Cultivation Helped by Ancestors-Chapter 245 - 212: Those Who Gain the Way Have Many Helpers (4K)
In the depths of the Bai Shui Divine Department, witnessing this scene, Bai Nu’s face was surprised. He did have some disagreements with the Fengyang County City God Chen Qingyuan, and they hadn’t been getting along well these years. Yet, unexpectedly, Chen Qingyuan stood up.
Feeling strange inside, he still raised his voice.
"I, the monarch, thank all my Dao brothers for lending a hand. Please allow me to recover slightly, and then I will personally thank each of you!"
The Shanyang County City God Rao Qing heard this and laughed: "No need for formalities!"
"Niece Bai, this is..."
Meanwhile, in the separate courtyard, the Canal Dragon Monarch showed a look of surprise, his gaze sweeping over many City Gods.
The appearance of numerous City Gods was clearly unexpected for him.
Bai Liying was also puzzled and said, "Uncle Jin, I haven’t heard about Father inviting these City Gods, and Father shouldn’t know these City Gods either?"
Feeling strange, but Bai Liying’s delicate appearance showed joy, with the presence and help of many City Gods, Bai Nu finally overcame this obstacle.
Seeing the situation, the Canal Dragon Monarch’s eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "With these City Gods intervening, I suppose there’s no need for me to step in!"
He laughed heartily.
At this moment, on the edge of Bai Shui, a few figures gazed from afar at the deep dark clouds overhead, in front of an abandoned River-Suppressing Stele.
Several figures were surrounded by a mysterious aura, especially the leader dressed as a middle-aged merchant, whose eyes locked onto the depths of the clouds, displaying a hint of hesitation.
Behind him were several clad in black robes, with stiff faces, gazing at the skies above, their faces appeared bizarre, almost devoid of any emotion.
"What a shame!"
This Daoist showed a look of regret, a Flood Dragon was a treasure to him, its essence blood and pearl could be refined into medicine, nurturing his physique and bloodline, and would aid his divine techniques.
His Daoist technique was quite special, also following the path of the Dragon Transformation, consuming a Flood Dragon’s essence blood would greatly benefit his Dragon Body transformation.
Clearly, he had no opportunity now.
After some consideration, this figure let go of his thoughts, his gaze turning towards the mountain-surrounded area within Fengyang County.
His journey into Fengyang County was for the rumored Double Phoenix Feng Shui Formation existing since ancient times, heading here to make some arrangements for a plan set for several years later.
However, after entering this place, he unexpectedly gained some rewards.
He discovered traces of a Dragon Vein appearing inside and outside of Fengyang County, a conclusion he was quite certain about.
The high-tier cultivators of the Black Dragon Sect were naturally skilled in Gold Division and Acupoint Determination, especially in searching for Dragon Veins.
This discovery made this Elder of Black Dragon Sect very excited.
Compared to a Flood Dragon, this Elder of Black Dragon Sect preferred not to invite complications, thus letting the opportunity slip away.
...
Bai Shui Dragon Palace
After Bai Nu had used a few spare Spiritual Pills to restore part of his magical power, he walked out of Bai Shui Dragon Palace to personally welcome the many City Gods who had come to aid into the palace.
He also summoned the Clam Maiden, Fish Lady to host an elaborate banquet to entertain these gods from all directions.
Simultaneously, he seized the chance to ask the question that had been in his heart for a long time.
He admitted having little connection with the City God King Wei Fang yet didn’t understand why this king had called upon Southern deities to help.
On hearing this, Rao Qing, the principal City God of Shanyang County on the right, couldn’t help but smile.
Among the City Gods present, his status was clearly higher, not only was his Dao practice the strongest, but he also held the position of the Capital City God of Southern Provinces, slightly above the remaining City Gods.
So, he laughed: "Coming to help Brother Bai is partly because Brother Bai resolved the drought affecting the common people in the Southern Provinces years ago, the City God King cannot allow a True God such as Brother Bai to suffer harm from demons and fiends!"
"Shameful!"
Bai Nu was surprised at the words, but he saw Rao Qing seemed to have more to say.
There are so many gods with high merit to the people all across the realm, yet nothing suggests this City God King intervened before, this sounds more like a formal excuse.
Sure enough, Rao Qing continued.
"Moreover, Brother Bai might not be aware, your son-in-law Zhang Shidu recently enjoys significant fame in Haojing City, the City God King received benefits from Zhang Shidu recently, this time it was upon Zhang Shidu’s request that we, neighboring gods, came to assist Brother Bai!"
