Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

On the top of Funiu Mountain, the energy of heaven and earth was so dense that it almost condensed into substance. Wisps of light floated in the air, covering everything like a veil.

Xu Chong sat cross-legged on a cushion, his body wrapped in a faint medicinal glow. Every inch of his skin was greedily absorbing the pure spiritual energy and medicinal power around him.

He closed his eyes tightly, but his brows were slightly furrowed, showing that his body was still suffering from some degree of pain and fatigue.

Jiang Yue stood quietly aside, his eyes focused, as steady as a rock.

He focused his eyes on his master Xu Chong, carefully observing every subtle change.

From Xu Chong's face turning as pale as paper, to his cheeks gradually regaining some color, to his breathing gradually becoming steady and long, Jiang Yue's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little bit.

The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which was the unique aroma emitted by the healing medicine, refreshing and refreshing, as if it could heal all pains.

Although Xu Chong's current condition was still far from his peak, at least he had gotten rid of the weakness that put his life on the line. His energy and blood began to recover strongly, and he was no longer as distressingly dying as before.

The worry that had been tense in Jiang Yue's heart was finally released slowly, turning into a barely perceptible sense of relief.

Time passed minute by minute, and the tranquility on the top of Funiu Mountain was broken by the occasional fluctuations of spiritual power, which was the resonance produced by the fusion of medicinal power and spiritual energy in Xu Chong's body.

After a long time, Xu Chong's tightly closed eyes finally slowly opened.

He took a deep breath, and his chest relaxed. The breath he exhaled carried a hint of turbidity, but also a hint of relief for having survived the disaster.

His gaze slowly moved away from Jiang Yue, and the fatigue in his deep eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of calmness and indifference after going through the ups and downs.

Xu Chong gently raised his hand and stroked his slightly painful forehead. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an apologetic smile, and he gently said to Jiang Yue: "Yue'er, I really made you worry this time."

His voice was a little hoarse, but it carried a reassuring power. "Although my master is not dead, he is indeed on the verge of exhaustion. I can barely hold on until now, which is already my limit."

Xu Chong's eyes were filled with a hint of fear and also a hint of relief. "Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise..."

Jiang Yue nodded silently without saying any words of comfort.

He just stood quietly by the side, silently waiting for his master Xu Chong to fully recover to his best condition.

Jiang Yue knew that the situation would become even more serious. The real battle might have just begun and it was far from time to relax.

Xu Chong took another deep breath, feeling the strength gradually filling his body, and slowly stood up.

He walked to a stone pillar carved with ancient runes, leaned against it a little weakly, and looked far away at the rolling mountains in the distance.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the mountains, giving the majestic mountains a layer of golden glow, but it cannot cover up the solemn and murderous atmosphere hidden therein.

After a moment of silence, Xu Chong turned around, his eyes passed over Jiang Yue's figure, as if he had penetrated through many layers of space, and asked in a deep and slow voice: "Since you have arrived safely, then tell me about the situation in Kyoto first."

His voice was filled with a subtle urgency and deep concern for the situation. "You traveled all the way from Heishan to Yunzhou and then to Kyoto. I believe you have already obtained a lot of important information."

Jiang Yue heard this and sorted out his thoughts for a while, then slowly spoke and told everything he had seen and heard along the way: "The original purpose of going to Kyoto this time was to escort the heir to the throne, and I also hope to take the opportunity to gain some experience there."

Jiang Yue paused for a moment, then recounted the entire journey.

After leaving Black Mountain, he passed through Lizhou, Qianzhou, and then returned to Xianshenxu, and then rushed back to Yunzhou without stopping.

I have never stopped or slacked off along the way.

"Before, I didn't really understand the true purpose of this Mountain-Driving Whip. I only knew it was a powerful magic weapon."

Jiang Yue's tone was filled with a hint of relief and a hint of fear. "But now it seems that the powerful force contained in the Mountain-Driving Whip is undoubtedly a huge help to me in this battle. It can even be said that if it weren't for the help of the Mountain-Driving Whip, I would not have been able to get to Yunzhou in such a timely manner, let alone stand out at such a critical moment."

