From the Valkyrie to the Endless

After hearing Ji Yunxiao's words, Shen Qing almost couldn't react for a moment. He gave up just like that?

"The longer we delay, the more variables there will be. These small fry are just sent here to pave the way."

Ji Yunxiao waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say any more words.

He turned around and glanced at Haoyin City with a sigh in his eyes. After all, he had stayed there for quite a while.

Each of these cities was a nail once driven into the country by the Central Dynasty. Now that they have been pulled out, it will not be easy to drive them back in again.

130. Chapter 130 God List, Year of Great Disaster

130.

2023-08-02

Today, although on the surface the gods rule the world and the herdsmen govern the world, the demons and evil spirits in the wilderness are not at peace.

The Central Dynasty built cities in various places, set up spirit gathering arrays, and dispatched gods to suppress the evil spirits. It hoped that over time, with the help of these cities, the evil spirits living in the wilderness would be killed.

The barren land without spiritual energy cannot support any powerful creatures. Forced into a desperate situation, those evil spirits will naturally come out of the mountains and move towards the city.

At that time, the divine generals stationed in the city will be well-rested and can easily use the large formation in the city to suppress these evil spirits and then conquer the world.

As for whether these evil spirits include those practicing sects, there is a question mark here. No one knows the truth except the Holy King Jiuyou.

Ji Yunxiao had no intention of living and dying with Hao Yincheng. Even if the situation seemed stable, he would not stay in this chaotic place for long.

According to his experience, the real danger is always hidden underwater and cannot be detected. By the time he realizes something is wrong, it is already too late to escape.

"The city lord stays."

Seeing Ji Yunxiao turning around and preparing to leave, Shen Qing quickly spoke and stated his purpose:

"I'd like a list of nearby gods."

"What do you want to do?"

Ji Yunxiao turned around with some confusion. He did not feel the aura of incense and vows from Shen Qing, and did not think too much about it for a moment.

"I just want to know the distribution of forces nearby so that I can escape in the future."

Shen Qing made up an excuse to prevaricate. Now, not only the evil gods were on her list, but also the righteous gods canonized by the court were on her hunting list if the conditions were right.

Ji Yunxiao was leaving soon, which was not bad news for her. As she was no longer constrained, she did not have to explain things in too much detail.

Hearing this, Ji Yunxiao didn't ask any more questions. He flipped his hand, took out a scroll out of thin air and threw it over.

"This is the imperial court's list of gods. All gods who have been ranked are listed above. It should be of some use to you."

Ji Yunxiao noticed that Shen Qing had other plans, but he didn't ask much. He didn't care much about Shen Qing's thoughts because they had only met once.

In some time, Haoyin City might no longer exist, and most of the gods nowadays are active elsewhere, so the information on this scroll is actually of limited use.

The reason why the Divine List was given to Shen Qing was due to a small habit of Ji Yunxiao. He had been traveling outside for many years, and whenever he met a genius younger generation who could be supported and helped, he would usually lend a helping hand.

No one can be sure that today's down-and-out young man will not be able to ascend to the sky and bind the blue dragon in the future.

It couldn't be more profitable to exchange a small profit for the favor of a future strong man.

This habit brought great benefits to Ji Yunxiao. Although he had only the cultivation level of Gangsha Realm now, many great cultivators of Shenzang Realm in major sects and even in the Central Dynasty, and even Guiyi Zhenjun, were old acquaintances with him. It could be said that he had old friends all over the world.

"Thank you City Lord."

After taking the list of gods and taking a look at it, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel happy. There were at least a hundred gods, big and small, in this vicinity, and maybe even far more. Although the population was not large, a little bit adds up to a lot, so their presence today was completely understandable.

"No need to thank me. If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to the Imperial Capital to find me. I can help you find a way out."

Ji Yunxiao shook his head slightly and made another promise casually. Seeing that Shen Qing still looked indifferent, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, and felt more expectant about Shen Qing's future.

Ordinary cultivators would have been ecstatic if they received such favor. Shen Qing's reaction just proved her domineering spirit, strong character, and her expressionless emotions. Only such people can accomplish great things.

