Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 66 - 62 Fufeng Mountain God!

Divine Position: Fufeng Mountain God

Rank: Seventh Grade

Magical Position: In charge of the prosperity and decline of Fufeng Mountain, bridging the Yin and Yang of Fufeng Mountain

...

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged on Nameless Hill, in the palm of his hand the Divine Dao Seal was completely refined, sinking and floating into the sea of consciousness.

At the core of the seal, the Divine Texts were mysterious.

Around the perimeter, there were also complex Divine Texts encircling, vaguely dividing into two camps, markedly distinct.

"Fufeng Mountain God!"

"In charge of the prosperity and decline of Fufeng Mountain."

"Bridging the Yin and Yang of Fufeng Mountain."

Upon contact with Lu Qingfeng's thoughts, he instantly knew—

The core of the seal represented the Divine Position and Divine Name. The Divine Dao Seal he acquired from the Evil Ghost General signified the position of the Fufeng Mountain God over six hundred miles. After refining, he could be in charge of the prosperity and decline, as well as the Yin and Yang, of six hundred miles of Fufeng Mountain.

The Divine Texts around the perimeter represented these two Magical Positions.

"The position of Fufeng Mountain God was originally held by a naturally born Divine being eight thousand years ago, later legitimized by the Immortal Sect's Red Glow Sword Sect with a talismanic decree, and has been in charge of six hundred miles of Fufeng Mountain for a full five thousand years. Three thousand years ago, the Demon Dao rose rampantly, demons colluded, destroying the Red Glow Sword Sect, and along with it, many Divines endorsed by the Sword Sect also perished in that battle."

"Most Dharma Seals dissipated along with the destruction of the Red Glow Sword Sect and the fall of the Divines. Fufeng Mountain, as a natural Divine being, had an inherent Dharma Seal, which was preserved. It fell into the hands of a mere Evil Ghost, who lacked the power to refine it and could only utilize a very small part of the seal's might to maintain an undying form."

The circumstances surrounding Lu Qingfeng's refining of the Fufeng Mountain God Seal swiftly became clear.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

The Spiritual Energy of Fufeng Mountain was mediocre to begin with, and the natural Divine being wasn't adept at governance, even three thousand years ago it was of little significance. After that, the great war between Immortal Sects and demons nearly upended Fufeng Mountain and the ten-thousand-mile border region surrounding it.

Living beings suffered terribly, and the Spiritual Energy dwindled, having yet to recover.

"Such is to be expected."

Lu Qingfeng silently nodded in agreement.

The position of a Seventh Grade Mountain God may not seem like much to the Immortal Sects, but it's extremely precious to cultivators nearing the end of their Life Span. Once refined, even if one reaches the end of their natural life, they can discard their mortal body and unite their Divine Soul with the Divine Seal.

From then on, they would be a Divine with an endless Life Span.

Although their power would stop at the Seventh Grade Divine Dao and be limited to a certain domain, unless a great calamity falls, they would exist as undying beings. If they encounter the right opportunities and establish merit, they might even elevate their Divine Position.

A Seventh Grade Divine Position is enough to cause a scramble among cultivators!

"Qingyu and I have poor Root Bones and can't enter the Primordial realms for Cultivation. If we hit a bottleneck and can't Breakthrough Realm before our Life Spans end, the Divine Dao might be a way out!"

Lu Qingfeng pursued the path of the Immortal Dao. To him, the Divine Dao came with too many constraints and wasn't worth coveting.

In fact, any Immortal Dao cultivator with a little ambition wouldn't willingly bind themselves to a Divine Position.

It's one thing to temporarily hold a Divine Position, receive the karma of heaven and earth, and bask in the fortunes of the world, thereby accelerating one's cultivation. But that is just overseeing the seal, not fusing with it, as to avoid being trapped by it.

Merely overseeing the Dharma Seal, when one's Cultivation Breakthrough Realm is reached, or when one travels the world, they can hang up the Divine Dao Seal high and come and go freely, as carefree as the immortals.

This is the path that Lu Qingfeng is currently taking.

He has merely refined the Fufeng Mountain God Seal, stored it in his sea of consciousness, but has not fused his Divine Soul with it.

The previous Evil Ghost General, in his ignorance, took the path of fusion. Once completed, he became a Wild God, with no hope of turning back.

With a slight closure of his eyes,

Lu Qingfeng sensed Fufeng Mountain through the seal.

Stretching six hundred miles, Fufeng Mountain where Lu Qingfeng currently resided was merely an inconspicuous branch.

Mountains like this, Fufeng Mountain had dozens.

None taller than a hundred zhang, none extending beyond ten miles.

Only three main branches stood several hundred zhang tall and extended for dozens of miles.

They are called: Cloud Ganoderma Peak, Wangxian Peak, and Jade Girl Peak.

Fufeng Mountain's main peak stands eight hundred zhang tall, its lofty heights shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling the abode of immortals.

