NOVPUBChapter 1064: Chapter 164: Five Finger God Mountain Chapter 1064: Chapter 164: Five Finger God Mountain The Celestial Field of Tan Heng.
Chu Yuan had led his army to occupy the Five Finger Holy Mountain.
During this period, although there were many powerful attacks initiated by various forces, they were all repelled by the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Chu Yuan’s plan was also very simple, using the Celestial Field of Tan Heng as the army’s forward base, act according to the battlefield situation between the Godly realms of Tian Nie and Ming Cang, and then formulate the next step.
After his army arrived, they did not immediately resort to burning, killing, and looting, as other forces had done.
Instead, they showed a very strong offensive posture against external forces, but they also accepted those from the Celestial Field of Tan Heng who were willing to seek their protection and pledge allegiance.
Expanding outward from the center of the Five Finger Holy Mountain.
“With the Celestial Field of Tan Heng now headless, without the Supreme God of Tan Heng, it is like fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered. Your Majesty’s actions aim to win the people’s hearts, transforming the Celestial Field of Tan Heng into the territory of the Divine Martial,” said the imperial ministers who were aware of the Divine Emperor’s strategy. If the Supreme God of Tan Heng were not dead, this move would surely be in vain.
But now, their Divine Martial Dynasty was like a ray of light in the darkness, divinely appointed to save them.
Indeed, within the short few months of the Divine Martial army’s arrival, many people from the Celestial Field of Tan Heng who had been escaping turmoil had one after another come under the banner of Divine Martial.
“Your Majesty,” the War God said.
“War God, you’ve come. Look at the Five Finger Holy Mountain and tell me what you see,” Chu Yuan remarked as he gazed at the towering Five Finger Holy Mountain.
The War God looked, and suddenly felt his spirit drawn into a realm of darkness, where a spectacular scene unfolded before him.
A towering figure, whose stature reached the heavens, stretched out a hand and slapped it forward — and the heavens and earth were obliterated.
“Your Majesty, this Five Finger Holy Mountain harbors a terrifying concept left by an exceptional powerhouse!” the War God exclaimed in shock, his spirit trembling.
He only saw that powerhouse slowly lifting one finger, emerging from his recent revelation, and abruptly casting out a ray of finger light that held the notion of breaking through everything.
“The intent of fearlessness, one finger breaks the heavens and earth, one palm obliterates all things, an ancient power left behind. The Supreme God of Tan Heng has realized the power of one finger, dominating peers in the same realm.”
The reason this place became one of the three Holy Sites of the Celestial Field of Tan Heng was not only because of its rich energy but also because of this concept within the Holy Mountain.
He swung his palm, and immediately a palm of erasure coalesced into form.
The War God felt that if Your Majesty were to send this palm his way, his entire being, all his life’s marks, would be erased from the river of time and space; it had gone beyond mere killing.
“Your Majesty, you have actually comprehended the concept of this palm!” the War God said with reverence.
“The many paths lead to the same destination. This palm’s power contains the ultimate lessons of erasure and space-time. War God, if you can comprehend the power of one finger, supremacy is within reach,” Chu Yuan said with a smile.
What he valued was not the energy inside the Five Finger Holy Mountain but this concept, which could enable the empire’s powerhouses to come and enlighten themselves.
Even if they could not fully comprehend it, just focusing on the power of one finger would enhance their strength.
“Your Majesty is far-sighted,” the War God said.
“War God, report the important matters,” Chu Yuan instructed.
“Yes!”
The War God said, “After several months of fierce fighting and struggle, the situation in the Celestial Field of Tan Heng has largely stabilized. All three Holy Sites have find their masters; we, Divine Martial, hold the Five Finger Holy Mountain, while the other two have been occupied by Xuan Yun Palace and Chi Yu Hall.”
“Xuan Yun Palace and Chi Yu Hall.”
Chu Yuan knew that both of these great forces were presided over by true Supreme Gods.
Especially the Red Feather Hall, with the Hall Master who commanded several Supreme Gods—it may not be on the same level as the Tenebrous Divine Nation, but it was second only to them.
