Episode 108: The Yellow River Water God, Bull Zodiac!

  "You—" At the words, Fang Lin suddenly felt a surge of anger, but at this moment, he didn't dare utter even half a word of disrespect. The cultivation world was not like the secular world; it had its own laws and constraints. This was purely a world where the strong were revered, and whoever had the strongest martial power had the right to speak. Clearly, when facing the two people in front of him, he didn't have that qualification.

  The old Taoist saw the situation and hastily spoke out: "Sir, please don't get angry! It's all my fault for not understanding things, I've offended you, I'll apologize on his behalf, I hope you can forgive him and not hold it against him."

  "You're not bad for a little Taoist." Li Yan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I'm not a demon king who kills at will. I just gave him a lesson to let him remember it well. Although Dragon and Tiger Mountain is the orthodox school of Taoism, there are some people who can't be provoked casually."

  "Yes, yes." The old Taoist didn't dare to utter a single word of refutation at this moment. Just now, Li Yan's sudden move was brief, but the power that burst out in an instant was incredibly strong, and it absolutely belonged to an existence above the Scattered Immortal realm. His 70-80 years of bitter cultivation had only reached the peak of the Yang Spirit realm, and he still didn't have a glimmer of hope to transcend the Lightning Tribulation and achieve the Scattered Immortal realm.

  Li Yan no longer paid attention to the two of them, turned his head and said to Hai Ruti: "Let's go now, it's getting late. The later at night, the heavier the evil spirit of the Taurus constellation will be. We must suppress that Taurus constellation before breaking the evil spirit, otherwise, once the evil spirit condenses into shape, it won't be easy to deal with."

  The sea is like the sky, and I was fortunate enough to witness a not-so-intense battle between cultivators. Still in shock, it wasn't until Li Yan spoke up that he came back to his senses, wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead as he hastily replied, "Alright, alright." After what had just happened, he finally understood that this Mr. Li was no ordinary person. For now, after the initial shock, he felt a lot more at ease, with such a powerful deity watching over them, at least Yu Yun's illness shouldn't be too serious. Once the matter of the Golden Bull God statue is resolved, his family can live in peace.

  Three people got up, just about to set off, Li Yan suddenly turned his head back. He calmly asked: "Little Taoist, are you two coming? This time is an opportunity to witness the true divine spirit with your own eyes."

  The old Taoist heard this and hesitated for a moment before responding, "Thank you, sir, for reminding me. I, Zhang Zhenwu, will definitely remember it in my heart." Meeting with the divine spirit is an opportunity to gain insight into many profound aspects of cultivation, and for cultivators, it is indeed a significant event.

  "Let's go."

  Five people followed Hai Ruten to a large hall, which was over 100 square meters in size. The hall was decorated with temple furnishings, and in the center of it stood an altar table. On the table was placed a golden bull statue that was about three feet tall.

  Although it looks like just a lifeless object, at this moment, the five big living people facing the golden bull statue all felt an inexplicable chill that was hard to suppress. The strength of that ominous aura was really not trivial, and even Li Yan, a top-notch master, felt his heart racing with fear.

  In comparison, Kuang Tianyou, being a zombie, was in the best situation. As a type of zombie, he could absorb the evil spirits, resentful spirits, filthy spirits and various negative powers between heaven and earth, which were all divine abilities of zombies. Therefore, although the golden bull evil spirit rushed to the sky, it had little impact on him. On the contrary, waves of evil spirits were continuously absorbed by Kuang Tianyou, entering his body and becoming his power.

  Li Yan let Hai Rutian exit the villa first, then he rushed towards the golden bull statue in front of him and pointed at it from a distance. Suddenly, a bright green light burst out from his finger, gathering from all directions into a circular mirror that appeared before everyone's eyes, shining with a clear and dazzling light.

  "Nine You Ten Earth, Xuan Guang Mirror Open!" A light drink from his mouth, and the round mirror suddenly expanded with the wind, unfolding like a painting scroll. In an instant, it grew to the size of a wall, suspended in mid-air before everyone's eyes. A virtual empty light flickered, connecting the Golden Bull God image. Suddenly, a mysterious light slowly emerged from within the Xuan Guang Mirror, and then the mirror became transparent inside and out, revealing every detail.

  Li Yan waved his hand, and in an instant, countless strange and bizarre images flashed out. In fact, with Li Yan's divine power, if he wanted to explore the small world hidden inside the Golden Bull God statue, he only needed to open his Heaven Eye to easily do so. However, if he wanted to display everything he saw to everyone present, it was not possible. Therefore, he had to go to great lengths and exerted the divine power of the Mysterious Light Mirror.

