Chapter 213: Gongsun Sheng the God
A while back, on the same day...
“It’s about time.”
“Mr. Gongsun, let’s begin!”
On the wall of Xiangyang City, in a corner that was covered up by an array...
Ninth Uncle, wearing a yellow, eight-trigram robe, had set up an altar with incense, paper, and live chickens on them. He spoke to Gongsun Sheng who was wearing a blue Daoist robe.
At this moment, Ninth Uncle’s identity had shifted from a “ghostbuster” into a “professional researcher” in the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
After Gongsun Sheng arrived and taught him the Five Thunder Art, he had reached Extraordinary Rank-6 too.
At the very center of the altar, which was much better adorned than the one in the Twin Dragon Mount fort, inside a bronze censer to which the eight trigrams and the name of the ancestor of the Maoshan Sect were engraved, three purple incenses were burning!
[Deity Summoning Incenses]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: They are strange incenses developed by Lin Jiu on the foundation of the spores of Mind Deluding Mushrooms, soul jade, the heart of the purple wood, etc. Whoever smells the incense will be able to enter the state of seance!]
The Mind Deluding Mushrooms were a type of resource that was found in the Eagle Men’s destroyed settlement.
After human beings ate the mushrooms, they would have strong hallucinations!
Theoretically speaking, through the God Summoning Incenses, Ninth Uncle could make dozens of people borrow the powers of gods at the same time.
Of course, that wouldn’t have been significant, because the combat ability that the targets acquired through the ritual was actually transformed from the energies of the offerings and items at the altar.
If a hundred people were to summon gods at the same time, Ninth Uncle wouldn’t be able to power the ritual at his current level. Even if he could, the enhancement would’ve been trivial.
Therefore, the bright green smoke from the God Summoning Incenses in the censer all flew at Gongsun Sheng alone.
It gathered into a mass and hovered around him like a mist.
It was worth mentioning that this “censer” was not a regular item either. It was transformed from the Extraordinary Rank-6 Superior Stone of Civilization that Ninth Uncle acquired after the completion of the Ten-Species Competition quest. Its name was “Maoshan Eight Trigram Censor”, and it was a central device for the Maoshan Sect to cast spells.
Of course, it was merely a replica, but it still boasted most of the functions of the real Maoshan censer.
For example, it could concentrate all the power that was generated by the God Summoning Incenses exclusively on Gongsun Sheng.
“... Your loyal believer bows and begs the Heavenly Wandering Star Official. The divine general shall come as quickly as possible!”
While the smoke of the incense spread out, Ninth Uncle made corresponding gestures and waved a bronze sword with his other hand for the ritual.
He recited the name of the god that he was going to summon.
Hum!
After Ninth Uncle said that, a star suddenly glittered above the clouds even though it was the middle of the day, and the blue robe on Gongsun Sheng, who was standing on the city wall, moved without any external force. The smoke of the incense was uncannily swirling too.
A few seconds later, the smoke formed the shadow of a deity who was wearing a glowing crown, a robe of clouds and dragons, and had an intimidating beard. Its eyes were closed and covered in starry light.
On a closer look, the face of this illusionary deity was exactly the same as Gongsun Sheng’s.
It was because the Heavenly Wandering Star Official that Ninth Uncle just summoned was exactly Gongsun Sheng’s own title on the Blessed Monument in Water Margin.
Summoning a god as a hero, and the god was the target’s other self?
That was undoubtedly a creative operation, and as for its effect...
After the shadow of the Heavenly Wandering Star Official was gathered, Gongsun Sheng was significantly boosted and improved to Extraordinary Rank-7.
It must be noted that, due to his late arrival, Gongsun Sheng had only just reached Extraordinary Rank-5 before the final battle against the Eagle Men.
On the Battlefield of Providence, although time flowed faster, the EXP to be gained from training had been reduced accordingly, so one’s speed of training wouldn’t be much higher than on the Land of Inheritance.
Besides, there were tiny qualitative changes between every two minor levels after Extraordinary Rank-5. It was much harder to level up than before.
Theoretically speaking, Gongsun Sheng had just surpassed the threshold of Extraordinary Rank-6.
Nevertheless, he turned from the first tier to the top tier.
“Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique pacifies the world!”
Their action was still not over yet when that was done.
After his providence was greatly enhanced, Gongsun Sheng began to chant spells and cast the spells in the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique.
Then, the half-transparent Mirage Dragon Sword he was carrying had changes too.
Inside the equipment that was both a weapon and a magic medium, the vague ocean of clouds was surging, and the illusionary Mirage Dragons were roaring.
Pop! Crackle!
Furthermore, an infinite number of transparent purple lightning slithered among the clouds like snakes, causing tremendous waves!
Even though Gongsun Sheng was among the last to arrive, he made great contributions in the battles against the Forest Monsters and the Eagle Men.
Therefore, the Stone of Civilization he was rewarded with was also Extraordinary Rank-6. The target he chose to upgrade was naturally the Mirage Dragon Sword that highly matched him!
Hum!
After fully activating the power of the Mirage Dragon Sword, the internal views of the sword were even projected out, making it look like Gongsun Sheng and Ninth Uncle were protected by dragons and lightning.
Fortunately, everybody was covered up by arrays.
Even though the Yuan people had scouts, they didn’t notice anything wrong.
Of course, it wouldn’t matter even if they detected anything, because the ritual had already been completed.
All they needed to do was to stick to their plan from here.
“Thank you for your trouble!”
Gongsun Sheng bowed at the Star Official behind him who looked identical to himself!
Whoosh!
After that, Gongsun Sheng the Star Official nodded and grabbed the Mirage Dragon Sword.
In the next moment, the Star Official jumped into the clouds over their heads while hiding in a glowing dragon.
Then, the glittering star in the sky let out a beam of light that contacted Gongsun Sheng the God who was flying to the sky.
Hum!
After that, the power of the starlight was completely transformed into the purple power of lightning by Gongsun Sheng the God!
He descended to the top of the battlefield and pointed his finger down.
“Lightning!”
Following that, it was a familiar and intimidating voice.
Boom!
A flash of purple lightning in the shape of a dragon fell from the sky and precisely hit the West King who had expanded to three meters tall and was charging at Guo Jing with two war hammers.
The lightning was as powerful as a real one!
While Gongsun Sheng the God dispersed after the strike, he had secured an outstanding result. One of the central persons on the enemy’s side had been killed.
It must be admitted that, although Ninth Uncle was demoted earlier and his cultivation was even stuck for a while, he was no less popular on Earth than certain Perfect heroes were.
His god summoning talent, which had been enhanced when he reached Extraordinary Rank-5, might not seem very remarkable by itself.
However, in the Twin Dragon Mount fort where most heroes had deity backgrounds, it was almost a “Perfect” support ability!
