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

Chapter 29 Awakening Divine Sense, Hundreds of Feet

She expanded the range of her divine sense to over a hundred feet, covering eight villages at the foot of Qihuang Mountain.

She used her divine sense to see the actions of the villagers at the foot of the mountain, to see their reverence and piety as they faced the sacred site, and to see the people of Yunwu Town excitedly weeping as they faced the clear river.

Outside the Divine Palace, she saw the departing figures of the demons, who knelt and thanked her before leaving.

She knows every plant and tree on Qihuang Mountain like the back of her hand.

She could control everything, no matter what the wind or the grass rustled.

Such terrifying divine sense was something only Golden Core cultivators could achieve in the cultivation world.

[Host, you must replenish your spiritual energy immediately.]

Expanding her divine sense consumed eighty percent of her spiritual energy, including the spiritual energy converted from absorbing the sun's heat. The depletion of spiritual energy is extremely dangerous for cultivators; if they are not careful, their cultivation will suffer a major setback.

Hearing the system's notification, Gu Yuexi nodded.

"I am not currently able to absorb the essence of the sun for the third time and convert it into spiritual energy, but fortunately I exchanged for two third-tier spiritual veins before."

She glanced at the faith power; seven thousand faith power—a truly unexpected surprise.

Without hesitation, she exchanged for two fifth-tier spiritual veins, which materialized in a certain place in the Divine Palace.

Instantly, the spiritual energy within the Divine Palace surged.

She absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy with satisfaction to repair her own damage. The spiritual energy contained in the fifth-order spiritual vein was more vast and pure than that produced by the third-order spiritual vein. She had heard from Lingyi that the fifth-order spiritual vein would produce high-grade spirit stones, no wonder it was different from others.

While absorbing spiritual energy, she did not forget to practice two cultivation techniques.

The Underworld Water Manual and the Wood Spirit Scripture.

Each of the two cultivation methods is divided into nine levels.

Having practiced the technique once, she mastered it effortlessly.

After seven days and seven nights of alternating days and nights, she finally repaired the depleted spiritual energy in her body, and the spiritual energy in her meridians was once again replenished.

Having cultivated both the "Netherwater Manual" and the "Wood Spirit Scripture" to the third level, she can now skillfully utilize water-based and wood-based spiritual power.

It has been seven days since it last absorbed solar heat.

The weather changes are obvious.

A few wispy white clouds appeared in the vast blue sky, but they were scattered by the wind.

The sun is no longer as scorching as before.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain knew that this was all thanks to the Golden Saintess.

During the few days that Gu Yuexi was in seclusion, the people of Yunwu Town eagerly awaited her emergence so that they could have the opportunity to offer sacrifices to the gods.

Gu Yuexi knew what they wanted.

She saw Luo Yousong and his family arrive at Peach Blossom Village through the water mirror.

She came to the blessed disc.

She had roughly calculated that it would only rain if the sky absorbed the sun's heat three times. Apart from the previous torrential rain, the villagers had not seen a single drop of rain, and the air had become dry and scorching again, although it was somewhat better than before.

She exchanged several Rainstorm Talismans.

Using his divine sense, he locked onto the eight villages at the foot of the mountain and placed the rainstorm talisman into the blessing disc.

The wind blew, and dark clouds covered the sky.

Dark, heavy clouds swept in, and thunder roared and crashed down.

"Rumble--"

Thunder roared across the sky.

Peach Blossom Village has been extremely lively lately.

As the village most favored by the Golden Saintess, only Peach Blossom Village experiences wind and rain, and only the mountains here bring life back to life.

As a result, Peach Blossom Village gathered villagers from eight villages at the foot of the mountain.

Today, Luo Yousong and his family came to Peach Blossom Village.

They were eager to express their gratitude to the Golden Saint Goddess, and upon witnessing the wonders of Peach Blossom Village, they longed for her blessings.

"I wonder when Her Majesty will emerge from seclusion."

Luo Yousong chatted with the village chiefs of several villages.

Suddenly a strong wind blew by, and dark clouds pressed down from the sky.

"Boom!"

Thunder rolls.

