Chapter 507 The Web of Divine Path, The Name of the Three Immortal Mountains

Li Wushou looked up.

Golden clouds filled the sky above the Three Immortals Mountain.

The rich power of incense was converging from all directions, transforming into the shadow of the Three Immortals Mountain of Incense, which floated directly above Li Wushou's thatched hut.

Although it is heavy and imposing, it is not oppressive.

Of course, this was just Li Wushou's perception, because this sacred mountain of incense belonged to him.

It is quite normal for others to be shocked when they see it.

Beneath this sacred mountain of incense, the Paper Goddess once again transformed into a three-headed, six-armed figure, diligently refining the incense offerings.

With continuous hand seals, incense sticks and golden beads fell into the paper bag in front of him.

The Paper Goddess was overjoyed to see Li Wushou emerge from seclusion.

His attention was divided, and a graceful figure stood before Li Wushou, smiling and curtsying in greeting:

"Second Master, are you hungry? I have prepared plenty of food here."

As they were talking, a paper bag was quietly opened, revealing a series of long tables set out, displaying a variety of delicious foods, totaling nine tables.

Although Li Wushou had been eating all this time, he was also tempted by this scene.

Just as he was about to wave his hand to clear away the six tables and return them to the Three Immortals Pavilion, he saw the Paper Goddess take out two more paper bags, shake them, and laugh:
"These are all prepared for the Second Master. The First Master and the Third Master have also received theirs. They are here."

Li Wushou was taken aback, took the paper bag, and returned it to the Three Immortals Pavilion.

Chen Gou'er, the old beggar, was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, and he loudly praised the Paper Goddess.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou revealed a slight smile.

"I'm determined!"

Then they sat down at the table and began to enjoy their meal.

The Paper Goddess was overjoyed and sat beside him, quietly watching Li Wushou eat.

Li Wushou ate at five tables in one go before slowing down and asking the Paper Goddess:
"How is the establishment of the divine path network progressing?"

The paper goddess straightened up, her chin resting on her hand, and quickly replied:

"Reporting to the Second Master, during this period, I have been studying the previous shrine on Sparrow God Mountain while also consulting with Heavenly God Li Xing and Heavenly God Chi Xiu."

I've released those divine sparrow spirits these past few days.

With the combined spiritual bodies of more than a dozen original Fengling Dao True Monarchs, secretly in accordance with the methods of the Heavenly Gang Stars, they were stationed in many major cities, imparting the methods of divine worship of the Three Immortal Mountains, and finally initially established the divine lineage within the Fengling Dao.

I was just now performing a ritual to consecrate incense according to the divine methods taught by the Second Master.

Li Wushou nodded slightly and ate at the next table.

Looking up at the sky, one can see that the Paper Goddess has done her best to gather so much incense in just over ten days.

So he began to praise:
"Well done!"

The Paper Goddess was overjoyed upon hearing this, but her expression immediately turned serious, and she hesitated.

Seeing this, Li Wushou put down his food and asked...
"But what difficulties are there?"

The Paper Goddess hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Reporting to the Second Master, although the Fengling Dao originally valued the Divine Dao, the Divine Dao mostly served the Fengling Dao's methods. The gods born from it were either sealed away or were too low-level to be wanted by anyone."

At this moment, after the collapse of the shrine on Mount Queshen, no divine foundation remains.

Although the divine spirits and some True Lord spirits have been mobilized to urgently construct the divine network, each link is too weak.

If someone forcibly kills a deity in one of the Heavenly Star positions, the network of incense offerings will be breached.

We still don't have enough manpower!

Li Wushou remained unmoved upon hearing this, as he had actually anticipated this.

After finishing the rest of the meat, Li Wushou wiped his mouth and said:

"In that case, I will grant you two-tenths of the incense offerings. Following the style of Huazhou, you may set up City God statues in various towns along the Fengling Road, and then elect twelve righteous Heavenly Gods and twelve deputy Heavenly Gods to fill the incense offerings network."

You can choose the person yourself, or you can ask a talisman master for a recommendation.

Upon hearing this, the Paper Goddess quickly stood up and excitedly replied:
"Thank you, Second Master. Paper Guanyin will do her utmost to accumulate more incense offerings for you."

Li Wushou waved his hand and pressed the paper goddess back into her seat. Even so, compared to the size of the territory at this moment, there were still very few people.

But Li Wushou could only do this for now; taking out 20% of these incense offerings was already the result of his frugal living.

After calming the paper goddess down, Li Wushou continued to ask:

"Any other questions?"

The Paper Goddess was about to shake her head when she suddenly seemed to remember something and replied to Li Wushou:
"The original territory belonging to the Sealed Spirit Path should be fine, but there seems to be some trouble with the territory that was swallowed up in the Central Domain, so it should be slower."

Some time ago, Abbot Huang, along with Jinpeng, Xuanyang, the talisman master, and others, crossed the original Yanyang Mountains and the Domain River, saying they were preparing to take over the territory there.

It just doesn't seem to be going very smoothly.

The local people and Taoist practitioners don't seem to really approve of the Three Immortal Mountains.

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou smiled slightly.

He had heard a little about these things.

Before refining the Divine Golden Pearl and the Crystal Sacred Domain Heart, the Talisman Master and others devised a plan.

Now that it has been confirmed that the Great Venerable will not personally intervene, everyone felt that there was no time to lose and that they should seize those territories as soon as possible to spread the fame of the Three Immortal Mountains.

When asked for instructions, Li Wushou naturally had no objections. He didn't pay much attention to the specific details of the plan, only instructing the talisman master: "Go ahead and do your best to gather the incense offerings as quickly as possible," and then he readily agreed.

The talisman master sent back information twice, so Li Wushou was now fully aware of the situation in the Central Region.

