Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 189 Divided into Six

Golden Wind Canyon is actually part of a mountain range that extends into the sea; further west lies a mountain range that resembles a plain.

It's called a mountain range because the base of the mountain is still there.

The reason it resembles a plain is that the exposed mountain peaks have all been devoured by the [Gold] divine beasts, making it appear flat from a distance.

It seems that because the [metal] divine beasts are affected by the Yin Sha, they prefer to gnaw on the mountains in the southern region, while further north, towering peaks serve as a natural barrier.

In this plan to annihilate the Golden Fiend Cloud, the Evil Fairy Xiu will lead the three major demon clans to attack from the north, while various external forces will block the retreat of the [Golden Nature] divine beasts from the south, giving them no chance to escape.

Jinshan Sect is responsible for the west, Longshan Sect for the east, Qianbian Town for the southwest, and Jinfeng County for the southeast. Each team has a trump card at the level of immortals or gods.

Although the Golden Flame Spirit Weapon took the Golden Mountain Immortal Seal to deal with the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud, over such a long period of time, the Golden Mountain Sect also used the treasures obtained from the Snow Mountain Trade Fair to refine another immortal artifact.

As the four teams set off, Chief Liu of the Golden Mountain Sect said with anticipation, "I've long coveted this mineral mountain range occupied by the [Golden Nature] divine beasts. If we can take control of this place, we'll be rich in the future!"

The Frosty Hills also have mineral veins, but many have been mined by the Goat-Headed Elves over the long years. This vast mountain range, inhabited by the [Gold] Divine Beast, is far richer.

Long Teng of the Longshan Sect followed behind the group, his face full of excitement: "When I fell into the hands of the Goat-Headed Elf last time, I had just advanced to the advanced cultivation level. Now, almost a year has passed, and it's time to prove myself!"

Despite being protected by two guardian elders, Long Teng was still captured by the monster from the spiritual vein, a disgrace that haunted him for life.

Now that Long Teng is not only stronger, but has also joined a team composed of elders from the Longshan Sect, he is naturally going to have a good fight.

The Ninth Elder of the Dragon Mountain Sect, who was in charge of constructing the Azure Dragon Formation, naturally noticed Long Teng's excitement and couldn't help but remind him: "Although we only need to deal with the [Metal-type] divine beasts, we should not underestimate them."

"Over the long years, these [metallic] divine beasts have even devoured these mountains, and each of them is probably at the level of a demon king."

"Given the tangible and intangible disparities, our offensive capabilities will inevitably be significantly reduced. This great battle will not prioritize offense; our primary task is simply to hold them off as much as possible!"

Fortunately, the humans in this blessed land all live in the underground space in the east, so even if the [metal element] divine beasts run rampant, they won't make the cultivators hesitate to act.

The incident involving the demons in Lunzhou more than a decade ago was so troublesome precisely because the demon king occupied seven counties and threatened the entire population.

Otherwise, the so-called Bloodline Demon King wouldn't have such a strong oppressive force.

"Elder Ninth is right, we must strive for a safe and secure operation this time!" Long Teng, knowing the importance of the matter, quickly gave his assurance.

Although the Ninth Elder is not a Dao Seed, he is a master-level figure skilled in formations, and even has the potential to cultivate into an immortal through unconventional means. He is highly valued by the Dragon Mountain Sect.

The reason why Longshan Sect is known as the fourth Xuanmen in Yuzhou is because there are not many Xuanxian Dao Fruits within it. Some people will compete for the inheritance, while others choose a path outside the sect.

The art of array formations is like the art of mechanisms; one can draw on the strengths of many schools and find a new path. The Ninth Elder of the Dragon Mountain Sect studied the wood-attribute array formations.

As the four teams set off, the Longshan Sect team formed the Azure Dragon Formation. Although it was not as elite as when they rescued Long Teng, it still gathered twenty-one Ghost King-level cultivators.