Luo Yousong's eyes widened: "Thunder?" It had been three years since he had heard thunder; it felt like more than ten years.

"It must be the Golden Saintess about to bestow blessings again!" The village chief's wife explained happily, "Master Luo, you've come at a good time! The goddess must be casting a spell; it's about to rain in the village. It seems the goddess has already emerged from seclusion."

As she spoke, the village chief's wife took out a ceramic pot or earthenware jar to collect water.

The villagers all came out and stood in the open space, intending to catch the rain.

The river at the foot of the mountain has started to flow again, but everyone has had enough of the hardship of not having water. So every time it rains, they fill all the earthenware jars and pottery containers in their homes to make them feel at ease.

Dark clouds hung heavy in the sky. Luo Yousong muttered to himself, "Is it going to rain? This is like a dream."

The gods who have mercy on all living beings are so kind and benevolent that they send rain to save them—how incredible!

"Crash!"

The villagers cheered, "It's raining! It's raining! Everyone come and collect water!"

Luo Yousong quickly borrowed some earthenware jars from the village chief's house.

"Mother, please don't come out. Be careful not to get caught in the rain and catch a cold. Your son will take Xiumei and the children to fetch water."

"No! My old bones are still hale and hearty."

Madam Luo was determined, and Luo Yousong could not persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to let her go out.

The wet downpour washed away the dryness of the past few days, making the ground soft underfoot.

"That's wonderful! The suffering people can finally have water to drink, all thanks to the blessings of the goddess." Old Madam Luo tremblingly held the rainwater in her hands, her joy and gratitude overflowing.

Three years of drought have claimed countless lives in Qinyang County! Is this terrible nightmare finally about to end?

“My son, let’s go up the mountain to worship the goddess after the rain stops.”

The torrential rain continued for three days and three nights, just like before.

The Luo family and the townspeople they brought stayed in the village for three days. After the rain stopped, they went up the mountain to worship the gods without delay.

As promised, Luo Yousong brought with him a vast fortune.

The lavish offerings filled the open space in front of the temple, as if he hadn't come to worship the gods, but simply to deliver gifts.

“Your Majesty, Luo Yousong and his family kowtow to thank Your Majesty for saving their lives. If Your Majesty had not sent the boy to subdue the rat demon, the entire Luo family would have died silently.”

His mother, wife, and children behind him were equally respectful and devout.

He reiterated his promise: "In a few days, I will sell my possessions and definitely cast a statue for the goddess, so that she may enjoy incense offerings for thousands of generations to come."

"Luo Yousong!"

Gu Yuexi's voice was neither too close nor too far.

Everyone looked around in shock.

The goddess has appeared!
Without hesitation, they kowtowed to the gods.

"This humble subject is here." Luo Yousong kowtowed excitedly.

Old Madam Luo, Luo Yousong's wife and children, and the people behind them dared not speak, kneeling there tremblingly.

"You don't need to sell your property to cast a statue for me. The people of the world are hungry and suffering. Just do your best to help them fill their stomachs."

Gu Yuexi politely declined his offer. She had no use for these mundane things, and she wouldn't have accepted the villagers' offerings if it weren't to put their minds at ease.

Luo Yousong felt a surge of awe and clasped his hands together, saying, "Your Majesty is merciful and cares for the people of the world. I will do my utmost to help the people and will never fail Your Majesty's high expectations."

"brush!"

Sacks piled up as high as a small mountain appeared out of nowhere.

The Luo family and the worshippers were astonished and shocked.

"The grain inside was stolen by the descendants of the rat demon. You can take it and distribute it to the people in the town and surrounding villages. This will ensure that they don't go hungry for a while."

She emphasized, "There is no rat poison in it."

"Wait a little longer, the sun will return to normal soon, and the people will be able to farm and make a living."

Hearing this, the people were more willing to believe that the person on Mount Qihuang was a true deity!

Relieve suffering and save all living beings!

Luo Yousong was deeply moved: "Your Majesty is so compassionate and merciful, we humble people kowtow to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness and virtue!"

The people cried out in a deafening voice: "We thank Your Majesty for your great kindness and virtue!"

Some people were so moved that they cried and shouted.
