Chapter 210 Subduing Demons After
pressing the escape light, Zhou Qing landed on a prominent high ground, gazing at the distant mountains. To the left, poisonous clouds and miasma swirled; to the right, venomous insects crawled about. Deep ravines dotted the mountains, their streams gurgling, the landscape shrouded in darkness, dotted with caves and jagged rocks. Several deep, muddy pools, each several miles in circumference, bubbled and bubbled, filled with rotten grass and mud, fermenting and moldy, their stench nauseating.
"What a desolate and treacherous place!"
Zhou Qing thought to himself. The demonic energy in the valleys was thick and concentrated, rising straight up, carrying a foul stench with every breeze. Hundreds of miles behind him lay deserted and barren, clearly inhabited by ferocious and violent demons.
“Although Dragon Girl Ao Luan is the Dragon Goddess in charge of bringing rain and clouds to the Southern Continent, the Southern Continent is simply too vast. I doubt she'll venture into remote, desolate areas; she'll likely let it fend for itself. It's not surprising that I don't know the specifics. However, I'm outnumbered. I don't even know the exact distribution of the monsters. If I encounter any restrictive formations or a powerful demon king with tens of thousands of demon soldiers, I'll suffer a great loss. Even if I manage to subdue a few monsters, it will be difficult to manage!”
It turned out that Dragon Girl Ao Luan had told Zhou Qing about the division of powerful forces in the Southern Continent. For example, the demon kings in the hundreds of thousands of miles of mountain ranges like Ji Lei Mountain, Cang Mang Mountain, and Wu Dang Mountain, as well as the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, were beyond Zhou Qing's control. In the Great Wilderness Mountains of the Immortal Realm, which he had just arrived in, most were cultivators protected by the South Sea; Zhou Qing would at least have to give Ao Luan some face.
Only some mountains bordering the Southern Continent and the Western Continent were areas beyond the jurisdiction of either side. The land was far from the emperor's reach, extremely desolate and secluded, lacking any spiritual peaks or scenic spots, and even spiritual herbs were scarce. However, it was rife with filth, so immortals were willing to come, and Buddhas were willing to intervene. Only a few relatively weak demons lingered there, their relationships intricate and tangled. Zhou Qing thought to himself, "Perfect for taking advantage of this chaos."
Although the place wasn't ideal, it was better than nothing. If he caused any trouble, he could simply walk away. In the Earthly Immortal Realm, Zhou Qing was carefree.
"My identity as the Great Emperor Gouchen should finally come in handy, hehe, hehe!" Zhou Qing chuckled inwardly, about to activate his magic incantation, when suddenly a violent demonic wind swept in from behind, darkening the sky and obscuring the sun and moon. Zhou Qing quickly concealed himself, using his Heavenly Eye to observe from a crevice in the rubble.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, interspersed with a yellow aura. Zhou Qing could clearly see it was a demon, wearing a yellow cloak, a black tight-fitting inner garment, and tiger-skin boots, with a fierce and menacing air. It carried a young woman in each hand, somewhat attractive and resembling her. Their clothing was also similar; they were sisters, both unconscious and motionless.
This demon wasn't ugly; on the contrary, it had a dignified appearance, its spirit concealed, so Zhou Qing couldn't discern its true form. However, the overwhelming demonic aura emanated from a human cultivator.
"Hmm, quite skilled, much stronger than my toad. Look, the Six-Eyed Toad, hailed as the number one demon in the human realm, is just a errand boy in the Immortal Realm. My subordinates are weaker too."
The demon didn't notice Zhou Qing, but instead stirred up demonic winds in the sky, disappearing into the distant mountains in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then activated his spiritual senses, chanted an incantation, and lightly stomped his foot on the ground.
"Which great immortal has disturbed this old man!"
A wisp of green smoke rose from where Zhou Qing had stomped his foot, and two figures appeared: an old man with a completely white beard, a thin body, dressed in a simple funeral robe, leaning on a cane; and a naked, malevolent ghost behind him, twelve feet tall, wielding a steel fork, with a blue face and fangs.
The old man looked impatient, faintly reeking of alcohol, while the ghost's mouth and hands were greasy, clearly indicating they were enjoying a meal and drink, summoned by Zhou Qing's incantation.
"You Taoist priest, how unreasonable! Disturbing our enjoyment of drinking! What is it? Speak quickly, don't be so noisy!" the ghost glared at Zhou Qing and shouted loudly.
