Chapter 361: Chapter 358 I’m Coming to Chase You!

Wang Yuan had already made his way to "Pengxuan Grotto Heaven" with ease, as if returning to his own home.

Thanks to the popular and cost-effective project of Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, he had met many previously elusive Nine Soldiers Immortal Officers, and his connections were expanding daily.

In fact, there was a well-known yet unspeakable reason behind the battle of Beimang Mountain, where he was the puppet master.

The great name of [Star Lord Taibai] was already well-known among the Nine Soldiers.

Bang!

The door of [Wanxiang Hall], made entirely of bronze and heavily ornamented, emanating an ancient aura, opened once again.

Huang Wu, Qingyan, Long Shao, and Nie Renxiong entered one by one through the [Body-Shining Treasure Mirror].

The prerequisite for joining the [Nine Soldiers] was not based on background but on Daoist ability and [Yin Morality].

As long as one’s Daoist ability exceeded the realm of a Yin God and their Yin Morality surpassed one hundred thousand, it posed no problem, even if they were a mixture of ghosts and monsters.

Especially after the recent battle at Mang Mountain, each had accrued a substantial amount of [Yin Morality].

Huang Wu, the instigator who directly triggered the battle, naturally did not fall behind.

With her original reserves, her [Yin Morality] was already close to the two hundred thousand mark.

But compared to Long Shao, who had been an Auspicious God of Fortune for decades and averted a catastrophic disaster in the Turbid River Basin, and Qingyan, who had lived for over a thousand years with substantial accumulation, it was nothing.

The [Yin Morality] of these two True Dragons had already exceeded a million, far surpassing the initial Wang Yuan.

When the [Body-Shining Treasure Mirror] vibrated intensely, the two guarding [Corpse Dissection Immortals] immediately focused their attention on it.

One was the [Great Fate] from the Dou Department, and the other was the [Victorious Fighting King] who governed the "God of Good and Evil Department."

At that moment, both [Corpse Dissection Immortals] were impressed by the reaction of the [Body-Shining Treasure Mirror].

They silently blamed Taibai for not being considerate enough to have led the newcomers to meet them beforehand.

They missed the chance to recruit early.

During the "Heavenly Register" process, the first consideration was the compatibility with the divine position, followed by the individual’s intentions, making it a mutual selection process.

In this selection, where the newcomers would gravitate towards among the Nine Divisions Immortal Officials was naturally up for manipulation.

Those guided by someone usually leaned towards a particular group and were pulled into familiar camps.

For instance, everyone from the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao" invariably went to the [Thunder Department].

But those loose practitioners with a variety of Daoist skills who joined were unclear about the divine positions, and typically, they would have their affiliations passively determined after choosing their position.

However, there were many overlaps within the [Nine Divisions Immortal Officials], which allowed for high manipulability.

For example, within the [Dou Department], the Tail Fire Tiger, the Room Fire Pig, the Root Fire Monkey, and the Winged Fire Snake, clearly Star Officials, were actual Gods of the [Fire Department].

Similarly, the Xingxiu members Ji Water Leopard, Wall Water Lizard, Shen Water Monkey, and Zhen Water Worm had taken up roles in the [Stepping Rain and Rising Clouds Department].

The [Dou Department] was indeed a conflict zone.

One wanted to poach, the other refused to allow it, and then the two [Corpse Dissection Immortals] began "clashing" with their gazes.

Wang Yuan, hearing the noise overhead, merely shook his head.

"The meat is already stewing in the pot."

Although he also knew that the Nine Soldiers divisions were desperately short-staffed and the [Corpse Dissection Immortals] from each division offered commissions for recruitment,

The price in the Dou Department was roughly five thousand for a [Yin God] and twenty thousand for a [Yellow Seal], which was considered another potential source of wealth.

But Old Master Wang was not short of money at the moment.

He had already instructed Huang Wu and the others not to worry about which division to consider and instead choose the divine position that best suited their own compatibility.

Moreover, if his guesses were correct about those positions of Yin Department Ghost Gods,

In the future, it would likely turn out that: whether your people or his people, all would belong to Old Master Wang!

Inside the [Wanxiang Hall].

The four found themselves amidst vast, boundless mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, colorful clouds, and constellations...

After exchanging glances, they transformed their Yin Gods into four giant fish and plunged into the sea of mountains.

Nie Renxiong’s target was most definite; he instantly burrowed underground and headed to the Underworld Yin Department.

Not only did he want to take up a position in the "Yin Department Ghost Department," but he also intended to check on behalf of Wang Yuan what was happening with those statues immersed in the San Tu River.

Driven by instinct, Huang Wu, Qingyan, and Long Shao surged into the clouds together.

Time swiftly passed.

Wood Element True Dragon Qingyan fell into the star river which served as both the headquarters and the big camp of the XX and celestial constellations.

With barely any resistance felt, she first secured her own divine position.

[Heavenly Department Divine Position · Azure Dragon East Dou Star Lord] — the lord of the Seven Stars of the East, one of the Four Celestial Spirits, the "Azure Dragon"!

In charge of spring, wood, the east, and scale worms spanning three hundred sixty.

The positions of gods fixed, the officers of immortals fluid — it was unknown how many had held the role of Azure Dragon before her.

The second was Long Shao, who in the "Stepping Rain and Rising Clouds Department," secured one of the Four River Dragon Kings [Heavenly Department Divine Position · Turbid River Dragon King].

Opposed to the Disaster Face’s personification [River God], represented by the [One-Eyed Stone Man], it seemed he was set for a showdown to the end.