The Azure Dragon Formation requires at least nineteen Ghost Kings to maintain, with the extra two being the Ninth Elder, who leads the formation, and the Third Elder, who possesses invincible defense.

As the four teams arrived at their pre-planned locations, the four minor immortals of the blessed land and the Golden Flame Spirit Lord began their operation.

In an instant, figures appeared in the east, west, south, north, and above.

Jin Yanlingjun, an old man with white hair, kept a low profile when he went to Jinfeng County to invite Mo Linglong. In reality, he was a Dao Seed of the Jinshan Sect with invincible combat power. He formed a formation with many gods and rode the Jinshan Immortal Seal to block the southernmost point.

The four minor immortals were all powerful, among them the righteous-looking young man was the evil immortal Zixiu, who held a tiger-headed divine blade, and a white tiger phantom was faintly appearing behind him.

Mo Linglong said coldly, "Just as the little immortal of the Snow Mountain Bear Clan said, the evil immortal Zixiu has taken the White Tiger Divine Blade of the White Tiger Immortal General for himself, and his strength is already at the top level among all the little immortals!"

In Mo Linglong's memory, her peak in her previous life was that of a third-level Xuanxian, and her combat strength was only that of a top-tier immortal soldier.

This is also why the major powers are unwilling to confront each other directly. Even though the Immortal Lord has invincible immortal weapon power with the help of the six White Tiger Divine Pillars, he can only operate in the eastern region. Apart from protecting the human race here, he can hardly play any other role.

The True Immortal Master Zhenyi is an immortal who is not good at fighting. Under the suppression of the blessed land, he should only have the combat power of a top-level immortal soldier. At most, he can fight against the evil immortal Zixiu, but he cannot stop the wolf clan minor immortal, snake clan minor immortal and tiger clan minor immortal.

Su Ji kept observing his surroundings, but he remained vigilant: "I hope the strategy of using one wolf to devour another will proceed smoothly..."

The so-called "driving away wolves to devour tigers" was a plan devised by various external forces and the cultivators of the Golden Cave Sect, with the aim of having the eight minor immortals help the external cultivators eliminate the evil spirits.

However, even if things go very smoothly, there is still a 10% chance of failure in the calculations of the Heavenly Calculation.

In this siege of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud, the Evil Immortal Zixiu only selected three minor immortals from the Tiger Clan, Wolf Clan, and Snake Clan. This seemed like a good move, but it could also be a calculated move to annihilate the elite of the foreign cultivators in this battle.

Therefore, Su Ji did not let his guard down. If any of the four little fairies showed any abnormality, saving their lives would become the most important thing.

Knowing Su Ji's worries, Zhang Gong, the local earth god, transmitted his voice and said, "In order to prove his legitimacy, the evil immortal Zixiu will definitely not go back on his word. It would not benefit him to plot against us. We should put our minds at ease."

It's not that the local deity Zhang Gong is contradicting him, but the current situation is very clear: if Zixiu rebels, it would be tantamount to making enemies of all major forces, and in the end, he would only be courting his own destruction.

Su Ji certainly understood this principle, but it's better to be safe than sorry, so caution was still essential.

Just as the cultivators on the ground began to approach, the battle in the sky broke out first.

Since the last time the Golden Fiend Cloud was injured by the divine artifacts from the exit of the blessed land, it returned to this flat mountain range to recuperate, and only began to roam again at the beginning of the year.

Because the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud had an instinctive fear of the gap in the blessed land, it moved its activity range to the north, resulting in the tragic deaths of some members of the Fengshan Tiger Clan.

As a result, the Tiger Clan Little Immortal had the highest fighting spirit in this operation to wipe out the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud.

After the tiger-clan minor immortal manifested his Dharma form, he became a massive white tiger, fourteen or fifteen zhang long, with a long spear hovering around his body and spinning continuously. In a flash, he charged towards the hiding place of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud.

"boom!"

Even though the Tiger Clan's Little Immortal was merely a tangible yet intangible immortal dharma form, this spear still penetrated more than three zhang deep into the ground, and burst forth with intense killing intent centered on the point of attack.

