Chapter 1057 Wailing All Over the Place

In fact, the supernatural powers of the "Qi cultivators of Tianzhu Peak" are not weak.

Based on the results deduced by Da Mieba, many of Chen Sheng's "little brothers" have mastered the secret techniques and magical treasures from the ancient Investiture of the Gods period.

For example, Xiaoyu is somewhat familiar with "The Seven Arrows of Nailhead: Taigong's Revised Edition".

It seems that someone has even mastered the "Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife".

However, most of those who came at this time were Yin spirits or primordial spirits, and they did not bring any magical treasures with them.

When “Zifu” deduced the method for launching a sudden attack, it did not take into account the magic treasures “forgotten at home”.

If they are all at their peak, this team of Qi cultivators from Tianzhu Peak can cooperate with each other, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and unleash terrifying combat power.

Previously, Xiaoyu had never dared to get too close to Tianzhu Peak, let alone force his way through the mountain, because he sensed danger.

The problem is that the strength of these Qi cultivators mainly comes from their magical treasures and supernatural abilities, while their own cultivation is not very advanced.

Dao Xing refers to the quality and quantity of the immortal energy within the body, as well as the wisdom and experience on the Great Dao.

Even Gu Zhenjun, who holds the highest status and is a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), seems to have a higher realm than Xiaoyu, but his cultivation is truly inferior to Xiaoyu's after cultivating "Huifeng Mixed Mountain and Water Refining Spirit".

She is not as ethereal as Xiaoyu, nor as wise in the Dao.

Xiao Yu, who possesses the "Great Destroyer Father," has a particular fondness for enemies who are powerful yet less skilled than her. Against such enemies, her Purple Mansion rarely experiences any lag.

Once you find the weakness or vulnerability, you can kill the enemy.

For the "Purple Mansion," finding the vital point and the weakness is far less difficult than forcibly breaking through an unattainable level of cultivation.

Taoist cultivation level cannot represent the entirety of combat power, but the combat power brought by Taoist cultivation level is even more difficult to counter.

At the command of the Old Mother of Qiushan, Tu Chenghuang immediately took out the City God Seal and closed the City God's Office.

He also arranged for Captains such as "Song Hu" to guard the gate.

After arranging things outside, he quickly summoned four ghost messengers who were skilled at beating prisoners.

"Mother, the City God's Office is now closed, and the ghost messengers you requested have arrived," Tu Chenghuang said cautiously.

Xiao Yu pointed at the Bee Taoist and said, "This scoundrel poisoned your colleagues. Give him a hundred lashes to calm everyone down."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Bee Taoist's body in the pit flipped over: from its head emerging from the ground, it became its buttocks sticking up high, with its upper body buried deep in the ground.

The ghost messenger, who had been looking uneasy, immediately stopped trembling and regained strength in his arms upon hearing this.

They rolled up their sleeves, stepped forward, and brandished their crimson fire-and-water sticks, lashing out at the Bee Taoist's buttocks.

"Pa bang bang~~"

After only two blows, Bee Taoist awoke from the excruciating pain.

But his head was buried in the ground and his mouth was blocked by soil, so he couldn't howl.

Those on the surface could only hear low, muffled groans coming from underground.

The sound of the cane being struck was loud, and it soon woke up Chen Sheng, who was the least skilled in Taoism.

"Old Mother Qiushan, you, you actually... who exactly are you?"

Well, Chen Sheng is relatively inexperienced, so he received very little "care".

Xiaoyu could easily take him down, so naturally she wouldn't waste her energy to torment him.

On the contrary, Gu Zhenjun, who had the highest level of cultivation, suffered the greatest blow. At this moment, his hair was disheveled, his face was bruised and swollen, and he was unconscious.

When Chen Sheng woke up, he blinked, turned his head and looked around. He saw that none of the forty-five immortal masters had escaped. They were all buried in the ground with their heads sticking out of the ground, and they had all become lambs to the slaughter.

The Bee Taoist was being vigorously beaten with a board by four ghost messengers.

This terrifying scene, which even nightmares wouldn't imagine, left King Chen Sheng in a daze, his tongue tied in knots.

Old Mother Qiushan glanced at him but ignored him.

He mustered his courage again and said tremblingly, "Please forgive us, Mother. We had no intention of offending you. If we have offended you, please forgive us."

The Earth God Fish of the Egret Pavilion in the West Pond is still on Tianzhu Peak. You may do as you see fit!

Old Mother Qiushan said calmly, "You shut up first. After this Bee Taoist finishes his beating, it will be your turn."

Chen Sheng was both surprised and frightened, and wanted to say more.

But looking at the old woman now, one could only feel that beneath her kind face lay endless terror; her peaceful eyes seemed to radiate a supreme, sacred, and inviolable majesty.

Upon seeing her face and meeting her eyes, all his great ambitions and courage seemed to melt away like ice shards placed in boiling water.

Why would such a terrifying old monster come to Dazexiang?

