Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1444: Chapter 536: Reversed Stone Rain (Part 2)

A painting, after appearing, continued to grow wildly, obscuring the daylight and stretching endlessly.

A vast and majestic air of death streamed out from the painting.

Zhou Xuan raised his hand and pointed. In the Mountain and River Map that spanned the Heavenly Dome, the Nine Mansions began to descend.

This painting contains mountains and rivers, as well as the Nine Prefectures of Jing Country.

When one mansion descends, it carries a power of ten percent; when two descend, the force multiplies several times over.

Now that the Nine Mansions are sinking, the power contained within rises exponentially.

"How can this be just the Nine Mansions? This is a bright star."

Zhao Wuya stared at the magnificent sight, unable to hide his captivation.

Controlling the Prefecture City to descend from the Mountain and River Map requires the Incense Fire Level,

One stick of incense can only guide one mansion to descend,

Two sticks naturally can guide two mansions,

Zhou Xuan’s previous Incense Fire Level was not high, and he had never simultaneously wielded the power of the Nine Mansions.

Now, after the Divination by the Nuo God, he is infinitely close to nine sticks of incense; with a bit of brute force, he can just manage to make the Nine Mansions descend together.

Zhao Wuya felt as if a vast star was radiating colorful halos, continually falling towards Lotus Mountain.

How can ordinary people withstand the might of the Nine Mansions? As they neared several hundred meters of Lotus Mountain’s cemetery, the three Tomb Guardians, including Old Cat, were already prostrated by the pressure.

The sound of their bones, small "crackling" noises, was filled within their skeletons.

The cracking sound of bones was not loud, but it was lively, with every bone in their bodies responding.

Old Cat wanted to cry out for help, but his throat was also compressed, as if a stone was stuck in his throat, unable to make any sound.

"Master, save me... Master, save me..."

Such thoughts of asking for help could only stay trapped within Old Cat’s heart. It was like being submerged under water, able to faintly see the outside world but with life continuously fading.

Just when he despairingly wanted to close his eyes, Zhou Xuan threw out a folded fan.

The folded fan opened with a "puff" above the three, dispersing the might of the Nine Mansions and carving out a small haven for them.

Old Cat immediately felt relief, sitting up and gulping in air.

After calming down, Old Cat cupped his hands towards Zhou Xuan: "The Immortal Master truly doesn’t deceive; having said he’ll take care of our lives, he surely will."

He now completely admired Zhou Xuan—this Zhou Xuan, with the grand Nuodai close to nine sticks of incense, was indeed unlike other masters, treating even the lives of ants as precious.

The Nine Mansions continued descending,

That Hundred-eyed Child, who transformed into space, also felt a dangerous momentum. He realized something and shouted at Zhou Xuan, leveraging the mountain wind,

"Zhou Xuan... you truly are a cold-blooded person."

"Shifting the subject again?"

"To slay me, you are willing to bury the entire Lotus Mountain?" The Hundred-eyed Child said gloomily: "This kind of power can crush me to death, but also every person in Lotus Mountain."

Zhou Xuan chuckled lightly, completely ignoring the Hundred-eyed Child.

"To kill me, you’d slaughter over ten thousand people in Lotus Mountain—compared to being ruthless, we Buddha Country people truly are less cruel than you Jing Country folks."

"We Buddha Country are all great kind souls."

"Noisy."

Zhou Xuan, with hands behind his back, looked up at the Nine Mansions getting closer to the summit of Lotus Mountain,

His fingers twitched slightly, seemingly calculating something...

...

All exits of Lotus Mountain were guarded by Ping Shui You Shen, Yun Ziliang, and others, with Lord Jian and Lord Jiu overseeing.

Gradually, Lord Jiu could no longer contain his temperament, feeling the ever-strengthening force of the Nine Mansions.

Even he, an Incense Fire Disciple of Sitting Eight and Looking Nine, was involuntarily put into a defensive stance by the pressure—every muscle in his body taut, every hair standing on end, ready to launch the fiercest attack against danger at any moment.

If even he was feeling this way, no need to mention the plight of the ordinary people in Lotus Mountain.

"Does Mr. Zhou just let the Nine Mansions descend, unafraid of crushing the mountain’s folks into smithereens?"

Lord Jiu was burning with anxiety.

However, the Eternal Life Sect Leader, on the contrary, was in a face of intoxication, saying: "Thinking of dealing with the Buddha Country Lord, Master Zhou is willing to put beings through hell, I feel a suffocating beauty."

"Do you think Mr. Zhou is a pervert like you?"

Li Changxun cursed and then showed the intention of heading towards the mountain, Lord Jiu also thought of entering the mountain.

And at this moment, Lord Jian walked out from the Time-Space World, carrying the Divine Bow.

"Old Arrow, you’re finally here."

Lord Jiu asked, "I’m worried about Mr. Zhou’s situation changing, I want to go into the mountain to have a look."

"No need to look." Lord Jian said.

"The descent of the Nine Mansions is no small matter, there are folks living in Lotus Mountain."

Lord Jiu, with a gentle temperament and having routinely visited the government to see his good disciples, was more concerned about the livelihood of Ping Shui Prefecture’s people.

He was now transformed into an unfeeling abacus, saying seriously to Lord Jian,

"There are over sixty hunters in the mountain, three large village heads, totaling over eight thousand people, and near the Lotus Temple, scattered vendors selling incense and yellow paper, numbering several hundred,",

In the temple, there are also long-term residents, nearly several hundred as well. Adding these scattered groups together, there are nearly ten thousand people. If these more than ten thousand people were crushed to death by the Nine Mansions, what a huge sin."

"Do not enter the mountain."

Lord Jian said: "I am here precisely to prevent you from going into the mountain. Since Mr. Zhou has ordered us to seal the mountain, we should just guard the mountaintop and not create additional problems."
