Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 111 - 95: Divine Soul Dao, Lord of Tai Mountain Prefect (Part 2)

Incense is toxic, this is the first taboo in the Divine Soul Dao, everything in the world is balanced, where there is gain, there is also a demand.

The cultivators of the Incense and Candle Divine Dao receive offerings from countless households, cultivate by borrowing wish power, and transform their divine souls step by step, but karmic force becomes like a bone-attached maggot, constantly entangling the cultivator, and divine dao cultivators will also be coerced by followers.

On one hand, their temperament changes drastically, and on the other hand, the power of belief is their foundation. Once their belief is swept away, they become like rootless duckweed, eventually disappearing into smoke and clouds, far from the singular power of the Path of Cultivation, which comes more truly.

In the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, there are examples of divine dao cultivators exploring and eventually becoming trapped as mountain gods, earth gods, river gods, and the like.

Zheng Yi doesn’t even need to consult the literature; he has heard of it before, and there are annotations in the jade scroll of the Five Viscera Temple Feeding God Technique and the notes of successive ancestral masters, indicating that although this cultivation method is extremely mysterious and ancient, it has significant shortcomings.

Its merits and demerits are very evident, so if future generations want to cultivate it, they must be extremely cautious and think it through before proceeding.

Zheng Yi himself is also an expert at manipulating souls, most familiar with the Dao of Souls, so he understands the importance of this caution.

All things are interconnected; although he hasn’t cultivated the Incense and Candle Divine Dao before, he knows very well that the power of belief is a double-edged sword, it can both fulfill the path of the divine dao and be a form of constraint.

It can help a person’s divine soul transform, but it also ensnares them by believers, with both sides generating karma, which is where karmic force lies. So the statement that incense is toxic is not just empty talk; for divine spirits absorbing incense power, this is also the greatest flaw.

This karmic force is different from the killing karmic force; it is the power of many believers’ wishes, which will reshape the cultivator’s divine soul. The longer the cultivation, the more it is like a seed germinating, ultimately polluting the self.

The cultivator’s divine soul is no longer their own but is reshaped by karmic force, evolving towards the divine spirit expected by believers. The higher the cultivation, the more easily the original mind falls, and finally, one is no longer oneself, becoming a completely different form.

It can be said that this incense power has both good and bad; if one can eliminate the impure karmic force and directly absorb the pure wish power, it is definitely a rapid way to transform the divine soul.

However, as of now, there is no good method, at least not in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm. Otherwise, this ancient path of becoming a god through incense would have already prospered, rather than being nearly forgotten, shelved, and almost disappearing.

"If with the mysterious golden light of the golden seed, can it purify the ’karmic force’ of the incense?!"

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Zheng Yi’s mind, clearly realizing something.

The golden seed originated from the Doomsday World, and to this day he hasn’t figured out what kind of powerful force it truly is.

It’s similar to the power of merit legend in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, but not entirely the power of merit.

But one thing can be proven, that it is a powerful purifying force, capable of purging the evil qi, karmic force from the body, with extremely significant effect.

This has also been a key to Zheng Yi’s rapid advancement; he is not afraid of the accumulation of evil qi, karmic force in his body, because from the beginning, those remaining evil karmic qi were all dispelled and vanished, leaving the body pure and transparent, the dao foundation solid and sturdy.

"If looking at it this way, could the golden seed also disperse the poison of incense? And it should also be able to eliminate the karmic force within belief!"

Zheng Yi pondered back and forth, clearly a bit tempted, although there was no precise answer, it was an instinctual belief that the golden seed hidden in the sea of consciousness should be able to eliminate the poison of incense.

If this is the case, then this Five Viscera Temple Feeding God Technique would be of great help to him, so he decided to give it a try.

Of course, Zheng Yi could not conduct this experiment in the Great Yi City Immortal Realm; cultivators are not so easily fooled, and the connection between mortal dynasties and cultivators is very close, with even the dynasties being supported by cultivation forces in the background.

Zheng Yi therefore planned to place this experiment in the Doomsday World, where everything is already riddled with holes, allowing Zheng Yi to wreak havoc freely.

...

In the Doomsday World, heaven and earth have drastically changed, rules have collapsed, and the world is in a state of primitive chaos.

People have long abandoned the beliefs from before doomsday, urgently needing some kind of belief to replenish them.

Daily, even in the settlements governed by Zheng Yi, many residents work hard to numb themselves, because in days of despair, they see not a shred of hope; lacking belief, they become muddled and aimless.

Only when people see hope will they display a positive and progressive attitude, and belief, undoubtedly, is also a kind of hope. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This is fertile ground for Zheng Yi’s preaching and experimentation.

Soon, at the end of a bustling street in the settlement, a temple was erected, enshrining a deity named Lord of Tai Mountain Prefect, said to ensure peace.

At the summit of Tai Mountain, the most supreme of the Five Mountains, the Tai Mountain God is not only one of the highest mountain gods but also the great god governing the life and death of all things between the Two Realms of Yin and Yang.

The Five Mountains Tai Mountain belongs to Blue Star, there is certainly none in the Doomsday World, just Zheng Yi borrowing its name. Zheng Yi recalls that in many places on Blue Star, there are festivals worshipping the Lord of Tai Mountain Prefect.

During the opening of the temple, the scene was extremely lively.

Many from the upper echelons of the settlement came, even the guards wore red armor as blood warriors.
