Chapter 38

A large golden ship flew out from the gate of Shenshao Dao Mountain, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards the Bai Zhang Mountain in the State of Qingqiu.

This golden ship carried five disciples from the five peaks of Shenshao Dao. Zhu Ganglie sat at the stern, quietly observing the other four people on the golden ship.

At the bow of the ship, the one commanding the golden ship was a true disciple of Shenshao Peak named Li Luo, who had condensed a Second Rank Golden Core.

In Shenshao Dao, any disciple who condensed a Third Rank Golden Core could become a true disciple and enjoy various benefits from the sect.

This golden ship was the Dharma artifact of this senior brother, called the Pure Yang Golden Boat, a powerful Dharma artifact with seven layers of restrictions, its power was evident.

On the left side of the Pure Yang Golden Boat, a woman in a cloud and mist-colored robe, holding a green flute, was Senior Sister Ruxia from Yvnü Peak.

Next to her was Senior Sister Aoxue from the Sword Head Sect, dressed in white, with a stunning appearance, and carrying a purple longsword, giving off a graceful and heroic aura.

However, this senior sister exuded a cold and piercing aura, making people hesitant to approach her.

On the right side of the golden ship was Yin Taixi from Tian Gu Peak, wearing black mystic clothing, with a gentle and slightly weak appearance.

He held a golden box in his hand, which contained the divine soul of his senior brother Qu Gai.

Among the people on the golden ship, Li Luo was at the Golden Core stage, while the other senior brothers and sisters were at the Possession stage. Although they were at the same stage, their strengths varied.

After all, everyone practiced different Dharma techniques.

After glancing at these senior brothers and sisters, Zhu Ganglie stopped thinking and began to circulate the Ice Spirit Light Technique, absorbing the cold ice energy of heaven and earth to condense Ice Spirit power.

Li Luo steered the golden boat, leaving a golden trail in the void as it quickly headed towards the State of Qingqiu. The State of Qingqiu and the adjacent State of Zhuzi were both protected by Shenshao Dao; otherwise, they would have been flattened by the endless ferocious beasts and demons.

After three days of full-speed travel, the Pure Yang Golden Boat had traveled nearly a million kilometers and arrived at the Bai Zhang Mountain in the State of Qingqiu.

This Bai Zhang Mountain lived up to its name, a massive mountain towering between heaven and earth. At the foot of the mountain was a small town with tens of thousands of people and various villages.

"Junior brothers and sisters, I will go and investigate the spirit vein of this Bai Zhang Mountain. Everyone prepare to build the divine temple."

After arriving at the Bai Zhang Mountain, Li Luo scanned the vast mountain and directly flew down.

Zhu Ganglie knew that the divine temple must connect to the spirit vein to nourish and strengthen the divine soul. Otherwise, before achieving a divine position, the divine soul would become weak due to the loss of a large amount of soul power, and might even dissipate.

With this spirit vein, Qu Gai could also maximize his power and control the demons and monsters on the Bai Zhang Mountain.

After a brief wait, Li Luo flew up from the deep mountains, floating in the void, and dozens of lightning-infused Dharma powers flew out from his body into the mountain.

Immediately, a streak of light shot out from the Bai Zhang Mountain, forming a long bright line.

Zhu Ganglie's eyes were fixed on this long line of light, understanding that this was the spirit vein of the Bai Zhang Mountain. The light indicated that although the spirit vein was weak, it was also substantial, sufficient for Qu Gai to condense his divine soul and strengthen his divine body.

"Screech!"

Just as Li Luo was altering the spirit vein, a series of loud screeches echoed from the mountain, and countless black shadows flew out, trying to stop Li Luo from altering the spirit vein.

After all, the spirit vein was the foundation for the creatures on the Bai Zhang Mountain to cultivate. With the help of the spirit vein, these creatures could cultivate better.

Zhu Ganglie understood this more clearly than anyone else. The Zhen Gang Sect and the Taiyin Sect each occupied a spirit vein on the Piaomiao Mountain to establish their sects, and they also competed for the third spirit vein.

When these mountain spirits and wild monsters attacked, no one on the golden ship, except for Yin Taixi who was protecting Qu Gai's divine soul, made any move. The other few people immediately stood up and looked over.

Although these mountain spirits and wild monsters were not very strong, with some not even reaching the Out-of-the-Cave stage, their numbers were too many to be underestimated.

Moreover, since Qu Gai was to be deified here, they also needed to intimidate these mountain spirits and wild monsters to make them fear and submit.

However, when they looked over, they saw no action. Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie touched his nose in frustration.

