I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 168 - 37: God of Fortune and Misfortune (1/3)
Taking advantage of Xiluo being held up.
Reappearing in physical form, You Chong was sprinting rapidly along the mountain trail.
Faced with the flames and feathers that occasionally fell, You Chong couldn’t even be bothered to dodge, transforming into a blood shadow instead to accelerate and sprint.
Although this was a great drain on You Chong.
But You Chong was always self-aware of his own strength, never getting carried away from deceiving Xiluo once.
After all, back in the Guifang Kingdom, his opponents were the true Five Directions Gods.
And the group of priests favored by the Five Directions Gods.
Therefore, more than anyone, You Chong understood how terrifying the power of the Gods truly was.
At the very least, at this stage, You Chong wasn’t qualified to fight a true God.
Whoosh!
The blood shadow flashed and disappeared, quickly reaching the location of the Mountain God Temple.
However, just as You Chong was about to break into the Mountain God Temple, the once-open temple suddenly shut closed.
Boom!
Accompanied by a clear sound of the door closing, an invisible force enveloped the entire Mountain God Temple.
Caught off guard, You Chong crashed into it, unsurprisingly being forcefully bounced back dozens of yards away.
"Ah!"
Forced back from his blood shadow state to his physical form, You Chong clutched his forehead in pain.
"What was that just now..."
He glanced fearfully at the already closed door of the Mountain God Temple.
The moment he was flung away, You Chong seemed to see a majestic Valkyrie gently opening her eyes.
Fortunately, the Valkyrie merely opened her eyes, her gaze extraordinarily gentle.
You Chong even felt that her appearance wasn’t to harm him but to protect him.
Otherwise, how could he have stood up again completely unharmed after being bounced back dozens of yards, without even a scratch.
"Since the main entrance won’t work, I can only take the mountain road."
Covering his gaze over the Mountain God Temple ahead, You Chong looked towards the cliffside composed of countless ghost god stone statues.
Though reluctant to offend these fierce ghost gods.
But as things stood, You Chong didn’t have too many options left.
Whoosh!
Once again, trails of blood shadow split out.
You Chong’s figure instantly appeared on the precipice.
The other major downside of not being able to take the main entrance was that You Chong had to circumvent the treacherous mountain roads to find the real route to his destination.
In the process, offending those bound ghost gods became an inevitability.
Because those ghost gods were merely petrified and sealed within the Ghost God Cliff, most still conscious.
Perhaps, it was precisely for this reason.
As You Chong climbed over those cliffs, he constantly felt a sense of dread, like pins and needles on his back.
"Huh?"
At this moment, You Chong suddenly noticed the highest point of the Ghost God Cliff.
At the center of that unique altar, the fiercely burning Prison Soul Tripod appeared so prominent.
"The Prison Soul Tripod is here too?"
So astonished was You Chong that his figure recomposed into a solid entity at this moment.
Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that the Prison Soul Tripod, sought by the Guifang Kingdom for so many years, would appear here on Feilai Peak?
Boom!
Only a momentary daze.
A massive stone arm came crashing down towards You Chong.
It was a ghost god statue with eight arms, its lower body spider-shaped.
With its formidable strength, this ghost god managed to gain mobility the moment a flaw appeared in its seal.
"Let me out!"
A low, hoarse roar emanated from the statue.
This ghost god, after enduring a millennium of sealing, had nearly lost its sanity, turning exceptionally violent.
"Sorry, I’m not here to save you."
Unfortunately, You Chong’s response was much faster than it anticipated.
Even in a dazed state, You Chong transformed into a shadow form the moment he sensed the force of the palm.
So the ghost god’s strike that split stone and cracked mountains.
Merely left a clear five-fingered imprint on the Ghost God Cliff.
"Let me out, I can fulfill your every wish!"
The massive head struggled as if wanting to free itself from the Ghost God Cliff, its voice turning temptingly seductive at this moment.
"No, you don’t even need to be like Hei Chi, completely breaking my seal..."
"Just chisel a crack in my seal, leave the rest to me!"
With a cold, disdainful glance at the ghost god statue below, You Chong certainly wouldn’t believe its mendacious words.
To be sealed within the Ghost God Cliff by that witch a millennium ago, this ghost god was definitely not of benign nature. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
If You Chong believed its deceitful words, he would most likely become the unfortunate soul in some legend.
"I’m not some naive fool..."
"In the creed of the Guifang people, only what you grab with your own hands truly belongs to you."
As his words trailed off, You Chong’s foot was already stepping on the ghost god’s arm, using the recoil to leap up.
Whoosh!
Blood shadows split once more, this time You Chong was evidently much more cautious.
Seeing those ghost gods similarly on the verge of breaking seals, You Chong avoided passing too close to them, even if it meant taking a detour.
As for the Prison Soul Tripod on the Ghost God Cliff?
You Chong pretended not to see it at all, given he wasn’t a genuine priest of the Guifang Kingdom.
Especially after undergoing the ritual of rebirth as a demon, You Chong’s sense of alignment with the Five Directions Gods had long faded significantly.
The only thing supporting him to this point, aside from his hatred for the Five Directions Gods, was his attachment to the Guifang Kingdom’s people.

"Xiluo! You idiot!"
"Do you really have time to continue entangling with me here?"
The conflict between Hei Chi and Xiluo still persisted, their high-pitched voices resonating continuously in the sky.
"If you let that blood shadow delve deeper into Feilai Peak, it won’t be just me who escapes by then!"
The voice contained deep anger and helplessness, Hei Chi clearly unwilling to keep wrangling with this stubborn stupid cat.
But clearly, Xiluo wasn’t of the same mindset.
On the contrary, upon hearing those words, she grew even more furious.
"The seal on Feilai Peak isn’t as fragile as you think!"
"If not for my sister not putting much effort into sealing you, escaping would have been impossible for you!"
As she spoke, the Red Leopard in the sky stirred up a Fire Cloud, illuminating the area.
Under the blaze of the flames, the night was illuminated as if it were day.
"You stubborn idiot of a cat! You leave me no choice!"
At those words, Hei Chi was fed up with exchanging words with Xiluo.
He suddenly spread his wings, releasing countless crows that rushed forward.
As a God of Fortune and Misfortune capable of bringing "misfortune," Hei Chi’s combat strength wasn’t particularly robust, but his various strange abilities were quite vexing.
With a slight slip, even Xiluo could overturn.
