I just became a Purple-robed Celestial Master and a Thousand year old Fox spirit wants to enter my bridal chamber - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Meeting the Local Mountain Deity, Why Not Kneel?

“Poor Taoist cultivation came a bit late, ashamed before our Ancestor,” Zhang Beixuan sighed.

He was speaking the truth. He had only begun his practice a week ago.

Isn’t that quite late?

Lin Xiaoxiao stared fiercely at the Versailles-wearing Zhang Beixuan, indicating that she no longer wanted to speak with someone like him.

Zhang Beixuan didn’t know the specific divisions of realms, but she did. These were classifications established by the Mysterious Affairs Bureau!

Among cultivators, there were stages: Initiate, Qi Refinement, Elemental Condensation, Sea of Qi, Innate, and Fate-Knowing!

For Malevolent Spirits and Supernatural Beings, there were: F-grade Vengeful Souls, E-grade Malevolent Spirits, D-grade Fierce Ghosts, C-grade Specters, B-grade Ghost Generals, and A-grade Ghost Kings!

It was universally accepted that among peers,

Cultivators ranked higher than Supernatural Beings. She was currently only at the late stage of C-grade regarding combat power.

Already a captain in a city!

In the Mysterious Affairs Bureau, that was considered pretty good. But there was no comparison compared to the Zhang Beixuan in front of her…forget it. He was a Dragon and Tiger Celestial Master.

The Daoist Supreme!

Being a tad stronger was perfectly normal. It took several moments for Lin Xiaoxiao to finally exhale and look at the group.

“The conversation tonight is classified as Level A Confidential. If leaked, execution on the spot!”

Someone of Innate level!

And a Daoist Celestial Master, no less!

That was enough to warrant top-level secrecy!

If this information were to leak, it could cause quite a stir! Even though the Great Xia appeared peaceful on the surface, plenty of devious individuals lurked in the shadows!

Just like the Buddhist sect!

The Mysterious Affairs Bureau certainly knew about their ambitions. Still, they had been left untouched due to their status as a religious sect in the Great Xia and the current resurgence of the supernatural!

There were some foreign organizations and powers. If they were to find out that the Great Xia had produced such a monstrous figure, they would undoubtedly spare no effort to eliminate him before he reached his peak!

The members of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau all had grim expressions. They understood the gravity of the situation.

“Yes,” Zhou Mingyue secretly felt fortunate that she had ended her livestream early.

Otherwise, she might not even know how she would have died. Zhang Beixuan smiled faintly, showing little concern for it all. With the system at his side, he would likely break through to the Innate Advanced stage today and maybe even surpass it in a couple of days.

Combined with his mastery of high-level Daoist arts, unless someone was above the Innate realm, daring to challenge him would be like taking on Grandpa Gourd and the Watermelon Brothers.

“Hmm?”

Just as the group was still feeling uneasy, Zhang Beixuan’s gaze shifted in a particular direction. A terrifying aura was slowly gathering.

“Found it!”

Zhang Beixuan raised an eyebrow and moved towards the direction he was looking at. The group followed for over a minute, suddenly finding themselves in a completely different environment. Everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment. In front of them lay an enormous platform. On the platform, dozens of young, beautiful figures lay unconscious, bound in place. Near these girls was a blood-red altar, towering several meters high.

On the altar…

A massive statue of a mountain god stood there, radiating an aura that surpassed everything they had encountered on their journey.

“These are the missing students!” Lin Xiaoxiao instantly recognized their identities upon seeing the girls.

Suddenly, the statue of the mountain god, which had appeared as just a sculpture, opened its eyes wide. At the same time, a divine light erupted from the statue’s face.

“Have you not knelt before the local mountain god?”

The voice sounded like a divine whisper, resonating throughout the entire cave. An overwhelming sense of oppression filled the air as if it could magnify the fear and reverence in one’s heart infinitely. The members of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau felt dazed, their expressions becoming blank. At that moment, they felt like a genuine deity was watching them. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, and their legs bent as if they were about to kneel.

“Is it really a god… Celestial Master, have we made a mistake?” Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Beixuan beside her, her voice trembling. However, she quickly realized that Zhang Beixuan was no longer there.

“Celestial Master?”

She was astonished to discover that Zhang Beixuan had disappeared from his original spot.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced ahead in the dark corridor and saw that in Zhang Beixuan’s hand, a golden hammer had materialized from the condensed light. He swung it towards the massive mountain god statue.

“Mountain god? Mountain, your mom’s god!”

With a loud crash, the mountain god statue was obliterated. As the statue shattered, every person present suddenly snapped out of their previous daze. After coming to their senses, they all broke into cold sweats. The scene they had just experienced was incredibly terrifying. They had all been mentally controlled in the blink of an eye, completely losing their ability to resist. As the mountain god statue burst open, a figure crashed into the ground. It was initially furious.

“How dare you! Mere mortals dare to attack the local mountain god!”

However, after saying this, it looked around in confusion, as if it hadn’t quite realized how it had suddenly emerged from the statue. Then, it saw a young Daoist standing in front of it.

Somewhat disappointed, Zhang Beixuan remarked, “So, it’s just a mountain demon. Daoist me thought it was something more.”

While it was beyond conventional reasoning, it was within their expectations.