  Mystic Mirror, sounds mysterious, but in fact it's just a matter of manifesting what you see into the void. However, the required magical power is enormous, so the threshold for casting this spell is to have a cultivation level above that of a scattered immortal. Otherwise, if someone with insufficient cultivation tries to use it, even if they succeed by luck, they will be drained of their true yuan and turned into a dry corpse, which is truly miserable.

  This technique is not considered a top-notch divine ability, but in his previous life, Li Yan often used it, so at this moment, he didn't feel awkward using it. With a flick of his wrist, the technique was executed smoothly, and after a while, the scenery in the large mirror suspended in mid-air changed, finally stabilizing into a strange and unusual space.

  Inside the vast and profound mirror, a faint water light is visible, suspended high up as if in the sky. Below it lies an empty space that stretches out endlessly without bounds. However, only one spot in the center of this space can be seen: there is a gigantic golden bull with four hooves lying on the ground, its entire body covered in long green fur, and two horns protruding from its head.

  This golden bull is so enormous and boundless, its body lying like a high mountain on the ground, undulating and stretching for hundreds of miles. Even the hairs on its body are like giant trees rising into the sky. From afar, it looks as if the Bull Mountain is covered with dense golden forests.

  "This is the legendary Bull Zodiac, indeed worthy of being a legendary deity!" At this moment, Old Daoist Zhang Zhenwu couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

  But Fang Lin, who had been shouting to suppress the evil spirit just before, saw the scene in the Xuan Guang mirror at this moment, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. His facial expression changed instantly, and he was shocked to the point of being pale.

  Ancient legend has it that the Bull Zodiac is one of the twenty-eight stellar gods, and among all the heavenly gods, it is considered a relatively powerful existence. A god like this, which has fully condensed into form, must have received incense offerings for at least over a thousand years, gathering the spiritual thoughts of the world to become a deity. Once formed, its power is formidable, and ordinary scattered immortals below the fourth tribulation will have to make way.

  "What a huge cow! This guy's strength is formidable, don't underestimate him!" Li Yan was also startled when he saw such a massive creature, but fortunately, he had seen even bigger ones before, so he didn't think much of it.

  At this moment, the golden giant cow lying on the ground in the mysterious light mirror suddenly shook its body, flipped over and got up, looked up at the sky and let out a loud roar: "Moooo!"

  Accompanied by a mighty roar, the enormous body almost filled the entire void, growing larger and larger, nearly covering the entire surface of the Xuan Guang Mirror. A mountain-like cow head slowly moved, its eyes emitting two intense beams of light that swept back and forth through the void.

  Li Yan saw this and couldn't help but furrow his brow, "This Golden Bull has been worshiped by people for hundreds or thousands of years, gathering the spiritual energy of the world, and has already taken shape with a divine body. But I don't know why it would attract such a large amount of evil energy into its body, turning a good deity into an evil one!"

  "Who? Who? Which one is peeking at Ben Shen?" In the small world inside the statue, the golden bull jumped violently like thunder, its eyes suddenly turned bright red, and a loud roar kept coming from afar in the mysterious light mirror. It was as if nine days of thunder were rumbling, just like several explosions had been set off in mid-air, shaking people's eardrums buzzing.

  That roar had just fallen, and the golden bull's pair of blood-red eyes were staring straight at a point in the air, which was exactly where Li Yan's Xuan Guang mirror was displayed. Apparently, with just a short sentence, this terrifying Golden Bull God Spirit had already found the location of everyone present.

  "Ah!" With a single glare from the Golden Bull Spirit, Fang Lin's heart and gall were already shattered. He couldn't help but let out a loud cry as he fell to the ground, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. At this moment, he had become completely disoriented, and was probably even unaware of where he was.

  Kuang Tianyou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "This golden bull's power is so strong, I feel like I'm completely no match for him."

  "Nonsense!" The old Taoist Zhang Zhenwu sighed, "This is truly a divine spirit! Since the collapse of the Heavenly Realm and the disappearance of the Heavenly Court hundreds of years ago, divine spirits have become extremely rare in this world. I've been cultivating for decades, and this is still my first time seeing a true divine spirit!"

  Li Yan spoke calmly, "Even if it's a divine spirit, it's just an incomplete semi-god who hasn't fully succeeded. Don't be fooled by its majestic appearance, in reality, it's not as formidable as you think. At most, it's equivalent to an ordinary three-tribulation scattered immortal. The only problem is that the causal connections on this guy's body are quite significant, making it difficult to kill."

  As they spoke, the golden bull had already begun to wreak havoc in the small universe within the statue. Its mouth kept shouting: "This deity is the Yellow River Water God, who are you? Quickly break open the statue and release this deity, and when the time comes, this deity will fulfill all your wishes!" With a loud crash, it actually used its two thick and unusually large horns on its head to violently collide with the void above, apparently wanting to use its brute force to smash through the barrier of the small universe and charge out.
