Chapter 132: The Record of True Person Xu Jia, the Golden Core Adept, Beheading the Centipede Dragon

This centipede fears water; the black water on its body is precisely the groundwater Xu Jia introduced by blasting open the Qi aperture.

Now, in the Dharma Realm, it also affects this Yushan Wulong.

Having lost the Quanshen and divine office of the Mountain God, fallen from the altar, and been thoroughly branded as a demonic evil, he has severed the possibility of overlapping with "reality."

Ever since the centipede spirit was suppressed by Huang Muchun and its Primordial Spirit trapped, its physical body evolved into a mountain shaped like Wugong Ling, and it lived day and night in resentment, obsessing, every moment thinking, "After I am reborn and return, I will take back everything that belongs to me."

Until later, when people built a temple to worship the Mountain God, a general from a previous dynasty died here while leading troops to resist rebels; the common people, moved by his bravery and loyalty, placed him on the altar, and after the new dynasty was established, he was even decreed a True God.

The Wugong Ling, formed from the centipede spirit's original physical body, was also the location of its "Quanshen," and it was even gradually refined, transforming into a "heteromorph"; the original Mountain God only thought it was getting closer to the "essence of the Great Dao of mountains and rivers," and although there was a change in form, it could still transform into a human, so it did not give rise to much vigilance.

But this was precisely the "divine replacement" plan of the centipede spirit's Primordial Spirit, subtly transferring itself onto the Mountain God.

In fact, it succeeded, but it did not just influence the Mountain God; the Mountain God was also influencing it, and all the bright, righteous thoughts gradually reformed the centipede spirit's Primordial Spirit, causing it to no longer want to act out at every moment, and occasionally it could even feel the beauty of the human world.

But then the Longevity Sect arrived, and the White Bone Saintess knew that the Primordial Spirit of a thousand-year-old centipede spirit was sealed on Yushan; this was one of the most superior materials for cultivating the "Wufang Wuwengi."

So, following the evil-fallen method, she elevated a mere Mountain God to the imperial title of "Yushan Wulong Great Emperor" and placed him in a "Wushen Miao" in an area suffering from an epidemic, using the resentment of the masses to perform sacrifices.

Later, she dispatched a dwarf White Bone Messenger to set up an evil altar in the belly of Wugong Ling, using bloody and terrifying sacrifices to pollute the divine will, and finally, it was the evil Daoist who replaced the guest-welcoming Daoist, taking advantage of the night to place a centipede, formed by connecting the spinal bones of eighteen children soaked in plague blood and filth, into it as an "Yingwu."

The evil side of the centipede spirit was awakened, the original martial general personality of the Mountain God was devoured, and even the souls of the successive Daoists of Shanju Guan who had worshipped the Mountain God for years were all devoured.

Until the old temple master blood-sacrificed himself, using "humanity and divinity" to check "demonic nature and beastly nature."

Xu Jia, who was killing the evil Daoist after opening the altar and performing rituals, saw this, and that was what pulled Xu Jia into this Cause and Effect.

The centipede spirit's Primordial Spirit in the Dharma Realm lunged over, but Xu Jia let out a shout, and the altar rose infinitely, reaching the forty-nine heavens; the centipede spirit would have to climb up layer by layer to reach Xu Jia.

At the same time, Xu Jia communicated with his past-life Golden Body, and his mind once again arrived at the Fajie Daochang corresponding to the Golden Body's shrine.

Only this time, Xu Jia saw more "points of light."

These points of light seemed to be... the "Lvshan Xushigong Tankou" established by his disciples from his past life.

Xu Jia had no time to check if he could contact his past-life disciples, just as an Immortal who has already ascended cannot contact the orthodoxy of the lower realm.

He only picked up the newly produced "Wish Power Dharma Coins" one by one and threw them into the Merit Box; these Wish Power Dharma Coins actually included two "golden" Wish Power Gold Money, which were completely not in the same league as the previous copper coins.