The reality was far worse than the cautious and discreet description given by the Paper Goddess.

The Central Domain is a domain with two supreme beings. From the immortal cultivators to the common people, who wouldn't feel honored and proud to be a subject of two supreme beings?

At this moment, a Three Immortals Mountain that appeared out of nowhere has seized the Dao Fruit of the Sealed Spirit Dao Sparrow Venerable and wants to make them submit to its command.

There are no doors!

Some of the more capable immortal families have even begun to migrate, hoping to return to the Central Domain.

Ordinary people who lack the means to submit sincerely pray to the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Master of Xuanhuang Temple every day, begging for their descent.

Huang Shigong and others had no other choice but to seal off the borders of their territory in order to maintain the incense offerings.

As a result, the backlash was even stronger.

Dao Yan, the flag bearers, and others from the Central Domain also began to enter the border area and started negotiations.

Chaos erupted instantly!
In fact, things wouldn't have gotten this chaotic. Even if the people of the Central Region looked down on the Three Immortal Mountains, they wouldn't have faced such violence and dared to defy their superiors.

Pride is a double honor, but life is one's own.

Especially since the two Venerable Ones lost their territory and have not shown their faces for a long time, anyone with discerning eyes knows that something is amiss.

But as time went on, these immortal families discovered that Huang Shigong and the others had only sealed off the borders of their territories without killing anyone, and they became bolder.

Upon seeing Dao Yan and the others arrive, they further fueled the flames and stirred up public opinion.

What they didn't know was that, besides their own efforts to fuel the flames...

Under Li Wushou's instruction, the talisman masters were doing the same thing, and their influence spread not only throughout the Central Region but also throughout the Fubo Region and even further afield.

The content about the talisman masters was even more appalling, and they were extremely disparaging of the Three Immortal Mountains.

For example, one of the so-called Three Immortals of the Three Immortals Mountain is the Left Elder Jin Peng, a traitor from the original Sparrow God Mountain who has mastered the chaotic Daoist rhyme. He has betrayed the Sparrow Lord and now presumptuously calls himself an Immortal.

There is another one, who embodies both Yin and Yang, once ate his own wife, mastered the Dao of Yin and Yang, and is known as the Yin-Yang Immortal.

The last one was even more infuriating to the Central Region: Huang Shigong, the master of Xuanhuang Temple, died in the Battle of Zhongtian Pass.

His body was nowhere to be found. It was thought that he had ascended to immortality, but it turned out that he was eaten by a flesh and blood spirit of Fenglingdao, who also stole the Xuanhuang Daoist essence of the Scripture Transmission Master and called himself Xuanhuang Immortal.

Having mastered the Daoist principles, one is indeed a top-tier individual.

But to falsely claim to be the Three Immortals?
This made the people of the Central Domain, who had grown up listening to the story of the Two Venerables, scoff at it.

I always felt that the three people's behavior reeked of pettiness and smugness, and was full of the flavor of smugness.

Therefore, they are even more resistant!

Amidst the fervent public opinion, the immortal clans, initially blocked at the border, were still smugly pleased with themselves.

They also realized that "Sanxian Mountain" wanted incense offerings.

Given such public opinion, even if incense is forcibly burned, the poison contained in the incense will require a great deal of effort to cleanse itself, making it a losing proposition.

But with the help of the talisman masters, the other families also heard these rumors.

For a moment, everyone's hearts began to pound with fear.

Yes!
They also felt that the "Three Immortals" were somewhat disrespectable.

But those were truly top-tier experts who had mastered the Dao!

A few complaints are one thing, but this level of denigration is quite another.
If the "Three Immortals" are enraged and massacre the border, where can they seek justice?
In particular, it's clear that neither of them seems to be involved.

This made life almost unbearable for the families living on the border.

When Li Wushou saw this information, he also found it interesting.

Such promotion of the Three Immortals Mountain is not for any kind of perverse pleasure.

The Three Immortals Mountain lacks sufficient resources. If it wants to completely swallow up such a large territory as the Central Region, it can only slowly erode it unless it has the power to suppress the universe like Wu Zhuangyuan.

But he doesn't have the time to slowly while away the time, and no one will give him that time.

Therefore, he needed a grand massacre to announce the birth of the Three Immortals Mountain to everyone and to commemorate its fame.

This killing was naturally not directed at the common people, nor at ordinary immortal cultivators.

These people are too insignificant!
It would be best to use the blood of a venerable one to warn everyone.

But a Venerable One is rare and hard to come by, and even Li Wushou might not be able to handle him.

As a second choice, Li Wushou's target is those top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators who aspire to become Venerable Ones.

With the Three Immortals Mountain's fame spreading throughout the Three Realms, he refused to believe that these people could truly endure it!
Slowly standing up, Li Wushou refused the Paper Goddess's offer to bring out more meat and stretched.

With a thought, the five elements of the Three Immortal Mountains converged, enveloping the main mountain in a mist. Yin and Yang, chaos, and the three paths of Xuanhuang rose up around it.

The Daoist principles intertwined with heaven and earth, breaking the original seal, and the three Daoist principles appeared and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Li Wushou flipped his palm and took out the wooden board hanging above the gate of the Sanxianguan courtyard. He hung it at the entrance of the thatched hut, and the incense in the sky immediately interacted with the three characters "Sanxianguan" above it.

Then the entire main peak of Sanxian Mountain disappeared from its original location.

Li Wushou turned around, and the yin-yang golden pattern between his eyebrows opened. The Tree Goddess stepped out and stood beside the Paper Goddess.

Li Wushou looked at the two of them and said softly:
"You all stay here and watch over the main mountain. Don't worry about the rest. I'm going to go outside and take a look."
