Shennong Daojun.

Chapter 530 Opening the Mountain and Receiving Auspiciousness, Taking the Essence of the Mountain, and Establishing the Name through the Fengshan Ceremony!
A grand ceremony is needed to invite Yan Ao and Lu Ya to come out of seclusion.

But things were completely different when it came to Bovey.

The meeting was kept secret. Apart from Lan Chuan, Lu Ya, Yan Ao, and several God Kings, no one would know that Bo Wei had become Zhao Xing's protector.

There was no need for a formal invitation, because Zhao Xing did not need to owe Bowei any favors. Bowei came to atone for his sins, and if anyone was to owe a favor, it would be to the Temple of Reincarnation.

Palace Master Luya gently flapped his wings, and the next moment Zhao Xing found himself and the God of War Yan Ao in the Samsara Temple.

It was still that familiar bronze gate, that familiar cemetery, and the same caretaker was still Lord Tu Ning.

However, when Zhao Xing saw Bowei again, the man was no longer disheveled and locked in front of the tombstone.

An exquisite courtyard has been built on the site of the original Yanshen Stele.

Upon entering the courtyard, Zhao Xing found that Bowei had changed into clean clothes, his hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and his expression had become gentle, as if he had regained his humanity.

His eyes were full of wisdom, as if he had returned to the spirited elder he once was.

Bowei knelt before the table, but upon seeing Yan Ao and Lu Ya appear, he immediately straightened up: "This sinner Bowei greets God Yan, Palace Master Lu Ya, and the head of the Ancient Mountain."

Bowei has changed his personality? He's been educated into this state? Zhao Xing didn't react for a moment. He even doubted whether this was really Bowei. However, after checking the panel, he confirmed that it was indeed Bowei.

Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting, but did not speak.

He didn't know how to address Bovi, who was no longer the Grand Elder of the Citadel, but a convicted criminal.

The Palace Master Tu Ning next to him brought over a tray with a divine artifact that looked very familiar to him.

"This is the Great Dao Golden Hoop forged by the God of Realm Luo," the little yellow duck transmitted from your shoulder. "If you put it on Bovi, he will become your third protector."

No wonder it looks familiar; this is the magical version of the Golden Hoop used for enlightenment.

However, the Golden Hoop of the Great Dao does not have the function of 'enlightenment'; on the contrary, it is limited.

After Zhao Xing helped Bowei put on the golden headband, he also saw that multiple chains appeared in the core of Bowei's scholar body, the [Taoist Book] and the [Taoist Tree].

The runes on the chains were shrouded in chaos, and the mist on the chains made Bovi's multiple professional cores seem illusory.

The other core professions that Bowei possessed, such as the boundary core of the Self-Cultivator's Simong, the Golden Body of the Qi Cultivator, the Sword Heart of the Sword Cultivator, and the Boundless Cube of the Mechanist, all became blurred under the influence of the fog.

"If I limit Bovi's performance, how can he protect me?" Zhao Xing wondered.

Lord Tu Ning explained from the side, "Bovi is now a God General. If there are no restrictions, almost no God General can defeat him."

"The Great Dao Golden Hoop has limited Bovi's performance, but his remaining strength is still formidable."

“Now you are the master of the golden headband. After Bovi puts on the golden headband, he will be unable to harm you.”

"There is a spell on the golden hoop. If Bowei has any disloyal intentions, it will light up. You can calmly recite the spell to make him suffer unbearable pain and completely lose his fighting ability."

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Xing discovered that there was indeed a profound incantation on the chain inside Bowei's life palace, although it was currently gray.

"Of course, you only have three chances to use it."

"If we use up these three chances, the power of the Great Dao Golden Hoop will decrease, and Bovi will be able to fully understand the effects of this divine artifact and unlock it on his own."

The explanation from Palace Master Tu Ning gave Zhao Xing a general understanding of the situation regarding the Great Dao Golden Hoop.

As a god-level scholar, Bowei could only have three chances even with the Great Dao Golden Hoop, which completely restricted him.

After three attempts, Bovi will have a chance to break free.

"I've become Tang Sanzang, and Bowei has become the monkey," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Ultimately, it's because Bovi's strength is terrifying; killing him would be such a waste.

But when it comes to using it, you can't be completely at ease.

The Great Dao Golden Hoop, forged by the God of Realm Luo, can only be used three times.

It will be cracked by Bowei after three attempts.

"Thank you, Palace Master Tu Ning."

Zhao Xing spent two months in the Temple of Reincarnation and mastered the technique of the Great Dao Golden Hoop.

After that, Bovi was taken into his inner world.

When Zhao Xing opened his eyes, Yan Ao spoke: "Zhao Xing, the two guardians in the light and one in the dark are in place. You should go on your travels."

"During your travels, we will only intervene in two situations."

"Which two situations?" Zhao Xing asked.

"God, or death," the little yellow duck whispered in your ear. "We won't care if you encounter a demigod."

"Senior, are you not considering the number of demigods, their ranks, or whether they come from the evil god camp?"

