Chapter 749: Siege

“The Deity Position!”

“A green Deity Position created by the heavens and the earth is comparable to a Heaven Immortal!”

The seven Gods gazed at the Heavenly Edict in shock.

It was especially hard for Mountain God Huo to believe what he was witnessing. While his divine seal had been improved by half a grade, he clearly understood the tremendous difficulty and risk involved in improving to a completely new level.

“So a Marquis Deity Position can actually be created through gathering the power of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers!”

A Marquis-rank was equivalent to Lord Bright Jade, both being superior gods of the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, Lord Bright Jade earned the title from the Heavenly Court, while this Deity Position had its own foundation. Anyone would feel envious at the sight of it.

“Of course... I’ve caused quite a bit of trouble. First, I’ve killed two Gods. Despite the fact that I’m their superior, the Heavenly Court is still highly sensitive about carrying out executions. Moreover, my position as the God of Mountains and Rivers will definitely encounter animosity, as it infringes on the authority of Excellency Mount Mang and the Dragon Kings of the Four Oceans.”

Obviously, such a blockhead was not going to end up well in the Divine Dao system.

But Fang Yuan was not bothered.

His blatant disregard for the unspoken rules was still not sufficient to enrage the Heavenly Court.

He would even act more recklessly so that the Heavenly Court would send him to the Mental Demon Battlefield, just as he wished.

With this thought, the green Deity Position descended into his sea of consciousness and started to radiate dazzling light.

Splash!

Fang Yuan was surrounded by five-colored light, and his River Earl crown turned into a colorful and magnificent attire decorated with the pattern of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers.

“From now on, all of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers are my deity territory!”

Fang Yuan took some time to savor this power of the Divine Dao. “The Heavenly Sacred King of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers? Names in the Divine Dao are always so long-winded. ‘Lord Mountain River’ will do.”

At this moment, he waved his hand, sending out seven streams of divine light that descended into the Gods on their knees. “As Lord Mountain River, I bestow you with the authority to assist me in managing the Three Mountains and Five Rivers!”

“Yes!”

All the Gods kowtowed again before standing up. They immediately noticed that their Deity Positions, as well as their authority, were safe and sound, other than some inexplicable change taking place in their bodies.

Originally, the worship and Spiritual Energy directly belonged to themselves.

However, this was now at Fang Yuan’s disposal. The authority to assign the benefits was a manifestation of absolute control in the Divine Dao.

But sure enough, any subordinates in the Three Mountains and Five Rivers could be blessed by Fang Yuan at his will.

There were both benefits and drawbacks to these Gods who used to occupy their own respective territories.

“Everyone!” Fang Yuan said in a clear voice, “Since I’m the God ruling this territory, I should be responsible for protecting it. Members of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect attacked the God Palace of my subordinate and bribed Mountain Gods with ill intentions, so we’ll send our troops to suppress them!”

This God is ruthless! Mountain God Huo was stunned by Fang Yuan’s words.

It seemed that the Marquis position could not satiate Fang Yuan’s desire. He was planning to attack the 72 immortal sects! There would be severe consequences!

“Great!” River Earl Jing applauded and laughed. “The Spiritual Flying Sword Sect set up in our territory, but still dared to be so aggressive. We need to teach them a lesson!”

The three sisters wavered.

Spiritual Energy abounded in the broad expanse of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers. Here, there were three immortal sects out of the 72, and together with countless small sects, they often conflicted with the Divine Dao.

If the new Marquis could take the lead in suppressing the Immortal Dao, it would prevent a lot of future trouble.

Green Mountain and Black Water were even more obedient, thus having no disagreement at all.

“Good. Green Mountain and Black Water, immediately return to Mount Peace and Mount Cloud Top to take control of the nether soldiers there. Everyone else just follow suit. Gather at the Surging Waves River half a day later. We’ll send troops via the water veins and directly attack the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect!” Fang Yuan made his decision without hesitation. “The key is to be fast!”

“Yes!”

Green Mountain and Black Water turned into divine light, flying out of the palace.

Right now, they were nothing less than real Mountain Gods with the power to execute their subordinate nether soldiers at will. Thus, they could easily take control.

That was similar to how Fang Yuan had readily killed the two Mountain Gods.

Earthly Gods only had small territories and would have utterly no power if they were unable to punish their own subordinates.

Therefore, it was not a big deal that Fang Yuan annihilated two subordinate Mountain Gods upon becoming Lord Mountain River.

But no matter which realm they were in, the final outcome would depend on Fang Yuan’s own strength and strategies in battle.

Half a day later, Surging Waves River.

Wuthering wind swept across giant banners.

Countless nether soldiers and crustacean armies formed arrays, covering the entire sky and emanating a ferocious air.

“Master! We have taken over Mount Peace and Mount Cloud Top and brought 20,000 nether soldiers and 72 God functionaries with us.”

Both Green Hill and Black Water had returned with some Malignant Qi on them, suggesting that they had killed quite a few resisting subordinates.

Fang Yuan was completely unconcerned and praised them instead, “Well done!”

