Chapter 86

The mountains trembled and roared.

The spring water rippled, and flocks of birds flew in circles.

Yang Qifeng stood facing the direction of Daze Mountain, his eyes fixed on the divine light soaring into the sky. His gaze was heavy.

The divine light was intense, reaching from the ground to the heavens, like a pillar supporting the sky.

The entire Daze Mountain was shaking, and the white clouds that had been swirling around the mountain peak had already dispersed.

"Refining the Mountain God Seal, could it have such power?" Yang Qifeng's face showed some unease. Although the Mountain God Seal was precious, it shouldn't possess such power. He was addressing the newly arrived Daze Mountain God, who was clad in golden armor.

"The mountains are in turmoil, not because of the refinement of the Mountain God Seal, but because Daze Mountain is ascending from a third-grade to a second-grade mountain," the Daze Mountain God said solemnly, his face showing a bitter expression as he looked at the turbulent mountains.

"Ascending, how is that possible?"

"Daze Mountain is a third-grade divine mountain. To ascend, it must devour all the surrounding mountains. How could it achieve this? Even if it gathered all the Mountain God Seals in the vicinity, the dignity of the Heavenly Court would not allow it to defy the heavenly laws. It would not dare to risk the beheading on the Immortal Execution Platform," Yang Qifeng said, his tone filled with disbelief. He knew very well what the ascension of Daze Mountain meant.

The Mountain God and the Earth God find it difficult to ascend because of the existence of the Heavenly Court and the restrictions of the heavenly laws.

This mythological world is not a chaotic era where heroes vie for power without the existence of heavenly laws.

The Mountain God can devour other mountain ranges, and the River God can arbitrarily invade other rivers, but now the Heavenly Court suppresses the thirty-three heavens.

The heavenly laws are in place, and if you dare to overstep, the Immortal Execution Platform will surely deliver its blow.

Do not think that the current Heavenly Court is not as powerful as the ancient demon court, which sometimes ignores worldly affairs. That is only because the bottom line of the Heavenly Court has not been touched. Privately ascending mountains and rivers is a violation of the Heavenly Court's bottom line. Any who dare to touch it will be severely punished, let alone those who exceed this line.

The current actions of this individual must elicit a response from the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, others will follow suit, leading to a situation where the big fish eat the small fish.

Many high-grade divine mountains will rise, and with the ascension of mountains and rivers, many deities will emerge.

"The Heavenly Court will certainly investigate other places, but this is different," the Daze Mountain God shook his head and continued to explain. "Daze Mountain's true name is Dongshan Daze. It was originally a second-grade divine mountain. Due to the chaos of the Qin era, its grade fell, dividing into Daze Mountain and Dongshan, along with some smaller ranges. However, in the records of the Heavenly Court, it is still listed as a second-grade mountain. If someone restores its grade, the Heavenly Court will not pursue it."

"Second-grade divine mountain," Yang Qifeng looked at the Daze Mountain God with a complex expression. This individual was already unfortunate, but it seemed he would be even more so.

The difference between a second-grade and a third-grade mountain is like the difference between heaven and earth.

"The Mountain Lord died in the chaos of the Qin era, and I succeeded him," the Daze Mountain God knew what Yang Qifeng was thinking and explained.

"Is that individual the Mountain God of Dongshan?" Yang Qifeng felt a chill inside and spoke in a solemn tone.

The world is unpredictable. He had prepared for a long time, bolstering his confidence with the enhanced Earth Yellow Flag and Black Knife's Earthly Ban. However, now that he knew Daze Mountain was ascending, his heart tightened.

The individual behind this had an 80% chance of being the Mountain God of Dongshan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain everything. If it were the Mountain God of Dongshan, then its strength might not be just at the first heavenly barrier, but at the level of an Immortal.

A third-grade divine mountain's Mountain God corresponds to the strength of an Immortal.

"Rest assured! Dongshan is in ruins, and its vital energy is greatly damaged. Although its grade is third, its Mountain God's strength is very low, barely crossing the first heavenly barrier. If I hadn't been suppressed, Dongshan would have been taken over long ago," the Daze Mountain God saw the flickering in Yang Qifeng's eyes and sensed his hesitation. He then detailed everything he knew about Dongshan.

Yang Qifeng felt a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the Mountain God of Dongshan was an Immortal.

In that case, what would he do? He would take the opportunity to escape quickly.

"He needs three months to fuse all the Mountain God Seals. He will take advantage of the weakest moment during the fusion to refine them, and that will be our time to act. So, these three months are our final preparation time."

"Agreed," Yang Qifeng nodded directly. The Daze Mountain God was the most knowledgeable about the Mountain God Seals and had the most authority to speak on the matter.

His eyes fixed on the Daze Mountain God, he saw that the divine light around him was thick, and his strength had advanced from the middle stage of the Spirit Body to the late stage.

The divine power accumulated over the years by the Earth God Seal, although not entirely compatible with the Daze Mountain God's divine power, greatly enhanced his strength after being refined by the Daze Mountain God.

"I will leave first and see you in three months," the Daze Mountain God hurriedly left, disappearing from Yang Qifeng's sight in a few steps.

Seeing the Daze Mountain God disappear, Yang Qifeng transformed into a long rainbow and quickly returned to his cave.

In the next three months, he would distribute all the weapons and armor and begin training the demon soldiers with the array flags.

As for other improvements, Yang Qifeng did not have much hope.

Three months was too short. During this time, he was busy refining weapons and condensing his soul. He did not expect to be able to condense the last two souls, and the study of the Great Sun Knife Technique required time and accumulation.

He needed time to complete his understanding.

What could he understand in three months?

No, in three months, he could still accomplish one thing.

The injuries left on Yang Qifeng's body could be completely healed in three months.

These were the injuries left by the lightning. Although the lightning strike injured Yang Qifeng, it did not make him suffer in vain. The fastest way to advance the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang was to endure suffering. The more severe the suffering, the faster the progress.

This not only applied to the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang but to all body-refining techniques.

So, being struck by lightning, Yang Qifeng's strength had made some progress.

His strength did not increase, but his recovery speed improved significantly.

This made Yang Qifeng realize that after he had strengthened his foundation, he needed to get injured more often to accelerate his body's recovery and strength.
