The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 190 Getting to Know Sanshou
Boom! Boom! Shi Mo, Wu Zhi Qi, and Xuan Ming were locked in fierce combat, causing the surrounding space to distort and become chaotic. A violent energy storm swept out like a tidal wave.
With a clang and a thud, Shi Mo, his hands swung and flipped, became like a rock in the waves. His hands, faintly glowing with metallic light, were like two huge shields, blocking the attacks of Wuzhiqi and Xuanming.

With each clang of metal striking metal, Wuzhiqi and Xuanming, having witnessed Shi Mo's formidable divine physique once again, couldn't help but change their expressions.

"How is this possible? How could his divine body be so strong? It's comparable to divine weapons and magical treasures," Wuzhiqi thought with shock, anger, and helplessness.

Xuanming was also secretly surprised and felt a sense of powerlessness.

Suddenly, with a flip of his hand, Shi Mo's palm, as if cleavers, pierced through the void and struck Xuan Ming. With a dull thud, Xuan Ming, whose body was violently shaken, was thrown away in a disheveled manner.

"Hmm? I didn't expect her bone armor to be so strong!" Feeling the recoil from her palm, Shi Mo staggered back a step, somewhat surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he dodged Wuzhiqi's terrifyingly powerful strike by sidestepping to the side.

Bang! But Wuzhiqi reacted quickly, sweeping his dark red giant staff towards Shi Mo, forcing Shi Mo to raise his hand to block and fly backward.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Honglong approached one of the Pangu battle formations set up by the Water Kingdom to besiege Jiufeng and the others. With a flick of his hand, Shi Mo's rapidly enlarging palm unleashed a violent and terrifying power, slamming down fiercely towards the Pangu battle formation.
Amidst terrified and desperate screams, as the entire Pangu Battle Formation trembled and collapsed, the terrifying power of Shi Mo's palm instantly turned a large number of gods and demons into ashes. Even some celestial gods were seriously injured or died from the annihilation of their divine power.

"Shi Mo!" Wu Zhiqi was furious with his eyes wide open at the sight, while Xuan Ming coldly unleashed a large number of bone spikes.

A sharp, hissing sound shot out, covering the Pangu Battle Formation led by Shi Mo and Jiu Feng.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing this, Shi Mo frowned and quickly flashed over. His expanded divine body blocked most of the attack, and he grabbed the rest with both hands.

The bone spurs that Shi Mo had grabbed with both hands were all suppressed by the violent divine power in his palms and then absorbed into the boundary-stabilizing bead in his body.

However, the remaining bone spikes still transformed into arcs and attacked the Pangu Battle Formation behind Shi Mo.
Boom! Wuzhiqi once again swung his dark red giant club and attacked, but this time he was targeting the Pangu Battle Formation led by Jiufeng.

"Wuzhiqi, you're bullying the weak! Don't you have any shame as a true god or great being?" Shi Mo was furious and quickly raised his hand to block the giant club.

"Shi Mo, you're the one who bullied the weak first," Xuan Ming sneered as he attacked.

"They've already come to our doorstep, do you expect me to show mercy?" Shi Mo laughed angrily.

Wuzhiqi roared with a sinister grin, "Shi Mo, prepare to die!"

Just as Wuzhiqi and Xuanming joined forces to close in on Shi Mo, forcing Shi Mo to use both hands to block and counterattack, another surging and powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky.
"Kunpeng?" Shi Mo looked up abruptly, his gaze turning cold as he watched the massive Kunpeng, so large it blotted out the sky, tear through space with its sharp claws as it grabbed at the Pangu Battle Formation led by the Nine Phoenixes: "You are truly courting death!"

With a thought, Shi Mo unleashed the invisible suppressive power of the Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl within his body. The surrounding space instantly froze, making Wuzhiqi, Xuanming, and the Kunpeng that descended from the sky feel as if they were trapped in quagmire. The terrifying binding force caused their expressions to change involuntarily.
With a deafening roar, Shi Mo remained unaffected. Instead, he unleashed a flurry of punches with both hands, causing space to distort into two vortexes. Wuzhiqi and Xuanming were sent flying before they could even parry with their divine weapons.

As he was sent flying backward in a disheveled state, Wuzhiqi exploded, turning into a rain of divine power and blood.

Even the hard white bone armor on Xuanming's body cracked, and some pieces even fell off.

Xuanming, who had retreated hundreds of miles away in a sorry state, was already exhausted. Wuzhiqi, who had also reconstituted his divine body hundreds of miles away, was even weaker. He trembled all over and looked at Shi Mo with eyes full of terror, as if he were looking at a perverted demon.

