"Donghuang God System?"

"I did meet an 'old acquaintance'."

Shen Yuan was flying in the air at the normal speed of a Qi training cultivator. Recalling the news he had heard from the three people before, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

Shen Yuan was quite familiar with the name of the Donghuang Pantheon.

Shen Yuan once encountered Kuang Tianjie, the leader of the Xuehe Yuantu Sect, in the mountains of Yunfu, and was mistaken by him for the Donghuang Divine Lord.

And just after he mastered the ability to exorcise gods, he used the god-exorcising edict to disguise himself as a god of incense and fire to deceive the Lord of Yunfu Mountain.

At that time, many mountain gods, including the master of Yunfu Mountain, mistook Shen Yuan for the Donghuang God who ruled the Donghuang pantheon ten thousand years ago.

From the information he learned from Old Demon Kuang, Shen Yuan was able to determine that Lord Donghuang was one of the masterminds behind the demon rebellion, and had caused a widespread war in the Xuanhuang Realm.

In the end, the Lord of Donghuang escaped, but was killed by a powerful earthly immortal from the Luoyun Sect a hundred years later. The entire Donghuang pantheon was completely destroyed.

However, this was the history before Shen Yuan intervened. After Shen Yuan intervened across ten thousand years of time, the entire Luoyun Sect disappeared without a trace, and the so-called earthly immortals did not exist at all.

There might be some unexpected events in the process of killing the Donghuang God and destroying the entire Donghuang God system.

"However, the demon transformation chaos and the destruction of the Donghuang God System are things that will happen after the connection between heaven and earth is broken. It is still too early now, and there is no point in considering it any more."

Shen Yuan learned from those three people that it has only been three years since the trial of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, and the name of the Taoist disciple of Luoyun Sect has just spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm, and there are still decades before the Great Yin Emperor will achieve the connection between heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan shook his head and temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Looking at the Luoyu City gradually approaching in front of him, he slowed down his escape speed.

As Shen Yuan approached the border of the city, he could clearly see rays of light rising into the sky and flying towards the place where the turbulent space-time phenomenon was.

The vast majority of independent cultivators chose to go and fight for the opportunity, but Shen Yuan was the only one who flew back to Luoyu City alone, which immediately attracted considerable attention.

However, when most of the cultivators realized that Shen Yuan did not use any flying magic weapon, but instead controlled his Yuan Qi to fly, they all showed awe in their eyes.

In the geographically remote Luoyu City, Qi-cultivating cultivators are already considered to be great figures, and the vast majority of cultivators present are only at the Qi-transforming stage.

Luoyu City did not have any no-fly formations set up, so Shen Yuan landed directly in the city.

Seeing this, the eyes of several young men around lit up, and one of them quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully:

"Master Immortal has just arrived at Luoyu City. Do you need me to lead the way?

I know a thing or two about all the big and small martial arts pavilions, talisman shops, and cultivation caves in Luoyu City."

Shen Yuan glanced at the young man who took the initiative to step forward. The thoughts of his injured Yang Shen spread out, easily penetrating through the barriers of the formations, and seeing through the entire Luoyu City.

“Although there is some residual aura of the God Transformation in the City Lord’s Mansion, there is no God Transformation master. The God Transformation master who is guarding the city should be fighting for opportunities.

Now, there are only four aging Qigong monks left in the city. They should be the so-called ancestors of the aristocratic families in the city, relying on secret methods to survive and continue their family lineage. "

With just one glance, he was able to see through all the secrets of the city. In terms of understanding of the city, Shen Yuan was probably far superior to the young man in front of him.

As his thought progressed, Shen Yuan casually took out a spirit stone from the void with his right hand and threw it to the young man in front of him.

"I am not interested in those shops and caves. Tell me the general situation in the Donghuang Territory."

Amid the envious looks of others around him, the young man excitedly took the spirit stone and put it in his arms.

The Donghuang Territory is short of resources, and even the cultivators in the territory would like to break a spirit stone into two halves to spend.

They led the way for the Immortal Master, and under normal circumstances they would only be rewarded with some gold and silver. Giving them broken spirit stones was already considered generous.

Giving a whole spirit stone at a time is undoubtedly a rare and generous act.

"Master, rest assured, I, Miao Yu, will tell you everything I know!"

Shen Yuan did not respond and walked towards a place in Luoyu City.

Miao Yu followed behind Shen Yuan and said respectfully:

“The Immortal Master must have come from another domain and doesn’t know much about our Donghuang Domain.

