Shadow's psychology is too active. This phenomenon is related to the fact that his spirituality is too mottled. After exploring the mirror world, Tao Tie finally understood the difference between the sacrificial system of the Millions of Mountains' ancestors and the god-priest/warrior system of this strange world. The basis of the former's practice is essence, energy and spirit, while the basis of the latter's practice is spirituality. What is spirituality? The nature of the true spirit is spirituality. Therefore, whether it is the ancestral spirits or gods of this strange world, if they want to achieve success, they must first shed their physical bodies and walk the world purely as spirits. The spiritual body wraps around the spiritual nature and, being tempered by the spiritual force, will gradually transform from virtual to real. In this process, the phenomenon of "spiritual manifestation or alienation" will occur. The so-called manifestation means that the spirits of ancestors or gods believe that they look like what and what powers they have, and they manifest according to this "belief". The so-called alienation means that believers who believe in ancestral spirits or gods believe what the ancestral spirits or gods look like and what powers they have, and then they mutate according to this "belief".

The Qingshui River God originally had the image of a human body with a snake's head. After years of preaching at the Qingshui River God Temple, believers finally formed the understanding that after Qingshui River God was upgraded to Qingshui Dragon King, he would grow into a five-clawed white dragon. Only then did Qingshui River God hold a ceremony to worship him for his upgrade. Who knew that he was ambushed by the twenty-one ancestral spirits first, and then plotted against by some gods in the Pantheon, so that the alienation was not thorough enough. This is why the current situation has arisen where the five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon are competing for the position and dominance of the Qingshui Dragon King. However, no matter how divided the dragon soul and the white dragon are in their fight, their spiritualities are relatively clear and stable, not as superficial as the shadow. Tao Tie carefully observed Shadow's spirituality and discovered the reason. The shadow came as a spirit, which contained not only his own spirituality and spiritual power, but also more than a dozen spirit puppets! Each spirit puppet is firmly bound by the spiritual thread of the shadow spirit. The action of force is mutual and both ends of the line are fixed. The spiritual thread did bind the spirit puppet, but it also pulled at the spirit of the shadow. If these spiritual threads were pulled in one direction, even if they couldn't cut the shadow's spirituality in half, they might be able to tear off a piece of it. Therefore, in order to ensure spiritual integrity, the distribution of these spiritual lines tends to be even. That is to say, pulling from multiple directions, the overall force reaches a balanced state. "Hmm...if the number of spirit puppets continues to increase, or if one or more spirit puppets are strengthened, this evenly balanced state will be broken." "The mildest consequence would be schizophrenia, and the most serious one would be death." "Are all the people in the Heroic Spirit Society walking on a tightrope like this?" "Or is the method this guy was taught too low-level?" Tao Tie pondered in his heart. I immediately thought that the latter possibility was more likely.

After all, this guy's inner voice showed that he was not even a deacon. Generally speaking, the status of a deacon is only higher than that of an ordinary member, or at most higher than that of an elite member! Just when Tao Tie made his judgment, Shadow took action quietly. One after another, invisible and intangible spiritual spores scattered out from Shadow's hands. The water flow could not wash away the spores. The spores are extremely tiny in size and have a very low presence. If Tao Tieruo hadn't been paying attention to Shadow, it would have been difficult for him to notice anything. This is especially true when the five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon are fighting fiercely. If nothing unexpected happens, even though Shadow's strength is much lower than that of the Four-clawed White Dragon, it is possible that the conspiracy will succeed. "Accidents always happen." Tao Tie muttered to himself and carefully retracted the spiritual awareness that was emanating from outside. Then mobilize all your strength to hide your presence. Part of the power of Taiyi Xuanzhu can be used, but Tao Tie thought about it and suppressed the idea. Wait until you have a better understanding of this strange world and a deeper understanding before considering the use of Taiyi Xuanzhu. For now, let’s focus on this drama of the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind. Under the equally sublimated [Clairvoyance], the figure of the Pantheon's messenger, the golden-armored birdman, was hidden in the moonlight and sneaked into the Qingshui River Water Palace. In Tao Tie's perception, the golden-armored birdman at this time had the strength equivalent to that of a second-grade cultivator. This is different from what was perceived in the evening. But don't worry too much. It is normal for strength to fluctuate. Weapons, status, blessings, etc., any slight change will have an impact. The golden-armored birdman sneaked into the water palace, originally heading directly for the dragon soul and the dragon, but unexpectedly he discovered the existence of the shadow along the way. The five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon did not notice the shadow because they were fighting a life-and-death battle and could not care about anything else. In fact, the shadow is not hidden very well. Or to be more precise, the hiding place under the Qingshui River was not done well enough. The flow of water can reveal a lot of information. The golden-armored birdman turned quietly and came quietly behind the shadow. He was so focused on how to deal with Qingshui Longjun's shadow that he didn't notice anything.

