As they were all stunned into silence, a beam of blue light, transformed from five-colored lotuses, fell into the canyon.

On the ruins, as the first tender green appeared, vibrant life spread out, and patches of green grass sprang up from the ground, quickly becoming lush and verdant, like a green velvet carpet covering the entire canyon.

Countless beams of blue light shot straight into the pit in the middle of the canyon, where they converged to form a curtain of water that blotted out the sky.

Like a waterfall cascading down a mountain stream, the water curtain pours down, creating a deafening roar.

In just a short half-hour, the thousand-meter-deep pit was filled with water and transformed into a shimmering lake.

The lake connects to the canyons on both sides, reflecting the lush greenery.

From above, a large, black lake connects the canyons on both sides, and it is absolutely breathtaking under the setting sun.

Cheers rose and fell on the city walls.

"My goodness! Who is this great immortal who can move mountains, create lakes, and form abysses with a wave of their hand! What incredible supernatural power this is!"

"Boss, my wife often goes to the Taoist temple and knows a bit about mythology. With such great supernatural powers, she must be at least a celestial being!"

"I wonder if he is a Taoist immortal or a Buddhist bodhisattva?"

"Are you crazy? That deity has long hair that reaches his shoulders, he must be a celestial lord."

In the corner, the swordsman finally came to his senses from what had just happened. He glanced at the soldiers discussing and shouted to the militia leader in charge.

"Lucky kid, don't worship the wrong person. That one is a deity from Qishan Dao, neither Taoist nor Buddhist..."

The militia leader, Lin Han, was slightly taken aback, and immediately moved closer to the swordsman.

"Great hero, do you know that immortal lord? Could you tell us more about him? We plan to build a grand temple for him in the city, so we can worship him day and night..."

"The boss is right! This is a true deity who saved the entire city! We'll give up everything we own to build a magnificent temple for this immortal!"

Looking at the soldiers who kept calling him "Immortal Lord" and even demanding that a temple be built to worship him, the swordsman remained silent for a long time, swallowing back the words "God of Slaughter" that he almost blurted out.

He had no doubt that if he dared to call himself a "god of death" at this moment, these soldiers would rush up and kill him.

The miracle has just been performed, and in Wangliu City now, the power of faith is enough to drive anyone mad.

Looking at the soldier whose eyes were shining, the swordsman racked his brains and did his best to say something against his will.

"That immortal lord just now... resides near Mount Qi, has no specific title, is skilled in the Five Elements, and can create all things..."

The swordsman originally intended to say "destroy the world," but he suddenly recalled the earth-shattering scene from not long ago, and his words unconsciously changed.

"If you truly wish to build a temple for that Immortal Lord Mu, you might consider calling him the Five Elements Immortal Lord..."

"Is the Immortal Lord's surname Mu?"

"Indeed, his surname is Mu and his given name is An. He resides in the territory of Qishan Dao and is a celestial lord who hates evil as if it were his enemy."

"Thank you so much for clearing up my doubts! You are truly a kind person!"

"We plan to select a site and begin construction tomorrow to build two large temples, one in the center of Wangliu City and the other in Zhan Yao Valley. Would you like to join us in building temples for the Immortal Lord?"

"Demon-Slaying Valley?"

"It's that great canyon that the immortal lord carved out below the city. We were just discussing it; the immortal lord slew demons here to save all living beings, so naming it Demon-Slaying Valley is most fitting!"

"That lake?"

"Demon-Slaying Lake!"

The swordsman's face was cold, his mind churning. After a long while, he finally spoke, "No, you can stand up yourselves. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."

"Alright! Take care, hero! We still need to discuss building a temple for the Immortal Lord, so we won't see you off!"

On the steps of the city wall, the swordsman stumbled and staggered down the city tower.

"Boss, what's wrong with that hero? He can't even walk straight!"

"He was probably too excited to see the Immortal Lord. It's nothing serious, don't worry about him... We have something more important to do now."

"What is it?"

"Hit me! Give me a couple of punches in the face too!"

"Boss, you've finally come to your senses! I knew it! Getting beaten up a few times to get back the position of prefect? ​​What kind of good deal is that? This is an incredible stroke of luck! Don't worry, the brothers will take care of it right away, and even the Immortal Lord will approve!"

Riverside teahouse.

A brand-new tablecloth was laid on the dining table, and six main dishes and eighteen local snacks from Wangliu City were neatly arranged on the table.

In the past quarter of an hour, the teahouse owner had used all his skills to prepare this table of dishes.

At this moment, Mu An sat at the table, enjoying his meal alone, taking bites of food and sips of wine.

The shopkeeper sat half a meter to his side, respectfully raising his cup every now and then in response to Mu An's movements, but he didn't eat a single bite of food.

The shopkeeper's wife did the same; seeing that Mu An's wine was empty, she immediately got up and refilled it for him.

The waiter, who was the older brother, kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Mu An even once.

Only the youngest girl would glance at Mu An from time to time, and then quickly lower her head when Mu An looked back.

But the admiration and curiosity in her eyes were impossible to hide, so much so that she put her hands on her legs and kept fidgeting.

Such an atmosphere was far from relaxed, and certainly did not meet Mu An's initial expectations.

He thought the teahouse owner was a smart man, and now it seems that the owner is indeed somewhat shrewd, but still a bit too cautious.

The way of survival for people at the bottom is to avoid making mistakes, not to stand out. Even when opportunities are presented to them, they dare not gamble.

I can understand it, but I'm not particularly happy about it.

Inviting him to dinner, only to have it turn out like this, is truly disappointing.

"Aren't you going to eat, shopkeeper?"

Perhaps sensing the change in Mu An's attitude, the shopkeeper hesitated for a few seconds before immediately imitating Mu An's manner, picking up some food, taking a couple of bites, and then raising his wine glass.

"Young master, let me offer you a toast to thank you for everything you have done for the people of Wangliu City."

Mu An glanced at the shopkeeper, did not deny his statement, and picked up the wine cup to take a sip.

"It's just on the way, nothing serious. And those two little ones over there, stop standing there and eat your food."

The two waiters were both taken aback. The older one hesitated for a moment, while the younger one happily picked up his chopsticks and reached for his favorite dish.

She had never seen so many dishes before in her life, and she had been craving them for so long!

The girl's cheeks bulged as she ate, stuffing food into her mouth like a hamster.

The shopkeeper's wife couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she pinched the girl's leg. The girl, feeling wronged, put down her chopsticks and slowed down her movements a little.

Mu An watched with interest, happily picking up a cup and using the Five Elements to make a glass of watermelon juice.

"Here, this is my little one's favorite drink. You should like it too."

The girl was slightly taken aback, turned her head to look at her father, and saw that her father kept nodding at her, so she picked up the cup with both hands.

"Thank you, Immortal!"

"How does it taste?"

"Delicious!"

"If you like it, that's good."

"Immortal! Immortal! Do you have children at home?"

There's a girl, a bit older than you.

"So she's a fairy?"

"I hope she is..."

Amid the girl's chattering, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. After a few drinks, the innkeeper was no longer as reserved as before and became more talkative, thanking Mu An profusely.

Mu An simply chuckled and sampled each of the snacks on the table.

Until one moment, Mu An suddenly glanced out the window.

The curious girl looked out the window with him. "Immortal, what's happening outside?"

"I saw someone I just met today."

"The people the immortal knows must be incredibly powerful!"

"He's a swordsman, and quite skilled."

"That person must be a good person."

"That's not necessarily true, but he was definitely a good person today."