Xu Chong nodded slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his deep eyes.

He could fully understand what Jiang Yue said, and he also knew that it was indeed a very rare opportunity for Jiang Yue to find the Mountain-Driving Whip.

Xu Chong was even more aware that in this battle that concerned the fate of Yunzhou and even the entire human race, the sudden appearance of the Black Mountain Giant was enough to prove that Jiang Yue's current strength had far exceeded the limits he could have imagined back then, and had even surpassed him as a master.

His voice became slightly deeper, as if he was back on the battlefield full of danger and flames of war. "At that critical moment, I knew that I had to act quickly with the force of thunder to turn the tide and save the situation."

Jiang Yue's voice was sonorous and powerful, with unparalleled confidence and domineering, "So, the Black Mountain Giant came into being, and with an unrivaled posture, it came to the battlefield with great force, helping me to defeat the menacing demon army in one fell swoop and temporarily repel the enemy."

Xu Chong listened quietly to Jiang Yue's narration, with a complex and incomprehensible look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something extremely important.

He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke in a serious tone, "Although Yunzhou has luckily gotten a chance to catch its breath this time and has temporarily stabilized the situation, this is only a stopgap measure. The power of the demon race is still extremely large and has a deep foundation. The situation in Yunzhou is far from being completely calmed down, and the road ahead is still full of thorns."

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement and responded solemnly, "Master, what you said is absolutely right. I know this very well. The next battle will probably become even more intense. The demons will never give up easily. They will definitely come back and launch an even more fierce attack again."

Xu Chong frowned tightly, his old face full of solemnity. He obviously realized the seriousness of the problem and the complexity and difficulty of the future situation. He fell silent again. The top of Funiu Mountain was quiet, with only the slightly heavy breathing of the two people echoing in the air.

After a long while, Xu Chong broke the silence and continued, "And... there is one more thing that you may not know. The battle line in Tieyi City is still in dire straits. The situation is more serious and complicated than you can even imagine."

Xu Chong's voice was low and slow, with a hint of fatigue and worry that was difficult to conceal. "The enemies that Tieyi City is facing are not just simple demons. Behind those demons, there are most likely some more powerful and terrifying forces hiding in the dark, manipulating and stirring up trouble."

Xu Chong's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and self-blame. "This is also the real reason why I have been tied down in Tieyi City and cannot get away to return to Kyoto and fight alongside you."

Jiang Yue's heart was suddenly shocked when he heard this. He keenly caught the subtle uneasiness and anxiety in Xu Chong's tone.

Jiang Yue immediately asked, "Master, what happened in Tieyi City? Why are you so worried?"

Xu Chong sighed deeply, his cloudy eyes flashing with complex light, and explained in a heavy tone: "Yunzhou has no more strength left and it is difficult to hold on."

Xu Chong's voice was filled with doubt and puzzlement. "Moreover, the battle tactics used by the enemies in Ironclad City are completely different from the demons we have encountered before. They seem to have more sophisticated commanders and more sophisticated battle plans. They are completely unlike some beasts that only know how to kill and be bloodthirsty."

Xu Chong frowned even more tightly. "I suspect that behind the Iron Clothes City demon army, there is most likely some more powerful and terrifying controlling force that is secretly pushing or even directly directing the demons' actions."

"In addition, the terrain in the Tieyi City area is extremely complex and rugged, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. This makes it difficult for our human reinforcements to provide timely and effective support, resulting in the Tieyi City front being in a stalemate. The two sides are deadlocked and it is difficult to make real breakthrough progress." Xu Chong sighed helplessly.

After listening to Xu Chong's story, Jiang Yue frowned tightly and his expression became extremely solemn.

He said in a deep voice: "If the situation is really so critical, then I'm afraid we must not take it lightly, and we must not focus all our attention on this corner of Yunzhou."

