105: The Seal of Taihang! The Authority of the Mountain God! A Flower Blooms in a Single Thought!
When an abnormal movement occurred in the Taihang Mountains, Xu Qing naturally discovered it immediately.
A strange light flashed in his vertical pupils as the green snake transformed into a streak of green light and charged toward the Taihang Mountains.
At this moment, the entire Taihang Mountains were shrouded in golden light, looking like a golden divine mountain.
Xu Qing appeared at the mountain peak. Before him was a massive fissure, within which golden light shone brilliantly, dyeing his green scales gold.
Bai Ling and the others also rushed back, staring at the fissure with uncertainty and alarm.
“Husband, what is the situation?” Liu Mei asked.
Xu Qing shook his head slightly; he had a guess in his heart, but he wasn't quite sure yet.
“The aura is pure, this seems to be...” A hint of shock flashed through Bai Ling's beautiful eyes.
“A Mountain God.”
Xu Qing spoke slowly. A profound and mysterious aura emanated from within the Taihang Mountains, and he sensed a trace of recognition from the aura leaking out.
“Mountain God...”
The Jingyue River God cried out in surprise, “A Mountain God naturally nurtured by the great mountain?”
All things have spirits. Unlike the Jingyue River God, who took up the role halfway, some wild regions naturally nurture their own 'spirits'!
This type of deity is purer, and their power is more mysterious.
However, the time required for their gestation and growth is very long.
The Taihang Mountains previously had a Mountain God, but its Divine Soul was destroyed by the Cultivators of Great Gan, and it had since vanished.
The Mountain God who protected the mountain's people had disappeared until Xu Qing appeared.
Within this region, the living beings' worship of Xu Qing had reached a terrifying level.
Over time, many creatures had already come to regard him as the new Mountain God.
And now, Xu Qing had condensed his Demon Core and truly come into his own. His aura resonated with heaven and earth, causing this great mountain to completely recognize him.
It was willing to acknowledge Xu Qing's status as its guardian!
“I'm going down to take a look,” Xu Qing said in a heavy voice.
“I’ll go down with you,” Bai Ling said with some worry.
“Never mind.” Xu Qing shook his head. “It will reject any existence it does not recognize.”
Telling his wives to wait patiently, the green snake dove into the fissure on the mountain.
Golden light was flowing, like a golden grand dao.
Xu Qing followed the fissure all the way down, gradually going deep into the interior of the Taihang Mountains, where the mysterious aura became increasingly intense.
A moment later.
Below, a stone chamber about thirty feet wide appeared.
It was empty, except for an illusory golden seal floating in the center of the chamber.
As if sensing Xu Qing's arrival, the golden seal turned into a beam of light and shot toward the space between Xu Qing's brows.
In an instant.
An ethereal voice echoed in Xu Qing's ears.
“Successor... I hope you treat the mountain well... protect it properly...”
The voice quickly faded, and that golden seal appeared within Xu Qing's mind.
The seal was square, with the mountains, rivers, and all things carved on its four sides. On the bottom, two words were inscribed in ancient characters.
Xu Qing did not recognize this script, yet he knew its meaning.
Taihang.
This was the Taihang Mountain mountain god seal!
Only by wielding this seal could one truly be called the master of the mountain!
As mysterious ripples descended, Xu Qing felt he had gained some new abilities; this great mountain would become his true home turf.
When fighting within the Taihang Mountains, everything in the mountains would assist Xu Qing.
Xu Qing glanced at the stone chamber, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.
When Xu Qing stepped out of the fissure,
“Rumble.”
The mountain trembled, and the fissure quickly disappeared.
“Husband.”
Bai Ling and the others looked at Xu Qing, suddenly feeling that their husband was a bit different, though they couldn't say exactly how.
If they had to put it into words, they felt that Xu Qing had gained a kind of... divinity.
“It's nothing, I just picked up something,” Xu Qing smiled and said, “I'll show you something fun.”
With that, he led his three wives to the mountain peak.
The green snake coiled on the high mountain and whispered to himself, “Come.”
The next moment.
The Spiritual Qi throughout the entire mountain range began to move. Streams of Spiritual Qi converged into a river, surging toward the Taihang Mountains.
In just a few moments, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Taihang Mountains increased by several levels!
The Great Spirit Gathering Array Xu Qing had set up also had the effect of gathering Spiritual Qi, but it was a completely different situation from what was happening now.
Gathering Spiritual Qi with an array was a forced aggregation by external force.
But now, the Spiritual Qi of the mountain valleys was responding to the Mountain God's command, actively coming to the vicinity of the Taihang Mountains!
The difference between the two was immense. The Spiritual Qi Xu Qing commanded to gather covered the entire mountain range, and the effect was many times stronger than a Spirit Gathering Array.
Xu Qing used a wind Spell to casually bring over a plant seed and dropped it onto the ground at the mountain peak.
With a single thought,
The seed took root, and a small sapling immediately appeared before their eyes.
“Grow.”
The sapling began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly turning into a lush and leafy peach tree.
“Bloom.”
Clusters of pinkish-white peach blossoms bloomed, covering the green with pink and white. The entire tree was in full bloom, and a refreshing floral fragrance spread out.
Xu Qing laughed heartily. His laughter swept out from the mountain peak, traveling to every corner of the mountain with the cool breeze.
Wherever the laughter passed, withered trees regained their vitality, and flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields.
The creatures in the mountains were first startled, but hearing the laughter in their ears, they immediately understood it was the Mountain God's handiwork.
They looked back at the Taihang Mountains, the awe in their eyes almost palpable.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ling and the others were stunned, staring at the scenery before them with mouths agape.
Flowers blooming with a single thought!
What kind of ability was this!
Their beautiful eyes were full of shock as they all turned to look at Xu Qing.
“This is the authority of the Mountain God, but it shouldn't be abused. For now, I'm just giving you some eye candy.”
Xu Qing explained with a smile, in an excellent mood.
“Only an existence that has truly gained recognition can possess this kind of ability. Before, I could only use Spells to forcibly manipulate the water of the Jingyue River.”
The Jingyue River God's large eyes were full of admiration as she whispered an explanation to Liu Mei.
Afterward, at the strong request of the Jingyue River God, Xu Qing took them to experience the feeling of flying.
They played for a good while before they were finally satisfied.
Xu Qing felt a trace of fatigue; he had just condensed his Demon Core, and the consumption required to fly for a long time was still too great.
If not for his powerful Dharmic power, which was much more robust than that of an ordinary demon Cultivator, he probably wouldn't have lasted long.
Bai Ling, Liu Mei, and the Jingyue River God went down the mountain together to play, while Xu Qing took out his Pill Furnace and began refining Spirit Pills.
He planned to refine a batch of effective peiyuan pills to use for increasing the Cultivation Level and strength of his wives down the mountain.
The strength of some female demons had actually already reached the standard for a second child.
However, Xu Qing felt it wasn't safe enough and planned to raise their Cultivation Level a bit more before considering discussing 'techniques' with them later.
The mountain was filled with celebration as the Mountain God displayed his divine abilities, and the demon Cultivators were excited and joyful.
But in Yunzhou, outside the mountains, things had fallen into complete chaos.