The birdman clenched his right hand with five fingers spread out, and his palm was facing the back of Shadow's head. Suddenly, an extremely strong spiritual fluctuation broke out. Two golden lights, one large and five small, spurted out from the palm and five fingertips of the golden-armored birdman and penetrated deeply into Shadow's head. "You scum of the Heroic Spirit Society! Why don't you just stay in your rat hole and dare to come out and cause trouble?" The voice of the golden-armored birdman immediately sounded, his tone full of contempt. The five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon immediately stopped fighting, put aside their grudges, and supported each other to face the golden-armored birdman. "what!!!!!" Shadow's extremely painful screams echoed throughout the Qingshui River Palace. His spirituality was suffering an extremely severe impact. The spiritual threads that bound the spirit puppets collapsed first, and the spirit puppets gained freedom. Hatred! The spirit puppet is full of hatred towards the shadow that created and enslaved it! Each of them would rather endure the damage from the beams of light released by the golden-armored birdman and attack the spirit of shadow. During this process, the true nature of the spirit puppet was fully exposed. Tao Tie’s judgment was not wrong. It is indeed similar to the combination of Taoist military techniques and Yanshi puppets, but it is biased and has gone astray, and is not the right way. Even the ancestral spirits that have been eroded by the will of millions of mountains cannot compare to them. Shadow is a ruthless person. Being attacked suddenly and knowing that it would be difficult to escape, they decided not to try and just die together. Even if I can't drag someone down with me, I'll still make the enemy bleed. The flying spores suddenly activated. Within the coverage area, all spiritual things took root. Once it takes root, it immediately absorbs spiritual power or spirituality and grows wildly. The golden-armored birdman was not careful for a moment and a few spores fell on his wings. He successfully cleared them away by exerting his spiritual power for a few times. The five-clawed dragon soul entered a virtual state and avoided the attack of the spores. The one who was most seriously injured was the four-clawed white dragon. After all, Shadow's main target of attack is it, and he wants to refine it into a spirit puppet. Nearly a million tiny spores took root all over the body of the four-clawed white dragon. If you want to transform into a dragon, you must have a spirit and a body.

That is, the close combination of the spirit and the flesh and blood. The spores are highly targeted to the four-clawed white dragon and are extremely lethal. No matter how you roll, you can't clear it quickly. The five-clawed dragon soul hesitated for a moment, but finally took action and helped the four-clawed white dragon. Although I have never heard the saying that brothers quarrel with the strong while defending against external insults, I still understand the principle. The messenger from the Pantheon came so sneakily, obviously he has no good intentions! After killing the scum of the Heroic Spirit Society who had sneaked into the Water Palace at some point, they will be the next ones to deal with. Or rather, Ryu-kun Shimizu! The scene of the five-clawed dragon soul helping the four-clawed white dragon made Shadow die with regret. The golden-armored birdman was also unhappy. Disdainfully brushing aside the dead shadow that was left with only a few remnants, the golden-armored birdman looked at the five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon that were ready for battle. He was in no hurry to take action, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the scum of the Heroic Spirit Society could still be of some use." After sighing, the golden-armored birdman focused his attention on the four-clawed white dragon and sneered, "Should I call you Qingshuihebo or Qingshuilongjun now?" The four-clawed white dragon snorted in displeasure: "I am the Lord of the Clear Water Dragon." The five-clawed dragon soul a little further away didn't make a sound. The golden-armored birdman said disdainfully: "A dragon king who can't even subdue his own soul?" The four-clawed white dragon suddenly became angry: "What exactly do you want to do? What is the meaning of the Pantheon sending you out?" The golden-armored birdman's face turned serious. "Don't you know clearly what I want? You ask even though you know the answer! As for the mission assigned to me by the Pantheon, I have completed it." This refers to the appointment of Qingshui Longjun and the restriction of his authority. It vaguely revealed that the union of the twenty-one ancestral spirits and Qiao Mao's appeal were all pushed by the golden-armored birdman. The four-clawed white dragon snorted in dissatisfaction: "You birdmen really like to play dirty." The golden-armored birdman was not angry about this, but instead felt that it was a compliment. Never use hands to solve things that can be solved with the brain. This has always been the principle of this god race. After venting some of his emotions, the four-clawed white dragon asked sternly, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by sneaking into my water palace? If you don't want to fight with us, just say it directly." Upon hearing this, the golden-armored birdman immediately looked at the five-clawed dragon soul. Not surprisingly, the five-clawed dragon soul responded to the four-clawed white dragon's words with concrete actions. For the dragon soul and the white dragon, no matter who becomes the Qingshui Dragon King in the end, they will not completely perish, but their sanity will be suppressed. At that time, Qingshui Longjun was essentially a collection of them. Therefore, facing the golden-armored birdman, the dragon soul and the white dragon always kept in step with each other and never gave him any chance to take advantage. The golden-armored birdman secretly sighed, "It's a pity," he said directly, "The Pantheon Conference is about to be held. We, the gods, hope that you, the gods of the earth, will not hold on to old ideas and resist the expedition plan."

