The Corpse Soul Realm collapsed, the three Corpse Ancestors and the fierce beast Houn were suppressed, bringing a catastrophic blow to the Jiang Clan. Perhaps a few stray cats and kittens still wander about the Primordial World, but they can no longer stir up any trouble!

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately sacrificed the "Heaven Suppressing Coffin," intending to refine the True Spirits of the three Corpse Ancestors and the fierce beast Houn into ashes with the "Burial World Divine Fire."

"Second Brother, hold on a moment!"

Seeing this, Xuanqing quickly spoke: "Could we only refine their Primordial Spirits? Their physical bodies are even stronger than those of the Great Witches of the Witch Clan. It would be somewhat regrettable to turn them into ashes just like that. I would like to try and see if I can refine the three Corpse Ancestors into Protecting Dharma God Generals for our Xuan Sect! Please grant your permission, Second Brother!"

"Granted!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, and the power of the Heavenly Dao appeared instantly, forcibly extracting the True Spirits from the physical bodies of the three Corpse Ancestors.

Within the Xuan Sect, there indeed were methods to craft Protecting Dharma God Generals and Daoist Soldiers, such as the Yellow Turban Strongmen, Fire Dragon Soldiers, etc., mostly crafted from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

However, it wasn’t impossible to use the physical bodies of the three Corpse Ancestors for crafting, as they were Innate Sacred beings in life, and their bodies could be considered a kind of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

He knew Xuanqing always had imaginative ideas and thus didn’t stop him, but warned: "The three Corpse Ancestors might still have remnants of the Curse Demon God’s techniques on them. Be extra cautious when you refine them!"

The methods of the Chaos Demon Gods are unpredictable and mysterious. Even after he had used the power of the Heavenly Dao to investigate, he couldn’t guarantee that the opponent had no hidden methods left!

"Yes!"

Xuanqing nodded quickly: "Don’t worry, Second Brother, I have the Innate Thunder Pool, which is the most effective against such evil spirits! If there are any problems, I will seek help from my master promptly!"

He was indeed very cautious!

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with satisfaction, then immediately transferred the True Spirits of the three Corpse Ancestors and the fierce beast Houn into the "Heaven Suppressing Coffin," mobilizing endless Heavenly Dao forces to burn them with the "Burial World Divine Fire."

The Tongtian Sect Master, seeing this, also activated the "Six Soul Banner," writing the names of the four on it and immediately using the boundless Evil Qi as kindling to burn their True Spirits!

The combined forces of the two Heavenly Dao Evil Treasures quickly turned the strange Curse Power to ash. Sensing this, the Heavenly Dao granted additional Heavenly Dao Merit.

The scale of merit this time was far less than when the Tongtian Sect Master annihilated the remnant soul of the Curse Demon God, but with more participants, everyone received a touch of merit!

The Chan Sect disciples were overjoyed.

And even the core disciples of the Jie Sect couldn’t help showing a hint of a smile.

Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master gave a few instructions and then left with Nanji Daoist, Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding, and several other direct disciples of the Chan Sect.

"Third Brother, take care!"

After Yuanshi Tianzun left, Taiching also nodded slightly, reminding the Tongtian Sect Master a few words, then, riding on a green ox with Xuan Dou, they left!

On the Jie Sect’s side, the Tongtian Sect Master led Daoist Duobao, Jin Ling Saint Mother, Zhao Gongming, and Wudang Saint Mother back to Golden Turtle Island.

Xuanqing and Yunxiao, who held divine positions in the World of Darkness, returned on their own to the World of Darkness and continued to assist Emperor Shangqing in managing the affairs of the World of Darkness.

...

Mount Tai.

With the help of his Ghost Dao Avatar, Xuanqing didn’t need to do everything personally. Upon returning to the Yin Yang gateway, he immediately began to attempt corpse refining without hesitation.

No!

To craft Protecting Dharma God Generals!

As a revered Saint’s direct disciple and rightful member of the Xuan Sect lineage, how could he possibly desecrate corpses?

"Taiyang Fire!"

While Fire Dao Avatar guarded the corpses of the nine small golden crows, it extracted a strand of the origin of Taiyang Fire from their corpses, meaning that if Fire Dao Avatar possessed it, Master Xuanqing possessed it as well!

The corpses of the three great Corpse Ancestors, being the ultimate in yin and evil, were immune to common Innate Divine Fires. Only the most firm and yang Taiyang Fire could take effect.