The battlefield below was still being cleaned up and was gradually coming to an end.

After silently digesting the information given by Ji Yunxiao, Shen Qing put the Divine List in his arms and headed towards the Snake Village.

…………

…………

Not long after, Shen Qing returned to the Snake Village. After the war, it was already night.

Compared to the past, Snake Village seems much more lively. Many villages have merged, and Snake Village is in the most central location, so trade is very frequent.

The original small village of a few hundred people is now beginning to transform into a town with a population of nearly ten thousand.

Nowadays, there are wars everywhere, and some weak gods have been swallowed up. Some have even abandoned their believers before the war even started.

These abandoned believers had no choice but to start looking for new support. The appearance of Shen Qing undoubtedly gave them hope.

When there are too many people, disputes and quarrels are likely to arise. You can only pay a little attention on weekdays, but any situation must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will quickly turn into chaos.

The golden body that Shen Qing had just built not long ago has been moved to another place. A jade sculpture has been erected outside the temple. Although it is not the best spiritual jade, it is much more powerful than the original stone sculpture. Strands of spiritual power are constantly gathering towards Shen Qing.

Shen Qing was not satisfied with this. What she wanted was to become stronger as soon as possible. The current speed was far from enough.

Shen Qing quietly entered the temple in the night, took out the list of gods, and began to study the distribution of forces near the Snake Village.

Yunjing Prefecture is located in the northern part of the Southern Region. There are fifteen prefectures in the Southern Region, and a total of seventy-two prefectures in the five regions of the world. They are vaguely connected to each other, forming a huge formation.

In such a remote and desolate place, there would not be any large cities or concentrated population. At most, the population would be around 10,000 people, not much different from the current Snake Village.

Within the ten thousand li radius of Snake Village, there are only four villages and towns with a population of over ten thousand, and the gods enshrined in them are probably at the third level or even the fourth level.

When Shen Qing's cultivation reached the Gangsha level, these villages and towns were naturally nothing to worry about. What made her a little worried were cities like Haoyin City, with a population of over hundreds of thousands.

There are fifth-level gods in these cities. The Shenzang realm is a realm that Shen Qing has never encountered before. The gap between this realm and Gangsha is so big that it is exaggerated, almost the difference between man and god.

Just after seeing the distribution of forces around on the God List, Shen Qing suddenly had an idea and stepped out of the temple. The true energy sword in his hand condensed, and a flash of fire rose up. He threw it out suddenly, like a meteor across the starry sky, spanning a ten-mile area and piercing through a black shadow.

After a sharp cry, a black shadow fell to the ground. It was a monster shaped like a wild monkey, with golden divine patterns shining in its pupils. It seemed that a god was observing the surrounding situation through the eyes of this monkey monster.

A town with a population of ten thousand is enough to attract some powerful gods and monsters. Shen Qing was prepared for this and was not surprised. After rushing to the monkey, he chopped off its head directly, and the divine pattern in its pupils gradually dimmed.

This commotion startled many sharp-eyed and sharp-eared practitioners. After seeing Shen Qing, they all knelt down and bowed down to pay homage.

These people do not have a high level of faith, and the ritual they perform now is just a habit they have developed over the years.

Among them, quite a few were abandoned by the gods they believed in not long ago, so they naturally remained wary of Shen Qing.

Shen Qing could sense what they were thinking and had no intention of blaming them. All she could do now was to improve her own strength as quickly as possible and take things one step at a time.

Reaching out and dragging the body of the demon monkey back to the temple, Shen Qing began a further careful investigation. She had no one to rely on and had to rely on herself for everything.

In the end, Shen Qing absorbed a trace of the power of incense and vows from the demon monkey's body. With this breath, the next time they meet, she will be able to identify which god sent this spy.

Now all powerful gods are keeping their troops in place, testing each other's strengths. At this critical juncture, once the war begins, it will be a fight to the death, so naturally we have to think carefully.

…………

…………

Two days later, Shen Qing suddenly received a letter from Ji Yunxiao, inviting her to Haoyin City for a chat.

