Chapter 757: Meng Shenji, Sheng Nü, Goddess

"Finally arrived at Tianzhu Shan."

Champion Marquis gazed into the distance at the mountain range of Tianzhu Shan; the peaks were truly like pillars, appearing to reach straight to the firmament, their height unknown, perhaps several thousand or tens of thousands of zhang.

The entire Tianzhu Shan carried a magnificent and vigorous aura, vast and incomparable, like an ancient Demon ox from mythology, lying prone there. The middle and upper layers were wreathed in clouds and mist, with waterfalls hanging down like ribbons of silk, vapor rising and swirling, the Qi dense and rich.

To search for an inconspicuous Divine Stone in such a great mountain was no different from looking for a needle in the ocean.

But Champion Marquis felt no worry.

With a slight movement of his mind, a majestic and vast fist intent surged into the sky.

In this world, the aura of a martial artist is also called fist intent.

Fist intent has an extremely strong impact on experts of Daoist arts, and can even tear apart and scatter their thoughts.

Boom!!

The fist intent of Champion Marquis was like a towering Divine Mountain, a vast ocean, the high firmament of the nine heavens, and the thick, boundless earth; it was so majestic and terrifying. At this moment, the fist intent covered everything below and spread out in all directions. Although the fist intent could not reach the level of "divine sense as eyes," it could still clearly distinguish and sense different geological features.

Very quickly, Champion Marquis discovered a strange stone buried deep underground.

"Divine Stone!?"

Champion Marquis revealed a look of joy.

This Divine Stone was buried deep underground, and precisely because of this, it had not been discovered by others.

Champion Marquis's expression shifted slightly, his gaze sweeping toward the ground. His majestic fist intent condensed, every inch of it turning into a force capable of cutting gold and breaking jade; amidst a booming sound, a tunnel opened in the ground, dust flying, as if reaching straight to the center of the earth.

A moment later, Champion Marquis beckoned with his hand, and a huge stone emerged from the deep tunnel.

Bang!

Before Champion Marquis lay a huge stone.

This stone was like raw jade; within its translucence, it carried the color of emerald, shimmering with a delightful radiance under the sunlight, looking exactly like an uncarved piece of jade.

It was over a person's height, egg-shaped, with several apertures on it. Counting carefully, there were nine in total.

Wisps of heat, like human breath, emerged from the apertures, making the entire Divine Stone seem like a living object.

These nine apertures were equivalent to the nine apertures of the human body.

However, this was not all; within the faint emerald-colored jade quality, one could vaguely see a flesh-and-blood embryo, as if it were a fetus in a womb.

It was just that this fetus was very large, the same size as a normal person.

Moreover, this fetus was inside the stone, and its heart was beating, emitting "thump-thump" sounds, displaying powerful vitality. Anyone could feel that within the body of this flesh-and-blood fetus, there was contained incomparable Qi and Blood.

This Qi and Blood was very powerful, actually not inferior to a Martial Saint, and it was still growing continuously.

"This fetus is a Human Immortal the moment it is born, and it can continue to cultivate and grow in the future; it truly has seized all the fortune of heaven and earth."

To be a Human Immortal at birth—such a powerful and terrifying existence would likely cause countless people's jaws to drop if spoken aloud.

The Human Immortal realm, in any era or any kingdom, is the peak of combat power, capable of dominating the world. What's more, this fetus could still grow; it is not impossible for it to shatter the vacuum in the future.

Historical records state that the ancient Sage Emperor 'Hong' popped out of a stone. There was also a fellow in memory called Sun Wukong who was the same; the creation of heaven and earth is truly magical. Or perhaps... they all had a very badass father.

"Hee hee, the legendary Champion Marquis is indeed blessed with great Luck, encountering one miraculous opportunity after another." Just then, a girl in yellow suddenly emerged from the void; though only fourteen or fifteen years old, she had already grown into a beauty capable of toppling cities, her skin translucent as snow, her pair of beautiful eyes seeming to contain infinite splendor and mystery, enough to stir the most beautiful fantasies in anyone.

"Champion Marquis has always been one to cherish the fair sex; he surely doesn't care about this Divine Stone, so why not give it to this little girl?"

As the girl flew toward the Divine Stone, from between her brows, a wisp of cold wind blew out, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a large bell shimmering with green light.

This large bell looked very ancient, as if cast from bronze. The moment it appeared, it carried a heavy, vast feeling, as if it were a supreme divine artifact capable of reversing the past, present, and future.

However, this bell was not a physical object, but an object visualized by the girl's spirit.

"Trying to pull a scheme on me? You don't know what death is."

Although the opponent was a girl who appeared young, Champion Marquis did not lower his guard, his eyes fixed firmly on the large bell.

