Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

Li Yuan leaned against the inn's door, also covered in a cold sweat.

The innkeeper, who had transformed into a monster, lunged at them, but Li Yuan, wielding the Fu Shang Sword, casually slapped him away.

He peered through the crack in the door, but all he saw was still pitch black.

"This place is truly terrifying."

Li Yuan sighed softly.

He was, after all, a deity, a fifth-rank deity.

Among the immortals and gods of this mortal realm, he can be considered a 'mid-to-high-end powerhouse'.

With the Heavenly Qi and the Fushang Sword in hand, he can be compared to a 'high-level expert' among the immortals and gods of the mortal world.

But we only stayed in the town's darkness for about fifteen minutes.

He almost died!

Li Yuan believed that both the clawed monster and the unknown monster that had quietly touched the hem of his clothes had the ability to kill immortals and gods.

At the same time, Li Yuan also felt deeply sorry for the escape of the vengeful ghost in the coffin.

We finally managed to meet, but we couldn't stay.

From now on, that thing will probably be even more cautious.

They might even go into hiding before they have the confidence to resist the Fushang Sword.

It would be even more difficult to nip that in the bud in time.

Li Yuan frowned, casually swatted the monster boss who was lunging at him again, and headed upstairs.

Soon, he kicked the tall, thin waiter monster away and returned to his room.

Compared to the things in the darkness outside, Li Yuan felt that the monsters in this inn seemed quite 'harmless'.

Of course, this applies to him as he possesses the Fushang Sword.

For those extraordinary people and eccentrics in the mortal world, they are an extremely terrifying existence.

Even the other immortals and gods would try their best to avoid the monsters that the people in the inn had turned into.

The room remained quiet.

The scriptures covering the walls shimmered with faint light.

Transform its inner space into a pure land, where no evil spirits can invade.

Li Yuan glanced at the scriptures on the wall, and felt...

Some of the words felt somewhat familiar.

"Prajna..."

Li Yuan tried hard to identify it, but the more he looked, the more headache he got.

Even the immortal's body was trembling.

It felt as if his celestial body's instincts were preventing him from exploring.

Li Yuan shook his head slightly, not wanting to touch this unknown taboo any further.

only......

He involuntarily made some connections.

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck my mind!

An ancient, fallen 'evil spirit'.

A place where eerie people gather.

Gods, humans, demons, and monsters coexist in one place, following the same rules. It's a bizarre concept of 'equality for all beings'.

An unknown, pristine white bone ring.

Scriptures for driving away demons.

besides......

The clawed monster wore a string of black beads on its wrist.

Li Yuan took a deep breath.

His face became a little ugly.

If it is truly as he suspects, then the cause and effect here is probably quite terrifying.

It's no wonder that the Heavenly Court has such a subtle attitude towards this place.

It seems to be indifferent, but it has never allowed the immortals and gods to disappear from this place.

The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more convinced he felt that there must be something terrifying about this place.

Was the celestial demon imprisoned in the North Sea truly just a prisoner?

Perhaps... he's also a guard?

What are we guarding? That dead 'evil spirit'?

Li Yuan's mind was in a bit of a mess.

At this moment, an unseen force also appeared, interfering with his thoughts.

They began to guide him to speculate about the matter.

It's as if some entity wants him to remember this.

It even spread.

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. To avoid certain taboos, Li Yuan directly dismissed these thoughts and returned to calm.

"The more you speculate, the easier it is to get involved."

Li Yuan sensed the retreat of that mysterious power and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was almost influenced by some force and fell into some kind of madness.

In other words, they were almost brainwashed by a mysterious force.

'As expected of them, their brainwashing methods in another world are terrifying.'

Li Yuan was slightly startled and even avoided mentioning it.

He cleared his mind of distractions and began to silently recite the mantra for calming the mind, thus strengthening his resolve.

Above the nine heavens.

Divine light filled the sky, and celestial radiance shone brightly.

Lingxiao Palace.

The Heavenly Emperor, with a dignified expression, glanced slightly at the floating image before him and nodded gently.

"This kid, at least he didn't fall at the first hurdle."

Beside him stood Laozi, his posture serene and his face benevolent.

"Your Majesty, do you really want him to come into contact with the Heavenly Demon?"

"I think it might be a bit too early."

The Heavenly Emperor's gaze flickered slightly, but his expression remained calm.

"He always needs a 'senior' to guide him."

"Otherwise, how can you make up your mind?"

Lao Tzu gently stroked his whisk:

"Once these two meet, many things will probably change."

The Heavenly Emperor spoke with an air of authority: "It's alright."

"These three realms should have changed long ago."

......

In the days that followed, Li Yuan stayed obediently in his room every night.

He sensed a certain aura emanating from his body, but he couldn't get rid of it.

The innkeeper and waiter acted as if nothing had happened during the day, continuing to serve the guests.

It seems I've completely forgotten what happened last night.

Li Yuan didn't bother to investigate the strangeness of it.

This was part of the town's eeriness, and he now felt a sense of unease, not wanting to get involved.

The day before the day of departure arrived.

Li Yuan received an invitation from the beautiful goddess in purple.

It was said that several immortals and gods had a small gathering to discuss some matters.

Taking advantage of the bright daylight, Li Yuan left home early.

Several immortals and gods agreed to meet at a restaurant.

The people in the restaurant were also somewhat dazed, but this posed no threat during the day.

Li Yuan was the last to arrive.

Of course, nothing dramatic happened.

Since everyone here is a deity or immortal, and there's no major grudge between them, they're being quite polite.

However, Li Yuan was somewhat surprised to find that among these immortals and gods, there was actually an 'old acquaintance'.

“Anshan Li Yuan, it’s been more than ten years since I last saw you, and you have already been promoted to the fifth rank.”

"That's an astonishing speed..."

An old immortal with a weathered face, leaning on a green wooden staff, chuckled softly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The five or six immortals standing nearby were slightly startled:

"You two seem to know each other?"

They hesitated slightly over a certain idea in their minds.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded at them, then turned his head and cupped his hands in a toast with the aged immortal.

"Great Immortal Lin Mu... hasn't he also made a lot of progress?"

The immortal before me was none other than the Great Immortal Linmu, who had aided the Heavenly Cloud Mountain God in the Battle of the Mountain.

The one who was inexplicably angered to the point of breaking down after being unleashed the Heavenly Gang Righteous Qi by Li Yuan.

A smile flickered across the aged face of the Forest Immortal:

"Alas, I've only taken a small step forward; how can I compare to your impressive progress, young friend Li Yuan..."

"Also, I was just exaggerating back then."

"Actually, I am merely one of the eighteen subordinate immortals who govern the forests; I cannot be called a true great immortal, haha..."

Seeing that he meant no harm, and considering that they might need to travel together again, Li Yuan exchanged a few polite words in return.

"Then you are a senior, so addressing you as 'Great Immortal' is a sign of respect..."

The old man immediately grinned from ear to ear.

The moment he saw Li Yuan, he thought Li Yuan would give him the cold shoulder because of the past, bring up old stories, and embarrass him.

Looking at it now, they were actually quite polite.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, giving and receiving gifts.

Let's chat for a bit and showcase our traditional skills.

Half an hour later, the eight immortals, including Li Yuan, finally got to the point.

A beautiful woman in purple robes, her face veiled by a light gauze:

"Gentlemen, we need to discuss this matter of going to sea to seek opportunities."