Hearing this, Bai Nu realized the truth.
At the first position on the left side, the Canal Dragon Monarch’s understanding immediately clicked.
Bai Nu laughed heartily, raising his wine cup high, proclaimed: "Regardless, I must thank all of you for your helping hand, I’ll drink this cup first as a gesture of respect!"
Upon hearing, the various City Gods showed a hint of a smile.
They all raised their cups, saying they wouldn’t dare.
The gods didn’t dare to consider themselves benefactors, the future is uncertain, and perhaps they might need Bai Shui Dragon Monarch’s help too.
For a moment, the depths of Bai Shui Dragon Palace were filled with joy among both hosts and guests.
...
Phoenix Nest Mountain, the Phoenix Spirit also received Bai Shui Dragon Monarch’s invitation but it was gently declined by the Feng Ling Mountain God.
Being naturally averse to water banquets, Phoenix Spirit didn’t attend.
Lady Honghua’s presence at this time was beside the Feng Ling Mountain God stepping onto Phoenix Nest Mountain, having been closely associated with the Mountain God lately; the two goddesses’ connection with Zhang Jian strengthened their relationship subtly.
On Phoenix Nest Mountain, the place was evergreen throughout the year, after the revival of Feng Ling Mountain God, vitality filled the surroundings.
The two goddesses were discussing the Bai Shui Dragon Monarch’s tribulation crossing.
Both guessed this issue was most likely related to Zhang Jian far away in Haojing.
After all, Bai Shui Dragon Monarch and the City God King were figures of the water and land, respectively, they should not have any interaction.
Lady Honghua couldn’t help but sigh.
"Master is thriving in Haojing City, even a Super Grade Prince like the City God King has such respect for him, it’s a pity my growth rate is probably too slow to assist Master!"
Lady Honghua’s expression revealed a touch of helplessness.
Phoenix Spirit responded with her phoenix eyes landing on her, smiling brightly.
"Sister Honghua, you don’t have to undervalue yourself; your Kitchen God Divine Position holds great potential, it’s said among the gods that the Kitchen God Divine Position might be the most promising new divine position in the Fire God lineage!"
Lady Honghua shook her head upon hearing this.
"Precisely for that reason, I worry about failing Master’s expectations. If the Kitchen God Divine Position falls on any Fire God, it might achieve greater effects, but I have no confidence I can fully harness its potential!"
Though saying this, Lady Honghua wasn’t feeling inferior, just concerned about not doing her best.
Phoenix Spirit laughed.
"Honghua, your fire attribute talent is excellent, it might help if you spend some time cultivating within Mingguang City in Bright Realm’s Little Antarctic?"
"Mingguang City?"
Hearing the name of the peculiar city, Lady Honghua appeared slightly stunned.
Phoenix Spirit noticed she seemed unaware of its background; thus, explained: "It’s an establishment in Beichu Realm, set by an accomplished deity of the Fire God lineage, periodically inviting exceptional Fire Gods to cultivate therein, providing orthodox Fire God inheritance!"
Lady Honghua expressed surprise upon hearing.
"Didn’t expect our Divine Dao lineages to have sects too?"
"Gods and humans alike, where there are gods, there will be Jianghu; sects and factions come naturally!"
Phoenix Spirit smiled.
"However, within our Divine Dao lineages, order is superior, considering the suppression from the Sheji Divine Dao, gods somewhat adhere to the rules unless inclined to become an Evil God!"
Lady Honghua contemplated briefly, shaking her head she said.
"Never mind going to Mingguang City, Master mentioned that within the Tongshan Daoist Lineage, there also exists godly inheritance, and he could find a way to grant me an Outer Disciple slot and join this lineage to see if I can obtain orthodox Fire God inheritance!"
Her eyes reflected a smile.
Phoenix Spirit slightly surprised, showed a hint of envy.
"Being part of the Tongshan Daoist Lineage is, of course, better, its influence is vast, surpassing even Mingguang City!"
Lady Honghua nodded upon hearing.
At this moment, both goddesses’ steps on the mountain halted simultaneously.
At this instant, they received messages from Zhang Jian.
Someone approached the vicinity of Zhang Family Dragon Vein.
"Who is this person? I didn’t feel anything at all?"
Phoenix Spirit’s face turned solemn, her eyes showed surprise.