As Xu Jia touched them, Xia Laohan and Sha Huofo appeared before him.

They had wished for things their whole lives that never came true, but when they were finally liberated, they were realized; they were all very grateful to Xu Jia, although Xu Jia considered that he had not intervened in any Cause and Effect.

But perhaps it was just a word of guidance or the offering of a bowl of noodles that brought such incredible rewards.

Two Wish Power Gold Money were thrown into the Merit Box, and instantly, an "umbilical cord" connected to his past-life Golden Body appeared on Xu Jia's body.

Although a "clepsydra" suddenly appeared on the Dharma Altar to indicate that time was running out, Xu Jia had indeed unlocked the Dharma Power of his complete past-life form, and his physical body even possessed much divine path Dharma Power after many years of offerings.

This life worships the past life, and the past life lends Dharma to this life.

This time there were no noisy sounds of wishing, because "Xu Jidi," who stayed in the Xingong and Xinjiao, was Xu Jia's heart general, completing the "link" on Xu Jia's behalf.

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Jia's aura was completely different.

Because the "main account" had been successfully unlocked.

One could see the Essence, Qi, and Spirit around Xu Jia's body beginning to rise like a rocket.

What you see now is the sixteen-year-old peak-state "True Person" Xu Jia, True Person Xu! That clepsydra only had "twenty breaths," the time was very short, but it was already enough!

Xu Jia did not even need the items on the altar; he pinched a sword finger and shouted: "Lvshan Dragon-Slaying Sword!"

He didn't even need to draw a Talisman!

In the Dharma Realm, golden light shone from Xu Jia's entire body, and the Five Qi were gathered.

A golden Dharma Sword descended from the firmament, summoned, and landed in his hand.

Immediately, he swung it: "Slay!"

The Wulong was still climbing the altar, borrowing the wind to rise with the clouds, when a sword light descended from the sky, looking like the Immortal Lvzu, and also like Xu Xun beheading a flood dragon! The White Bone Hall Saintess, who was still breaking the Five Elements formation over there, saw the scene in the Dharma Realm in the distance and, without saying a word, turned around and left.

"Earth Immortal True Person! On Yushan, there is actually an Earth Immortal True Person!"

Xu Jia beheaded the Wulong Primordial Spirit in two with one sword, but the Wulong twisted and turned into two writhing giant centipedes.

The Resentment Qi made it know no fear and know no escape.

Xu Jia's expression did not change, and he took out the black, dirty ceramic bowl: "Receive!"

He injected his True Person Dharma Power into the ceramic bowl, which then gave rise to streaks of profound light for capturing demons, drawing the two severed Wulong into it.

And in the bowl, there were also the "centipede eggs" Xu Jia had presented when previously refining the Centipede Descent! The Wulong Primordial Spirit was still struggling inside, and the bowl was about to be overturned.

Xu Jia inverted it onto the altar; by this time, ten breaths had already passed.

With ten breaths remaining, Xu Jia picked up yellow paper and lifted it with the Peach Wood Sword; instantly, the yellow Talisman caught fire.

He covered the Fire Talisman under the bowl, and immediately, wisps of smoke Qi emerged.

Xu Jia shouted: "Extract Evil!"

The ceramic bowl was lifted again, and the centipede eggs inside fell off one by one; they were orange-red just a moment ago, but now they had turned into black objects filled with evil Qi.

When the smoke Qi dissipated, only one Yin Spirit remained.

It was the Mountain God transformed from the original martial general.

Xu Jia did not see the souls of the Shanju Guan Daoists.

So he patted this Yin Spirit into the yellow paper and drew a Talisman.

"Chang Yu, hear the decree!"

Five breaths of time remained.

Chang Yu looked at the Xu Jia in front of him with some horror; he looked like the same person, yet seemed to have completely changed. At this moment, he finally understood what Xu Jia meant when he threatened to eat him earlier and Xu Jia spoke of "activating the second form."

So this was the second form.

