I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 928 - 447

The culpable god Simao left very unwillingly.

He shouldn’t have met Kong Ren or gone to Jianghuai.

Above the void, the stove god with a red face and serpent whiskers, born with three eyes, silently turned around.

However, the stove god’s build was extremely large, surrounded by two dragons, one blue and one red, making it hard for Xu Qing to ignore!

The stove god, sneaky and furtive, had just turned around to raise his foot and escape when he heard Xu Qing’s voice behind him.

"Where are you going? Looking to find the Celestial Emperor to report me or searching for the Dharma Master? Why not take me along?"

The stove god, whose complexion was tinged red with darkness, and whose face was broad and wide, turned around.

Behind him, Xu Qing had already lifted the great axe, while the Lady Bao Sheng’s image rose to a hundred zhang in height; the diffuse incense smoke was no weaker than the stove god’s peak period multicolor incense smoke taken to the upper realm.

However, the stove god’s multicolor incense smoke was accumulated from the incense gathered by the stove gods of the world, each coming from different origins, leading to impure incense smoke, thus forming multicolor gatherings.

While the incense smoke of the divine Lady Bao Sheng before him was singularly pure; the reason for this phenomenon was only one, that the other party was the sole venerable god monopolizing a region’s incense!

The axe shadow, enhanced by incense smoke, came crashing down, and the stove god, without any hesitation, decisively self-destructed, transforming into countless fire sparks and disappearing.

Xu Qing furrowed his brows.

Compared to the obstinate four culpable gods, the stove god before him was clearly much more adaptable.

At a certain moment, the stove god, hidden and unseen, again transformed into dots of fire sparks, quietly appearing behind Xu Qing, condensing into form.

He wielded the twin dragons, blue and red, like fiery scissors twisting towards Xu Qing’s body.

Yet, just as the stove god thought his fire-escape technique was exceedingly covert, he suddenly saw before him the Lady Bao Sheng’s image twisting and transforming behind her, actually growing a second face!

Under the light wheel of merit, Xu Qing’s solemn and dignified image brought a chilling fear to the stove god, akin to midnight horror.

Xu Qing raised his hand axe, and amid the stove god’s shock and anger, he once again transformed into countless fire sparks, dissipating without a trace.

"This divine technique..."

Xu Qing put away the great axe and instead activated the Yellow Sky Banner and Li Wind Summon to their utmost.

If you enjoy scattering into a thousand pieces, then don’t hope to reunite again!

"..."

Within a hundred miles, the omnipresent fire sparks suddenly emitted a red glow; just as Xu Qing was about to open the three channels to unleash the northern bone wind, all the red glows instantly gathered into one, revealing the stove god’s form.

"Impudent!"

The stove god’s seven orifices spewed crimson fire gas, evidently enraged.

Previously, the stove god would undoubtedly have aligned with the culpable god Simao, believing Xu Qing to be an immortal god from the upper realm, subsequently confronting him.

Yet the other party had vehemently denied this before...

"If you are not a celestial god, then you must be conducting illicit worship in a self-built temple, having stolen so much earthly incense and enraged Kong Ren to destroy the heavenly path. The Celestial Emperor and Dharma Master will not spare you; the three realms shall have no place for you!"

Xu Qing’s eyes emitted a strange light, questioning, "Self-built temple, who says self-built? My sect established temples well before the upper realm’s order was set; who would dare speak so rashly? You mention the Celestial Emperor, is he attempting treason?"

"..."

The stove god stared wide-eyed at Xu Qing, the entwining fire dragons, Pan Nian and Chi Tuo, that were harassing Xu Qing from all sides, instinctively lowered their noise.

From outside the stove god’s wide sleeves, bouncing and drumming to assist, the reconnoitre little people, and even the tooth-baring, sneering grain-eating birds, and stove spirits on his shoulders quieted down.

Hinting at the Celestial Emperor’s intent to rebel, even finding fault, they couldn’t articulate such words.

The stove god questioned with uncertainty, "In today’s era, sacred beings do not appear; could your sect possibly be led by a saintly forebear?"

Xu Qing blinked, thinking how perceptive you are!

However, his sect was not just one place, nor did one saintly forebear teach him.

Once, when Xu Qing borrowed the Celestial Scripture in White Cloud Cave, divine beings taught him Divine Techniques, accepting him as a hidden disciple.

Yet this relationship could only remain a secret, never spoken.

Xu Qing still had no idea how many hidden disciples the Primordial Master had accepted; the sole thing known was regarding the owner of Little Water Curtain Cave.

The first rule of the Primordial Master’s disciple acceptance was that hidden disciples must never disclose their sect externally.

Even Xu Qing felt the Primordial Master’s aliases weren’t fewer than his.

The identity of this master’s true form was unknown to anyone; the sole thing Xu Qing knew was the Primordial Master’s non-stick attribute had reached a pinnacle.

"Sacred beings not appearing doesn’t mean disciples cannot emerge."

Xu Qing said calmly: "I am the goddess under the Central Sovereign Temple, directly taught; my divine position is still worshiped in the Central Sovereign Temple, how dare the Celestial Emperor deem me as conducting illicit worship?"

"Goddess..."

The stove god once again scrutinized Xu Qing, dignified and solemn with the emblematic loaned golden gourd and red luan embroidered ball belonging to the legendary goddess.

Then looking at the purity of that blood lake incense smoke...

The already unsettled stove god now felt overwhelmingly on edge.

Sacred layouts, demolishing the heavenly path; slaughtering four gods, facing the Dharma Master’s majesty and heavenly catastrophe.

Each individual plot was not something someone of his age could bear. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Consider him merely a small stove god, outwardly corpulent, internally at the bottom of the food chain, impossible to survive amidst such competition.

Xu Qing didn’t care about this and that; provoking Kong Ren to destroy the heavenly pillar was a secret not to be exposed to anyone.

All those aware, witnesses, must be silenced!

Xu Qing knew that after the heavenly path barrier shattered, upper realm immortals descending was inevitable sooner or later; within this extremely brief period, he must advance the hidden return plan of the three teachings.
