"You... you're the Qingyi Mountain God?" Yuanshi said in disbelief.
In Yuanshi's eyes, this temple was nothing more than an ordinary, inconspicuous little shrine. The mountain god worshipped within could only be some minor figure unworthy of notice.
Yet now, inside this temple, when Yuanshi tried to strike these spirits, he was forcibly suppressed...
This...
Yuanshi's cultivation was at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm!
Though it was only the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, in today's Primordial Wilderness, he was still a powerhouse in his own right.
A dignified expert at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm had actually been suppressed in this tiny temple until he could not even move...
This...
This was simply unbelievable!
Hearing Yuanshi say this, the spirits seemed to realize something as well. They turned to look at the wooden tablet on the offering table.
"The... the Mountain God..." one spirit cried.
"The... the Mountain God has revealed himself!"
"The Mountain God has revealed himself!"
"Wonderful! The Mountain God has revealed himself!"
For a moment, all the spirits were overjoyed, their faces filled with delight.
"Mountain God! You have revealed yourself! This is wonderful!"
"Mountain God! This daoist is utterly rude! He actually wanted to hit us. Good thing you revealed yourself!"
At once, the spirits all knelt to the ground, bowing toward the Qingyi Mountain God within the temple.
"Thank you, Mountain God, for revealing yourself!"
"Thank you, Mountain God, for saving us!"
Seeing the spirits like this, Qin Yun smiled faintly as well.
"Just who are you? Stop playing gods and ghosts here!" Yuanshi said coldly.
Yuanshi was still suppressed by the magic power within the temple and unable to move, though he could still speak.
"I am the Qingyi Mountain God!" Qin Yun said coldly.
"Hmph! A mere mountain god, yet you dare play gods and ghosts here!" Yuanshi snorted coldly.
Yuanshi circulated the magic power within his body, trying to break free from the immense pressure inside the temple.
But no matter how hard Yuanshi tried, he could not shake off that overwhelming pressure.
Tongtian looked at the wooden tablet on the offering table and murmured softly, "Mountain God..."
Laozi watched the scene as well, saying nothing.
Yuanshi snorted coldly. "Remove this restraint from me!"
Qin Yun replied just as coldly, "If you have the ability, remove it yourself!"
"You..." Yuanshi was furious enough for flames to rise from his head, but he could not move at all.
The spirits remained kneeling on the ground, clasping their hands and bowing to the wooden tablet.
The next moment, the immense magic power pressing down on Yuanshi dissipated. Likewise, the magic power suppressing that palm imprint also vanished.
However, once the magic power restraining the palm imprint dispersed, the imprint flew straight toward Yuanshi.
It came incredibly fast. Yuanshi had no time to notice it; by the time he did, the palm imprint had already struck him.
That palm imprint had been sent out by him, and now it had struck him instead.
The palm imprint was quite powerful. When it hit Yuanshi, he felt a sharp sting of pain.
Seeing this, the spirits could not help laughing.
"Hahaha! Now you've lifted a rock only to smash your own foot with it!" one spirit laughed.
"Hmph! Causing trouble in the Mountain God Temple—you deserve to suffer a little!" another spirit snorted coldly.
"You daoist, you're so rude. You deserve a lesson!"
All the spirits looked at Yuanshi, their eyes brimming with mockery and ridicule.
When Yuanshi saw them acting like this, his face turned green, then red. He was on the verge of exploding with rage!
Yuanshi was, after all, one of the Three Pure Ones. When had he ever been treated like this?
This matter might not have been very harmful, but it was immensely humiliating!
The palm imprint Yuanshi had sent out had struck him in return. Though it did not seriously injure him, the humiliation was extreme.
"Who are you? Come out here!" Yuanshi roared coldly.
One spirit frowned and said, "Show some respect to our Mountain God!"
The other spirits nodded as well. "Exactly! Show some respect to our Mountain God!"
"Don't shout and holler inside the temple!"
"Our Mountain God has a temper too!"
"You Daoist, how can you be so rude?"
Qin Yun's voice rang out in Yuanshi's mind. "I'm right here. If you can't see me, there's nothing I can do about it." He gave a light wave of his hand.
At those words, Yuanshi flew into a towering rage. He stared at the temple, furious beyond measure, blazing flames of anger seeming to burst from his eyes. "Come out! Get out here!"
The spirits rose to their feet as well. Looking at Yuanshi, they remained deeply displeased by his behavior.
"Don't shout and holler!" one spirit said.
"This is not a place for you to run wild!" another spirit said.
At that moment, Laozi spoke. "Second Brother..."
He wanted to tell Yuanshi not to act like this.
But Yuanshi was now consumed by rage. All he wanted was to slap whatever Mountain God was inside this temple to death.
"Second Brother..." Tongtian called out as well.
"Don't do this..." Tongtian said.
That Mountain God was unfathomable. It was best not to act this way.
"You Daoist! Get out of here! Since you disrespect the Mountain God, what are you still doing here?" a spirit said coldly as he looked at Yuanshi.
The other spirits also felt that this made sense and could not help nodding.
Yuanshi's gaze swept coldly over the spirits. He said icily, "A pack of furred, horned creatures, born damp or hatched from eggs, and you dare act so presumptuously before me!"
"You! All of you, die!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Yuanshi circulated the Magic Power within his body, gathering it in his palm.
Seeing Yuanshi act this way, all the spirits frowned.
"What are you trying to do?" The spirits pointed at Yuanshi, gritting their teeth as they watched him.
Yuanshi said nothing, only continued to stare at them coldly, his eyes seeming intent on wiping them all out.
Yuanshi continued circulating his Magic Power. The Magic Power he drew forth was several times more abundant than before.
At this sight, the spirits were so terrified that their souls nearly fled their bodies.
Yuanshi was, after all, a powerhouse at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, while these spirits were mostly ordinary spirits at the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal realms.
If such immense Magic Power struck the spirits, they would only meet their deaths on the spot, with no possibility of survival.
The spirits were all terrified. They wanted to flee, but where could they possibly flee to now?
"Yuanshi! Are you still not going to stop?" Qin Yun said coldly.
"Hmph! After I deal with them, I'll come deal with you!" Yuanshi said coldly.
"Second Brother..." Tongtian called, wanting to stop Yuanshi.
If Yuanshi truly struck them like this, those spirits would have no choice but to die on the spot!
Tongtian had once offered incense at this temple and had also received its blessings. He did not wish to see these spirits beaten to death by Yuanshi either.
Tongtian wanted to intervene and stop Yuanshi.
At that moment, Yuanshi had already hurled the Magic Power gathered in his hand at the spirits.
