Chapter 54: Gathering at the Incense Temple

"This first step is considered a success, but now without utilizing the *guiyi* within the body, the clone's strength is at most about the same as an ordinary Grandmaster."

"If utilizing *guiyi*, it should be able to contend with an ordinary True Person, but it should still be able to continue to improve its strength!"

Looking at Wang Xuanji's corpse standing in front of him, someone who didn't know would think this guy had come back to life.

After all, Wang Xuanji himself was a dead-looking person, and the difference from now wasn't big.

However, Lin Feng wasn't satisfied with this. Hairs fell off the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's body one by one, and after floating slowly to the ground, they turned into pieces of paper money with evil ghosts printed on them.

"An ordinary wooden puppet can withstand thirty pieces of paper money; this True Person's corpse shouldn't let me down!"

Lin Feng picked up these pieces of paper money and then began to let the *Xiu Gui* take action to sew the paper money onto Wang Xuanji's body.

Ten, twenty, thirty, all the way to fifty; this corpse didn't have any abnormalities except for looking a bit gloomy and eerie.

"Come and attack me and try!"

Fifty pieces were already quite a lot. Lin Feng let the *Xiu Gui* stop for the time being, and then ordered this puppet clone.

"Boom—"

The next moment, Wang Xuanji suddenly swung a palm toward Lin Feng. The terrifying power and a large amount of *guiyi* power mixed together to form a small gust of wind.

However, facing Lin Feng in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven state, such an attack didn't have an obvious effect and was directly blocked by Lin Feng with one hand.

"Not enough, far from enough. This kind of power doesn't even reach the level of a True Person!"

"Continue pasting! Increase it directly to one hundred pieces!"

Subsequently, Lin Feng shook his head. Fifty pieces of paper money could directly increase the power of the corpse, but it could at most be compared to a Fierce *Gui*, about the same as Wang Xuanji's original three-eyed, four-armed evil ghost.

Soon, one hundred pieces of paper money completely covered Wang Xuanji's corpse. Lin Feng tried again, and this time the strength finally reached the level of a True Person.

Within these one hundred pieces of paper money, the *Xi Gui*'s ability was lodged, barely able to realize part of the *Xi Gui*'s ability, such as imitating and acting as other people.

As Lin Feng's mind moved, Wang Xuanji's corpse, full of paper money, began to change, turning into the appearance of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

It was just that such a change could only be said to barely change the appearance; it couldn't reach the level where the *Xi Gui* could simulate the charm or even simulate the ability.

"Passing off the fake as the real is basically not a problem. Using him to complete some relatively dangerous tasks, or acting as a thug for the Ghost Suppression Division, shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Feng circled around this puppet clone that had turned into the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and nodded slightly.

The fact that this corpse's strength could be raised to the True Person level was already considered not bad. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue increasing it, but that increasing the paper money further didn't have much significance.

"If the strength of the *Xi Gui*, *Kui Lei Gui*, and *Xiu Gui* continues to become stronger, then it can be further improved, but now this is the limit."

"After all, the *Kui Lei Gui*'s own strength is only at the Fierce *Gui* level; wanting to improve to a Fierce *Gui* is still a long way off."

Having solved one worry, Lin Feng could be considered to have let out a sigh of relief.

After putting this clone away, Lin Feng released that three-eyed evil ghost again. He couldn't think of any use for this thing, so he directly offered it as a sacrifice.

The object of this sacrifice was the *Xiu Gui*, after all, its strength had now become the weakest one.

After the sacrifice was completed, the *Xiu Gui*'s appearance remained the same, still looking lifelike, especially when it closed its eyes, giving people the feeling that it was sleeping.

It was just that the original white mourning clothes turned red because of merging with *gui* blood, and now it had merged with the three-eyed, four-armed evil ghost pattern.

Thanks to the three-eyed, four-armed evil ghost's decent strength, the *Xiu Gui* directly turned into a Fierce *Gui*.

Finally, there was the human skin scroll with the Ghost Gate drawn on it. Lin Feng offered it as a sacrifice to the *Xi Gui*.

