A Realm of Rivers and Mountains Painted into a Single Thought

The sight of the two dragons dancing in the sky was not only seen by Master Flying Tiger, but by countless people across the entire Grasslands.

A similar situation occurred a few months ago, and its recurrence has once again shocked everyone! This time, the scale of the event is clearly even greater than the last one!

The changes are not only felt on the grasslands, but also in the Five Marshes region south of the Great Rui's southern border!

The Marshlands had changed drastically since the invasion of the Celestial Soldiers nearly a year ago. A large area of land had been ravaged by the out-of-control Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Starlight shone in the mountains and swamps. Four heavenly generals sat there silently, their eyes closed, like statues. There were no other figures besides the four of them.

Suddenly, the four heavenly generals opened their eyes at the same time. Before their eyes, countless figures flashed by, as if four armies were hidden.

Then, four pairs of puzzled gazes turned to the distance. In the Lin Zhong, thoughts rose and soared into the air, faintly condensing into a stream of thoughts that seemed to hold a place in the sky.

The four heavenly generals immediately recognized the source of the thought, knowing it was a forest where several Marshfolk tribes were located. Those tribes were now called "Kitchen Marsh," a newly risen Marshfolk alliance. They worshipped not the Ancestral Spirits of the Marshfolk, nor the Five Marshes gods, but a god called Kitchen God, which was called "Kitchen Marsh" by the other Marshfolk tribes.

Now, the people of the Stove Marshlands had this Human Thoughts, and this change immediately attracted the attention of several parties in the Lin Zhong, including the Celestial Soldiers, the Marsh Ancestor, and several Five Marshes Gods.

In the "Refuge Marsh" that had joined a branch of Buddhism, the three Living Buddhas who were stationed there had a spiritual experience.

"That evil god has not been destroyed yet, and now he is stirring up trouble again."

"It may be wind and rain, but that's not necessarily true; one can only grasp a little bit of the geomancy."

"Let's wait and see."

Several senses rose up, sweeping across the sky, and within the thought of "Kitchen Marsh," they saw the landscape of the Marshlands, vividly depicting the jungle and marshland within their thoughts.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Min Yuan hasn't been destroyed yet?"

Deep within the Marshlands, the two Marshlands gods, Blue and Red, communicated telepathically. They revealed surprise; they already knew the circumstances of the Star Lord's attack, that the Divine Spirit Body had pulled him into an unknown place, and that he had not returned.

They were unclear about the fate of those Divine Spirit Body, and could only roughly judge it from the changes in believers and the Domain of Law.

In recent days, although there have been occasional miracles among believers who are Divine Spirit Body, they are not as frequent as before. Moreover, many believers have become confused, and their longing for the divine has turned into hatred, which is clearly due to human interference.

The source of that interference is not hard to guess.

"In any case, there's no doubt that Min Yuan is not yet destroyed." At this moment, Seven-Colored Divine Sense transmitted over, "If he can return, it will be no small matter. We must not get involved in the current affairs of Nine Spirits Mountain, lest we bring trouble upon ourselves."

In the blink of an eye, the thoughts carrying the imagery of the Marshlands rushed northward!

As they passed the southern foot of Nine Spirits Mountain, a pure and refined thought came to them, containing the figure of a hunter named Yuan Shoufang, the chieftain of Fenglin Stockade foot of the mountain.

A moment later, many more People's Wishes rose up and merged into it, imprinting the many mountain and river scenes of the southern foothills into it.

Fenglin Stockade was once in crisis, but Qiu Yan saved it by Divine Spirit Body. Since then, the villagers have all become devout, worshipping the Kitchen God morning and evening.

This fusion, this surge of hope, seemed to transform into a stream, continuing its northward flow.

As they passed through Nine Spirits Mountain and Great Snow River, the mountains and rivers trembled. All living beings on and below the mountain were startled. Whether they were silent plants and trees, ignorant wild beasts, or demons that had gained Spiritual Light, they all felt the image of the gods in their hearts become much clearer. Then they focused their thoughts and soared into the sky!

