Chapter 565 The Arrival of the Holy Sword Player

"The Witch King's messenger has come to invite me to leave the mountain?"

After a moment's thought, Zhou Nan said, "Let him come over!"

"yes!"

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain obeyed the command and soon brought over a burly man with a long beard, dressed in a yellow robe. Upon reaching the summit, the man bowed respectfully to Zhou Nan from afar, saying, "This humble immortal, Fei Xiong, greets the True Man!"

"Flying Bear?" Zhou Nan smiled. "I thought it was Shen Gongbao."

"Hmm? What does the real person mean?" The flying bear clearly didn't understand.

"It's nothing, you can continue."

Fei Xiong cupped his hands again and said, "The True Man is incredibly powerful and is a renowned Great True Man and Great Immortal within thousands of miles. Our King yearns for the Dao of Immortality and is eager to find worthy men. He has long heard of the True Man's great name, but unfortunately, he is too busy with state affairs to come and pay his respects. Therefore, he has sent this humble immortal to bring a small gift to show his respect to the True Man."

After saying this, the little fairy Flying Bear waved his sleeve, and several treasure chests appeared in front of him. The lids of the chests opened, revealing glittering treasures filled with gold and silver.

"Hmm." Zhou Nan glanced at the treasure chests, but there were no Divine Demon Coins or anything he needed. He was slightly disappointed, but nodded. "What do you want? Just say it."

Fei Xiong Xiao Xian looked slightly embarrassed and said, "This is just a small gift, a mundane thing, which I'm afraid is not worthy of your attention, Master. Very well, I will speak frankly. The world is now divided in two. Our Lord, the Witch King, is a man of great talent and ambition. He is recruiting many extraordinary people and intends to unify the human world. You have great magical power, Master. If you can lend a hand, you will become the Grand General of my Witch Kingdom. Wealth and beauty will be within your grasp."

"Just as I thought," Zhou Nan said. "I have no desire to participate in the world's conflicts. You may return now."

"A true master cultivates great magical powers, yet sits in seclusion deep in the mountains, his fame remaining unknown. Isn't that a pity?"

Zhou Nan laughed and said, "It's no pity. You can go back now. This true man enters the world according to fate, and now is not the time."

"In that case, I will now descend the mountain. If you do not mind, I will build a small temple at the foot of the mountain to guard your gate." Master Fei Xiong bowed and withdrew, without taking the gold and silver treasures he had given him.

Zhou Nan didn't care. He ordered the mountain god of Chiyang Mountain to collect the gold and silver treasures and told him that if anyone else came to see him, they could bring them up the mountain.

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain obeyed the command and distributed gold and silver treasures to most of the people of Chiyang. However, he also discovered that the little fairy Feixiong had indeed built a small temple at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that he planned to live at the foot of the mountain.

"Since the immortal is unwilling to descend the mountain, you should leave." The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain found Flying Bear Fairy, his face full of arrogance. "You're useless staying here."

Flying Bear Fairy said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. There's no rush."

"Whatever you want!"

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain waved his sleeves and left.

That Flying Bear Immortal was no ordinary person. He would run up the mountain every few days. He was very talented. He quarried stones and spent three whole months building the Chiyang Temple all by himself. Many mortals of the Chiyang tribe became familiar with him and respected him as the High Priest.

This "High Priest" is, of course, the High Priest of the Crimson Sun Immortal.

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain was displeased and bluntly stated that Little Fairy Feixiong threatened his position in front of True Man Chiyang, calling him a sycophant.

Flying Bear Fairy was not annoyed. She said to the Mountain God of Chiyang, "Brother Mountain God, you don't know. I have a royal order to carry out. If I can't invite the True Man to come out of the mountain, I will be punished when I return."

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain then guarded the entrance to the summit of Chiyang Mountain, determined to prevent Fei Xiong Xiao Xian from currying favor with Zhou Nan.

After some time, a charming woman with a fox tail came to pay her respects. This woman was the demon king's messenger, and her purpose was the same as Fei Xiong's.

"My name is Yu Ji. If you, sir, are willing to leave this mountain and lend a hand to my demon kingdom in the fight against that wicked witch king, I am willing to serve you as your personal attendant..."

The demon king's messenger, Yu Ji, arrived at the mountaintop and bowed to Zhou Nan. She brought no gold or silver treasures, but was willing to sacrifice herself.

Zhou Nan considered the possibility of a honey trap, but remained unmoved, saying, "Let's talk about it another time..."

"If you do not come down the mountain, I will stay here and guard the mountain gate for you until you are willing to come down."

Yu Ji smiled, her alluring charm fully revealed.

Zhou Nan said, "Being a scoundrel is useless, do as you please!"

He raised his hand and flipped his palm, from which a compass flew out. The compass quickly grew larger and, in the blink of an eye, took Yu Ji inside, then sent her down the mountain.

Zhou Nan used the Boundless Compass, and the jade-skinned woman was powerless to resist. Once she was taken into the compass, she immediately revealed her true form, which was a fox demon.