Upon hearing this, the four-clawed white dragon sneered and said, "The All-Gods Conference? What a bullshit conference! Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going. As for the expedition that you, the gods, are advocating, I don't care what other gods think, but I will never leave Qingshui River!" The face of the golden-armored birdman darkened a little, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The expedition plan was formulated by Ziwei Tianzun. You, the earth gods, have been deeply cared for by Ziwei Tianzun. Do you want to betray Tianzun's kindness now?" The four-clawed white dragon glanced at the golden-armored birdman with disdain: "What are you talking about Ziwei Tianzun? The one who takes care of us earthly gods is Zihui Tianzun. If Zihui Tianzun was still alive, he would never agree to any expedition plan and devote the power of the whole world to help one person fight for the throne!" Different road non-phase plan. The golden-armored birdman found that he could not persuade the four-clawed white dragon verbally, so he immediately gave up trying to persuade it and instead resorted to physical persuasion. A war suddenly broke out. The golden-armored birdman, outfighting two at a time, actually completely suppressed the five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon. Tao Tie watched the battle silently. As he saw more battles and the levels became higher, more of the power and principles of this strange world were revealed, and more of Tao Tie's strength was unlocked. Especially the golden-armored birdman's solo battle with the dragon soul and the white dragon gave Tao Tie an intuitive understanding of the so-called gods and gods of this world. The god of heaven is the god of the sky and stars, and the god of earth is the god of the earth's veins and mountains and rivers. No wonder the gods in heaven responded positively to the expedition plan formulated by the so-called Ziwei Tianzun, while the gods on earth were too lazy to pay attention. The reason is that the gods in heaven can leave at any time, but the roots of the earthly gods are difficult to abandon. After realizing this, Tao Tie divided his attention into two things: one was paying attention to the battle and analyzing the rules, and the other was thinking about the information revealed by the golden-armored birdman's previous words. "Ziwei Tianzun?" "This title is very close to Emperor Ziwei." "If that legend is true, after the Great Ancestor of the Dayong Dynasty ascended to heaven, he found that the throne of the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei was vacant, so he sat on it himself, or overturned the guy who sat on that seat before and took his place, then..." "Then the expedition that this Ziwei Tianzun wants to go on must be to the Dayong Dynasty!" “Although the imperial court has not publicized it too much, whether in the human world or the netherworld, the true ruler of the Dayong Dynasty has always been Taizu.” "In other words, the Dayong Dynasty is the foundation for Taizu to secure his position as the Great Emperor of Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei." "The so-called Ziwei Tianzun in this strange world doesn't have a foundation as solid as Taizu." "We were able to come up with an expedition plan but failed to unite all the forces." "If Taizu said that he wanted to invade this world with the whole dynasty, who would dare to object?" "I think those semi-independent forces of Taoism and Buddhism will give their full support!" Thinking of this, Tao Tie collected his thoughts. The dragon soul and the white dragon could not withstand the suppression of the golden-armored birdman, and no longer separated into two individuals, but actively merged together. Neither side tried to decide on a mentally dominant leader before the fusion. Leave everything to natural selection.

The golden-armored birdman did not try to stop it, but watched the fusion of the five-clawed dragon soul and the four-clawed white dragon, and then shouted, "Qingshui Dragon Lord." After the fusion, the five-clawed white dragon let out a loud dragon roar: "I am here, birdman, die!" Unexpectedly, the golden-armored birdman took out a gourd from somewhere, uncorked it, and pointed it at the Qingshui Dragon King. An overwhelming force of rules emerged. The Qingshui Dragon King, who was circling and roaring just a moment ago, was sucked into the gourd without any resistance. The golden-armored birdman slowly plugged the cork, shook the gourd, and said with a smug smile: "Hey, how can you just agree when I call you?" "Do you really think that I've gone to so much trouble to prevent you from getting promoted?" "It's because you, the gods of the earth, are stubborn and refuse to agree." "Since you don't want to drink my toast, then drink the penalty wine." "Wait for me to take you back to the Pantheon, and then you can be my mount!" (End of this chapter)