The one who nominally rules the Donghuang Territory is the Territory Lord in Donghuang City who was appointed by the imperial court, but in reality, the entire Donghuang Territory is governed by the Donghuang Divine Monarch, and every household in the Donghuang Territory must worship the statue of the Donghuang Divine Monarch. "

“In many cities in the domain, the positions of city gods are also occupied by some gods from the Donghuang pantheon.

If the citizens in the city accumulate a hundred spirit stones, they can participate in the selection and join the City God Temple to become the Light Master.

The Light Master can practice the skills provided by the Donghuang God System and travel to various places in the domain to slay demons and accumulate merits. When the merits reach a certain level, he can be conferred the title of a god and become one of the gods in the Donghuang God System. "

Having said that, Miao Yu subconsciously covered the spirit stone stored in front of his chest, and looked towards the City God Temple in the city with eyes full of reverence.

In the eyes of Miao Yu, who grew up in Luoyu City, all this was as it should be. On the contrary, Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, as he heard something amiss.

"How many Lantern Masters can become gods of the Donghuang pantheon every year?"

When it comes to this topic, Miao Yu becomes extremely excited and quickly answers:

"Every ten years, the Donghuang God System will select three outstanding people from among the Light Masters in the region to confer titles on them."

"How many Light Masters are there in the Donghuang Territory?"

“Millions.”

When Shen Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Hand over spiritual stones to the City God Temple to become a lantern bearer, then complete tasks everywhere to accumulate merit, just for the chance to be selected from a million people every ten years to become three gods.

This trick of using carrots to catch donkeys is quite like the capitalists squeezing the bones and marrow.

As if sensing Shen Yuan's surprise, Miao Yu quickly added:

“Master, you don’t know that although the gods will only select three people to be conferred titles every ten years, even if there is no reward from the gods, ordinary lamp bearers have the opportunity to become the Yinchao of the City God Temple after accumulating enough merits.

The ghost messenger who holds the lamp has only the title, but is not included in the list of the underworld. The only benefit is that after his death he can remain as a ghost under the protection of the City God Temple.

The long life span of the ghosts and spirits gives ordinary practitioners more opportunities to accumulate merits, and the probability of eventually becoming a god will be much greater!"

Hearing this, Shen Yuan subconsciously paused slightly.

The capitalists at least exploit you when you are alive, but the Donghuang pantheon makes the Lantern Keeper work for them even after his death.

That would have been fine, but the identity of the ghost messenger who was not on the list of the underworld made Shen Yuan feel like a temporary worker.

Miao Yu, who was standing by, naturally didn't know what Shen Yuan was thinking. At this moment, he was happily counting on his fingers and saying:

“I am sixteen years old this year, and I have already collected more than thirty spirit stones. I only need more than sixty spirit stones to make a hundred.

It seems that I have a good chance of becoming a lantern bearer before I turn thirty, and then maybe I can compete for the position of a deity."

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, then said casually:

"What you lack is not the spirit stone."

"What is that?" "It's a street light."

After making a casual complaint, Shen Yuan did not reveal the truth behind these tricks to Miao Yu.

Miao Yu is not even a cultivator at the moment, so it would be meaningless even if he was told the truth.

For an ordinary person like him, false hope is much easier to accept than the truth.

Just as Miao Yu was describing the customs and practices of the Donghuang Territory, Shen Yuan had already arrived in front of a dental clinic.

There were two practitioners at the Refining Essence Realm among the dentists. When they saw Shen Yuan coming in, they hurried to greet him.

"Senior, you have come to our bank, but what can I do for you?"

There is a huge notice board in front of the dental office, which is covered with wooden signs that advertise houses for sale with their location information written on them.

Comparing the location in Luoyu City, Shen Yuan waved his right hand lightly, and a wooden sign fell into his hand.

"I want this mansion."

Shen Yuan bought a secluded courtyard in the city for three hundred spirit stones. He rejected the broker's plan to sell slaves and closed the gate of the courtyard.

Looking around at the environment that was quite similar to the secret courtyard, Shen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Because he had been injured in the space-time turbulence not long ago, the disorder of his magic power has not been resolved until now. Shen Yuan bought this courtyard with the purpose of concentrating on practicing, calming down the disorder of his magic power and recovering to his peak strength.

After all, the Xuanhuang Realm ten thousand years ago was not a good place for Shen Yuan.

The heavenly court in the upper world still exists, and if you rashly use your magical powers to exorcise gods, it is likely to attract the spying of the heavenly court.

In the Humane Dynasty, Emperor Dayin is a complete Humane Emperor. The human trends he controls are far beyond the reach of later emperors. Once Shen Yuan mobilizes the human trends, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Emperor Dayin.