In the villages and towns along the river at the northern foot of the mountains, incense smoke rises faintly, climbing higher and higher, carrying with it the hopes and wishes of those who have placed their faith in the gods.

Originating from the numerous thoughts arising from the southern and northern slopes and the rivers flowing through the mountains, the landscape along the Nine Spirits Mountain and the Great Snow River evolved. The mountains and rivers spread and gradually expanded, forming the southwestern mountain and river system...

In an instant, the thought of entrusting something to the river transformed from a trickle into a mighty river, meandering northward.

At the same time, within Nine Spirits Mountain, several deities sensed something and their expressions changed. They were surrounding a deity, none other than Huang Jue, the Sixth-Rank Deity Panluo Mountain God, who was also known as Min Yuan Subordinate Deity. However, at this moment, his divine Divine Radiance was dim, with a hint of dust in Divine Radiance, and his face was grim. But after noticing the changes in Nine Spirits Mountain, he laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Just you wait and see how long you can remain arrogant until the master returns..."

Leaving aside the changes in the Divine Path, let's talk about the continued northward movement of the people's hopes, as they entered the Jiannan region. Many incense offerings and grievances converged from all directions, among which Qingchang County had the purest and most intense concentration.

However, after the Star Lord's intervention, the believers' thoughts in Jiannan Circuit have clearly weakened. Most of the believers' thoughts that have been transmitted are those who Hearts Aware of Gods and Ghosts. There are not many people with Hearts Devoted to Gods and Ghosts, and most of them are concentrated in Qingchang County.

Throughout Jiannan Circuit, the Kitchen God Sacrifice appears somewhat superficial.

However, it is easier to prevent people from speaking than to prevent a river from overflowing. Even if the Star Lord took action, without follow-up measures, it would be impossible to eradicate the lineage of a deity. As the Eye-Bearing Star Lord departed and stopped interfering with the thoughts of believers, the situation was prevented from deteriorating. The name of the Kitchen God slowly spread, and in nearly a year, it had spread throughout Jiannan and infiltrated the surrounding areas.

At the same time, as the thought of entrusting one's hopes passed through Jiannan City, a pure and profound thought soared into the sky. It originated from a clerk in the city named Yang Chi, the son of a disgraced official. He had comprehended the Spirit-Strike Method and saved the situation from danger. As a result, he became more and more devout to the Kitchen God. After many twists and turns, he has now gained a certain reputation.

However, after passing Jiannan, the thoughts he had entrusted to him had transformed into a river, flowing northwards along Qiu Yan's northward journey.

Along this road, there are many traces left by Qiu Yan, such as the Flying Rainbow Bridge and the Wind Fur. He once appeared in a dream along the way, which created the name of the Kitchen God. He also subtly drew the thoughts of the believers of the Fire Sovereign, making their hopes even stronger.

Not only at the site of the Kitchen God Sacrifice, but also in the many fragments left behind by the Heart Demon Body, which are hidden in everyone's hearts, including the Barbarians prince. He has already returned to his country and traveled Roof of the World, where he has also explored the geographical landscape. Following the Heart Demon's lead, he also flew out in a single thought.

In the center of the roof ridge, a faint aura of a blue dragon appeared, its head raised as it gazed into the distance.

Furthermore, the City Will of Eastern Capital Prosperity Capital pulsed, changing with the Dragon Qi, projecting the shapes of their cities, each branching off and heading towards the Grasslands!

Even Qiu Yan's books and paintings, which circulated in various places and gathered the thoughts of many, all manifested a bit of geographical scenery. Even in the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends Stockade in the Qi-Lu region, there were thoughts that were entrusted to the north.

These thoughts rose from all over the Great Rui, drawn by the Dragon Qi, slowly outlining the vast landscape, though not as clearly as the thoughts they were meant to convey. Then, one after another, they roared towards the Grasslands!