Although the old man reeked of alcohol and was incredibly impatient, he retained some semblance of clarity. Upon seeing Zhou Qing's face, he rubbed his seemingly dim old eyes, and after a closer look, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, terrified out of his wits. He immediately knelt down, shouting, "This humble god was unaware of the Great Emperor's arrival! I have failed to greet you properly! Please forgive me, Great Emperor! This humble god deserves to die a thousand deaths! Please forgive me, Great Emperor!"
The old man kowtowed repeatedly, his head hitting the rocky ground with a loud thud, clearly terrified.
"What Great Emperor? You old man, are you drunk? Or have you gone mad?! Hahahaha!" The naked demon, seeing the earth god kowtowing, was startled, then laughed twice. He then clearly saw Zhou Qing's clothing and appearance, and froze on the spot.
*Clang!* The steel fork in his hand fell to the ground, and the naked demon, like the earth god, knelt on the ground, banging his head against the ground: "This lowly god was unaware of the arrival of Emperor Gouchen, and spoke carelessly, Emperor, spare my life! Emperor, spare my life!" He cried out in grief, his body trembling, his teeth chattering, and his words were somewhat unclear.
"Hehe, my identity as Emperor Gouchen is actually quite useful. The Jade Emperor isn't just a figurehead. I knew it, some ascended immortals all want to become officials in the Heavenly Palace. It turns out there are benefits after all." Hai
Zhouqing studied the Taoist classics and the Kunlun secret methods, and discovered some spells and incantations for summoning divine generals and heavenly soldiers, such as scattering beans to create soldiers and summoning wind and rain. Back in the Changping underground in the human realm, Zhouqing had seen Wen Lanxin summon heavenly soldiers and generals to fight against the fierce ghost army spirit. However, at that time, Wen Lanxin's power and cultivation were far too weak for Zhouqing's current level, and he could only summon a wisp of the heavenly soldiers and generals.
This kind of magic for summoning deities is only authentically practiced by Kunlun. Other rogue cultivators, no matter how powerful their magic or how profound their cultivation, cannot summon deities to serve them. Zhou Qing, with his current magic, can summon complete heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the four directional deities. However, these heavenly soldiers and generals, and the four directional deities, all possess complete consciousness and formidable combat power; they are living beings in the celestial realm. Being able to summon them is one thing; whether they will help you fight is another.
If you have no power or official position in the Heavenly Court, and you summon deities for help, then congratulations. You have violated the Heavenly Laws, and the summoned deities will be the first to deal with you, taking you to the Heavenly Court for questioning. You will inevitably suffer a beheading on the Execution Platform.
The same applies to Zhou Qing's use of the Seven Treasures Tree to summon the Eight Heavenly Dragons. Previously, he summoned an avatar with little power and consciousness. If he had summoned the true form, Zhou Qing would be the first to suffer, as the Eight Heavenly Dragons would be besiege a mere Taoist priest. "You even summoned Buddhist protectors! No wonder they devour you!" Now Zhou Qing doesn't dare summon them anymore.
Previously, Zhou Qing hadn't used the incantations and spells to summon the gods, which is why he thought the Gouchen Emperor was useless. Now it seems this is a hugely lucrative position.
"You lowly underworld gods, how dare you be so derelict in your duties, greedily seeking food and drink below! You even dare to be disrespectful to this Emperor! It's truly despicable!" Zhou Qing roared.
The mountain god and the local earth god nearly wet their pants in fear. Dozens of days ago, the Heavenly Court conferred the title of Gouchen Emperor, announcing it to the Three Realms. Except for areas not under the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction, everyone else received the news and Zhou Qing's appearance.
Mountain gods and local earth gods are underworld deities, naturally within the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction. Moreover, these lowly gods have extremely low status, even lower than Ox-Head and Horse-Face. If they want to report a major matter, they must first submit a petition to the City God, who then submits it to the Judge. The judge would then submit a petition to the Five Great Emperors of the Five Sacred Mountains, who would then submit a petition to the Ten Kings of Hell. The Ten Kings of Hell would then discuss the petition with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and when the Heavenly Court held its court assembly, they would petition the Jade Emperor at the Lingxiao Palace. The Gouchen Emperor was one of the Four Emperors of Heaven, second only to the Jade Emperor; their positions were vastly different, like an ant compared to an elephant.