It must be said that Chu Yuan’s collection of those plunderers had given him a very clear understanding of the distribution of power in the Celestial Field.
“Which Hall Master from the Red Feather Hall has come?”
“Your Majesty, it is the Blood Dragon Hall Master. The Celestial Field of Tan Heng is rich in resources. This time, with the Supreme God of Tan Heng becoming embroiled in the war between the two Divine Nations and suddenly dying, even the Supreme God’s forces cannot sit still.”
The War God spoke.
“With the abundance of resources in the Tan Heng Celestial Field, if a Divine Nation firmly secures its position here, it will gain a substantial supply of resources. And War God, you too can break through the third heaven in the shortest time. We must stick to the original strategy; our aim is not only to conquer but also to completely transform the occupied territory into our own land.”
Chu Yuan spoke.
“Your Majesty, we have always been doing this. Fortunately, since we arrived, we have shown goodwill towards the people of the Tan Heng Celestial Field. More and more people are now pledging allegiance to us. With the fortune of the Divine Martial Dynasty, we can stir their spirit of vengeance and transform them well.” 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
The War God then left to carry out his duties.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
“Your Majesty, an envoy from the Xuan Yun Palace has come to see you.”
Someone reported from outside the palace gate.
“An envoy from the Xuan Yun Palace? To see me?”
Chu Yuan contemplated briefly before saying, “Announce their arrival, and let them wait for me in the hall.”
“Xuan Yun Palace special envoy presents himself to your Majesty!”
Looking up at Chu Yuan was like seeing an endless abyss.
This envoy was also of half-step Supreme strength, but at this moment, his heart was struck with a towering fear, preventing him from underestimating Divine Martial in the slightest.
Divine Martial was unfamiliar to them; their strength and details were all unclear.
“What brings the Xuan Yun Palace special envoy to see me today?”
Chu Yuan’s voice was deep and commanding.
“Your Majesty, I have come to deliver news. The three great Holy Lands were occupied by three forces, each holding one with the intent of coexisting harmoniously. But someone has other ideas.”
The envoy said, “The Palace Master has received word that the Blood Dragon Hall Master of the Red Feather Hall is amassing a large army, preparing to march against your Majesty. Please make preparations, and at a critical moment, our Xuan Yun Palace is also willing to send troops to aid.”
“The Blood Dragon Hall Master intends to take action against me,” Chu Yuan said unperturbed. “Very well, I am already informed. Convey my thanks to the Palace Master of Xuan Yun for his kind intentions. I will personally visit him when the opportunity arises. Does the special envoy have anything else to report?”
“Nothing more for now, I have delivered the message and will take my leave.”
The envoy added, “One more thing, your Majesty should be cautious of the Blood Dragon Hall Master’s aggressive approach this time.”
After the envoy left, the War God approached Chu Yuan and said, “The Xuan Yun Palace has such good intentions, warning us to be on guard against the Blood Dragon Hall Master? I’m afraid they have ulterior motives.”
“It’s better to have a purpose. I already know everything about the Red Feather Hall from the data collected from the plunderers. With ambitious aspirations, they are also expanding their territory amidst the chaos of the Celestial Field.”
Chu Yuan said indifferently, “The Xuan Yun Palace might not be weak, but it still does not compare to the Red Feather Hall. They do not wish to see us completely defeated. If we retreat, they too would have to pull back, and the entire Celestial Field of Tan Heng would fall into the hands of the Red Feather Hall.”
“The way of moderate equilibrium is what the Palace Master of Xuan Yun Palace most desires to see—is for our Divine Martial to withstand the Blood Dragon Hall Master’s assault, with both sides suffering heavy penalties. By that time, even if they send troops, they would be the ones reaping the benefits, a fine scheme indeed.”
The War God spoke with a sneer.
“We needn’t concern ourselves with this Xuan Yun Palace just yet. Ready the army, put all effort into repelling the Blood Dragon Hall Master’s impending attack. This foundation territory must not be lost.”
Chu Yuan understood the situation profoundly.
Here, Divine Martial contained the war far from its own territory with the best defensive line, and losing this place could allow other forces to bring the flames of war into the Divine Martial Dynasty.