In an instant, the Golden Fiend Cloud, which had been devouring minerals underground, seemed to have been provoked and rushed outwards in a fit of rage.

"Boom-boom-"

As if suddenly awakened, some of the [Golden Nature] divine beasts angrily rushed out of their nests, while others abruptly stood up from under the rocks, their eyes filled with ferocity as they looked around.

As soon as the Golden Fiend Cloud reached mid-air, it saw a group of minor immortals who, instead of retreating, surged forward with massive bodies nearly a hundred feet long and charged towards the White Tiger minor immortal.

"Well done!" These little immortals had lived in this world for so long that they naturally knew of the existence of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud. However, the opponent was too huge, making it not only difficult to kill but also adding unnecessary risks to themselves, so they had ignored it.

Now that the ancient formation has cracked, the blessed land has finally made contact with the outside world. These little immortals who once rebelled naturally need to establish their personas and show an attitude of irreconcilable enmity with these evil demons.

Then, the White Tiger Fairy and the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud began their battle from a distance of over a thousand feet. Even though the White Tiger Fairy was the attacker, it still did not cause any damage to the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud.

Yan Tianchou immediately began to analyze: "From the current point of view, the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud has the defense of a top-tier immortal weapon, while the White Tiger Little Immortal, even with the help of a divine weapon, is only a powerful immortal weapon. It cannot harm the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud on its own."

The Golden Fiend Cloud has a strong defense and can dissipate a lot of power like a cloud. It is not difficult to hurt it, but it is difficult to severely injure or even kill it.

At this moment, the little immortal cultivator said righteously, "Golden Fiend Demon Cloud, we have wanted to kill you for so many years, but we were afraid of causing another war, so we let you run rampant in the south. Now that a war is about to break out, we will use you as our first target!"

Once a war breaks out with the Golden Fiend Cloud, it could provoke the evil forces beneath the White Mist Rift to take action.

Of course, in principle, it is the natural mission of all the lesser immortals to eradicate evil spirits, but the lesser immortals have their own reasons, which is to continue to endure until the evil forces are weaker before they make their move.

The wolf fairy, wearing a pair of tattered claw gloves, rushed out first: "Brother Tiger Fury, I'm here to help you!"

Then, the black snake fairy, which was more than 20 feet long, suddenly disappeared, while dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Su Ji's expression shifted slightly, and he quickly used his Lesser Thousand-Mile Eyes, immediately spotting a constantly leaping black snake shadow within the dark clouds.

"The Tiger Clan Fairy and the Wolf Clan Fairy are skilled in close combat, while the Snake Clan Fairy can summon clouds and perform magic. The latter can actually deal more damage to the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud."

Close combat emphasizes quick reflexes and targeting weaknesses. Even though each move by the Tiger Clan Fairy and the Wolf Clan Fairy could be considered a low-grade mastery immortal technique, it still couldn't harm the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud at its core.

However, the snake fairy can accumulate power when casting spells from a distance, allowing her to unleash even greater power.

As expected, as the dark clouds grew thicker, an aura of immortal magic comparable to that of a top-tier immortal soldier appeared.

"Golden Water Black Cloud Arrow!"

Immediately, a huge arrow made of black water fell from the sky, which was more than thirty feet long.

Jin Sha Mo Yun finally felt threatened. Ignoring the attacks from the Tiger Clan Fairy and the Wolf Clan Fairy, he tried to dodge to one side.

"kill!"

Zixiu Xiexian seized the opportunity and poured all his power into the White Tiger Divine Blade in front of him.

Instantly, white blade light pulsed around the White Tiger Divine Blade, transforming into a massive blade of energy over twenty feet long, which slashed towards the Golden Mountain Demon Cloud, who was trying to dodge.

Seeing this, the Golden Flame Spirit Lord did not hesitate either. He harnessed the power of the array formed by the gods and activated the Golden Mountain Immortal Seal.

