Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1059 - 314: (Grand Finale) (End of Book)

The night was dark and surging.

Summer rain poured down in torrents.

"Fellow young Taoist Priests, have you ever heard that hundreds of years ago in the Great Zhou Dynasty... there was a Daoist who cut down demons and devils along his path until he had cleared the Three Realms of all evil spirits and demons?"

"Hey! Back then, I, the old God of the Earth, was just a mountain spirit who had newly awakened to spiritual wisdom, and from afar, I saw that Immortal Master Daoist fight with his own fists, subduing mountains and rivers!"

"Let’s not even talk about Great Demons that have cultivated for a thousand years, even the Evil God and Deceitful Immortal were not his match with a single blow."

"That fiery battle scene, to this day, I can’t forget it!"

Here, in his tone, it was inevitable to sense a little pride: "Back then, I, the old God of the Earth, even had a few words with that Immortal Master Daoist!"

"When that Immortal Master Daoist came before me, I thought he would kill me, but instead, he just asked me for directions."

"At that time, I was still a monster without form, but he saw at a glance that I could understand human speech."

"With just one look, one could tell he possessed Great Divine Powers!"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, within an Earth Temple,

a few young Taoist Priests who had come down the mountain to gain experience and sought shelter from the rain in the Earth Temple, were sitting around a short, elderly figure.

Those young faces were filled with shock and awe.

For these young Taoist Priests, only in their teens or twenties, having a God of the Earth appear and chat with them here... was already enough to astonish them.

And this God of the Earth even held such high regard for an Immortal Master Daoist from hundreds of years ago.

They truly couldn’t imagine... just how powerful that Immortal Master Daoist must have been?

"Earth... God of the Earth, sir."

One of the Daoists asked with utmost respect, "The Immortal Master Daoist you spoke of, from hundreds of years ago, if he was that powerful, has he achieved immortality?"

"This... cough cough!"

The God of the Earth coughed awkwardly and said, "I, the old God of the Earth, am not quite clear about the affairs of the Upper Realm... all I know is that, back then, the Immortal Master Daoist went straight up to the Heavenly Court."

"It is said that the Immortal Master Daoist had a great battle with the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court. To my knowledge, quite a few immortals perished that year!"

The young Taoist Priests were stunned.

Can immortals die too? And... shouldn’t the Immortal Master Daoist belong to the Daoist Sect?

Why would he clash with the Immortal Gods?

And...

He was even more powerful than the immortal gods?

What?

Just as someone was about to ask another question, suddenly, light footsteps seemed to echo from outside the Earth Temple; the sound of shoes stepping on the muddy road was quite distinct.

Splat—

Splat—

Splat—

The group of young Taoist Priests who had come down the mountain to gain experience became immediately alert.

For their elders had warned them, when at the foot of the mountain, one must always remain vigilant.

Even though there were very few demons and ghosts in the mundane world these days.

Very few didn’t mean none, and bad luck might lead them to encounter some, right?

Or perhaps...

It was not only demons and ghosts that could pose a danger.

Sometimes...

Humans could be more dangerous than demons and ghosts!

"Ha, this rain is truly fucking heavy!" Vulgar speech made everyone in the Earth Temple frown, but the next second they were stunned.

For a very tall and burly figure stood at the entrance of the Earth Temple, and the man was stepping inside.

They had never seen anyone so tall.

The man had to duck his head slightly as he entered the door.

Otherwise, he would have crashed through the doorframe.

"Yo? Quite a few people here!" As this person stepped into the Earth Temple, everyone then noticed that he too was dressed in a Daoist Robe.

The way the other person was dressed in the Daoist robe was very...

Hmm...

Should we call it carefree, perhaps?

Because that look seemed less Taoist...

and more like a ruffian from the streets.

Suddenly...

someone noticed that the expression on the God of the Earth’s face was a bit off. His small, old man-like face was filled with shock and astonishment, as if he had seen someone unbelievable.

"Fan... Fan... Fan..."

The God of the Earth stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence. He was looking at a face he could never forget in a lifetime, one he was certain he could never misidentify.

"Daoist Fan Wu!"

He didn’t know how long he had been stuttering, but he finally managed to articulate the short phrase clearly.

Fan Wu lowered his gaze and looked down at the God of the Earth before him, his lips curving into a smile, "Little guy, I heard you boasting about me from afar. I didn’t expect that I had missed you!"

"You... You really are Daoist Fan Wu!" The God of the Earth’s eyes brimmed with hot tears, and he was somewhat flustered and fearful.

Clearly, he had never imagined that after a few hundred years, he would have the chance to meet this Immortal Master Daoist again, with whom he had had a brief encounter long ago.

"Daoist, you said you missed me?" the God of the Earth timidly asked, "Does that mean, you came here specifically to find me?"

Fan Wu chuckled, "What? Not welcome?"

"No no no..." the God of the Earth hurriedly replied, "I’m just too shocked. I never thought you would come looking for me."

At that moment...

Fan Wu began to speak, "I am not one who has severed mundane ties or cut off all desires and emotions. After returning from journeying through the Chaos Realm, I looked for my former ’friends’ to gift them with a chance at immortality."

"Whether they once shared drinks with me, helped me with tasks, fought alongside me, showed me kindness, or simply caught my fancy."

"I recommended them, and they ascended to the ranks of the Immortals in one leap, no longer bound by the limits of life span."

After speaking, Fan Wu glanced at the Earth Deity, "When I once asked you for directions, you did give me a little help. But I didn’t realize that without my aid, you had become a God of the Earth, causing me to unintentionally overlook you."

"Today, I shall make up for that omission to you, little one!"

Beneath the God of the Earth’s wide-eyed expression of astonishment...

Fan Wu merely breathed out a breath, and his overflowing life force and True Essence Immortal Power flowed like a tide into the God of the Earth’s body.

In an instant!

The divine rank of the other party soared by several levels!

Even if his title and divine position still remained that of a God of the Earth, his strength had reached the standard of a City God of a prefecture!

For Fan Wu as he was now, accomplishing such a task required nothing more than a single breath.

After all...

Fan Wu himself had almost lost count of his "Life" and "Power" attributes. It was a number so large that not even he was sure of the level he stood upon.

Anyway...

A stroll in the heavens revealed there were few gods who could match him.

"Many... many thanks, Immortal Master Daoist!!"

The God of the Earth, realizing he had been granted an immense opportunity, was nearly in tears.

He even made a thumping sound as he immediately knelt before Fan Wu.

This scene...

left the young Taoists, who had descended the mountain to train, dumbfounded.

Everything seemed too dreamlike.

This Daoist Fan Wu...

Who on earth was he?