At the same time, seeing this scene, the Kunpeng, which was about to flap its wings and flee as if startled, was still slapped hard by Shi Mo's hands, which were suddenly raised and clasped together.
With a thud, the Kunpeng, trembling and coughing up blood, struggled to escape Shi Mo's fatal strike as the void trembled and twisted. It then swooped down, scooped up Wuzhiqi and Xuanming with its claws, and flew away.

With a sharp and cold gaze, Shi Mo watched Kunpeng and the others escape, but did not pursue them.

It's not that he couldn't keep Kunpeng, but he had already revealed quite a bit of his strength and abilities today. If he really killed Kunpeng and the others, Gonggong would probably be furious.

Before he had fully comprehended the Dao of Heaven, Shi Mo did not want to anger an ancestral god, and there was no point in fighting Gonggong to the death.

Turning his gaze to the Pangu Battle Formation of the Water Kingdom brought by Wuzhiqi and his group, who had no time to escape, Shi Mo waved his hand, causing the space to tremble. Then, the Pangu Battle Formation, which had been barely stabilized by the energy aftershocks of Shi Mo's previous attack, collapsed directly.

In an instant, a large number of gods and demons scattered in panic and fled, but they were immediately frozen in the stagnant void. Even the gods struggled to make the stagnant space tremble slightly, but could not escape.

“Since you’re here, then stay! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you,” Shi Mo said, glancing at one of the gods who had transformed into a two-winged dragon, and raising an eyebrow: “Yinglong?”

Yinglong Daozu, from the Three Realms era, was a sworn brother of the Xia Emperor of the Great Xia World. But now, he is merely a celestial being, a minor figure in this Pangu World.

With a whoosh, Shi Mo moved his mind, and the water gods and demons who were frozen in the void suddenly shattered as the void trembled, their auras weakened, and their vital energy greatly damaged.

"Suppress them." Shi Mo instructed Jiu Feng, who had also disbanded the Pangu Battle Formation, and then looked up into the distance: "Fellow Daoist San Shou, Fellow Daoist Jiu Yang, now that you're here, why rush to leave?"

"This..." The slightly plump old man, Fellow Daoist Jiu Yang, looked at San Shou beside him, feeling somewhat caught in a dilemma.

San Shou smiled calmly and flew towards Shi Mo: "Shi Mo, you are not born a Chaos True God, and you shouldn't even be a Chaos Heavenly God, yet your cultivation speed is so fast, amazing!"

"I, Sanshou, rarely admire anyone, but your talent is probably better than many Chaos True Gods or even Ancestral Gods!" Sanshou exclaimed in admiration.

He fought against three opponents single-handedly, managing to force three powerful True Gods to flee in disarray. Such strength is among the best of the True Gods and Dao Ancestors.

It should be noted that Kunpeng and Xuanming were both born from Chaos True Gods, and Wuzhiqi was a divine beast born at the beginning of creation. They were all exceptionally talented and were considered elites among the True Gods and Dao Ancestors, not at the bottom.

"Fellow Daoist Sanshou, you flatter me. Defeating them won't be difficult for you," Shi Mo said. Sanshou's eyes lit up at Shi Mo's words, and he laughed loudly: "Haha. I'm not afraid of them, but I also know my own limitations. Although I'm confident in my strength, I haven't yet comprehended the Heavenly Dao. Even if I comprehend the Heavenly Dao and become a Dao Ancestor, I wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Water God!"

"Fellow Daoist Sanshou is quite straightforward," Shi Mo said with a smile, then looked at True God Jiuyang, who was standing to the side with a cautious, apologetic smile: "I've heard that Fellow Daoist Jiuyang is skilled in brewing wine?"

Upon hearing Shi Mo mention this, True God Jiu Yang immediately perked up: "Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, in terms of strength, I am inferior to you and San Shou, and I am only at the bottom among True Gods. But if we talk about brewing wine, I'm afraid even Goddess Nuwa is no match for me!"

"The Goddess Nuwa? She can brew wine too?" Shi Mo was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe. Shi Mo, you don't know this, but Nuwa is undoubtedly the most powerful being in the Pangu World. Her talent is extraordinary. Not only has she comprehended the most Dao, but she also has a wide range of knowledge. She knows almost everything and is good at everything."

When San Shou mentioned Nuwa, his eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "You should know that Goddess Nuwa was born with control over the Heavenly Dao of Life, and later comprehended the two Heavenly Daos of Yin and Yang, controlling creation and life, creating the human race. She is most skilled at cultivating various spiritual plants and immortal herbs, so the quality of the spiritual materials used to brew this wine is crucial."

"Haha, Sanshou, we all know you admire the Goddess Nuwa, but when it comes to brewing wine, I'm still the best at it. You'd better not show off," Jiu Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sanshou talking so eloquently.

