Mortal Bones

Shihu Tianjun, who was also staring at the phantom without blinking, also replied without looking back:

"Why can't it count?"

Shihu Tianjun explained:

"The wild Yin gods are generally divided into three types."

"The first type is the Yin God whose intelligence has fallen into chaos and only relies on divine will and instinct to wander in the wilderness."

"This type of Yin God is the most numerous. They usually have no fixed form and cannot restrain their own divine power. They will attack any existence that has had a look or soul connection with them."

"The second type is the sleeping Yin Shen."

"Most of these Yin gods have begun to recover their intelligence. In order to get rid of the chaotic and uncontrollable state, they will choose to fall into a deep sleep and control their ghost servants in their sleep to prepare for their complete awakening."

"The third type is the awakened Yin Shen."

"The number of this kind is extremely small. Usually, there may not be even one among hundreds of thousands."

"Moreover, in the process of gradually awakening spiritual intelligence, his divine power will be restricted step by step. In addition, most of them have great flaws in spiritual intelligence, and they are the weakest among the three types of Yin gods."

"Unless it is completely awakened, its divine power will always be restricted."

"But this type of Yin God often has cultivation talents that are comparable to those of top human cultivators. They can improve themselves step by step through human cultivation methods, and finally escape the confinement of heaven's laws and walk out of the wilderness."

"As for the wolf-headed Yin God in front of Xu Taiping, he has relied on the evil god from outside the realm to complete the first and most critical step in his complete awakening - to reshape his true body."

Xia Houyou nodded with a sudden look on his face.

Xiahou Qingyuan on the side frowned and said:

"Looks like we were all fooled."

Under Xia Houyou's confused eyes, Xiahou Qingyuan continued:

"Xu Taiping must have dared to take such a big risk to go to Lingjiu Peak because he obtained the means to tame the Yin God."

"Just imagine, if he tames a few more Yin gods, he himself might be comparable to some small forces in the upper world."

"This boy is indeed nothing more than a speculator."

Seeing that Xiahou Qingyuan once again regarded Xu Taiping as a monk like himself, Xiahou You immediately rolled his eyes at him and said:

"The Yin gods can only roam in the wilderness now. What's the use of taming them?"

Xiahou Qingyuan sneered:

"Xiaoyou, you are a little ignorant."

He explained:

"Although the Yin God will be imprisoned by the laws of heaven in places outside the wilderness, it can appear in other worlds by joining the path with monks or parasitizing in treasures."

Xiahou Youdang was about to look at Shihu Tianjun on the side.

Shihu Tianjun also nodded and said:

"Although the method of using Yin Shen's power is very complicated and has many restrictions, if you can get it, it is indeed a good way to improve your combat power."

"According to legend, the Xuantan Divine General, one of the four great generals under Zhenwu, assembled an iron cavalry composed of Yin gods to sweep away the Demonic Abyss several times."

Hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan immediately snorted coldly and said:

"This Yin God, coupled with the golden elixir just now that is enough to make all forces covet, hum, it is indeed useless to start early."

"If we knew in advance that there was such a great opportunity, what would this little danger mean?"

Xiahou Qingyuan was not the only one who thought so. The monks watching the battle in the tea house and the spiritual mirror were also talking about Xu Taiping's great opportunity -

"This Xu Taiping just came to Lingjiu Peak to take advantage of his opportunity!"

"More than that? A slave of the Yin God, a pill transformed by an evil god from outside the territory, this is simply a chance to shake the heavens!"

"Now it seems that the reason why Xu Taiping risked his life to save Abbot Nagasyapa is most likely because of this great opportunity!"

"If I had known this, we should have tried it in the wilderness!"

All the monks watching the battle in the tea house showed envy and regret for a moment, especially some monks with backgrounds from aristocratic families.

Someone even shouted directly in the spiritual mirror, inviting monks from the five worlds to go with him to the Hundred Thousand Mists Forbidden Land to practice after the passages in the wilderness were reopened.

Many monks responded one after another.

Xia Houyou, who was watching Xu Taiping's climb to the summit intently, immediately sneered after hearing the discussion around him and in the spiritual mirror:

"A group of people who overestimate their capabilities only see the benefits that Master Taiping has gained at this moment, and completely forget about the dangers that Master Taiping has encountered just now."

Xiahou Qingyuan on the side also sneered and said:

"indeed."

This time the two siblings were in rare agreement.

And at this moment, Xu Taiping, who was climbing the peak in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone above his head, suddenly stopped as he was approaching the top of the peak.

Seeing this, several people on the Yuheng Mountain side felt nervous.

Because their intuition told them that something unexpected would happen next.

In fact, just as the three of them guessed, after Xu Taiping stopped, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the Buddha statues placed in the caves above.

Shihu Tianjun immediately frowned and said:

"Why is Xu Taiping staring at these Buddhist caves?"

Xiahou Qingyuan on the side said casually:

"I'm afraid I'm not planning to move a physical Buddha statue down the mountain."

What made the three of them look stiff was that Xu Taiping actually started to climb up the rock with his bare hands towards the Buddha cave, as if he really planned to take down a physical Buddha statue from the Buddha cave.

Xia Houyou immediately turned to look at Xiahou Qingyuan and said with a confused look on his face:

"Second brother, could it be that your mouth was sanctified by the Buddha?"

Xiahou Qingyuan ignored Xiahouyou's joke, but frowned, staring at Xu Taiping in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone with a puzzled expression and said:

"Why is this boy so incomprehensible to others?"

He just felt that every step Xu Taiping took after reaching Lingjiu Peak was beyond his knowledge and prediction.

If it were him, I'm afraid he wouldn't do this even if he was drunk.

But Tianjun Shihu on the side seemed to have recalled something, his expression immediately changed, and he said in shock:

"The Buddha statues in the Lingjiu Peak Buddhist Cave cannot be moved casually!"

Xia Houyou was shocked when he heard this. He immediately turned to look at Shihu Tianjun and asked:

"What's wrong, Third Uncle?"

Lord Shihu looked solemnly at Xu Taiping, who was climbing towards the nearest Buddhist cave step by step, and said without looking back:

"It is rumored that after the relationship with Buddha in the Upper Pure Realm was severed, most of the Buddha statues on Lingjiu Peak have been occupied by evil gods from outside the realm."

"If you take them out hastily, you will most likely be possessed by an alien evil god!"

"At that time, the evil gods from outside the realm have completely descended on the Shangqing. Not only Xu Taiping himself, but also the entire Shangqing world will suffer disaster!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan felt his scalp go numb and frowned:

"Why is this kid starting to seek death again!"

A cautious monk like him, after witnessing Xu Taiping's "suicide" behavior, felt as if there were countless ants crawling in his heart, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

…

Spirit Eagle Peak.

"Xu Taiping, go around this Buddhist cave and continue climbing."

When Xu Taiping was about to approach the nearest Buddhist cave, Liantong's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly, and while continuing to climb up, he asked Lian Tong in his heart:

"Have you sensed the aura of evil?"

Liantong replied:

"Yes, and it's extremely rich."

Xu Taiping's heart suddenly tightened.

Liantong continued to remind Xu Taiping:

"Xu Taiping, the situation may be worse than you and I imagined. Even I may not be able to help you completely eliminate the Buddha statue that is occupied by the evil god."