She tumbled down the mountain, landing on her bottom with a cry of "Ouch!" The Crimson Sun Mountain God and the Flying Bear Fairy, like two brothers, stood by with their hands tucked into their sleeves, watching in unison, and exclaimed, "A vixen!"

Yu Ji snorted, but did not leave. She also built a small temple at the foot of the mountain, lived in it, called herself Fairy Yu Ji, and guarded the mountain gate for Zhou Nan.

The reason why Flying Bear Fairy and Jade Fairy acted this way was because Zhou Nan's reputation was too great, and they both wanted to invite Zhou Nan back.

In fact, there are many envoys from both countries like Flying Bear Fairy and Jade Fairy. They travel all over famous mountains to recruit extraordinary people for the Wu and Yao kingdoms. Ordinary wild spirits and wild immortals are easy to recruit, unlike Zhou Nan who is unmoved by wealth and beauty.

The sixteen experts that Lan Cuihua secretly trained were also invited by the envoys of the Wu and Yao kingdoms. Some of them were tempted and joined the Wu and Yao kingdoms.

Those invited players were quite proud, feeling that their strength had been recognized. After joining the Witch and Demon kingdoms, they tried their best to perform, accumulate military merits, and improve their status, and most of them were doing very well.

Among these people was a woman named Murong Huayan, who had joined the Witch Kingdom.

The Witch Kingdom gathered extraordinary individuals and established the First-Rank Hall. Those who could enter the First-Rank Hall were all of the first rank in strength and were awarded the title of Grand General of the Witch Kingdom.

There are more than one player who has joined the Witch Kingdom, but she is the only one who can join the First-Class Hall right now.

This Murong Huayan was the 63rd person to join Yipintang, and his ranking was also 63rd. He was given the title of General Huayan and had his own palace and attendants.

Murong Huayan was quite pleased with herself and was enjoying her current life. She was currently in the main hall of Yipintang, drinking and chatting with other experts from Yipintang. The King of Wu Kingdom was also in the hall, sitting in the high seat.

Suddenly, an official wearing a tall hat ran into the hall, knelt down and announced: "Your Majesty, congratulations! A powerful immortal has been invited and is willing to serve our Wu Kingdom."

The Witch King, who appeared to be in his forties and was of imposing stature, put down his wine cup upon hearing this, a look of delight on his face. He asked, "Hmm, which immortal is it? Do you have a name?"

The official wearing a tall hat said, "Your Majesty, that immortal is called the Great Golden Immortal, and he calls himself the True Man of Taiyi."

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Huayan immediately spat out the wine in her mouth.

Who doesn't know Taiyi Zhenren?

I haven't read the novel "Investiture of the Gods," but I've seen the TV series and movies about it.

Taiyi Zhenren, Nezha's master, what a big shot!

"Oh right, this is the world of Investiture of the Gods, and there will be a great war of gods in the future. I should have guessed it long ago! Good heavens, I'm actually on the same side as Taiyi Zhenren, and we'll be colleagues in the future..."

Murong Huayan became even more smug.

There is a friend call function in the world of Fengshen, but this function is only available between players of the same race in the same world. Murong Huayan immediately started a group chat with the other 15 companions.

"Hey, did you know? Master Taiyi has appeared!"

Who is Taiyi Zhenren?

"Anyone who doesn't know Taiyi Zhenren? Are they from Earth?"

"My home planet is Earth, but I know Taiyi Zhenren, Nezha's master!"

"Taiyi Zhenren has joined the Witch Kingdom? A master from the First-Class Hall?"

"Yes!"

"I was just about to say that Master Yuding has joined the demon kingdom."

"And there's also Jade Cauldron Immortal?"

"yes!"

"And who is Master Yuding?"

"Yang Jian's master, one of the big shots!"

"Has Yang Jian logged in yet?"

"The third-generation disciples probably shouldn't be born yet."

"Since there are Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren, are there other disciples of the Chan Sect, and are there any disciples of the Jie Sect?"

"Maybe!"

"So, should we join the Lich Kingdom too?"

"Join us! The Great War of the Gods might just decide who owns the Holy Sword!"

"How do I join the Lich Kingdom?"

"Didn't anyone invite you?"

"No?"

"Strive to improve your strength and kill more monsters, and envoys from the Lich Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom will come to invite you to come out of seclusion."

"In the Witch Kingdom, as long as you are strong enough, you can directly become a Grand General and enter the First Rank Hall. I am currently ranked 63rd in the First Rank Hall!"

"The Demon Kingdom has the Celestial God Group, which should be equivalent to the First-Class Hall of the Witch Kingdom!"

"Keep it up, everyone! I'm going to go offer a toast to Master Taiyi now..."

Murong Huayan was filled with anticipation and soon met Taiyi Zhenren. She felt that this man, with his immortal demeanor, was indeed a great figure and perfectly matched the image of an immortal in her mind.

After the banquet, the Taiyi Zhenren slightly revealed his skills, easily subduing the Mighty Bull Demon King, who was ranked number one in Yipintang, with a single hand seal, thus becoming the new number one expert in Yipintang.

Murong Huayan thought to herself that the big boss was indeed a big boss; she herself would definitely not have been able to withstand that huge handprint just now.