The large bell not only had a heavy, vast aura, but also had many swimming inscriptions, profound and unfathomable, each character containing a deep meaning.

The characters swam on the bell, layer upon layer, as if chanting the past, present, and future.

Dang!

The large bell emitted a melodious chime.

The bell sound spread in all directions like ripples, stirring up layer upon layer of waves, and also echoed in Champion Marquis's ears.

At this moment, Champion Marquis felt as if his mind were completely suppressed by the bell sound and the characters, enveloping his entire body.

Unable to move, unable to think, unable to ponder; even every time he tried to turn a thought, there was a feeling of great difficulty.

"Hmph!!"

Champion Marquis let out a cold snort.

His Qi and Blood surged out violently, piercing straight into the high sky, the void trembling; he instantly broke free from the suppression of that bell and regained control of his body.

"Daoist arts of the Supreme Dao; so it is the Sheng Nü of the Supreme Dao. But did your Meng Shenji not teach you not to touch other people's things?" Killing intent flowed in the eyes of Champion; he was born with the aura of dominating the world—all the good things in the world are mine; I can give them to you, but you cannot snatch them, even if you are a beauty.

"Let me see what methods the Supreme Dao actually has."

The next moment, the Shangmang Divine Spear was in his hand, and he thrust it forward violently.

The girl in yellow, who had been about to collect the Divine Stone, was slightly startled; she was the contemporary Sheng Nü of the Supreme Dao. This Supreme Dao could be called the number one sect in the world; although their numbers were few, their influence was unparalleled, and their Sect Leader Meng Shenji had even killed an Emperor. What this Sheng Nü had just displayed was the famous "Bell of the Universe" of the Supreme Dao.

According to her thinking, no matter what, she should have been able to control Champion Marquis for a short time, but the opponent breaking free instantly was completely beyond her expectations.

At this time, the Sheng Nü of the Supreme Dao did not have time to think; a wisp of thought rose from between her brows, transforming into a nine-story pagoda. This nine-story pagoda was square; the moment it appeared, it seemed to shroud the four directions of heaven and earth, filling the infinite, and it pressed down violently toward Champion Marquis.

Unfortunately, this nine-story pagoda was too fragile, and it was instantly shattered into air currents by the Heaven Collapsing and Earth Splitting, one of the seven killing moves of the Shangmang Divine Spear.

The face of the Sheng Nü of the Supreme Dao turned slightly pale, and Champion Marquis had already arrived, wielding the Shangmang Divine Spear. His spear thrust was Wuqing; it looked like he really wanted to skewer this Sheng Nü with one strike.

Champion Marquis's eyes suddenly flashed, his sleeves rolled, and he took the Sheng Nü of the Supreme Dao and the Tianzhu Divine Stone, causing them to disappear at the same time.

A moment later, the clouds in the sky swirled, transforming into steps, descending onto the top of Tianzhu Shan. A figure stepped down the stairs formed by the condensed clouds.

This person wore a high crown and grand robes, his clothes moving without wind, as if drifting. He carried an aura that transcended everything; heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, all seemed to be bowing their heads to him, worshipping him.

His face carried a strange gentleness and approachability, as if anyone who saw his face would feel that he was a friend worth confiding in, an elder who could guide one's path in life.

Especially those eyes, which contained the beauty of the seasons and a love for all things in the world.

However, the owner of this pair of eyes is actually a ruthless existence who can slaughter all living beings in the world for the sake of the Dao in his heart, a peerless expert who has truly cultivated to the state of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions.

——Meng Shenji.

The number one person in the world, Meng Shenji.

This undisputed number one person in the world looked in the direction where the Champion Marquis had fled.

"This Champion Marquis is very interesting. Perhaps I can find time to talk to him; he might be more suitable to be the Qian Emperor than Yang Pan."

……

The Supreme Dao Sheng Nü Su Mu moved with lotus steps, walking step by step, but the distance of each step she took was more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

Only in this way could she keep up with the pace of the "Black Demon Qilin" in front.

"I was wrong." This Supreme Dao Sheng Nü was not much different in age from the Champion Marquis, but she was already refined and otherworldly, with an immortal aura, yet a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Sheng Nü, what wrong have you committed?"

The Champion Marquis sat on the Black Demon Qilin, his expression leisurely.

"I happened to catch sight of your figure, and hearing that the Champion Marquis had continuous fortuitous encounters, I developed evil intentions, followed you secretly, and waited for an opportunity to seize the treasure. Ending up like this is only to be expected." Sheng Nü Su Mu shook her head. A mass of majestic Qi and Blood had been injected into her body by the Champion Marquis; once the distance between the two exceeded one hundred zhang, that mass of Qi and Blood would immediately erupt if it could not be suppressed.

With the cultivation of Sheng Nü Su Mu, she would be severely injured if not killed.

