According to the intelligence Luo Qing had obtained from the tribe,
Hundred Gods Mountain was only eighty thousand li from the Five Elements Tribe.
In the Primordial Wilderness, where divine beings were everywhere, that distance could be said to be extremely close.
How could one tolerate another snoring beside one's bed?
This was one of the reasons Hundred Gods Mountain and the Five Elements Tribe had such poor relations.
The core of Hundred Gods Mountain consisted of five mid-level Innate Gods and nearly a hundred Low-Level Innate Gods.
The lowest innate position of an Innate God was at the Golden Immortal level.
Even Bai Yan, whom Luo Qing had captured, could eventually achieve the Metal God realm as long as he did not perish.
This ability came from his innate primordial spirit position, "White Fire Guardian Divine General."
However, as a Low-Level Innate God, his cultivation speed was likewise the slowest among Innate Gods.
There was no way to say exactly how long a Low-Level Innate God needed to achieve the Metal God realm.
If things went quickly, it could be achieved in several thousand years.
If things went slowly, even an entire epoch might not be enough.
This was also one of the reasons the Five Elements Tribe could contend with the group of Innate Gods from Hundred Gods Mountain.
As long as a group of mid- and low-level Innate Gods did not produce too many Grand Unity Golden Immortals at once,
and had several epochs of accumulated foundation, the Five Elements Tribe would have no reason to fear them.
"According to the intelligence collected by the tribe, only a dozen or so Innate Gods at the Earth God and Heaven God stages remain in Hundred Gods Mountain, while there are more than forty True Gods."
On a thousand-zhang mountain ten thousand li from Hundred Gods Mountain, Luo Qing gazed into the direction of Hundred Gods Mountain.
He was muttering to himself about Hundred Gods Mountain's intelligence.
At the Earth God and Heaven God stages, Low-Level Innate Gods cultivated very quickly.
As long as they did not slack off, they could easily enter the True God stage.
But after reaching the True God and Mystic God stages, the foundations and reserves of the Low-Level Innate Gods were no longer as sufficient, and their cultivation speed would begin to slow.
Moreover, Innate Gods did not possess as strong an awareness of the dangers of survival as Acquired Beings.
Most Innate Gods followed their natural instincts and were uninhibited, preferring enjoyment even more than Acquired Gods.
Upon reaching the True God and Mystic God stages, Low-Level Innate Gods without great perseverance would be the first to fall behind and would then be slowly eliminated.
And the target of Luo Qing's trip was precisely those Innate Gods below the True God realm.
After casting a fervent glance toward Hundred Gods Mountain, Luo Qing left the peak and arrived at a valley surrounded by mountains on all four sides.
The valley covered no less than five hundred li, and the surrounding mountains were all over a thousand zhang tall. It was an ideal hidden battlefield.
First, Luo Qing buried an Immortal Artifact in each of the four directions on the mountains around the valley to conceal the fluctuations of battle Dharma Power.
Then, one thousand li from the valley, he buried a monitoring Immortal Artifact Treasure Mirror in each of eight directions.
Only after that did he arrive at the center of the valley and take out a Spirit Pearl with white flames burning inside it.
Through the transparent Spirit Pearl, one could see a Guardian Divine General dharma form within.
This Spirit Pearl was created after Luo Qing had uncovered the secrets of the Innate God Bai Yan.
He extracted Bai Yan's primordial spirit, a trace of the Origin of the Great Dao of Fire, and his innate primordial spirit position and Innate Divine Body, refining them into an Immortal Artifact one by one.
At this moment, Bai Yan's primordial spirit had not yet vanished. His consciousness had merely dispersed, turning into an existence similar to an Artifact Spirit.
Luo Qing had been forced to do this in order to preserve a trace of the Origin of the Great Dao of Fire.
After all, once Bai Yan died, this trace of the Origin of Fire would return to the world.
Luo Qing still had great use for this trace of the Origin of Fire and naturally could not bear to kill Bai Yan just like that.
Although this White Flame Spirit Pearl was a third-grade Immortal Artifact, it did not possess much power.
Its sole function was to use the aura of that trace of the Origin of Fire to simulate the fluctuations of a fire-type Innate Treasure coming into existence.
Although an Innate Treasure was a defective product left behind after the failed gestation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it had still received the favor of the Origin of the Great Dao.
Therefore, whenever an Innate Treasure appeared, it would carry a trace of the aura of the Origin of the Great Dao.
If he searched through the Primordial Wilderness for low-cultivation Innate Gods like searching for a needle in a haystack, he had no idea how many years it would take.