"I won't consider it." Palace Master Luya pondered, "But don't worry, if that situation really arises..."

"how?"

"I will collect your body, if you still have any."

"..."

Zhao Xing was speechless. Was he being made a joke of?

But thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for the appearance of enemies from the divine realm, then he really wouldn't have much to worry about when facing demigods.

As the leader of the ancient hill, he already possessed three extremely powerful divine artifacts, was proficient in various spells, even possessed divine magic, and had a fortune of the thirty-first level.

It's true that demigods are unlikely to pose a threat to me anymore.

Unless it's Bovi or Guro River in their demigod stage, how many demigods like Guro River and Bovi are there in the endless space-time?
Even if there are factions in the past, would they be willing to send them to carry out missions to kill them?

The guardian deities are primarily there to ensure their own survival when venturing into dangerous places.

If the god of agriculture only cultivates the fundamental essence, then it is certainly safer for him to become a god.

To attain enlightenment through heaven and earth, one must observe the wonders of the universe and experience natural disasters and changes.

Shifang Mountain, Luanhai Sea, and Minggu Mountain are all places Zhao Xing must visit, and are also part of his travel plans.

……

Zhao Xing's journey began the moment Bowei became a guardian deity.

The human race's high command provided a list of travel destinations—the [Nine Heavens, Ten Maps].

Zhao Xing glanced at it and found that the list included all the strange and dangerous places in the ancient river region, many of which he had never even heard of.

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Maps encompass all the regions of the universe that were ruled and explored during the Five Emperors' era."

"There are hundreds of millions of star coordinates for demigod-level exploration sites alone, and tens of thousands of exploration sites are marked as god-level?"

"The era of the Five Emperors was truly a golden age, ruling over such a vast territory!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.

As times have changed, the concept of "nine heavens and ten earths" no longer exists. This is because as the universe enters a period of annihilation, the desolation of wastelands has intensified, and human migration has caused many places to lose their former splendor.

Going to travel now would be a futile endeavor.

However, this map still holds value, because Zhao Xing will be able to travel to those places when he travels through time in the future.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Maps" is essentially a time and space manual.

Zhao Xing turned his gaze to the Shenluo Wasteland, which alone contained more than seven thousand secret realms.

There's even a star-shaped dot that's clearly marked as "[Fengchan Site]" or "[Ancient Fengchan Site]".

The star-shaped dots represent a region, and Zhao Xing could tell at a glance that this region included the location of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Zhao Xing conjured a point of light with his mind, which emitted a red glow and condensed into four large scarlet characters: "Do Not Proceed".

"As expected, the Temple of Reincarnation knew about the existence of the Fengchan Land. The Temple of Reincarnation has sealed off the current Xuanhuang Realm, and we don't know when it will be opened."

Zhao Xing looked away. Since going there was forbidden, he certainly wouldn't break that taboo.

"Where should we go for our first trip?"

In the bamboo room of the courtyard, Zhao Xing was quietly pondering.

"The progress of the three major cultivation methods is the progress of cultivating one's origin and becoming a god."

"The treasures required for the Primordial Realm cultivation method of the Original Self School are almost all related to the small world, such as the Heart of the World and various boundary stones."

"The treasures required for the Earthly Advantage Sect's cultivation techniques on the extreme continent are all related to the earth's veins and soil."

"The Great Sun Qi Sea technique of the Heavenly Time School mainly focuses on the origin of the polar star, collecting strands of aurora."

After careful consideration, Zhao Xing decided to focus on cultivating the Primordial Chaos Realm and the Great Sun Sea of ​​Qi.

Because of their geographical advantage, the cultivation techniques of the Geographical Faction are relatively easier to advance.

After all, he is the leader of the mountain, so he doesn't need to do many things himself and can allocate less energy to them. When he travels, he doesn't need to spend time on things like acquiring certain materials; he can just observe and comprehend them.

The Primordial Chaos Realm and the Great Sun Qi Sea must be relied upon entirely by oneself.

The only help Gu Luohe provided was the Flower God General and a few divine spells. Material assistance? Gu Luohe himself lacked even the most powerful divine artifacts!

As for the Heavenly Timing Sect's techniques, one must rely even more on oneself. This is because the Heavenly Timing Sect is not powerful among the human race in this era; its leaders, such as sect masters and rulers, are at most demigods.

"The Tian Shi Sect still treats me like an ancestor. I want to curry favor with them, but they want to curry favor with me too," Zhao Xing muttered.

"I need to ask the origin of Polaris. Maybe even people don't know what this thing is... Hmm? It seems like there's a faction that has information about it."

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered a force he had heard of called the "Chasing Light Society" when he met the four Venerables Wan Ying, Sheng Yi, Fu Ping, and Hao Yu in the City of the Soul.

"The Light Chaser Society is an organization established by the 'Starry Sky Historians' faction among historians."

"Time, time, refers to the historical scenes reflected in the brilliance of the North Star."

"I wonder if this faction has been absorbed by Bowei."

