I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1212 - 641: The Ancient History of Taixuan Divine Mountain
At this moment, battles are erupting in all directions.
In Tianying City, Tribulation Ash is causing chaos.
The Upper Heaven’s One-Eyed Great Saint is being blocked by the remnants of the Celestials.
The Great Banner Master of the Taixuan Garrison, leading the crowd, comes to the rescue, but encounters an ambush along the way.
This battle revolves around the Saint Master’s niece.
The Holy Alliance intends to lure out the remnants of the Celestials.
But Tribulation Ash seizes the opportunity to abduct Lin Xiaoyue.
Yet, in the dark, it seems as if a giant hand is manipulating this chessboard.
Even the higher-ups of the Holy Alliance are ultimately mere pawns of the other party.
And at this moment, the master behind the scenes stands atop Taixuan Divine Mountain.
His appearance is aged, his body hunched, resembling a farmer.
But on him, there is no unusual Qi Mechanism, as if he were an ordinary elderly farmer.
But before him, more than ten thousand elite troops of Taixuan Divine Mountain have already fallen to the ground.
"Your scheming target is not the niece of the Saint Master, but this Taixuan Divine Mountain..."
Fu Zhong, the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, who had lost an arm in earlier years, could only plant the banner before him, slowly wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, saying: "The rumored Medicine Gatherer who consumed the previous generation Saint Master’s demon head..."
"You recognize me?"
The old farmer looked at this one-armed man with interest and said: "In today’s world, there shouldn’t be many who have seen my true face, no impression of you."
"With just a face-off, without even making a move, you can suppress more than ten thousand elite troops of the Human Clan with your Qi Mechanism."
Fu Zhong slowly said: "I hold in hand the Heavenly Mechanism Flag, yet could not predict you... The Heavenly Might Banner Master beside me, with just your glance, died instantly."
He took a deep breath and slowly said: "More importantly, to be able to intervene in the matters of the Holy Alliance’s high rank, influence Tribulation Ash, scheme against the Celestials, and use the Human Martial Saint as a pawn in the same matter, there are very few in this world..."
"After all, I have lived so many years."
The Medicine Gatherer walked forward and said: "The chaos within the Holy Alliance, interfering in its decisions, is indeed not difficult!"
"Tribulation Ash in the North has already managed to step into the ranks, openly and rightfully serving as a Divine Envoy, ascending to the power of the Holy Alliance."
"But the South Mountain Sacred Land here, due to the influence of the past Saint Master, revered as a Holy Land not to be sullied by the Human Clan, coupled with the presence of Wutong Divine Mother, Tribulation Ash remains heavily oppressed."
"As for the so-called Celestials, any accomplished practitioner is inevitably arrogant, looking down on all beings, and over time, possesses traits that make them Celestials."
"As a Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, skilled in making plans and strategies, you should know that with these three chaotic factions, manipulating the chessboard and disturbing the situation is not difficult."
The Medicine Gatherer said this as he walked to the highest point of Taixuan Divine Mountain.
"Not difficult?"
Fu Zhong shook his head and said: "For you, maybe not difficult, but after the Saint Master’s passing, besides the likes of you old undying ones, who else could easily stir the world’s situation..."
"Saint Master?"
The Medicine Gatherer sighed: "Ten years ago, his Great Medicine matured, which should have entered my belly to help me break through the final step, in the most perfect state as anticipated, to take over Taixuan Divine Mountain."
"But because he died under Heavenly Tribulation, causing me to waste another ten years."
"To this day, still unable to reach the anticipated most perfect state."
"Ten years ago, after a battle against that Divine Spirit of Yuan Shan City, it harmed the Dao Rhythm in my body and damaged this physical body."
"Depletion exceeds supplementation, and sooner or later, I will fall."
He looked down and said, in a deep, eerie voice: "Only the opportunity beneath Taixuan Divine Mountain can extend my life for a thousand, ten thousand years."
"So you are using Lin Xiaoyue’s life to draw away this Taixuan Divine Mountain’s Great Banner Master!"
Fu Zhong said gravely: "The Great Banner Master took away more than half of the garrison here, and the remaining soldiers could not form the Great Array of Ziwei Star Dou in the Big Dipper..."
"Yes, if not becoming an Immortal God for a day, no matter how many skills I possess, I still have something to fear."
The old farmer said with emotion: "This Taixuan Divine Mountain, during the First Human Emperor’s era, moving mountains and filling seas, changing the terrain, was constructed over hundreds of years based on the foundation of a Great Prosperous Dynasty in the Mortal World."
"This array, during the era of Immortal Gods, was one of the extremely powerful formations."
"Thirty-Six Sky Gang Flags, Seventy-two Earth Evil Flags, all created by the First Human Emperor, possessing power comparable to the Old God’s Magical Objects."
"This Great Array of Ziwei Star Dou, if exerted to the extreme, can rival Immortal Gods."
"Although possessing combat power comparable to Immortal Gods, I may not truly be defeated, but to withstand this Great Array of Ziwei Star Dou head-on, it’s inevitable that my Dao Rhythm would be damaged, further harming this body."
He said this, sighing again: "At this moment, the eyes of all sides will focus on the Saint Master’s niece, allowing ample time for me to refine the opportunities here."
"..."
Fu Zhong fell silent, then said: "If the guess is correct, after levelling the Demon Domain back then, the Taixuan Mountain Garrison was greatly reduced and scattered across the lands, was it also your handiwork?"
"Just going along with the tide."
The Medicine Gatherer slowly said: "The duty of the Taixuan Garrison was originally to resist the Northern Demon Domain, and after the Demon Domain was levelled, the high ranks of the Human Clan had intentions to reduce military forces to enhance levels in various parts of the Human Clan, I merely pushed the process in secret to hasten this."
With that said, he slowly sat down and said: "I need a moment to unravel the formation I laid underground in the early years."
"Taking this time, let me, in my final humanoid form, have a chat with you."
"As Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, whatever imperceptible heavenly mechanisms you have, today I shall answer them one by one."
The Medicine Gatherer said this, gesturing with his hand: "Regardless of what level it involves, whatever you do not understand, I shall hold nothing back... It’s also my final show of respect for the Human Clan from which I originated!"
