  As soon as he heard this, Cheng Huan's heart sank. Sure enough, when the county magistrate heard it, his spirit was shocked, and he said: "This is great!"

  Fan Zhen burst out laughing and said, "We have already discussed with the local villagers about performing the ritual to awaken the land god. So we thought of inviting the county magistrate to preside over the ceremony!"

  Having heard this, the county magistrate was overjoyed and hastily said: "That's right, that's right. I've seen all the Confucian scholars in the county also pay respects to the Land God, so they should all be invited!"

  Fan Zhenyun nodded and said: "Right, right!"

  Listening to this conversation, Cheng Huan's heart suddenly felt like it had fallen into an icy valley, cool and transparent.

  Fan Zhen and Pan Yu exchanged a glance, smiled and said: "Then please!"

  Three people walked out of the Chenghuang Temple, and Fan Zhen suddenly put on a nonchalant expression, saying: "Alright, I think it's better to seal off the Chenghuang Temple for now. After all, it's for worshiping other gods..."

  The words were subtle, and it was unknown how many meanings they contained. The county magistrate was not foolish, and suddenly remembered some rumors. After a slight hesitation, he said: "This matter should be, I have the official seal. Just write down the note, temporarily seal the Chenghuang Temple!"

  The city god temple was sealed with a strip of paper, and the city god almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This time it's thoroughly closed, don't look at it as just a small piece of paper. With the official seal printed on it, it's like a chasm between heaven and earth. Without removing the seal, don't even think about sending out one soldier or taking one step out.

  The county magistrate also invited Confucian scholars from the county, and with a flourish, dozens of carriages set off towards Fenglai Mountain. Along the way, hundreds of villagers who had heard the news also followed, and by the time they arrived at Fenglai Mountain, nearly 10,000 people had gathered!

  Finally, they all gathered in the temple, ignited a raging fire. One by one, cows and sheep were slaughtered for sacrifice as if they were worthless, while elderly women knelt on the ground, wailing and sobbing.

  "Why should you go to the four directions, when your constant duty is to serve the ruler?"

  Abandon the place of joy for you, and leave the ominous place behind.

  Soul, return! You have no heavenly ruler.

  Soul, come back! You shall not descend into this dark capital.

  Eastward lies the great sea, where waters are deep and wide. The dragon and the serpent flow together, up and down in a gentle stream. Misty rain falls thick and fast, white and pure as glue. Alas, my soul is lost to the east...

  Soul, return! No east, no west, no south, no north.

  Soul, return! Enter the gate of cultivation.

  Soul, come back! Why so far away?

  My soul has returned! I'm back in my old home.

  Eyes gaze out for a thousand miles, heart is sorrowful and sad.

  "My soul has returned, returned to my hometown."

  This mournful melody keeps echoing, drifting in the wind.

  The mournful sound continued to spread into the spiritual realm, causing many ghostly soldiers to hear it and turn towards Liu Yi.

  Before Liu Yi's eyes, a bright mirror appeared, displaying the scene of sacrifice. One by one, oxen and sheep were slaughtered, and rolls of silk and jade discs were thrown into the fire to be burned.

  With the rolling thick smoke, it keeps drifting into the sky. Faintly visible is the boundless and vast sea of yuanqi, enveloping the entire heaven and earth, past and present.

  This is what is called the vast heaven. When the primordial energy is vast and great, it is called the vast heaven; when viewed from a distance, it appears blue and is called the blue heaven.

  At this moment, with the rolling thick smoke of sacrifice, it seems to be connected and linked up, and almost connected with the vast ocean of primordial energy.

  It evokes a mysterious and unpredictable power, spreading that soul-stirring elegy through the vast expanse of the universe.

  "This living being's willpower is truly powerful beyond imagination!" Liu Yi thought silently in his heart.

  Is the law of rotation of this vast heavenly primordial energy sea the principle? And this vast heaven itself, connected with the law, is the Great Way.

  Who would have thought that such a primitive ritual would have such power, making people see it, and even Liu Yi saw it and trembled with fear.

  At this time, even if Liu Yi is at the ends of the earth, as long as he is under the cover of the vast sky and the original energy of the universe, he can hear the call of the song.

  Liu Yi even suspected that even if his consciousness dispersed, could he still gather the scattered consciousness from the vast ocean of primordial energy through this sacrifice?

  "Master, aren't you responding to the summons of these common people?" Shentu Qi reminded Liu Yi. The other ghosts' cultivation was not enough, and they were also unrelated to the sacrifice, so they couldn't see this vast ocean of primordial energy.

  Liu Yi nodded, after all, he couldn't be too proud, so let some of the common people thoroughly lose hope, thinking that even the sacrificial rites couldn't summon Liu Yi back, and thoroughly disperse. At that time, thoroughly abandoning Liu Yi would not be good!

  Thinking of it, a terrestrial divine heart seal flew out from between his eyebrows and landed on the Ling Xiao Treasure Mirror. The original concealment was lifted.

  In the vast expanse of the primordial ocean of energy in the high heavens, something was sensed. A tremor spread out, and a massive power descended.

  This opportunity is rare! Liu Yi naturally knew that relying on his own strength, he wanted to communicate with the vastness of the universe, it was difficult again and again.

  At this moment, it is the gathering of so many villagers' wishes and sincere hearts. As the saying goes, "Sincerity can move mountains and rivers!"

  At this moment of sincere emotion, the divine spirit of the land is once again concentrated.

  However, this time, Liu Yi no longer attaches much importance to his original position as the land god.

  For the first time, Liu Yi gathered the land god position, and at that time he was still a bit confused and couldn't clearly explain what difference this divine position had with the She Shen.

  After experiencing so many things, Liu Yi already clearly knew what kind of land god position he needed.

  I hereby make a vow and pray: "With a sincere heart, I make this vow. Heaven covers all without exception, the earth carries all without omission. May I be like the earth, bearing great love to support all things!"

  It seemed to have sensed Liu Yi's wish, and the originally descending Huatian Yuanqi began to stir.

  Liu Yi fell to the ground again, and said: "The living soul is in pain, there is no peace. Mixed in the world, upside down day and night, suffering from wind knives and frost swords, the erosion of yang energy. Resentful energy rushes to the sky, hundreds of ghosts roam at night. The living people in the world also suffer!

  "I now make a vow, to establish a foundation on earth, in the underworld. May my bones rest in peace, may dust return to dust, earth return to earth, and his spirit return to the underworld."

  These two wishes are not said too clearly, it is because of its current strength, making such a grand wish. It's basically impossible to achieve anyway.

  But don't worry, as long as there is a little prototype, it's enough. Then separate the original land god and the temple god thoroughly, and expand the god position again.

  There are many subtle and mysterious places in it. It is also Liu Yi's recent experience of this great change, almost being knocked back to its original shape, only then can he thoroughly understand!

  As Liu Yi's vow was made, combined with the wishes of all living beings, the primordial energy of the universe was stirred. The fragmented and stripped land god positions were once again condensed together. Among them, the mountain god position also broke apart, stirred, and re-condensed into being.
