176: The mountain god's decree resonates throughout all things.
His gaze crossed mountains and rivers, pierced through dense forests... The Demon Alliance was already deep within the great mountains, not far from the Demon Spirit Realm.
In the past, even if Xu Qing was the Taihang Mountain God and controlled the mountain god seal, he would have been unable to fully perceive the Power Of Will surrounding Taihang.
However, the situation was completely different now.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, a cluster of Golden Divine Fire was burning fiercely. It not only purified the power of Incense Offerings but also made Xu Qing's Divine Soul unprecedentedly clear and sharp.
The mountain god seal shone brightly; the mountain and river patterns flowing across its surface seemed to come alive, and the divine light it emitted merged with his Primordial Spirit.
Xu Qing's perception rapidly expanded, extending into every meridian and every wisp of wind within the Taihang Territory.
"The Supreme Source Flow is indeed miraculous."
A whisper sounded in the Void Realm.
Illusory scenes flickered, and the situation in the villages outside the mountains appeared before his eyes.
Xu Qing did not Cultivate the Divine Dao, but since Incense Offerings were useful for increasing bloodline points, he had to pay attention to them.
And so.
The Mount God's mind stirred slightly, and his invisible will spread toward the Taihang Mountain Range... the Taihang Mountains.
High in the sky.
Fierce gale winds howled, and clouds churned.
A massive Golden Giant Eagle was soaring through the sea of clouds on patrol.
Its pair of sharp eagle eyes constantly watched the forests below; no disturbance could escape its notice.
It was the Great Demon Golden Tripod, entrusted with the important task of patrolling the airspace by Xu Qing.
Since receiving the Spirit Pills and Miraculous Medicines bestowed by Xu Qing, and coupled with its diligent Cultivation, Golden Tripod's cultivation progressed daily, and its Cultivation Level had already surpassed the three-thousand-year mark.
It could be called a Great Demon.
Whoosh—
Suddenly.
The high-altitude gale winds, which were originally irregular and whistled arbitrarily, underwent a bizarre change at this moment.
The sound of the wind was no longer a simple howl; instead, it became rhythmic and melodic, as if someone were whispering in his ear, or as if Heaven and Earth were speaking.
The chaotic sounds of the wind slowly combined near Golden Tripod's ear, finally transforming into a cold and majestic voice.
"On the edge of Taihang, there are Human Race Cultivators invading. Kill them."
Golden Tripod's enormous body trembled violently, its wings abruptly halted in mid-air, stirring up a burst of violent airflow.
A hint of astonishment flashed in its eyes, followed immediately by deep reverence and fanaticism.
This was the King's voice!
This was not a secret sound transmission, but the manipulation of the wind of Heaven and Earth, using the wind as a messenger to convey a Divine Oracle!
Such a method was simply unheard of. Just what level had the King's cultivation reached?
Golden Tripod dared not show the slightest neglect. It violently flapped its wings, letting out a cry that could pierce metal and crack stone.
"Screech—!"
Its previously circling figure cut a golden arc in the air, carrying fierce killing intent, transforming into a golden meteor that plunged straight toward the edge of the Taihang Mountains.
At the same moment, similar scenes were unfolding everywhere within the Taihang Mountain Territory.
Beside a winding stream, a massive Black Bear was lying by the riverbank.
Just as it lowered its head to drink, the originally crystal-clear, shimmering river water suddenly surged.
The ripples did not flow downstream but, contrary to common sense, gathered and swelled in the center of the river.
The Black Bear widened its eyes in surprise, only to see the river water instantly transform into a lifelike scene.
In the scene, several Human Race Cultivators, dressed in Daoist Robes and sporting menacing faces, were swaggering into the mountain forest.
Above the scene, water ripples undulated, condensing into a simple word:
"Kill!"
The Black Bear trembled all over; this was the reverence for the Taihang Mountain God originating from the depths of its Soul.
It suddenly stood upright, let out a roar, and ignoring the water droplets around its mouth, it took heavy strides, smashing through bushes and rocks along the way, and bolted toward the direction shown in the scene.
In another patch of forest.
A Centipede Spirit Monster, entirely crimson and tens of meters long, was moving through the soil.
Just then.
The ground shifted, and the Centipede Spirit Monster stopped abruptly.
It drilled out of the ground and saw the sand and soil in front of it flowing with a rustling sound.
As if drawn by a hand, a line of small characters composed of mud and sand appeared.
"At Liujing Village in the southwest, kill all those with Cultivation Level."
A fierce light flashed in the dense compound eyes of the Centipede Spirit Monster.
After the ferocious Essence Spirit bowed, it didn't hesitate at all. It twisted its body, turned into a streak of red light, and rushed away.
Wind transmits sound, water condenses into images, earth manifests characters.
Mount God's Decree, The Voice of All Things.
At this moment, the entire great mountain seemed to come alive.
The Great Demons, who were originally scattered everywhere patrolling and Cultivating, received the Mount God's command at the same time.
Normally, Essence Spirits in the mountains, especially those with some Cultivation Level, would not easily descend the mountain.
Intelligent demons all knew that outside the mountains was the territory of Dagan.
Demons who went down the mountain would, without exception, be killed by the Cultivators of the Demon Slaying Division.
To the Human Race, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains was a dangerous place.
But to the demons on the periphery of the great mountains, Dagan was more like a Land Of Death.
Therefore, almost no Demon Cultivator dared to easily leave the mountain and act recklessly.
But now.
In the hearts of the many Great Demons in the mountains, the Mount God's Decree was the supreme command.
No explanation was needed, no hesitation was allowed.
Streaks of savage and tyrannical Demonic Qi shot up into the sky through the forests.
Although the directions were different, the targets were surprisingly consistent.
All were heading toward the outside of the mountains!