Now, it could be said that it was perfectly reasonable for Zhou Qing to kill two Yin Gods with a single punch. Hearing Zhou Qing's unfriendly tone, the mountain god and the local earth god were naturally terrified and begged for mercy.
"The offense of negligence will be temporarily forgiven. This Emperor will now ask you, what place is this, and which mountain god and local earth god are you?"
Zhou Qing's tone softened somewhat, getting to the heart of the matter. His original intention was to summon the mountain god and the local earth god to get to the bottom of things; now he was just trying to intimidate them and demonstrate the majesty of the Great Emperor Gouchen.
"Your Majesty, this mountain is called Black Wind Mountain, covering an area of over nine thousand li. We two are the mountain god and the local earth god of Black Wind Mountain," the old earth god and the mountain god replied, kneeling on the ground, not daring to rise.
"Black Wind Mountain is filled with demonic energy, and the surrounding cities and lands are desolate and uninhabited. Clearly, a violent demon is causing trouble and harming living beings. Just now, I saw a yellow aura in a demonic wind from afar. It was a monster carrying two women. I was about to capture it when the monster disappeared into the mountain. Do you know what powerful demon king lives in this mountain?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Black Wind Mountain is located at the border of Southern Jambudvipa and Western Niuhe Continent. It is a small mountain, barren and desolate, unsuitable for cultivation and spiritual practice, only producing demons. Within the mountain is a Poison Dragon Pool, above which lies a Poison Dragon Cave. Originally, a venomous dragon dwelled in the pool, having survived nine great tribulations a hundred years ago, transforming into a dragon. It inhales miasma and spews poisonous mist, possessing some supernatural powers and abilities. Later, it gathered several hundred lesser demons from the mountain, who resided in the Poison Dragon Cave. This venomous dragon is cruel and bloodthirsty, and..." Born with lustful desires, it would often go down the mountain to capture people to eat or to abduct beautiful women for its own pleasure. As a result, the surrounding area, spanning hundreds of miles, was nearly deserted, with only nine out of ten houses empty. However, because a Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty was stationed in a distant city to oversee the situation, the venomous dragon was somewhat wary, and the priest dared not pursue it. Thus, a stalemate ensued, with the dragon occasionally harassing the area near the city. What the Emperor saw this time, it seemed, was that the lustful dragon had brought back another woman.”
"Outrageous! I, Zhou Qing, have been appointed by Heaven as the Great Emperor Gouchen, and have descended to the mortal realm to oversee the demon race. If they were demons diligently cultivating to transcend mortality, that would be one thing, but such a brutal and monstrous demon, who treats all living beings like dirt, must be eliminated!"
Zhou Qing roared in fury, but secretly chuckled to himself, "This is Heaven's help! Black Wind Mountain may be small and the environment harsh, but at least it's a territory that doesn't attract attention. It's perfect for developing new things; a single spark can start a prairie fire. I can slowly plot my way up. Anyway, I'm starting from scratch, so I won't lose anything."
Hearing that Black Wind Mountain only had a hundred or so minor demons, Zhou Qing immediately considered subduing them. "
You two petty gods, only concerned with greedy food, have produced such a ferocious demon! How can you report to the Underworld and summon the Yin soldiers to capture you? Instead, I, the Emperor, have to personally take action! Such dereliction of duty deserves to be punished on the spot to uphold the Heavenly Laws." "
Zhou Qing then roared angrily.
"This humble god deserves to die. This humble god deserves to die, Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life! It's not that this humble god is reporting, but that humble god is insignificant and has no voice. Besides, that poisonous dragon is already a celestial being, having escaped the cycle of reincarnation and is no longer under the jurisdiction of the underworld. Since Your Majesty has issued the decree, this humble god will go down and report to the City God and petition King Yama. Call the underworld soldiers to arrest him."
The mountain god and the earth god kowtowed repeatedly.
"Hmph! The gods of the underworld are responsible for overseeing the six realms of reincarnation. They bear a heavy responsibility and cannot act rashly. Moreover, this Emperor has important business to attend to this time, and it would be too much trouble for the troops. If word gets out, even if King Yama himself came, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences." Zhou Qing threatened again.
"This humble god dares not leak the news, this humble god dares not leak the news!" "These mountain god and earth god were somewhat shrewd, and immediately realized that Zhou Qing was warning them not to speak carelessly.
These mountain god and earth god were the lowest-ranking minor gods; although they possessed some magical power, they were still inferior to Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and Zhou Qing naturally didn't take them seriously.
