestial Phenomenon, and the starlight and inscriptions in his eyes gradually disappeared.
His two fingers, raised together, remained suspended in the air until Feng Sihu spoke, at which point he slowly withdrew his leaking aura.
After solidifying his soul, Feng Sihu respectfully glanced at Xu Long out of the corner of his eye. He felt that the aura of the cultivator in front of him was as heavy as a mountain.
Whether it was using the Laws of the Heavens to circumvent the Reincarnation Temple Heavenly Dao within the Earth Realm, or Magic Power to activate the Netherworld Tablet, Xu Long did it all with incredible ease.
Feng Sihu naturally knew that while Golden Immortal cultivator could certainly do these things, it would be far more difficult than for Xu Long.
The effortless and confident demeanor he displayed was something that ordinary cultivators could not possibly exhibit.
What a joke! Old Yinbi has at least seen super-powerful beings like the Heaven Patroler Feng Fuxi.
If you can't even imitate their style, how can you show off in all the worlds?
"The underworld talisman can protect your life, but the path of ghost cultivation is not a long-term solution. If we, master and servant, can live in harmony, I will find a cultivator's body to reside in and be reborn with you. If not..."
"Rest assured, Master! Rest assured, Master! From this day forward, Feng Sihu will follow your every command without question!"
Before Xu Long could finish speaking, Feng Sihu hurriedly interrupted him and then frantically pledged his loyalty to Xu Long.
He knew that the evil god was no benevolent person; his words, "if there is discord," meant that he would be annihilated, body and soul.
As Xu Long watched Feng Sihu make his stance clear, his eyes narrowed, making it impossible to guess his true intentions, with only a hint of a smile appearing between his brows.
The purpose of subduing Feng Sihu was merely to obtain his identity, since Feng Sihu was truly annihilated.
The life tablet left inside the Jade Screen Sect School will then shatter, making it somewhat awkward for Xu Long to take his place.
After all, the goal is to greatly expand our influence in this world, and we can no longer engage in short-sighted practices.
Therefore, Xu Long made some concessions when dealing with the forces within the Earth Realm.
Of course, it was also because Feng Sihu was pragmatic and knew when to advance and retreat; otherwise, Xu Long would never have compromised for any person or force!
Now that the spirit tablet had been nurtured, Xu Long instructed him to release his own soul to guard the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field.
In order to impress Xu Long, Feng Sihu nurtured himself within the Netherworld Tablet before emerging into the world.
The sky above the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field suddenly darkened, and the world under the sunlight seemed to have lost its usual color.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the area, both inside and outside the training ground. Ghost cultivators' souls are inherently formless, and shrinking their internal and external forms is merely a basic operation.
After Feng Sihu enveloped the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field, everything inside and outside the dojo was within his field of vision.
Because Xu Long separated a wisp of his will within the underworld tablet, he and Feng Sihu could be said to have reached a state of perfect harmony.
There are several reasons for leaving Feng Sihu behind. After all, without the defensive formation, the dojo will inevitably be targeted after the beast tide passes. His ghostly appearance can serve as a deterrent.
According to Feng Sihu, the output of Spirit Stone in the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field was not low, and after handing them over to the Jade Screen Sect School, there were still 1,000 High-Grade Spirit Stone left.
This is indeed a considerable cultivation resource for an ordinary Earth Immortal; even at the Onefold Immortal Realm, High-Grade Spirit Stone are sufficient for cultivation.
However, for someone like Xu Long, who consumes a lot of Spirit Stone, the Spirit Stone produced in the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field are indeed not enough.
After all, Xu Long and the young man had previously improved their cultivation levels by refining energy cores, so after careful consideration, Xu Long decided to make a trip to the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
It's not just about buying defensive and Spirit-Gathering Array; it's also about seeing what cultivation resources are available in the trading market at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
After instructing Feng Sihu to guard the temple, Xu Long followed the route that Feng Sihu had traced and began his journey to the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
According to Feng Sihu, the Perfected Lord Pinglu was not from Lai Province in the east, but came from the western continent.
After finally settling down at the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary, he had already reached the Late Golden Immortal realm.
No one knows the real name of Perfected Lord Pinglu. Because he has been on the front line of resisting the ferocious beast race for many years, most cultivators respectfully call him Perfected Lord Pinglu.