Dozens of immortal masters joined forces, yet they couldn't withstand even a single move from her.

With just one move, just one move! We were completely wiped out.
Could it be that the Old Mother of Qiushan is an imposter of "Queen Mother of the West", "Doumu Yuanjun", or "Old Mother of Lishan"?

But in Dazexiang, I am the master, I hold the mandate of heaven, I am the king.

If she were a great deity of the Three Realms, how could she defy the will of Heaven and oppose me?
As Chen Sheng drifted into his reverie, more and more Qi cultivators were awakened by the loud thuds of the wooden boards.

Upon waking, the first thing they did was struggle.

Instinctively struggling, wanting to break free from the state of being bound by the earth.

No matter how much they tried to arouse their magical power and stimulate the spiritual power of their primordial spirit (yin spirit), the earth remained as solid as a steel plate. No, it was not only as hard as a steel plate, but also as heavy.

It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them; they could hardly move or even catch their breath, let alone struggle.

Their feeling wasn't wrong; there really was a mountain pressing down on them.

In the Taoist arts of Xuanmen, there is a supernatural power called "Moving Mountains".

During the Journey to the West, the Silver Horned King moved three sacred mountains—Mount Sumeru, Mount Emei, and Mount Tai—to suppress Wukong until he was spitting blood from his seven orifices.

The Mountain Moving Divine Power does not actually move a physical mountain.

At that time, the Silver Horn King was countless miles away from Mount Sumeru and Mount Emei.

How could a single incantation instantly teleport a towering peak here?
Mountains, besides their material form of stone, also possess a spirit and a power.

Silver Horn King's Mountain-Moving Divine Power actually uses Taoist magic to borrow the "momentum" of mountains, and then combines it with his own magical power to condense it into the shape of a mountain, forming a suppressive force like a mountain pressing down.

During his demon-slaying journey in Western Shu, Xiao Yu encountered a "Demon King of Lushan".

Mount Lu was originally a primordial mountain god, the innate spirit of Mount Lu, but instead of becoming a guardian deity of humanity, it degenerated into a demon. The demonic supernatural power within its demon core is the ability to move mountains.

In other words, Xiaoyu had already mastered the "Mountain Moving" supernatural power.

But the ultimate purpose of the Mountain-Moving Divine Power is not incantations and Taoist magic, but authority.

The Demon King of Lushan is Lushan itself, so he can certainly borrow Lushan's "mountain shape" and "mountain terrain".

The Silver Horn King was even more extraordinary.

His master is Laozi, the Supreme Lord. If he wanted to adjust the power of Mount Sumeru, the mountain god of Mount Sumeru would offer it up with both hands. If he wanted to adjust the power of Mount Tai and borrow its charm, Huang Feihu would have to accept it with a stiff nose. If he wanted to borrow the "power" of Mount Emei, the mountain god of Mount Emei would not dare to stop him.

Xiaoyu had previously mastered the "Mountain Moving" supernatural power, but there were no mountains left to move. She could move Xiaoqiang's Black Mountain, but it was of little use.

Today, the situation has changed drastically. Grand Tutor Yu possesses the true map of all the famous mountains in the land, and can borrow whichever one he wants, move whichever mountain he wants, and move whichever river he wants, using that river as a belt to wrap around his slender waist.

To be honest, her calling herself "Mother of the Earth" might seem pretentious, but it's not entirely bragging.

Unless you don't give her a chance.

If she were given the same opportunity to calmly unleash her Mountain-Moving Divine Power as the Silver Horned King did against Wukong, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Yes, moving mountains is a process with great power. However, if used on the battlefield, the process is too slow and the fluctuations in magical power are obvious, making it very easy for the enemy to detect it in advance and quickly dodge.

At this moment, Xiaoyu didn't even need the power of the Five Mountains to suppress this group of lowlifes.

Using the Five Sacred Mountains to suppress this group of Qi cultivators is a waste of their talents; it might even crush some of the less skilled ones into mincemeat.

She merely borrowed some "terrain" from the land of Fuli.

Well, she didn't move any mountains; she only moved some of the earth's power, and she was able to suppress the forty-five Qi cultivators.

Even though the Monkey King was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, his head was sticking out. Although he didn't seem to be buried very deep, he couldn't move at all.

They couldn't even stretch out their hands.

The Qi cultivators of Tianzhu Peak are now trapped underground, with only their heads sticking out. The pit doesn't seem deep, and it's easy for them to struggle out. But the soil pressing down on them is "Fuli Earth"!
The land of Fuli is not as good as the Five Elements Mountain, but these Qi cultivators are not much better than Wukong.

Even the most skilled "Senior Gu" was so frustrated that his face turned red, but he couldn't let the ground shake even a little.

Their magical powers were not sealed, and their primordial spirits could operate freely. However, no matter what they tried, they could not jump out of the seemingly shallow pit. The Qi cultivators were even more desperate.

The way he looked at Qiushan Laomu was as if he were looking at a peerless old demon, filled with both awe and fear.

