After hearing the mysterious man's words, Tower Spirit quickly sensed his own spirit body.
After a moment, its expression changed.
"How could this be? Just because my spirit body used the life energy of the creatures in the divine map to repair itself, does that mean I have a causal relationship with Yang Tianyi?"
The mysterious man chuckled and said, "Yes, that's right. Although Yang Tianyi can't control you for the time being, if you don't stay with him for a long time and obtain your life energy from the divine map, I'm afraid your spirit body won't survive for long."
The mysterious man's words shocked Ta Ling.
The tower spirit looked at the mysterious man, then at me, and after a moment, he said to the mysterious man unhappily: "It's all your fault. It was you who led the life energy into my spirit body. It was you who wanted to harm me."
Ta Ling stared with his eyes wide open, and his rosy little face became even redder, just like a child who didn't get the candy pill.
In fact, he did look like a child.
The mysterious man snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "What? Are you dissatisfied with me? Don't forget that the situation was critical at that time. I was not harming you, but saving you."
After saying that, a spiritual pressure suddenly emanated from above the mysterious figure.
The spiritual pressure acted on the tower spirit's body, causing his body to tremble.
Ta Ling wanted to resist, but he was no match for the mysterious man.
The spirit kept shaking, its face showing signs of struggle, and after a while the tower spirit, who still had some self-awareness, gave in.
"Senior, I know I was wrong, please take back your spiritual pressure."
Ta Ling pleaded with the mysterious man.
The mysterious man smiled knowingly and then withdrew his spiritual pressure.
His blurry face turned towards me and said, "In that case, Yang Tianyi, you should collect this tower spirit first, and then collect the Haotian Tower. We don't have much time. You should know that we are about to face more than just the Sky Demon Clan."
It seems that the mysterious man knows a lot of things.
Indeed, we have to face not only the Sky Demons, but also those Outer Space Demons. Now the Outer Space Demons have appeared in the space of the Wrongful Death City and have broken the space barrier of the Wrongful Death City.
According to Huang Feihu, the Emperor of the Underworld, the demons will definitely come to Earth.
It is said that the underworld is about to close, and they want to avoid this catastrophe. So, I don't have much time left.
If you want to live, you must go to that place of compassion.
"Yes, Senior, I respect your orders."
The tower spirit flew there obediently, with respect in its eyes.
I then performed the sealing technique and dripped my blood on the tower spirit's body.
Now the connection between us became closer, and I became the master of the tower spirit.
The pagoda spirit also taught me the method of taking over the Haotian Pagoda.
Afterwards, I chanted incantations and continuously performed Taoist formulas one after another. In an instant, the Haotian Tower shook, and our bodies seemed to be sucked away by a suction force, quickly flying out of the light film on the fifth floor and flying towards the first floor.
In just one minute, we appeared outside the Haotian Tower.
"receive!"
I let out a low roar and pointed my palm towards the Haotian Tower.
In an instant, the shrunken Haotian Tower flew into my hand, and the small tower body unexpectedly became only the size of a cigarette box.
However, the Haotian Tower is a divine artifact, and it is shrouded in a five-colored halo, which is quite magical.
I also learned how to control the Haotian Tower.
"Okay, now that you have taken the Haotian Tower, I will return to the bronze coffin first. When you reach the Resurrection Cliff in the underworld, call me. Then, I will go with you to the place where the immortal's remains are located."
"Yes, senior."
The mysterious figure trembled, turned into golden light, and sank into the bronze
Inside the coffin.
The bronze coffin shrank and turned into a beam of light and flew into the red lacquered coffin.
This change happened in just a moment.
"Master, what should I do?"
Tarling asked respectfully.
Now he is under my control. If he doesn't obey, I can kill him with just a thought. Of course, I am not a bloodthirsty person. As long as the spirit of the Haotian Tower works for me, I will take good care of him.
"Go back to the central hub of the Haotian Tower first, and come out when I summon you."
"Yes, Master."
Obediently, the tower spirit flew back into the Haotian Tower.
I put the Haotian Tower into the cloth bag.
In the distance, several black spots were coming towards me. I looked closely and found that they were Tubagen and others.
Tubagen ran over, looked at me and the small tower in my hand, and exclaimed: "Master, you actually recovered the ancient artifact Haotian Tower. This is incredible."
His mouth was so big that a rotten egg could be stuffed into it.
Hai Mingdong, Gui Wenchang and others came up to me and asked me a lot of questions.
I briefly explained what happened in the Haotian Tower. When I mentioned the Land of Compassion, the expressions of Hai Mingdong and others changed. They knew that the place must be extremely dangerous.
"Master, you'd better not go to that kind of place, otherwise it will be difficult to survive."
"Yes, Master, the ancient times are over. Now is the new world. If you want to extend your life, there must be a way. Don't you ghost-catching Taoist priests have a life-extending bead? That thing can also extend your life."
Life-extending beads
That's a good thing, but I don't have it with me now.
Besides, even if there is a life-extending bead that can extend one’s lifespan, it can only last for five years at most.
