Chapter 2, The Mountain God Will Rule the World

The great grace of the patriarch, there is no way to repay it under heaven

Chen Zhi observed that once again flocks of birds took flight in the mountains and forests, while beasts leaped out from the bushes. The sunlight illuminated the earth, and patches of white snow blanketed the ground. The entire Changbai Mountain was adorned with splendid clouds and mist, with snow and fog covering the land, pure and flawless, transforming everything into a breathtaking scene

The pervasive haze throughout the entire Changbai Mountain has completely vanished, giving rise to a rebirth of all things, appearing rejuvenated and renewed

The Xuanlin Fengshen Ceremony was held in the newly established Immortal Valley. On that day, the entire Changbai Mountain was shrouded in a lifeless atmosphere, with black ashes swirling in the sky, and the whole mountain was engulfed in a miasma.

However, due to the destruction caused by the recent wildfire, the once ethereal scenery of Fairy Valley has vanished without a trace

Xuanlin pointed a single hand towards the Immortal Valley ahead, and with a gentle flick of his hand, the ice and snow in front immediately melted away

In gratitude for the divine favor bestowed by the clan leader, I, Pulji Jitai Xuanlin, hereby vow to serve faithfully, to divine auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, to predict the future, and to remain unwavering through the vicissitudes of life

After Xuanlin transformed into a giant, he began to roll on the ground in pain, while Changbai Mountain trembled incessantly, as if it were on the verge of collapsing!

From now on, I shall govern all living beings of Changbai Mountain, and I shall not dare to be negligent

Everyone was astonished to see that, although the face still belonged to Xuan Lin, his skin was radiant, the lines were soft, and it was perfect to the extreme

This universally pleasing outcome is satisfying

Ning Bin calculated a detailed account, and this is a considerable fortune. If this steady stream continues every year, the Tang family's wealth will increase rapidly by more than tenfold, surpassing any commercial group in Northeast China, and even exceeding the Bao family.

Xuan Lin approached Chen Zhi, knelt on one leg, placed her hand on her left chest, and performed a greeting to Chen Zhi in the manner of ancient female warriors, her voice like a melodious celestial sound

However, Chen Zhi's consecration ceremony proceeded very smoothly

Under the spell of Chen Zhi, the brilliantly radiant Gala gemstone was sent into the belly of Xuanlin

The mountains in the rear, scorched by the earth's fire, have cracked crevices, and clear mountain springs flow down from the valley, while the sky filled with black ashes is instantly dispersed by these spiritual energies

The long hair of Xuanlin spread across the ground, soft and delicate, resembling a carpet of silk.

After a while, Xuanlin finally calmed down. His enormous eyes slowly opened, and the first thing he did was look at Chen Zhi, after which tears began to flow.

And those Taisui seeds planted in the ground sprouted instantly, the trunks grew rapidly, and soon they would blossom and bear fruit, vibrant and colorful under the sunlight, resembling colorful gemstones, a scene full of vitality, indescribably beautiful

He gradually grew taller and larger, eventually becoming a giant over seven meters high

Upon witnessing such a prosperous scene, the celestial beings of Fairy Valley were moved to tears, kneeling down to pay their respects to their new mountain deity

It is an exceptionally warm aura, akin to the warmest sunlight casting its glow upon the earth, bringing a sense of tranquility and filling the heart with hope

The technology of humanity is limited, the vast golden fields of wheat have disappeared, the resplendent fields of taro are also gone, and the beautiful springs and waterfalls are no longer to be found

Xuanlin's gait was light and graceful, akin to a feather, as she slowly approached Chen Zhi. Wherever she stepped, fresh flowers and green grass sprang up.

Subsequently, his body began to rapidly stretch and enlarge, and even from a great distance, the sound of his bones tearing could be heard. This pain caused Xuanlin to roar loudly

However, the massive stone where Jiang Ziya once conferred the title of mountain god still stands there, intact and undamaged.

After Xuanlin transformed back into his normal human form, he was completely naked. He picked up the long robe from the ground and draped it over himself

As long as there is money, the establishment of a new town can be accomplished very quickly. After extensive civil engineering, this town, which had been burned down, was rebuilt and completed in just a few months

The seeds of those Tai Sui were replanted underground, yet there were no signs of germination. The ashes, caused by the devastation of the earth's fire, still linger in the air, bearing witness to the tragic destruction that once occurred here

The Immortal Valley has been rebuilt, and it is truly as Ning Bin said; there is nothing in today's human society that cannot be achieved

However, Chen Zhi knew that his purpose for the Fengshan ceremony was not merely this; he intended to utilize Xuanlin's divination abilities to inquire about his future destiny

Then, amidst the vast snow, flakes began to drift down from the sky, landing on the ground. In an instant, the entire land where they stood was frozen and encased in ice, as if they had entered a glacial valley in Antarctica

In the time following this event, Changbai Mountain has completely restored its ecological cycle and has become even more lush and prosperous than before

The barrier above the Immortal Valley resembles a gigantic mirror, reflecting every blade of grass and tree within the entire mountain range, all visible above the Immortal Valley

In the Valley of Immortals, lush green grass immediately sprouts, and the powerful vitality covers everything

Everything in this mountain, including the ice and snow on the ground, the winds in the mountain, the clear springs in the ravines, all the flowers, grasses, and trees, the flying birds and running beasts, all living beings, are all under his control, obeying his command

In the tremors of heaven and earth, the wind swirls and the clouds surge, as Xuan experiences excruciating pain and cries out, his entire body illuminated by the brilliance of the Gala gems, rendering him transparent, with his blood vessels and bones fully visible.

At that time, all the residents of Immortal Valley, as well as Ning Bin and others, witnessed the scene with their own eyes, and everyone was astonished, finding it hard to believe

He is not in a position to inquire much about the organization's matters, but he is willing to start sending half of his substantial annual income to the Bao family from this year onward, considering it as support for the organization

The newly established Immortal Valley contains a wealth of information about human society, and many modern technological items have been brought in, yet it has largely been reconstructed according to the original layout

After Xuanlin finished speaking, he lightly rose from the ground and then turned around.

A brilliant spiritual light radiated from him, and a graceful, gentle aura continuously emanated from his body. He extended his fingers into the snow, and the white snow immediately reacted, rapidly melting and giving rise to patches of green plants.

Due to the secretive nature of this matter, Ning Bin only brought Da Guo here. Upon witnessing this miraculous scene, they were left speechless with astonishment, especially Da Guo, whose mouth was agape, unable to utter a single word

The main industries of the Tang family rely on the mountains, including ginseng, deer antler, and mountain products. They control a significant portion of the material trade in the Changbai Mountains

Approximately one hour later, Xuanlin's body gradually returned to its original form, and the sensation was very peculiar, akin to the enlarging and shrinking methods seen on television

This time, the growth of all things in Changbai Mountain undoubtedly benefits the Tang family the most

The current Immortal Valley is even more beautiful than in the past, resembling a fairyland

Yet his pair of eyes had suddenly transformed into three-eyed pupils, shining brilliantly, in this sacred and extraordinary Changbai Mountain

Ning Bin is an exceptionally intelligent person; he immediately expressed that although he has acquired this greatest wealth, he still requires the protection of the Bao family

Xuanlin struggled painfully in the Ice Valley, and after a long time, his body gradually returned to an opaque state, while the aura behind him erupted with immense vigor and grandeur

His long hair floated in the air, scattering in all directions, creating a very beautiful scene

Outside the Valley of Immortals, the ground seemed to have been enchanted, as waves of wheat fields rose up, with grains more plump than ever before, a golden expanse stretching endlessly...
