Qin Luo was just telling a story about discussing Tao with Song Qingjing, and he replied with a smile, "Tao is in excrement and urine."

"Senior brother, what do you mean?"

Jin Yan scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

Qin Luo chuckled and said, "The Great Dao is omnipresent and will not cease to exist because of filth."

Jin Yan seemed to be deep in thought. He walked towards the room, muttering to himself, "No wonder Master often goes to the outhouse."

Qin Luo returned to his room to rest.

Late at night, Lu Xian brought a Yin spirit who looked like a middle-aged Confucian scholar to visit Longhu Temple.

Lu Xian stood outside the temple and cupped his hands in greeting, "City God Lu Xian greets Senior Door God."

Wu Xuantian walked out of the door, his tall figure exuding an imposing aura, and even Jinjiao bowed his head to him.

He is a true ancient god, existing as a yang god, and is more ancient than these appointed yin gods.

"Are you here to see Master Qin?"

"That's right."

"I'll pass on your message!"

Wu Xuantian turned and walked into the Taoist temple.

The middle-aged scholar beside Lu Xian spoke up, "Lord City God, he seems to be a god."

"It doesn't matter. He's the guardian deity of Longhu Temple now. Longhu Temple worships the Taoist patriarch, so we're practically family," Lu Xian said with a smile.

The middle-aged scholar chuckled and said, "Back then, the gods and the Heavenly Court fought to the death. I never thought we would cooperate."

Initially, the Three Realms were ruled by the gods. When the Dao Ancestor overthrew the gods and established the Heavenly Court, the two forces became enemies. Later, the gods went to the mortal realm and united with various forces to fight against the Heavenly Court again, which led to the protracted war between the gods.

In the end, both the gods and the Heavenly Court were severely weakened, and the cultivators ascended to the heavens and occupied the Immortal Realm.

Wu Xuantian knocked on the door.

Qin Luo heard the noise and came to the door.

"Master Qin, City God Lu is looking for you."

"I see."

Qin Luo arrived outside the Taoist temple.

Lu Xian smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Immortal Master."

Qin Luo cupped his hands to Lu Xian and the middle-aged scholar, "May I ask how this senior is addressed?"

The middle-aged scholar returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "Judge, Cui Yan."

"May I ask what brings you two seniors here?"

Lu Xian shook his head and sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Now there are only Cui Yan and I in the City God Temple. Most of the other Yin gods have perished. The City God Temple is short-handed and wants to ask a celestial master for help."

"There must be many talented people in the underworld."

Qin Luo felt that the underworld must have no shortage of capable people.

"Indeed, there is, but I do not have the authority to command gods."

"And what about Yama, the King of Hell?"

"The King of Hell has already fled."

Qin Luo was somewhat puzzled, "Why did Yama run away?"

Lu Xian sighed, "Alas! It involves reincarnation. Yama secretly helped a supreme god of the divine race reincarnate. I escaped from the City God Temple because of this. The Imperial Observatory even wanted to steal my Book of Life and Death. In order to prevent the Imperial Observatory from obtaining it, I had no choice but to destroy the Book of Life and Death."

"Who is this supreme god?"

"I don't know either."

"Then you'll destroy the Book of Life and Death?"

"I'm afraid the Imperial Observatory might encounter problems if they receive it."

Why did the Great Xia Dynasty fear the reincarnated gods?

"After being reincarnated, the gods cultivate faster than normal cultivators, and the reincarnation of the supreme god of the gods may very well overthrow the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Qin Luo roughly understood what was going on. "Senior, if you have a suitable candidate, I can help you become a god, but it's best if the City God Temple doesn't get involved in any messy things in the future."

"I understand!"

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

Lu Xian and Cui Yan bowed and thanked them.

Watching Lu Xian leave, Qin Luo thought of the mountain god and the earth god of the Ziyun Mountains. Some of them had nothing to do all day long, and he wondered if he could help them find a job.

...

Bailu Temple.

Built on the summit of a majestic mountain.

The strange beast, riding on fiery clouds, stopped above the Taoist temple.

The girl in the purple dress stood in mid-air, looking down at the White Deer Temple. She didn't notice any powerful cultivators and narrowed her eyes slightly. "They are far inferior to that young Taoist priest."

Tang Yao said with a smile, "Why don't you return to the capital first, and I'll investigate that young Taoist priest?"

"Since we're already here..."

"Let's go to Bailu Temple and ask."
