Chapter 148 The Legend of the Mountain God, A World-Renowned Monument

Under the sunlight, the vast dust waves between heaven and earth lingered for a long time. The leaders of the Nine Dynasties Sect gathered together, landing on the massive tree roots, gazing at the surrounding scene in silence.

The same was true for Lü Baitian; even though the higher-ups of the Ephemeral Flower Sect had been dead for some time, the shock in his heart had not yet dissipated.

They fought for so long but could not break through the defenses of the Ephemeral Flower Sect. As a result, in just a few breaths, the sect leader and the Xuanxin Realm cultivators of the Ephemeral Flower Sect were all killed.

What happened?
These powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Dynasties' cultivation world all felt a complex and uneasy emotion at this moment.

Surviving the ordeal filled them with joy, but after calming down, they were filled with fear.

If the mysterious power that could easily destroy the Ephemeral Flower Sect can also easily destroy them, then so too can it?
Liang Canghai, the sect leader of the Cangtian Sect, looked at Tian Shu Daoist of Sanqing Mountain and asked, "Fellow Daoist Tian Shu, may I ask if you know what kind of power this is?"

Everyone looked at Daoist Tian Shu, their eyes filled with hope.

As the oldest sect among the nine dynasties, Sanqingshan's understanding of heaven and earth far surpasses that of the others.

Tian Shu Daoist's expression was complicated. He took a deep breath and said, "This humble Daoist does not know what being made the move. Perhaps it is Heaven and Earth punishing the Tan Hua Sect."

world?

The expressions of the various sect leaders shifted between light and dark.

The sect leader of the Jue Shan Sect of the Taicang Dynasty, Zhong Wujin, looked into the distance and sighed, "If heaven and earth have spirits, why do so many people die before they finally take action?"

Following his gaze, one could see disciples from various sects escorting prisoners who had become sacrifices. Their figures were as numerous as stars, yet they appeared so small in the sea of ​​trees.

No one could answer the endless question; this battle shattered their pride.

Having witnessed such terrifying power, they realized that the Integration Realm was nothing special, and the Profound Heart Realm was just a slightly stronger ant.

The Xuanxin Realm cultivators of the Ephemeral Flower Sect died without any resistance, and they could not forget the despair on their faces before they died.

"It was the mountain god! It was the mountain god who did it!"

A voice rang out, startling everyone who turned to look. They saw the Mysterious Immortal flying over at top speed.

Lu Baitian remembered this person; he was the second-ranked genius on the Golden List, the only genius who could force An Hao to go all out.

The Mysterious Immortal flew over quickly and landed in front of the Heavenly Pivot Daoist, raising his hand in greeting.

An old Taoist priest from Sanqing Mountain hurriedly asked, "Mysterious, what mountain god? What do you know?"

Master Xuanmiao took a deep breath, looked at the sect leaders, and said, "It was the Mountain God who destroyed the Tanhua Sect. The Mountain God is hidden deep in the mountains and is difficult to find. I was fortunate enough to see him. The Mountain God gave me a wooden figure and told me to use it to save the world. All of this was caused by that wooden figure."

When he spoke of this, his face was filled with awe.

The sect leaders pressed for answers, their questions clamoring and creating a noisy atmosphere in the area.

As if he had just thought of something, Liang Canghai, the sect leader of the Cangtian Sect, immediately waved to the distance. Soon, a cultivator flew over quickly, holding a wooden figure in his hand.

Liang Canghai made a gesture from a distance, grasped the wooden figure, and then asked Xuanmiao Zhenren, "Young friend, is this the wooden figure?"

The Mysterious Immortal immediately nodded and said, "This is the wooden statue of the Mountain God. You must not offend it."

All the people landed on the wooden figure in Liang Canghai's hand, making him feel that it was a little hot.

Some people still questioned Xuanmiao Zhenren's words, so Tian Shu Daoren suddenly cast a spell to freeze Xuanmiao Zhenren, and with a flick of his whisk to his forehead, drew out an illusion.

Everyone saw the Mysterious Immortal kneeling in the woods, while a small figure in white was perched on a branch in front of him.

Upon seeing the little figure in white, Liang Canghai was so frightened that he released the wooden figure from his grasp.

It's exactly the same!
The fact that the mountain god was so small made everyone present believe that he was indeed the mountain god.

"The land of the Nine Dynasties is about to face annihilation. When all the people of the Nine Dynasties are dead and demons invade, there will be no one left to worship you!"

"Who said only humans can worship me? And who told you that I only protect humans?"

"If you want me to help, that's not impossible, but..."

"But what? What do you want?"

"I want you to be my servant for eternity, to build my Taoist temple, to guard my Taoist temple, and to never be free!"

Hearing the mountain god's words, a chill ran down everyone's spine.

The previous conversation left them puzzled about the mountain god's thoughts, but these later words made them realize how terrifying and unpredictable the mountain god was.

Making a deal with gods and immortals comes at a heavy price.

As everyone waited anxiously, the mysterious figure in the illusion looked up and uttered words that shocked everyone.

"Very well, I am willing to be a slave to the mountain god, only asking that the mountain god save all living beings!"

"Take it with you to save the world."

The mountain god tossed a wooden figure to the Mysterious Immortal, who then rose, bowed, and left with the wooden figure.

The video abruptly cut off at this point.

Tian Shu Daoist's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

As Xuanmiao Zhenren resumed his movements, he frowned and looked at Tian Shu Dao Ren.

The other sect leaders looked at Master Xuanmiao with complicated expressions.

They admired the spirit of the Mysterious Immortal who dedicated himself to the common people from the bottom of their hearts; he truly deserved to be the sole disciple of the Taiqing lineage of Sanqing Mountain.

