The month-long "dog hunting operation" is finally over.
In Lingnan, Nanjiang, Nanzhao and Cangmang Plains, all dogs with cultivation levels were killed.
From then on, except for Gouzi Xuanmo, all the canine monsters in the world became extinct.
The imperial envoy, the prince, and the deputy imperial envoy, An Nanhou, brought the carcasses of hundreds of millions of dogs back to the court with a full harvest.
Presumably, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty must have sent out more than one such imperial envoy team.
If all the imperial teams were operating like this... How would the Holy Emperor of Dayu feel when he saw the piles of dog corpses?
Xu Ke curled his lips and felt...that was really nonsense.
After sending away these nonsense "angels", peace has finally returned to all parts of the Southern Wilderness. Except for the fact that there are no barking dogs in the wild, everything else is fine.
There is another change, that is... Taixuanzong Yujing Daojun has been "promoted".
Marquis Annan appointed Yujing Daojun as the inspector of Lingnan, responsible for the affairs of the Lingnan region, the most important of which was... tax collection.
From then on, all sects in the Lingnan area, large and small, had to pay taxes.
As for Southern Xinjiang and the vast plains... what kind of shabby places are they?
It is said that there are only three Yuanying monks in the entire southern Xinjiang!
Even if three Yuanying monks refine elixirs and weapons every day, how many elixirs can they refine each year and how many spiritual weapons can they refine?
As for the Cangmang Plain... it's not as good as Southern Xinjiang. I heard that they haven't had a Nascent Soul cultivator for thousands of years.
As a result, An Nan Hou ignored Southern Xinjiang and Cangmang Plain at all.
Next, is the promotion ceremony for Taoist Taoist Master Yujing of Taixuanzong.
At the promotion ceremony, Xu Ke saw a "horrifying" scene.
The leader of Taixuan Sect, Taojun Yujing, took over the documents, official uniforms and seals from An Nanhou. His expression was filled with gratitude, fear, and loyalty to Dayu.
Is this still Daojun Yujing?
Several other Lingnan Huashen Dao Lords, not only did not feel that there was something wrong with Yujing Dao Lord, but they all looked envious and wished they could replace him with their own bodies.
When Xu Ke saw this, he quickly pretended to be envious, but he became even more wary of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
Is this the consequences of that imperial edict?
The spiritual will of a divine Taoist Lord has been twisted like this. What kind of terrifying method is this?
After Xu Ke pretended to deal with Daojun Yujing's "promotion ceremony", he no longer wanted to stay here.
After "congratulating" Taoist Taoist Master Yujing of Taixuanzong, Xu Ke manipulated Taoist Master Dayan to say goodbye and leave.
"Fellow Daoist Dayan, wait for me."
When Daojun Dayan stood up to leave Taixuanzong, the sword madman from Tianjian Palace stopped Daojun Dayan, "Let's go together!"
"Fine!"
Xu Ke controlled Dayan Daojun and nodded with a smile.
Immediately, the two of them controlled the escape light together, flew through the air, and left the realm of Taixuan Sect far away.
"Fellow Daoist Dayan, I would like to ask you a favor."
At this time, Daojun Juejian stopped and bowed his hands to Daojun Dayan.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Xu Ke nodded towards Lord Juejian, "If I can do it, I won't shirk it."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Taoist Lord Juejian smiled, "Of course fellow Taoist can do this. Fellow Taoist, please... kill me!"
"ah?"
Xu Ke was stunned, "Are you joking, fellow Taoist?"
"Of course not!"
Juejian Daojun let out a long sigh, "There is something wrong with my Dao heart. After I took over the decree, my Dao heart was polluted. I tried many ways to cleanse my soul, but I couldn't wash away that heart of surrender at all."
"I am a sword cultivator! The sword is strong and I would rather break it than bend it."
"My sword heart does not allow me to surrender to others, but I cannot wash away the pollution in my Tao heart, so I have no choice but to ask my fellow Taoists to help me in order to reincarnate and rebuild."
"I see."
Xu Ke nodded, "How do fellow Taoists of Juejian know that my Taoist heart has not been defiled?"
"Uh...I'm really not sure about this."
Taoist Lord Juejian shook his head, "I just think that Taoist Taoist Taoist heart is very firm, comparable to the ruthless Dao Tianxin of the Supreme Being. He must have been less polluted and should be quite sober."
"Is that so?"
Xu Ke nodded, "Listening to what Fellow Taoist said, you can also tell that Fellow Daoist is just a sword heart covered in dust, and it is not too seriously polluted. Maybe there is still hope. I have a method, Fellow Daoist, would you like to try it?"
At least Master Juejian Dao can still know that his mind has been distorted, and others have not noticed it yet!
