I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 609 - 366: The Most Human Divine Spirit!

Chapter 609: Chapter 366: The Most Human Divine Spirit!

Yuan Shan Temple.

Lin Yan personally brought the corpse of Chen Long.

He pressed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, his expression solemn.

"Great Temple Priest, it’s best not to get too close."

"I understand," the Great Temple Priest sighed, standing three meters away, "Some things, even the Mountain God does not dare speak directly of; how could I dare to investigate?"

"..."

Lin Yan gave him a long, deep look.

This Great Temple Priest surely understands the Divine Text.

If he sees the Divine Text within Chen Long’s body, it would be a great peril.

Nine Divine Texts, chaotic and disordered though they are.

But as long as one recognizes these nine texts, one might attempt to arrange them mentally.

Perhaps today’s Great Temple Priest is lucid and can vow not to investigate further.

But in this era of deceitful nights, anyone might lose control!

And in this Yuan Shan Temple, anyone could become Tribulation Ash!

If the Great Temple Priest has seen these nine Divine Texts, the high echelons of the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique’s Holy Land, who are beginning to recover, would leave no hidden dangers!

So, for the Great Temple Priest, these nine Divine Texts are indeed a deadly calamity!

Seeing them means death!

"It seems from the Mountain God, you also know of this disaster."

Lin Yan glanced at him and said, "Since you know, arrange to destroy the sacrificial altar for Chen Long’s corpse..."

"The Mountain God didn’t specifically mention the disaster, only gave a reminder."

The Great Temple Priest slowly said, "Normally, the corpses in the city would be handed over to the Temple to be incinerated, but this is the new Sect Hierarch of Tribulation Ash, so it should be taken directly to the Prefecture City."

"However, over at the City Guard Mansion, due to discovering the scales on the corpse are still growing, they dared not move it hastily and left it in the City Guard Mansion’s morgue... asking us Twelve Temple Priests to send someone to check."

"The Mountain God only told us, the people of the Temple... those who went to the City Guard Mansion today, ten deaths and no life!"

"Until just now, when the celestial signs changed drastically and instantly vanished, did I somewhat understand."

He pointed at Chen Long’s corpse and said, "This is the source of the calamity; the sacrificial altar is already in the main hall, having paid respects to the Mountain God, you may incinerate it directly."

Lin Yan nodded slightly and added, "It’s best for the other temple priests to curb their curiosity and not to inquire any news from the City Guard Mansion or the Observatory."

After a pause, Lin Yan whispered, "Even if Chen Long’s corpse is destroyed, as long as they attempt to inquire, they shall not escape death!"

Those who kill them may not be the disaster, but more possibly the high echelons of the Human Clan, who fear the disaster!

"..."

Seeing the expression of the Saint Master, the Great Temple Priest nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

——

In the main hall, a sacrificial altar had already been set up.

The statue of the Mountain God stood as before.

Lin Yan placed the scaley Chen Long onto the altar.

He took out a pig and a chicken.

He took three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner.

White smoke curled upwards, merging into the statue’s eyes.

The next moment, the eyes of the Mountain God glowed.

"Is this ritual sincere enough?"

Lin Yan quietly watched Him and slowly spoke.

"Those who truly revere the Divine Spirit would not pose such a question to the Divine Spirit... no, this is interrogation!"

The Mountain God’s gaze fell down, serenely saying, "At last, it is resolved."

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Not even the gods of ancient times can withstand this disaster?"

"It cannot be endured!"

The Mountain God’s voice was solemn as He declared, "At least, I cannot endure it!"

"So even the mention is filled with dread?"

Lin Yan pondered and then said, "On my way, I calculated carefully, ever since the ancient Immortal’s Injunction came to light, from the Venerated Willow of High Willow City to the Heavenly Lord of Feng City, to you, the Mountain God... all have been reminding me of an unspeakable existence!"

"You all have foreseen that the Ancient Old Gods who decided to be enemies of the Human Clan, the ancient evil, and the higher-ups of Tribulation Ash... would use ’these nine Divine Texts’ to kill me, the Saint Master of the Human Clan?"

"But His existence terrifies you."

"Even though there is a desire to protect me, the Saint Master of the Human Clan, no one dares to plainly warn me!"