Additionally, in the "God of Good and Evil Department," he secured the [Heavenly Department Divine Position · Grain God].

In the phrase "state of the nation," where "society" refers to the land deities, "ji" refers precisely to the God of Five Grains.

It was apparent that the weight of this divine position was also the best commendation for Long Shao, the former Blessed Earth God.

Although it differed from Wang Yuan’s initial expectations of the Agriculture God and Grain God.

But the two True Dragons now held divine positions that fully satisfied their research needs for high-yield crops.

Three Heavenly Department Divine Positions along with "Friend of Dual-Use Military and Civil Talent" and the predictive Calamity Butterfly, would certainly spark the ignition of this era!

The two were progressing smoothly, but Huang Wu encountered a bit of trouble.

She too had entered the celestial river above the clouds.

However, unlike her mother, she didn’t arrive in the neutral area where divine positions were yet to be claimed.

Instead, she found herself in the particularly glaringly polluted starry sky on the opposite side!

It was as if a piece of paper had been splattered with colored dyes, where the vibrant colors mixed together, forming a kind of disgustingly filthy mess.

Swimming through this star river, the stars beside her flickered, akin to the bloodshot eyes of a monstrous beast, incessantly blinking at her.

The light they emitted felt like moldy, nauseating fungal filaments on her skin.

Huang Wu seemed to intuitively feel a damp, slimy chill.

Including the two increasingly close suns and Taiyin at the center, protected by stars, their surfaces also developed unsightly spots of black and yellow, or gray and white.

They were continuously being eroded and activated by the power of the Killing Tree.

Even though the process of erosion was slow, it was persistently unwavering.

Once enough power accumulated for successful activation, they would likely become terrifying Heavenly Officials on par with the Corpse Dissection Immortal!

Not until she slowly landed on a relatively clean, still uncontaminated stretch of lunar soil.

She saw a massive Moon Laurel Tree, laden with numerous flowers and a dozen silver fruits.

Reaching out, she gently touched the trunk of the Moon Laurel Tree, and information naturally flowed into her heart.

It also allowed her to grasp the general situation of this great Taiyin star, making her exclaim:

"Most starry divine positions only have one, but the moon truly deserves its Taiyin title, having derived so many divine positions!"

Although there is but one moon, its authority is too immense, currently unclaimed by anyone alone, with various powers still in a state of division.

Mainly these include:

Taiyin, opposite to the sun, a collective of all Yin forces between heaven and earth;

Derived from the monthly cycle of waxing and waning, and similarly, the woman’s menstrual cycle, comes "Fertility," representing reproductive power;

Because of the Undying Elixir and the cycles of Ying and Yang, comes "Death and Rebirth," plus "Marriage," "Frost Snow," "Reunion"...

Thus, it derived numerous divine positions, with the highest being the Star Lord Taiyin in the Heavenly Department.

From Star Lord Taiyin down, there are also "Moon Lady," "Moonlight Bodhisattva," "Moon Essence · Jade Rabbit," "Moon Essence · Moon Toad," "Moon Essence · Moon Laurel."

"Elder Moon," "Moon Charioteer" (the god who drives the moon chariot), "Qingnv" (Frost Snow), "Doumu Taiyin," "Moon Virtue Noble"...

When Huang Wu saw the word "Jade Rabbit" on the Moon Laurel Tree, her brow involuntarily furrowed.

Her mind couldn’t help but recall the scene glimpsed during her breakthrough in the Yin God Realm in the Desert North, the blood-filled mouth of the rabbit eating something unknown on the moon.

It was this unexplained palpitation that made her immediately gesture towards the fruit representing the unclaimed divine position on the tree.

One of them, most compatible with her, transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman in a red bridal gown, landing directly onto Huang Wu.

—Earth Department Immortal Official Doumu Taiyin!

One of the 92 auspicious gods of the Dou Department, an image of the concubine, governing marriage and moonlight.

Although only part of the Earth Department, its potential was far greater than many in the Heavenly Department. After all, if her Taoist abilities were to grow in the future, it wasn’t completely hopeless to vie for the position of Star Lord Taiyin.

However, just as Huang Wu unhesitatingly rose into the air, about to leave the Taiyin star,

she suddenly saw two black dots, one large and one small, one chasing and one fleeing, flying quickly from the other side of the moon.

"What is this...!"

Her pupils instantly narrowed.

Because she unexpectedly saw that white rabbit with blood still wet around its mouth, clearly the Jade Rabbit from the moon.

She could also see clearly what it was relentlessly pursuing, another Moon Essence — the Moon Toad!

While the young ghost was shockingly surprised, the rabbit pounced and bit into the Moon Toad, which seemed to have been fleeing for a long time.

With a leg still kicking outside the Jade Rabbit’s mouth, it began to chew voraciously, and fresh blood dripped down the corners of its mouth.

Turning its head to look at Huang Wu, who stole away a divine position while it was busy hunting the Moon Toad,

it flashed her a bloody grin, its crimson eyes clearly conveying a message:

"Run fast! I’m coming after you!"

Huang Wu couldn’t help shivering.

"This indicates that the divine positions on Taiyin star have been activated and transformed into the ’Weird’!

The one just devoured was the Moon Toad, but who was the first one eaten by the Jade Rabbit?"

She suddenly turned her head back to look at the Moon Laurel Tree, where four stalks represented four fallen divine positions.

Apart from them, the one missing seemed to be... Chang’e!