"My current strength is not bad, but I am definitely no match for Taiyi Zhenren. If I had Nezha, I might be able to compete with him."

Murong Huayan pondered silently, and four years later, her ranking in Yipintang rose to sixth place, and Nezha actually appeared.

However, Nezha did not seem to recognize Taiyi Zhenren. He did not possess any magical treasures such as the Universe Ring, the Hun Tian Ling, the Wind and Fire Wheels, or the Fire-Tipped Spear. He only knew one move, the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle." He was a very low-key person and ranked last in the Yipin Hall, at number 168.

Murong Huayan shared the news of Nezha's birth with her companions, which sparked another round of discussion and speculation among them.

And Nezha, of course, is Zhou Nan's summoned card.

To be precise, he was the thirteenth Imaginary God released by Zhou Nan, who was only given the palm technique "Sea-Stabilizing Needle".

Of the last six palm techniques in the Nine Subduing Dragon Palms, only the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle" technique is as straightforward and swift as the first three.

Zhou Nan sat cross-legged atop the Crimson Sun Divine Mountain as always, his cultivation increasing day by day. He occasionally used the core's computing power to deduce cultivation techniques, such as combining [Palm Technique: Annihilation Divine Halberd] with [Palm Technique: Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle], or combining [Palm Technique: Fire Prison] with [Palm Technique: Boundless Compass], and so on.

But in the end, he discovered that the nine palm techniques of the Nine Subduing Dragon Palms were already perfect. Although he could imagine the nine palm techniques as cards and synthesize them infinitely, the resulting new palm techniques would be incongruous and their power would be reduced.

Time flies, and another four years have passed.

Zhou Nan's qigong cultivation has increased extremely rapidly, and his current combat power is close to five million. He has also mastered the method of concealing qi, which allows him to hide his own qi.

Concealing Qi is not a particularly profound technique, but it is a combination of Qigong and light radiation techniques. It is a technique created by Zhou Nan himself. Its principle is to use the Supreme Emperor Technique to change the magnetic field and energy of oneself and the surrounding environment, interfere with others' detection, and even make oneself optically invisible.

At the foot of Chiyang Mountain, the Chiyang Mountain God, Flying Bear Fairy, and Jade Fairy have become very familiar with each other. Occasionally, when low-level monsters invade, they are the ones who deal with them, allowing the mortals of most of Chiyang to live and work in peace.

Meanwhile, the mortals of Chiyang learned to brew wine and often brought it as tribute. The three of them often drank together and lived a very leisurely life.

It was also because of the presence of Fairy Flying Bear and Fairy Jade Maiden that the new envoys sent by the Wu and Yao kingdoms did not enter Chiyang Mountain.

That day, the three of them were drinking together again. Fei Xiong Xiao Xian had already finished a whole jar and muttered, "When is the Master Zhenren finally coming out of the mountain?"

The deity of Chiyang Divine Mountain said, "How could the True Man so easily leave the mountain?"

"I reckon the Lich Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom will be at war soon," said Fairy Jade Princess. "To be honest, I don't understand why we need to fight. Wouldn't peaceful coexistence be better?"

"Shh, don't speak, the master has issued a notice."

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain suddenly became serious and waved his hand to tell Flying Bear Fairy and Jade Fairy to be quiet.

At the summit of Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan finally opened his eyes.

He sensed something and looked up at the sky.

When one cultivates qigong to a high level, even before the autumn wind blows, the cicadas sense it; death comes unexpectedly without one's knowledge. At this moment, Zhou Nan vaguely sensed that something seemed to have changed in this world.

Soon, the mountain god of Chiyang Mountain rushed over to report: "Real Person, the master has sent a notice that he has quit and run away. All the mountain gods, land gods, and river gods have been dismissed. The master said that he has handed over control, and from now on, the core will be the Lord of the World. I don't understand very well, but I know that this world is about to change, so I came to report."

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "It's nothing serious, don't panic. I'm at the foot of the mountain, I'll keep you safe!"

He realized that the core had taken over the Investiture of the Gods world, and the Holy Sword mission was probably about to begin.

At this very moment, thirty pillars of light descended from the sky in various parts of the Investiture of the Gods world.

Each beam of light that falls signifies the arrival of a player.

Those players were the top thirty on the potential leaderboard listed by the core team. Among them were Wu Tian, ​​the legendary figure of the Ape Warrior clan; Guangfu Shengzu from the starry universe; Zhang Daqian, the Dinosaur Emperor; Tu Sanjia, the Deep Sea Demon God; Zhu Paigu, the Pig Emperor; Chen Feinian, the Goddess of the Sky Moth; the Demon Lizard player [Demon]; Wu Dalang, the Ape Warrior player; and so on.

There are six human players: Ma Chaoqian, Yan Tengkong, Xuan Jiankong, Mi Cannian, Song Qingfeng, and Lan Yuping.

Soon, another beam of light descended upon the Star-Picking Tower.

The person in the pillar of light was Blue Butterfly.

At the summit of Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan gazed at the sky and could vaguely sense some familiar energy. He immediately understood and muttered to himself, "It seems the Great War of the Gods is about to begin."