As for the underworld, the underworld was still intact ten thousand years ago and the underworld had not yet been born. This also meant that Shen Yuan could not mobilize the will of Fengdu with his status as the Emperor of Fengdu.

His three biggest trump cards were restricted, and he himself was severely injured and his cultivation was damaged. This was not good news for Shen Yuan.

Only by recovering to the peak of cultivation, and then breaking through the chasm of the Spirit Transformation Realm in one go to achieve the status of a Spirit Refining True Person, would one be able to protect oneself in the Xuanhuang Realm of ten thousand years ago.

And this is exactly the purpose of Shen Yuan's crossing of ten thousand years of time.

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan reached his index finger into the void and casually drew a protective formation on the hidden spatial level to cover the entire courtyard.

Shen Yuan then returned to the room and began to meditate to calm the disorder in his magical power.

A few days passed quickly, and the news of the strange phenomenon in the wilderness outside Luoyu City had spread to several cities within a thousand miles. Even the bigwigs in Huayu County had turned their attention to this place.

Above the barren mountain, seven auras of the Divine Transformation Realm enveloped the entire mountain. Below them, thousands of cultivators were searching every inch of the mountain.

Seven incarnation monks from different cities had gloomy expressions and looked at all the monks with cold eyes to prevent them from hiding anything secretly.

This search has lasted for five full days.

During these five days, everyone found a lot of second- and third-level elixirs that had grown for thousands of years on this barren mountain, which could almost be called natural treasures, as well as some precious minerals that were imbued with the breath of time.

But apart from this, there is nothing else.

In fact, considering only those spiritual medicines and minerals, everyone has already reaped a rich harvest. However, compared with the space collapse that affected an area of ​​ten miles in radius that day, and the extremely terrifying space-time turbulence, these things are simply insignificant.

The seven Jindan monks present were convinced that the source of the time and space turbulence must be an extremely precious time treasure, which was most likely a spiritual treasure, and could even be a Taoist weapon of a higher level.

They are not qualified to possess such treasures, even the Huayu Mountain God who sits in Huayu County is not qualified.

Whether presenting the treasure to a big shot of the Dayin Dynasty or to the Lord of the East, one can obtain unimaginable huge benefits.

But now they have searched the entire barren mountain but still found nothing, which made several Jindan monks present feel a little anxious.

"Why not?"

"With this level of heaven and earth phenomena, there must be a rare treasure born."

"Could it be that this strange phenomenon was caused by the magical power of a powerful person?"

A great monk who had reached the state of Divine Transformation spoke, and the others immediately focused their attention on him, their eyes full of sarcasm.

Another great monk who had reached the state of incarnation criticized mercilessly:

"Idiot! The level of the Time Divine Power is rare in all realms, and the use of the Time Divine Power will be accompanied by backlash at the cause and effect level.

The cause and effect brought about by such a large-scale space-time turbulence is enough to kill a True Lord, and even a True Immortal will be injured.

Do you think an immortal would be willing to suffer personal injury just to clear a barren mountain?"

Another voice suddenly sounded.

"Could someone have taken the Time Treasure away?"

As soon as this conjecture was spoken, the Divine Transformation cultivators present fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a Qigong cultivator below flew into the air, holding up three corpses behind him with his magic power.

“My Lords, we found these three bodies in a forest outside the Vision Mountain.

It was found that these three bodies belonged to the He family in Luoyu City. Some people saw them heading here on the day the strange phenomenon appeared, but they died on the way. "

The Lord of Luoyu City frowned and said coldly: "I know."

Although the emergence of visions is an opportunity, it also hides crises.

Especially on the first day, many practitioners killed and injured each other in the fight for spiritual medicines. If the three Qi-transforming cultivators were not from local families in Luoyu City, they would not even be qualified to report to him.

The Qi training cultivator was about to retreat upon hearing this, but at this moment another great Spiritualization cultivator suddenly spoke up:

"Wait a moment."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the great monk who had reached the state of transformation of the gods coming to the three corpses. He looked at the remaining traces of Yuan Qi on them and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He pinched his hands and a round mirror magic weapon appeared in his arms, turning into a ray of light that enveloped the three corpses.

With the remnants of the dissipated Yuan Qi, a trace of the breath of time appeared in front of everyone.

"Why do they have the aura of time?"

"They were killed on their way to the Land of Strange Visions. There was a trace of time on their bodies. Could it be that the person who killed them was the one who took away the Time Treasure?"

Many Divine Transformation monks showed surprise on their faces and immediately sent their men to search for relevant information.

A quarter of an hour later, several great masters of the Incarnation Realm flew towards the direction of Luoyu City, riding on the light of escape.