"Oh? The human race?" Shi Mo raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoists, I don't know much about the human race. The human race created by the Goddess Nuwa must be extraordinary, right? How is the human race now?"

"Humans?" San Shou was taken aback, then said, "I haven't really paid much attention to them. Although the human race reproduces very quickly, it seems that there aren't many strong ones nowadays. Ordinary humans are not born as innate beings, so they are really too weak."

Jiu Yang then said, "I do know a little about the human race. Although humans are born weak, they generally have high comprehension, and even the weakest humans are very intelligent. In addition, the human race reproduces very quickly, so the efficiency of the birth of strong individuals is not low."

“Yes, the human race does indeed have monstrous geniuses. The current leader of the human race, Suirenshi, easily transcended the tribulation to become a god in a relatively short period of cultivation, and is now a true god,” Sanshou said.

Jiu Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "Suirenshi was indeed a prodigy. It was under his leadership that the human race was able to survive in the Pangu world. However, the fact that he was able to become a true god so quickly was probably due to the guidance and help of the Goddess Nuwa."

“Even with guidance from Goddess Nuwa, he still needs to have good comprehension,” San Shou said. “Among us gods and demons, there are very few as prodigies as Suirenshi. However, I think Fellow Daoist Shi Mo’s talent and potential are in no way inferior to Suirenshi’s.”

“That’s right, that’s right, Fellow Daoist Shi Mo is indeed a genius,” Jiu Yang added.

Hearing their praise, Shi Mo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "I am truly unworthy of such praise from you two fellow Daoists!"

"It's rare to meet you here. If you two fellow Daoists don't mind, why don't you come to my place for a visit and try the immortal fruits I grow and the immortal wine I brew?" Shi Mo then extended a warm invitation.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, you can also brew wine?" Jiu Yang and San Shou were both somewhat surprised to hear this.

Without saying a word or offering any further explanation, Shi Mo led the two directly to the cave on the Eight Treasures Peak of the Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, your cave dwelling is truly remarkable!" San Shou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the cave dwelling, where the energy of heaven and earth was so dense that it transformed into a misty haze.

Shi Mo, who invited them to sit down, then took out some wine: "Come, fellow Daoists, please try my newly brewed Peach Immortal Wine."

"Mmm, what a rich fruity aroma!" Smelling the enticing aroma, Jiu Yang couldn't help but take a sip, and then exclaimed with bright eyes, "It really is a good wine!"

"The taste is good, but it's not strong enough," said Misato, after taking a big gulp of his drink.

"Sanshou, what do you know?" Jiu Yang rolled his eyes at Sanshou, then looked at Shi Mo with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, I didn't expect you to be so good at brewing wine! It's a pity that the peaches used in this Peach Immortal Wine are not very good, otherwise the taste would be even better!"

"Hehe. Fellow Daoist Jiu Yang is indeed an expert. My Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain has only been managed for a few hundred years, and there aren't many good spiritual fruits in the surrounding orchards. This wine is also newly brewed, so naturally the taste is a bit inferior."

As he spoke with a smile, Shi Mo took out another type of wine: "Fellow Daoist Sanshou, try my millet wine. It's much stronger than fruit wine."

"Hmm, good wine!" San Shou's eyes lit up after taking a curious sip. "Rich and strong, it's really good wine! Even better than the wine brewed by Jiu Yang!"

"Is it really that good?" Jiu Yang frowned with some skepticism, took a sip, and couldn't help but say, "It does have a unique flavor, but compared to some of the good wines I brew, it's still a bit inferior, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Jiu Yang couldn't help but awkwardly laugh at Shi Mo, "Ahem, Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, I didn't mean your wine was bad."

"It's alright, this wine was just something I brewed casually. It may have a unique flavor, but it certainly can't compare to Fellow Daoist Jiu Yang,"

Shi Mo waved his hand and smiled, then couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fellow Daoist Jiu Yang, could you please let me have a taste of your fine wine?"

“Of course, of course,” Jiu Yang said with shining eyes, quickly taking out some wine and pouring it out for Shi Mo to taste.

As an expert in brewing in the Pangu world, the wine brewed by the God of Wine Yang is indeed unique.

In particular, the immortal wines brewed from some precious spiritual fruits and materials are no less than the immortal wine made from peaches in the primordial world.

Shi Mo, San Shou, and Jiu Yang drank and chatted, and several months passed in the blink of an eye. They talked freely with each other, just like good friends, and before they knew it, they were calling each other brothers.

After drinking countless bottles of fine wine and becoming somewhat tipsy, San Shou and Jiu Yang finally took their leave, satisfied.

No sooner had they left than Zhu Rong arrived at Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain.
