The Plum Tree Dies in Place of the Peach

The basic effects of the Dao Field are also very simple: suppress the enemy, amplify yourself, and block your retreat.

Suppress enemies up to three times your size, weaken enemies up to five times your size, amplify your own physical strength and skills by two times, and unless you are ten times stronger, you cannot break through the Dao Field's blockade from within.

In other words, once inside the Grandfather Three Temple, Grandfather Huang Three can defeat enemies no more than three times stronger, and can put up a fight against those no more than five times stronger. Those no more than ten times stronger have no chance of escape.

As for someone like Yin Yunze, who is weaker than Grandfather Huang Three, if he were to possess Fox Immortal in a normal way, he probably wouldn't even be able to escape the part of his soul that was possessed.

Of course, the Dao Field is not without its flaws.

The first drawback is that maintaining the above effects requires the consumption of Power of Incense Offerings.

The stronger the enemy, the more Power of Incense Offerings is required.

If faced with an enemy ten times stronger, most Incense God wouldn't choose to fight to the death, but rather apologize and beg for mercy.

After all, if the Power of Incense Offerings is truly exhausted, one will die an undignified death.

The second drawback is that the Dao Field is static and cannot exist outside of the temple complex.

As long as you don't enter the Dao Field, even the strongest effects won't affect you.

This is why Grandfather Huang Three tried every means to get Yin Yunze into Grandfather Three Temple.

Because once Yin Yunze enters the Grandfather Three Temple, Grandfather Huang Three can open the Dao Field and close off the escape route.

Once trapped and beaten, if Yin Yunze doesn't want to be killed by that Mad Grandfather Three, he will have no choice but to follow Grandfather Huang Three's plan and eliminate the mad body first. Then Zhao Wan, along with Yin Yunze himself, will become Grandfather Huang Three's second-stage target.

However, Yin Yunze was far more cautious than Grandfather Huang Three had imagined, and he did not enter Grandfather Three Temple on either occasion.

Furthermore, there are methods to bypass the temple's magical defenses and directly destroy the Grandfather Three Temple from a physical perspective.

Even after being cut off, the connection between Grandfather Huang Three and the golden statue in the temple was not severed; otherwise, he would not have been able to use the Earth Vein Power, a method employed by the Land God.

With the destruction of the temple's golden statue, Grandfather Huang Three's scheme completely failed.

The biggest backlash was that the poisonous incense and resentment returned to him.

With Yin Yunze taking advantage of this opportunity to kill the rational part of Grandfather Huang Three, all of Grandfather Huang Three's plans came to naught.

The four high walls, and the appearance of the Mad Grandfather Three behind them, launched a relentless attack on Yin Yunze. It was also because the Grandfather Huang Three was unwilling to accept defeat and took his anger out on Yin Yunze. With his last bit of strength, he wanted to drag Yin Yunze down with him.

However, even Grandfather Huang Three hadn't expected that Yin Yunze had the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag as a trump card. In the end, even his crazed true form was destroyed.

In the end, the initial arrangement of the Divine Transformation Rank actually benefited Yin Yunze.

After understanding the cause and effect, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a little sad.

If this Grandfather Huang Three hadn't been greedy, and had explained things clearly, giving Yin Yunze enough benefits and time to prepare...

After careful consideration, Yin Yunze might actually be willing to help him out.

Because if the sole objective is to kill Mad Grandfather Three, it would be safer and easier to do it outside of Grandfather Three Temple.

Unfortunately, blinded by greed, Grandfather Huang Three's actions, though seemingly rational, were in fact a failure to act properly.

Heaven gave Grandfather Huang Three a chance to make amends, but he didn't cherish it and instead harbored evil intentions.

He was only focused on achieving his goal in one fell swoop, killing three birds with one stone, but in the end, he met his demise.

However, after reviewing all the information left by Grandfather Huang Three, Yin Yunze discovered...

In Grandfather Huang Three's memory, there was no plan to arrange for Upper Creek Village to join forces with Lower Creek Village to attack Clear Creek Village.

Grandfather Huang Three, who was struggling to save himself and was busy trying to salvage his plan, was completely unaware of Yin Yunze's existence.

This time, Yin Yunze's visit to Upper Creek Village was a completely unexpected surprise for Grandfather Huang Three.

Actually, thinking about it, even if Grandfather Huang Three really knew about Yin Yunze's existence in Clear Creek Village, he wouldn't have plotted against Yin Yunze.

