Chapter 129: Sitting on the Mountain Watching the Tiger Fight

On the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain, deep in the clouds and smoke.

The contemporary Fire Persimmon Immortal City City Lord, Meng Kui, sat in the air. Surrounded by heavy twilight, smoke and clouds rose and fell.

His fingers pinched the finger formula, his mouth recited the incantation, and his magic power rose and fell like a tide, merging with the surrounding heaven and earth, echoing each other.

Meng Kui’s entire body radiated a faint green glow.

Such cultivation had been going on for eight or nine days.

Meng Kui slowly opened his eyes, and with a thought, took out a scroll from his storage belt.

The scroll flew in the air, unfolding with the wind, revealing its full appearance.

This was a frontal portrait of a person, with a square face, wearing armor, with battle flags on his back, majestic and fierce. On the mountain behind him, a sturdy colorful yellow tiger was drawn, standing on the mountain peak, roaring at the sky.

This person was Meng Kui’s clansman, the Nascent Soul-level body cultivator Meng Hu, one of the four famous generals of the Meng family.

The person who drew this painting was also very simple, named Han Xiongfeng, who was proficient in the art of painting among the hundred arts of cultivation, and was best at depicting fierce generals on the battlefield.

This scroll drawn by Han Xiongfeng according to Meng Hu was naturally extraordinary. It contained part of Meng Hu’s spirituality, representing part of Meng Hu’s talent and energy.

Meng Kui specifically sought this painting because such a scroll was the key to his spellcasting, indispensable.

Divine Ability—Sitting on the Mountain Watching!

For a time, Meng Kui released the divine ability he had been brewing for many days onto the scroll.

The scroll suddenly disintegrated, Meng Hu and the fierce tiger intertwined, leaving the scroll one after another, fighting each other, coming and going, fighting fiercely.

Clouds and smoke rolled, people and tigers blended with each other, sometimes people turned into tigers, sometimes tigers turned into people, unable to distinguish who was a person and who was a tiger.

The human and tiger phantoms collided left and right in the clouds and smoke, roaring repeatedly.

Sitting on the Mountain Watching—Tiger Fight!

The spell was cast.

In an instant, an invisible hurricane swept across the mountain top, sweeping the heavy clouds and twilight clean.

The human and tiger phantoms followed the clouds and smoke, dispersing to the Lava Immortal Palace, Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and even the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain!

Meng Kui’s face was pale, his throat rolled, and he spat out a small mouthful of blood.

A wisp of green hair in front of his forehead turned snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meng Kui had the talent of looking far from the mountain, which could suppress his own energy, observe the situation around him, and know it well. Relying on this talent, he cultivated the divine ability of Sitting on the Mountain Watching.

Sitting on the mountain can watch the wind and clouds, can watch the world, can watch the common people, and can also watch the dragon and tiger fighting, the world chasing the deer!

Meng Kui borrowed the human-tiger scroll, cast the spell, and created an energy field of sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight.

The energy field covered the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain, and the energy of all things in it was affected. In the next period of time, they would fight each other for various reasons.

The so-called tiger fight is naturally not a small fight, but a life-and-death fight!

In this way, the people in the game would fight each other, and their energy would drop significantly. Meng Kui’s energy remained unchanged, and relatively speaking, he would lead the way, forming a huge advantage in momentum.

He cast this method, naturally not for himself, but for his grandson Meng Chong.

Meng Chong was taken care of, and his energy was not affected by the energy field.

"Chong’er has been practicing hard these days and has mastered many spells."

"Also because of recuperation, his own energy has truly recovered."

"Plus my spellcasting this time, the Lava Immortal Palace is also affected. In this way, Chong’er will surely rely on the advantage of energy, go smoothly, and go all the way!"

City Lord Meng Kui looked at the overall situation and knew the changes in energy well.

The situation had developed to the present, and it was becoming more and more unfavorable for the City Lord’s Mansion.

On one hand, the three families of Zhou, Zheng, and Ning were united and pressing step by step; on the other hand, the repeated riots of the Lava Immortal Palace made Meng Kui confused. The third aspect was the early arrival of Zhu Xuanji and the mysterious disappearance of the black-clothed demon cultivators.

These made Meng Kui realize that measures must be taken to change this situation.

Sitting on the Mountain Watching the Tiger Fight was a spell he cast using divine ability combined with key pictures. The drawbacks were great, and it would reduce his lifespan, and it was absolutely impossible to use it often. But for this competition for the Lava Immortal Palace, for his beloved grandson, and for the overall situation of the Meng family, Meng Kui also fought hard.

Meng Chong didn't know his grandfather’s secret sacrifice. Since being defeated by the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, he had been practicing spells hard since he woke up.

Super talent—Rushing Thunder.

Spell—A wisp of gas.

The breath was accelerated, the shooting speed skyrocketed by a large margin, and it became a sharp attack spell in an instant.

Super talent—Rushing Thunder.

Spell—Ice-Holding Technique!

The cold air in Meng Chong’s arms sprayed everywhere, spraying his own face with frost.

He was shivering with cold.

Although the Ice-Holding Technique was cast, it was not matched well with the Immortal Talent. If it was cast in actual combat, and it didn't hurt the enemy but harmed himself, it would be funny.

The attendant advised from the side: "Young Master Meng Chong, time is up, it’s time to rest halfway."

