The energy surged and gathered like a tide, gradually condensing into an illusory baby body above the Chenghuang Temple.
The ocean of faith gave birth to giant dragons, which shuttled back and forth, and finally penetrated into the baby's body and merged with it.
Under the wash of the endless power of faith, the baby's shadow is magnificent, sometimes like a flawless jade, sometimes like a dazzling sun.
The vision broke through the sky, and the holy light once again spread throughout the Holy King's City.
After the last battle with the seven evil demons, everyone in the entire territory of Holy King City knew the magic of the Holy Infant in Tata Village.
Seeing such a miracle again this time, more and more people began to yearn for it and wanted to go to Tata Village to pay their respects and worship.
"Lord City Lord, refugees from all over the country are now heading to Tata Village, and monsters from the east, west, and north are also out in force. It seems that they are all going to the Yingsheng Temple Master."
In the Lord's Mansion of the Holy King City, the Lord is listening to the reports from his men.
He sighed helplessly.
"Let them go, maybe it's a good thing to get his protection."
The people who came to report the news were a little puzzled as to why the city lord's attitude towards the Yingsheng Temple Master had changed so drastically.
Before, her displeasure was clearly written on her face, but now she is beginning to feel grateful that he exists.
"Go down, you don't have to report to me if you encounter something like this again."
"yes."
After his men retreated, the Lord of the Holy King City lowered his head and looked at the black jade slip in his hand.
"Is the predicted disaster coming after all..."
When the city lord of the Holy King City was lost in despair, city lords from all over the Great Shang Empire also received the same black jade slip.
The jade slip contained only one message: it was predicted that disaster would occur, and we would prepare combat power immediately to prepare for the disaster.
The message did not specify the specific time when the disaster would come, but the person who sent the message was the highest level in the world.
Even the royal family of the Great Shang Empire had to retreat politely in front of those beings.
…
Tata Village.
More than a month has passed since Lin Qiye used his soul body as a mold to personally reshape the appearance of heretics.
The grand scene was displayed in such a flamboyant manner for more than a month.
"With this energy-gathering array, the speed of energy gathering is quite fast. However, the energy that can be absorbed every day seems to be limited, and it has only barely completed the shaping until now."
Lin Qiye's consciousness penetrated into his body, and his flesh and blood body had basically taken shape.
"If you want to completely remodel it, it will probably take half a month. Forget it, let's use some materials to save time."
He groaned.
Time is very important to him now, because he never knows when the evil spirit will come knocking on his door.
Therefore, he planned to speed up the process of reshaping the clone without consuming precious materials.
His consciousness sank into the life lamp gem space.
He kept all the important materials, took out the rest of the overlapping parts, and the messy materials, and threw them all to the baby phantom located in the temple.
Of course, not all materials will be devoured and smelted, and some things that are not helpful in shaping the physical body will be quickly rejected.
Lin Qiye just waited. If something was spit out, he would put it away.
Just as he was gathering useless materials, a similar feeling suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, which immediately attracted his attention.
"what happened?"
A feeling of seasonal movement made his heart beat wildly.
It's like a common man suddenly learns that he has won 100 million.
Following that feeling, I saw a black bead floating inside the baby's shadow, exuding a strange rhythm.
"Is that it?"
The moment Lin Qiye saw the black bead, he remembered that it was something he got after killing the white dragon.
Because there was a seal inside the bead that he could not break, it was temporarily thrown aside.
I never thought that it would actually arouse the longing deep in my soul.
Lin Qiye didn't know what the situation was, but judging from the feeling, it shouldn't be harmful to him at all.
"This thing seems not simple, but there is no way to absorb it now. It seems that the only way is to integrate it into the body and study it slowly in the future."
Siluke
There is still a seal inside the black bead. Although the heretic dharma resonates with it this time, Lin Qiye still has no means to break it.
After repeatedly failing to control his research, he had no choice but to shelve it again.
Because after integrating many materials, the physical body of the heretic dharma has been reshaped.
The moment the clone reappeared, the vision above Tata Village suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, the villagers of Tata Village have seen this big scene countless times.
When I saw the vision disappear, I was only briefly surprised, and then recovered quickly.
At the same time, the Butcher and others saw the vision dissipated and knew that Lin Qiye had left seclusion, so they immediately went to see him.
"Did anything unusual happen during this period?"
Lin Qiye looked at the butchers and asked.
"Back to my lord, many monsters have come to seek refuge during this period, and the reaction from the Lord of the Holy King City seems a bit strange."
The butcher replied respectfully.
"Oh? What's going on?"
Lin Qiye only thought that the Lord of the Holy King City was attacking him.
"Recently, refugees from all over the east, west and north of Holy King City have moved to our side, but there is no response from the city lord at all."
