Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1556: Conquering Huaguo Mountain

Even a small Water Deity Star God has to accept the jurisdiction of many leaders and departments such as Marshal Tianpeng, Tianji Palace, Five Elders Taixuan Palace, Four Emperors Ziwei, Dou Mu Yuanjun and Haotian God. Even the Immortal of the South Pole can give orders and control anyone. Who exactly the Water Deity Star God listens to is in a flexible and changeable state. He listens to whoever has a higher rank and more power.

If the Water Deity is like this, the jurisdiction of the heavenly soldiers and generals in the entire heavenly court will be even more complicated.

It can be said to be a mess.

Li Jing's ability is not inferior to Wen Zhong. When Wen Zhong was demoted, he had the trust of the Jade Emperor and was the undisputed first marshal of heaven. But even so, he still could not control all the troops.

There is no god or priest in heaven who is specifically in charge of military affairs. Usually, military power is in the hands of various functional departments. When there is a real need for war, the troops will be gathered together to go into battle.

Phoenix has its own army belonging to Emperor Ziwei, Li Jing has his own army, and even the Giant Spirit has hundreds of elite heavenly soldiers under his command.

Haotian asked Wen Zhong to practice the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, which was a means of seizing military power from the hands of many gods. Fenghuang asked Li Jing to inherit Wen Zhong's work, which was a continuation of this method.

Now that Haotian has appointed Li Jing as the Great Marshal of Demon Subjugation, Li Jing has further gained the right to mobilize troops with justification.

Only 20,000 troops were mobilized from the Jade Emperor's direct line, and the remaining 80,000 troops were all summoned from powerful departments such as the South Heaven Gate, the Thunder Department, the Siming Palace, the Silu Palace, and the Lingguan Palace.

Not satisfied? I have the decree of the Emperor Haotian in my hand. Do you want to disobey it?

Li Jing's ability to command troops was much stronger than his ability to practice cultivation. He led 20,000 of his own troops and 80,000 of miscellaneous troops, drove more than a hundred fairy palaces that looked like stars, left the South Heaven Gate, and marched towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain in a mighty manner.

Li Jing was in command in his own Demon-Subduing Palace, and all the generals were under his control.

He cast several spells, and thousands of golden lights emanated from the outside of the fairy palace. The magic mirror inside not only outlined the outline of the battlefield covering tens of millions of miles, but also fully displayed the deployment of troops in the Flower-Fruit Mountain below.

Sun Wukong felt the fairy palace's surveillance and tried to cover himself with cloud and mist magic, but his magic was not well learned. There was a formation specially arranged by the phoenix in Li Jing's fairy palace for subduing demons, which dispersed the monkey's cloud and mist in a moment.

Knowing that he was not good at this, Sun Wukong smiled contemptuously, drank by himself, and no longer paid attention to the Demon-Subduing Palace's surveillance of the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

At this time, the 47,000 monkey soldiers, led by the two marshals Ma and Liu and the two generals Beng and Ba, had already formed their battle formations early.

The seventy-two cave demon kings conquered by Monkey King were arranged on both wings. The two one-horned demon kings who had previously suggested that he be called "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven" were in the front row and seemed to be the vanguard.

"Which general is willing to lead the charge?" Li Jing, wearing golden armor, asked loudly in the fairy palace.

The heavenly generals were quiet, and no one spoke a word.

Nezha also did not give face to his father.

He was the vanguard officer of Haotianfeng, but he didn't take Haotian seriously at all and just thought Haotian was talking nonsense.

He shouldered the Fire Dragon Spear, his eyes thoughtful as he stared intently at Monkey King. He paid no attention to the others, like the One-Horned Demon King, the Demon King, or the Monkey Marshal. He had no interest in clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. After a few glances, he felt tired and yawned, closing his eyes as if to take a nap.

Li Jing didn't even look at him. He asked twice more, but still no one said anything, so he directly called for the general.

"The Western Dipper Star Lord was once a famous general of the Shang Dynasty. I heard that he is highly regarded by the Lord of the Gou Chen. Let him lead the charge."

The God of the Western Dipper is not one god, but five gods. The one that Li Jing has pointed out is one of them. His name is Hu Sheng. Before he was deified, he was the commander of Jiameng Pass in the Shang Dynasty.

Ji Xukun wanted to surrender to Xiqi, so he surrendered and Hu Sheng died in the chaos. (Chapter 235)
The nine-tailed fox spirit originally chose Daji as her body to possess, but was beaten by Deng Chanyu and nearly died. She then chose Hu Shi, who was the daughter of Hu Sheng. (Chapter 115)
What can we say about Hu Sheng? A look at his life shows that he had some luck, but not much; he had some talent, but not much; he died in battle and was listed on the list; he obtained the position of the God of the Western Dipper; after going to the Heavenly Court, he joined the side of Lei Zhenzi, the God of Gou Chen; now he has two thousand heavenly soldiers and more than ten heavenly generals under his command.

Hu Sheng didn't know why Li Jing chose him to go to Huaguo Mountain, and he didn't know why he had to lead the charge. He was hesitant for a moment.

Li Jing's expression remained calm. "Does the Western Dipper have any questions?"

Hu Sheng really didn't have the courage to disobey the order. He had to go up at this time, whether he wanted to or not.

He laughed proudly, "You are joking, Marshal. What good can a mere bunch of monkeys from the mountains do? Marshal, please sit back for a moment while I lead my men to capture them and hand them over to Your Majesty for his punishment!"

He genuinely didn't take Huaguo Mountain seriously. Who was he? He was a deity, a star god. A bunch of monkeys, wouldn't that be easy to capture? He was just afraid that Li Jing would embezzle his credit.

Li Jing said loudly, "If Xingjun succeeds in this battle, I will definitely commend him to His Majesty."

"Okay!" Hu Sheng led three thousand heavenly soldiers and left the Demon-Subduing Palace and landed on the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The West is dominated by killing and destruction. Hu Sheng, the God of the Western Dipper, practiced a set of exercises with gold-based spiritual materials as the core, focusing more on body refining.

He believed that he could defeat a hundred of his former selves as a military general of the Shang Dynasty. There was a huge gap between immortals and mortals. Coupled with the armor and weapons equipped by Heaven for the God of the Western Dipper, he even believed that he could break through the Flower-Fruit Mountain by himself.

"My men, charge!" His nature was hard to change. When facing the battle, he returned to the nature of a Shang Dynasty general. He watched from behind and let the heavenly soldiers and generals test the enemy's strength.

He was facing the two one-horned ghost kings.

As the "helper" sent by the Bull Demon King to Sun Wukong, the One-horned Ghost King is quite powerful. The ghost soldiers under his command roared continuously and waved the soul-calling flags quickly, and soon a black cloud with a radius of one hundred miles was condensed. Many ghost soldiers and ghost generals fought under the cover of the black cloud, and their combat power was not much worse than that of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Hu Sheng watched for a while, and after gaining some understanding of the strength of Huaguo Mountain, he held a big knife, shouted loudly, and slashed at the One-Horned Demon King.

The next moment, he met a pair of gloomy, dead eyes without any life in them.

Hu Sheng was refining a kind of metal-type spiritual material called Dragon Scale Iron in his body. The One-Horned Ghost King's eyes made him dazed for a moment, and then a stream of pure metal-type spiritual energy rushed out from the Dragon Scale Iron, which not only helped him regain his consciousness, but also increased his strength by 30%. The big knife whistled and chopped towards the One-Horned Ghost King's neck.