"You are indeed wrong, but what you were wrong about was not the heart of greed."

"Oh?"

"That Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone was a Human Immortal the moment it was born, sweeping across the world. Faced with such a treasure, whoever has no greed is either a hypocrite or a Saint. The only thing you did wrong was being too weak, misjudging your own cultivation, and being defeated by my hands."

The Champion Marquis rode on the horse's back, speaking eloquently: "Strength and weakness are relative. I am stronger than you, but I am no match for Meng Shenji, so I can only hold you, this Sheng Nü, in my hands. At a critical moment, I can even throw you away to save my life."

"Others all say the Champion Marquis is arrogant and conceited, and promiscuous by nature, but I see that is not entirely the case..." Su Mu said faintly.

"Heh, being arrogant in front of Meng Shenji, this number one person in the world, I am not that stupid. As for you, Sheng Nü Su Mu, hehe, if it weren't for fearing Meng Shenji, you would have been finished off by this Marquis long ago." The Champion Marquis revealed a trace of lecherous intent.

Unlike the original Champion Marquis who had a strong possessiveness toward beauties, although this Champion Marquis was equally lustful, he could distinguish the priorities and knew what was what.

……

The Champion Marquis was not in a hurry to continue his journey, immersing his mind into the Divine Stone to connect with the fetus and imprint his own mark.

Time passed gradually, and the sky grew dark. Starlight rose over the grasslands, and the moonlight made the grass waves look like the clear ripples of a jade sea.

"This... this is..." The Sheng Nü, covered in dust from the journey, looked into the distance, her pupils shrinking, as if she had seen something that shocked her.

One must know that although she was not old, she was the Supreme Dao Sheng Nü; there were few things in this world she had not seen, and there were not many things that could surprise her.

"Following the Champion Marquis really brings continuous fortuitous encounters. Not long ago, I discovered a stone fetus on the Heavenly Pillar that was a Human Immortal upon birth, and now I have encountered a deity that has just formed."

The Champion Marquis also looked into the distance, seeing thousands upon thousands of tents.

That was a tribe, and this tribe of tens of thousands of people was not small on the grasslands.

And now, the men and women on the grasslands were all kneeling on the ground, worshipping a clay and stone sculpture. The sculpture was in the image of an extremely beautiful woman, and as the moonlight fell, this was a Moon Goddess.

The mortal eyes of ordinary people might not be able to perceive it, but what kind of figures were the Sheng Nü and the Champion Marquis? They faintly discovered a wave of momentum from the clay and stone sculpture.

This momentum was actually above that of the Shen Ying Wang, equivalent to an opponent who had passed the Thunder Tribulation.

"There were originally no Gods in this world; when more people believe, people's thoughts gather, and Gods and Buddha are born." The Champion Marquis looked at the Moon Goddess, his heart fluctuating slightly, and at the same time, a strong possessiveness arose.

In his harem, there was not yet a deity.

"Wait here." After the Champion Marquis instructed Sheng Nü Su Mu, his figure flickered and he instantly appeared in front of the sculpture, looking straight at that sculpture.

"Who are you? How dare you be disrespectful to the Goddess!?"

"Outsider, get out of here."

The Herdsmen were extremely angry, wanting to use stones to smash this blasphemer to death, use spears to pierce him to death, and use fists to beat him to death. However, as the aura of the Champion Marquis permeated, the surrounding space suddenly felt as if it had solidified, and a violent and domineering aura vented in all directions, as if the appearance of this person before them was to dominate all living beings.

Clatter!!

All the Herdsmen knelt down, sweating profusely, feeling as if every breath they took was a gift from this peerless hegemon.

"Moon Goddess, come out and speak." The Champion Marquis said calmly.

After a deathly silence, a wisp of mercury-like moonlight poured down from the firmament, fell into the air, and instantly formed a Goddess with cloud-like hair and ribbons, a crescent moon mark on her forehead, and eyes like crescent moons.

On this Goddess, faint wisps of silver light were scattered, like the Moon itself, and at the same time, a strong fluctuation radiated from her delicate body.

She looked at the man in front of her somewhat timidly.

She felt a terrifying aura from this man that was like a prison of divine power; this was a kind of pressure from the soul that made her unable to help but want to submit.

"Submit to me, and I will build countless temples for you, let hundreds of millions of people worship you, and let you become a God more powerful than the Yuan Qi Shen." The Champion Marquis stood with his hands behind his back, his whole person standing there like a Divine Mountain peak piercing the clouds, making people feel small when looking at him. The strong aura of possessiveness he radiated was undisguised.

"If you resist, I will only have to beat you into submission. A beauty like you, even if you were injured by a single hair, it would pain my heart. So, in order for this Marquis not to be so heartbroken, submit."