Since that was the case, Luo Qing's plan was very simple.
He might as well lure those low-cultivation Innate Gods over to search for it themselves.
Because Innate Gods were likewise nurtured by the Origin of the Great Dao, they were the most sensitive to the aura of an Innate Treasure or Innate Spiritual Treasure coming into existence.
This was also one of the reasons Innate Gods could easily obtain Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Ordinary divine beings needed to search slowly for treasures, while Innate Gods had the guidance of the aura of the origin.
The difference in efficiency was obvious.
To avoid attracting the attention of overly powerful Innate Gods,
Luo Qing controlled the fluctuations of the White Flame Spirit Pearl's aura to fall between those of a Low-grade Innate Treasure and a Mid-grade Innate Treasure.
That way, even if a Mystic God or Mystic Immortal noticed it, they would most likely not care about a Low-grade Innate Treasure.
But Earth Gods and Heaven Gods with low cultivation would absolutely be unable to resist this temptation.
No matter where one was, the strong were always rich and the weak were always poor.
The same applied among divine beings.
Just look at how Bai Yan had previously wanted to seize even a second-grade Immortal Artifact, and one could tell how poor the divine beings at the bottom truly were.
"Everything is ready. Let's start fishing!"
Suppressing his nervousness, Luo Qing spoke in a low voice and activated the White Flame Spirit Pearl in his hand.
At once, a fluctuation of the Origin of the Great Dao, resembling the birth of an Innate Treasure, spread from the White Flame Spirit Pearl.
The aura of the origin continued spreading outward.
At the same time, a third-grade Immortal Artifact, a Bronze Mirror, appeared in Luo Qing's hand.
This Treasure Mirror was the mother mirror of the eight monitoring sub-mirrors he had set up one thousand li away.
Through the mother mirror, Luo Qing could investigate the movements within several hundred li of each sub-mirror at any time.
That way, as soon as a divine being approached, Luo Qing could detect it in advance.
If the person who came was too powerful, Luo Qing would definitely turn and run.
This was also one of Luo Qing's cautious life-saving methods.
For the great undertaking of capturing Innate Gods this time, Luo Qing had prepared many methods in advance.
Hundred Gods Mountain was a small faction established with Innate Gods at its core.
There were also tens of thousands of Nature Spirits gathered around it.
However, most Innate Gods held Nature Spirits in contempt, believing their foundations were too poor and that they were unworthy of associating with Innate Gods.
It was just that Innate Gods were too few in number, while the mid- and low-level divine beings were too weak, so they had no choice but to band together for warmth.
Only then had Nature Spirits gained a place in Hundred Gods Mountain.
Mu Sang, a Low-Level Innate God who had only just reached the Heaven God realm, was also one of those who looked down on Nature Spirits.
Mu Sang, who spent every day with Nature Spirits and had been bored in Hundred Gods Mountain for a long time,
had barely achieved the Heaven God realm before he impatiently left Hundred Gods Mountain.
He wanted to come out and get some fresh air.
Mu Sang did not dare to go too far. He merely wandered within five thousand li of Hundred Gods Mountain, which was Hundred Gods Mountain's safe warning range.
After casually killing an unintelligent Earth God-level vicious beast, Mu Sang cursed under his breath.
"If it weren't for these damned vicious beasts, why would I, a dignified Innate God, be trapped in Hundred Gods Mountain?
"Sooner or later, our Divine Race will wipe out every vicious beast under Heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Sang was preparing to return to Hundred Gods Mountain.
Suddenly, Mu Sang's primordial spirit fluctuated, and his spiritual perception sensed a burning sensation.
"The aura of the Origin of Fire?"
Mu Sang's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.
As someone with the foundation of the Origin of the Wood Dao, Mu Sang was second only to Mu Yuan in sensitivity to the aura of the Origin of Fire.
"I just broke through to the Heaven God realm, and an Innate Treasure has appeared. I, Mu Sang, truly am a person with Great Fortune. Hahaha!"
Mu Sang smiled delightedly and immediately flew toward the direction of the Origin of Fire's fluctuation.
Although a fire-type treasure was unsuitable for Mu Sang, taking it back to Hundred Gods Mountain would be enough to exchange it for a wood-type treasure.
For Mu Sang, who had just broken through to the Heaven God realm and had no powerful treasure protecting him, this was no different from an opportunity falling from the heavens.
The instant Mu Sang approached within one thousand li of the valley, he was discovered by the monitoring Immortal Artifact Luo Qing had arranged.
"An Innate God at the Heaven God realm with a wood attribute?"
Luo Qing grinned. The big fish had taken the bait.