Zhao Xing immediately entered his inner world and found Bovi in ​​a corner of the boundless continent.

Within the inner world, Zhao Xing also restricted Bowei's activity area, but this area was large enough.

After Bovi came in, he built a manor for himself. He used magic to change the weather, with white clouds in the sky, wheat fields and fruit trees below, and vegetable seedlings behind the manor.

At this moment, Bovi, having shed his splendid robes, watered the vegetable garden and then went fishing at the lake behind the manor, looking quite leisurely.

"Bovi used to be so pragmatic, even extreme, but now he seems indifferent to the world. Is this his way of disappearing from public life?"

It has been only a few thousand years since Bowei became a god. Once a god becomes a free god, he will start to complete the process of 'divine concealment', or at least reach the level of semi-concealment, in order to delay the divine tribulation.

The days of imprisonment can be considered a kind of 'seclusion,' and Bowei now seems to have shed all his former glamour.

"Elder." Zhao Xing's thoughts materialized and landed next to Bowei.

"You may call me Bowei, I am now just a repentant god."

“There were gods from the Temple of Reincarnation watching outside just now. In my heart, you are still the Grand Elder who saved me,” Zhao Xing said tentatively.

Bowei laughed it off when he heard it.

"Speak frankly, Shan Shou."

Seeing this, Zhao Xing stopped trying to dodge the question: "Elder, do you know about the Chasing Light Society?"

“Hmm.” Bovi nodded: “The Light Chaser Society was founded by a group of astronomical historians who chase the light of the North Star.”

"Most of these people are not in human-inhabited areas; they have gone to very far places."

"I only occasionally send back some academic results; the main communication is through the City of the Mind."

“The elders might be able to command them,” Zhao Xing asked.

“No.” Bovi shook his head. “I haven’t recruited into this organization.”

"Why?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. Logically speaking, the members of this organization should all be very strong. To catch up with the Light of Polaris, they should at least have the strength of the Reincarnation Realm.

Bovi shrugged and said, "Although they are strong, they require a lot of funding, and most of their people are not in the Xuanling Star Region. What use is just verbal loyalty?"

"The university city has no management capabilities of its own and relies entirely on funding from various countries. How can I possibly take care of them?"

Zhao Xing was speechless.

I never imagined that the reason they stopped contacting each other was because they were poor.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If Bovi hadn't found the Transcendent Tower after taking over the Academy, he wouldn't have had the funds to carry out his god-making plan.

Only by obtaining the Transcendent Tower could he acquire a large amount of money and the opportunity to read the Mysterious Spirit History Book by selling the quota for entering the Transcendent Tower.

However, this good time didn't last long, as he cleared out the quota of Chuanjielou for him.

Later, Bovi finally became a god, but was quickly suppressed, and had no time to think about the Light Chaser Society.

Having received the answer, Zhao Xing was about to leave.

However, Bowei added, "Although I did not recruit them, Feng Chen did contact the three leaders of the Chasing Light Society."

"You can ask him."

Zhao Xing was overjoyed: "Thank you."

Ancient Hill, Academic City.

Feng Chen drew a series of secret symbols in the air with his finger: "Zhao Sinong can memorize this series of solar secret symbols, and then launch this series of secret symbols from the giant sun star in any super-first-class star system."

Zhao Xing's mountain avatar asked, "How long will it take for the three leaders of the Chasing Light Society to receive the message?"

Feng Chen shook his head: "I don't know about that. Venerable Xu Yang, Ji Wen, and Ke Xi have been gone for too long. The last time I received a reply was five thousand years ago."

"But once you make contact, they can communicate with you through the mind or through cause and effect."

Five thousand years? That's a long time.

However, Zhao Xing had no choice. The three leaders of the Chasing Light Society had already left the Xuanling Starfield. Once they left the Xuanling Starfield, without the communication and transportation system established by the human race, everything would become very slow.

"Elder Feng, is there still no news from Poincaré?" Zhao Xing asked casually.

“No.” Feng Chen shook his head and said, “There are many scholars named Poincaré, but we have searched all over the years. None of them meet your criteria.”

"If we don't consider the fact that the person you're looking for hasn't been born yet, then there are only two possibilities."

Which two situations?

"Either Poincaré is a historical figure, or he is a god who has completely disappeared."

Zhao Xing had no choice but to put the task aside.

Historical figures and those who have completely disappeared are extremely difficult to find.

Especially when they are completely invisible, they are almost impossible to find.

Complete disappearance is equivalent to eliminating all clues, making it impossible for even a fortune teller to deduce anything unless one actively breaks out of the state of disappearance and interacts with the outside world.

However, since the name Poincaré appeared in the mission, he couldn't have completely disappeared. A true disappearance means that even his name would be unknown, and all traces of his existence would have been completely erased.

"Thank you, Elder." After asking for guidance, Zhao Xing's Mountain Dharma Body dissipated.

……

In the 128th year of the Third Era of the Wilderness, Zhao Xing launched the solar talisman given to him by Feng Chen through the giant sun star that existed in the Ancient Hill.

