Chapter 218 The Mountain God of Qingqiu Mountain

On the shore of the East China Sea.

With the three God-Kings of the Light God System, Star God System, and Mountain and Sea God System as the main body, seventy-two large god systems as the auxiliary, and thousands of medium and small god systems as the foundation, they fully support the Shang Dynasty.

After more than a thousand years of war, the Shang Dynasty had already occupied 95 percent of the coastline of the East China Sea.

Thousands of imperial powers along the coast of the East China Sea surrendered and were incorporated into the Shang Dynasty.

Only the Tai Xuan Dynasty remained, barely clinging to life.

This Tai Xuan Dynasty was actually a secret agent planted by the Xuanmen on the shores of the East Sea.

Originally, the plan was to use this to delay the Shang Dynasty's unification of the East China Sea, but who would have thought that a spy from the Divine Court would also emerge in the Shouyang Mountain region, and that the threat to the Xuanmen Zhou Dynasty was far greater than that to the Shang Dynasty posed by the Taixuan Dynasty.

At the beginning, the Tai Xuan Dynasty was able to occupy 18 percent of the territory on the coast of the East China Sea due to its unexpected attack.

Now?

Faced with pressure from the Shang Dynasty, the Tai Xuan Dynasty suffered a complete defeat in less than three hundred years.

This forced them to shrink their battle lines and unite as one.

To this day, the Tai Xuan Dynasty, supported by their Xuanmen, has managed to hold its ground for hundreds of years at a junction between the East China Sea and the Shouyang Mountain region, relying on its strategic passes and elite troops.

Between the East China Sea and Shouyang Mountain lies a famous mountain called Qingqiu Mountain.

There is a god on the mountain named Bai Ling, the god of Qingqiu Mountain.

Bai Ling is the second elder of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and belongs to the fourth-rank Mountain God of the Earthly God Court.

My superior is the Taoist Shangyuanzi, the mountain god of Mount Taibai, who is of the third rank.

Meanwhile, Bai Ling, the mountain god of Qingqiu, commands four fifth-rank mountain gods, thirty-six sixth-rank mountain gods, one hundred and eight seventh-rank mountain gods, and even thousands of eighth and ninth-rank mountain gods.

Apart from the majority being rogue cultivators who were originally virtuous individuals, the rest were mostly nine-tailed foxes who had achieved enlightenment through solitary cultivation.

Although both the divine offices of the Earth Gods' Court and the divine offices of the human dynasties are based on the nine-rank system of divine officials, there are still significant differences between the two.

The divine offices of the Earth Gods Court are endowed with divine authority corresponding to each rank, and they can also enhance their divine power and even their divine office by absorbing the incense offerings.

While the official positions and divine offices in the human imperial court each possess their own power at each rank.

However, the biggest difference between the other local deities and priests is that they cannot improve their cultivation or divine power by absorbing incense offerings and prayers.

In the human dynasties, the official positions and clergy are fixed once appointed.

To be promoted again, one must gain the favor of the emperor. With each promotion, the power associated with that official rank and divine office will also increase.

Therefore.

The divine power of the earth deity is enhanced by the power of incense offerings and prayers.

Of course, before being appointed as a deity, one's original cultivation level can still be improved, and one can advance in both directions simultaneously.

For example, Bai Ling, the mountain god of Qingqiu.

He was originally a demon god of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but after joining the Earthly God Court, he also became a fourth-rank mountain god (equivalent to the True God realm/True Immortal realm).

The same applies to official positions and divine duties in human dynasties.

The promotion of their official rank and divine power relied on the power of the dynasty's fortune bestowed by the emperor.

The more fortune one possesses, the higher their official rank and grade will be.

Of course, when a human is appointed as a god in the imperial court, he can continue to cultivate his original martial arts skills and can advance in both areas at the same pace as the earth gods.

Therefore.

Don't underestimate Bai Ling, the mountain god of Qingqiu, just because he is only a fourth-rank earth god (true god). Don't think that he is a weakling who can be bullied at will.

He still possesses the cultivation level of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal!

If someone unknowingly offends her, not only will they face her retaliation, but the Earthly Gods and Divine Court behind her will certainly not let it go.

Unfortunately, someone did inadvertently provoke the Qingqiu faction.

For example, the Tai Xuan Dynasty.

Tai Xuan Palace, Yuanhe Hall, Tai Xuan Dynasty.

The Yin imperial family traces its lineage back to Yin Yuan, an advisor to Emperor Shun during the Five Emperors period.

Yin Yuan came from the Yin clan.

When the Yu Dynasty model emerged, their Yin clan was among the second group of tribes to establish a dynasty.

As early as after Emperor Shun attained the throne of the human emperor, he resigned from his official post in Chendu, the capital of the human race, and returned to the Yin clan tribe on the coast of the East Sea.

