Fairy's Disco!

"Lot 3, Earth."

"Here."

"Lot 2, Heaven."

"Got it."

In a corner of the great hall, draped with black cloth, amidst wisps of white smoke, Wu Wang and Ji Mo, clad in protective gear sewn from animal hides and wearing sunglasses polished from precious black crystal, operated with utmost concentration.

Wu Wang was clearly in charge, while Ji Mo continuously handed him 'titled magic tools' from the side, his expression equally focused.

Beside them, Ling Xiaolan was enveloped in layer upon layer of magic power. From time to time, she used her qi to control a handkerchief, wiping the sweat from Wu Wang and Ji Mo's faces to prevent it from dripping.

A bamboo basket to the side was already piled high with used handkerchiefs.

"Brother Xiong," Ji Mo asked with some worry, "Will it explode this time?"

"No, trust me."

Wu Wang said in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly. The hand holding the tool became even steadier.

Sometimes, it was like this. Someone had to step up to lead everything, to bear everything. As a man, one must have that awareness and sense of responsibility, and not retreat, not shrink back.

The difference between a hero and a bear was often just a single thought…

"Done!"

Ling Xiaolan and Ji Mo's spirits lifted. They immediately leaned in from the side. Wu Wang grinned and picked up the metal cylinder, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, in front of him.

"Just add water, activate the array here, and you can enjoy the joyful Five Elements spiritual light self-heating hot pot anytime, anywhere!"

Ling Xiaolan and Ji Mo's eyes immediately lit up.

Wu Wang waved his large hand, and the three of them went to the seats in the corner. Ling Xiaolan floated in the air, while Ji Mo and Wu Wang sat on stools. They added the specially made broth base. Ji Mo added water, Ling Xiaolan added ingredients, and Wu Wang casually chilled Star God brand cultivator's happy water.

Before long, steaming hot vapor surged forth. Plates of ingredients were added. Ling Xiaolan blinked gently and was the first to scoop some vegetables, carefully putting them into her mouth.

"How does it taste?"

Ji Mo asked softly. Ling Xiaolan blinked gently, covered her mouth, and hummed in affirmation.

The two men quickly rolled up their sleeves and began to cook and eat the meat. The scene was lively and warm, but Ling Xiaolan could only withdraw from the battle.

Wu Wang said indistinctly, "The issue of continuous, stable, and adjustable heating has been resolved. I'll craft a special set of tableware for the Fairy later!"

Ling Xiaolan's eyes immediately curved into smiles, and she gave Ji Mo a triumphant look.

Ji Mo: …

Why was her competitive spirit so strong?

"National Teacher Xiong! National Teacher Xiong!"

Shouts came from outside the hall. The proper National Teacher, blessed with both beauty and a generous bosom, hurried over. She lifted a corner of the black curtain and, looking at the three people inside who had all turned to face her, exclaimed excitedly:

"I heard it! I heard it just now!"

Wu Wang didn't react at first, then suddenly remembered something. He rushed out with his rice bowl, spread his Star Wings, and flew close to the ground, soaring past the National Teacher.

Ji Mo's eyes widened, "Heard what?"

"The voice of the former King! I just heard it with my spiritual sense!"

With a few clangs, Ji Mo knocked over tables and chairs as he rushed after Wu Wang's retreating figure.

When Ji Mo arrived, a crowd had already gathered at the foot of the statue. Wu Wang stood by the statue's feet, a purple crescent moon shining on his forehead, his hands clenching and unclenching.

Ji Mo had heard it too…

It was like the wind whispering, his spiritual consciousness catching that trace of spiritual sense fluctuation, and that familiar voice echoed in his heart:

"...I am well here. It's like entering a small garden, full of flowers, and this garden grows slowly every day. The pressure from the crown is lessening, and now I have the strength to project my spiritual sense outwards. Thank you, thank you everyone. I can feel everything you've done for me. Thank you..."

"Hey!"

Ji Mo clenched his fist and swung it forward, his excitement evident. The stone in his heart had been lifted by more than half.

Thirty-six days, only thirty-six days!