In the 134th year of the Star Realm, the clone is still in the Origin Heavenly Palace, holding a ceremony to invite the God of Cliffs to protect the path.

However, the main body, along with the four divine generals Yan Ao, Lu Ya, Hua Li, and Bo Wei, quietly arrived in the territory of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom in the Xuanling Starfield.

"In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Rivers Demon Kingdom, there is a 'Six-Winged Mountain,' which is part of the 'Feather Sound Mountain' in the 'Unknowable Mountain.'"

"The Feather Emperor created the divine sound, and the mountains rose with the sound, increasing by one level every day. After the Feather Sound Rank of the Five Divine Sounds was created."

"Because its upper half is composed of pure divine sound, it can emit the sound of the Great Dao to the entire human territory, so Yuyin Mountain became a super mountain and one of the sacred mountains of music."

"But once it was created, no one could climb to the part above the mountainside, because no one could become the Feather Emperor's confidant."

"Therefore, 'Mount Yuyin' has also become an unknowable mountain."

"Later, Yuyin Mountain stopped emitting the sound of the Great Dao. The mainstream speculation is that the upper part of the mountain, which represents the divine charm, was cut off by the conquering Yu Emperor."

“The original mountain only emitted twelfth-level ‘holy sound’ rather than divine sound.”

"Later, this part of the mountain also became a contested object. In the end, part of it was cut off and left in the Wanhe Demon Kingdom, becoming the 'Six-Winged Mountain', while the other part remained within the territory of the Gongyu Ancient Kingdom."

It was Bovi who spoke, raising his voice to the heavens from within his inner world. Zhao Xing, as the master of his inner world, was like the Heavenly Dao itself, and could hear Bovi's voice.

"The ranking of Six-Winged Mountain in the [Knowledge Mountain] has fluctuated, mainly because the evaluations of it by the successive leaders of Taigu Hill are inconsistent."

"Some mountain leaders like music theory, so they give it a higher score, and its ranking will move up."

"At its peak, the mountains associated with the Five Divine Sounds all reached the top twenty of the [Mountain of Knowledge], and one of them even ranked sixth."

“By the time of Venerable Meishan, he ranked Six Wings Mountain seventeenth, a drop of three places from the previous generation’s leader.”

"You chose the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Rivers Demons as your first stop on your journey, and you were traveling incognito. Could it be that you came here specifically for this mountain?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I do have that idea, but it's not the main purpose."

After becoming the leader of the Ancient Hill, he couldn't completely shirk his responsibilities; there were still some official matters that he, as the leader, needed to handle.

To open the mountain and bring good fortune, we take the essence of the mountain and seal it off with a name.

This was the first thing the new leader of Taiko Hill would do upon taking office.

If Zhao Xing hadn't needed to ask a divine general for protection, this would have been the first thing he did.

It not only showcases the status of the Ancient Hill and promotes its fame, but also has practical benefits.

Opening a mountain to receive good fortune means gathering the blessings of a sacred mountain, which is a way to increase one's luck.

Extracting the essence of the mountains means collecting the 'mountain spirits' born in the mountains and absorbing them into the polar continent.

Mountain spirits are not a living organism, but rather a kind of intelligent mountain treasure nurtured in the sacred mountains.

It has many uses: refining mountains, crafting weapons, enhancing cultivation techniques, and even helping people overcome tribulations.

Back then, all the gods of the Ancient Hill believed that the gift of Venerable Wei Zizhan of Meishan was that of Kuangchuan, the Lord of Mengchuan Mountain.

Why is Kuang Chuan only a sixteenth-level demigod, while Wei Zizhan is able to surpass the eighteenth level?
He became the leader of the mountain, collected the spirits of all the mountains in the world, and they helped him overcome the calamity, which greatly increased his strength.

"According to the ancient books of Taigu Hill, opening the mountain to receive good fortune can help boost luck; taking the essence of the mountain can help overcome spiritual tribulations; sealing the mountain and naming it can help one ascend to a divine position."

"However, only the first two are effective now, and the divine artifact [Yuanji Mountain] has also become [Yuanji Mountain]." Zhao Xing stroked the divine artifact in his hand, somewhat emotional.

Since becoming the leader of the Ancient Hill, his vision and understanding have reached a new level.

In the glorious era of Taigu Hill, the method of sealing the mountain was the same as the Fengshan ceremony!

Climbing mountains leads to godhood!

However, now only fragments remain, and the Fengchan method is reduced to the sealing of mountains, and its effect is completely different.

"If you came not just for Six-Winged Mountain, then why?" Bovi asked. "The Myriad Rivers Demon Kingdom, with its many cosmic wonders, spiritual mountains, and great marshes, has even fewer that can benefit you."

"My main purpose is to go to the [Desert Sea]." Zhao Xing made his intentions clear to the four protectors at the same time.

Since you need someone to protect you, you should naturally tell them exactly where you are going.

