Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"Dear traveler, you have not reached the summit. According to the scenic area management requirements, if you wish to reach the summit, please exit the mountain temple to the fork in the road and walk up about 800 steps. May the mountain god bless you."

"..."

An unexpected scene occurred.

At the moment they saw this man, everyone thought that everything was over.

But now, after hearing what the Shan Gui employees said, everyone relaxed again.

Maki: "I don't know what happened, but it seems that guy failed, right?"

Nero: "Haha, he deserves it. I knew a guy like him with such a sneaky look wouldn't be able to succeed!"

Ruozao: "Only great people like Sensei are qualified to become gods!!"

Akira: "I share the same opinion as you on this point, Destroyer."

Mika: "Now is the time, teacher! While that guy loses his qualifications, hurry up and become the mountain god!"

Shengya: “…”

Nagisa: "Ms. Mika, I understand your excitement, but I hope you can understand one thing."

Nagisa: "That means the teacher hasn't stayed in Mount Daluo for 72 hours yet."

Mika: “…Huh?!”

----

The girls were excited and cheered for their teacher to get another chance.

Under their enthusiastic gazes, Xiyu slowly walked past several employees wearing aqua clothes.

Although it seemed that they tried hard to do something to themselves, they seemed to be hindered by some rules and ultimately had to stay where they were.

After seeing this scene, Xiyu had a rough guess in his mind.

* Considering the opposing positions of the employees in gold and blue clothing, they should be worried about being stopped by the employees in gold clothing.

*After all, now is not the time to completely break off relations with the mountain god.

*As for why this guy failed...he should be just a small fry of the mastermind behind the scenes.

*Or, in other words, the real mastermind behind this is someone else.

Xiyu thought so and walked past him at steady steps.

He ignored the other person's surprised expression and walked straight into the mountain temple.

*The real culprit behind this was probably that the correct route was not told to him, which led him to mistake the new temple of the mountain god at 9200 steps as the end point.

There is no way to reach the top of the mountain on the mountain temple side without turning back.

In other words, he is out.

The temperature inside the mountain temple is lower than expected.

Although the incense burner was filled with candles, it didn't give people a sense of warmth.

The statue in the center of the hall gives people a dull feeling.

Just as Xiyu was about to light the incense and candles, a cold voice came from the side.

"Dear traveler, welcome to the Daluo Mountain Temple. You can worship the mountain god here. May the mountain god bless you."

"..."

Listening to the sound coming from behind, Xiyu did not pause at all.

Just then, a Shan Gui employee in a golden uniform came to Xiyu.

"Dear passenger, you are not qualified."

"I know."

Xiyu ignored his gaze and directly lit the incense in her hand.

As the flames rose, the surrounding temperature seemed to begin to warm up.

Xiyu inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner in front of him, then took out the Daluo Mountain specialties that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the altar in front of the mountain god statue.

“I’m not here to get a qualification.”

"I came here only to worship the mountain god."

"..."

As employees of the mountain temple, although these mountain ghosts do not want Xiyu to follow the correct procedures to offer sacrifices, they are unable to stop it due to the rules.

I could only watch Xiyu go through the whole process.

“People have forgotten true worship for too long.”

As Xiyu spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the mountain god statue in front of him.

“I just picked it all up again.”

After Xiyu finished doing all this, he looked at the statue again.

Different from the dullness at the beginning, the statue now begins to give people a vague sense of sacredness.

There is obviously no change in appearance, but there is such a big difference before and after.

Obviously, Xiyu has successfully achieved the purpose of his trip.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of things being broken behind me.

Xiyu turned around and found that it was the man from the beginning.

He was now looking crazy, constantly throwing things around him.

"No... Impossible!"

"You're fucking kidding me! You're fucking kidding me!!!"

"I clearly stayed there for 72 hours, never looked back, and never counted my steps!"

"And you told me you wanted to reach the top. I'll reach your ****ing top! I'll reach your mother!"