He only thought that he sincerely admired Dayu and wanted to accumulate merit and get further opportunities from Dayu. He had no idea that his mind had been bewitched and his will had been distorted.
Why do the methods of this Holy Emperor of Dayu feel so unfair? It's not like the immortal way at all, it's more like the devil's way, more like the devil than he transformed into the free devil.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry!"
Taoist Lord Juejian sighed, "I've already reached the point where I'm planning to fight and reincarnate, so what else can I say? If you have any ideas, fellow Taoists, just come and use them."
"Okay! Then I'll try."
Xu Ke nodded and remotely controlled Dayan Daojun to cast "Pure Divine Light" and "Dirty Divine Light".
First use the "dirty divine light" to pollute it, and then use the "pure divine light" to purify it again.
"How do you feel, fellow Taoist? Is it effective?"
After casting a spell, Xu Ke asked Lord Juejian.
"Yes! It works."
Taoist Lord Juejian was overjoyed, "Some of the pollution in the Taoist heart has been cleaned away, and I ask fellow Taoists to continue casting spells."
"good!"
Xu Ke nodded and continued to cast clear and turbid divine light on Juejian Daojun, brushing it over and over again, constantly cleaning Juejian Daojun's Yinshen.
After brushing it thousands of times, the pollution in Jue Jian Dao's heart was finally washed away.
In the end, it was just the "spiritual pollution" attached to an imperial edict, and it was not the Holy Emperor of Dayu who cast the spell himself. Otherwise... there is no hope, just wait to die!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Juejian Taoist laughed heartily, "I have a bright pearl, but it is locked up by the dust. Today, the light is born when the dust is gone, and it shines through thousands of mountains and rivers."
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for escaping the disaster."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "After this calamity, the Taoist heart will become stronger and stronger."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for saving my life."
Juejian Taoist Lord bowed to Xu Ke and said, "From now on, if I am of any use to you, I only need a word from my fellow Taoist, and I will never refuse, even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."
Xu Ke smiled and nodded, "You know, in Lingnan today, we are the only ones who are truly our own. They... alas, their Taoist hearts are deeply polluted and there is no hope of salvation."
"yes!"
Juejian Taoist Lord also sighed, "The methods of Holy Emperor Dayu are too vicious and not the right way at all. Is this kind of evil spirit worthy of being called the Holy Emperor of Dao?"
"You just need to know this kind of thing in your heart, but you can't say it randomly."
Xu Ke made a silent gesture, "Once people know about it, they will unite to attack us rebels and take credit for our heads."
"Save it for me!"
Master Juejian Dao nodded, "From now on, the two of us have a tacit understanding. If anything happens, our two families will watch and help each other."
"That's how it should be!"
Xu Ke bowed his hands towards Taoist Master Juejian and said, "Fellow Taoist, let's say goodbye now!"
"Congratulations to Fellow Taoist Dayan!"
Juejian Daojun bowed his hand to Xu Ke very politely.
The two parted ways, and Lord Dayan returned to Yuanfu Sect.
Xu Ke withdrew his consciousness and couldn't help but sigh. Danger in the spiritual world is everywhere!
An imperial edict from the Holy Emperor of Dayu and the accompanying mental pollution can distort the will of the Shinto Lord, causing people to sink unconsciously. It is simply terrifying.
If all the countless monks in Dayu are in this state of contaminated souls...
Then, in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, there is only one person, Holy Emperor Dayu, who has true self-will, and everyone else is "puppet" who has been dominated and manipulated by his spiritual will.
It’s so scary!
What kind of fairy dynasty is this? This is a "ghost dynasty" and a "devil dynasty".
When Gouzi fought with Holy Emperor Dayu, he must have discovered some signs, and then he started fighting with Holy Emperor Dayu.
It's a pity... Gouzi's soul consciousness has collapsed, and he has no memory of these things at all.
Otherwise, you can still find out the truth about some things from Gouzi.
Xu Ke took a long breath and felt that the true face of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty was too weird and terrifying.
You must improve your strength quickly, otherwise... maybe one day, an imperial edict will fall on your head. From then on, even your own will will be distorted, and you will become a puppet who only knows "loyalty to the Holy Emperor".
"The Divine Machine, restart the Divine Machine Formation."
Xu Ke had an idea and gave an order to Shenjizi who had been "shut down" for a few days.
"The command has been received, the divine machine is restarting... The startup is completed, the self-test is completed, and all interrupt processes have been re-run."
"very good!"
Xu Ke nodded and said, "Nanzhao Heili Department, if there is any information about the Earthly Evil Qi, please submit it."
"Information on Earthly Evil Qi has been received... Alert! Alert! Remaining spiritual pollution has been found."
"Fuck!"
