I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

"Didn't they say that the Ancient Gods and Demons have long vanished, and there are no gods in this world? How could the Smell Fragrance Sect possibly allow Cisheng Mother to descend? Moreover, isn't the Cisheng Mother worshiped by the Smell Fragrance Sect a fabrication to deceive the ignorant masses?"

Han Zheng asked in surprise.

Wen Tingyun shook his head and replied, "Initially, I also thought that the Cisheng Mother of the Smell Fragrance Sect was merely made up by the sect itself. It wasn't until I went to the Observatory and exchanged words with Elder Wei that I realized the Cisheng Mother of the Smell Fragrance Sect seems to truly exist.

She can't be described as a real god, but there is indeed divinity within her, and sometimes she can even perform some unimaginable miracles."

However, these miracles don't manifest before the ignorant masses but appear only when the Smell Fragrance Sect faces great calamity.

This is why, even though the Court has wiped out the Smell Fragrance Sect several times, they are always able to resurrect.

Later, the Observatory speculated that the Cisheng Mother worshiped by the Smell Fragrance Sect is an extremely special existence, lacking a physical body, but possessing divinity.

However, for the Smell Fragrance Sect to summon her, they must pay a huge price. Hence, she only descends when the sect is on the brink of survival.

Now, if the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate could truly use the Incense Fire Divine Seal to create a Divine Body, there's hope to truly summon the descent of Cisheng Mother.

An existence with mere divinity and no Divine Body has enabled the Smell Fragrance Sect to remain immortal for thousands of years. Who knows what consequences having a Divine Body would bring?"

After hearing this, Han Zheng immediately said, "Summon the Jianghai Alliance, Great Compassion Temple, Xiao Family, and Wei Family, gather all forces in the Southern Mountain, and launch an attack on the Smell Fragrance Sect!"

Wen Tingyun's words were merely speculation, but Han Zheng dared not gamble on whether this guess was right or wrong.

If the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate actually summoned the descent of Cisheng Mother, everyone in the Southern Mountain would perish, and Great Zhou would face a massive upheaval.

Even though Han Zheng's orders were extremely hasty, various factions still managed to gather within three days and rushed to where the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate was entrenched.

At this moment, the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate was entrenched in the eastern part of the Southern Mountain.

Unlike the Night Sky God Venerable, who arrogantly occupied Kai Ping Prefecture directly, the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate did not occupy the State Mansion directly. Instead, he chose to establish the Smell Fragrance Sect's chapel in a valley, and commanded the people in the State Mansion to come daily to burn incense and worship.

Furthermore, unlike the Night Sky God Venerate who acted brutishly, he first had the rich merchants in each State Mansion defeated and seized their gold, silver, and grain. After the daily worship, the people were given a day's rations.

For those at the bottom, having nothing to do every day and just coming to worship to receive a day's ration seemed equivalent to manna from the heavens.

Thus, the region occupied by the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate not only didn't see people fleeing, but instead had people from surrounding areas continuously pouring in.

Accompanying Han Zheng and his coalition stepping into the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate's territory, they found the State Mansion deserted, resembling a ghost town.

The sight made Han Zheng feel slightly strange.

The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate's plot was significant, and he should at least have stationed someone in key locations throughout the State Mansion to guard against the Demon Cleansing Bureau, or left a few sect members to relay messages.

Yet, there was not a single person now, as if the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate had abandoned all defenses, which was quite peculiar.

Meanwhile, in an unnamed deep valley in the eastern part of the Southern Mountain, a gigantic lotus-shaped palace abruptly sat in the deepest part of the valley.

Every petal of the enormous lotus palace was a large magic platform, with the Incense Fire Divine Seal floating in the center.

Around the magic platform, tens of thousands of worshipers kneeled, with over thirty such lotus petal platforms. The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate didn't have just one Incense Fire Divine Seal, but over thirty!

The very center of the lotus petal was the pistil, shaped like a pyramid, layered upon layer, with an enormous magic platform, over a thousand zhang in size, in the middle.

Those kneeling were not commoners but martial artists.

They were from the Tiangang Sect; more were loose cultivators from the Southern Mountain, all displaying expressions of fear, daring not to lift their heads as they recited sacrificial texts.

The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate had only occupied the Southern Mountain for a short time, yet had constructed such an enormous chain of magic platforms; this wasn't a recent scheme.

At this moment, in the center of the pistil magic platform, there was no Incense Fire Divine Seal but a body gleaming with golden light.

The body was neither male nor female, its face indiscernible, but its flesh had become similar to that of the Incense Fire Divine Seal.

The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate gazed at the body, his expression serene, but his eyes were unduly exhilarated.

Cisheng Mother would soon truly descend upon this realm!

"God Venerate, are you truly confident that you can summon the descent of Cisheng Mother? My Tiangang Sect is wagering everything alongside you; I bet on you more than I ever did on Zuo Hanyu!"

Nie Yangcheng stood beside the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate, gazing at the body with a slight frown.

He wasn't one to hesitate, but upon knowing the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate's plan, he still felt shocked and somewhat incredulous.

Despite being a Yang God Realm martial artist, a top practitioner on the path, the secret of becoming a god was almost like being a legendary existence to him.

Yet now the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate tells him that their goal is to summon the descent of Cisheng Mother; this unbelievable and insane notion fills Nie Yangcheng with apprehension.

"Rest assured, Master Nie, I never undertake anything without absolute surety,"

The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate offered a slight smile: "Don't doubt the reality of Cisheng Mother. Without Her protection, how could our Holy Sect have survived so many tribulations?

Now, among the Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerables, besides the Sect Hierarch, my experience is the oldest, having lived through the Holy Sect's great calamity two hundred years ago!"

In that battle, I witnessed Cisheng Mother's descent, glimpsed the Nine-layered Pure Land as it opened a faint gap for me."

The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate squinted his eyes; his enchanting, dual-gendered face showed a look of intoxication.

"It's an unimaginable Immortal Heavenly Country, a realm beyond the reach or even imagination of mere mortals like us."

It was that single glimpse that led to my selection by Cisheng Mother, becoming one of the Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerables, and earning the secret to summon Cisheng Mother's descent.

Currently, throughout the Smell Fragrance Sect, only two people know of this secret to summon Cisheng Mother's descent: me and the Sect Hierarch."

This world is full of filth and impurity; Cisheng Mother, a divine celestial entity, cannot descend in her True Body, lest she be tainted by this mundane, turbid world.

Now, the Incense Fire Divine Seal can perfectly complement this point.

Once I refine this body and summon Cisheng Mother down, She can attach to this Divine Body and truly descend upon this world!"

A trace of mockery appeared in the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate's eyes: "The King of Youxin Country during Ancient Times was indeed an extraordinary figure, able to research this incense secret technique, to forge a Divine Body from a human form.

But sadly, human and god are different; how could a mere mortal dare desecrate the godly authority? How could they be fit to become a god?

Gods are birthed Innate, supreme and holy!

All who wish to become gods with human forms are acts of desecration!

But fortunately, they created this Incense Fire Divine Seal, allowing for the artificial creation of a Divine Body.

After Ancient Times, gods and demons dispersed, leaving Cisheng Mother as the sole true god in this world!"

The Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate stared intently at Nie Yangcheng: "Master Nie, I have already made you feel Cisheng Mother's presence and granted you the power of Nine Layers of Extreme Joy; how dare you doubt?

Once Cisheng Mother descends, I will be Her sole Deputy among mankind, while you will ascend beyond the Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerables!"
