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

The Toad Palace is located in the center of the Taiyin Divine Kingdom, where many immortals and gods reside.

When news of the duel between Jiuyin Mountain and the Golden Toad God spread, it attracted the attention of hundreds of immortals and gods, and many even came from thousands of miles away just to witness the duel.

Due to the limitations of Dao Fruit, the number of Xuanxian is only a few hundred; however, the number of ancient gods, spirits, true immortals, and ghost immortals is not limited, and the Taiyin Divine Kingdom alone has tens of thousands of immortals and gods.

Jiuyin Mountain is a very traditional ancient god. He has fought with Jiuyin Mountain more than ten times in the past and has only lost twice. He is favored by many gods and immortals.

The Golden Toad General is known to many immortals and gods because of the mysterious powerful being behind him, and the immortals and gods are more curious about which powerful being it is.

Due to the rules of the duel, neither side could use divine [talismans] or bloodline magic weapons, and the duel was restricted to a place called the War God Platform.

On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, many immortals and gods came to the War God Platform. In addition to the immortal generals and divine generals, two divine lords also came.

One of them was the Jade Rabbit God, who resembled a handsome young man; the other was the Old Yin God who guarded the Toad Palace, who looked like a dignified and noble old lady.

The Jade Rabbit God once personally brought Su Ji to the Taiyin Star and sensed Su Ji's heavenly lightning power on the way, so he was quite looking forward to this battle.

"The Golden Toad General wields the heavenly thunder, which is both moderate and powerful yet explosive, while the Nine Yin Mountain possesses the proud physical body of an ancient god... The final outcome will likely depend on who can endure the longest!"

If the Golden Toad General exhausts its magic power first, then Jiuyin Mountain wins; if Jiuyin Mountain cannot withstand the heavenly lightning first, then the Golden Toad General wins.

"Heavenly thunder..." Old Yin God only murmured once before becoming somewhat lost in thought.

Although Lao Yin Shenjun did not see any trace of Shao Yin Shenjun in Jin Chan Shenjiang, he always felt that Jin Chan Shenjiang and Shao Yin Shenjun had some connection.

"Dong!" Just as the Old Yin God Lord seemed to be reminiscing about the past, the gong on the War God Platform sounded, indicating that the competition was about to begin.

The Battle God Platform is about a thousand feet in circumference, with not only mountains and forests and pools, but also floating clouds and golden clouds, like a semi-enclosed little world.

Soon, an ancient god with a crimson body, a human face, and a snake's body came from the west. It had dragon horns on its head, long hair on its body, and was fourteen or fifteen feet long. It was none other than Jiuyin Mountain, the offspring of the ancient god Zhujiuyin.

It is said that Zhu Jiuyin was an ancient god from ancient times who controlled the alternation of the sun and moon in a high-level blessed land. After something happened in his blessed land, he chose to ascend to the Taiyin Star.

Zhujiuyin is one of the few ancient gods capable of reproduction, and it is neither male nor female. Some immortals even believe that all of Zhujiuyin's descendants are its incarnations.

The Nine Yin Mountain before them belonged to the most warlike branch of Zhu Jiuyin's descendants. With each step, their fighting spirit intensified, and upon reaching the War God Platform, even their eyes burned with the flames of battle intent.

Where is the Golden Toad General?

A deep, resounding shout echoed from the mouth of Jiuyin Mountain, igniting the atmosphere of the entire War God Platform.

"The Golden Toad General is here!"

With a response from Master Kong Xiang, Su Ji's body burst forth with streaks of lightning, and he soared into the sky like a thunder god.

Instantly, almost all the gods and immortals turned their gazes toward it, and a murmur of discussion arose.

"The Golden Toad General carries heavenly thunder; could he be a subordinate of the Thunder Department Marquis of the Heavenly Court?" The Thunder Department Marquis was also a powerful figure, but he had no ambition for the position of Heavenly Emperor and treated the Thunder Department Palace of the Heavenly Court as a place of practice.

"It couldn't be Lei Bu Tianhou, otherwise they wouldn't dare to establish a temple here in the name of a Heavenly Court general..."

The Heavenly Court is the sacred ground of the Five Emperors and does not belong to the same camp as the Taiyin Divine Kingdom. Even if the Heavenly Court deities come to settle on Taiyin Star, they should do so in their private capacity.

