"My lord, something has happened at the Azure Dragon Gate!"
Shen Qi came to deliver the message. Chen Qing had been sitting in the VIP section of the Vermilion Bird Gate, seemingly showing absolutely no interest in the Azure Dragon Gate.
Shen Qi was quite curious, because he really couldn't understand how a little guy with no Spirit Energy fluctuations could guard the Azure Dragon Gate.
The Celestial Master assigned him to guard one of the Four Saints ' positions. If someone else were to evade the candidate's qualification, wouldn't the Celestial Master Mansion lose face? Leaving aside face, the Celestial Master Mansion's promises alone would be problematic. Sects like the White Tiger Gate and the Black Tortoise Gate, with top disciples of the Celestial Master Mansion's Mansion guarding them, naturally only a few could pass. Sects like the Azure Dragon Gate, with many applicants, would have to fulfill their promises. Shen Qi was very curious whether the Celestial Master would be willing to do so.
There must have been a design, so he was very curious about what the design of the Celestial Master Mansion was like.

"What could have made Seventh Master Shen so flustered?" Chen Qing asked slowly.
"The contestants from the Azure Dragon Gate." Shen Qi recalled what he had just seen, and even though he had experienced quite a few storms, he was still somewhat emotional at this moment.
They're all dead!
"Oh?" Chen Qing nodded. " Zhang Xiaoyun killed him?"
"Your Majesty, you already knew?" Shen Qi was taken aback.
He remembered that he hadn't left the Thousand-Eye Technique here.
"Just a guess," Chen Qing laughed. "Even a fool would know that the Celestial Master Mansion wouldn't send out so many Four Saints Guard. The fact that they dared to send Zhang Xiaoyun to guard the gate must have been part of a plan. And no plan is more reliable than Zhang Xiaoyun being powerful enough on his own."
"But Zhang Xiaoyun showed no signs of aggression. What do you think he's using to hide his strength, Master?" Shen Qi asked Chen Qing curiously.
He had seen the scene clearly; to describe it as horrific would be an understatement. It was a crushing massacre. In Shen Qi's opinion, Zhang Xiaoyun's performance today was already very close to Ao Zhen's level.
But Ao Zhen is a figure second only to the Dragon King Level!
"Perhaps... it wasn't hidden at all." Chen Qing said quietly, "Haven't you heard of a kind of magic called shamanism in your sorcerer family records?"
"Shamans?" Shen Qi frowned upon hearing this. "You mean those shamans who use Divine Descent Technique?"
He had certainly heard of this before, and had even seen it quite often. It was nothing more than some pathetic people who worshipped those inexplicable evil gods and exchanged their bodies for power. Most of them were just people who lacked the talent of a sorcerer and were tempted by something, losing countless things in exchange for a pitiful bit of power.
In his view, it couldn't even be called heresy; it was something only a fool would touch.
The power gained through shamanic Divine Descent Technique is temporary. The body is lent to those unknown evil gods, and the next time one wants power, one still has to pray. The power is not one's own, but the price paid, even the price of battle, is borne by oneself. In his view, there is nothing more foolish in the world.
"More or less," Chen Qing said with a smile, "Except it's a bit more authentic than the stuff you've recorded."
"There's an authentic version of this stuff?" Shen Qi asked, amused.
"Of course there are," Chen Qing laughed. "Those demons or evil spirits disguised as wild gods are naturally heretical, but what if they are righteous gods?"
"Those similar to those bestowed by the Lord?"
"That's different." Chen Qing shook his head. "Much of your power as sorcerers comes from the powerful resentment of demons, which is not much different from that of shamans. The only difference is that you use the power of those demonic spirits, while they use the demons themselves."
"This..." Shen Qi was completely unsettled. He frowned and said, "How could such a thing be? The vengeful spirit itself? What kind of immense power does that possess? For it to descend upon a mortal, could that mortal withstand it?"
They are sorcerers who use the power of demons and vengeful spirits. There are countless sorcerers in the world who use the same spells, but they only borrow a small portion of the power. Even so, the burden generated by some powerful spells can affect the bodies of even the strongest sorcerers.
Directly allowing vengeful spirits to possess you?
How is that possible?
In his view, the so-called ancient times are nothing compared to those magical vengeful spirits. Ancient books clearly record that the vengeful spirits that can create magical spells in the world were all demons that could destroy the world and were terrifying beings that even the Yin-Yang Road could not remove.
Their spiritual bodies are so powerful that even after hundreds of millions of years, their existence cannot be taken away from this world.
Such a thing, falling upon a person? It's like all the water from the four seas concentrating on a single ant—it's simply impossible.
"As long as the body is suitable, it is indeed possible," Chen Qing sighed and said calmly.
This kind of thing shouldn't exist in the first place!
Until yesterday, Chen Qing had never imagined that Zhang Xiaofan would be a shaman, because this profession had been removed by his own decision during the open beta!
This is a special class created by the company to attract big spenders. Only by spending enough money can you unlock this talent class. Unlike warlocks who slowly accumulate spiritual power, you can instantly possess extremely powerful strength as long as you find the right shikigami. In the second version, the era of Spiritual Energy Revival, the expansion of personal abilities is extremely exaggerated.
Because at that time, shamans could find many vengeful spirits that were originally on the verge of extinction but became active again due to the Spiritual Energy Revival, thus forming a contract with them and making them hosts, and their power could cross several levels at once.
Chen Qing opposed this character at several major meetings. Due to his strong demands and the numerous objections from players, the company eventually canceled it. In other words, after the public beta, there was no longer a proper Shaman class.
Chen Qing realized this when she saw the Xiaopang come over to say hello this morning.
When Zhang Xiaoyun arrived, although there was still no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body, Chen Qing realized that the magnetic field of the entire surrounding area was fluctuating significantly.
This situation only occurs when a powerful spirit is present in the vicinity, which is when he began to suspect it.
Now that Shen Qi had come to say that the Azure Dragon Gate had been completely wiped out, he was even more convinced of his guess.
"Your body is suitable?" Shen Qi frowned and said, "But I've never heard of such a thing. Could it be that this kind of thing only appears after the Earth Spirit Revival?"
Even after the Earth Spirit Revival, there won't be any more.
Chen Qing shook his head. Actually, this kind of thing existed before the Earth Spirit Revival, but the objects that could be summoned were very few, and they were mostly evil spirits from other paths. However, because of the special constitution of shamans, evil spirits could exert their greatest strength on shamans, so they did not have to pay such a high price as ordinary people, and their strength would be relatively stronger.
But I've never heard of such a thing before.
Ziyue's death will instantly refresh the game, and she will also forget the memories of her death. Zhang Xiaoyun possesses a version of the profession that should not exist in the original game, and Zhang Xiaoyun clearly knows Ziyue. The same goes for the ancient Flying Jiangshi refining technique of the Azure Dragon Gate, which forcibly binds the spirit body to the zombie's body. This method can create monsters that are almost immortal, and it was also content that was originally deleted.
This Celestial Master Mansion is getting more and more interesting.
Chen Qing didn't believe that these things originally existed in this world, because if they did, secret techniques like the Flying Jiangshi Soul Sealing Technique would have been used by the major families long ago. Those old guys would rather become monsters like that in the Dragon Palace, enduring millions of years of cold and loneliness. If they had the Flying Jiangshi Technique, they probably would have used it on themselves long ago.
One or two things that didn't exist before appeared in this world.
So, who exactly were the people of the Celestial Master Mansion —or rather, that group from the Warlock Dynasty back then?