After lying low for several cycles, during the third cycle of Emperor Yu's establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, he gathered hundreds of small tribes and finally established the Yin Clan Tai Xuan Dynasty.

Due to the national conditions of the dynasty and its proximity to Shouyang Mountain.

The cultivation system of folk cultivators in the Tai Xuan Dynasty, besides the human martial arts system of the human race itself, is more based on the Xuanmen Immortal Path, supplemented by eight hundred other sects.

Originally, there were quite a few dynasties like the Tai Xuan Dynasty on the coast of the East China Sea.

These dynasties had already been explained to the Shang dynasty by the gods when they began to de-humanize the emperors.

However, due to negligence, the Tai Xuan Dynasty was mistakenly believed to be just an ordinary dynasty, which led to its rise to power and became a thorn in the side of the Shang Dynasty's unification of the East China Sea.

Fortunately, the Shang Dynasty had the support of many gods, and like a cheat code, it swiftly occupied 95% of the vast East China Sea coast in just a thousand years.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xuanmen's power was concentrated in the Taixuan Dynasty, while the Shang Dynasty's power was dispersed due to the expansion of its territory, then...

With the accumulated imperial fortune of the Shang Dynasty over the past thousand years, it would have already cleared the Tai Xuan Dynasty from the chessboard long ago.

However, that's all there is to it.

just now.

With the support of many divine races, the Shang Dynasty finally stabilized the situation in most of the coastal areas of the East Sea, freeing up its resources to gather its main forces and suppress the Tai Xuan Dynasty in one fell swoop.

This is no joke.

With the support of numerous divine races, coupled with the ever-growing imperial fortune of the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, once it has freed up its resources, will be able to easily suppress the Yin Clan's Tai Xuan Dynasty.

However, the Tai Xuan Dynasty did not sit idly by and wait for its demise.

Several years ago, they dispatched several small teams to survey the terrain in places such as Qingqiu Mountain, Taihe Mountain, and Suolong Pass.

They wanted to find several strategic passes to establish outposts, forming a triangular protective formation to safeguard the Tai Xuan Dynasty.

The Fox Realm of Qingqiu.

After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, many demon races in the prehistoric world scattered like loose sand.

After the rise of the human race's great dynasty, only the demon race's forces in remote and treacherous places were able to survive.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan is one of them.

The Qingqiu fox clan is skilled at scheming. Long before the demon and witch clans were both weakened, they secretly lay low for over a hundred eons.

Until the establishment of the Earth God Court and the rise of the Earth Gods, they took the initiative to send Hu Bailing, a kind-hearted and virtuous member of the clan, to Mount Tai to find the Emperor of Mount Tai.

After being instructed by several supreme deities, Hu Bailing eventually became a mountain god under the Mountain God Department of the Earth God Court, as the second elder of the Fox Clan.

It just so happens that Qingqiu Mountain is a sacred mountain of the blank deities, and with Hu Bailing's cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he easily became the mountain god of Qingqiu Mountain.

From then on, the Qingqiu Mountain Divine Realm and the Qingqiu Fox Realm, where Hu Yuanling, the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, resided, formed a triangular alliance.

The jackal demon clan, originally the mortal enemy of the Qingqiu fox clan, is now even less likely to pose a threat to the Qingqiu fox clan.

this day.

Hu Bailing came to the Fox Realm of Qingqiu to visit her sister Hu Yuanling. Suddenly, she received a message from Hu Yu'er, a sixth-rank mountain god of the Nine Desolate Mountains.

All I saw was...

In a garden surrounded by green hills and clear waters, two beautiful women, one in white and one in yellow, one dignified and noble, the other alluring and generous, chatted and laughed together in a pavilion.

Suddenly, the dignified and noble woman dressed in white frowned slightly.

Upon seeing this, the woman in yellow asked in a soft, surprised voice, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, it's getting late. I have matters to attend to in my divine realm, so I won't keep you company any longer!"

Hu Bailing shook her head to indicate that she was unharmed, and then smiled faintly.

Hu Yuanling was taken aback by his words and asked in surprise, "You're leaving so soon after arriving? Aren't you going to see Grandma?"

"No need, you can come over another time when you're free!"

"Alright, I understand." Hu Yuanling frowned slightly, but still nodded gently without saying anything more.

After Hu Bailing left, Hu Yuanling beckoned and called over a fox spirit.

"Clan Chief!" the fox woman bowed slightly and then said respectfully.

"Go ask Hu Lanlan if anything important has happened in the Qingqiu Divine Realm recently!"

"Yes!" With that, the fox girl transformed into a three-tailed white fox and swiftly flew towards the gate of Qingqiu Cave.
