Shen Yuan was completely unaware of the butterfly effect caused by his sword.
He expended a wisp of the Sun's True Flame to unleash the unity of sword and energy, and that sword move was far beyond the limits of what Shen Yuan could control.
Even if the Turbid Water Dragon that controlled the 300-li water area was here, Shen Yuan was confident that he could kill it with one sword, and let the Great Sun True Flame evaporate all the 300-li water area.
Of course, striking out with this sword that far exceeds the limit does not come without any cost.
Shen Yuan only felt that his magic power, which was several times greater than that of his peers, was almost drained by that sword. The false spiritual power that he used to combine sword and qi was burned by the true flame of the sun, and a large amount of his spiritual power was directly evaporated.
If the entire barren mountain had not been turned into scorched earth by the sword and no one dared to approach, I am afraid that a few random monsters would be enough to take down the weak Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan quickly took out an exquisite jade bottle from his storage ring. After opening it, a large amount of pure spiritual energy continued to flow out.
This was the spiritual liquid from the natural spiritual pool that Shen Yuan had prepared before he left. He had intended it to be used in exchange for treasures, but he never expected it to come in handy here.
Without any hesitation, Shen Yuan poured a drop of spiritual liquid into his mouth, and the "Zixia Qi Refining Method" continuously transported spiritual energy to fill his dried up Dantian.
His magic power recovered quickly under the rich spiritual energy. As soon as the feeling of weakness subsided, Shen Yuan stood up and left in a hurry.
The combination of sword and qi and the changing celestial phenomena of the Huiming Sword were so sensational that when the sword was just slashed, the demons from all sides might have had some concerns.
But as time goes on, someone will definitely cast their eyes on this place, so Shen Yuan must leave this morning.
Holding up Bai Xue, who had a worried look on her face, Shen Yuan rode the breeze and floated away, leaving behind only the barren mountain that had turned into scorched earth under the scorching sun.
Just half an hour after Shen Yuan left, a huge golden eagle hovered above the barren mountain, and the aura around it had apparently reached the level of Qi training.
The hawk's eyes stared at the surrounding area, as if trying to find some clues.
However, the range affected by the sword was too large. All the aura was dispersed by the bright sun. Even the golden eagle could not find any trace.
After the golden eagle arrived, white deer, gray wolves, leopards, giant snakes and other powerful animals continued to come here, looking at the scorched earth with shock in their eyes.
The trees within a radius of dozens of miles turned into charcoal, and the rocks on the ground had been melted, leaving long rivers of magma crisscrossing on it. In this dead and silent place, the majestic and sacred light still remained, which made the monsters want to worship it.
They could clearly feel that the sword was not aimed at this barren mountain, and the scorched earth was caused by only the remnants of the sword.
Otherwise, what would be swallowed by the scorching heat would definitely not just be the barren mountain in front of us.
As the mountain gods of the Yunfu Mountains, they felt a deep and unspeakable fear.
If such a disaster befell them, they would not be able to resist even if they were promoted to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Among the mountain gods, a white deer couldn't help but speak:
"This spiritual energy tide has only returned for half a year. What kind of person could cause such a strange phenomenon?"
This sentence seemed to throw out a clue, and the mountain gods began to discuss.
"Is he fighting with someone? Could it be that there are powerful people hidden in the Yunfu Mountains that we don't know about?"
"Hush! Don't forget that several mountain gods died in succession a few days ago. It might be this great man who did it."
"Although the demon cultivator who killed the Black Wind Mountain God a few days ago was ruthless, judging from the traces at the scene, he acted timidly and was not an extraordinary strong man at all. How could he be related to this incident?"
“I think you should refrain from making assumptions.
The strength displayed by this person is far from being his match, even the mountain master holding the divine edict is far from being his opponent. If you really cause trouble because of your offensive words, no one will help you out."
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you do!"
The golden eagle stared coldly at the mountain gods who were discussing below. Even though several of them had already entered the Qi training realm, he still maintained his arrogant attitude and disdained to communicate with the mountain gods below.
At this moment, the golden statue heard something, and its expression moved slightly, and it immediately lowered its proud head towards the center of the Yunfu Mountains.
After a few breaths, the golden eagle's high-pitched voice spread throughout the scorched earth.
"The mountain master has ordered a thorough investigation of the entire Yunfu Mountains to find clues to the source of the chaos."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the mountain gods suddenly looked angry.
"Let's not talk about whether we can find any traces of them. How can we offend such a being casually?"
"No matter who of you goes, I'm not going!"
The White Deer Mountain God was even more outspoken:
"This is sending us to our deaths!"
As one of the great Qi-cultivating monsters in the Yunfu Mountains, the White Deer Mountain God and his tribe have a very important say in the entire Yunfu Mountains. There are also ancestors in his tribe who are sleeping in the blessed cave in the center of the mountains.
His identity has little subordinate relationship with the Lord of Yunfu Mountain. Even if he puts aside the position of mountain god, he is also a first-class demon, so he will not be too concerned.
With the White Deer Mountain God taking the lead, other demon tribes naturally responded to the call.