Shen Qing did not refuse and got up to keep the appointment.

When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Hong Shushan, who had not been seen last time, was there. Beside him was a young man in a green robe. He had handsome features and a straight back, like a pine or cypress standing proudly against the wind and snow. He was imposing, and his long black hair was like a waterfall. It was delicate and textured, and the inky black hair shimmered with a faint luster in the sun.

This person gave Shen Qing an extremely chilling sense of danger, and his edge was exposed, like a sharp blade.

This is a master whose swordsmanship has reached perfection. He has gone much further than her in the way of swordsmanship and is definitely not an ordinary person.

"This is the Immortal Xunfeng of the Zidian Tianzong. I invited him here to take charge of my Haoyin City."

real person.

Hearing this title, Shen Qing's heart moved. This was a title that only those in the Shenzang realm could have. There was no doubt that the young man in front of him was a great cultivator in the Shenzang realm.

And like Shen Qing, he is also a powerful swordsman.

The Zidian Tianzong's unique martial art is an astonishing sword technique called Nine Thunder Slashes, and the sect is full of swordsmen.

Zhenren Xunfeng's real name is Lu Xunfeng. Because of his outstanding talent, he became a disciple of Zidian Tianzong when he was young. He completed the transformation at the age of ten, condensed the Tao seed at the age of twelve, and condensed the Yuan at the age of twenty. When he entered Gangsha, he was only thirty years old.

Although he is only over a hundred years old this year, he is already a great master in the Shenzang realm. He has opened more than twenty Shenzang places in his body, which is considered middle-level among the strong people in the Shenzang realm.

After briefly introducing each other, Ji Yunxiao led the others into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

A huge topographic map was placed in the center of the main hall, which detailed the intertwined situation of various forces in the entire Yunjing Prefecture. It was extremely clear at a glance.

Among them, Ji Yunxiao only marked out the forces that had reached the Gangsha realm. Some beings whose cultivation had not yet entered the Gangsha realm, including the Snake Village where Shen Qing was currently, were not qualified to be marked.

"Gods, ghosts, demons and monsters are all birds of a feather."

Looking at the feng shui map in front of him, Lu Xunfeng, who was standing next to Hong Shushan, suddenly sneered, his pupils seemed to reflect three feet of ice:

"It's only because Xinggong failed to kill it completely in ancient times that it has brought disaster to future generations."

If he had the ability, he would choose to overthrow the Central Dynasty without hesitation and choose that altar.

There are too many human beings who are controlled by incense and gods.

As for Lu Xunfeng's words, the people in the hall just ignored them and pretended they didn't hear them. There were some things that Lu Xunfeng could say that they could agree with in their hearts but could not speak them out loud.

"Master Xunfeng, what is your opinion on the current situation in Yunjing Prefecture?"

Ji Yunxiao drew everyone's attention back to the geomancy map.

"There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. I can't stay here permanently. I'll take care of the few people around here first, and then Haoyin City can rest assured."

Lu Xunfeng glanced at the geomancy map and made a decision in the blink of an eye. He stepped forward and circled several forces with a pen. Two of them were the forces that Shen Qing had noticed before.

On the geomancy map, there are five circles, which circle out the five forces within a radius of 30,000 miles of Haoyin City. Three of them are ruled by people in the Shenzang realm.

There is nothing much to say about two of them, one is a big monster, and the other is a fierce god.

The last one is a city called "Qingxue", where a righteous god affiliated with the Central Dynasty sits, a being who has entered the fifth level and is not far from the realm of a god general.

This city originally belonged to the God of Rain. The deity who is now in charge is a latecomer and has usurped power.

Several people in the hall simultaneously set their sights on that city. This was the orthodox Central Dynasty. If they wanted to take action, they would probably be without a legitimate reason.

Although these gods are constantly fighting each other nowadays, they only dare to order their followers to fight and do not dare to take part in the battle themselves, so as not to embarrass the central dynasty.

"Master Xunfeng, this Qingxue City...would you like to consider it again?"