The butcher reported the situation truthfully, with a serious look on his face.
"We also received news from Owl Nian. We heard that the City Lord's Mansion has been active recently and seems to be collecting supplies for war preparations."
Chang Shi added from the side.
"Raising supplies for war preparations?"
Lin Qiye was slightly surprised.
His recent actions may annoy the Lord of the Holy King City, but they will definitely not cause him to mobilize troops to attack him, right?
"The specific situation is not yet clear. Owl Nian is making inquiries, and news should come back soon."
The Butcher also felt that the Lord of the Holy King City would not send troops so easily.
After all, that would cost too much. Even if Lin Qiye was driven away, there would be no benefit at all.
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, and then his consciousness directly connected to Owl Nian through the reflection orb.
Owl Nian, who was in the Holy King's City, suddenly sensed Lin Qiye's consciousness and was shocked.
"grown ups!"
He calmed down and talked to Lin Qiye respectfully.
"What's going on in the Holy King City recently?"
Lin Qiye thought, and the voice sounded in Owl Nian's mind.
"Back to my lord, the current situation in the Holy King City is a bit complicated. War preparation supplies are being collected everywhere in the city."
"Not only the city lord, but also other forces are taking action. It seems like there is something big going on."
"By the way, Luo Xiaobei also made an appointment with me today, saying that he had important information to tell your Excellency."
Owl Nian gave a brief explanation of all the situations.
Lin Qiye secretly guessed.
Perhaps the actions of the major forces in the Holy King City should be related to the information Luo Xiaobei wanted to tell.
"Where is Luo Xiaobei? Where is he?"
Lin Qiye asked aloud.
"He should be arriving soon."
Owl Nian's gaze shared with Lin Qiye's sea of consciousness.
The destination we entered was a relatively remote tea house. It was very quiet and no one could be seen moving around.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and tall young man appeared on the screen.
"Xiao Bei, this way!"
Owl Nian greeted Luo Xiaobei warmly. During this time, they got along closely and became close friends.
"Brother Owl Nian."
Luo Xiaobei smiled and came to Owl Nian's side.
Owl Nian didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly:
"I am communicating with your Excellency. Please tell your Excellency the information you have obtained."
Luo Xiaobei knew that Owl Nian had a treasure that could directly connect with Lin Qiye, so he was not surprised and looked directly into Owl Nian's eyes and bowed respectfully.
"See my lord."
"Just tell me directly, and I will relay your words to you."
Owl Nian reminded.
Luo Xiaobei nodded and began to talk about the information he had obtained.
"It's like this. When I was out on a mission recently, I was suddenly recalled. As soon as I returned to the city, Mr. Shang Yuan of the branch personally summoned all members of our special organization."
Having said this, Luo Xiaobei seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to call others "sir" in front of Lin Qiye, and quickly added:
"That Shang Yuan is a hidden master of the Cult's branch stationed in the Holy King City. His strength is at the immortal level. His main responsibility is to be in charge of our special organization."
The special organization within the Cult of Killing is a group of high-level monks whose lowest strength is still in the Hedao realm.
Very few outsiders know of their existence, and their main task is to deal with matters related to evil spirits.
"Shang Yuan called us back this time because of a major crisis. Although he didn't make it clear, it should be related to those evil spirits!"
Luo Xiaobei was Lin Qiye's concern about evil things, so when he got the information, he got in touch with Owl Nian as soon as possible.
"Is it related to evil spirits? What kind of crisis? Even the immortal-level experts take it so seriously?"
Owl Nian was a little surprised, but also relayed Lin Qiye's question.
"The specific situation is not very clear, but this crisis is not just about killing cults, but all major forces are involved. I heard from some people in the organization that it seems to be related to some prophecy."
Luo Xiaobei talked about the information he got.
After listening, Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
Prophecy? And it’s a prophecy related to evil spirits.
Think of the actions of various forces and the so-called crisis incident.
Lin Qiye quickly made a guess.
This time, I am afraid that there will be another large-scale invasion of evil spirits, and the senior leaders of the human race have foreseen some things in advance, so they have entered such a tense state.
'This is troublesome. My body has not been reshaped yet. When the evil spirits come, it will be difficult to resist.'
"How long until the crisis?"
Owl Nian relayed Lin Qiye's words to Luo Xiaobei.
"There's no way to be certain about this, but according to the speculations of the top leaders of the Cult, it could be as short as one or two years or as long as decades. But based on the frequency of activities of those evil spirits we recently investigated, I estimate that it may be up to five or six years. Question
It will be out of control.”
Luo Xiaobei said his guess.
It can be as short as one or two years, or as long as five or six years.
Lin Qiye's heart sank. This was about the same time as he estimated, but the problem was very serious.