"I thought the Golden Toad General was all talk and no action, but I never imagined he actually had the confidence to fight against the Nine Yin Mountain!"

The Five Elements and Yin-Yang each have their own strengths, but they all rely heavily on favorable timing and location.

While the same applies to heavenly lightning, it seems to have no upper limit. If the accumulated power of heavenly lightning is strong enough, it can even easily fight against opponents of higher levels.

Jiuyin Mountain had already heard some rumors, and now seeing the Golden Toad General surrounded by heavenly thunder, yet still showing no sign of backing down, it even clamored:
"Thunderbolts are powerful, but extremely difficult to lock onto. If you gamble everything and fail to achieve anything, you will surely lose this battle!"

The Thunder Gods can lock onto enemies by using divine power to activate their [command]. Most ordinary thunder magic cultivators can only set up lightning-attracting formations in advance or rely on luck. The War God Platform does not have such formations.

Su Ji did not refute this, as he had not yet fully comprehended the Yin-Yang Harmony of his [Root Method] and indeed did not have the means to lock onto the enemy's Heavenly Thunder.

However, Su Ji possesses more than just the power of heavenly lightning.

"Even heavenly lightning is divided into the five elements. Today, I will let you taste the power of the five elements heavenly lightning!"

When Dongsang Village wiped out the walking corpses of the Wu family, Lei Bu Lingjun used the Five Elements Thunder Technique.

For Su Ji, who had already mastered the mutual generation and earthly formation of the five elements, this was not a problem at all, and he used it to give the heavenly thunder the ability to locate enemies.

"Lightning Blade!"

As a golden blade crackling with heavenly lightning flew toward Mount Jiuyin, the duel officially began.

"not good!"

Jiuyin Mountain underestimated Su Ji's strength. Seeing the lightning blade flying towards them, they could only use their supernatural powers to defend themselves: "Candle Dragon Fire Essence!"

In an instant, the Zhulong's crimson fur stood on end, and strange flames converged into its mouth, quickly transforming into a crimson, blazing fire essence.

"boom!"

A burst of flame erupted from the mouth of Jiuyin Mountain, causing the lightning blade flying midway to slow down. Even if Jiuyin Mountain did not take any further action, the lightning blade would melt into smoke before it reached it.

However, Su Ji could not possibly only have this much skill. As he ruthlessly detonated the lightning blade, a curtain of rain suddenly fell from the clouds in the sky.

"Thunder and lightning curtain!" The lightning within this curtain of rain was like thunder serpents, rushing towards Jiuyin Mountain from all directions.

"Good heavens, so this was where I was waiting!"

Jiuyin Mountain, however, showed no fear. Its scales seemed to explode, and a trickle of blood turned into a blood mist that gushed out.

"Blood Burning Divine Power!"

In an instant, Mount Jiuyin transformed into a fire dragon twenty or thirty feet long. Before the rain and lightning could even touch its body, they collided with the flames on its body.

"boom!"

After a deafening roar, the lightning in the rain transformed into streaks of electricity, and Jiuyin Mountain was forced to the ground, then it was about to attack Su Ji.

Su Ji calmly replied, "Well done!"

Immediately, a burst of lightning flew from his hand, and then he stomped his foot on the ground, causing another stone pillar crackling with lightning to shoot into the sky.

Seeing this, Jiuyin Mountain panicked and could only spit the fire essence in his mouth at the lightning sparks, and condense most of the blood mist on his body into his tail, turning it into a tail hammer that smashed towards the lightning stone pillar.

With two booming sounds, Jiuyin Mountain neutralized Su Ji's two attacks.

However, before Jiuyin Mountain could pounce, a lightning spear suddenly flew towards him and collided directly with his body.

Then, the powerful body of Jiuyin Mountain was pierced by the lightning spear. Even though only the spearhead was pierced, the remaining lightning power spread along the scales, causing the ancient god of Jiuyin Mountain to tremble.

If it were just a brief paralysis, that would be one thing, but the Golden Toad General reached out and swung out another lightning-powered golden blade, causing the rain curtain in the sky to lower.

Seeing this, Jiuyin Mountain's fighting spirit vanished, and he hurriedly shouted, "I surrender!"

At this moment, blood was flowing freely from the wounds on Jiuyin Mountain's body, and his eyes were no longer as fiery as before, only filled with helplessness.