Five years may seem like a long time, but it is too short for me. Moreover, the Life-Extending Pearl has many disadvantages. After using it, I will no longer be considered a human being, but a living corpse at best. By then, my Taoism will be completely lost.
I would never agree, as a ghost-catching Taoist priest, to become a zombie.
That's embarrassing, you can't even have kids, let alone have sex with your girlfriend. Hey, of course, this is a joke.
Now that I have made an appointment with the mysterious man and the tower spirit to go to the "land of compassion", how can I go back on my word? Besides, this is also for my own good.
However, the mysterious man agreed so readily, I think he must have another purpose for entering the Land of Compassion. But what his purpose is, I don't know.
As long as I can find the ancient Bodhi tree and extend my life, I won't have to worry about so many things.
And since it is a fairy treasure, there must be a lot of good things in it. It will definitely help me improve my strength and deal with the demon clan in the future.
"Okay, stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind. Let's go. The Haotian Tower has been recaptured. Let's leave Lingyin Forest first."
"However, the stairs in Lingyin Forest that can generate pressure are quite good. The clan leaders of your several ancient races can bring their clansmen to practice here."
I reminded them. But I'm afraid they didn't need me to remind them, as they were eager to bring their tribesmen here as soon as possible.
Soon, we left Lingyin Forest.
After Tubagen, Haimingdong, Gui Wenchang, Demon King Huangqi, and Taotie Beast parted ways with me, they returned to their respective races.
I told them that time was running out and the Heavenly Demons might have already taken some action, so I asked them to intensify their training.
However, with the step that can quickly hone one's will and improve one's cultivation, the members of the several ancient races should be able to cultivate faster.
"Master, let's go back to Liujia Island too." said the Elf King Poyi.
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
Then I chanted the spell to activate the divine picture, and soon a beam of light descended upon us.
Our figures gradually became illusory, and we appeared at the top of the mountain.
And the complete map of mountains, rivers, and the country was floating in front of me.
The Elf Queen Po Yi and I descended the mountain and headed towards the Elf Temple.
During this time, a buzzing sound came out of the Elf King Poyi's mouth, and the sound spread far away.
"What are you doing?"
I asked, puzzled.
The Elf Queen Po Yi explained with a smile: "Master, I am gathering the members of our elves. The five ancient tribes have already practiced in the divine map, and we, the ancient elves, cannot fall behind. Now that the method of Yin-Yang spiritual absorption is available, spiritual energy is not a problem."
"In addition, regarding the step that can quickly improve cultivation, our ancient elves must compete with the five ancient tribes and cannot fall behind."
It turns out that this is what the Elf Queen Poyi was thinking.
That’s right. Sooner or later the elves will have to enter the divine map, otherwise it will be difficult to control them.
Soon, we arrived in front of the Elf Temple.
As soon as I flew to the top of the stone platform, I noticed that all the elves were rushing towards this side under the call of the Elf King Poyi.
Those elves already knew that I had become the master of the ancient elves, so they were quite respectful when they saw me.
"Okay, without further ado, I will now open the Divine Map of Mountains, Rivers, and States, and all of you elves can go inside."
I said so.
But the Elf Queen Poyi came close to me, blushing, and whispered to me: "Master, how about this? The area of the Ancient Sea Clan in the Divine Map is so large, and there is also the sea. Our Ancient Elf Clan members have already gotten used to living on Liujia Island. Can you use the Taoism to absorb the entire Liujia Island into the Divine Map?"
The Elf Queen Poyi’s idea is good.
After thinking about it, I said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Then, I swung my hand and the divine map of mountains, rivers, and the country flew out. Under the stimulation of my Taoist spell, the divine map continued to grow larger, and the mountains, rivers, flowers, forests, dangerous peaks and valleys on it suddenly became clear.
When we were on the top of the mountain before, I didn’t let the divine map expand, but I can try it now.
As the Taoist spells were chanted one after another, the map of mountains, rivers, and the country quickly spread outwards.
The sun in the sky shines down warmly.
But after a moment, the sun's rays were blocked by the divine picture.
All of a sudden, the entire Rokko Island became dim.
"Don't panic, everyone. The master is casting a spell to send our entire Liujia Island into the divine map." The Elf Queen Poyi was afraid that her people would panic, so she spoke loudly.
Those elves were quite obedient and stayed where they were without moving.
In about half an incense stick of time, the entire island where Rokko Island was located was covered by black shadows.
Of course, there is a lot of light in the Divine Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, and the halo is extremely bright. When it is photographed, it looks very magical.
He uttered a series of obscure Taoist spells, and rays of light and shadows immediately shot out from the divine picture downwards.
Those light shadows pointed straight downward, exerting suction on the entire Rokko Island.
However, there was no earthquake on Rokko Island, not even a slight shake.
After a few breaths, Rokko Island seemed to become illusory and slowly disappeared, as if it had melted.
The scene was magnificent and very magical.
This is also my first experience.
"Okay, master, I'll leave first." The Elf Queen Poyi bowed to me.
I nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Soon, the entire Rokko Island disappeared beneath my feet.
