Shi Feiyang couldn't help but slap the table in admiration after hearing the story, "Brilliant! Just follow this formula for the story, the common folk will love it."

He then asked, "What about me? How have you arranged for my character, the State Preceptor of Great Ming?"

Ji Fan swallowed, "I... I haven't thought about how to incorporate you..."

"Then don't think about it any longer! Don't you dare make up stories about me! Otherwise, I'll twist your head off."

Ji Fan nodded like a pecking chicken, "The scriptures we compile will definitely not contain even half a word related to you."

"That's good, since you are so diligent in your duties, I'll give you a gift," Shi Feiyang took out the refined Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu.

Ji Fan was so scared that he almost stood his hair on end while looking at the golden silkworm; the insect was one and a half feet long, with three pairs of transparent golden wings, its chubby body held its head high, and its mouthparts constantly opened and closed, chilling to the bone, "Is this... is this a Gu worm from Central Earth?"

"Correct!" Shi Feiyang waved his hand, and the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu transformed into a golden shadow and pounced towards Ji Fan. Ji Fan was so frightened that he scrambled to dodge, waving his hands, but the golden light had already disappeared.

He touched the top of his head with his hand, finding no changes.

Shi Feiyang told him, "This is a treasure I've selected especially for you. With it on you, no one else will be able to use Gu on you ever again because it is the king of all Gu. It can also protect your Primordial Spirit. If someone tries to destroy your Primordial Spirit, it can carry your Primordial Spirit away, saving your life. Of course, it can also monitor you for me. If you don't give your best effort to the tasks I've assigned you and show any negligence, it will gnaw on your brain and lay its eggs inside your cerebral fluid."

Ji Fan was about to cry, thinking he had brought this misfortune upon himself. Why did he have to go to the Capital and see the Emperor in the first place, and most importantly, why did he have to provoke this guy... He would rather face the Shaoyang God Monarch alone than deal with Shi Feiyang again!

Seeing him looking so pitiful, Shi Feiyang couldn't help but feel a twinge of compassion, "Last time I destroyed your Flying Sword, and in your current state, you wouldn't be able to fight against the two ladies of Immortal City, too pathetic. I'll give you a few treasures."

He first took out the Blood Transformation Divine Nails and the Black Evil Flag that he had obtained from Divine Monarch Bing Rong.

"This Blood Transformation Divine Nail is a wonderful treasure; once unleashed, it must draw blood. When nailed into a person, it can suck their blood dry. If it absorbs enough blood, it can even evolve on its own, becoming more powerful the more it absorbs."

"This Black Evil Flag, the incompetent Bing Rong didn't fully refine it; there is no governing Divine Demon on it. I'll give you one, look at this goddess, named Divine Hand Monk Wei Fengniang."

Shi Feiyang released Wei Fengniang, who took on her appearance from when she was alive, with added charm and allurement, standing there indistinguishable from a living person.

"From now on, you will follow Ji Fan, helping him against Xie Shan. If one day he dies, you come back to find me."

Shi Feiyang handed over the Black Evil Flag to Wei Fengniang, instructing her to reside within the flag from now on.

Lastly, Shi Feiyang took out three Jade Talismans, "With your current strength, you wouldn't even be able to run from Xie Shan. These three Life-saving Jade Talismans have been refined using the Mysterious Sect Five Elements Technique. In critical moments, they can save your life, capable of doing so three times in total. Use them sparingly."

Ji Fan truly feared him, nodding and agreeing to whatever he said. He couldn't discern whether it was good or bad, such as this Wei Fengniang, who looked quite beautiful with an alluring charm. Yet, she was of the Divine Demon kind, and the key issue was that this demon was not under his command, owning even the Black Evil Flag herself.

After explaining everything, Shi Feiyang left once more, returning to Tianjin.

As for Wei Fengniang, her temperament had always contained the seeds of a Demon Heart and Devil Thought. Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up with the Barbarian Monk Brooyinca, conspiring to cripple her own master.

Shi Feiyang turned her into a demon, and for many years, she lived in complete subjugation, without an ounce of freedom. Although she now carried out duties and could not act recklessly, she had shed many shackles and felt as if the sky was high and the earth wide, her heart filled with ease.

Although Ji Fan harbored fear and wariness towards her, she exuded tenderness and affection. She first took over the duties of the maid, serving him tea and tending to his needs every day, and even on a stormy night, she crawled into Ji Fan's bed, living with him as though they were husband and wife from then on.

Wei Fengniang was adept in the Western Demon Cult's method of energy absorption and, being a demon herself, she night after night absorbed Ji Fan's Essence Energy. Ji Fan was aware of this, yet because Wei Fengniang was too beautiful, too soft and fragrant, he became indulged and could not extricate himself, all the while having his disciples bring him Spiritual Medicine to replenish his energy, he diligently practiced his Cultivation Technique to recover his strength.

Regarding the tasks assigned by Shi Feiyang, Ji Fan did not dare to neglect them, especially since they greatly aided his preaching. He realized that he had underestimated the power of Central Earth's Buddhism and Dao, knowing that he would have to find another shell to inhabit, to quietly build influence. Hence, he gathered people to compile a vast number of scriptures, including those on the relationships between the Western Sect and Buddhism, with the majority recounting the tales of Xie Shan and his family. He incorporated Xie Shan's wife, concubines, nine sons, and the seven husbands of the two daughters of Immortal City into the scriptures for the believers to widely spread.

Following Shi Feiyang's instructions, he not only did not dismantle Xie Shan's temple but also installed statues of Xie Shan's family into their Western Sect's education hall, while squeezing their own Divine Statues into the original Xie Wang Temple. With the government's cooperation, such tasks were effortless. They also bought large tracts of land to build mixed temples containing elements from both sides.

Usually, the first yard would feature the two daughters from Immortal City along with their seven husbands, the second yard would have the nine Crown Princes of Xie, the third yard would host Xie Wang and Granny Xie, and the fourth would have the Western Creator Tathagata King Buddha.

At this time, officials and landlords controlled public opinion, and soon all sorts of novels, commentaries, ancient songs, and plays emerged, with new books and plays growing exponentially.

The common people were amazed at how many more stories there were about the Xie family, who not only had a connection with Shakyamuni Buddha but even deeper ties with the more formidable Creator Tathagata King Buddha!

Everyone enjoyed and quickly circulated the stories.

Xie Shan, already overwhelmed with his own affairs, realized what was happening only when it had deeply taken root and became an epidemic!

He told his followers that the Creator Tathagata King Buddha was a fabrication, a heterodox attached to Buddhism.

But the followers retorted, "Then why is your Divine Statue placed alongside the Creator Tathagata King Buddha in the same temple, receiving worship?"

Xie Shan, angered, visited a Mixed Temple, noticing that the monks there did not fully shave their heads, sporting a "Mediterranean" hairstyle, and claiming it was a hairstyle from Shendu Country, even saying that Buddha had sported it.

Following the trail, he confronted the twelve Great Mages of the Western Sect and discovered that they were gathered to discuss how to create scriptures and tell tales about themselves. After overhearing their plans, he could no longer contain his anger and released the Nine Heavens Duoluo Divine Blade, instantly killing eleven of them. Only Ji Fan, who detonated a Life-saving Talisman on his body, escaped. Xie Shan, however, had breached his vow of non-killing...

When he had first taken his monastic vows, he had made a promise not to take life, but now that he had broken this vow, his Vow Body was immediately destroyed!