Within the Earth Realm, Onefold Immortal can be called a True Person.
The Twofold Immortal can be called a True Lord.
Cultivators at the Threefold Immortal are extremely rare. Whether they are Quasi-Saint or Saint Realm, they are all respectfully called Saint.
With the ferocious beast tide gone, Xu Long left Feng Sihu to rest and reorganize the dojo.
After carefully assessing the main force of the beast tide and the tracks of the high-level beasts, he cautiously chose a slightly safer route.
Once outside the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field area, Xu Long discovered that the surrounding mountains were completely barren.
The once lush green grass and misty trees have all withered and perished under the feet of countless ferocious beasts.
Looking out, the world is a vast expanse of white, and listening closely, one can hear the howls of ferocious beasts rising and falling.
There are other Daoist temples around Rotten Peach Mountain, but after the beast tide, it is unknown how many people survived in this world.
The struggle between ferocious beast tribes and cultivators is extremely brutal. In the countless years of resource plundering, both sides have paid a bloody price.
Cultivators consider themselves the most intelligent of all beings and are committed to spreading civilization across the Boundless Wilderness. Driving away ferocious beast tribes is the responsibility of every cultivator.
However, the number of ferocious beasts was still large, and although the Earth Realm had been separated from the Three Realms and thus preserved since the Great Cataclysm, its mountains and rivers had undergone drastic changes.
Countless years after the changes, the cultivators had all fallen into decline, and only the ferocious beast races adapted to this cruel and harsh environment.
Through countless years of reproduction, the territorial consciousness of the ferocious beast race has become deeply ingrained; they have long regarded this world as their own domain.
If cultivators dare to invade or expel them, they will surely face fierce resistance from the ferocious beast clans!
However, in the course of several battles, both sides had already figured out each other's trump cards.
After the Heavenly Palace established a presence in the Earth Realm and subjugated the Saint of the Kyushu, the power of the cultivator faction increased dramatically, giving them a significant advantage when facing ferocious beast tribes.
However, Saint are, after all, transcendent beings, and the gap between them and ordinary cultivators is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
As far as Saint are concerned, as long as a sect of cultivators has not died out, they will never easily take action.
Beast King naturally emerge from among the ferocious beast clans, though they would be offering themselves up as sacrifices to Saint.
However, with their large numbers and scale, they are more than capable of dealing with the dojos of some sects and clans.
The arrival of this beast tide was quite strange. Xu Long gleaned some information from Feng Sihu's words and secretly deduced the connection between the Vast Sea Dragon King and the beasts.
After leaving the area of the dojo, we had completely entered the Boundless Wilderness.
This is a place that cultivators have never explored, a place completely occupied by ferocious beast hordes, where danger could arise at any moment.
Therefore, while Xu Long was sending Vulture King along the way, he also extended his own will ahead to detect any potential dangers in advance.
The clouds beneath the Vulture King dispersed rapidly, its broad wings parting the mist ahead.
The sky within the Earth Realm is like a bottomless abyss, and walking within it inevitably evokes a sense of etherealness.
When Xu Long scanned the area below, he saw only a devastated scene between the mountains and valleys, with a few array flags still remaining on the newly cleared array base.
The original cultivators' dojos were all trampled flat by the ferocious beast tide. The civilization that had been built up here for many years was completely destroyed in a single day.
The ferocious beast clan retaliated against the cultivators in the most brutal way, but Xu Long never saw any trace of the cultivators along the way.
Presumably, some cultivators knew in advance that the tide of ferocious beasts was too great to resist, so they simply stopped resisting and retreated directly.
As for other cultivators with strong personalities, they are probably already gone without a trace.
As the white clouds flashed past beneath him, Xu Long's vision grew increasingly blurry, as if some enormous creature was floating above his head.
The air currents from beyond the sky were completely covered below, causing some clouds to be compressed and thickened.
After sensing something amiss, Xu Long channeled his will towards the heavens. By the time his will swept across the sky, the amiss had completely vanished.
The "whoosh" sound came from his will, Xu Long's brows furrowed suddenly. He thought to himself: What speed!
Still unaware of what had happened, Xu Long subconsciously pressed down on the clouds atop the Vulture King.
After a loud whooshing sound, the thick fog that had been in front of us was completely blown away by a hurricane.