A storm raged across the Grasslands, the Black Dragon Qi surged and rolled in the sky, the Three Rivers' Fortune intertwined, and the Fortune of numerous tribes and slaves manifested. Geographical phenomena appeared one after another, transforming into Human Thoughts, all converging towards a single oasis!

There, a pillar of light pierced the heavens and the earth!

Before the pillar, a number of the Daoist Sect had gathered. The two leading figures were a man who was not old, only in his thirties, but whose eyes were full of vicissitudes, and a man with white hair and beard, who had an air of otherworldly wisdom.

The two led the cultivators, harnessing Law Treasure and escape techniques. They manipulated hand Method Formula and Dao Arts, gathering the energy of everyone to form a massive canopy, attempting to spread outwards. However, a large portion of it was shattered by the energy pillar!

At the bottom of the column of air, a person stood. He was dressed in a thin scholar's robe and held a stone Ceremonial Staff in his hand.

Behind the pillar, thousands of people were scattered, each with their own manifested Fortune, intertwining and shifting, rising up and gathering in the pillar of energy!

High in the sky, two divine dragons lingered, casting an invisible pressure that squeezed and compressed the Fortune, almost shattering it!

Seeing this, the two leading cultivators rallied the others, struggling to hold on, but it was already showing signs of becoming unsustainable.

Soon, the weathered man said, "This can't go on, Senior Ding Chunzi. We should retreat for now. This Qiu Yan is too strange. Seeing our strength, he was able to stir up the Dragon Qi of two sides. I don't know how he did it!"

The white-haired old man shook his head and said, "We gathered the combined strength and thoughts of many like-minded people to break the Military Momentum, and only through the blood sacrifice of the young men of Tu Lang were we able to suppress the Human Path Order. Such an opportunity will not come again. We must separate him from his Original Edition, otherwise it will all be in vain. As for his future allegiance, we will find another way..."

Before he finished speaking, he took out a gourd from his bosom.

"What is this?" The weathered man was taken aback when he saw the object. "Senior, you even need to use this?"

"Indeed, if we don't fight now, when will we?" The old man sighed, tossed the gourd into the air, and immediately a cold, silvery light flashed from its mouth, gushing out!

Upon seeing this, the weathered man felt a pang of emotion. He gritted his teeth, formed a hand seal, and a section of bamboo sword flew out from his sleeve. It spun in mid-air and transformed into seventy-two swords, unfolding into a sword formation.

The silver light and sword array merged into the bedding, and signs of damage appeared immediately!

Behind the two, the cultivators, whose Fortune and will were connected, knew in unison that it was time to fight to the death. They each made hand seals and released their most treasured Law Treasure and Cultivation Method.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling array of colors shot into the air.

The nearly tattered bedding immediately gained momentum and showed signs of a counterattack!

Drawn by the energy, Qiu Yan's eyes flickered within the energy column, and at that moment, the wind and clouds surged!

The hopes and aspirations that gathered from Eight Directions converged, transforming into layers of clouds that swirled and fell straight down, stirring up a fierce wind!

The north wind is howling!

Boom!

Thunder rises, the sky trembles, and all the scenery in the Eight Directions falls with a single thought!

Nian Qiu Yan focused his energy on his right hand, and a writing brush appeared out of thin air, wrapping around a roll of white paper. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the brush touched the paper.

Bite!

With a crisp sound, invisible ripples spread out, sweeping across the surroundings, and causing a stir in the hearts of the thousands of people behind the pillar of air.

Amidst the crowd, Ran Lian felt a shift in his own thoughts, as if they were glowing. Looking again at the towering pillar of energy, a profound understanding arose within him, and he couldn't help but sigh in awe.

"These past two months have felt like a dream!"

Thank you to "A Cigarette Travels the World" and "Cold Bamboo Foundation" for their generous donations!

There have been a lot going on at home these past few days, and I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow. However, I haven't forgotten my promise to update more chapters and will try my best, but I really won't be able to manage tomorrow. I had planned to write more these two days, but things have been busy at home lately, so I hope you can all understand.
