Senior Sister Liu took Li Ye to a place that turned out to be a divine temple!
To be precise, it was a Land God Temple located at the edge of a town at the foot of the mountain. They entered discreetly from behind the temple and arrived at a quiet chamber.
An elderly man with a kind face was already waiting there.
He wore a round-collared robe and an official hat, and had a Mountain and River Pendant engraved with the scenery of the town around his waist—a typical outfit of the Land God!
Li Ye felt a bit dazed.
Although he had seen Nascent Souls and deity-sealed Divine Turtles before, this was his first time encountering the Earth Spirit.
Compared to the two previous beings with a casual demeanor, this Earth Spirit exuded a distinct aura of authority.
"Oh! It's Junior Brother Li," said the Earth Spirit, smiling at Li Ye:
"Don't be alarmed, Junior Brother. I simply lacked insight on the Immortal Dao, so I borrowed the sect's power to follow the Divine Path."