Bowei quickly calculated and knew what Zhao Xing was after. Hua Li, the Divine General, didn't react, while Yan Ao simply nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. What kind of place is the 【Desert Sea】? Legend has it that it's the birthplace of the Nine Ze Gods.

As time has passed, the Nine Lakes God has long since ceased to exist, and the place has lost its divine charm, becoming merely a ruin. The once spiritually rich starry sea has also become a small wasteland.

Today, only a few descendants of the Nine Ze Gods, whose lineage is thin and whose numbers are dwindling, live there.

Seeing that Palace Master Luya on his shoulder did not respond, Zhao Xing took the initiative to ask, "Senior, do you know about the Nine Ze God?"

The little yellow duck buried its head in its belly feathers and slept soundly. Only when it heard Zhao Xing ask did it raise its head: "Nine Ze Gods? Of course I know!"

"Back then, when I went to its divine realm to eat something, it actually chased me for three eras."

"Hmph, stingy old man!"

Bowei, though inside his inner world, could hear the conversation outside. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Palace Master Luya didn't just eat something; he ate the offspring nurtured by the Nine Ze Gods."

Zhao Xing: "..."

Good heavens, no wonder they've been chasing us for three eras.

Naturally, gods are unlikely to have offspring. Powerful demon gods like the Nine Ze Gods have almost no peers and can only raise their own offspring.

Just like the Palace Master of Luya Palace is a member of the 'Quru Clan', he is a born demigod, and there is almost no one else like him in the same time and space.

The reason we use the term "tribe" is that these are the descendants we create to accompany us.

"Since Palace Master Luya has been there, he might actually gain something from this trip," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If he could cultivate the Nine Ze God to the upper three levels, he could temporarily become a member of the Nine Ze God race, which would be a huge improvement.

The divine techniques of the Primordial School are indeed very powerful, but the divine power is not their own right now, but rather transformed by the Primordial Dao Tower. Their true spirit has not yet reached the level of divine sense. Even if they can use divine techniques, their reaction speed cannot reach the level of a god.

If Hou becomes a god, he can fully enter the level of a god within a certain period of time.

While Zhao Xing traveled to the Wanhe Demon Kingdom, Kuang Chuan on the other side also left the Ancient Hill and entered the Black Sky Wasteland.

One of the eight most dangerous places in the Black Sky Wasteland, the Yan Rock area.

"Kaka~"

A huge, dark rock split open, and Kuang Chuan emerged from it.

He glanced around and saw the familiar Stonehenge, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Kuang Chuan flicked his fingers repeatedly, and golden light burst forth, striking the giant rocks that resembled human figures standing upright.

Moments later, all the black rocks were bathed in a golden hue.

"Om~"

The giant stone skulls simultaneously emitted a beam of light, with seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—converging in one place.

A massive giant emerged from the light and shadow.

Kuang Chuan shook his sleeves, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Mountain Chief."

Upon seeing Kuang Chuan's action, the travel avatar immediately laughed: "Brother Kuang Chuan, please rise quickly. It seems you have completed your mission. Have I become the leader of the Ancient Hill?"

Kuang Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, you defeated the Minggu Mountain Scripture with the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture and won first place at the Dharma Assembly. As soon as the Mountain Scripture was revealed, the God King manifested his power, the God Generals descended, and strange phenomena appeared in the world, which could not be suppressed."

Upon hearing this, the travel clone's eyes lit up: "What a grand scene! Tell me more about it."

He certainly wouldn't miss a single detail of such an opportunity to show off.

After a while, Kuang Chuan finished explaining all the details, and the travel clone nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Kuang Chuan. Now that you've returned, you'll probably face the wrath of the Undying God of the Underworld."

Kuang Chuan shook his head: "The Undying God of the Underworld wouldn't punish me. The Underworld Mountain Scripture and the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture appeared at the same time, what can I do? It would be the same if it were his subordinate, the Minister of Agriculture, Zizai God."

"I'm more worried about the safety of the mountaintop."

"Once the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture is released, you will become the object of contention among all parties. Initially, they will definitely try to lure you with bribes. If that fails, they will try to kill the mountain leader and seize the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture."

"The Ten Directions Mountain Classic not only contains the method of proving the Dao in Heaven and Earth, but also the location of proving the Dao."

The travel avatar nodded.

As the first of the unknowable mountains, the seclusion of Shifang Mountain is beyond doubt.

Over the years, Mount Shifang has never been destroyed. If it can be used as a place to prove one's Dao, one's divine foundation will be absolutely stable. It can be said to be invincible.

"Inviting someone to a feast will result in their execution, and accepting them as dogs is not the time to execute me yet," the Youxue clone laughed. "However, Kuang Chuan, you are right, we should indeed prepare for the future."

"Now that you have returned to Mount Minggu, we will begin preparations for my arrival."

"As long as I can bring the divine artifact Yuanji Mountain, open the mountain to gather auspiciousness, take the spirit of the Minggu Mountain, seal the mountain and name it, you and I can both become gods through this mountain."

