Chapter 303 The Gods Return to Their Positions, Earth Trembles!
After Lei Zun finished selecting his men, he stepped aside.
Zhang Lei stood there, completely dazed. He looked at his hands, feeling the surging power within him, and his eyes reddened.
"I...I really became a God Master?"
People around them cast envious glances.
"That kid's incredibly lucky!"
"Personally chosen by Lei Zun, his future is limitless!"
"Early Stage of the Ninth Rank, a meteoric rise!"
Zhang Lei came to his senses and bowed again to Su Fan and Lei Zun.
"Thank you, Boss Su! Thank you, Lord Lei!"
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Cultivate diligently, and don't embarrass Thunder Lord."
Zhang Lei nodded vigorously.
"Definitely! Definitely!"
The chat was still flooded with comments.
"Next, next!"
"Who should Doumu Yuanjun choose?"
"I want the Fire God!"
"Don't fight over it, it's all about skill!"
Su Fan looked at Doumu Yuanjun.
"Senior Yuanjun, please."
Doumu Yuanjun smiled and nodded, then stepped forward.
Her gaze swept over the 365 people, finally settling on a woman who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old.
The woman had an ordinary appearance and dressed simply; she was inconspicuous in the crowd.
But her eyes were clear and held a resolute quality.
Doumu Yuanjun walked up to her.
"What's your name?"
The woman was stunned.
"My name is Wang Xiaomei."
Doumu Yuanjun smiled.
"Wang Xiaomei, what a fine name. Would you be willing to form a contract with me?"
Wang Xiaomei's eyes widened.
"Me?! You chose me?!"
Doumu Yuanjun nodded.
"Yes. Although your talent is average, you are kind-hearted and persevering. I like that."
Wang Xiaomei was so excited that she trembled all over and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Yes! I do!"
Doumu Yuanjun raised her hand, and a golden light shot towards Wang Xiaomei.
As the golden light entered her body, Wang Xiaomei's aura began to surge.
Third order.
Fifth order.
Seventh rank.
Early stage of the ninth rank.
The audience erupted in uproar once again.
"Another early-stage ninth-tier cultivator!"
"It was chosen by Doumu Yuanjun!"
"That Wang Xiaomei, wasn't she just a third-tier cultivator a moment ago?"
"A meteoric rise! It truly was a meteoric rise!"
Wang Xiaomei knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Doumu Yuanjun.
"Thank you, Yuanjun!"
Doumu Yuanjun smiled.
"Get up. Cultivate diligently from now on, and I will guide you."
Wang Xiaomei stood up, tears streaming down her face.
She had poor talent from a young age and it took her more than ten years to reach the third level of cultivation. She was ridiculed as a waste.
Now, she has become a ninth-tier powerhouse.
Those who had mocked her were now speechless.
The live stream chat exploded with comments.
"Doumu Yuanjun is so wonderful!"
"We select people based on their character, not their talent!"
"That Wang Xiaomei is definitely going to be awesome someday!"
"I want to be chosen like that too!"
Su Fan smiled.
He looked at the Fire God.
"Senior Star Lord, please come here."
Fire God nodded and stepped forward.
His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on a bald, burly man.
The big man was two meters tall and muscular; he was clearly a trained fighter.
The Fire God walked up to him.
"What's your name?"
The big man was stunned.
"My name is Zhao Tiezhu."
The Fire God smiled.
"Zhao Tiezhu, a good name. What kind of cultivation technique do you practice?"
Zhao Tiezhu scratched his head.
"I... I cultivate fire-based techniques, but I'm stuck at the sixth level."
Fire God nodded.
"Fire-based cultivation techniques suit me perfectly. Are you willing to form a contract with me?"
Zhao Tiezhu's eyes widened.
"Me?! You chose me?!"
The Fire God smiled.
"Yes. Although you are honest and simple, your childlike heart is rare."
Zhao Tiezhu was so excited that his face turned red.
"Yes! I'm willing!"
Fire God raised his hand, and a beam of fire shot towards Zhao Tiezhu.
As the flames entered his body, Zhao Tiezhu's aura surged.
Sixth order.
Seventh rank.
Eighth rank.
Early stage of the ninth rank.
Zhao Tiezhu felt the power within his body and roared to the sky.
"I've broken through! I've reached the ninth rank!"