Chang Yu obediently prostrated under the altar.

"By the decree of the Supreme Clarity Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, now that the evil god has been subdued, yet heaven and earth are not at peace, and a True God is needed to protect them, there is now the lower-realm demon immortal Chang Yu, who diligently cultivates and maintains righteousness, moving the True Person above; you are specially conferred the position of Acting Mountain God of Yushan, for a term of one hundred years, after which you will be evaluated for confirmation; are you willing?"

"Why is it an Acting Mountain God? And I have to be evaluated for a hundred years before being confirmed; why do I feel like you are tricking me into working for free?"

"Hmm?"

Chang Yu had just wanted to haggle, asking if he could be granted a proper title instead, but upon seeing the "Lushan Dragon-Slaying Sword" that Xu Jia had summoned from the heavens, he felt a bit of trepidation and obediently said, "This little demon will strictly follow the Dharma decree!"

Immediately, the Talisman representing the original Mountain God's Yin Spirit split off a "Divine Path Yinjie," which landed on Chang Yu.

Exactly twenty breaths of time had passed, and the aura on Xu Jia's body faded rapidly, a sense of emptiness surging through his entire body.

It felt just as if he had finished an "invoking a deity to possess the body."

Xu Jidi said immediately, "I seem to be able to hear the various wishes received by your Golden Body from your past life; these wishes will turn into memorials and appear on the altar table within the Xinjiao, and with my current ability, I can barely handle some small wishes."

Hearing this, Xu Jia nodded: "As expected, the connection has been made. It is good that it is connected; this way, practicing will have better verification."

After resting for a short while, he picked up the Black Bowl; the centipede eggs inside had turned completely black, and some had fallen onto the Dharma Altar, so Xu Jia gathered them all back into the bowl.

After the evil Primordial Spirit of the Centipede Dragon was "purged of evil," it landed evenly upon these centipede eggs, with each egg receiving a portion of the Primordial Spirit; there were at least tens of thousands of eggs here, so it was divided into tens of thousands of parts.

If these centipede eggs could hatch, they would be "naturally evil seeds."

However, it no longer mattered much; they would not amount to anything.

Xu Jia nodded slightly: "Still usable."

He immediately beckoned to Chang Yu: "Carry me down from the altar!"

Chang Yu looked confusedly at the now haggard-looking Xu Jia; he was a different person from just a moment ago—should he eat him now?

But then he recalled what Xu Jia had said earlier about being able to activate a second form even after death, so he extinguished that thought, pressed against the Dharma Altar, and let Xu Jia stand on his head.

"Now that you are the acting Mountain God of Yushan, you must change your many past bad habits. You have not been recognized by the government, so you cannot have a temple. Even if the current Mountain God is toppled, it has nothing to do with you. Therefore, do you want to enter the hall to practice? In the future, I will cover you. You just saw my strength; I am currently playing the pig to eat the tiger. This is a kind of wisdom you might not understand, but just know that I am very strong."

Chang Yu very much wanted to retort that this was not "granting a proper title" at all; it was not sealing him as a dragon, but as an acting Mountain God, which was "temporary employment." If the imperial court were to appoint another one later, he would be left with absolutely nothing.

But thinking that both of his wives had already entered the hall and he himself had received the seal, whether he entered the hall or not, he was already being controlled.

He had no choice but to say: "I will enter the hall!"

Xu Jia felt secretly pleased: This round was not a loss; he had swindled a top-tier enforcer and a gold-medal fighter. In the future, not to mention other places, in the land of Yushan, I want to fight ten! No, that's Chang Yu, you want to fight ten.

However... this matter was not yet considered to have come to an end.

Meanwhile, under the altar, Miaoren, who had been prepared to sacrifice himself, was left with a look of "utter confusion."

According to the script, wasn't it supposed to be that you failed to subdue the centipede spirit, and in the end, I would be the one to bind it, become the savior of Yushan, and then become the next abbot of Dizang An and a living Bodhisattva among men?
