Calabash Fairy

Chapter 103, Second Divine Intervention

Halfway up Qingfeng Mountain, after witnessing the Night Wanderer seal the rift in the Underworld, Fang Yan withdrew his divine sense. Looking at the group sleeping soundly beside him, having drunk too much spiritual wine, he sighed softly, "The Yellow Springs' upheaval that occurs once every million years has indeed caught my eye..."

However, he wasn't too worried.

Today, the many techniques and supernatural abilities he has cultivated over the years are gradually revealing their power.

Even relying solely on the Pure Yang Sword Intent and the Pure Yang Sword magic weapon in his hand, he was confident that he could fight against a great demon that had been around for four thousand years, not to mention the Pure Yang Sword Intent's ability to restrain ghosts and evil spirits.

Even if a demon with seven thousand years of cultivation were to escape, he was confident that he could use the Heavenly Gate of Sword Opening that had been nurtured within the Pure Yang Sword to kill it with a single strike.

If an insurmountable force were to appear, not only could he seek the help of the Kitchen God when that day came, but with his Plum Blossom Divination and the ever-improving Mengtou Technique, he could also know about it early, take action, and remain calm and collected.

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Techniques have been perfectly inherited, and coupled with the many opportunities he had previously encountered, the various spells and supernatural abilities he practiced complemented each other, which allowed him to cultivate peacefully on Qingfeng Mountain.

As for his cultivation, he has made quite good progress in recent years. However, cultivation requires a gradual approach and one cannot become an expert overnight.

Perhaps only the appearance of rare and precious materials like Emperor's Dew would allow his cultivation to make a significant leap forward, but such things are rare and hard to come by.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with the fact that he could advance one minor realm every hundred years and break through to the Demon King realm in less than a thousand years.

If he breaks through to the Demon King realm several hundred years later, and continuously uses the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Diagram to comprehend the Pure Yang Dao during those hundreds of years, then his understanding of the Dao will certainly be far beyond that of those who have just entered the Demon King realm.

"Now I have a solid foundation and a complete legacy; all I lack is time..."

Fang Yan slowly stood up, looking down at the peaceful and tranquil Xiahe Village at the foot of the mountain, lost in thought.

His trip to Ancient Ferry City last time strengthened his resolve to cultivate to the Demon King realm before venturing out on distant journeys.

With his current abilities, he can cultivate peacefully in the outer reaches of this vast Hundred Thousand Mountains, and there is nothing around him that can threaten him.

But during his last trip, the Kitchen God, Wen Yu, and that other person all gave him a profound warning...

The world beyond the mountains is truly vast, and those people are all free. Who knows what he might encounter if he travels there—

Until you have sufficient self-defense capabilities, it's best to stay in the mountains and cultivate your skills. Don't think about leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains and traveling around for now...

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed.

At this time, every household in Xiahe Village was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a lively celebratory atmosphere began to spread.

On this very day, the caravan that had been logging redwood in Hongmu Village finally returned to Xiahe Village, allowing Yang Xiaochuan, who was waiting at the village entrance, to breathe a sigh of relief.

This year marks the first time Xiahe Village has held a mountain god festival. From early morning, villagers come and go along the mountain path leading to the mountain god temple, and the rich aroma of incense permeates the mountaintop.

Yang Sheng also stood outside the mountain god temple early in the morning, smiling as he watched the crowds coming and going to worship.

"father!"

"grandfather!"

Soon, Yang Sheng saw Yang Dongdong and Yang Xiaoshan leading their whole family toward him from afar.

He looked at the teenagers surrounding him with a smile, especially when he saw his eldest grandson, who was walking towards him with a blushing little girl.

It seems that four generations living under one roof is not far away for the Yang family.

Wearing a scholar's robe and looking more and more like Yang Sheng in his middle age, Yang Dongdong said with a smile, "Dad, you look better and better."

Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "Do you even need to tell me that?"

Yang Dongdong still smiled憨憨地 as always, but for someone who had been teaching at the academy for many years and was already quite prestigious and respected in the village, this was the only time he would act like this in front of his own father.

Within the Qingfeng Secret Realm.

Fang Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Mountain God Seal floating in front of him, constantly absorbing the incense from the divine path. His eyes flickered slightly.

"The time has come..."

The next moment, the Mountain God Seal suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light. At the same time, in Fang Yan's perception, the territory of Qingfeng Mountain was rapidly expanding.

Eight hundred li...nine hundred li...one thousand li!

At this time, the territory of Qingfeng Mountain expanded to a radius of a thousand miles before gradually stopping and becoming completely stable. As this territory expanded, the old site of Baicao Village, which was closest to Xiahe Village back then, was also included and appeared on the edge of the territory.

At this moment, Fang Yan could easily sense any movement within a radius of a thousand miles.

The rapidly increasing aura of the Mountain God Seal stabilized once again, and with this advancement, the Mountain God Seal clearly gained some new abilities.

But most importantly, just as he had predicted, he was now able to bestow upon himself a second subordinate god.

In the ancient ferry city, Qiu'er sat at a noodle stall table on the street, enjoying her noodles while examining the many treasures in the leather pouch at her waist and pondering her next journey.

"I haven't used the talismans the Mountain God gave me much along the way, and these jars of Hundred Flower Spirit Honey were also given to me by the Mountain God to deliver to my master and grandmaster."

"I've already visited Shengjing Tower and paid my respects at the City God Temple in the ancient ferry city. I even beat up a few petty thugs who were trying to cause trouble for me. How about we take a river cruise tonight?"

"The only pity is that this year's City God's birthday celebration has ended... But as the Mountain God said, there are no perfect things in this world~"

This trip to the ancient ferry town has truly broadened her horizons. She has seen so many lively scenes and novelties that she has never seen before. No wonder the mountain god said that the world outside the mountains will not disappoint her.

However, Qiu'er did not notice that a middle-aged Taoist priest with a square face and leading a black donkey was sitting in a pavilion not far away, drinking wine and watching her.

..

"Interesting, really interesting~"

"It's only been a little over eight hundred years since my last visit to the Ten Thousand Mountains, but it seems quite a few things have changed there..."

The Taoist was stroking his beard in thought when he heard a voice that sounded somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Senior brother!! Are you even listening to me?!"

"You've been wandering outside for thousands of years, when are you finally going to return and assume your position as sect leader?!"

The Taoist glanced at the faintly glowing jade pendant at his waist, and listening to the angry voice that only he could hear, he said with a faint smile, "What do you mean by traveling? What your senior brother is doing is called experiencing the mortal world. Besides, junior brother, haven't you done a very good job as the current sect leader? In my opinion, the position of sect leader should belong to you."

The voice inside the jade tablet suddenly stopped, and a moment later, an even angrier voice came out!

"I"

Upon hearing only the first word, the Taoist priest decisively sealed the jade token, tucked it back into his sleeve, and leisurely pulled the donkey towards the city gates.

The direction we were heading was the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