"Even the Ancient Old Gods, are they terrified of His existence?"

"Terrified to the extent that even cryptic warnings are given gingerly?"

Lin Yan asked in a heavy tone.

"Yes!"

The Mountain God slowly replied, "Every mention of His existence arouses fear within! Normally, as long as His venerable name is not mentioned, it would not invite the disasters of bygone eras, but fear... would awaken the old thoughts slumbering within the Divine Body!"

He said quietly, "So, when mentioning Him, one must avoid more clues about Him to prevent the fluctuation of old thoughts and the turbulence of the Divine Body!"

Lin Yan pondered aloud, "But now, you seem not to be so fearful?"

"You have stopped the disaster, interrupted the catastrophe, proving that the Human Clan’s fortune is more robust than I imagined!"

The Mountain God said, "Chen Long’s corpse bears words inscribed by nine gods. You have offered it as a tribute to Me! Although the Divine Power is exhausted, the words remain!"

"So here, you, the Great Fate Teller, along with the nine Divine Auras offered, will share in the mystical ’gaze’!"

"Without mentioning His venerable name, even the ’glances’ from times past, shared among us, I am not so fearful."

He said, sighing, "However, in this regard, I can say no more! Otherwise, the old thoughts within will awaken..."

As an ancient Divine Spirit, to admit his fear before a young human, it truly stripped the Divine Spirit of dignity!

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yan asked again, "Then, what is the opportunity you plan to bestow upon me, young one?"

"This is the blessing of the Divine Spirit!"

The Mountain God’s voice was deep, "You should await My blessing, not ask for it! The blessing I give proactively is a blessing; what you are doing is extortion!"

"..."

Lin Yan gazed deeply at the other.

This is the Divine Spirit who first conceived the idea of a Guardian God among the Human Clan, within Qifeng Prefecture!

Derived from the incense of the Human Clan, the accumulation within Him is also the greatest!

Neither the Venerated Willow of High Willow City nor the Heavenly Lord of High Willow City ever admitted to fear of the Ancient God King in his presence!

But this Mountain God does not seem to mind any Divine Spirit dignity and is straightforward.

He fears that Ancient God King!

And with these words!

Lin Yan, in a daze, seemed to comprehend something!

This Mountain God harbors intense humanity!

In this world, the higher one’s cultivation, the lesser their humanity!

Thus, those humans with profound cultivation are more susceptible to losing control under the influence of foreign True Qi or even foreign Mana!

Back then, Duke Lu was very concerned about Lin Yan’s future and constantly monitored Lin Yan’s attitude toward his family.

He wasn’t afraid of Lin Yan losing control!

He feared Lin Yan’s cultivation would become too high, his Divinity too great, and his humanity too thin!

Just like that ancient Medicine Gatherer, though He hadn’t completely lost control, He had already lost His humanity.

But this Mountain God, evidently an ancient Divine Spirit, carries more humanity than even the high echelon of the Human Clan.

"Wait just a moment on the blessing!"

The Mountain God’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Flames suddenly arose upon the altar!

These flames were intensely scorching!

Lin Yan couldn’t help but step back, displaying a look of astonishment.

"This is..."

"Nirvana Divine Fire, originating from the Wutong Divine Mother’s Fire Seed!" The Mountain God’s voice came.

"So, today’s events, was the Wutong Divine Mother already aware of them?" Lin Yan asked, frowning.

"Why else do you think these nine Divine Texts appeared in Yuan Shan City?"

The Mountain God sighed, "Whether it’s High Willow City or Feng City, the ’humanity’ of those two is not as heavy as Mine!"

"When facing this disaster, their old thoughts would thoroughly awaken. Only I can completely suppress the old thoughts!"

"Chen Long coming to Yuan Shan City was not a spur of the moment but was drawn here by the deaths of eight Watch Night Men!"

"This is all for this disaster to occur here, and then be dismantled by you here."

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "And during your battle with Chen Long, the Twelve Temple Priests exhausted the incense of the Temple, leaving the old thoughts thoroughly unable to surface!"

"So, at this moment, you do not need to be overly wary of Me!"

"Even if one day, disaster descends upon the Human Clan..."

"The willows of High Willow City, the old thoughts might suppress the new gods, uprooting to destroy the city!"

