Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 869 - 359: Heavenly Ghost—Chaos

Stone chamber, high walls on all sides,

The many roaming deities of Mingjiang Prefecture, the Ancestor Tree, and the golden bell, in an extremely compelling manner, were staggered in the air, gazing at the "Mountain Ancestor" who had just emerged from the Earth Abyss.

The "Mountain Ancestor" was initially taken aback, then he came to his senses and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Well... I took the wrong path, I’m truly sorry."

He waved his sleeve, and another gust of wind rose.

"Damn it, Zhou Xuan heard that things are going pretty well, but this is too much, is he the Mingjiang Emperor?"

The "Mountain Ancestor" sighed, finally returning to the depths of the Earth Abyss.

Zhou Xuan still sat by the Ginkgo Tree, glancing at the "Mountain Ancestor": "Aren’t you deities supposed to be high and mighty? Weren’t you going back to your Heavenly Vault Divine Country? Go then..."

"I was just joking earlier."

The "Mountain Ancestor," who was quite arrogant earlier, with a bit of a divine aura, had now been humbled — he’d learned how to host, give gifts, and hand out cigarettes.

He felt around in Yun Ziliang’s pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one, and offered it to Zhou Xuan: "Great Master, have a smoke."

"You know how to cooperate now?"

Zhou Xuan took the cigarette and asked.

"Hiss."

The "Mountain Ancestor" ran his right index finger across the ground, and at the tip of his finger, a spark of fire hovered, brought near Zhou Xuan’s cigarette.

Zhou Xuan lit it, exhaled a smoke ring, and asked, "Mountain Ancestor..."

"Great Master, don’t call me Mountain Ancestor; I have a worldly name."

The Mountain Ancestor’s sleeve swept over, and a gust of wind churned, forming three characters on the soft earth — Li Changxun.

"This name was given to me by my master, I go by the Taoist name ’Humble Mountain Man’ as well, also taught by my master — to be humble and modest out in the world."

"Your master taught you some good customs, so why were you so defiant earlier?"

Zhou Xuan mocked, asking.

"A moment of confusion, a moment of confusion."

"I don’t think you were confused at all."

Yun Ziliang snatched the cigarette pack from Li Changxun’s hand, saying, "You understand human relationships, and the master ancestor likes that, but taking my cigarettes to gain favor is not okay with the master ancestor."

Li Changxun nodded quickly, bowing repeatedly, indicating that he had remembered his master ancestor’s teachings and would not commit the opportunistic mistake he made earlier.

"You ran away once, I don’t trust you... Your divine status... stays with me. After Mingjiang Prefecture is rebuilt and Bi Fang falls, I’ll return your divine status."

Zhou Xuan said bluntly.

"My divine status is in my Secret Realm, how are you going to get it?"

Li Changxun was anxious, cold sweat on his forehead — afraid Zhou Xuan intended to "kill and seize the treasure."

Yun Ziliang, his hands behind his back, said, "Xuanzi isn’t one for wanton killing; I’ll forgive you this time, but if there’s a next... even the master ancestor won’t spare you."

"Stand up straight, Xuanzi’s Nuo God’s hand can reach into your Secret Realm."

Lao Yun supported Li Changxun’s back with a palm, lifting this "Mountain Ancestor" junior into a straight posture, while Zhou Xuan’s right hand, glowing with a dim blue light, delved into Li Changxun’s Secret Realm.

His hand felt the gentle spring breeze, sensed the consummate ’Dragon Seeking Incense’, heard the low chant of dragon roars, and at the same time grasped an object resembling "bark."

He sternly said, "Li Shanren, have you felt my Will Heavenly Book?"

Li Changxun sweated from his forehead, closed his eyes, activated the bark-like divine status, seeing a Jade Silk Heavenly Book with tiny characters — Rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Agree to rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture."

Li Changxun sighed in lament; this wasn’t his first time signing his grand name on the Heavenly Book, but it was the first time he was forced to "leave a hand seal."

Upon his agreement, Zhou Xuan saw that a new name appeared on the Heavenly Book floating a foot in front of him — "Mountain Ancestor."

To fulfill the wish of rebuilding Mingjiang Prefecture, approval from six divine-level beings was needed, and now Zhou Xuan had enlisted five.

Peng Sheng, Lord Jian, Music Master, King Xishan, Li Changxun,

Even though King Xishan and Lord Jian had yet to be formally enthroned as deities, they were already confirmed human world divine-level beings.

"Just one more to go."

Zhou Xuan thought about leaving the Earth Abyss and seeking Lady Hong Guan, to have her contact the "Bitter Ghost" to facilitate the sixth divine-level signature, allowing the reconstruction of Mingjiang Prefecture to begin in earnest.

However, that’s a matter for later. Right now, Zhou Xuan needed to constrain Li Changxun and uncover the secrets within the Earth Abyss.

Upon this thought, Zhou Xuan’s right hand retracted from Li Changxun’s Secret Realm,

He extracted the "Mountain Ancestor’s" divine status — a gold bark-like piece, with flowing inscriptions on it, ancient and mysterious.

"What a divine status."

Zhou Xuan tossed the bark into his own Secret Realm, saying, "I’m a fair person; complete the matter agreed upon beforehand, and I will return your divine status."

"These are magical hands, able to probe into my Secret Realm."

Li Changxun’s attention was thoroughly captured by Zhou Xuan’s right hand, so much so that he hadn’t had time to respond.

Yun Ziliang gave him a flick on the head, scolding, "What magical hands, such unpleasant words; that is the Heavenly God’s hand. You, junior, behave yourself, or else I’ll tell you, the Zhou Family’s Nuo God can be revived, and if you plan to snatch by force..."

"Master ancestor, what are you implying? I, Li Changxun, am humble and modest, first and foremost a scholar."

Li Changxun patted his chest with a loud thump, completely forgetting his quick-to-change demeanor just moments ago.

"Come, tell us, what’s this Mother of Earth Abyss all about? And what about the Wind Horse Sparrows?"

Zhou Xuan listened attentively.

Li Changxun pointed to the top of the giant mountain cave, saying, "Great Master, do you know where this is?"