Wu Wang turned and roared, "Priests! Get some priests with strong spiritual sense to relay His Majesty's words to everyone! Be careful to seal the news. This matter must not spread beyond the palace gates!"

Cheers immediately erupted around them. Most of the warriors and priests hugged and jumped for joy. The National Teacher who had rushed over also couldn't help but have red eyes. She walked to Ji Mo's side and gently supported his arm.

Young Master Ji trembled but didn't resist too much.

Queen Jiayi's transmission truly relieved Wu Wang.

At least, his path was not wrong. Gathering belief to create gods was a feasible method!

And they didn't need to wait for the Queen to condense her Divine Spark and formally become a deity. That day might be too far off.

They only needed to confirm that this method was feasible, and the Women's Country would no longer need sacrificers, nor would anyone be harmed because of it.

This day, Wu Wang accompanied Ji Mo in getting thoroughly drunk, though it was Ji Mo who ended up completely inebriated.

One could tell that Ji Mo had become much more composed after his trip to the Women's Country, with less impulsiveness and more maturity.

Wu Wang, on the other hand, felt rather… regretful for him.

After all, for a young master from a prominent family like Ji Mo, being too serious was less enjoyable than being a carefree wanderer.

Once Ji Mo sobered up, Wu Wang summoned the current decision-makers of the Women's Country. In addition to the original group, there was also a young girl who bore a slight resemblance to Jiayi.

This was the new Sovereign, Jiayi's younger sister who had been secretly hidden away. She was clearly not yet accustomed to the responsibilities of a ruler, and though she sat in the main seat, she appeared very reserved.

"The current issue is how to concentrate the power of faith from the entire Women's Country to the Royal Palace!"

Wu Wang gestured with his hands to form a circle: "We need a grand array, and a magic treasure to gather the power of faith. Let's all share our thoughts. Does anyone have any ideas?"

True Immortal Xu Mu said, "I can try my hand at the array. Gathering the power of faith should have many similarities to gathering spiritual energy."

Ji Mo silently put away the array design he had spent several days and nights preparing.

Ling Xiaolan said, "Fellow Daoist Xiong has already identified treasure materials sensitive to the power of faith. I wonder if the materials of this type currently in the Women's Country can be made available to us."

Wu Wang replied, "A few days ago, I ordered several generals to take my personal letter and go to the Northern Plains to purchase these treasure materials. However, this will take some time.

I will create a sample for you now, and you can gradually implement it later.

This kind of array and magic treasure for gathering faith must be classified as a secret of the Women's Country, otherwise, it will bring you a lot of trouble."

The National Teacher quickly said, "Rest assured, National Teacher Xiong. The Women's Country has a barrier in place, so there will be no problem blocking information from the outside."

Wu Wang looked at Xu Mu, who, however, pondered for a moment.

Xu Mu stated, "This matter cannot be hidden from the Four Seas Pavilion, but we can pressure them through the Ji Family to prevent them from harboring any designs on the Women's Country."

"That's no problem!"

Ji Mo said firmly, "My second aunt and third maternal aunt are already on their way. I'll tell them as soon as they arrive."

Wu Wang asked, "When can the experts from both families arrive?"

"It will take about half a month more," Ling Xiaolan said softly. "They have to detour around Zhongshan, traveling from the West Sea. The message should have just reached them now."

Wu Wang nodded with a smile and proactively addressed the new Queen, handing over the initiative for the discussion.

The valuable experience gained in the Women's Country in the Western Plains was crucial wealth for the future rise of the Star God Cult.

This was not merely a superficial gesture; it was a win-win situation.

Wu Wang's mood became increasingly pleasant.

And so, another half a month passed.

'Lately, why do I feel like my cultivation insights… are decreasing?'

In the capital of the Women's Country, on the flying eaves of a tall pavilion, the Human Domain's True Immortal, Senior Xu Mu, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the goddess statue in the Royal Palace, which was covered with cloth.

The statue was undergoing renovation. Under the supervision of the chief designer, the Northern Plains Divine Envoy, and the Women's Country's Honorary National Teacher, Xiong Ba, Queen Jiayi's statue was undergoing a major three-phase transformation.

