Chapter 287 – Temple deities
Su Yun quickly felt something strange and compared his fist with the vertical eye on his brow. He glanced at Ying Ying on his shoulder silently, without saying a word.
Seeing his aggrieved look, Ying Ying couldn\'t help but feel a little sorry for him and quickly said, "Actually, the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye doesn\'t have to be placed on the brow. It can be placed on other parts of the body as well."
Su Yun\'s heart moved. If the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye can be applied to the brow, can it also be applied to other parts of the body?
He thought about it and did it. The Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye on his brow disappeared, his bones closed, and the Winged Dragon\'s Qi in the seventy-two heavenly realms dissipated, along with the power of creation contained within it.
Su Yun secretly activated his spiritual energy and once again activated the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye. The Winged Dragon\'s Qi surged out from the seventy-two heavenly realms, and the power of creation filled the Winged Dragon\'s Qi, transforming his physical body.
This power of creation is hidden within the Qi of heaven and earth. For example, the Winged Dragon\'s Qi contains the power of creation that can transform the practitioner\'s physical body into a Winged Dragon.
Su Yun\'s Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye actually has a foundation in the old study of Yuan Shuo. "The Sensing of the Winged Dragon" is the basis of his Heavenly Eye\'s ability.
"The Sensing of the Winged Dragon" is about visualizing the Winged Dragon and sensing the Winged Dragon\'s Qi within the Qi of heaven and earth. The word "sensing" comes from the old saint\'s study.
However, the old saint\'s study did not pay enough attention to the study of material objects, so it needed the new study as a supplement. The new study focuses on the observation and visualization of the Winged Dragon, and the more detailed and realistic the observation, combined with "The Sensing of the Winged Dragon," the more the art of creation can be brought to its extreme.
Therefore, when Su Yun activated his ability, he could quickly transform his limbs into Winged Dragons, and even grow the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye on his brow.
But there is no Winged Dragon\'s Qi in the world. If he gets injured, he can only rely on his own comprehension of the art of creation to slowly regenerate his limbs, which may take ten to twenty days.
After a moment, Su Yun slowly opened his palm, and a bulging eye appeared in the center of his palm. Then the palm lines cracked open, and the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye emerged, crossing the entire palm of his left hand.
Su Yun remained silent, staring at the eye that almost occupied his entire palm, and then looked at Ying Ying.
Ying Ying hesitated and said, "How about growing it on the back of your hand..."
Su Yun angrily dissipated his ability of the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye, and then activated it again. The Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye appeared on the back of his hand.
Ying Ying scratched her head and tentatively said, "Then, can it be grown on the back of your head?"
After a while, the girl flew behind Su Yun, observed for a moment, and smiled, "Not bad... Su Scholar, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. See you later!"
Just then, Su Yun, in his anger, activated his Qi and blood. With a loud bang, the roof of the Phoenix Carriage Tower was lifted by his violent Qi. The Heavenly Phoenix let out a cry of alarm and ran away, looking back with great concern, calling out non-stop.
In the sky behind the Heavenly Phoenix, heavenly realms with a radius of several zhang opened up, and the Qi of one of the heavenly realms turned into Winged Dragon\'s Qi.
However, when Su Yun activated his ability, he divided the Winged Dragon\'s Qi and only sensed the Winged Dragon\'s eye.
Suddenly, something strange happened. Heavenly eye runes appeared in the seventy-two heavenly realms, branded on the inner wall of the heavenly eye. Supported by the Qi of the Winged Dragon\'s eye in the Qi of heaven and earth, the Qi on the inner wall of the heavenly realms gave birth to a network of nerves.
The textures formed by these Qi runes grew and extended in the air, quickly converging together.
Su Yun\'s heart moved, and he saw a huge eyelid in the center of the seventy-two heavenly realms slowly splitting apart, making the vertical eye wider and wider.
The Qi of the heavenly eye continuously surged from the seventy-two heavenly realms, injected into the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye through the network of runes formed by his ability.
The Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye became more and more real, rolling and looking around.
Ying Ying, who had originally planned to slip away, stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at this scene. After a long time, she finally realized and murmured, "Su Scholar, how did you do it?"
Su Yun was also a little confused and puzzled. "I just suddenly thought that by attracting the Qi of heaven and earth through the heavenly realms, I can strengthen the power of my ability. So I divided the Winged Dragon\'s Qi and only sensed the Qi needed for the Winged Dragon\'s eye..."
Ying Ying looked up at his Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye and felt the terrifying power surging within it.
Su Yun\'s explanation was simple, but the operation was extremely difficult. Not to mention how much knowledge is required to develop the ability of the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye, just separating the Qi needed for the Winged Dragon\'s eye from the Winged Dragon\'s Qi is enough to eliminate all the spiritualists in the world except for Su Yun and Ying Ying!
Only Su Yun and Ying Ying, who thoroughly understood the Winged Dragon from beginning to end, could keenly perceive the Qi of heaven and earth needed for the Winged Dragon\'s eye.
However, Ying Ying\'s control over Qi was far less refined than Su Yun\'s.
Su Yun\'s control over Qi was extremely meticulous, thanks to the Huang Zhong Timing, which was so sharp that it could change in an instant.
Only Su Yun could separate the Qi needed for the Winged Dragon\'s eye from the Winged Dragon\'s Qi!And the Huangzhong Divine Ability benefited from Su Yun\'s accomplishments in the old holy arts.
After Miaobi Danqing killed Wenguanshan, he divided himself into a spiritual incarnation and parasitized on a wild fox, transforming into Mr. Yehu to monitor the Tianmen Town of Tianyuan.
The ancient holy arts taught by Danqing to Su Yun, Hua Hu, and others were all incomplete. They had methods but lacked skills.
