Chapter 1233: Monarch Godhood Breakthrough
‘Ai. Breaking through to monarch godhood is going to be really difficult. I spent a huge amount of effort to get god pills and further my cultivation. Don’t tell me that I'm still going to fail at this point.’
As Yang Qi searched for an appropriate mountain to land on, he thought back to everything he had done so far in his attempt to complete his monarch godhood. In the Pill-King’s temple ruins, he had consumed a Chaos-Cavern Grand-Magnate Pill. Then he ran a scam to get even more pills, and today he slipped the Ten-Directions Many-Heavens Pill off of the White-Haired Boxer King.
Although he hoped he would succeed, he wasn’t one hundred percent certain he would.
Thus, he found this remote place to settle down for a time and work on his cultivation.
Thankfully, he was very familiar with the mountains near the mines. In fact, there was nowhere in the god world that he was more familiar with. The ghostface monkey-god, the serpent goddess, the wolf god, the moon-eating lion king, and the ox god all had devil embryos in them. Because of that, he knew about all of the activities of the Demonfolk in these mountains. And he also knew that there were no experts stronger than a Common God here.
Even if the most heaven-rending, earth-crushing events were to play out in these mountains, no one from the outside would notice.
As he flew along, he looked around with his Lord's Eye. After a few hours passed, he identified a mountain range that resembled a dragon, a tiger, or perhaps a black turtle. The mountains seemed desolate, but there was a swirling destiny there that seemed to imply powerful entities or treasures lurked there.
In fact, as Yang Qi peered closer, he noticed that thirty thousand meters beneath the soil beneath the mountains, there was thriving life force.
It wasn’t the vital energy of living ore, but some other type of life force that seemed to indicate dramatic transformations would occur here in the future.
In the Scripture Pavilion, he had read a few geography books, and thus recognized that this location of converged life force was something called an innate lifeland. If a sect were to be established here, and spell formations erected, future generations would definitely produce top geniuses.
That said, most innate lifelands were located a few thousand meters below the surface of the earth, whereas this one was located thirty thousand meters down. Not even Greater Gods would be able to detect such a place. Only Yang Qi could, thanks to the God Legion Seal.
‘This place is amazing. Nine dragons spitting water. The full moon shining brightly. The white tiger like metal. The vermillion bird in dancing flame. The black turtle diving into water....’ Yang Qi had studied a lot about geography, so as soon as he studied the place, he could see how amazing it was. Waving his finger, he sent out a stream of sword energy that felled some of the trees and hewed open a cistern. Sweet water immediately bubbled forth, releasing the strong aroma of innate life.
‘Incredible. It seems like a scraggly and rugged place, but it actually has deep springs of water. This should be a great place to work on my cultivation. Instead of staying on the surface, I’ll go down thirty-thousand meters, then use the life force there to help perfect my monarch godhood.’
Exhaling deeply, he used streams of godpower to create something like a shell around him, a defensive barrier that was as strong as steel.
Then he shot into the ground, boring down noiselessly and leaving no trace of his passage.
The world beneath the surface of the ground was a very different place. For the first few meters, it wasn't very noticeable. It was all a tangle of roots, as well as hidden creatures such as snakes, bugs, rats, ants, and the like. Further down, there was a network of waterways and subterranean rivers. Then came a layer of rock, followed by pulsing baleful energy. As he burrowed deeper, Yang Qi used his psychic power to ‘see’ everything around him for several kilometers.
Things were constantly transforming around him. Sometimes it was hot, sometimes cold. Sometimes it even seemed like there was wind. In the impure lands, there was only earthflame beneath the surface of the ground, but not so in the god world. There were numerous layers, some that had fire, some that had ice. There were sections of metal and rock, and tunnels dug almost as if by earthworms. There were also creatures that lived there, including devils and dragons.
However, the area Yang Qi was moving through was very calm and peaceful.
He went downward for a night and a day until he was thirty thousand meters down. There were deeper depths beyond, but what lay there, he couldn’t tell.
Having reached his target destination, he hewed out a cave for himself, roughly thirty meters in height, length, and width. Using his psychic power, he turned the soil into stone bricks to line everything.
He sat down in his subterranean cave and looked at the stone walls, upon which pulsed a greenish energy flow. It was none other than the pure subterranean life force in the area. With energy like that, plants on the surface would flourish; without it, the area would turn into a desert.
It was a huge conglomeration of life force that stretched thousands of kilometers from end to end. Right now, it was the reason the mountains above contained towering, ancient trees. However, after Yang Qi absorbed it, it ensured that, in the years to come, the area overhead would eventually wither up and turn into a desert of bare mountains.
