The God-Trapping Plan

According to the intelligence Luo Qing gathered from within the tribe, Hundred Gods Mountain is only eighty thousand li away from the Five Elements Tribe.

In the Primordial World, where gods are scattered everywhere, this distance can be considered extremely close.

How could one allow others to snore beside one's own bed?

This is one of the reasons for the hostile relationship between Hundred Gods Mountain and the Five Elements Tribe.

The core of Hundred Gods Mountain consists of five Intermediate Innate Gods and nearly a hundred Low-level Innate Gods.

The lowest natural rank for an Innate God is that of a Golden Immortal.

Even for Bai Yan, whom Luo Qing captured, as long as he does not fall, his cultivation will sooner or later reach the level of a Golden God.

This is an ability granted by the rank of his Innate Primordial Spirit, the White Fire Guardian Divine General.

However, as a Low-level Innate God, his cultivation speed is also the slowest among all Innate Gods.

It is impossible to say for sure how long it takes for a Low-level Innate God to achieve the status of a Golden God.

If fast, it could take a few thousand years.

If slow, even an entire Era might not be enough.

This is also one of the reasons why the Five Elements Tribe can stand against the group of Innate Gods at Hundred Gods Mountain.

As long as a group of low-to-intermediate Innate Gods does not produce Primordial Unity Golden Immortals on a large scale, the Five Elements Tribe, with the accumulation of several Eras of heritage, has absolutely nothing to fear.

"According to the intelligence collected by the tribe, Hundred Gods Mountain still has only a dozen or so Innate Gods at the Earth God and Heaven God stages, and over 40 True Gods."

Perched atop a thousand-zhang-tall mountain ten thousand li away from Hundred Gods Mountain, Luo Qing gazed toward the direction of the mountain.

He muttered the intelligence about Hundred Gods Mountain to himself.

Low-level Innate Gods at the Earth God and Heaven God stages have very fast cultivation speeds.

As long as they do not slack off, they can easily enter the True God stage.

But once they reach the True God and Mystic God stages, the potential and stamina of Low-level Innate Gods are not as strong, and their cultivation speed begins to slow down.

Furthermore, Innate Gods do not have as strong a sense of survival crisis as Acquired Beings.

Most Innate Gods are natural and unrestrained by nature; instead, they prefer to enjoy themselves more than Acquired Gods do.

Once they reach the True God and Mystic God stages, those Low-level Innate Gods without great perseverance will be the first to fall behind and will eventually be slowly eliminated.

Luo Qing's goal for this trip was precisely these Innate Gods below the level of True God.

With an eager gaze, he looked toward the direction of Hundred Gods Mountain. Leaving the peak, Luo Qing arrived at a valley nearby surrounded by mountains on all sides.

The valley spanned no less than five hundred miles, and the mountains surrounding it were all over a thousand zhang high. It was an excellent, secluded battlefield.

Luo Qing first buried an Immortal Artifact at each of the four cardinal directions along the surrounding mountains to conceal the fluctuations of battle mana.

He then buried a detection mirror, an Immortal Artifact, at eight directions, each a thousand miles away from the valley.

Finally, he arrived at the center of the valley and took out a spirit pearl with white flames burning inside.

Through the transparent pearl, one could see the Dharma manifestation of a Guardian God General existing within.

This spirit pearl was an Immortal Artifact that Luo Qing had refined after uncovering the secrets of the Innate God, Bai Yan. He had extracted Bai Yan's primordial spirit, a wisp of the Origin of the Great Dao of Fire, his innate primordial spirit status, and his Innate Divine Body, one by one.

At this moment, Bai Yan's primordial spirit had not yet perished; its consciousness had merely dissipated, transforming into an existence akin to an Artifact Spirit.

This was a measure of necessity Luo Qing had taken to preserve that wisp of the Origin of the Great Dao of Fire.

After all, once Bai Yan died, this wisp of fire origin would return to the heavens and earth.

Since Luo Qing still had great use for this wisp of fire origin, he was naturally unwilling to extinguish Bai Yan just like that.

Although this White Flame Spirit Pearl was a third-tier Immortal Artifact, it did not possess much power.

Its only function was to use the aura of that wisp of fire origin to simulate the fluctuations of an Innate Treasure of the fire attribute coming into the world.

Although Innate Treasures were considered defective products born from the failed gestation of Innate Spiritual Treasures, they had, after all, been favored by the Origin of the Great Dao.

Therefore, whenever an Innate Treasure appeared, it would carry a wisp of the aura of the Origin of the Great Dao.

If he were to search for low-cultivation Innate Gods in the Primordial World like looking for a needle in a haystack, he did not know how many years it would take.