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Fire God.
"Thank you, Star Lord! Thank you, Star Lord!"
Fire God waved his hand.
"Get up. From now on, cultivate diligently and don't disgrace this emperor."
Zhao Tiezhu stood up and smiled sheepishly.
"I will definitely! I will definitely!"
Next, the Plague Emperor Haotian chose a young man named Li Ming.
Li Ming was thin and small, but his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.
The Plague Emperor looked at him.
"What's your name?"
Li Ming lowered his head.
"Li Ming".
Emperor Plague Bamboo laughed.
"I sense killing intent emanating from you. Have you killed anyone?"
Li Ming trembled all over.
"I...I..."
The Plague Emperor waved his hand.
"There's no need to be nervous. I, the Emperor, control the plague, and I also control life and death. Killing people is not terrible; what is terrible is killing those who shouldn't be killed."
Li Ming paused for a moment.
"I killed three villains. They bullied men and women, and I couldn't help but take action."
Emperor Plague Bamboo nodded.
"Good. I like this kind of spirited person."
A beam of blue light shot towards Li Ming.
Li Ming's aura surged, directly reaching the early stage of the ninth rank.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Plague Emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
……
Next, the Three Officials, the Five Sacred Mountains, the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the Nine Luminaries, the Twenty-Eight Mansions...
One by one, the gods began to choose their contractors.
Out of 365 people, 81 were selected.
Each of those selected experienced a meteoric rise from their original cultivation level to the early stage of the ninth rank.
Some were at the eighth or seventh rank, while others went directly to the mid-ninth rank, or even the peak of the ninth rank.
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
The chat room was buzzing with excitement.
"Eighty-one ninth-tier Divine Masters!"
"What an incredible scene!!"
"China's strength has increased tenfold in an instant!"
"Who will dare to bully China again?"
Su Fan stood on the stage, watching this scene, and smiled.
He looked at Emperor Gouchen.
"Senior, won't you choose one?"
Emperor Gouchen shook his head.
"I will follow you. You are far superior to those juniors."
Su Fan smiled.
"OK."
……
three days later.
Eighty-one people, all contracts completed.
All eighty-one deities have found hosts.
Eighty-one ninth-rank Divine Masters gathered at Mount Tai.
Su Fan stood on the stage, looking at them.
"From this day forward, you are the contractors of the Chinese gods."
"You represent not only yourselves, but also the gods behind you."
"Cultivate diligently, and don't embarrass them."
Eighty-one people shouted in unison.
"yes!"
Su Fan nodded.
"Disperse. Go back and consolidate your cultivation. Reunite in one month."
The crowd dispersed.
Su Fan turned around and looked at the gods.
"Thank you for your hard work, seniors."
The gods laughed.
Lei Zun spoke.
"Envoy of the Gods, what are your plans next?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"Train them. A month later, take them to the Outer Heavens."
Lei Zun raised an eyebrow.
"To the Outer Heavens?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. There are still many forces in the Outer Heavens that need to be dealt with."
"Moreover, the spiritual energy there is abundant, making it even more suitable for cultivation."
Lei Zun smiled.
"Very well. I also want to see what the Outer Heavens are like."
……
A month later.
The Fengshentai (Investiture Platform) of Mount Tai.
Eighty-one people gathered together once again.
After a month of training, they have fully mastered the power of the ninth rank.
Some people even show faint signs of a breakthrough.
Su Fan looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.
"good."
He looked at the teleportation array.
"Are you ready?"
The crowd shouted in unison.
"Ready!"
Su Fan raised his hand, and the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods surged into the teleportation array.
The portal opened.
Opposite the gate of light lies the sky beyond the heavens.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Walk."
He stepped into the portal of light.
Behind him, eighty-one people filed in.
Gods such as Gouchen the Great, Lei Zun, and Doumu Yuanjun followed behind.
……
Beyond the Heavens, the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Swords.
The portal opened, and a group of people walked out.
Jian Wudi is already waiting.
He was stunned to see so many people.
"Su Fan, this is...?"
Su Fan smiled.
"My people."
He pointed to the eighty-one people.
"Nine ranks, eighty-one in total."
Jian Wudi gasped.
"Eighty-one ninth-tier cultivators?! Where did you find them?!"
Su Fan explained.
"The God-Keeper on Earth has just made a pact with the Chinese gods."
