Chapter 981: A Thin Line Between Buddha and Demon
Naturally, Qi Xuansu was astonished.
Even Sage Qingwei had been defeated, so how could Qi Xuansu possibly fight with Izanagi with his mere Wuliang-stage cultivation?
That would be nothing short of a fool’s dream.
It would be better to wait for support from the Great Tengu and Tamamo-no-Mae. Perhaps then, a glimmer of hope would appear.
Just as Qi Xuansu was thinking this, the divine kingdom’s gateway, which had been opened earlier, swiftly shut. It seemed that once Izanagi had reforged his golden body, he had regained mastery of his divine kingdom and closed its portal, barring more Longevity-stage Immortals from intruding. Yet in doing so, he had effectively abandoned his physical body outside, leaving it behind entirely.
This made Qi Xuansu all the more pessimistic.
The Heavenly Preceptor did not reply to Qi Xuansu. Instead, another voice replaced his. “I have granted you Class-B access.”
The Imperial Preceptor’s voice carried awe-inspiring majesty, instilling fear. The Heavenly Preceptor’s voice carried benevolence, inviting closeness. But this voice was ethereal, layered with echoing harmonics, mysterious beyond measure.
Qi Xuansu was no fool. At a time like this, anyone who could replace the Heavenly Preceptor in speaking to him was surely not ordinary. A sudden realization struck him, and he asked instinctively, “Are you the Earthly Preceptor?”
There was no denial. Instead, Qi Xuansu received a reply. “From now until you depart Izanagi’s divine kingdom, you may freely access the Ghost Kingdom and summon the Three Yin Beings simultaneously.”
Qi Xuansu was taken aback.
The Ghost Kingdom lay within the Quanzhen Sect’s jurisdiction, and the Three Yin Beings were all products of the creation project.