Subsequently, Xuanqing offered up much Geng Metal obtained from East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang, refining it into liquid, and with specific techniques, integrated it into the physical bodies of the three great Corpse Ancestors.

"Earth, Water, Fire, Wind!"

Suddenly, Xuanqing seemed to have an epiphany: "These four great Corpse Ancestors, Jiang Chen is of Earth, Hou Qing is of Water, drought spirit is of Fire, and Ying Gou emanates an aura of the Wind Great Dao, precisely corresponding to the Four Symbols of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind! Is it the work of natural evolution, or is it because of the Curse Demon God?"

At that moment, he felt some regret. If only he had kept Ying Gou’s physical body, with the four great Corpse Ancestors gathered, would there have been some peculiar reaction?

However, this sense of regret lasted only for a moment before dissipating completely!

"How can everything in this world go exactly as one wishes?"

Xuanqing shook his head and said: "Human desires are never satisfied; having the physical bodies of three Corpse Ancestors to refine into Protecting Dharma Divine Generals is already an immense blessing!"

As he cast spell after spell, the yin evil qi on the three Corpse Ancestors dissipated, bursting forth with endless golden light, with an implicit sense of golden metal circulating!

The Geng Metal, after being refined, directly formed armor and adhered to their bodies, making them appear regal and formidable, no longer bearing the sinister sensation of the past.

"It’s not suitable to call them Corpse Ancestors, nor is it appropriate to call them Yellow Turban Soldiers; let’s call you Netherworld Daoist Soldiers then!"

After much deliberation, Xuanqing finally gave them a new title. He incorporated numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Although he used the Xuan Sect’s method of refining Yellow Turban Soldiers, he also integrated some of his understanding of the Ghost Path. Now, the three great Corpse Ancestors had the strength to rival Daluo Golden Immortals!

Far superior to ordinary Yellow Turban Soldiers or common Daoist Soldiers, they were not to be compared.

With a thought, the three Netherworld Daoist Soldiers quietly disappeared into the void, alongside the Three Pan Hu holding the firmament, to help him suppress the gates of the Yin Yang Two Realms!

Of course, during the refining process, Xuanqing did not forget to extract a strand of the Divine Fire Origin from within the drought spirit and handed it over to the Fire Dao Avatar "Sui Fire" for refinement.

Not long ago, by combining Fire Dao of Daluo Heaven and Thunder Dao of Daluo Heaven with the "Void Seal" and "Sky Flipping Seal," he gained insights into the "Fire Emperor Seal" and "Thunder Emperor Seal" respectively, achieving rapid progress in understanding these two Great Daos. However, because the "Sui Fire" was inherently weaker than the "Innate Thunder Pool," the power of the "Fire Emperor Seal" was much less than that of the "Thunder Emperor Seal."

In fact, his insight into the Fire Great Dao was not weak, having already refined several Innate Divine Fires such as Taiqing True Fire, Yuqing True Fire, Upper Pure True Fire, Burning Sky Purple Fire, Washing Karma Golden Fire, and Taiyang Fire!

However, the foundation of Thunder Great Dao was too profound, with not only the "Innate Thunder Pool" but also several dozen Innate Divine Thunder origins imprinted within the Thunder Pool.

Compared to it, the Fire Great Dao was somewhat inadequate, certainly more than just one level weaker.

However, with the experience of refining myriad thunders, his plan to refine myriad fires has become much easier, and it is not impossible to refine the Fire Origin!

This time, he did not take much time to successfully refine the "Drought Extinguishing Divine Fire."

And just as he took out countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with the Shouyang Red Copper previously gifted by Taiching Laozi, preparing to refine a protective treasure for himself, he sensed an uninvited guest outside the World of Darkness.

"Xi He!"

To be precise, it was not the true form of Heavenly Empress Xi He, but a Good Corpse she had severed!

Clearly, the other party also knew that this was the gateway to the World of Darkness, and fearing that Houtu might directly deal with her, Xi He descended to Mount Tai with a Good Corpse to seek trouble with Xuanqing!

Yes!

Seeking trouble!

This time, Xi He was completely different from her previously gentle demeanor, her aura of sun and moon power rippling around her, causing the surrounding void to tremble endlessly.

Xuanqing speculated that the other party had most likely heard about the resurrection of the nine small golden crows!
