In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 109 Frozen Thousands of Miles, Displaying Divine Power to Move Mountains

Faith power can directly improve the level of cultivation techniques and cultivation level, so she doesn't need to put in so much effort to cultivate on her own. As long as she has enough faith power, she can improve her cultivation level indefinitely.

Gu Yuexi decided to move all the hundreds of mountains surrounding Xiahe Town to open up a road, allowing the people of Xiahe Town to connect with the outside world. Moving all the mountains would also free up tens of thousands of acres of fertile land for the people to grow grain.

But this is not a simple matter.

She pondered, "Moving mountains will inevitably cause landslides and earthquakes, and all living things in the Yunmi Mountain area will surely face annihilation. If only there were a foolproof way to avoid the harm that landslides and earthquakes would bring to all living things."

The protective barrier can indeed protect the creatures on the mountain, but the host's points are insufficient to cover the hundreds of surrounding mountains.

Furthermore, the protective barrier can only guarantee the safety of all living things within it; if they are too timid, they will still be frightened to death by the commotion of moving mountains.

Furthermore, it cannot be determined whether the underlying crust of the mountain will change during the relocation process.

Gu Yuexi then realized how difficult things had been for Yu Gong back then.

If she were still a powerful being who had transcended tribulation, she could easily shift positions across these mere few hundred mountains.

Unfortunately, she is currently a weakling in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

But she is not someone who gives up easily. She did not get discouraged, but instead thought of a more appropriate solution.

Suddenly, an idea struck her.

If the mountains and all living things are frozen in ice, and then returned to their original positions after the mountains are moved, the inner and outer layers of the mountains will not crack, and all living things will not face annihilation!

She opened the ice-type cultivation technique she had previously exchanged, "Ice Refining Technique," a low-grade yellow-rank ice-type technique divided into three levels.

First level: Lingfeng Baixue
Second level: Frozen across ten thousand miles
Third level: Endless Glacier
She has only cultivated to the first level of Lingfeng Baixue, which allows her to use spiritual power to transform into snowflakes and descend to earth.

"If I reach the second level of the ice-bound land, I can freeze the inner and outer layers of hundreds of surrounding mountains, and the living beings in the surrounding area will also be frozen inside. After I successfully move the mountains, I can return them to their original positions, ensuring that there will be no landslides or earthquakes that could harm all living beings."

Upgrading the Ice Refining Technique from level one to level two does not require 500,000 faith points, just like advancing one's cultivation level.

A low-grade Yellow Rank cultivation technique requires exactly 100,000 Faith Points to advance one level.

In this way, her cultivation technique will be upgraded, giving her the ability to move mountains and ensure the safety of all living things!
This method works.

Using all her faith power, Gu Yuexi upgraded the Ice Refining Technique to the second level.

The spiritual energy surged in the air, and a layer of azure ice spread from her feet to every corner of the Divine Palace. Gu Yuexi reached out, gathered her spiritual energy, and with a snap, the ice shattered, and the Divine Palace returned to its original state.

The Ice Refining Technique has reached the second level.

With just a slight exertion of spiritual power, the ice layer could cover the entire Golden Saint Divine Palace. If she used all her spiritual power to cast a spell, these hundreds of mountains would be completely sealed by the ice layer within three days.

In Xiahe Town, the people heard that the town's magistrate had gone up the mountain and found a true immortal.

She was compassionate and merciful, relieving their suffering and providing them with food for the winter and seeds for the following year, asking for nothing in return, just like the deities in ancient tales who save all living beings.

Upon hearing this, the people were overjoyed.

"The Toad Immortal was indeed a monster. I didn't dare say much before, for fear of being eaten by the tiger beside him. Now that he's dead, I feel so relieved!"

“Deities are supposed to be compassionate and merciful, saving all living beings. But he forces us to make a deal with him every three days, cutting off our own flesh and blood to feed him. In this respect, he is not like a deity.”

"Thank goodness, we met the Golden Saint Goddess. I heard that she is the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. When she passed by our area, she saw that there was no life and the people were suffering terribly, so she stopped to help us. She not only took away the toad spirit that was oppressing us, but also gave us food for the winter and seeds for next year's planting."

"Gods and monsters are just different!"

The crowd started discussing it amongst themselves.

The town's garrison commander, Li Sheng, ordered his men to spread the news of the Golden Saintess's bestowal of grace to every household in the town.

They all rushed to the garrison headquarters.

They went there full of hope, and returned home with beaming faces; everyone returned with a bountiful harvest.

They became increasingly devoted to and revered the Golden Saint Goddess. They even vowed to set up a shrine to the Golden Saint Goddess in their homes and to offer incense and candles to her day and night when they had the necessary offerings.

They only pray to the goddess for protection, so that they will no longer suffer from hunger and disaster.

Gu Yuexi revealed her true form on the mountain.

Above the Golden Sacred Palace, a colossal figure dressed in a white palace gown adorned with gold patterns appeared.

She was tall and sacred, inspiring awe in those who beheld her.

She raised her hands high, and azure spiritual energy surged between them, sending a chill through the surrounding area.

"brush!"

A chilling layer of ice emanated from her body, spreading in all directions and instantly covering the surrounding scenery.

As soon as you look up, the deep blue ice layer instantly envelops and covers the mountains inch by inch, and the mountains seem to have suddenly stopped breathing, eerily quiet.

In Xiahe Town, people come and go at the gate of the town government, going in empty-handed and coming out carrying white cloth bags, their faces beaming with smiles.

"This is wonderful! The goddess has bestowed upon us fine white flour and rice, as well as some fresh meat. We must work hard and, once we have a good harvest, erect a statue and build a temple for the goddess. If we have the opportunity, we must go to the Golden Saint Mountain Range to personally pay homage to the goddess."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Li Xiuhe helped Grandma Li up.

"Grandma, see, I wasn't wrong. There really is a fairy goddess on the mountain. She even gave us food to get through the winter. Next spring, we can get seeds from the garrison and plant them. Then we won't have to worry about starving to death anymore."

Tears welled up in Li Xiuhe's eyes.

Not only did Lady Jin Sheng save her, but she was also a great benefactor to the entire Xiahe Town!
Grandma Li's lips moved a few times, her body trembling, and she nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty saves us from suffering. She has a kind heart. With her protection, the people of Xiahe Town will not starve to death."

She clasped her hands together and prayed continuously.

"Ouch! Why is it suddenly so cold?"

"Yes, I feel like it's suddenly winter. What happened?"

Li Sheng, who was guarding the town, ran out and felt the temperature drop sharply; his expression changed instantly.

He has more experience than others.

He wondered anxiously if a snowstorm was about to hit just as the drought was ending.
His heart was pounding.

Suddenly, the people saw a layer of icy blue ice rushing down the mountain at breakneck speed, as fast as a rabbit running. Everyone was horrified.

"monster!"

"No, no, no, it's ice! Ice has sealed the mountain."

"Oh my god, what's going on?"

"Golden Saintess, save me!"

"Help! We've finally started to enjoy some good times, is this the end of the good times?"

"Heavens! Goddess Jin Sheng, save me!"

Meanwhile, Gu Yuexi, whom they were talking about, was casting a spell to seal all the hundreds of mountains surrounding Yunmi Mountain and then move them.

She moved her fingers slightly, but it terrified the people below the mountain.

"Run!"

"Run!"

They scattered and fled, but before they could even reach their homes, they were frozen in place by the ice.

A look of terror lingered on his face, which was covered in ice.
