In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 27 The Second Absorption of Solar Heat

"Really? Water has come out of the river down the mountain?"

"Would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes. Although the water flow wasn't strong, water was definitely flowing out, and it was crystal clear."

A villager, his face glowing with anticipation, said, "Great! Great! The Golden Saintess is truly powerful. She said she would solve the problem of drought for us. It seems we can start farming again soon."

"Once we have a harvest from our crops, we'll use the money to make a statue of the Golden Saint Goddess, so that she can enjoy the incense offerings for thousands of generations. We will also tell our descendants that we must never forget the Goddess's great kindness and virtue."

"Do you even need to tell me? The Goddess appeared when we were in our most difficult time, bestowing blessings and sending down rain. If we forget the Goddess's kindness, how are we any different from those heartless beasts?"

Grandpa Zhou said, "It's a great thing that the river at the foot of the mountain has water. Although none of our villages except Peach Blossom Village can receive the Goddess's rain and dew, with the water from the river, no one will die of thirst anymore."

The crowd cheered and the children ran wildly through the mountains.

An old woman gazed at the scene with a sorrowful and bitter expression: "If only my poor son could see this."

The mother, who longed for water, cried, "My husband has been gone for three years. I don't know when he will come back. He left during the first year of drought. I still remember his face full of reluctance when he left, afraid that the three of us would die in the village without him."

Someone lamented, "My father is in poor health. He's over sixty years old. He was conscripted by the soldiers. What's the difference between this and sending him to his death?"

The villagers all wore sorrowful expressions when they thought of those who were fighting in other places.

The Great Xia emperor waged war for ten years, exhausting the people and wasting resources. The war caused mothers to lose their sons, wives to lose their husbands, and children to lose their fathers.

The eight villages at the foot of Qihuang Mountain were originally peaceful and harmonious, but after the emperor issued a decree to conscript soldiers, only young children and frail women remained in the villages over the years.

The men who didn't go to war were either too old to wield a knife, or, like Zhang Youhe, the village chief of Peach Blossom Village, were seriously ill.

Zhang Youhe comforted everyone, "Don't cry, everyone. We are already blessed by the heavens to have the Golden Saintess. Think about people in other places. Without water, they can't even save their lives."

"You all need to take good care of yourselves and wait for your families who are fighting abroad to return safely and reunite with us."

Zhang Youhe's words were meant to comfort him, but his choked voice betrayed him. He was blind and not selected to fight, but his only son had already been captured by the soldiers.

The villagers felt a mix of emotions.

The fact that they were blessed with divine protection and had water to drink, so they wouldn't die of thirst, brought them great comfort.

But thinking of his family fighting on the front lines and his relatives who died of thirst a few years ago, a bitter feeling spread through his heart.

They gained hope of survival.

What about those who are fighting abroad?

After a period of sadness, they were filled with hope again.

Everything is getting better, isn't it?

Perhaps, perhaps one day the war will end, and their loved ones will be able to return home.

Luo Yousong was taken home by Huowa in a daze.

After Huowa left, he suddenly woke up from his dream.

He...he...went to paradise.

They also saw the fairy palace.

It’s time to make a career!

"Master, you're back."

Butler Luo Zhong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the master alive.

He was filled with awe upon witnessing Huowa's supernatural powers.

They were worried that the master might anger the fairy boy and be punished.

"Master, what does Lady Jin Sheng want with you?"

Luo Yousong said, "That rat demon slandered my innocence, but fortunately the Empress is wise and used her supernatural powers to clear my name. Moreover, the rat demon has already paid the price."

"That's fine, that's fine."

“Uncle Zhong, you go yourself and send all those children back to their homes. Don’t hide the truth; tell their families the facts.”

Luo Zhong obeyed: "I'll go right away."

The children captured by the rat demon ranged from eleven or twelve years old, who were already capable of understanding human affairs, to toddlers as young as two or three.

Luo Zhong put in a lot of effort to find the children's families, and it took him five whole days to return all the children to their homes. Seeing their children return safely, the anxious parents knelt on the ground, deeply grateful for the Luo family's kindness, and wept bitterly as they hugged their children tightly.

Just as the master had instructed, I explained the matter in detail.

Master Luo was one of the most philanthropists in Qinyang County, and no one doubted what Luo Zhong said. The families of the children were extremely grateful to the Luo family and were amazed by the Golden Saintess of Qihuang Mountain.

We heard that Luo Zhong is going to pay homage to the goddess in a few days, and everyone wants to go with him.

If there really are gods and immortals.

Wouldn't that save them?
People were eager to try it out.

Gu Yuexi used her demonic power to restore all life to Qihuang Mountain.

Furthermore, Huowa and Shuiwa found the grain hidden by the rats, intending to give it to Luo Yousong when he came up the mountain so that he could distribute it to the people again. Luo Yousong was radiant with merit, so giving him the grain was a good choice.

Fire Boy and Water Boy returned the Demon-Binding Rope and the two Demon-Subduing Talismans to their rightful owners, who then placed them in a palace specially reserved for treasures by Gu Yuexi.

At the Golden Sacred Palace, Gu Yuexi sat cross-legged.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged towards her.

In the cultivation world, she primarily cultivates the dual water and wood element techniques.

She is now a Holy Spirit Root Sister.

Holy Spirit Root Cultivation does not restrict the attributes of spiritual roots.

The previous refinement of solar heat gave her a huge amount of fire-type spiritual power, allowing her to become a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator. There are still a few days before she absorbs solar heat for the second time.

These past few days she has been trying to find the water and wood element cultivation techniques she used in the cultivation world.

Revisiting her cultivation techniques from her past life is incredibly easy for her now.

In her previous life, she needed to comprehend the core essence of the cultivation technique. Now, she only needs to repeat the cultivation technique once and then master its essence.

The Underworld Water Manual

It can almost combine the essence of all water-based martial arts techniques.

The Wood Spirit Classic

It covers all the essentials of top-tier wood-based martial arts techniques.

It can be said that after mastering these two techniques, one can roughly grasp the core principles of the water and wood elements.

In the Wushi Imperial Clan, only direct descendants and the chosen ones of the clan can cultivate this skill.

After she had mastered both techniques, she began to activate her divine sense.

She sat in meditation and held her breath, using her spiritual power to shatter the Consciousness Pearl in her sea of ​​consciousness. The fragments of the Consciousness Pearl melted into energy, and instantly her divine sense spread to every corner of the Golden Saint Divine Palace. Her divine sense had a range of three zhang, which proved that from now on she could easily grasp all the movements within three zhang of the Divine Palace.

Even the sound of a tiny leaf falling to the ground within a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

With divine consciousness, she could use the Blessing Disc.

A few days ago, the Blessing Disc was handed over to Shuiwa for management, and the torrential rain that excited and delighted the villagers was brought down by Shuiwa using the Blessing Disc.

She focused on her spiritual practice for several days.

When she opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by spiritual energy.

If I do the math, three days have already passed, and today is the second time we can absorb the sun's heat.

Above the Golden Sacred Palace, a tall, mysterious, and awe-inspiring figure reappeared.

Meanwhile, the mountain demons sensed the difference in the Golden Saint Divine Palace and began to stir.

Aura! An endless supply of the sun's essence.

The mysterious goddess on Mount Qihuang has begun absorbing the essence of the sun to cultivate again.

Groups of mountain monsters appeared on Mount Qihuang.

At the same time, Luo Yousong led the townspeople to Peach Blossom Village in a grand procession, intending to find villagers to take them up the mountain to worship.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred!
