Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

The Half-Step Immortal split the heaven and earth and set up a spirit-banning barrier, prohibiting those with high cultivation from entering, in order to protect the people in the area.

Later, more and more people came to live in the barrier.

The Half-Step Immortal would maintain the barrier once every hundred years. With the breakthrough of his cultivation, he would even force back several major families with a smile and expand the coverage of the barrier just to protect more ordinary people.

The people were grateful and built temples in his honor.

The range bounded by the barrier is called the mortal world by cultivators.

The Mortal Realm has been modified and maintained many times and has become what it is today.

Thousands of years ago, when a half-step immortal was about to die, a golden light of merit descended upon him, and he stepped on the thunder tribulation of the flying immortal and ascended to heaven. His true body merged with the heaven and earth, and he became the protector of the heaven, forever guarding the continent.

The barrier was abolished and replaced with a legal prohibition, which was suspended above the mortal world.

From now on, the cultivation of all high-level cultivators who enter the Mortal Realm will be suppressed below the Vein Condensation Stage, and those who kill indiscriminately will be immediately expelled by the ban, or even wiped out.

Qi Wu Yue was apparently at the third level of the Condensation Vein Stage, but once he entered the Mortal World, he was directly suppressed to the third level.

Level three, and a level three mage.

Any demon in the Condensation Vein Stage could kill him instantly with just one move.

Qi Wu Yue simply felt like life was hopeless.

Impulsive.

You shouldn't just grab any exchange point you see.

He thought that the Mortal Realm and the Huo Feng Sect were not far away, so he could just deal with it along the way.

The two of them got a white crane from the Spirit Beast Garden and it took them two days to reach their destination.

It will take four days to go back and forth, and the competition for resources will officially begin the day after tomorrow, but fortunately the competition will last for ten days.

Qi Wu Yue narrowed his eyes. It’s okay. I can catch up.

We will try to complete the tasks in the Mortal Realm within two days, leave three days for Huo Fengzong's tasks, and the remaining two days will be for the competition.

There was a loud thunderstorm outside the temple, and everything was gray. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, with no sign of stopping.

Can't wait any longer.

Xiao Lin looked at Qi Wu Yue and said, "I will go to Piyang Mansion to hand over the academy mission first, you——"

"I'll wait for you here." Qi Wu Yue said immediately.

"Okay, I'll go there and come back quickly."

"Take the umbrella." Qi Wu Yue threw the green jade umbrella to him.

Piyang Mansion is the residence of immortals stationed in the mortal world. It is also the highest protector of the mortal world, responsible for communicating with foreign countries and supervising all matters concerning laws and regulations in the mortal world.

They enjoy privileges under the ban, and their cultivation is less suppressed. The Lord of Piyang Prefecture can even reach the level of Sealing Spirit Stage.

Qi Wu Yue narrowed his eyes. The task on the jade token was to eliminate evil spirits.

How could evil spirits appear in the mortal world for no reason?

He looked back at the stone statue behind him.

The dilapidated stone statue was tilted, with only half of its body remaining, and the light in its palm flickered.

The material of the stone statue is very common, just hard stone that can be found everywhere.

Evil and interesting.

Although ordinary people may not have great cultivation, they have strong faith.

It has been countless tens of thousands of years since any cultivator in this world ascended to heaven.

It’s not that there aren’t people with extraordinary talents, but… they are unable to ascend.

Therefore, when the lifespan of a powerful being in the immortal stage comes to an end, it really comes to an end.

Unable to ascend, unable to break through, the only thing he could do was to disappear into the immortal world and become nutrients for the heaven and earth.

Spiritual power is taken from heaven and earth and returns to heaven and earth.

The five thousand years of lifespan in the immortal stage seems endless, but when that day really comes, no one is willing to accept their fate.

He was only one step away from becoming an immortal, but he could only watch helplessly as he was unable to break through for the rest of his life.

There has been only one exception in these thousands of years.

Half a step to immortality, half a step to becoming immortal.

Obtain half of the immortal power from heaven, live with heaven and earth, and enjoy endless life.

The Half-Step Immortal was able to gain a glimmer of hope at the last moment of his life and break through the shackles of immortality because he had been kind and caring to mortals for thousands of years and had accumulated a large amount of faith and merit.

So, although these mortals look very small and insignificant like air, the huge amount of accumulated mental power is still very terrifying.

Killing people at will will add to your karma. When you have too much karma, you will be in great danger of death when you break through the heavenly calamity.

Normal cultivators would never be so desperate as to seek trouble for themselves. Only ghost cultivators who are destined to be punished by heaven and earth would not care about a little more or less punishment from heaven.

The so-called evil spirits are definitely not cultivators, and ghost cultivators cannot enter. After some calculations, they can only be wild spirits and monsters.

What about stones, flowers, plants, or broken wood? If the material itself is good, and it is born with some spiritual power, and it accidentally enters the mortal world, it will gain a lot of faith power by chance...

While Qi Wu Yue was thinking, he suddenly raised his eyes and became a little alert.

Although his cultivation was suppressed, the power of his spiritual awareness would not be affected in the slightest.

Someone is coming in this direction.

His steps are weak and his movements are slow. It's not Xiao Lin, but someone in the mortal world.

In the heavy rain, a middle-aged man in gray-brown coarse cloth clothes and a bamboo hat was walking forward in the rain with difficulty.

Through the dense rain, he saw the temple not far away. His eyes lit up and he quickened his pace.

The middle-aged man walked into the temple with wet traces of water on his body, looking at the dilapidated stone statue as if it was his only hope.

Taking off his bamboo hat, the man took out a bunch of grapes that were still dripping from his arms with trembling fingers, walked quickly forward, wiped the plate and the altar vigorously with his sleeves, and placed the bunch of bright purple grapes on the plate as an offering.

He stepped back a few steps, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the stone statue more than a dozen times before crying, "I beg the Half-Step Immortal to show up and remove the evil spirits from the village so that I can find my child."

Qi Wu Yue behind the stone statue had a strange expression on his face. He raised his head to look at the crooked statue with only the upper body left.

Is this thing a half-step immortal?

Not to mention that it can't work, even if it really works, seeing this image will make your eyes dizzy.

After the middle-aged man cried and kowtowed for a while, he knocked his head on the ground for a long time and began another long narration.

What about how his wife died early and how hard it was for him to raise the child alone, and how obedient and smart the child was.

Qi Wu Yue stared at the bunch of grapes intently.

It is purple, round and of great quality.

He folded his arms and walked lightly out from behind the stone statue. He took out the cushion that had just been put away, sat cross-legged on the table, and reached out to pinch a grape.

The grapes are of excellent quality, with a faint glow in the purple color.

Strange.

It actually has some spiritual power.

Extending his other hand, Qi Wu Yue lowered his eyes and slowly peeled the grapes in his hand.

"When my son started school at the age of five, the teacher praised him, saying that he could recite a poem three times and was very smart. He was the little literary star of the village..."

"Please pray for the immortal to bless him, to keep him safe and sound, to save him from the evil spirits... and to reunite our family."

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came from above my head.

"Bah! You're offering such bitter grapes to the gods. Aren't you afraid that the gods will be angry?"