Xu Mu mused for a moment, sensing his own cultivation insights.

'Strange, the one or two glimmers of inspiration I remembered before are now becoming blurry?'

Was it because he had been spending too much time with Fellow Daoist Xiong recently?

Xu Mu raised a hand to his forehead and took a gentle breath. He was already old, yet recently he felt as if he had rediscovered the joy of his early days of cultivation when he first became a disciple.

Drinking wine every day, chatting, playing chess, listening to music—life was carefree, with no need for worries.

It was just…

Xu Mu sighed softly, feeling that this kind of life was not truly meant for a cultivator like him.

"Xu Mu, Xu Mu, you still have the ambition to protect humanity and attain Heavenly Immortalhood. How can you be so decadent here?"

A voice called out from the palace gate: "Senior Xu Mu! Everything is ready over there!"

Xu Mu immediately perked up, suppressed his distracting thoughts, raised his hand, channeled his energy, and pushed out a palm forward. A gust of wind arose, precisely and gently blowing the large cloth covering the statue into the sky.

The group of warriors responsible for retrieving the cloth immediately began to run after it.

Under the sunlight, the enormous jade statue reflected layers of halos, and behind the statue, the massive treasure wheel emitted layers of light.

This appeared to be a treasure wheel, and it was indeed a treasure wheel, but its internal structure was quite complex, housing over a hundred special spirit-gathering arrays.

Xu Mu nodded in satisfaction.

His mastery of arrays, Fellow Daoist Xiong's wild imagination, and Ji Mo's occasional minor contributions had all been perfectly integrated into this grand array.

It was aesthetically pleasing to behold.

Suddenly, Xu Mu's ear twitched, and he heard a call.

He frowned slightly, his spiritual sense catching a fleeting figure in a corner of the capital. He uttered, "Trouble," and flew away on the clouds with his hands behind his back.

Not long after, in a secluded courtyard, Xu Mu frowned as he looked at the three figures before him, forcing out an awkward smile.

They were two men and one woman: a middle-aged man in armor, a white-haired elder, and a woman in a fitted black dress, wearing a veil.

The cultivation levels of the three were centered around the male cultivator in armor, who was similar to Xu Mu. The elder was next, and the woman in black was the weakest, likely having just reached the Immortal realm, with uncontrollable immortal light surrounding her.

Xu Mu smiled, "May I ask what brings the three of you to seek this humble Daoist? I recall having already submitted my resignation."

"Steward Xu Mu," the leading male cultivator said solemnly, "we are here on orders, simply to inquire why Ji Mo withdrew from the trial."

"His Dao Heart collapsed, and he felt he couldn't bear the pressure of the trial."

Xu Mu chuckled, "Such things have happened before. If he wishes to withdraw, then let him withdraw. I cannot force him to do something against his will."

"Does Steward Xu Mu know..."

"Call me Daoist," Xu Mu reminded him, "I am no longer part of the Four Seas Pavilion."

"Sir, do you know that Ji Mo was a promising talent favored by the Pavilion Master?"

"If he himself wants to withdraw, what can be done?"

Xu Mu continued, "If the Four Seas Pavilion is dissatisfied with this, you can go directly to the Ji family. I, a mere True Immortal, cannot bear the blame of the Four Seas Pavilion."

"Very well."

The male cultivator cupped his hands, "Regarding Ji Mo, I will report truthfully to my superiors. I have one more matter to ask of you, Daoist."

"Is it about the Women's Country?"

"Indeed."

This person said, "The Women's Country seems to be attempting the 'Gathering Belief into Godhood' ritual. According to the information we have, it appears to have succeeded."

"Yes," Xu Mu replied, "Does the Four Seas Pavilion not permit it?"

"It's not that we don't permit it. The 'Gathering Belief into Godhood' method was also attempted in the Human Domain, but the results were not significant. We merely wish to learn of this method for future use."

The middle-aged Daoist said in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, could you please help us invite that Divine Envoy Xiong?"

Xu Mu couldn't help but fall silent. He said solemnly, "Let me remind you all first, the Northern Plains is the strongest human power outside the Human Domain, and it is also the source of thirty percent of the Human Domain's artifact refining treasure materials.