The Golden Mountain Immortal Seal is a low-grade but excellent immortal artifact. Its immortal techniques were originally only mediocre, but under the control of a group of gods, it exerted a powerful suppressive force.

Even Su Ji was somewhat shocked: "The Golden Mountain Immortal Seal was refined by the gods as a divine artifact, and under the influence of the immense power of incense offerings and prayers, it actually possesses such power!"

Perhaps this suppressive force can only affect the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud for a moment, and once it is broken free, it can either attack or escape.

However, now that the four little immortals are attacking together, the golden demonic cloud, which should have been able to dodge most of its power, is suddenly halted and can only endure the attacks.

"boom!"

In an instant, the left side of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud in the sky was pierced by the Golden Water Black Cloud Arrow, while the right side was torn open with a gash that was more than ten feet long.

The tiger and wolf fairy members immediately grabbed their weapons and charged forward, one after the other, they both entered the body of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The battle in the sky escalated into a fierce fight from the very beginning, while the two sides on the ground finally began to detach themselves.

"As expected, these [metal element] divine beasts are all at the demon king level. Killing them will not be easy..."

Fortunately, Mo Linglong and the others' primary objective was not to eliminate the enemy, but to prevent these [metallic] divine beasts from being frightened away. They could easily find a place to hide, making them difficult to hunt down.

Despite his powerful offensive abilities, the white-robed cultivator Lu Lan was no match for the local spirit officials who excelled at encirclement. He could only work with Su Ji to try and attract the attention of the [metal element] divine beast, thus beginning a battle of attrition.

In this respect, the Azure Dragon Formation of the Dragon Mountain Sect was only so-so. Fortunately, the Ninth Elder took out the array flags and began to set up the illusion array, which had a very good effect.

The Thousand Changes Town had an even more ingenious trick: they threw out some mid-grade mechanical puppets as consumables, which attracted the attention of many [metal element] divine beasts. In addition, with the power of the Exquisite Immortal Furnace in Mo Linglong's hand, they actually began to refine the iron monkey.

The Golden Mountain Sect also possesses a low-grade immortal artifact, so they are not afraid of these golden divine beasts.

As the battle below became increasingly intense, the fighting in the sky reached its most fierce moment.

Inside, the Tiger Clan Fairy and the Wolf Clan Fairy, while Golden Flame Spirit Lord, Evil Immortal Zixiu, and the Snake Clan Fairy were outside, completely suppressed Golden Fiend Demon Cloud and left various injuries on Golden Fiend Demon Cloud's body and inside his body.

Just when it seemed that the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud would be severely damaged in a dozen breaths, it suddenly went berserk and exploded like a self-destruction.

In an instant, the Tiger Clan Fairy and the Wolf Clan Fairy were injured by the force of the explosion, and the White Tiger Divine Blade was also blown away. The Evil Immortal Zixiu and the Snake Clan Fairy hurriedly resisted the aftershocks of the explosion, and the Golden Flame Spirit Lord immediately led the gods to retreat.

At the same time, six golden demonic clouds, each over twenty feet in size, flew in all directions, attempting to escape the encirclement.

The battle range in the sky is only about a hundred feet, while the battle range on the ground is more dispersed, spanning several thousand feet.

Immortal Zixiu immediately shouted, "All combat teams, quickly stop the clones created by the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud!"

The Golden Fiend Cloud moves extremely fast, making it difficult to catch up. However, if it can be slightly obstructed, it can buy some time.

Even without the evil immortal's reminder, many cultivators knew the gravity of the situation.

And so, Mo Linglong, holding the Linglong Immortal Furnace, soared into the air; the white-robed high-ranking cultivator of the Taibai Dragon Clan transformed into a sword light; and the Third Elder of the Dragon Mountain Sect transformed directly into a massive tree...

Su Ji did not leap into the air; instead, he simply pointed his finger, and a gust of earth-yang energy, like a tornado, blasted towards the nearest golden demon cloud clone.
