Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"Another one..."

Thinking of another magical power, Keqing didn't understand why she got this power.

"I don't know how to describe this magical power. Anyway, it's hard to describe... If I have to say it, it's an authority. Is it the master of mountains and rivers?"

【Lord of mountains and rivers? 】

what is that?

"Well... to be specific, it's probably like this."

Keqing made hand gestures and chanted an incantation, with a cold look on her face, and strange waves spread in all directions like water waves.

Then, countless fluorescent lights came from nowhere and gathered into an illusory shadow, which could be roughly seen as the shadow of an animal.

"Greetings to the Lord of Mountains and Rivers..."

As the shadow slowly bowed its head, the surrounding exotic flowers and plants grew wildly, filling the air with green.

A beautiful flower was growing hard, producing tiny stamens, and appeared in front of Keqing.

"Thank you."

Keqing picked the flower.

But I was thinking, flowers seem to be the reproductive organs of plants, right?

However, for plants, reproductive organs are only cared about by living creatures, and they don't care.

"Are you the remaining soul here?"

"Yes, I am the remnant souls of Tianxuan Mountain from thousands of years ago. I became the mountain god because of your power."

Keqing nodded. It turned out that this place used to be a mountain.

He ordered the mountain god to retreat, and the other party disappeared calmly.

"Well, this is my ability. Not only can I appoint mountain gods, but I can also control the mountains at will."

Keqing stretched out her hand, and the ground suddenly shook.

I saw a mountain soul rising from the ground and appearing high in the sky.

As long as Keqing is willing, not only can the soul of the mountain be absorbed, but even the mountain itself can be absorbed.

Then you can use it to hit people at will. Well, that should be easy.

[Isn't this Shinto?! The one that was said to have dominated an era but quickly fell into oblivion!?]

Earlier there was also a Shinto, a Taoist tradition created with reference to the gods. It was extremely popular during an era, and even the immortal monks could not hide from it and could only fall behind the scenes.

However, this kind of Taoism also has a serious drawback, that is, it requires the power of faith, and therefore it gradually declined.

"It's not really Shinto, it should be said that it's part of Shinto's authority."

Keqing wrinkled her nose for a rare moment and sighed with some uneasiness.

"I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect to use up most of the wishes in the jade seal!"

"It seems that it is because of Li Xi that the magical power I obtained is like this."

Belief!?

She has no faith, but she has a mortal country. The national destiny and national aspirations condensed by so many mortals are themselves something similar to faith, and they are even purer after being condensed by the Li Xi.

That's why I can comprehend more of the magical powers of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers! ?

Keqing guessed in her heart.

Only after getting to know this magical power in detail did Keqing realize the horror and flaws of this authority.

The horror is obvious. Mountains and rivers can be controlled. The natural treasures in the mountains and rivers, the changing of the four seasons, and the blessed places are all clear at a glance.

Moreover, by appointing a mountain god, you can get a free laborer, who is very powerful at that.

The appointment of the mountain god can not only gather the remaining souls of the local area, but also allow the dead heroic souls to come back to life.

What this means is self-evident!

And all it takes is enough wish, there is not even any restriction on the level of cultivation.

No wonder Shintoism once flourished

Of course, the amount of will consumed in this way is huge. You see, just condensing the mountain soul of Tianxuan Mountain has consumed most of her will.

And how big is Tianxuan Mountain? It is only about a hundred miles in area.

As for cultivators, why bother to condense a mountain god? With some effort, the area within a hundred miles can be explored clearly. It would be easy for a powerful celestial monarch to move mountains.

Therefore, the most important thing about this supernatural power is actually the authority itself.

Chapter 386: Alliance is formed! (Second update)

Authority represents the right of belonging, and represents nominal as well as substantive control.

For example, a monk can use spells to make it rain and change the weather.

But can you control the wind and rain and the seasons just like its owner? Do you know which place needs more rain and which place needs less rain?

It is true that the Heavenly Emperor can move mountains and seas, but he can only move them roughly using magic, while the power is to mobilize mountains as if they were his arms and fingers, without damaging them in the slightest.

Of course, all of the above can be replaced, but the key lies in the so-called authority and the so-called ownership, which are connected with the Li Xi.