"Now how do we get into the mountain temple after reaching the top? You guys are fucking kidding me!"

As the man continued to smash the items in the mountain temple, the mountain ghost in the golden uniform also showed a dissatisfied expression.

"Final notice, stop this behavior!"

"I'll stop your mother! I'll ******——"

Suddenly, he stopped halfway through his curse.

Xiyu, who witnessed the whole process, came to the outside of the mountain temple with an expressionless face.

Now, he has accomplished one of the purposes of his trip.

Now that the offering to the mountain god has been completed, the only thing left to do is to stop the real mastermind behind the incident...

Xiyu thought so and walked to the open space outside the mountain temple.

Not far ahead, a distorted human figure gradually began to emerge.

Seeing this scene, Xiyu didn't say much, but just hooked her fingers gently.

Invisibly, a gentle wind began to blow——

Chapter 217: Dimensional Suppression, Desperate Gap

The wind is as soft as a piece of silk, gently brushing across my cheek.

However, what she brought was not comfort and peace, but the sound of the tide that symbolized death and destruction!

boom! ! !

As Xiyu hooked his fingers, the invisible threads in the air quickly cut through the surrounding ground.

In an instant, the newcomer was trapped where he was.

Feeling the murderous aura coming from all directions, the real mastermind who led the changes in Daluo Mountain and controlled the mountain ghosts, now seemed to be completely unprepared and allowed these silk threads, which were sharper than a knife blade, to approach him!

However, the moment the thread touched him, it quickly broke and melted away, as if corroded by some substance...

*It is the power of the mountain ghost...

Xiyu, who also had become a mountain ghost to a certain extent, naturally recognized the source of this power.

However, compared to himself, the opponent's strength is obviously stronger.

After wandering in Daluo Mountain for a full 72 hours, his degree of transformation was far beyond what I could achieve as I had only stayed there for less than half a day.

No wonder the other party was able to come here even though the official personnel were trying to stop them.

This gap is almost rising to the level of a dimensional gap...

Xiyu could feel it.

His body's crisis instinct, cultivated from past training, had long been sending him constant warnings.

If we continue to fight with the other party——

will die.

"—"

The moment his brain came to this conclusion, he had already rushed towards the enemy.

Death is meaningless.

The only thing he cares about now is how to stop the other party!

For his own selfish desires, he involved so many innocent people.

One can imagine what would happen if such a person became a god.

And all this is definitely not what those who let themselves survive want to see.

So, Xiyu wants to stop the other party!

This is also what he believes is the meaning of his life continuing to this day——

Looking at the young man rushing towards them and the murderous aura coming from all directions, the mist on the face of the mastermind surged.

Although his face no longer looked human due to the interweaving of shadows and mist, Xiyu could still feel that he was laughing disdainfully.

An ant trying to shake a tree is no match for it.

"..."

Without paying any attention to the other party's mockery, the intertwined silk threads turned into a long sword and chopped down at the figure's head.

The result was still the same as at the beginning. Even if Xiyu concentrated all his strength, he could not have any effect on the human figure.

This waste of energy seemed meaningless, but then, the liquid gushing out from the broken silk thread covered the figure's entire head.

It’s the water from Longyin Pond!

After weaving the silk threads into swords, Xiyu hid the water from Longyin Pond inside them.

The seemingly wasteful attack was actually just to cover up the pool of water that was splashed out afterwards!

Caught off guard, the figure who was doused in the pool of water began to make sizzling sounds.

It's like pouring water into a hot iron pot.

The water of Longyin Pond, which contains the power of the mountain god, can have a certain restraining effect on mountain ghosts.

Especially for this person in front of him who has stayed in Daluo Mountain for 72 hours and whose body has almost completely turned into a mountain ghost.

However, Xiyu did not stop his attack.

The dagger covered with herbs made a whistling sound and pierced through the body of the figure at lightning speed!

But what was strange was that no blood was seen splattering from the wound.