As Land God, both Grandfather Huang Three and Yin Yunze were well aware of how irrational it was to trespass on each other's territory.

Judging by his own standards, Grandfather Huang Three would never have imagined that Yin Yunze would run away from the safe Clear Creek Village to Upper Creek Village to seek his death.

Even if he genuinely sought help, Grandfather Huang Three would have used the method of building relationships, rather than this method of coming to cause trouble.

After all, before discovering Zhao Wan's unusual behavior, Grandfather Huang Three's only thought was to ask Yin Yunze for help.

Making a mental note of this, Yin Yunze put it aside for the time being and began to focus on experiencing the effects of the Upper Creek Village Land God Divinity.

First, there was Grandfather Huang Three's meticulous preparation, and then there was Mystic Lightning's exorcism to cleanse the impurities of this divine status.

It can be said that the divine status that Yin Yunze received was much purer than that bestowed by ordinary Incense God.

As easily as drinking water, without any hindrance, Yin Yunze inherited the overly pure divine nature of the Upper Creek Village Land God Divinity.

Then, Yin Yunze felt the same powerful feeling as when he controlled the Land God of Clear Creek Village.

The entire land seemed to be whispering the arrival of Yin Yunze, this new god.

What Yin Yunze recently noticed through the power of the Land God was the Earth Vein Power of Upper Creek Village, which was almost twice that of Clear Creek Village, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which was almost three times greater.

In fact, the reason why the Earth Vein Power is only twice that of the other four is because Grandfather Huang Three had previously expended a large amount of Earth Vein Power to erect these four high walls. The existence of these four earthen walls consumed nearly a quarter of the Earth Vein Power.

Speaking of these four high walls, Yin Yunze quickly sensed through the Earth Vein Power that hundreds of villagers had already gathered outside the walls.

At this moment, the villagers of Upper Creek Village, oblivious to the danger, gathered around these walls, discussing amongst themselves. Judging from their laughing and talking, they didn't seem to care at all, simply watching the spectacle.

Some of the bolder young people even grabbed the protrusions on the earthen wall and started climbing.

Yin Yunze was somewhat speechless at these people who were so eager to watch the spectacle and risk their lives.

After some thought, Yin Yunze decided not to remove the four high walls. It would be good to temporarily block these people's view, and Yin Yunze could finish up the matter here first.

After spending some more time familiarizing himself with this new divine title, Yin Yunze discovered that, apart from being slightly stronger, the Land God Divinity of Upper Creek Village was actually quite similar to that of Clear Creek Village.

With his familiarity with the Land God Divinity of Clear Creek Village, Yin Yunze quickly became proficient in the art.

Using the Earth Vein Power, he enveloped himself and entered the underground. After circling Upper Creek Village, Yin Yunze finally returned to the four-sided cage.

Emerging from the ground and confirming that he was now the local Land God of Upper Creek Village, Yin Yunze was overjoyed. However, he couldn't help but feel a little greedy and even began to think about when to condense the Land God Divinity of Lower Creek Village as well.

In that case, Yin Yunze, who becomes the Land God of three villages at the same time, might be able to rise even higher.

He connected the three villages with the Clear Creek, eventually becoming the Land God of the Clear Creek Basin.

By then, having occupied such an area, Yin Yunze would be considered a minor local tyrant in Qingling County!

However, while the vision is admirable, progress is slow.

After indulging in a little daydreaming, Yin Yunze didn't dwell on it for long and focused his attention on the remaining two items.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yin Yunze was the first to pick up the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag that had saved his life.

Yin Yunze had always suspected that the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag might be very powerful, but after witnessing its true power, he was still shocked. It could be said that this Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag was Yin Yunze's strongest trump card, both now and for a long time to come.

The moment Yin Yunze obtained the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, he discovered two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The bad news is that Yin Yunze spent several days eroding to three percent progress, only to have it all wiped out after this battle.

In other words, Yin Yunze needs to start refining this Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag from scratch.

The good news is that the Divine Sense imprint left by the cultivator was also cleared away.

After careful consideration, Yin Yunze understood what had happened!

It has to be said, the Power of Incense Offerings from this century-old weasel are still incredibly powerful!

What Yin Yunze might have taken months to accomplish, this yellow-skinned dead rat did in minutes.

Thus, Yin Yunze understood how the final black lightning bolt came about.

It was probably the cultivator's last resort when he realized his Divine Sense was about to be erased.

If it weren't for Grandfather Huang Three's timely intervention, this Demon -Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning would probably have struck Yin Yunze instead!