It is certified by the way of heaven, so as long as the power of will is sufficient.

Follow your words.

Make your own rules.

It’s not… impossible.

……

……

"Ah, I'm finally back! Where are you?"

As the big meat ball fell to the ground, the ground shook and Keqing came out of the cave.

"Chirp——"

"Oh, I forgot about that you idiot."

After knocking the kid away without any mercy, the big meat ball looked at the cave behind Keqing in surprise.

"When did the cave appear here? Did this brat dig it?"

She was surprised, but just muttered a little and didn't care.

"I told them your idea. They will be here soon. Please wait."

The big meatball spoke directly, but Keqing didn't care. She just nodded to show that she understood.

But soon, countless figures flew down from the sky, some landed gracefully, and some jumped down directly and boldly.

Raised a cloud of dust.

"Hey! Can you stop being so rude, old man? You're choking me."

"Oh, what trouble!"

"What did you say, who's the trouble!?"

Seeing that a fight was inevitable, a beast quickly came out to mediate, thus avoiding the fight.

Of course, what’s more concerning is that there’s just a human being standing there in plain sight, and he can’t be laughed at.

"Hey, human, is it true what Lin said that you want to form an alliance with us?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of humans forming an alliance with us."

Then there was a burst of mixed noise.

Lin is the name of the big meat ball, and beasts like them are generally called Lin beasts.

"Of course it's true."

Keqing responded decisively.

"I've never heard of it, but it happened in the past. It doesn't mean it can't happen in the future, right?"

After hearing Keqing say this, some beasts were still skeptical.

"Humph, humans definitely don't have good intentions. What do you value about us?"

"They must be trying to trick us and extract our tendons and bones to use for refining weapons."

Keqing shook her head slightly.

"Although your blood, flesh, and hair are all good things, what I value is not these things, but your strength."

"As we share the same enemy, don't you think it would be more beneficial for us to form an alliance?"

"After the alliance, you can get our elixirs and magic weapons, and even learn our alchemy and weapon-making techniques."

"And we can also exchange with you the materials needed for refining equipment."

"Once we get used to it, maybe we can get along very well and both humans and beasts can make a contract..."

"Great! So this is what you were planning!"

Before Keqing could finish her words, a grumpy beast interrupted her.

Keqing frowned slightly, looked up, and raised her hand without any hesitation.

"Snapped--"

A phantom of a mountain floated in the air and suddenly hit him.

He was knocked down heavily and pressed to the ground.

"Don't interrupt, it's rude!"

Well, it’s still that rude female cultivator. It seems that she hasn’t changed.

But what on earth was this phantom mountain? It suddenly appeared above their heads without them sensing any spiritual power.

Involuntarily, everyone's attitude towards Keqing became much more serious.

"Of course, the contract is mainly for those below the Nascent Soul stage, and it is an equal contract, only used for mutual assistance and common progress. Even if I want to, I think the Nascent Soul masters who have cultivated are not willing to make a contract with others!"

"Hmph, that's true..."

"But what good will this do us?"

"Is it true what you said before about teaching us alchemy and weapon making?"

Keqing nodded.

"Of course it's true. Such a contract is a great advantage for humans. In order to reassure you, we will certainly not let you down. How about this..."

"For example, we can allow the cubs to enter the Golden Core stage quickly without being affected by their bloodline. What do you think?"

"really!"

Such a simple sentence made the animals excited.

You have to know that it doesn’t mean that the cubs born by high-level wild beasts can reach the same level.

At most, these cubs are a little smarter than ordinary cubs, and because they have the protection of their parents, they can practice more easily, but they do not have any more advantages than other ordinary wild beasts.

Only the Jindan stage can truly give birth to self-awareness that can be controlled. No wonder these beasts are so excited.

Keqing also understood that when it came to cubs, it mattered no matter what race they were.

Otherwise, this group of wild beasts would not hesitate to launch a wild beast tide.

"of course."

Keqing stretched out her hand, and a round pill with a faint fragrance appeared at her fingertips.

"I haven't introduced myself yet."

"My name is Keqing. I'm from Cangzhou. I'm also the city lord of Lidu, and I'm also a talisman master and alchemist."

"You may be curious about who teaches you. Unfortunately, it's me."
