Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 804

[Chapter 802: Losing Myself and Taoism]

“Blue divine power, ascend to heaven in one step?”

Minister Xu looked at this scene, wiped his eyes in disbelief, and then said: “Quick… give orders, we should leave the Black Cloud Mountains immediately and not become enemies with the Black Cloud Mountain God!”

Only he, a former high-ranking official of the Dao Court, knew the horror of the blue divine power.

Such an existence is a big shot even in the Dao Court!
“How can the Black Cloud Mountains, a mere place, give birth to such a good fortune?”

Minister Xu was completely confused, but that didn’t stop him from withdrawing immediately.

“My son obeys…”

Even if the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, there was nothing he could do.

Now that the Black Cloud Mountain God is in power, it means that all the investment made by the Xu family before has gone to waste.

Any noble family that encounters this situation would probably want to kill someone, or even kill God!

——If the Black Cloud Mountain God was only a seventh-rank or seventh-rank god, Minister Xu might have taken action directly!
Kill the mountain god, seize the divine talisman, and then refine the divine position and ascend to godhood. As long as the Dao Court recognizes it afterwards, everything will be fine.

But now, if the mountain god has a thought, the entire Xu family will suffer a devastating disaster.

“The fortune of Black Cloud Mountain originally belonged to my family…”

The middle-aged man dared not to complain.

“Now, I’m afraid I’ll become Daoting’s…”

But Xu Shilang’s eyes were clear, as if he saw through the world: “No matter what good fortune the Black Cloud Mountain Range has, the Black Cloud Mountain God can’t defend it, and neither can we… Our Xu family will not get involved in this muddy water.”

As the saying goes, age makes wisdom, and Minister Xu has experienced ups and downs in the court, so he does have the ability to make decisions.

No matter how much you invest or how reluctant you are… compared to the collapse of your family, it is nothing.

It didn’t take long before the entire Xujiazhai began to mobilize, even ignoring the winter festival.

Minister Xu walked out of the mountain village slowly, looking at the mountain where the strange phenomenon was slowly fading away, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: “You robbed me of my fortune, but you also saved me from a disaster… Black Cloud Mountain God, I really don’t know whether I should hate you or thank you.”

If the fortune of Black Cloud Mountain was obtained by him, Minister Xu knew very well that he would definitely not be able to keep it!
…

“He actually ascended to heaven in one step and became a great god above the fifth rank?”

On Panlong Lake, all the water gods were speechless.

After a long time, a turtle servant murmured.

“This situation is really rare… With an area of 100 miles in Black Cloud Mountain, it can only support a seventh-rank or lower-rank mountain god…”

Panlong Lake Lord Dragon’s eyes flashed with brilliance: “If it was conferred by the Dao Court, or if it was created by the incense of a mortal… I’m afraid it would only be possible to advance to the seventh rank, a divine position bestowed by heaven, or if the mountain god himself was a spirit of the mountain and received preferential treatment, it would be possible to advance to the seventh rank in one step… But the situation now is very different.”

“Lord Long, I’m afraid there is a big secret under the Black Cloud Mountains.”

A trace of jealousy flashed across the narrow face of a water snake.

“If there is a hidden dragon vein under the Black Cloud Mountain, how could the former mountain god not have discovered it?” Panlong Lake Lord sneered at this.

Mountain gods and water gods like them have a very detailed sense of the places under their jurisdiction, and will not miss any treasure or any unusual thing…

In the formation, a black loach yawned and lazily turned over. A girl beside it seemed to have been teased and was crying…

“According to my estimation, there may be something wrong with this Black Cloud Mountain God. He may be the reincarnation of a person of great merit, or he may have an exceptionally deep talent, or he may have a treasure… Of course, it is more likely that he has all three.”

Panlonghu Jun suddenly laughed heartily: “Such a big event, the Taoist court will probably confer the title soon, it will be a good show to watch…”

A strong look of anticipation emerged in his eyes.

…

Fang Xi’s Shinto incarnation was in a state of confusion.

His mind was infinitely elevated, as if it had merged into one with the entire Black Cloud Mountain Range.

For other people who have achieved divine enlightenment overnight, this might be an extremely novel experience, but for him, the incarnation of mountains is a common occurrence.

The whole mountain is like his body.

This is naturally the credit of the ‘Mountain Pearl’.

This item was left behind by the black market lord who was at the peak of the seventh level. It is the gathering place of all the essence of this alien.

If it is only used to sacrifice and refine the incarnation, then it would be a complete waste of such a great reputation.

“The incarnation of the Mountain Pearl is a natural earth spirit body, born at the sixth level. With a little training, it will be no problem for him to break through to the seventh level…”

“And in this Shinto world, there doesn’t seem to be any concept of a heavenly calamity…”

After all, gods follow the will of heaven and earth and govern the people on their behalf. How could heaven and earth bring down disasters?

‘When I pass the Great Immortal Thunder Tribulation, this world may serve as a safe haven…’

The most dangerous part of the tribulation of the past generations of perfect fusion cultivators, or the great heavenly tribulation, is that the inner demon tribulation almost comes at the same time as the heavenly thunder tribulation!
It doesn’t even give the cultivator a chance to breathe!
But if you transfer to the divine world when you are going through the tribulation, maybe you can eliminate the thunder tribulation?
At that time, you can first concentrate on going through the inner demon tribulation, then recover from your injuries and get familiar with the skyrocketing magic power.