The human realm was an abandoned land; although there were mountains, there were no mountain god or earth god to govern them.
"Alright. This emperor will spare you this time. Take me to the Poison Dragon Cave, subdue that demon, and restore peace to the living. Get up!"
Zhou Qing had said everything he needed to say, and no longer threatened these two poor fellows.
The mountain god and earth god got up, rode on white clouds, and led the way. After a few breaths, they arrived above the Poison Dragon Pool and the Poison Dragon Cave.
Landing far away on a mountain peak, the old earth god bowed and pointed to the opposite side, saying, "Emperor, that is the Poison Dragon Cave, and below is the Poison Dragon Pool." "
Across from us stood another towering mountain peak, with a plateau spanning several hundred acres jutting out from its midsection. Several lush bamboo groves grew there, and ancient pines and thumb-thick bamboo swayed in the breeze. It was a stark contrast to the swampy, desolate landscape Zhou Qing had just witnessed; it possessed an almost otherworldly quality.
However, the thousand-acre Poison Dragon Pool at the foot of the two peaks was rather eerie. The water was emerald green, bottomless, and even a gentle breeze couldn't move it, making it as still as a piece of jade.
Behind the plateau was a large cave with a vermilion-lacquered, gold-inlaid stone gate bearing the three large characters 'Poison Dragon Cave.' At the cave entrance, several lesser demon minions were practicing fighting with gleaming weapons.
'Go and summon that Poison Dragon! Make him immediately repent, disperse the lesser demons, cultivate diligently, and perform good deeds to atone for his sins. Otherwise, he will be cast into the cycle of reincarnation, never to be reborn!'" "Zhou Qing instructed the Mountain God and the Earth God.
The Mountain God and Earth God dared not disobey, and immediately flew over the Poison Dragon Pool on a cloud. Just then, they called out, and five or six lesser demons stopped their training. One of them, a small demon with a pointed head, was actually a deer. Holding a large knife, it pointed at the Mountain God
and shouted, "Where did you come from, you monsters? Coming to my Black Wind Mountain to cause trouble, quickly state your names, or you'll be spared!" "You audacious demons! Don't you recognize your grandfather? Your grandfather is the Mountain God of Black Wind Mountain! Quickly summon that lewd dragon to meet Emperor Gouchen, or you'll all be condemned to eternal damnation!" "The mountain god roared.
"So it's you, you little devil! This Black Wind Mountain is the territory of my Poison Dragon King. Although you are a mountain god, you are still under my king's control. We don't know what the Great Emperor Gouchen is. You dare to shout outside the Poison Dragon Cave; you are truly audacious! My Poison Dragon King is enjoying himself with a beauty and cannot be disturbed. So, you will come to my Poison Dragon Cave every night to keep watch, light the fire, and wash the food, and I will spare your life." The little deer demon cursed.
The other little demons chuckled, completely disregarding the mountain god.
"How dare you! You fiend, die!" Hearing the mockery of the lesser demons, the mountain god flew into a rage, swinging his steel fork to stab.
The lesser deer demon, unfazed, met him with a knife. They clashed, knife and fork, for several rounds. The mountain god, being a Yin spirit, possessed immense strength, masterful fork techniques, and considerable cultivation—equivalent to a cultivator who had undergone several tribulations.
The lesser deer demon, at most a mid-stage Void Returning demon, was no match. Seeing he could hold out, he tried to escape, but was unexpectedly pierced by the fork, three transparent holes appearing in his body.
Just as his spirit was about to leave, the mountain god struck him again with the fork, annihilating him both body and soul.
"Kill this bastard! Avenge Brother Deer!" "Chop down this hairy god!" "
Four or five lesser demons, seeing the deer dead, immediately pounced. Caught off guard, the Earth God attacked from behind with his staff, killing three in quick succession. The Mountain God then stabbed one to death. Only one monkey demon remained, escaping quickly into the Poison Dragon Cave to call for help.
"Damn you, you little devil! I haven't bothered you, yet you come to my cave entrance to kill people! This is utterly lawless!"
A cannon boomed, and the gates of the Poison Dragon Cave opened, unleashing hundreds of lesser demons, each wielding knives, spears, and clubs, waving banners, and banging drums. Zhou Qing recognized the man who had charged out carrying a halberd, standing on the platform at the entrance, looking at the Mountain God and Earth God floating on the Poison Dragon Pool.