Danqing\'s ancient holy arts were derived from the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven and the three major myths of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Su Yun comprehended them for seven years, but he couldn\'t use them.
However, he laid a very solid foundation. If he were to learn the skills and methods of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, it would undoubtedly be extremely simple.
What\'s more important is that Danqing hanged his own teacher, the Confucian Sage Cen Fuzi. Su Yun was dug out of the coffin by Cen Fuzi\'s spiritual incarnation, and Huangzhong was also directed by Cen Fuzi to the Tianmen Town of Gewu.
"Su Scholar, you are about to become a god and demon."
Ying Ying looked up and saw the rune network formed by the vitality in the 72 Dongtian, connected to the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye, and whispered, "You are now like a god and demon. If there is your vitality in the world, then you are a god and demon. The reason why gods and demons are immortal is because the world is filled with their vitality, and you have already begun to master the vitality of gods and demons..."
Su Yun was stunned, not knowing why she would say that.
Suddenly, Tianfeng slowed down, and Xing Jiangmu\'s voice came, "Young Historian, ahead is the territory of Boshan County!"
Su Yun looked over and saw a blackened city in the distance. Most of the calamity fires had been extinguished, and it was shrouded in hazy smoke, turning into ruins. Occasionally, flames would rise into the sky.
Presumably, that was the Boshan City of Daqin.
In addition to Boshan City, there were many villages along the way. Boshan City had become ruins, but the villages in Boshan County were still inhabited.
Along the way, Su Yun also saw many construction factories, and the business was booming.
At this moment, Su Yun saw someone suddenly fall to the ground and twist their body in a dilapidated village. Soon, they transformed into a calamity ash monster, flapped their wings, and devoured people everywhere!
There were not many people in the dilapidated village, and cries filled the air as they rushed towards the village temple, praying for the protection of the gods and demons they worshipped. However, before they reached the temple, they were all devoured by the elusive calamity ash monsters!
Su Yun saw that besides this village, there were several other villages where people were also transforming into calamity ash monsters and devouring people.
Many spiritualists were hunting those calamity ash monsters, and some villages asked the gods in the temple to bring the deities to life from the stone statues to protect the villagers.
Suddenly, Su Yun felt his vitality depleting, and his field of vision began to shrink slowly. He couldn\'t help but be stunned, "Why can I see so far?"
Boshan City seemed very close, only thirty to fifty miles away, but because of the thick smoke and calamity fires, it appeared closer than it actually was.
In fact, those villages where the calamity ash monsters were causing chaos were about a hundred miles away from them.
At this time, Tianfeng was still heading towards Boshan City and had not passed through those villages.
The vision that Su Yun had just now was actually the vision of the Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye. He could clearly see everything happening in the villages hundreds of miles away!
"The Winged Dragon\'s Heavenly Eye is really powerful."
Su Yun\'s heart trembled slightly, dispersing the Divine Ability of the Heavenly Eye, and Tianfeng continued on its way.
As the sky darkened, the distant Boshan City emitted a dim red light. Tianfeng slowed down and entered a town.
The town had just experienced a calamity ash monster disturbance, and the villagers were gathered in a temple, inviting the deities they worshipped to descend and protect the village.
Xing Jiangmu stopped the carriage and planned to purchase some food here.
Su Yun looked towards the temple and saw that it was magnificent and splendid, with gold and silver inlaid on the sculptures of the gods and demons, extremely luxurious.
The people in the town were offering a young girl to the gods in the temple. The girl was placed on the altar, trembling.
With the prayers of the people, the statue of the god gradually came back to life, transforming into a flesh and blood body, with eyes burning with raging flames, looking at the girl on the altar, and reaching out his hand.
Just as the god was about to grab the girl, he suddenly retracted his hand and pointed outside the temple, chuckling, "The god doesn\'t want your pure girl, the god only wants that young man outside the temple! As long as you sacrifice this young man, the god will help you get rid of the calamity ash disease!"
In the temple, everyone turned their heads and looked outside.
Under the calamity ash lamp, Tianfeng lowered its head and nudged Su Yun forward, indicating that they were looking for him.
There were also many spiritualists in the towns of Daqin, and several spiritualists immediately rushed out and attacked Su Yun without saying a word, shouting, "It\'s your honor that the god has taken a liking to you. Don\'t resist!"
"Alright."Su Yun did not fight back, and was directly captured by a few spirit masters. The crowd was overjoyed, placing Su Yun on the altar and transporting him to the temple. They placed him in front of the resurrected god statue, eagerly watching the statue.
The statue had completely transformed into a flesh and blood body. Looking at Su Yun on the altar, it suddenly stepped down from the shrine, its halo swaying behind its head. It reached out to grab Su Yun, laughing, "A little devil from the Yuan Shuo..."
Su Yun was held in its palm, and the deity showed a joyful color. It opened its mouth wide and sent him towards its mouth.
Behind Su Yun, seventy-two heavenly realms suddenly appeared. In front of the realms, the eye of the Winged Dragon slowly opened, the light in its eyes converging, its power growing stronger, its might accumulating but not releasing.
The deity\'s body stiffened.
Su Yun said indifferently, "No wonder they say all gods are one. It seems that the deities eaten by Glutton are also you."
The deity\'s face turned vicious, and it bit down hard at Su Yun.
At this moment, the light from the Winged Dragon\'s eye shone brightly, a dazzling divine light shot out, and the deity\'s head in the temple exploded, leaving only a headless body!
The deity\'s hand loosened, and Su Yun landed on the ground.
The deity\'s body thudded to the ground, and blood spurted out, drenching the people in the temple who were offering sacrifices.
The voice of Xing Jiangmu came, somewhat fearful and uneasy, "Um, we\'re just passing by, could you sell us some food..."