After all, even someone as unruly and powerful as the Monkey King, after being imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, learned to be respectful.

"Mother, the hundred strokes of the cane are finished."

A moment later, the ghost messenger put away his water and fire sticks, and the City God respectfully stepped forward to report.

Old Mother Qiushan nodded slightly.

She lightly stomped her cane, and the Bee Taoist, whose buttocks had been bruised, turned around again, this time with his head above the ground instead of his buttocks.

His face was deathly pale, his expression twisted and contorted with pain, and his eyes filled with despair and fear.

"Mother, I surrender! Please have mercy and forgive my offense!" he cried out.

"Mother, please forgive me! I am a novice and ignorant, and I did not know your name. I was very offensive with my words just now. Please forgive me this time!"

"Senior Qiu Shan, you are merciful! Mother Goddess, you are wise! I have remained silent the whole time and have not laughed and mocked you like they have!"

"Yes, senior, please don't assume we did the same foolish thing just because we're together."

From the moment I heard your name, I have been filled with awe and dare not show the slightest disrespect.

After that, I really didn't dare to say anything arrogant or slanderous towards you!

"Mother, please forgive me. I spoke carelessly just now. Please punish me! I only beg you to forgive me after the punishment."

There were more than forty Qi cultivators, including extraordinary individuals and many true immortals.

There are also Xuanxian (an old celestial being who has lost his way) with relatively weak supernatural powers, such as "Senior Gu".

At this moment, they lost all their arrogance and all looked miserable, even begging for mercy with tearful voices.

Even without being hit with a board, the sheer power of the Fuli Earth would be unbearable to bear!
Every minute and every second felt like an eternity.

Xiaoyu remained indifferent, unmoved by their pleas.

“I reminded you before that my rule is ‘out of sight, out of mind’.”

If you are prepared to face me directly, I will naturally appear to see you.

Now that you've met, you should show some awareness and magnanimity.

"Old Mother Goddess, what does 'out of sight, out of mind' mean?" Song Liu asked.

"Out of sight, out of mind. But now that I've seen you, what do you say?" Xiaoyu said.

Song Liu stammered, "We have offended you, Mother, and annoyed you. We are willing to apologize to you!"

Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Because I can't see the stolen goods, I'm not bothered by them."

If you see injustice and filth and don't clean it up, you'll feel uneasy.

You vile creatures, worse than insects, have you forgotten that I used my Qi-gazing technique to examine you just now?

What do you think I'm looking at?
Look at the foul and evil spirits in your weather forecast!

"Mother, spare my life~~~" The self-aware heretical cultivator was almost in tears.

“Mother, I am indeed tainted with karma and sins, but I am now supporting the Dragon Court.”

The demise of the Qin Dynasty was ordained by Heaven. I will obey Heaven's will and earn merit sooner or later to wash away my evil deeds.

You can't get rid of me just because I'm temporarily 'unclean'!

I beg your mercy and give this junior a chance to repent and reform.

"Mother, King Chen Sheng is right here. He is protected by human destiny, so we still have a chance to start over."

Those from unorthodox sects and self-aware practitioners of esoteric arts pleaded in various ways.

There were also self-proclaimed righteous and noble Daoist cultivators who cried out, "Grandmother, please be wise! I am a disciple of the 'Sunset Palace' of the Zhengyi Sect on Mount Qiyun. I have an innocent background and am a true disciple of the Xuanmen!"

"Old Mother, although we are all one group, the origins of people are different. I am not talented, but I still have two thousand eight hundred Heavenly Merits!" Even True Lord Lian Gu called out, and he did so with the most confidence and his face was glowing.

Xiaoyu glanced at him, a hint of suspicion in her mind.

If all 2,800 Heavenly Merits were given away, how many people could be helped to ascend to immortality in broad daylight?
"Why do you think I told you, 'Out of sight, out of mind'? I didn't have any anger towards you at the time."

Based on your domineering, tyrannical, callous, bullying, and reckless behavior, I deduce that you are all scoundrels who must have done many immoral things.

If I don't see you, I won't bother with you.

Since it deliberately ran into me and ended up in my hands, it's up to me to do with it.

I can't feel at ease until it's cleaned up and filthy.

To put my mind at ease, you must honestly confess what bad things you've done! I will treat you leniently.

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in screams.
"We are innocent! We have never been arrogant, domineering, or disregarded human life."

“Mother, I admit that we did not perform well in the case of the Land Lady.”

But we didn't kill anyone!
The local deity, Yu Xichi, treats human life with contempt.

At most, we said a few insincere words on his behalf out of respect for General Chen Sheng.

"Mother, I'll say it again: I'm in Fulong Court! I can use the power of humanity to cleanse my sins and karma. King Chen Sheng is about to rise up, overthrow the tyrannical Qin, and establish the Great Chu. It's just around the corner."

With the establishment of the Great Chu, all our sins will be wiped away; this is the rule of Heaven that leaves a way out.