Jian Wudi's eyes widened.
"Ninth rank right after the contract?!"
Su Fan nodded.
"right."
Jian Wudi fell silent.
He looked at Su Fan with a complicated expression.
How many more surprises does this kid have in store?
With eighty-one early-stage ninth-tier cultivators and those deities, the strength of the Myriad Swords Pavilion instantly surged.
Now, let alone the Outer Heavens, we could easily conquer even the former site of the Demon Clan's sacred land.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"Even Jian Wudi is dumbfounded, hahaha!"
"Eighty-one ninth-tier cultivators? Who wouldn't be dumbfounded?"
"Boss is awesome!"
"What's next? Fight?"
Su Fan glanced at the comments and smiled.
He looked at Jian Wudi.
What's been happening at Tianwaitian lately?
Jian Wudi came to his senses.
"Yes. A few small factions took advantage of your absence to do some dirty work."
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Small tricks?"
Jian Wudi nodded.
"Yes. They heard you went back to Earth and assumed you weren't coming back, so they started taking over your territory."
"They have occupied several parts of the territory of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."
Su Fan smiled.
Which factions?
Jian Wudi announced several names.
After listening, Su Fan looked at the eighty-one people.
"Brothers, we've got a job."
The eyes of all eighty-one people lit up.
"Boss, who are we going to hit?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Come on, let me show you how to do it."
……
three days later.
Beyond the heavens, in a certain small town.
A group of people stood at the city gate.
Leading the group was an elderly man in the mid-stage of the Saint realm, followed by a dozen or so disciples at the Heavenly Immortal realm and several at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
They are from the Tiangang Sect.
The Tiangang Sect is one of the forces that seized the territory of the Wanjian Pavilion by despicable means while Su Fan was away.
The old man looked into the distance and sneered.
"I heard Su Fan is back?"
A disciple standing nearby nodded.
"They're back. And they brought several hundred people with them."
The old man laughed.
"A few hundred people? The Myriad Swords Pavilion already has people; what difference would a few hundred more make?"
"My Heavenly Gang Sect also has tens of thousands of disciples, are we afraid of him?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a whooshing sound came from afar.
Su Fan descended from the sky with eighty-one people.
The old man's expression changed.
"Su Fan?!"
Su Fan looked at him.
"You are the Sect Master of the Heavenly Gang Sect?"
The old man took a deep breath.
"So what if it is?"
Su Fan smiled.
"You stole my Wanjian Pavilion's territory."
The old man's face turned pale.
"That, that was a misunderstanding..."
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm here today to collect debts."
He waved his hand.
Eighty-one people behind him rushed out at once.
Eighty-one early-stage ninth-level cultivators faced off against more than a dozen Heavenly Immortals and several Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Logically speaking, the early stage of the ninth rank is not enough to be considered.
But these people are all bound to Chinese deities.
With the blessing of divine power, his combat strength far surpasses that of others of the same level.
The old man in the middle stage of sainthood and several Golden Immortals were blocked by Su Fan.
Several early-stage ninth-level cultivators surrounded and attacked a Celestial Immortal, forcing him to retreat step by step.
"How is this possible?!" The old man's face turned ashen.
After an incense stick has burned.
The battle is over.
The members of the Tiangang Sect were either dead or wounded, and they were all lying on the ground.
The old man knelt before Su Fan, trembling all over.
"Spare me... Spare my life..."
Su Fan looked down at him.
"Spare me?"
The old man nodded vigorously.
"I, my Heavenly Gang Sect, am willing to submit and pay tribute annually..."
Su Fan smiled.
"Tribute? Do you know what will become of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance?"
The old man's face was deathly pale.
Su Fan raised his hand.
One sword.
The old man's head flew off.
Fresh blood gushed out.
Su Fan sheathed his sword and looked at the disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect.
"Those who want to live, join the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. Those who want to die, go with him."
A group of people knelt on the ground.
"I want to live! I want to live!"
Su Fan nodded.
"take away."
……
The next three days.
Su Fan led eighty-one men and swept away seven small forces that were taking advantage of the chaos.
Every faction met the same end.
The ringleader must be killed, and the rest must submit.
Three days later, all seven factions were merged into the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
The number of disciples in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion has surged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The entire outer heaven trembled once again.