Xu Ke was suddenly startled, rushed out of the Five Plagues Hall, came to the altar of the great formation, and kept swiping the "clear and turbid divine light" at the core of the formation, constantly cleaning the true spirit of the divine machine.
It was not until hundreds of times that the remaining mental pollution detected by Shen Jizi was finally washed away.
Fortunately, the essence of Shenjizi is that he is a ruthless and desireless tool. Just like Daojun Dayan, it is not difficult to clean it.
The Holy Emperor of Dayu... is like a "spiritual plague", spreading everywhere.
Obviously, Li Sheng from the Heili Department of Nanzhao also participated in the "declaration" of the Nanzhao territory. Unknowingly, his soul had been polluted and his spiritual will had been distorted.
The information about the earth evil spirit that he reported to Shenjizi contained the residue of spiritual pollution.
"Shenjizi, cut off all contact with the Haili Department of Nanzhao. From now on, there will be no contact with the Haili Department."
Xu Ke sighed. Li Sheng from the Black Li Department had become a "carrier" and "spreader" of mental pollution, and was completely hopeless.
By now, Xu Ke understood the meaning of An Nanhou's words.
An Nanhou said, "You will not have such a good life in the future."
Originally, Xu Ke thought it was just a matter of paying taxes, but now it seems... This is not a matter of money at all, but a matter of distorted self-will.
Once an imperial edict is issued, spiritual pollution will continue to spread. It won't be long before all the people in the southern wasteland will be polluted.
Although the effect of these mental pollutions that have been transferred countless times will not be too strong, it is still a huge hidden danger.
An Nanhou's original attitude of laissez-faire was actually the greatest "care" for all parts of the Southern Wilderness.
From this point of view, perhaps the mental pollution suffered by An Nanhou is not serious. He is not like Daojun Yujing, who only knows "loyalty to the Holy Emperor", but has his own ideas.
At this moment, the sense of urgency in Xu Ke's heart became stronger and stronger.
If one day, everyone around him becomes a puppet who only knows "loyalty to the Holy Emperor", then the scene... how terrifying and terrifying?
"The divine machine is ready to collect the clear and turbid divine light."
Xu Ke quickly connected consciously with Shenjizi, and passed on all his understanding of the pure and turbid divine light, as well as the method of casting spells, to Shenjizi.
"The recording of the pure and turbid divine light has been completed."
"Very good! Pass a copy of the pure and turbid divine light to Gui Yuanzi."
"In addition, comprehensively monitor all disciples in southern Xinjiang and the vast plains to ensure that they are not mentally contaminated. If there is any abnormality, isolate them immediately and cleanse their minds with pure divine light."
"Instruction received and executed!"
"very good!"
Xu Ke let out a long breath. With these protective measures, he was still safe for the time being.
But... this is still treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and does not fundamentally solve the problem. Sooner or later, this mental pollution will sweep across the vast plains and southern Xinjiang.
To cure the root cause, the best way is of course to kill Holy Emperor Dayu.
It's a pity that the dogs were all maimed, and Xu Ke couldn't do this even more.
For now, there are two top priorities. The first is to improve one's own cultivation level as soon as possible, start condensing the Gang to refine evil spirits immediately, and complete the later stage of Nascent Soul cultivation as soon as possible.
After the Yuanying Dao body is tempered and the practice is perfect, the Yuanying can leave the body, become a Yin Shen, and step into the realm of god transformation. It can also develop the "Hunyuan Yiqi Taichu Divine Light", which has extremely powerful power.
On the other hand, an incarnation must be sent into Dayu.
Xu Ke still lacks all kinds of knowledge on how to follow the path of cultivation after becoming a soul. At present, the only place where you can obtain these high-level knowledge is Dayu.
In addition, Xu Ke also wanted to take the opportunity to understand Dayu's situation and understand what mental pollution is.
Through the accumulation of knowledge and research on mental pollution, we finally found a better "treatment" method than the "clear and turbid divine light".
"Clear and turbid divine light" is only effective for "mild mental pollution", but cannot cure "severe mental pollution".
As long as a "special medicine" is developed, this "mental pollution" will be just a minor problem and a spell can solve the problem.
After making up his mind, Xu Ke took action.
"Daojun Dayan, send a message to Taoist Yujing to apply for a study tour in Dayu."
"Gui Yuanzi, quickly send the collected Tiangang Qi."
Xu Ke stood up and looked up at the world around him. Five colors of glow were flowing in the sky. The surrounding mountains and rivers were vast and fertile fields were thousands of miles away. Countless sect disciples were flying magic weapons, traveling back and forth from place to place.
This is my home, this is my territory!
Anyone who dares to invade will be killed!
At this moment, Xu Ke's "rebellious heart" was clearly revealed. (End of chapter)
