Jiang Yuan thought it over and realized something wasn't right. While chatting he had consulted the Yin Mountain Corpse, and she claimed to widely recruit believers as the Yin Mountain Lady with good reason.
She practiced a cultivation technique that could forge statues into temporary magical artifacts, then hand them over to believers for worship. While collecting incense offerings, she would release the cultivation energy in a certain range through the statue "avatars" to protect the believers.
Because the cultivation level of the Yin Mountain Corpse was relatively high, someone like Ji Xiuxiang, who was among the worshippers, could also borrow her power within a certain range.
It's as if she opened a branch here, and when the wilderness descended, the energy stored in the statue would be released to effectively repel the invasion.
