Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1081: Chapter 12: Blood Sacrifice and Scheming (Double-Length 8,400+)

Wang Sheng, who was leading this matter, was especially so.

The implementation of the Virtual World relates to the perfection of reincarnation.

There can be absolutely no accidents.

As the matters of the Virtual World gradually got on track and a large amount of living beings’ information was collected, Wang Sheng then instructed to proceed with the next step of action.

This step, naturally, was the establishment of city temples.

Building city temples could not only earn cosmic rewards but also enhance the foundation of the planet.

For the Saint Emperors, anything concerning the path of the Dao must be done.

Once they received Wang Sheng’s formal command, the various Saint Emperors eagerly mobilized their forces to grandly construct city temples in the worlds they controlled.

Both cultivator cities and mortal cities were not spared.

Such a large-scale operation naturally couldn’t be concealed from other cultivators.

They did not know the truth, but they could guess.

The Virtual World network suddenly became lively.

“In our world, cities of all sizes are building a structure called a city temple, and it’s even hosted by those high-ranking Saints, which is too unusual…” — from the Shattering Stars World.

“It’s not just your world, our planet is doing the same. If I guess correctly, it should be that every world in the cosmos is doing this.” — from Feixian Star.

The interconnection of networks across various worlds allows beings from two worlds, no matter how far apart, to communicate instantly.

Thus, information was confirmed quickly.

“If I guess correctly, it should be the decision of that legendary Saint Emperor conference, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been no news at all before this.”

The Saint Emperor conference is how various cultivators referred to Wang Sheng’s action of sealing space at the last banquet.

Many cultivators saw it at the time.

A True Saint sealing space must be a matter of great importance.

Therefore, many cultivators paid attention.

No information was revealed.

After the Virtual World network was set up, there had already been much discussion.

“They all say it’s a very important matter, but no cultivator knows the true story. Is there finally some news now?”

“I inquired, and it seems that the city temple’s duty is to balance yin and yang. If you encounter a resentful spirit or the like, you can go to the city temple, and it will handle it. No matter what level of resentful spirit, the city temple will deal with it.”

With the construction of city temples, all factions began their propaganda simultaneously.

A lot of information was spread out.

“Not only that, it’s said that these city temples are related to reincarnation. After death, you might be able to meet the city god, who will lead the souls into reincarnation.”

“Reincarnation, isn’t that something from legends… now it’s blatantly brought to light?”

“Legend, remember the ’Reincarnation City’ mentioned in the cosmic messages? Reincarnation may not necessarily be just a legend. Let’s not even mention us; those top-tier experts must want to figure out what reincarnation is all about. Perhaps these city temples are their means of probing!”

“Probation? A narrow view. Perhaps this so-called reincarnation was established by top-tier experts, like that Thirteen Realms Lifeless True Saint. Otherwise, don’t you think the timing is too coincidental?” This comment carried a bit of a joking tone, so not many paid attention. The being who made the comment might not have realized they were close to the truth.

Time slowly passed.

City temples became more numerous, and at the same time, all kinds of information became clearer.

For instance, some city temples might choose highly respected individuals to serve as city gods, and the more profound their merits, the stronger the suppressive effect.

Moreover, the more vibrant the Incense Fire Faith, the better the protective effect.

Though Wang Sheng had provided a certain solution for resentment.

It’s not omnipotent, as not every place has cultivators with secret techniques.

If one encounters resentment, one can only wait for assistance.

With the emergence of city temples, even though the city gods hadn’t been fully appointed, quite a few places offered mortal devotions.

The Incense Fire Faith was quite thriving in many places.

Mostly, it’s about praying for safety.

There were, of course, other requests as well.

The city gods were not assigned, so this incense faith was directed toward the underworld, ultimately reaching Wang Sheng.

“Even before truly executing, there’s already so much incense faith. After all, this could be considered the ’state religion’; it’s not very surprising. If that’s the case, prepare to fully appoint city gods in some areas and get the city temples operating.”

The effect of establishing city temples was better than Wang Sheng had imagined.

Some matters could naturally be advanced.

The majority of city gods need to be selected from the worldly, but city gods for critical places can only be drawn from the underworld.

“I wonder how the Star Beasts are doing…”

The last time he established the Reincarnation Channel, perfected the reincarnation, and the cosmos granted rewards.

He received the largest share, and the Star Beasts, who held yin positions, were naturally the same.

After receiving the rewards, all the Star Beasts fell into slumber to breakthrough.

After he broke through, he also checked, at that time the Star Beasts had not yet awakened, still in slumber, improving their cultivation, so he did not interfere much.

Now that he had dealt with all affairs, he wondered about the situation.

Thinking of this, his thoughts turned to the underworld.

“As expected…”

He looked toward the underworld.

Star Beasts in slumber, but that doesn’t mean the underworld isn’t operating.

Wang Sheng had anticipated this before his breakthrough, so he had set things up simply before his breakthrough.

If the Star Beasts were in slumber, the underworld would operate on its own.

Now, the underworld was indeed operating autonomously.

Countless souls, according to the predetermined program, passed through the Ghost Gate, and then faced the final Judgement.

Along the way, there were evil souls who noticed the absence of Ghost Messengers and attempted to cause trouble.