Although nether soldiers only consisted of inferior wandering spirits between the realms of Qi Refinement and Stellar Malignance, with enough scale, their powers would grow significantly.

“I have recently comprehended a new array named the Eighty-One Ferocious Malignance Array. Order the nether soldiers to practice it!”

As Fang Yuan was talking, streams of light flew out.

Naturally, the nether soldiers were used for forming large arrays and gathering Ferocious Qi.

River Earl Jing understood the array and stared wide-eyed. “What an array! My 10,000 nether soldiers can only fight against an Earth Immortal in the White Tiger Killing Array, but this array makes use of the nether soldiers’ Malignant Qi and the water soldiers’ Ferocious Qi. With the aid of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers, they can even put up a fight against a Heaven Immortal!”

“Let’s not delay any further. Immediately set off!”

Divine Dao Gods commanded subordinates with spiritual will, so it took only a short while to practice the array. With a swing of his hand, Fang Yuan encircled the army with torrents from the Surging Waves River and sent them to the battlefield.

...

At the gates of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect.

Five Heaven Immortals sat facing one another in the secluded valley.

“We’re truly grateful for the assistance of the Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect!” respectfully said the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect’s two Heaven Immortals dressed in gray. They raised their tea cups. “Please have some Carefree Tea!”

“It’s our duty to help you cope with defiant Gods! How dare they kill a Heaven Immortal!”

The Bell Tripod Sect and the Spiritual Butterfly Sect were two of the 72 immortal sects, slightly weaker than the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. Two of the five Heaven Immortals were from the Bell Tripod Sect, while only one was from the Spiritual Butterfly Sect.

Heaven Immortal Bell Mountain spoke politely for a while before suddenly changing his tone. “But we still need to discuss how to split the profits after killing the Gods!”

Ye Jun, the eldest elder of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, said aggressively, “Oh? What do you mean?”

Damn it! Ye Jun’s junior brother, Hui Hai, gritted his teeth. The Bell Tripod Sect is making use of this opportunity when the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has just lost a Heaven Immortal.

“Senior Brother means that... two Deity Positions are obviously not enough!” Zhong Li, the other Heaven Immortal from the Bell Tripod Sect, said frankly. “Once we collaborate, we’ll have the strength of five Heaven Immortals. It would be a waste if we didn’t slaughter all the Gods of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers! After we conquer the Divine Dao there, only Gods with the Immortal Dao Decree will be able to gain Deity Positions. Don’t you think that’d be wonderful?”

His ambition and grandiloquence far exceeded what could be expected from his mediocre appearance.

“Oh? Making a clean sweep of the Gods in the Three Mountains and Five Rivers!” Ye Jun murmured to himself, somewhat convinced.

“This isn’t appropriate! I’m afraid the Heavenly Court will interfere!”

Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly from the Spiritual Butterfly Sect was a female. Upon hearing the plan, she shook her head immediately.

“Hmph! The Divine Dao killed a Heaven Immortal and offended us in the first place! Even if the Heavenly Court dares to interfere, the top 33 sects won’t be afraid of them!” Heaven Immortal Hui Hai said straightaway.

“That’s the rationale. We’ll take three out of the eight Three Mountains and Five Rivers’s Deity Positions!” Heaven Immortal Zhong Li nodded.

The Spiritual Butterfly Sect’s Immortal remained calm, but Ye Jun and Hui Hai felt uncomfortable knowing the Bell Tripod Sect was indeed planning to gain an equal footing with them.

Shaking his head, Ye Jun said in a firm voice, “The Spiritual Flying Sword Sect will take four out of the eight!”

“Do you mean that I’ll have to be disadvantaged?” Heaven Immortal Spiritual Butterfly laughed. While she was a female cultivator, none of the Heaven Immortals dared to look down on her.

“Everybody, please don’t get angry. That’s not what Senior Brother meant. The Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has spent a long time coping with the Divine Dao, and we’ve taken control of both Mount Peace and Mount Cloud Top...” Heaven Immortal Hui Hai explained in a hurry. “This time, they brought back the message that the Gods of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers have the idea of joining together. We then let them bring spiritual swords into their alliance to collect information... Don’t you agree that we deserve some returns?”

They could actually win over two Mountain Gods! The two Heaven Immortals from the Bell Tripod Sect exchanged glances, both feeling a bit scared. The foundation of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect is really too deep to be undermined by the death of a single Heaven Immortal...

Hoot hoot!

At the moment, the desolate sound of a military bugle was heard all around the gates of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect.

Splash!

The sky shook and the ground trembled. Dark clouds blocked the sun, as if an incipient rainstorm was about to wreak havoc.

A huge number of figures emerged in the layers of dark clouds. Some were ferocious nether soldiers, while others were crustaceans covered with shells.

“Is this... a Divine Dao spirit army?”

The five Heaven Immortals were all astonished, and then immediately enraged. “They dare?!”

Ye Jun and Hui Hai were even more stunned, as they had received absolutely no warning from the two Mountain Gods.

“Lord Mountain River commands the slaughter of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect! Leave no one alive!”

A majestic voice struck like thunder across the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, petrifying every single cultivator in the sect.