The mother of this Divine Envoy Xiong, although she only has a few hundred years of lifespan left, her strength is not to be trifled with."

"We merely wish to invite Divine Envoy Xiong to the Four Seas Pavilion to guide us in the way of 'Gathering Belief into Godhood'," the elder said with a smile. "Humans are one family, Divine Envoy Xiong would surely not refuse."

Xu Mu: ...

He let out a soft sigh and said in a low voice, "Why do I feel like the Four Seas Pavilion has become so unfamiliar to me in these past few hundred years.

If you wish to invite him, then go ahead. As long as you are courteous and treat him with respect, Fellow Daoist Xiong should be willing to impart his experience to you.

He also places great importance on the term 'human'."

With that, Xu Mu cupped his hands and took two steps back, rising into the air on clouds.

The woman in black beside him took half a step forward but was stopped by a large hand reaching out from the side.

"You must not be disrespectful to Mr. Xu."

Xu Mu smiled faintly and drifted back to the royal palace, his mind already contemplating how to remind Wu Wang later.

That night, a massive lotus platform rose from the border of the Women's Country, soaring at lightning speed to hover above the capital.

Ji Mo, who had dressed up for the occasion, turned and bowed to the dozens of figures behind him, smiling, "Seniors of the Mysterious Maiden Sect, Aunt, Maternal Aunt, this is the capital. Fairy Ling and Brother Xiong are in the palace, likely preparing for a celebration banquet. I will lead everyone there later, to give Fairy Ling a surprise. I truly cannot wait to introduce you all to this Young Master of the Northern Plains, he is truly..."

Behind Ji Mo, a beautiful middle-aged woman chuckled, "Alright, alright, you've been praising him all the way. Second Aunt knows you've made a close friend, which is rare, but no one is perfect. Praising him like this won't actually do your close friend any good."

"Hehe," Ji Mo chuckled sheepishly. The words "close friend" felt... too wonderful.

He piloted the magic treasure lotus platform closer to the grand array outside the palace. The array opened on its own, and the patrolling guards on the palace walls all lowered their heads in salute.

Most of the dozens of people behind Ji Mo were women. Only the last group of men in armor had the lowest cultivation. The male members of the Ji family were mostly stationed on the frontier and could not travel to the Women's Country to assist. Moreover, the Heavenly Origin Mystic Maiden Sect did not accept male disciples at all.

Among the reinforcements who had arrived here, the two white-haired female Daoists had the highest cultivation. A faint aura of peace emanated from them, and their imposing presence could be contained at will. Their immortal bodies held an elegant charm, and they should have already reached the Heavenly Immortal realm. They were two elders of the Heavenly Origin Mystic Maiden Sect. Upon receiving the Saintess's plea for help, they had rushed to this place. At this moment, they were also curious about Brother Xiong, whom Ji Mo had described as having 'turned the world upside down'.

As they approached the great hall covered by a black curtain, a powerful drumbeat suddenly echoed from the front, interspersed with the sounds of gongs, sanxian, and other instruments.

Ji Mo exclaimed excitedly, "Everyone, listen! This is the music created by Brother Xiong. Isn't it refreshing and unique!"

The immortals smiled and nodded, then moved forward together after landing. Ji Mo had already waved his hand, pulling down the black curtain, and turned to face the hall... inside...

"Uh."

A large Magic Tool Lamp Orb flickered erratically in the hall. The new Sovereign of the Women's Country, along with her ministers and generals, were dancing haphazardly, and a rich aroma of wine wafted through the air.

In a corner, on a small elevated platform, Ling Xiaolan, having removed her veil, leaped about enveloped in Magic Power. A happy smile played on her lips as she continuously struck a gong beside her, shouting:

"Fellow Daoists! We're celebrating today! Let's get hyped!"

Ji Mo opened his mouth and looked towards another corner, where Wu Wang sat elegantly drinking on a couch.

What is this...

The lips of two Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators trembled. One stomped his foot and shouted, "Xiaolan! What are you doing!"

The other, however, tightly closed his eyes and slumped backward, directly fainting.