'It seems that the shaping of the body must be completed within a year.'
Without a physical body, there is no resistance.
Lin Qiye knew the seriousness of the problem and secretly began to consider expanding his sphere of influence in order to collect enough materials.
But at the same time, you must also pay attention to the movements of the evil spirits and the information about the seven evil spirits.
He once again sent word through the Year of the Owl:
"Have you collected any information about those evil spirits recently?"
Luo Xiaobei looked into Owl Nian's eyes and replied respectfully:
"Recently, because of that incident, a lot of information about those evil spirits has been disclosed in the organization. I have recorded it all, please take a look at it."
As he spoke, he handed a stack of manuals to Owl Nian.
Owl Nian kept flipping through the manual, and pages of content flashed before his eyes. All the information was undoubtedly read by Lin Qiye.
Most of the relevant records are a summary of the traces of demons found in various places and the situations handled by each team.
There are very few situations where I have actually faced evil spirits, and they were all evil spirits under the Hedao realm.
But it's worth mentioning.
All those evil spirits have the ability to infect ordinary creatures and turn them into evil spirits.
Most of the evil spirits in the past infected the bodies of living beings, but the evil spirits faced this time directly eroded the souls.
For people like the Butcher, who have not been in direct contact with evil spirits, but have only been contaminated by their power, there is still a glimmer of hope for salvation.
And those who directly confront evil spirits and have their souls eroded to their very origin cannot be saved even by gods.
"This information is not of much use. You can continue to stay and see if you can get more detailed information."
The Year of the Owl conveys Lin Qiye’s meaning.
"yes."
Luo Xiaobei nodded.
He also knew that since all this information had been made public, it shouldn't be too important.
However, he believed that if those so-called evil spirits were really such a big threat, sooner or later the information within the organization would be completely disclosed.
It's just that the higher-ups don't know what they are hiding now, and they still hide deep information very deeply.
While communicating with Owl Nian and the others, Lin Qiye did not forget to talk to Butcher and the others about expanding their sphere of influence.
"Now that the entire Great Shang Empire is in crisis, the Lord of the Holy King City can no longer take care of us. I am still missing some of the key materials for shaping my body. You must gather the demons quickly and prepare to expand beyond the Holy King City."
When the butcher and others heard what Lin Qiye said, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Sir, we have just taken control of the territory of the Holy King City, and the foundation is not yet solid. If we expand outward rashly, we may cause resistance from the demon groups in other places!"
They knew very little about the monsters in other places, but they also knew that the monsters under the jurisdiction of the Holy King City were only average in strength.
It is obviously extremely difficult to conquer monsters in other places.
Even if Lin Qiye is here, his name is still well-known only in the Holy King City. But outside the Holy King City, the further away you are, the less you know who he is.
The nearby monsters may be able to subdue them, but if they are far away, they may not be able to suppress them at all.
In response to this, Lin Qiye looked blank.
"Just follow the instructions. During the expansion and construction process, accept those who can be conquered. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed directly!"
Now that time was running out, Lin Qiye had no time to waste on those monsters.
Several people's hearts skipped a beat when they looked at Lin Qiye's indifferent expression.
They knew that Lin Qiye was definitely not joking.
"But sir, the strength of the few of us can now suppress the monsters in the Holy King City. Beyond this boundary, many places are guarded by fairy-level demon lords, and we are no match at all..."
The long face shows a difficult color.
After he took control of the demon soldiers in the Holy King City, he also had a clearer understanding of the power of the demon clan outside.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that the demon clan seemed to have many immortal-level beings.
Originally, when I saw the monsters in the Holy King City, it was rare to even see one in the God Transformation stage. I thought that fairy-level monsters were very rare. Now I see that this is not the case at all. It is just that the monsters in their area are relatively weak.
.
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, and then said:
"Let's do this. You first expand in a direction that is not guarded by an immortal-level demon lord. In the past two days, I will focus on helping you improve your cultivation, so that you can all reach the peak of the God Transformation Realm."
These words were spoken lightly, but they made the butcher and others feel like they were struck by lightning.
The next second, everyone's faces turned red with excitement, and their breathing became heavy.
"S-Sir...are you kidding me?"
They had no doubts about Lin Qiye's ability, especially after their knowledge was refreshed time and time again, they were all a little numb now.
However, when I suddenly heard that it could elevate their cultivation to the peak of the God Transformation Realm, who would be able to do it and not be excited?
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Lin Qiye looked indifferent, and at the same time notified Owl Nian to come back and prepare to improve his strength as well.
After receiving his confirmation, the butcher and others felt dizzy and almost fainted from happiness.
That is to say, they would believe what Lin Qiye said. If it were anyone else, even if it was an immortal here, they would only think that he was bragging.
"Thank you, sir!"
