the stream water was turbid, and various suspicious objects floated and sank within it from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, half a demonic monk, or monsters wearing Daoist robes but with the heads and bodies of beasts, as well as some \"new species\" that looked like stitched-together monsters, never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From these things, one could catch a glimpse of what experiments the Supreme Good True Person was conducting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Old Buddha Temple area is for the Six Thieves, offerings, and Buddhist charm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The monsters in the True Lord Temple mountain area should be similar to those demonic Daoists of the 'Three Saints Gang';

It was fellow Daoist Qing Nü who asked me to come here to welcome you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the ravine gathers various filth, the Qi contains deadly poison. If you fly across directly, there is a possibility of being poisoned. Please walk across this talisman bridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him say this, plus his extremely obvious characteristics of a registered Daoist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the four did not doubt him and crossed the river one by one via the talisman bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once across, they all saw clearly that this was a young Daoist with an ordinary appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this very Daoist, upon coming up, extremely generously pulled two Daoist scriptures from his robes, handing them over while saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two scriptures are the 'Supreme Good True Lord's Exposition of the Dao' and the 'Supreme Good True Lord's Record of Subduing Demons.' They sound good, but in reality, they are both records of the cruel experiments conducted by that old devil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, after flipping through them, you can trigger and directly complete a side quest: [The Mystery of the True Lord Temple's Destruction].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both scriptures were collected by fellow Daoist Qing Nü alone and gifted to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The four of you, hurry and read them; you can earn one thousand merit points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this registered Daoist named Xu Liu finished speaking, the four of them revealed smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three, including the young nun, were joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Li Yu, he had a few other thoughts:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are the reincarnators of the Orthodox God Sects all this united and helpful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they are all like this, the Demon Star Order side might as well commit mass suicide; there is no way they can win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu smiled faintly on the surface, but deep down, he did not believe it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, after observing intently, he began to confirm his own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhou Bai and Sun Quan were both happy, there was more surprise and astonishment in their eyes... Furthermore, when they first met, if the young nun hadn't seen the clues and taken the lead, the two of them likely wouldn't have chosen to share... And during that first Trick Domain conquest, although Wen Feifeng sacrificed teammates to a limited extent, it was still a sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thing was the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xu Liu also emphasized: it was that powerhouse who had a friendship with the young nun who asked him to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However!\" \"Even if there is a reason for everything, the overall level of unity among practitioners of the Orthodox God Sects is still far beyond that of the evil cultivators who love to scheme against each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose this is why the hegemons of this world are those six Orthodox God Sects, rather than the countless evil god sects within Ten Thousand Fortunes City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu's thoughts continued to churn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands, however, did not delay in the slightest; if he could get a side quest for free and earn one thousand merit points, why wouldn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu took the two scriptures in order and flipped through them, just as the sound of the Reincarnation Heavenly Net rang in the minds of the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, however, was the cold and murderous sound of the Demon Star Order:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations to the Order Master with the code name 'Calamity Star' for completing the side quest: The Mystery of the True Lord Temple's Destruction, and obtaining one thousand merit points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme Good True Person was once a Sequence 6 [Yellow Court Spirit Official] of the Heavenly Lord path. He cultivated for many years at the Green Sheep Palace in the Qian Kingdom, but later realized he had no hope of advancing to the next sequence and could not attain longevity, so he voluntarily fell into becoming a demon and began traveling the world, seeking methods to obtain power and longevity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this, he did not hesitate to risk offending the major sects to excavate the ruins and tombs of past high-sequence powerhouses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After returning to Mount Zhangyi, he manifested the Supreme Good True Lord, one of his three avatars. With the help of an unknown existence and using the common people at the foot of the mountain as experimental subjects, he successfully researched the technique of human-demon fusion, gaining extraordinary power and greatly extending his lifespan, changing from a short-lived species to a long-lived one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From this, he concluded that his cultivation was complete, formed a Dao Fruit, bloomed a Dao Flower, and with great joy, offered it to the Vast Heaven, hoping to seek the Vast Heaven's forgiveness and at least allow him to cross multiple sequences to directly attain the position of Heavenly Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This act was rejected by the Vast Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Shu_Ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme Good True Lord therefore went mad and began a massacre, leading to the destruction of the True Lord Temple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words were similar to the first settlement, but Li Yu instantly discovered something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the young nun and the other two also noticed the contradiction and exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Liu looking over in confusion, the young nun Miao Chang said directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Qing Nü is so kind, but we won't take it for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have also collected and completed a side quest: [The Mystery of the Old Buddha Temple's Destruction], which we can use to exchange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Xu, once you finish reading these three scriptures, you will know why we are surprised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The registered Daoist took them as requested and finished reading them quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, his brows furrowed, and he asked in confusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the old devil to be able to cultivate three paths simultaneously is something that should be impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if it could be done, he would have had to abandon his original path twice in succession—for example, first being a registered Daoist of my Vast Heaven, then abandoning it to turn to the Four Directions Traveler of the Buddha, and finally abandoning that to cultivate the Ancient Sage path... Only then would there be a glimmer of possibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But according to these settlement words: it is clear that there are two, no, perhaps three [Supreme Goods] existing simultaneously, each cultivating one path, and finally coming to this Mount Zhangyi together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this is the case, it contradicts the background of the Trick Domain when we first entered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great mystery was immediately placed before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu did not speak, but he already had a guess in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The three mountain areas of Mount Zhangyi should each have a decryption side quest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all can be triggered and completed, perhaps there will be a special reward, or it will be directly merged into a new main quest: [The Mystery of the Mount Zhangyi Trick Domain's Destruction], [The Truth of the Supreme Good True Person's Dao Attainment], or something similar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could guess it, and the other four were not stupid; they all thought of it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young nun Miao Chang's snow-white face even showed a look of pleasant surprise; she clapped her hands and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a special main quest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard from several high-sequence predecessors in the [Qian Capital Great Group] that in some Trick Domain spirit realms, besides the regular main quests, there exist special main quests that require reincarnators to decrypt bit by bit.