"When the Profound Yin Reincarnation Technique transforms into a divine technique, then anyone who wants to kill you or me will have to destroy Mount Minggu. The world is vast, and we can go anywhere!"

The clone, full of heroic spirit, was also thoroughly satisfied by the meal.

He made up his mind to follow Zhao Xing, not purely out of idealism, but also because it was too difficult for him to become a god through Mount Minggu.

After Zhao Xing appeared, he not only improved an important part of the Minggu Mountain Scripture, but also, after becoming the leader of the mountain, he was able to use this to confer divine titles.

With his dreams realized and fame and fortune secured, following Zhao Xing was certainly better than siding with the evil god.

"When will Shan Shou return?" Kuang Chuan asked. He needed to prepare a safe way to enter the Minggu Mountain this time, and of course, he also needed to know when Zhao Xing's true form would arrive.

The arrival of the true self depends on when the traveling clone returns.

"We need to wait a little longer," the travel clone pondered. "The Black Sky Wasteland has countless secret realms, and many treasures are useful in the Primordial Chaos Realm and the Extreme Continent. I have to bring some things back with me."

"Take care, Shanshou."

"Brother Kuangchuan, take care of me."

After saying their goodbyes, Kuang Chuan, carrying the Bone Flame, left the Yuyan area and headed towards the Minggu Mountain. Zhao Xing's traveling clone also left through the Stonehenge.

……

Beneath Six-Winged Mountain, the Sea Monster's Music House.

Zhao Xing's true form secretly arrived at the Six-Winged Mountain of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom and settled in a force called the Sea Demon Music Bureau.

The siren race are natural singers; even the worst songs become more powerful when sung by a siren.

Zhao Xing, through Hou Bianfa, casually transformed into a sea monster at the Dao Domain Realm and joined the Sea Monster Music Bureau, thus gaining a decent place to stay.

"The way of dance and music has always been regarded as an elegant art." In his inner world, Bovi plucked the strings of a zither. The sky above his head displayed the outside world, showing the Six-Winged Mountain.

There aren’t many geomancers or egomancers who like dance and music, but celestialists often have some knowledge of dance and music as well.

“In the eighth realm of Xuecheng, I once found hundreds of copies of the ‘Book of Happy Farmers’.”

"In the late period of the Feather Emperor, there was a deity named You Tianfu in the [Yang Cangtian] kingdom. It is said that he was a prince of the Tuoyuan Kingdom who loved dance and music."

"This prince has no interest in the throne; he only enjoys playing music in the fields, but he is very talented."

“His brothers were jealous of You Tianfu’s talent and feared that he would compete for the throne, so they exiled him to the frontier and burned all his musical instruments, forbidding him to play them again.”

"When he was on the frontier, he would often hum to himself in the fields. When his servants asked him what he was doing, the farmer said he was listening to the songs of the flowers, grass and trees."

"People thought the prince had gone mad and avoided him, even his servants left."

"Later, his elder brother succeeded to the throne and launched a war. Years of war caused the Tuoyuan Kingdom to suffer a natural disaster that was rare in a million years."

"When a calamity struck the border of Tuoyuan Kingdom, it disappeared within just three years."

"It turns out that this prince learned about the ways of celestial timing after arriving here."

"He used the eight solar terms of Beginning of Spring, Spring Equinox, Beginning of Summer, Summer Solstice, Beginning of Autumn, Autumn Equinox, Beginning of Winter, and Winter Solstice as strings; and spring, summer, autumn, and winter as pillars, to create a magical weapon called the [Tianyou Ruan]."

“After You Tianfu played the zither for three years, the border area where he lived was free from natural disasters and returned to a prosperous state.”

"By the time of the 88th year, the natural disasters in the entire Tuoyuan Kingdom had disappeared."

"His elder brother was filled with shame and came to apologize to him, but found that he could no longer find You Tianfu. He only found the [Tianyou Ruan] and a book called 'Youtian Le Nong Shu' in the dilapidated palace where You Tianfu used to live."

"Four hundred realms west of the Six-Winged Mountain in the Wanhe Demon Kingdom is the place where You Tianfu once lived."

"The Youtianqin and Tianfudi are named after this. There are many temples around Liuyishan now, including the Youtianfu Temple."

Bowei truly lives up to his reputation as a scholar; he is extremely knowledgeable about the various places, scenic spots, historical figures, and people in Xuanling.

Putting aside what Bovet did, he was a great travel companion.

Zhao Xing also enjoys chatting with Bowei.

"Elder Bowei, did You Tianfu unintentionally complete a demonstration of the Dao of Heaven and Earth?"

“Yes, that should be it.” Bovi pointed, and a three-dimensional musical score appeared in the air. “I found You Tianfu’s ‘Book of Joyful Farmers’ in the Eighth Dharma Realm, but Tianyou Ruan has disappeared without a trace.”

"Suppose there is a suitable natural disaster, and with the help of a musician's great artifact, perhaps a minor proof can be achieved."