Since that was the case, Luo Qing's plan was very simple.

He would simply lure these low-cultivation Innate Gods to come looking for him themselves.

Because Innate Gods were also nurtured by the Origin of the Great Dao, they were the most sensitive to the aura of Innate Treasures and Innate Spiritual Treasures coming into the world.

This was one of the reasons why Innate Gods easily obtained Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Ordinary gods needed to search slowly for treasures, while Innate Gods were guided by the aura of the origin.

The difference in efficiency was clear at a glance.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of overly powerful Innate Gods.

Luo Qing controlled the aura fluctuations of the White Flame Spirit Pearl to be between a low-grade and mid-grade Innate Treasure.

Even if a Mystic God or Mystic Immortal discovered it, they would likely look down upon a low-grade Innate Treasure.

However, low-level Earth Gods and Heavenly Gods would absolutely be unable to resist this temptation.

No matter where one goes, the strong are always rich, and the weak are always poor.

Among the gods, this is also true.

Looking at how Bai Yan previously wanted to rob even a Tier 2 Immortal Treasure, one could see just how poor the gods at the bottom truly were.

"Everything is ready. Time to go fishing!"

Luo Qing suppressed his nervousness, whispered to himself, and activated the White Flame Spirit Pearl in his hand.

Suddenly, a ripple of the Origin of the Great Dao, like that of an Innate Treasure being born, began to diffuse from the White Flame Spirit Pearl.

The aura of the origin spread continuously outward.

At the same time, a Tier 3 Immortal Treasure, a Bronze Mirror, appeared in Luo Qing's hand.

This mirror was the master mirror for the eight surveillance sub-mirrors he had set up within a thousand miles.

Through the master mirror, Luo Qing could monitor the movements within several hundred miles of the sub-mirrors at any time.

This way, as soon as any god approached, Luo Qing would be able to detect them in advance.

If the person who arrived was too strong, Luo Qing would definitely turn tail and run.

This was one of the cautious life-saving measures Luo Qing had prepared.

For this grand undertaking of capturing an Innate God, Luo Qing had prepared many methods in advance.

Hundred Gods Mountain was a small faction founded with Innate Gods at its core.

The number of Nature Spirits gathered around them reached tens of thousands.

However, most Innate Gods held Nature Spirits in great contempt, believing their origins were too poor to be worthy of associating with Innate Gods.

It was only because the number of Innate Gods was too small, and the strength of low-to-mid-level gods was weak, that they were forced to huddle together for warmth.

Only then did the Nature Spirits gain a foothold in Hundred Gods Mountain.

Mu Sang, a low-level Innate God who had just attained the cultivation of a Heavenly God, was also one of those who looked down on Nature Spirits.

Having spent a long time in Hundred Gods Mountain, feeling stifled and associating with Nature Spirits all day, Mu Sang could not wait to leave Hundred Gods Mountain the moment he achieved Heavenly God cultivation.

Coming out to get some fresh air.

Mu Sang did not dare to wander too far, only roaming within a five-thousand-mile radius of Hundred Gods Mountain. This was the safety perimeter for Hundred Gods Mountain.

Casually killing a mindless Earth God-level ferocious beast, Mu Sang cursed under his breath.

"If it weren't for these damned beasts, a dignified Innate God like me wouldn't be trapped on Hundred Gods Mountain. Sooner or later, my Divine Race will wipe out every last ferocious beast in this world!"

The moment the words left his lips, just as Mu Sang was preparing to return to Hundred Gods Mountain, his primordial spirit suddenly fluctuated. His spiritual sense detected a faint sensation of burning.

"The aura of the Origin of the Fire Dao?"

Mu Sang's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face.

As an Innate God with a foundation in the Origin of the Wood Dao, Mu Sang's sensitivity to the aura of the Origin of the Fire Dao was second only to the Origin of Wood itself.

"I've just broken through to the Heavenly God realm, and already an Innate Treasure has manifested. I, Mu Sang, truly am a person of great fortune, hahaha!"

Mu Sang laughed in delight and immediately flew toward the direction of the fluctuations of the Origin of the Fire Dao.

Although a fire-attribute treasure was not suitable for his own use, bringing it back to Hundred Gods Mountain would be enough to trade for a wood-attribute treasure. For Mu Sang, who had just broken through to the Heavenly God realm and lacked a powerful magical artifact for protection, this was nothing short of a heaven-sent opportunity.

As soon as Mu Sang approached within a thousand miles of the valley, he was immediately detected by the surveillance immortal realm set up by Luo Qing.

"An Innate God with the cultivation of a wood-attribute Heavenly God?"

Luo Qing grinned. The big fish had taken the bait.