"The newly born Guardian God of Feng City might be vulnerable, obliterated by old thoughts!"

"Only My heart of guardianship can fully suppress old thoughts, protecting the Human Clan of this place!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "This opportunity is not given to you, but to Taixuan Divine Mountain!"

In an instant!

His eyes gathered with divine light!

An extremely complex rune instantly infiltrated Lin Yan’s forehead.

"..."

Lin Yan released his grip on the sword, not resisting the rune.

He closed his eyes slightly, after a moment, and asked, "Why can’t it be used?"

The Heavenly God King infused three God-breaking Mallets for him, filled with Divine Power.

But Lin Yan could call upon them anytime!

However, this rune is right on his forehead!

Filled with the Mountain God’s Mana, but Lin Yan couldn’t utilize it!

"When the time comes, you can use it."

The Mountain God said quietly, "Eat more fish..."

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

His palm felt slightly itchy.

The little White Ape murmured, "Eating fish boosts intelligence?"

The Mountain God’s gaze fell upon Lin Yan’s palm, "Monkey brains enhance intelligence more."

——

Outside the temple.

Lin Yan couldn’t comprehend what the Mountain God meant by his final words.

When the time comes, it can naturally be used?

How could eating more fish have any influence?

Does it relate to rivers and seas?

Or... is humanity too heavy, purely gluttonous, craving fish?

"Saint Master..."

The Observatory Commander of Yuan Shan City hurriedly approached and spoke in a low voice, "That Young Master Fu..."

"What happened?"

Lin Yan couldn’t help but ask.

The Commander spoke solemnly, "He’s severely injured, and something is not right."

"Injured?"

"Three ribs are broken, his left leg is fractured, his arm is dislocated, and he has coughed up blood six times."

"What? Who injured him?"

"Have yet to find the culprit."

"And the suspects?"

"Several..." the Commander hesitated, "a fish vendor, two small market officers, and a doctor at a medical clinic have all been apprehended."

"Are they hidden members of Tribulation Ash?"

"They are ordinary people without martial arts training."

"..." Lin Yan fell silent, "His cultivation isn’t low."

"Precisely why this is peculiar, and..." the Commander hesitated.

"What else is odd?" Lin Yan frowned.

"Twice when he spat blood, it clogged his nose and mouth, lasting half an hour. If not for his cultivation, any ordinary Martial Artist would have suffocated." The Commander explained, "We fetched a doctor from the city..."

"And then?"

"That doctor prescribed the wrong medicine."

"..."

"Poison was mixed into the prescription."

"Is this doctor also an ordinary person?"

"It seems, at present, not a member of Tribulation Ash. He might just be old and blurry-eyed, picking the wrong two herbs."

"Where is he now?"

"Right after the effect wore off, he had us fetch the Saint Master; before finishing his words, he bit off a section of his tongue. It was just reattached."

"..."

Lin Yan was stunned for a while.

The little White Ape murmured, "Master, could inheriting the Heavenly Mechanism Flag doom one to divine retribution? Fu Zhong hasn’t been seen for half a day and his situation has deteriorated this much?"

"Heavenly Mechanism Flag?"

Lin Yan suddenly looked up, glanced toward the sky, and said quietly, "The fact he hasn’t dropped dead on the spot already shows he’s incredibly fortunate."

"But it seems..."

The little White Ape murmured, "He seems more miserable than if he had died."

——

The Observatory.

Fu Zhong lay on a sickbed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Beside him was the Heavenly Mechanism Flag.

Yet he no longer dared randomly use the Heavenly Mechanism Flag.

Who knew what had happened?

All past Banner Masters of the Heavenly Mechanism were adept at avoiding misfortune and seeking fortune!

Why, when it comes to him, is there only bad luck, no fortune?

Having taken charge of the Heavenly Mechanism Flag for only a few days, he’s been subjected to backlashes constantly!

This time, he nearly lost his life!

No!

The backlash hasn’t yet passed!

This life of his might not be preserved!

He sighed.

Just with a single sigh, his innards churned, suddenly spewing forth a mouthful of blood.

He was in excruciating pain all over, injuries everywhere, and poisoned.

At this moment, he struggled but couldn’t move, the blood from his mouth and nose entirely blocking his breathing.

His face turned red from asphyxiation, continuously struggling.

Damn it!