When you are in good condition and then return to the Earthly Immortal Realm, even if there is still a heavenly tribulation, your chances of surviving it will increase by at least 50%!
It is more effective than any treasure or secret technique to survive the tribulation!

An idea vaguely emerged in Fang Xi’s mind, perhaps he could try it in the future.

At this moment, a cyan-gold Shinto talisman emerged from his sea of consciousness.

Its entire body was as green as jade, with golden divine writing on it, like a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix, writing: ‘Fourth-rank Black Cloud Mountain God’!
“Only fourth-rank, does the Heavenly Dao look down on me?”

There was a hint of smile on Fang Xi’s lips.

With his current strength at the early stage of Return to Void, perhaps only the Emperor can compare to him in this world.

Even the emperor’s divine power depends largely on his divine duties, and every move he makes must follow rules. If he offends heaven and earth, or is banished by heaven and loses his divine position, he will be worse than an ordinary mortal.

How can one compare to a cultivator whose great power belongs to himself?
“I started as a fourth-grade god because I was restrained… Otherwise, if my power was soaring, it might have directly risen to the first-grade, or even alarmed the heavens and directly granted me a heavenly title?”

“If I’m forced to ascend to become a god, that would be really troublesome.”

“Now that I have only reached the fourth-grade divine position, although there are still some troubles and it is easy for people to suspect that I have a great opportunity, the coveted eyes are limited to this world…”

Inside the cave of Black Cloud Mountain.

A golden light flashed, and Fang Xi’s figure emerged.

He snapped his fingers, and a golden light flashed, transforming into a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

In the mirror, there was a young god.

He has broad shoulders, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a hint of majesty.

He was wearing a golden-green crown and there was a green light on his head, emanating divine power.

“In addition, there is also divine magic…”

Fang Xi closed his eyes slightly, and some of the magic arts came to his mind vividly as if they were instincts, as if they were innate magical powers.

However, its main functions are to enlighten elves, drive wild beasts, burrow into the earth, create earthquakes, send sand and rocks flying, push mountains and fill the sea, etc. Its power is only average, far inferior to the talents of the incarnation of the Mountain Pearl.

Of course, if the other fourth-grade mountain gods knew that Fang Xi actually had the magical power of ‘pushing mountains and filling the sea’, they would probably not be so calm.

“The Mountain Pearl has an ‘Earth Spirit Body’. Apart from that, the most important innate magical power is the ‘Five Mountains True Form’. It can transform itself into a mountain range to suppress all enemies, or transform itself into a mountain giant… In this small world, I’m afraid there is no rival.”

“In addition, the Five Mountains True Form Imprint itself has first-rate defense…”

Fang Xi looked at his chest. Through the aquamarine crown, he could see five mountain symbols on his chest, shining brightly and looking mysterious.

“In addition to magical powers, how to promote lower-level mountain patrol envoys, or enlighten the ghost soldiers and generals, build a divine domain, and even gather incense and sacrifice to refine divine tools, is clear…”

“And does Shinto really have inherent weaknesses?”

Fang Xi felt the information attached to the fourth-grade divine position, and his expression became solemn.

The information carried by this high-level divine position is infinitely more than that of the previous low-level divine positions.

There is also some introduction about the disadvantages of Shinto.

“First, he is a pure god of incense. If he loses incense, his power may be greatly damaged, or even fall from the position of god… and if he leaves the scope of his duties, his strength will also be greatly reduced.”

“These are just ordinary things. The more important thing is the poison of the incense!”

Fang Xi had actually already felt something of it, and now after being infused by the divine throne, he understood the meaning of it even better.

“The people’s faith is the source of the gods’ power, but it is also a shackle, or even a poison… Faith will gradually shape the gods into the image in the minds of the people. What’s more terrifying is that the gods are even changed unconsciously, thinking that they want to be like this…”

“The incense god is like this. The other mountain gods and water gods may be better off because they can be nourished by the spiritual energy of a place, but there are also some influences… For example, the mountain gods like to eat raw meat and drink blood. The dragon king may not be very lustful, but because of folk legends that dragons are lustful, most dragon kings have countless wives and concubines, and they also like to take in many women…”

“Even if I don’t accept any incense or offerings, and only use my own divine duties to absorb the spiritual energy of mountains, rivers and water veins, it will not work.”

“The first is that due to the limited spiritual power of a place, it is often difficult to support a god. Even if there are famous mountains and rivers, it is difficult to promote it to the god level…”

“In other words, if you only stick to your true self, don’t want incense, and rely on the gods nourished by heaven and earth, there will also be risks, because the way of heaven is the most terrifying incense. Being nourished by the way of heaven, you will naturally be eroded by the way of heaven. This is called ‘Taoism’… In simple terms, if you act as a mountain god for a long time, your thoughts may become dull, and you may not like to go out or move. In the end, you may even really turn into a stone…”

“‘Losing myself’ and ‘being transformed into Taoism’ are the things that gods fear the most… Some natural gods are more likely to be ‘transformed into Taoism’. In order to avoid being ‘transformed into Taoism’, they will even deliberately accept some offerings from the human world to form a hedge…”