"A mere Seventh Grade Mountain God is capable of governing a six-hundred-li territory. Not only commanding the rise and fall and connecting yin and yang, if endowed with strength, all demon beasts and spiritual medicines and mineral deposits within the mountain range would dare not be taken without the Mountain God's permission."

Certainly.

Mountain Gods vary in strength and whether they have backing.

An ordinary Seventh Grade Mountain God has power that barely rivals that of the Spirit Void Realm in the Immortal Dao. A Core Formation True Man could make them bow their head, and even a disciple from a major Immortal Sect, merely at the Spirit Void Realm, should be treated with extra respect. Even Loose Cultivators at the Spirit Void Realm could afford to ignore their divine majesty.

But if the Seventh Grade Mountain God is formidable in themselves, they need not fear those of the same level.

If backed by a giant of the Divine Dao or a major Immortal Sect, they can reign supreme like an overlord of the mountains, disregarding all petty beings.

"The hierarchy of the Divine mostly depends on the Divine Position, the Magic Position, and the Incense Fire."

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, his fingertips moving slightly, a breath that could neither be named nor seen twining around them. Wavering tentatively, it seemed to want to burrow directly into Lu Qingfeng's physical body.

With a thought, the breath disappeared from the fingertips, merging into the Dharma Seal within his sea of consciousness.

Cycling around, it transformed into a faint Divine Power that couldn't even illuminate a single Divine Power star.

"A Seventh Grade God can contain up to nine hundred and ninety-nine stars of Divine Power. The source of Divine Power is Incense Fire."

"Incense Fire is mysterious and gathers from the thoughts of devotees."

"Gods amassing Incense Fire can refine it into Divine Power, unleashing their divine might. Immortal Sects amass Incense Fire to refine it into Incense money, which is excellent for nurturing Ghostly Soldiers and Daoist Dao Soldiers. Moreover, it's also useful for Alchemy and crafting, with endless wonderful applications."

"Yet Incense Fire also has its poison. Once tainted, one becomes entangled in the thoughts and desires of countless beings, wrapped in an endless thread of Karma, making it hard to transcend. The restraints on a divine being are many, and Incense Fire is the chief troublemaker. Too deeply entangled, and apart from Reincarnation, there's no other way out."

Therefore, even Immortal Sect cultivators holding Divine Positions must be careful and cautious, not to be tempted by Incense Fire or impulsively refine it to increase their power.

Otherwise, there might be short-term gains, but over time, it becomes hard to reverse the accumulation of impurities in True Yuan Power, not to mention enduring the attack of countless thoughts. When the Breakthrough Realm comes, Heart Demons descend, and it ultimately leads to going mad from cultivation, resulting in death and the dissipation of the soul.

The more Lu Qingfeng comprehended the Dharma Seal, the more he understood about the Divine Dao.

Profoundly aware!

That gods are born with this knowledge comes from here.

"Incense Fire!"

"Karma!"

Lu Qingfeng's heart stirred, and his eyes suddenly shone with brightness.

Ordinary cultivators cannot refine Incense Fire because it's full of mixed desires, brimming with the thoughts of ten thousand spirits. What if these thoughts could be refined into nothingness? Wouldn't that avoid the side effects and lead to rapid advancement in cultivation?!

And within the Yellow Court Scripture, there lies the trait of Karma Removal.

"Could the mixed forces in Incense Fire be considered Karma?"

"Let's give it a try!"

With this thought, Lu Qingfeng immediately sprang into action.

There are two sources of Incense Fire for a Mountain God.

One is to spread the name of the Mountain God to the mortal world. When people worship, Incense Fire follows. This method accumulates Incense Fire very quickly. Human thoughts are the most complex; although the Incense Fire is mixed, it is also the most robust.

With over ten thousand devotees, a Seventh Grade Mountain God need not worry about a lack of Divine Power.

Previously, the Evil Ghost General, though confused, still understood the importance of Incense Fire. Using tactics to frighten the mountain folk, it's a pity that the method was crude and yielded little Incense Fire.

"There are thousands of mountain dwellers within the territory of Fufeng Mountain. If they could be collected, Incense Fire would not be lacking. However, spreading faith in this way is too ostentatious. It might go unnoticed for a year or two, but after ten or a hundred years, it would eventually be discovered by Immortal Sect cultivators. If they are reasonable cultivators, they will weigh good and evil before taking action. If they are impetuous cultivators, they won't care about all that and will directly strike down what they consider to be a Wild God or Evil God."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

This approach was not suitable.

The other method suited him better.

"The Mountain God's Magical Position is to manage the prosperity and decline of a mountain, to communicate yin and yang of the mountain. Exercising the Magic Position naturally brings celestial rewards and gratitude from ten thousand spirits, bringing forth abundant Incense Fire!"

Accumulating Incense Fire in this way is also a service to heaven and earth.

If the Immortal Sect wanted to take action, they would have to weigh their options. More often than not, they opt to recruit rather than harm their own fortune.