"Su Fan is back!"
"He brought several hundred people, all of them at the early stage of the ninth rank!"
"What's so special about the early stage of the ninth rank? Even a Saint Realm cultivator wouldn't stand a chance!"
"But they're not just simple ninth-tier cultivators! Each of them is at the level of a Celestial Immortal."
"The Heavenly Gang Sect has been destroyed, the Cloud Alliance Sect has been destroyed, all seven forces are gone!"
"From now on, the Outer Heavens will truly be dominated by the Myriad Swords Pavilion!"
……
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan sat in the main hall, with eighty-one people standing in front of him.
After three days of actual combat, they have fully adapted to the power of the early stage of the ninth rank.
Some people even broke through and reached the mid-stage of the ninth rank.
Su Fan looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. You've been doing very well these past few days."
Eighty-one people shouted in unison.
"Thanks, boss!"
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Don't thank me. It's your own merit that made you successful."
He stood up.
"Now you are free. You are free to roam freely in the Outer Heavens, or you can return to Earth."
"Do whatever you want."
Everyone was taken aback.
"Boss, are you abandoning us?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Why should I interfere? You're all adults, do you still need me to feed you?"
Everyone laughed.
"Boss, shall we go?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Let's go. We'll call you if we need anything."
Eighty-one people dispersed.
Some stayed in the outer heavens to cultivate, while others returned to Earth to visit relatives.
Inside the main hall, only Su Fan, Lin Qingge, Emperor Gouchen, and Jian Wudi remained.
Jian Wudi looked at Su Fan.
"Su Fan, what are your plans next?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"Cultivation. I want to break through to the late stage of Sainthood."
Jian Wudi nodded.
"Very well. You are currently in the mid-stage of the Saint realm, and although you can kill someone at the second level of the Dao realm, that's only because of the Immortal Execution Sword. Your true strength is still a bit lacking."
Su Fan smiled.
"I know. That's why I need to cultivate."
He looked at Emperor Gouchen.
"Senior, will you protect me?"
Emperor Gouchen nodded.
"it is good."
……
Three months later.
The back mountain of Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan sat cross-legged on a boulder, surrounded by a faint golden light.
His aura was more than twice as strong as it was three months ago.
The later stages of a sage's life.
He made a breakthrough.
Su Fan opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing in them.
He stood up and stretched his limbs.
"The feeling is completely different when one reaches the later stages of becoming a sage."
Emperor Gouchen walked over.
"Not bad. A breakthrough in three months, that's very fast."
Su Fan smiled.
"good."
He looked into the distance.
"Senior, I would like to go to Tianxu again."
Emperor Gouchen raised an eyebrow.
"Tianxu? What for?"
Su Fan explained.
"Yuanshi Tianzun is still there. I want to go see him and ask if there's anything I can help him with."
Emperor Gouchen nodded.
"Alright. I'll go with you."
……
Tianxu.
The gray fog still shrouded the area for miles around.
Su Fan and Emperor Gouchen walked into the gray fog and arrived at the ruins.
In the center of the ruins, Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged on a giant rock.
Upon seeing Su Fan, he opened his eyes and smiled.
"The Envoy of the Gods, you have arrived."
Su Fan bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, senior."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.
"Not bad. He's reached the late stage of sainthood."
Su Fan smiled.
"Thanks to my senior."
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him.
"What business do you have with me?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"I'd like to ask if there's anything I can help you with?"
Yuanshi Tianzun laughed.
"Help? What do you want to help me with?"
Su Fan scratched his head.
"For example... perhaps look for other missing gods?"
Yuanshi Tianzun raised an eyebrow.
"Other gods?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. There are so many gods in China, there must be many more who are still living abroad."
Yuanshi Tianzun paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Very well. That's exactly what I was going to tell you."
He raised his hand, and a beam of golden light shot towards Su Fan.
As the golden light entered his body, countless pieces of information flooded Su Fan's mind.
It is filled with the names of Chinese deities and the locations of their statues.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke.
"These are the locations of the statues of gods that were scattered after that great battle."
"Go and get it back."
Su Fan gasped as he looked at the information.
Too much.
They are found throughout the outer heavens, and even in other worlds.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him.
"What, scared?"
Su Fan smiled.
"What are you afraid of? Just take your time looking."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well. I await your good news."