It never expected that the Golden Toad General not only possessed heavenly lightning surpassing the level of an invincible immortal weapon, but also the Five Elements magic capable of bearing the heavenly lightning, instantly making up for the deficiency of the heavenly lightning and leaving the battle with no chance of victory.

The immortals and gods watching the battle were even more shocked. Most of them thought that Jiuyin Mountain would win, but they did not expect that the Golden Toad General would win the battle in just one round.

Even the Jade Rabbit God had to exclaim, "Truly worthy of being a trailblazer!"

If the difference in level between the Five Elements Mystic Arts and Heavenly Thunder were too great, it would be impossible for them to work together so well. Clearly, the Golden Toad General's Five Elements Mystic Arts had reached the level of a mid-grade immortal technique.

While the other immortals and gods were still in shock, Master Kongxiang felt both joy and regret.

Although he knew that the Golden Toad God was very confident, he was still afraid that the losses from defeat would be too great, so he only bet one hundred yuan of divine power.

"The sect leader was truly farsighted, betting two hundred primordial divine power; he's made a killing this time!"

The sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect was none other than the Fairy Zhenyi. Now that the Golden Cave Sect is being rebuilt, the two hundred Yuan Divine Power she earned will be even more useful.

The other gods and immortals finally recovered from the outcome of the contest. Some clapped and cheered, while others exclaimed how exhilarating it was... and some who lost their divine power looked dejected.

Just then, many immortals and gods suddenly looked towards the distance.

Suddenly, a man in black robes appeared above the God of War platform. Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was a ghost immortal who had cultivated the "Taiyin Refining Form" technique.

"This one seems to be the Ghost Immortal Ji Ren from the Taiyin Sect..."

Although the ghost immortals are mysterious, they do not stay hidden away, which is why they were recognized by some immortals and gods.

The Taiyin Sect is the place where ghost immortals on the Taiyin Star cultivate the "Taiyin Refining Form" technique. It is also the origin and holy land of the Corpse Immortal Sect in the human world. It not only has ghost immortals at the level of Immortal Lord, but is also highly favored by the Taiyin Emperor.

Su Ji, who was initially overjoyed at winning the bet, couldn't help but scrutinize the ghost fairy Ji Ren as she flew over.

"Could this person be the ghost immortal who attacked and killed me back then?"

Back then, when Su Ji and Mo Linglong were returning to Jinfeng County from Jinshan Sect, they were ambushed by a celestial general. If it weren't for the third-generation patriarch of Qianbian Town detonating his Heavenly God Puppet, Su Ji might have actually been killed by the ghost immortal.

At first, he thought it was a ghost immortal from the Corpse Immortal Sect, but later he suspected it was a ghost immortal from the Taiyin Sect of the Taiyin Star... Could it be that the Taiyin Emperor Yuehou wanted to test me?

Just as Su Ji was pondering, the ghost fairy Ji Ren spoke in a sinister tone: "Golden Toad General, do you dare to have a duel with me?"

Su Ji had no idea whether this ghost immortal was the same one who had attacked him, nor did he know what the other party's purpose was.

But Su Ji was extremely confident. After all, besides the heavenly lightning restraining the evil spirits, he still had trump cards he hadn't used!
"Since it's a contest, what are you prepared to offer as the prize?"

As Su Ji finished speaking, many immortals and gods were taken aback. Some looked puzzled, while others showed joy in their eyes.

As expected, when the Ghost Immortal Ji Ren offered a celestial mine located north of the Taiyin Divine Kingdom as a wager, the Golden Toad God General agreed to the duel.

"Let's set this battle for the fifteenth of August!"

As Su Ji finished speaking, many immortals and gods became excited. It was the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month was only five days away.

The gods and immortals began to spread the word. Some gods and immortals wanted to take the opportunity to win back what they had lost, while others were looking forward to this rare duel between gods and immortals.

Even the Jade Rabbit God was somewhat uncertain, saying, "Although that Ghost Immortal Ji Ren doesn't possess the Profound Immortal Dao Fruit, she is still a genuine Immortal General. If she were to use her Taiyin Immortal Body, she would be far stronger than Jiuyin Mountain..."

The Old Yin God said, "While the Taiyin Immortal Body is indeed comparable to the God of Strength, besides the fact that the Yin evil within them is restrained by heavenly lightning, they also have a fatal weakness. The outcome is still uncertain... Even I am somewhat looking forward to this battle." (End of this chapter)