Jiang Yue's eyes were filled with worry. "Even if Yunzhou is temporarily stable, if the crisis in Tieyi City cannot be resolved in time, it will probably have an immeasurable negative impact on the war situation of the entire human race."

Xu Chong looked at Jiang Yue with a sad look in his eyes, nodded slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "That's right, I am worried about this matter and can't sleep or eat well."

He raised his head, looking at Jiang Yue with a hint of expectation and relief in his eyes, "You are able to rush back to Yunzhou in time this time, it is really just in time. If you can do your best to help us solve the dilemma of Tieyi City, then the next great battle between the human race and the demon race may truly usher in the hope of completely reversing the situation."

Jiang Yue's heart was shocked, and a heavy sense of responsibility arose spontaneously.

He looked at Xu Chong firmly, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Master, please rest assured. Your disciple Jiang Yue will do his utmost to assist you, turn the tide, and save the human race from danger!"

Hearing this, Xu Chong finally showed a long-lost smile of relief on his face. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

He looked at the disciple in front of him who had grown into a man who was capable of standing on his own, and his eyes were filled with pride and emotion.

Xu Chong said with relief: "Yue'er, you are no longer the child who was naive and ignorant and needed the protection of a teacher."

His voice was full of praise and affirmation. "Now you have surpassed my strength and are able to stand on your own. You can even turn the tide in this war that concerns the fate of the human race. Your achievements have far surpassed my imagination back then. I am deeply pleased and proud of you."

Jiang Yue raised his head, looked at Xu Chong with burning eyes, and said, "Fortunately, I have lived up to your trust."

The master and the disciple looked at each other silently. Where their eyes met, it seemed as if silent language was flowing, and they had thousands of words to express, but in the end, they all turned into unspoken trust and tacit understanding.

Although the smoke of the battlefield has temporarily dissipated, the air is still filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. The current situation is still confusing and undercurrents are surging. The real test may have just begun, waiting for the master and disciple to break through.

"There is no time to lose. What should we do now?" Jiang Yue broke the silence and asked in a deep voice. His tone was full of impatience and firm confidence in the future.

Xu Chong took a deep breath and said in a low but powerful voice: "The most urgent task is to break through the enemy's defense line in Tieyi City as soon as possible, go deep into the enemy's rear, and find out the mastermind hiding in the dark and controlling the demons. Only in this way can we fundamentally resolve the crisis in Tieyi City."

Xu Chong paused and continued, "Moreover, we must contact all human forces as soon as possible and gather all the forces we can to fight against the invasion of demons. Otherwise, this protracted war between humans and demons is likely to become more complicated and unpredictable."

There were no more extra words between the master and the disciple, and there was no need for extra words.

Because they all know clearly that a more arduous battle is about to begin, and the heavy responsibility and glorious mission will drive them, the master and the apprentice, to move forward without hesitation towards a new journey full of thorns and challenges.

All of this will be decided and led by them personally, and they will use their wisdom and strength to create a brand new future for mankind.

Several remnants of the defeated army who fought bloody battles in Tieyi City and managed to break through the siege by chance, finally arrived in Yunzhou after going through untold hardships. They brought Yunzhou the latest battle report of Tieyi City's precarious situation, as well as a glimmer of hope.

But most of the troops in Iron City are still trapped in the siege, isolated and helpless, and in an extremely dangerous situation. It is conceivable that the Beast God Cult will never give up easily and will certainly take more crazy actions to completely destroy the last resistance of the human race in Iron City.

However, for Jiang Yue, whose strength is now far superior to what it used to be and who possesses the ability to destroy the world, the demon crisis in Tieyi City is no longer an insurmountable problem.

His eyes were full of confidence and pride, and a strong desire to fight was burning in his chest.

"Master, let's set off immediately! We will go to Tieyi City, completely wipe out the demons, and save the thousands of people in Tieyi City from the dire straits!" Jiang Yue said excitedly, his voice echoing like thunder on the top of Funiu Mountain.

Xu Chong looked at Jiang Yue with relief and nodded heavily.

"Okay! Let's go!" (End of this chapter)