This also caused the *Xi Gui* to undergo some changes. Lin Feng transformed into the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and savored it carefully.

"Passing through the Yinjian..."

The Ghost Gate's function was to open the gate to the Yinjian. This ability turned into one of the seventy-two transformations, "Passing through the Yinjian," on the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

Possessing this ability, Lin Feng could descend to the Yinjian at any time and anywhere, just like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in mythology.

No, here it should be said to enter the Yinjian, but Lin Feng didn't have this idea for the time being; after all, he didn't know much about the Yinjian.

Come to think of it, the current Great Sage Equaling Heaven had already mastered quite a few abilities.

Entering the Yinjian corresponded to "Passing through the Yinjian" of the seventy-two transformations, controlling ghostly fire corresponded to "Spitting Flames," manipulating corpse water corresponded to "Entering Water," the universe in the palm corresponded to "Pot Heaven," and condensing the power of a hundred *gui* could be considered "Shouldering Mountains."

Of course, this was just a vague correspondence, and the strength was also different, but these were very consistent with the *Xi Gui* playing the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

With this, Lin Feng had basically completely digested the gains of tonight. The remaining two or three incomplete evil ghosts were directly eaten by the *Tanshi Gui*.

Accompanied by the surging filthy blood on the ground, Lin Feng's figure also slowly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in the gravedigger's wooden house.

However, the paper doll shop in Luohe City was performing a different scene at this moment.

The incense maker Song Renjie invited out a special Passing-Through-Yinjian incense that the current sect leader Song Zhong had given him when he left the Incense Temple, and lit it.

Subsequently, his spiritual consciousness arrived at a dark and hazy special place.

Here, several sect leaders and elders of the Incense Temple were all in this place, but each of them was sitting cross-legged like a mud bodhisattva, motionless.

Seeing this situation, Song Renjie immediately stated his purpose: "Disciple Song Renjie has an important matter to report!"

"Speak."

"In Luohe City, the Ultimate Person took action, ghostly fire filled the sky, and strange phenomena covered the entire city!"

As his voice fell, the sect leaders and elders, who had originally been like mud bodhisattvas, instantly opened their eyes in unison.

"Is the identity of that Ultimate Person known?"

Song Zhong's gaze was sharp, looking directly at Song Renjie.

"Disciple does not know. Disciple only knows that tonight, Tattoo Sect elder Wang Xuanji took action against the Ghost Suppression Division, and disciple only sent two sticks of Soul-Guiding Incense to stir up this muddy water."

"At that time, wild *gui* were committing crimes in the city, the Divine Catchers of the Ghost Suppression Division were all dispatched, and that Wang Xuanji also seized the opportunity to take action against the Ghost Suppression Division, finally drawing out the Ultimate Person."

Song Renjie didn't dare to hide anything and immediately told the whole story from beginning to end.

"Why did this Wang Xuanji take action? This old fellow should be dying soon, right?"

The Third Elder suddenly asked. He didn't think Song Renjie had done anything wrong, just felt it was a question.

"It seems his son was killed, so he came to seek revenge. Even their outer circle in Luohe City was killed by his own hand and arranged in the Ghost Suppression Division as pawns."

Song Renjie immediately replied. He knew a little about this matter based on the intelligence transmitted by the force behind the paper doll shop.

"Hehe, this Tattoo Sect is also getting worse as they live. A True Person elder who is about to die actually dares to storm the Ghost Suppression Division!"

A sneer appeared on the Second Elder's face, clearly feeling very disdainful of the Tattoo Sect.

"Why care about him? What's important now is who this Ultimate Person is?"

"Luohe City is at most a state capital; where did an Ultimate Person come from to sit in town? If this Ghost Suppression Division has so many Ultimate Person experts, what should we people do?"

"And this Ultimate Person might be the one who broke the Five Ancestors' *gui* body last time. If it really is so, then we absolutely cannot stand by and watch!"

"Senior Brother is right. The Five Ancestors have been urging more and more urgently recently. If we still can't find the person, I'm afraid other ancestors will also..."

In this eerie space, the important figures of the Incense Temple immediately began to discuss what to do next. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