Is it true or false? A method of proving one's Dao through the universe—Bowei just told himself that?

“It’s just a possibility,” Bowei explained. “The reason why it’s difficult to attain enlightenment in the world today is not because magic is ineffective or because cultivators lack talent, but because the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been destroyed and the origin of the universe has weakened. The same thing will have completely different effects at different times.”

Zhao Xing nodded. What Bowei wanted to express was nothing more than five words: the overall environment was not good.

Zhao Xing still remembered the musical score. He took out a powerful magical artifact, the konghou, and played it. He found that the method of proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth did not appear on the panel.

Clearly, "The Book of Wandering Farmers" does not meet the threshold of "the method of enlightenment".

However, it was still very strong. Zhao Xing tried playing the music on several Emperor-level soldiers in his inner world and found that they had all sprouted new branches and their cultivation levels had slightly improved.

"The book 'The Farmer Enjoys Agriculture' puts 'enjoyment' first and 'farm' second, but it also contains profound principles of the seasons and the changes of Yin and Yang."

“The four strings and eight pillars, the yin and yang duet, the power of the sun and the moon is amplified by this musical method.” Zhao Xing said thoughtfully.

Just as he was studying "The Book of Wandering Farmers and Enjoying Agriculture," suddenly—

Zhao Xing felt a sudden surge of emotion, as if countless people were calling his name.

This feeling was familiar; it wasn't the first time Zhao Xing had experienced it.

Back in the Yanshen Star System, there was a guy named Li Chang who worshipped him.

"It's not Li Chang, but this time it's on a much larger scale."

My heart was racing, and I had a feeling that a great opportunity was coming my way.

Zhao Xing immediately ended his conversation with Bowei and entered the white jade Wuling ship.

For this kind of thing, you should either ask Bowei or the Boundless True God.

Zhao Xing's first reaction was to ask the Boundless True God, primarily because he had a high level of vigilance towards Bowei.

Secondly, we should not ask for too much. Since the Boundless True God said he would help him, let this evil god who protects the Way give it a try first.

“I report to the true God that someone is conducting a large-scale sacrifice, offering incense to me.”

"I don't know what kind of ritual this is, but it greatly affects my travels."

Inside the white jade Wuling ship, the statue of the Boundless True God quickly responded.

The Wanhe Demon Kingdom was located on the edge of the Xuanling Starfield, and in some places it could even be classified as the outer edge of the Black Sky Wasteland.

"Light incense and pray in my name." The Boundless True God's words were concise and to the point.

"Yes."

Zhao Xing immediately burned incense and prayed, silently chanting the name of the Boundless True God.

Soon, an image appeared in my mind, as if I were looking through a mirror.

The square was enormous, filled with a dense, dark crowd that stretched as far as the eye could see. In the center of the square stood a statue, a statue that was a reflection of himself.

There are a total of eight large altars and sixty-four small altars surrounding the statue.

Beside each altar stood a powerful high priest, leading the worshippers.

Zhao Xing could see a large number of light spots emanating from these people, which soon converged into a true spirit ocean.

"Sigh~"

Zhao Xing gasped after reading it.

The eight high priests are all demigods, and they are extremely powerful. Their offerings and ritual objects are of very high quality. They are numerous and live in a unique environment.

The spiritual power generated by such a high-level sacrificial ceremony is immense.

It was incredibly tempting to me.

Cultivating one's true self through divine sacrifice is merely touching upon the path of the priest, and for a half-baked practitioner, this direction is an easy entry point for breakthrough.

"Who is offering sacrifices to me?" Zhao Xing asked the Boundless True God.

"It should be the Zhiluo Zizai God Organization. He is a divine soldier under the command of Tianheng Yuanjun and is loyal to the Five Abyss Thunder Gods."

Zhao Xing was startled. A priesthood of the Free God Organization?

It turns out I hadn't seen things clearly enough.

"It's a minor problem, don't panic."

With a gentle touch, the Boundless True God sent a large amount of true spirit incense through the mirror in front of him, and then into Zhao Xing's life palace.

The original plan was to delay as much as possible.

Therefore, Zhao Xing could not refuse such offerings of incense to the true spirit too decisively; he had to absorb a portion of it.

"Whoosh~" After the incense of the true spirit entered, it shone with golden light and was mixed with many prayer sounds.

"I have already used the [Mind Mirror Technique] to filter out a large number of [Spirit Offering Sounds] for you. Next, I will guide you and teach you how to compress their sounds into a single thought so as not to affect your daily cultivation."

"As long as you don't listen, you won't be misled."

"Yes." Zhao Xing studied diligently.

He then discovered that these incense offerings became much calmer and their sounds diminished after passing through the Heart Mirror.

Zhao Xing learned two kinds of sacrificial magic. One is the "Mind Mirror," which can filter out very strong thoughts in the incense offerings of the true spirits. For example, when someone desperately desires something, strong thoughts will arise. These thoughts will also be transmitted to the hearts of the gods when they pray to them.

However, the Mind Mirror Method can reduce this obsession.