After learning of the existence of the mountain god, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the so-called power of heaven and earth, the mountain god reassured them more. Moreover, judging from the mountain god's words, he didn't seem to care much about worldly affairs.

"Mountain gods... cannot be deduced or speculated upon..."

With the support of his fellow disciples, Daoist Tian Shu uttered these words.

Liang Canghai took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, we must not offend the Mountain God, lest we bring great disaster upon the Nine Dynasties. However, we must not forget the Mountain God's merits. Everyone should remember the Mountain God's image, and when we return, we should erect statues and temples for the Mountain God in our respective sects and sing praises of the Mountain God's virtues to the people of the world!"

Upon hearing this, all the sect leaders nodded in agreement.

The Mysterious Immortal came before Liang Canghai and grabbed the wooden figure that was floating in the air.

He turned to look at the people of Sanqing Mountain, raised his hand in greeting, and said, "Dear senior uncles and senior masters, please tell my master when you return that from now on, I am no longer the Taiqing successor of Sanqing Mountain, and I will never go back. I hope the sect will forgive my willfulness."

Tian Shu Daoist and the other Daoists from Sanqing Mountain all sighed, but no one stopped them.

“A person cannot stand without faith. Serving the mountain god is not necessarily a punishment. Mysteriously, no matter what happens to Sanqing Mountain in the future, you must not disobey the will of the mountain god, understand?” Tian Shu Dao Ren said earnestly.

Master Xuanmiao nodded, then turned and left.

Some sect leaders hesitated, their eyes darting around, wondering whether to send someone to follow Xuanmiao Zhenren. But looking at the terrifying scene around them, they ultimately gave up.

At least for now, it's best not to provoke the mountain god!

distance.

Lu Lingjun stood on a giant tree, and the White Spirit Demon Emperor shrank and perched on her shoulder.

"Mountain God... As expected of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, there are indeed immortals and gods here!" the White Spirit Demon Emperor said excitedly.

They could see the discussions of the various sect leaders from afar, and even the illusions drawn up by the Celestial Pivot Daoist.

Not only them, but also the Xuanxin Realm cultivators from various sects were watching and witnessed what had just happened.

The existence of the mountain god challenged the understanding of cultivators in the Profound Heart Realm.

Lu Lingjun then recalled the white-clad figure in her illusion.

……

Xuan Valley, inside the pavilion.

Gu An was in a good mood, as this move had earned him 1.27 million years of lifespan.

Among them, the Jing Tu Xian at the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm gave him 649 years of lifespan, and the Epiphyllum mother tree at the eighth level gave him 7,500 years of lifespan.

Other cultivators from the Ephemeral Flower Sect could only grant him several decades of lifespan, while those cultivators at the Profound Heart Realm mostly granted him less than forty years.

This time, he killed nearly 30,000 cultivators of the Ephemeral Flower Sect. Although they were not all of the sect, they were definitely its elite. After this battle, the Ephemeral Flower Sect will surely disband.

He killed seventy-two Xuanxin Realm cultivators!
Seeing that his total lifespan had exceeded 3.3 million years, Gu An felt even better. He immediately took out the "Qingxia Travelogue" and prepared to cultivate his mind.

After the demise of the Ephemeral Flower Sect, there should be several decades of peace.

It remains to be seen whether he can extend his lifespan to over ten million years before the great calamity of demons arrives.

Wan Jilin's battle report had not yet reached Tai Xuan Sect, and the sect remained in a tense atmosphere.

As night fell, Gu An began his operation, heading out to pick epiphyllum flowers.

As before, these epiphyllum flowers could only provide a year of life, but he didn't mind at all.

Three days later.

The Tai Xuan Sect was shaken!
The news of the destruction of the Ephemeral Flower Sect spread throughout the cultivation world.

At noon, Ye Lan came to visit Gu An and told him about the great battle in Wanji Forest. As a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, she had more comprehensive information. She also mentioned the Mountain God.

"The power of the Mountain God is earth-shattering, truly incomparable to mortals. The Ephemeral Flower Sect was strong enough, but the Mountain God wiped it out in an instant. Tsk tsk, the Mountain God is so powerful. In mythology, aren't mountain gods only supposed to protect one region? Our Mountain God is too exaggerated. I would believe it if you said he was a celestial being." Ye Lan was very excited, unlike her usual composed self.

The existence of the Mountain God is definitely exciting news for cultivators.

There really are gods and immortals in this world!

Gu An feigned excitement and pressed Ye Lan for more information, satisfying her desire to confide.

Gu An was prepared for the legend of the mountain god to be spread by the Mysterious Immortal. The Mysterious Immortal simply wouldn't reveal his whereabouts, but he would tell everyone he met about the mountain god.

Gu An had noticed when Daoist Tian Shu extracted Xuanmiao Zhenren's memories.

This is the power of the immortal path!
He used his divine sense to strike Tian Shu Dao Ren from a distance, giving him a small punishment and also warning those sect leaders.

The Celestial Pivot Daoist was unaware that it was an impact on his divine consciousness; he thought he was suffering a backlash and became even more reverent towards the Mountain God.

They chatted for two full hours before Ye Lan finally left.

Her fighting spirit was ignited. If there were already mountain gods in this world, what else was impossible?

Gu An underestimated the influence of the mountain god.

For the next period of time, every time Gu An went to the outer city, he could hear people talking about the mountain god. The outer city had built a Taoist temple for the mountain god, where people could burn incense and kneel in worship, which was very lively.

At the same time, all nine dynasties' sects were eliminating the fleeting beauty of the world.

In less than a month, ninety percent of the epiphyllum flowers that once covered the world had disappeared, and the remaining ones were sparsely distributed, so Gu An was too lazy to run around anymore.

Even so, his gains were enormous!