Meng Chong nodded: "Okay, I know."

He temporarily put down the special training and walked to the field to rest.

If it were before, he would never do this, rushing forward with one heart, wishing to have results immediately.

But now, he understood the truth of relaxation and tension, and the current rest was to rush forward better!

The various hardships and setbacks he suffered not only trained his more excellent abilities, but also polished his temperament, making him more mature and more resilient.

The attendant treated Meng Chong while comforting him: "Young Master, you are already very successful."

"You know, the five elements of magic power must be split into water magic power to cast the Ice-Holding Technique. This is already quite troublesome."

"You also have to add the Immortal Talent, which makes the casting time extremely short, requiring extremely high proficiency to separate the water magic power, and then cast the Ice-Holding Technique."

"This difficulty is at least a hundred times harder than simply casting the Ice-Holding Technique!"

Meng Chong grinned, showing a mouth of white teeth: "Even if it’s a thousand times harder, I can overcome it and break it."

"In this world, there is no difficulty I cannot cross!"

Meng Chong was high in fighting spirit and full of confidence!

Ning Ze’s house.

Ning Zhuo put down the jade slip and fell into deep thought.

Ning Xiaoren sent several jade slips, the contents of which were all related to spirituality.

But most of them were common sense, not a great treatise like "On Spirituality", let alone any secret manuals.

Ning Xiaoren doing this was not a breach of promise.

Since he came in person to express his condolences to Ning Zhuo once, he had never come again, as if afraid that Ning Zhuo would make requests again.

There were two examples in the jade slips that left the deepest impression on Ning Zhuo.

One was the Four Seasons Natural Zither.

This was the town-sect spirit treasure of the Heavenly Sound Sect.

The Heavenly Sound Sect was a super sect, and its power influenced several cultivation countries.

The selection of the zither master of the Four Seasons Natural Zither was one of the most important affairs of the Heavenly Sound Sect. Because this level of spirit treasure was often the most important part of a cultivation force’s foundation and strength.

Once the selection was wrong, it would cause the sect’s strength to be reduced and a piece of turmoil.

To become the new master of the Natural Zither, competitors were required to compose music themselves and, with the help of the Natural Zither, perform four different pieces of music.

These four pieces of music had to correspond to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Competitors needed vigorous cultivation to move the strings of the Natural Zither. The music played needed to blend true feelings and conform to the essence of the four seasons to gain the recognition of the zither and finally become the new zither master.

And because the power of the spirit treasure was enormous, the sect cultivator who became the zither master often stepped into the sky in one step.

The second story was a long time ago.

It was one of the anecdotes about the great artifact refining master Lü Duan.

It is said that Lü Duan traveled the world and found a small country in a place that was struggling to resist the ravages of evil gods.

The cultivation small country was very small, the evil god was extremely powerful, but the country lord was kind and brave, deeply supported by the people, and united as one, barely maintaining balance.

Lü Duan pitied the innocent creatures, so he took action to design, and together with the country lord and others, finally successfully framed the evil god.

Lü Duan used this to create the Wind-Herding Whip, which was considered to have temporarily sealed the god.

Lü Duan gave the Wind-Herding Whip to the country lord and told him: The Wind-Herding Whip has not been truly refined! Only a truly refined Wind-Herding Whip can completely seal the god and gradually transform the god into the spirituality of the Wind-Herding Whip during the long use process later!

The country lord asked Lü Duan how to truly refine the Wind-Herding Whip.

Lü Duan said: Now is a critical period, and some things that conform to spirituality need to be done, so that the magic treasure can gradually control these spiritualities. For example, creating hurricanes, tornadoes.

The country lord tried to use the Wind-Herding Whip to create various big winds and strong winds.

At first, the effect was very good, but later the effectiveness dropped sharply, and it was too late to refine the Wind-Herding Whip, and the god was about to break the seal and escape.

Lü Duan had already left, and the country lord privately discovered: if you create a wind disaster and destroy the people’s living quarters, you can maximize the compliance with spirituality.

The country lord was very hesitant, but time waited for no one.

He made a painful decision: sacrifice the current people in exchange for the happiness and prosperity of the country in the future.

So he secretly waved the whip, created a wind disaster, killed a large number of people, and caused countless people to be displaced.

In the end, although the country lord successfully refined the Wind-Herding Whip, his actions were also discovered. He was imprisoned by the angry people, and the Wind-Herding Whip was lost.

Finally, the small country also perished.

"These jade slips didn't say it, but the truth should be the same."

"Summarize one point, that is, act in accordance with spirituality, so that spirituality can recognize the master, or spirituality can be refined."

"Reflecting on the mechanism creation, if I want to deepen the control of Yuan Dasheng, I have to do some things it wants to do."

"So, what would these things be?"

A slight anxiety arose in Ning Zhuo’s heart.

According to the content of "On Spirituality", spirituality will grow, with Spirit-Longing stage, Spirit-Moving stage, Spirit-Sensitive stage.

"If it passes this Spirit-Moving stage, will it lose the only good opportunity and never be able to completely control Yuan Dasheng again?"

Ning Zhuo mainly referred to the Wind-Herding Whip.

The refining of the Wind-Herding Whip requires compliance with the spirituality of the evil god.

This matter has a time limit.

Yuan Dasheng is likely the same!
