Reciting Scriptures

Only if the Hu Mang returns to its hometown and obtains a large transport Law Artifact can it be towed away.

So even knowing the importance of this thing, Hu Mang and Old Chen Sheng could only stare helplessly.

Chen Sheng patted the surface of the Lightning Puppet and sighed.

"Actually, the most precious thing about this item is not its materials, but the cluster of Innate Acupoints within its body." If these Innate Acupoints could be simulated, even an ordinary person could possess innate divine power.

"However, to study it, it must be disassembled, and once disassembled, I'm afraid that apart from the master craftsmen of the Jade Firmament Divine Dynasty back then, no one will be able to put it back together."

Innate Acupoints?

Hu Mang's heart stirred upon hearing this.

It seems that I know a doctor who is very good at studying acupoints.

Moreover, modern medical technology also offers numerous methods of light irradiation that can avoid disassembly and allow for direct research.

But how do I explain this after I get it back?

He said he dug it up while digging a grave?

Moreover, given how valuable this thing is, if it were discovered by the relevant authorities, wouldn't I have to hand it over?

Hu Mang felt increasingly constrained in Heavenly Gate and began to consider going overseas again after the Demon-Subduing City incident ended and he returned to Earth Star.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. We're not here to move this anyway."

"Get to work, get to work."

Soon, the two began standard civil engineering work, first activating the [Spirit Vein Scanner] to create layered images of all spiritual energy pipes within a hundred-meter radius of the core of the eye—precisely marking the diameter of the old spiritual tubes, locations of blockages, and nodes of spiritual energy turbulence.

Weak pressure-bearing sections and ineffective branch pipelines.

Then, three-dimensional engineering drawings of the Spirit Path are generated to determine the precise coordinates of rerouting, interception, widening, and sealing.

Next, new spiritual energy channels are inserted, spiritual pressure is adjusted, and the spiritual energy route is adjusted to where needed.

Fortunately, this formation was completely undefended against the two of them, and Hu Mang's Heavenly Eye was like having a full-map cheat.

Soon, a long pipeline was pulled out and dragged to the landmark that Hu Mang wanted, where the first spirit electricity converter would be installed in a few days.

"To achieve the effect you desire, the best place to channel spiritual energy is not underground, but in the sky, especially after the spiritual energy converter you mentioned starts operating. All the power of the Thunder Eyes will connect with the thunderclouds in the city within a short time. You only need to appear at our designated location and then ride this cloud. This is the least burdensome form of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man for you."

After working up a good sweat, Old Chen Sheng calculated the directions again before speaking to Hu Mang.

Hu Mang nodded. In fact, even above artificial blessed lands, there are still a lot of Spiritual Qi clouds left over. In some core business districts, the Spiritual Qi can even liquefy.

Unless the Heavenly Gate's Void Spiritual Qi conduit technology achieves a breakthrough, these are all normal phenomena in blessed lands.

It's said that it was even worse before, when there was no breakthrough in the purification technology of spiritual energy, and there were too many impurities in the spiritual energy. At that time, the sky was always gray.

Fortunately, this is just a rerouting of the local Thunder Net, not a real construction of a grotto or a dwelling for immortals, so the amount of work has been reduced by 99%.

"Let's go to the next place, before those two groups can react."

"Hey, those people probably still think we're hiding in that tortoise shell in the Tempering Treasury, quietly waiting for the battle to end. They never imagined we'd be sneaking around causing trouble."

Thinking of this, Old Chen became smug again.

Hu Mang nodded, about to say something, when suddenly the Heavenly Soldier Divine Office shone brightly. The next moment, a divine light and lightning shadow reappeared deep in Hu Mang's pupils. At the same time, this god seemed to leap out of the Niwan Palace and fly straight away.

The "Shattering Thunder" in Hu Mang's hand suddenly lit up, and at the same time, the Demon-Subduing Divine Runes on his forehead emerged. The two forces clashed for a moment, and finally, the divine light and lightning gradually disappeared from Hu Mang's eyes.

Old Chen's expression also turned serious.

"What's up?"

"A new Thunder God has been born, and he must summon all the remnants of the divine dynasty in the city."

"What will happen if I don't go?" Old Chen got straight to the point.

"He'll most likely be stripped of his divine authority," Hu Mang sneered. "He's really just a weasel Seeking a Verbal Bestowal, taking himself too seriously. A false god who hasn't been officially recognized by the divine dynasty, does he really think he's the leader of this place?"

"Don't underestimate him; he's someone who can even shatter the physical bodies of a direct disciple of a righteous sect."

Old Chen, however, was not so optimistic. He frowned and thought for a moment.

"Why don't you go back first? I'll take care of the rest. You and Zhou Yu can work together. Even if they really want to strip you of your divine authority, the two of you together are not without power to resist. As long as we can stall for a few days, those disciples from the major sects will definitely take action."

Although Old Chen agreed to Hu Mang's arrangement, he still wanted the righteous path to be at the forefront.

Instead of immediately becoming the chicken that needs to be established as a leader.

Hu Mang thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'll take you to the two places where demons are suppressed first, and I also want to test just how powerful the Thunder God's methods really are."

More importantly, there are four Tribulation Eye in the Demon-Subduing City. He has only devoured two of them, and there are still two left for him to devour.