Several people thanked him excitedly.
Lin Qiye just waved his hand and told them to go down and wait for the notification.
According to the normal method, if you want to break through to the realm of gods, you must have enough understanding of the laws.
But what Lin Qiye wanted to use this time was not conventional means, but planned to use advanced awakening potions to forcibly increase their strength.
Advanced awakening potions have basically no side effects, so there is no need to worry about affecting their future practice.
"Fortunately, I brought the treasures of our main world with me during this trip. I can make a high-level awakening potion, so there should be no problem."
Lin Qiye checked the inventory and prepared various levels of potion materials.
He needs to let Chang Shi and the others break through to the Hedao realm first, and then they can use the advanced awakening potion to break through to the God Transformation state.
"It's a good thing we let them prepare for the preparation of potions before retreating, otherwise it would have been a waste of time to build a laboratory on site."
Lin Qiye came to a newly built laboratory and secretly rejoiced.
With the help of a group of monsters, it is not too difficult to refine the ore and build a laboratory.
After all, these things have detailed information and drawings, and they follow the instructions. For monsters who are proficient in magic, they are just easy to catch.
In the next few days, Lin Qiye stayed in the laboratory, constantly refining potions, blending formulas, and creating the most advanced awakening potions.
After he fused enough potions, Owl Nian also rushed back from the Holy King City.
Outside Tata Village, over the vast wilderness.
Lin Qiye was standing thousands of meters above the sky with Butcher and others.
"These are potions used to help you break through. You guys should take this first. After you break through to the Hedao realm, you can use this potion together."
Lin Qiye handed different levels of awakening potions to Butcher and others.
"yes."
Chang Shi, Hou Tu and Ou Nian looked at the potion in their hands and said respectfully.
The three of them have not yet reached the Hedao realm and need to use another dose of awakening potion first.
"Let's get started, I will help you absorb the medicine, you just need to absorb the energy."
Lin Qiye reminded them, and they took the potion without hesitation.
Soon, with Thirteen Chang as the center, the surrounding heaven and earth began to vibrate violently, and spiritual energy surged in at an extremely fast speed, threatening to form a vortex.
This is Lin Qiye using the energy gathering formation.
"I broke through!"
After only a few breaths, Chang Shi screamed in surprise.
Gu Yue and Butcher were dumbfounded.
Although Chang Shi’s cultivation has already reached the peak of Nascent Soul Realm, it shouldn’t be difficult to break through.
But this was just the beginning, and he had already achieved a breakthrough. Such a heaven-defying promotion speed was simply unheard of.
"I also broke through!"
"Me too!"
Before Gu Yue and Butcher could regain their senses, shouts of surprise came from Hou Tu and Ou Nian.
Everyone present, except Lin Qiye, looked at each other in a state of confusion.
If Lin Qiye's past breakthroughs were considered to them, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
Then their breakthrough is as natural as breathing!
"Pay attention to adjusting the state and don't end up with an unstable foundation."
Seeing that several people were so excited that they forgot they were still improving their cultivation, Lin Qiye reminded them.
At this time, Thirteen Long finally came to his senses, quickly calmed down and checked his own situation.
After breaking through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the early stage of the Hedao Realm, the rise in cultivation has not stopped.
The middle stage of Hedao realm...
Late stage of Hedao realm...
It only took less than half a quarter of an hour to reach the limit of Hedao realm.
"This...is it over?"
Sensing that there was no obstacle to the breakthrough of the three men, the butcher felt his whole body go numb.
"It's your turn, I'll raise your cultivation level to the peak of Hedao realm first."
Lin Qiye said to Gu Yue and Butcher.
The two immediately tensed up their nerves and got ready.
It is also a very natural state. When the spiritual energy is gathered into two people's bodies, it is as simple as pouring water into an empty bottle.
There wasn't even any special feeling, the two people's cultivation had reached the limit of the Hedao realm.
"You should stabilize your condition first, and then prepare to take another dose of awakening potion."
Lin Qiye said something and waited for several people to adjust their status.
moment.
The Butcher and others opened their eyes one after another, obviously having adapted to the current state and their condition was stable.
"When you're ready, move on to the next phase."
Several people took advanced awakening potions one after another.
With Lin Qiye's help, the potion's energy was catalytically absorbed to the greatest extent.
"Pay attention to the energy in the potion, it can help you capture the law."
Since none of them have reached the state of divine transformation in their understanding of the law, absorbing the awakening potion is not as easy as before.
While absorbing energy, you must also pay attention to controlling the law of being pulled in by the power of the medicine.
Under Lin Qiye's guidance, several people gradually became familiar with the control of the law.
Then fill it with the energy of the energy gathering array.
The threshold of the realm of transformation into gods was quickly broken through.
