Chapter 223 You are indeed a remnant from the world of immortal cultivation
"You are indeed a remnant from the world of immortal cultivation. Now that you know who I am, why don't you come out and die?"
Lin Qingyue subconsciously protected Dongfang Qi behind her and looked at the man in black robe carefully.
She was probably a woman, not very tall, shrouded in a long black robe. Her face was unclear, but it kept changing as if with disgust.
"Prepare to die? Hahaha... Do you still think you're the powerful empress of the past? I've just tested it and found out that your current skills are far inferior to what they used to be! As for me, I've been tempered for three thousand years, discarding my physical body and becoming invisible and formless. No one in this world can kill me!"
Empress? Dongfang Qi looked at Lin Qingyue in surprise: "Are you the... Empress from three thousand years ago?"
——The person of your dreams?
Lin Qingyue nodded, but didn't have time to explain too much.
"Formless and formless?" Lin Qingyue pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered something, "Could it be that you are the descendant of the Spiritual Law Immortal Venerable?"
She remembered that one of the unique skills of the sect of the Immortal Master Lingfa was the soul leaving the body. Using this method, one could increase their strength, and the strong could become immune to any magical attack.
But even the Immortal Master Lingfa did not dare to completely abandon his physical body.
And the person in front of me... no, or rather, he can no longer be called a human.
"You still remember my father, Lingfa Xianzun? Yes, I am Lingfa Xianzun's daughter!"
Lin Qingyue remembered that Lingfa Xianzun once had a daughter, several dozen years older than herself, whose name seemed to be... Zheng Linggui?
When Lin Qingyue first arrived at Yun Palace, she had several conflicts with Zheng Linggui.
In private, Lin Qingyue called her a dead turtle. Zheng Linggui was so angry that he fought with Lin Qingyue several times, but when he failed, he ran to complain.
Originally, both of them were at fault, but because Zheng Linggui's father was a Spiritual Law Immortal Venerable and held a higher position, the Discipline Officer punished Lin Qingyue.
Later, it was Immortal Lord Zhuohua who said, "Since fighting is wrong, either both parties should be punished, or no one should be punished. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public."
The Discipline Elder certainly didn't dare punish Zheng Linggui, but Immortal Lord Zhuohua's words made him feel a little guilty. In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Zheng Linggui held a grudge against Qingyue, and when Qingyue was away for training and no one was around, he secretly tricked her into falling into the canyon, where she was almost trampled into a pulp by the madly running monsters.
Fortunately, Immortal Zhuohua appeared in time and rescued Qingyue. As a result, Zhuohua and Qingyue became master and apprentice.
Originally, Lin Qingyue had long forgotten about Zheng Linggui, a sinister and vicious woman. Even at this moment, she was only vaguely aware of her and had a slight impression of her.
But Zheng Linggui engraved Lin Qingyue firmly in his heart, resenting her day and night.
"I was originally a favored daughter of heaven in the world of immortal cultivation, and everyone held me in high esteem."
"And my father is my hero. He's such a powerful cultivator. In just a few hundred years, he'll be able to ascend to immortality! Our entire sect is proud of him."
"Yet you killed him and massacred our entire sect! You are a self-degraded demon. You wouldn't be a noble Immortal Lord, but you fell into the devil's way."
"You have betrayed the entire world of immortal cultivation, turning a once-beloved land into a sea of blood and corpses!"
On that day, when Lin Qingyue massacred the Lingfa Xianzun sect, Zheng Linggui escaped by chance but lost his physical body. From then on, he became a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
In order to survive, she had no choice but to give up cultivating immortality and practice the way of ghosts instead.
Especially at that time, the entire world of immortal cultivation was under the rule of the tyrant Qingyue. Fearing discovery, she could only hide in the most yin-filled places in the human world, barely surviving, living like a stinking rat in a gutter.
It was completely different from her previous life as a little princess of the immortal sect!
She hated Qingyue so much and wanted to seek revenge on her countless times, but she had neither the ability nor the courage.
In this way, she hid until the world of immortal cultivation was destroyed. Only when she heard that the demon king died in a fire and even his soul was burned to ashes did she dare to show her head.
However, her strength was still very weak at that time, so she could only continue to practice.
Unfortunately, after losing her physical body, her cultivation progress was as slow as a turtle's.
It took him three thousand years of practice to achieve some success.
She knew that if she continued like this, she would never have the chance to become an immortal.
So later, she imitated what her father did and wanted to use the power of mortals' faith to accelerate the improvement of her own strength.
The Archbishop was a little demon she had taken in, and the two of them worked together to formulate a false god plan.
Guifang Kingdom was the ideal place they chose.
The people here are not as wealthy as those in the Central Plains dynasties, and there are very few well-educated and sensible people here, so they are very easy to be deceived.
So Zheng Linggui transformed himself into the great god Guiyuan.
Initially, she used the image of a female deity.
But the people here favor boys over girls, and have no respect for female gods, let alone any reverence for them.
So, Zheng Linggui turned her statue into a male. Although the facial features were still her original appearance, the clothes and appearance were all male.
In this way, after more than ten years of planning, Guiyuan Sect finally became the largest national religion in Guifang Kingdom, and its influence penetrated into the imperial court.
The residents of the country may not know the king, but everyone knows the great god Guiyuan.
This is where a constant flow of faith comes from.
The power of Guiyuan Pseudo-God has also reached an unprecedented height!
No wonder the major leaders of the immortal cultivation world back then all relied on drawing power from faith to cultivate immortality. It really does have many benefits!
In addition to the rapid improvement in his cultivation, countless gold, silver and treasures continued to flow into the temple.
Her temple became more and more luxurious, from the very first floor to the current eighteenth floor.
Although she hated the Demon Lord Qingyue in her heart, she was also jealous of her ability to unify the world and do whatever she wanted.
So when building the temple, Zheng Linggui subconsciously built it to look like the Yun Palace back then.
In her opinion, the Demon King of the past had long since been reduced to ashes. But now, she could stand at the pinnacle of power and receive the worship of the world.
Then she has undoubtedly defeated the Demon Lord Qingyue! She is bound to create a world even more glorious than the immortal cultivation world of the past!
As a ghost cultivator, although she is now powerful, she is still just a lonely soul.
Naturally, she was unwilling to accept this, so she always wanted to find an ideal body to take over.
Unfortunately, no matter how she looked around, she found that the mortal women here were all ordinary-looking, very different from her original physical body.
She was unwilling to compromise.
Later, the archbishop suggested, "Why don't we make it a rule that all married women must spend their wedding night in the temple. We'll use this as an excuse to receive the gods' blessing, but in reality, we'll be looking for the ideal body for you."
Zheng Linggui rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You lecherous fellow, aren't you afraid that one day you'll die from excessive indulgence in a woman's belly?"
The archbishop laughed heartily. "We are now gods above all others. Who can do anything to me? I have enjoyed enough wealth, so naturally I want to enjoy beauty to the fullest. But I am not just doing this for lust. I also have serious business."
"I recently developed a magical water that can prolong life. One of the ingredients requires virgin blood. The high-ranking officials in the court will always have to give some benefits to increase their faith in us."
So Zheng Linggui nodded and agreed.