It seemed that these people were waiting for him, the junior brother, to take action. After all, in their eyes, these mountain spirits and wild monsters were not worth their effort.

Zhu Ganglie stepped out of the golden ship, floating in the void. The Ice Spirit Banner transformed into a large white banner, and as it fluttered, countless white snowflakes floated around him, gently spinning.

These white snowflakes had a visible six-sided shape, beautiful and magnificent, but also extremely terrifying.

Each snowflake contained a cold and icy energy, capable of easily freezing hundreds of meters of land and splitting a Manifestation stage powerhouse.

These snowflakes circled around him, creating a dreamlike barrier that no one could penetrate to approach Zhu Ganglie's body.

"Go!"

Zhu Ganglie shook the Ice Spirit Banner again, and the snowflakes floated gently but swiftly, reaching the black mass of mountain spirits and wild monsters in an instant, enveloping them.

As the snowflakes danced, these mountain spirits and wild monsters turned into ice sculptures, shattering into pieces.

In a blink, all the mountain spirits and wild monsters in the sky were eliminated.

After killing these mountain spirits and wild monsters, Zhu Ganglie infused a Dharma power into the Ice Spirit Banner.

Instantly, the banner expanded, floating high in the sky, and countless snowflakes drifted towards the tens of kilometers of the Bai Zhang Mountain, covering it in a world of ice and snow.

Any mountain spirits and wild monsters that showed any movement were instantly frozen.

This display of power made the mountain spirits and wild monsters on the Bai Zhang Mountain immediately terrified, and they dared not make any further moves.

It was now mid-July, and the small town at the foot of the mountain was startled by this phenomenon, looking at the Bai Zhang Mountain in shock.

"Junior brother, you have some skills!"

Zhu Ganglie's display earned a nod from the other four people, and Li Luo smiled and said.

At this moment, he formed a hand seal, completing the connection to the spirit vein.

"Junior brother Zhu Ganglie has intimidated the mountain spirits and wild monsters. The other junior sisters, follow me to create the Spirit Gathering Formation and build the divine temple!"

Li Luo shouted, and several Dharma powers were infused, shining in the void. Ruxia, Aoxue, and Yin Taixi also took action, different forms of Dharma power slowly intertwining in the void, forming a large Spirit Gathering Formation.

"Ha!"

After a moment, a light-colored formation in the shape of a Bagua formed in the void. With a shout from the four people, the formation directly sank into the ground below.

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie analyzed in his mind. It seemed that for a common divine soul to become a deity, not only was it complicated, but it also required a lot of effort. Without the support of a sect, it would be difficult to achieve.

After the formation was completed, Li Luo, Ruxia, Aoxue, and Yin Taixi each threw out dozens of golden laborers, who landed on the mountain and began building the divine temple.

Zhu Ganglie watched these busy golden laborers with a sense of wonder.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie's expression, Ruxia, who had finished her task, smiled and said, "Junior brother Zhu, you have just joined the sect and have been busy cultivating, so you might not know about these golden laborers."

Zhu Ganglie immediately understood that this senior sister was going to guide him. He showed a look of seeking advice and said, "Junior brother has been in seclusion since joining the sect and does not understand these things. Please, Senior Sister Ruxia, guide me."

"Hehe, it's also boring, so I'll tell you. The golden laborers are not a big deal.

When cultivators reach the Manifestation stage, they can manifest their form through objects. However, ordinary objects only have a form and no real power.

Cultivators will refine some manifesting objects to enhance their combat power and handle some tedious tasks.

Each major sect has its unique manifesting objects. In our Shenshao Sect, they are the golden laborers. When refined, they have some basic intelligence and can act without human control.

They can also be infused with Dharma power and divine souls.

Don't underestimate these things; they have considerable strength. Moreover, when refined in large numbers, they are like having countless avatars."

As Ruxia spoke, Zhu Ganglie understood the role of the golden laborers. He realized that these golden laborers were not much different in strength from the powerful spirits he had refined.

However, the golden laborers were easier to refine and had fewer requirements.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Zhu Ganglie bowed in gratitude.

"You are quite respectful. Senior Brother Yinghuo is aloof and rigid, and your Second Senior Brother is impulsive and rebellious. The three of you are quite interesting. Here is the talisman for the golden laborers. After you practice it, you can gather the golden essence of heaven and earth and refine the golden laborers."

Ruxia smiled lightly and then transmitted the method of refining the golden laborers to Zhu Ganglie.

Seeing this method, Zhu Ganglie bowed to Ruxia and then walked to one side to start refining the golden laborers.

The construction of the divine temple below still needed some time, so he decided to refine the golden laborers.