Secondly, there is the "Mind-Gathering Method," which can compress the thoughts of these believers into a corner of their life palace and gradually dissipate them.

"Won't there be a problem if we don't respond?" Zhao Xing asked.

“There’s no problem.” The Boundless True God shook his head and said, “In the way of sacrifice, the gods are above and the believers are below. This is inherently a reversal of the Heavenly Principles. How can you force the gods to respond?”

"Of course, if you accept the incense offerings but don't reciprocate, over time, the people of Tianheng Leimu probably won't offer you incense offerings for free anymore."

"Now you can pretend you don't know how, and only absorb a small portion, which will still buy you some time."

……

Meanwhile, on a certain planet in the Chaotic Sea region, the God of Freedom, Zhiluo, watched as Zhao Xing's statue on the altar shone brightly, with a large number of light spots being absorbed into it.

“With only one in a hundred offerings remaining, this level is considered normal,” Zhiluo Zizai Shen stared. “At least it’s feasible.”

There were no other ways to contact Zhao Xing, so it was difficult to preach to him.

Since it can receive the incense offerings from the true spirit, that's a good thing.

"Belief, belief—if you keep repeating it for a long time, you'll naturally come to believe it."

“The strong thoughts in the incense of the true spirit all contain the salvation philosophy that the priests uphold.”

“Once Zhao Xing gets used to it, we can preach to him and make him believe in the Five Abyss Thunder God.”

"He Chengzi, you can end this now." Zhiluo Zizai God beckoned, and He Chengzi, the head of the eight demigod priests, immediately ended this prayer that had lasted for decades.

In fact, the offerings began the moment Zhao Xing became the Ancient Hill, and now a breakthrough has finally been achieved.

“You’ve done a great job, but you need to keep a close watch here and not let your guard down.”

"Please give your instructions, Your Majesty," He Chengzi said respectfully.

“A small sacrifice is held every three days, and a large sacrifice is held every five days.”

"Monthly and annual sacrifices must not be interrupted."

"The offerings and ritual vessels shall be configured according to the specifications for this occasion."

"If there is a response, inform me immediately."

The God of Freedom, Jiro, established the rules.

"Yes," He Chengzi replied respectfully.

After Zhiluo left, He Chengzi's face immediately fell.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with this task.

Because he didn't believe in Zhao Xing at all, but he still had to complete the sacrificial ceremony, which required offering a certain amount of incense to the spirits.

For priests, it is truly a painful thing to not believe, yet still have to pray and offer incense to the spirits.

"With such a scale, if it were used to worship me, I might even become a priest god in the future."

"But it has to be given to Zhao Xing, sigh." He Chengzi complained.

"Senior brother, please don't say too much." A woman with face paint quickly interrupted He Chengzi. "Zhao Xing is currently at the height of his power and is sought after by all sides. If he joins our Five Abyss Divine Thunder Division in the future, senior brother, you must not show it and must avoid his sharp edge."

"I'll avoid his sharp edge? Hmph, whether he succeeds or not is another matter!" He Chengzi flicked his sleeves and said fiercely, "Junior sister, quickly burn incense, I can't let him choke on it!"

"..."

The Third Era of the Wilderness, the 178th Star Year.

Zhao Xing has been staying at the Siren Music House at the foot of Six-Winged Mountain for decades.

I went up to Liuyi Mountain several times and got a general idea of ​​what it was like.

In the autumn of the 178th Star Age, the ceremonial procession from the Ancient Hills visited the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Rivers Demons.

Zhao Xing returned to the ceremonial guard and, as the head of the mountain, ascended Six Wings Mountain.

The king of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom arrived in person, and the Demon God Palace dispatched several divine envoys to accompany him up the mountain.

The peak masters and mountain lords of the Ancient Hill, along with many powerful demons, all eagerly awaited the performance of Zhao Xing, the newly appointed mountain leader.

Because of the process of opening the mountain to receive auspicious blessings, collecting the essence of the mountain, and sealing the mountain and naming it, all those who climb the mountain together will receive great benefits.

"Six-Winged Mountain is the seventeenth of the Vision Mountains. Its mountain fortune is prosperous and its mountain spirits are abundant. Nearly ten eras have passed since the previous mountain chief sealed the mountain and named it." The Lord of Wanhe Kingdom hoped: "If I can get a little bit of the mountain spirits from nearly ten eras, it may be enough to help me get through the fifteenth True Spirit Tribulation."

To say that this mountain belongs to their Wanhe Demon Kingdom is an exaggeration, but after the previous mountain chief sealed off Six-Winged Mountain, no one could go there to collect resources, and no one dared to, otherwise the 'Ancient Demon Clan' would have rebelled.

Of course, the Ancient Hills won't keep all the benefits to themselves; the local demon kingdoms will also benefit.

After setting up the Earth Altar Square in front of Liuyi Mountain and going through the process of worshipping the Earth God, sounds soon came from ahead.

"The mountain chief commands: ascend the mountain immediately to receive good fortune!"
