I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

"What's going on here?!" On a mountain peak hundreds of miles away, a girl in a light yellow dress woke up.

She was sitting cross-legged on the cliff, with a long sword stuck in the ground beside her. Her eyes showed a hint of surprise as she gazed at the dark clouds gathering in the distance.

Even from hundreds of miles away, she could feel the violent power emanating from the area where lightning intertwined.

"Divine path power? No, not quite, but close enough." The girl frowned, pondering. "But I haven't heard of any Divine path seniors being here. Didn't they all enter the Sumeru World?"

Unable to figure it out, the girl stood up and held the sword in her hand.

Squinting her eyes, she looked into the distance, leaped down, and then flew up on her sword.

"To be able to borrow such vast power of lightning, this Divine path senior must be in a fierce battle. As a disciple of the Supreme Divine Palace, it is my duty to uphold justice. I should go and see if the senior needs help."

Thinking to herself, the flying sword beneath the girl's feet began to accelerate. Her pigtails fluttered wildly in the wind, and a happy smile appeared on her delicate face.

"If I can join forces with the senior, it will save me a lot of effort. When I bring that thing back, let's see how those old men dare to underestimate me."

"No, other than these rioters, it's been very peaceful here," the village chief said, shaking his head.

"The girl should know that Ming Prefecture has suffered a disaster, and many refugees have come from the north. Yesterday, these refugees attacked the village for some reason, not only robbing the families of their grain but also killing many people."

It was a mountain that wasn't very tall, without continuous mountain ranges or towering peaks, just an ordinary mountain.

"I just don't know which immortal saved our lives; otherwise, I would definitely worship them every day."

"Jingxu Temple is on that mountain. What kind of monster would dare to come here? Only these rioters have harmed many people's lives. They are even more hateful than monsters!" the village chief said angrily.

As they cleaned up the village after the chaos, the villagers who had survived the disaster began a new life. The girl with pigtails landed on the ground and put the sword back into its sheath behind her.

Her reddish-yellow eyes curiously surveyed the village, seeing only the scorched remains of the fire. The bloodstains from the night's violence had not yet congealed, and fragmented human organs were visible everywhere.

The girl found the village chief sitting idly and greeted him with a cupped fist salute.

The girl had been riding her sword all the way, but the village of Jingxu Mountain was in a mess.

The sound of sobbing echoed in every village, and everyone was plunged into sorrow.

"Are you saying that the lightning last night was to strike these rioters?" The girl was a little surprised, feeling astonished that the lightning only struck the rioters.

"You are?" The village chief saw that her clothes were exquisite and her manners and dress were not those of an ordinary girl. Seeing the long sword behind her back, he naturally understood that this girl was no ordinary person.

There were murmurs of discussion as the crowd knelt on the ground and worshiped the sky.

"Deceived by an immortal? What are you saying, girl?" The village chief said unhappily. "How could the immortal's elixir be fake! You probably don't know that many people in the village have been cured of their illnesses by the immortal's elixir! Just one pill, and they can come back to life the next day."

The raging fire was extinguished in the sudden rainstorm, and the light of dawn rose in the distance, and dawn arrived.

The entire village was like it had been looted by bandits, appearing especially desolate.

"Immortal? Elixir?" The girl frowned, glanced at the village chief, and asked softly after being mindful of her words. "Old man, could you have been deceived?"

Then he smiled kindly at the girl and told her what he had encountered yesterday.

"Yes! We still have to thank God."

The afflicted people supported each other, checking the situation of their respective homes.

"If you slander the immortal again, don't blame this old man for being impolite," the old village chief said, then turned and left. No matter how the girl tried to talk to him, he ignored her.

It must be a fake Taoist priest cheating people and swindling the villagers' money.

It's just that the tragedy has already happened, so what if they scold these rioters again? Can the dead relatives be revived?

Everyone knew this thing in their hearts, people cannot be revived from death.

"This little girl's name is Li Yunshang. May I ask, old man, what happened here?"

"Jingxu Temple?" When the girl heard this name, she looked at the distant mountain in the direction the village chief pointed.

"Yes, girl, you must not be from around here if you don't know the name of this Jingxu Temple," the village chief said with a puff of smoke, forlornly. "There's a Taoist temple called Jingxu Temple on that mountain. There lives an immortal inside. As long as the villagers take offerings to worship the Taoist Ancestor, they can get an elixir from the immortal."

Such a scene occurred in every village, which was also a peculiar sight.

"Then, old man, have you noticed any other abnormalities, such as strange things?" the girl asked.

"Didn't you encounter any monsters?" the girl asked again, unwilling to give up.

"What a sin! Why didn't God take away these heartless people sooner?"

"Damn beasts!" A villager gritted his teeth, kicked the charred corpse beside him fiercely with tears in his eyes. He felt that his emotions could not be vented, and even rushed home to pick up a kitchen knife and chop the corpse into meat paste.

The scolding continued, and everyone was filled with grief and indignation.

After the lightning stopped, everyone stood there woodenly, looking at the rioters who had been charred by the thunder.

"They are all people from the north! They suffered their own sins, but they want to harm us instead!"

"Thank you, God, for saving our lives."

How could elixirs be so easy to obtain, and just by taking offerings in exchange? The Elixir Cauldron Department had already moved into the Sumeru World, making it even more difficult for ordinary people to obtain elixirs. Even an inner disciple like her from the Supreme Divine Palace didn't have many elixirs on her.

"If it weren't for the gods opening their eyes and sending down divine thunder to strike these beasts to death, I'm afraid the surrounding villages would have suffered a calamity. Yesterday, I saw firelight rising in the neighboring Liu Family Village, which must have been attacked by thugs."

The village chief called out to the surviving villagers to check the losses in their homes. Seeing the corpses of many women and children who had died tragically, tears flowed down his old face.

"Okay, stop talking about it. At least some people survived," the elderly village chief sighed. "If it weren't for God opening his eyes and sending down lightning to strike these people to death, how many people could have survived in the village?"

"Oh, I was just joking!" The girl smiled listlessly and scratched her head. She looked at Jingxu Mountain in the distance, puffing out her cheeks involuntarily.

"I don't believe it. Let this young lady expose you and tear down your lies."

The girl swung her pigtails and flew towards Jingxu Temple in a huff.