If we don't seize it now, we might miss this opportunity once the real battle begins.

Old Chen hesitated, but eventually shut up. After all, he wasn't the one taking the risk; if others weren't worried about the risks, why should he say anything?

After the wiring was adjusted, the two quickly left the area, and a flash of cold light disappeared from the gun hole between Lightning Puppet's eyebrows.

An hour later, at the largest Thunder God's Shrine in Demon-Subduing City.

As darkness fell, the strange aura emanating from the ancestral hall could not be concealed.

In front of the ancestral hall, five bronze statues guarding against evil spirits stand on the left and right, with blue faces, fangs, and wide-open, angry eyes, their faces ferocious and menacing, as if they are about to pounce down from their bases and devour people at any moment.

Above the lintel, the lightning patterns that had long since faded and become almost indistinguishable were undergoing a strange change—the lightning patterns were slowly lighting up.

At first, it was just a faint glow.

But as time went on, the light grew stronger and brighter, gradually turning from a pale silvery-white to a dazzling blazing white, illuminating the entire facade of the ancestral hall as if it were daytime.

Every stroke of the lightning pattern is clearly visible, as if someone is using lightning as ink to redraw these ancient runes.

The light shone on the blue faces of the five bronze statues of the demon-suppressing guardians, making their already ferocious appearance even more sinister and terrifying, as if they had come to life.

One after another, figures radiating divine light emerged from the streets and alleys in different directions, converging in front of the ancestral hall.

More and more figures appeared, soon reaching more than ten.

It seems that after being wiped out by that Devil-Slaying Bladesman, quite a few new clergy have recently been promoted.

However, these "remnants of the Divine Dynasty" were clearly divided into two groups.

The group on the left were all imbued with lightning and shadow, with tiny arcs of electricity flickering and dancing on their clothes as they moved. Their brows revealed an irrepressible excitement and fervor.

When their eyes met, they nodded to each other, as if some shared expectation was approaching.

Among them stood He Chang had previously gone missing.

However, compared to the previous half of his face with green fangs, He Chang now has a complete face with green fangs; his fangs protrude from his green face, and his eyes glow with a ghostly green light, making him look particularly ferocious and terrifying in the night.

He walked at the front of the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were confident about what was about to happen.

As for the other group, they were somewhat uneasy. Many whispered among themselves, and several lagged far behind at the back of the line, clearly planning to run away if anything went wrong.

What these officials had in common was that none of them were subordinate officials of the Thunder Ministry.

Although the Jade Firmament Divine Dynasty imitated the Heavenly Court of the Upper Realm, it also established eight departments of divine officials, including those responsible for wind, rain, thunder, lightning, water, fire, plague, and fighting.

However, considering the origins of that "Jade Emperor," the Thunder Ministry Department alone is equivalent to the combined strength of the other seven departments.

The divine authority held by the Thunder Official naturally surpasses that of the other departments.

Within this Demon-Subduing City, the four great divine officials— the Devil-Slaying Bladesman, the Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier, the Prison-Subduing Official, and the Thunder Official— Thunder Official only one position, but among the mid-level divine officials, the Thunder God lineage remains the mainstream.

By the time nearly thirty priests had gathered sparsely in front of the Thunder God's Shrine, the five bronze statues used to suppress evil spirits were already blazing with lightning.

Blinding electric light surged and flowed through every line on the bronze statue's surface, illuminating the entire area in front of the ancestral hall in a ghastly white light.

The terrifying aura of lightning spread out as if it were a tangible force, causing everyone present to hold their breath, and even the sound of the wind seemed to stand still for a moment.

Having intimidated everyone, He Chang slowly walked out from the crowd of Thunder God's lineage. His face, with its blue face and fangs, was now completely embedded in his flesh. His bloodshot eyes swept over the remnants of the Divine Dynasty present, and he finally spoke slowly.

"Gentlemen, I won't waste any more words. You all hold divine positions here, and you should have some understanding of the Jade Firmament Divine Dynasty of the past, and the righteous and demonic paths of today. You should know that the two sides are irreconcilable enemies, and that it is a matter of life and death for each other."

"As for you yourselves, in the outside world, you are nothing more than mediocre, struggling Rogue Cultivator, with no way to rise above and unwilling to fall below. You are even more subservient to some old ghosts from other sects, fearing that one day you will be captured and made into Routou."

"But now that you've arrived here and inherited the position of priest, I, He Chang, ask you all, which of those old devils from the side sects would dare to lay a hand on you?"

"As for your own strength, in the outside world, whether it's the Three Flowers or the Five Qi, who among you has condensed even one of them? But as long as you combine with a divine office, it's equivalent to automatically comprehending the Flower of Spirit." In addition, with the various divine office abilities, the weaker ones can already be considered to have mastered the inheritance of a small sect. If they are stronger, they can't compare to the inheritances of the righteous and demonic paths, let alone the inheritances of those great Xuanmen sects.

As soon as the words were spoken, the discussion intensified, and applause erupted.

"Good, good, well said. I, the Buddha, love those who chant sutras well. I also love chanting sutras, but unfortunately, not many people like to listen, so after a sutra lecture, very few of the congregation survive."

"I wonder how many of those present today will survive after you finish chanting the sutras."