"We will never agree to die!"
The golden eagle's eyes flashed with ferocity and he was about to threaten, but at this moment a low voice sounded among the mountains.
“The mountains told me that the true realm of the person who made the move was not very high, and that sword strike required the use of some special treasures.
Otherwise, how stupid do you think I am to take the initiative to provoke such a strong man? "As soon as these words came out, all the mountain gods' eyes flickered.
Relying on one's own strength to strike out that sword and using treasures to reach such a level are completely different concepts.
In particular, such treasures are often consumables. After using them, one's own strength and state will be greatly weakened, and the state of the person who uses them will inevitably no longer be at its peak.
And this is exactly the reason why the Lord of Yunfu Mountain has the confidence to let them look for clues.
The mountain gods remained silent. The Lord of Yunfu Mountain said in a cold voice:
"As long as we find clues about the person who did this, I will grant him the true position of mountain god with a divine decree."
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar.
Most of the mountain gods had their eyes wide open, their expressions filled with greed.
Although they are now called mountain gods, they are actually just the holders of the mountain god seal bestowed by the Lord of Yunfu Mountain, and they do not have the real status of mountain gods at all.
The Lord of Yunfu Mountain only needs a thought to take away their mountain god seals, deprive them of the power of their incense and cast them down to the mortal world.
Except for a few great demons in the Qi training realm, the lives and fortunes of other mountain gods are in the hands of the Master of Yunfu Mountain.
This is also the reason why the thirty-two mountain gods of the Yunfu Mountains have been passed down for thousands of years but have never changed, because the mountain god's seal is the true form, and they are just the holders.
However, it is another concept altogether if the Lord of Yunfu Mountain bestows the rightful position of the mountain god with a divine edict.
The mountain god's position cannot be taken away at will. He will be worshipped and offered sacrifices forever. Even the master of Yunfu Mountain needs to protect the mountain god who holds the position, which is almost equivalent to a local lord in a human dynasty.
This was a completely irresistible force for those mountain gods at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm.
"I will follow the mountain master's order!"
"I will follow the mountain master's order!"
A large number of mountain gods scattered like birds and beasts and disappeared among the mountains.
They had to go back immediately and send a group of monsters to look for any clues about the person who did it.
As for the war with the human race in Yunzhou? The demon race that was killed in the war?
The Yunfu mountains stretch for thousands of miles and cover a vast area, occupying the largest high-quality spiritual vein in Yunzhou, and the thing that is most abundant is the demon clan.
It only takes a month or so for a new batch of little monsters to reappear. As for the war, if we lose it, we lose it. As long as the mountains are stable, the human race will never be able to set foot in the Yunfu monster realm.
If you want to expand your territory in the future, just find a reason to start a war.
On this barren mountain, there are only a group of powerful monsters in the Qi training stage left.
The voice of the Lord of Yunfu Mountain sounded again.
“I know you all have a large tribe and dormant ancestors, and you don’t need this mountain god to take the throne.
But I can promise you that as long as you find the trace of the person who did it, I can give up a place in the Yunfu blessed land.
You don’t need to do anything in this matter, this price is already very fair.”
The many great demons in the Qi training realm did not speak at once, and the expression of the golden eagle in the sky became more and more violent, and the pressure of the great demon pressed down unreservedly.
Finally, after a long silence, the White Deer Mountain God nodded and said:
"I agree to your terms."
Since the White Deer Mountain God spoke, the other several Qi-cultivating demons naturally did not refuse.
The group of monsters dispersed, and in the night, a greater crisis was slowly brewing.
Shen Yuan sat cross-legged in the inn in Yunfufang City, slowly inhaling and exhaling to refine the spiritual liquid in his body.
As the magic power filled his dry dantian, Shen Yuan finally recovered a little from his previous weakness.
The fake soul that was burned by the true flame of the sun still felt a bit of burning pain. The large amount of missing soul power also made it difficult for Shen Yuan to use the soul-controlling sword method in a short period of time.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Shen Yuan, whose majority of strength lay in swordsmanship.
However, Shen Yuan did not regret having swung the sword. At that time, he and Kuang Tianjie had reached a life-and-death situation, and there was no second choice.
What's more, after killing Kuang Tianjie, the gains brought to Shen Yuan were more than enough to make up for all the losses.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked at the hidden achievement that had been completed and chose to receive the reward.
The next moment, a thumb-sized scroll shining with golden light appeared in front of Shen Yuan in the void.
The scroll slowly unfolded, and a golden word "imperial" occupied the entire scroll.
Then a light appeared, and the seed of magical power had already fallen on Shen Yuan's chest, and the mark of the golden scroll gradually disappeared under the skin.
In Shen Yuan's eyes, all the detailed information about the magical power to exorcise gods was revealed.
Exorcising gods (the second of the Earthly Evil Powers): a method of the origin of incense and Shintoism, which can control the divine commands and drive the gods of mountains, rivers and streams.
If one attains the supreme position, once one order is issued, the three realms and six paths will bow down to him, and all gods in the four seas and eight wildernesses will submit to him!
