"O Upper God, we will certainly build a statue for you and worship day and night, asking only for your protection over us." The village chief imdiately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Just asking for the Mountain God's protection!" The others, seeing this, also knelt and called out repeatedly.
"Mm." Mu Rufeng nodded slightly, then looked outside.
"Hmm? A flying human? Could it be, you're a Divine Official? I've heard Divine Officials are the tastiest. Co down and let eat you, and I'll spare the village a month's provisions."
The Tiger Demon spoke shalessly to Mu Rufeng.
Hearing this, Mu Rufeng was amused by the Tiger Demon's words.
"You, a re Tiger Demon, haven't even transford, and you dare to speak so boastfully? Does your mother know?" Mu Rufeng chuckled softly.
"My mother? My mother's long dead. Human, dare you co out and battle ?" The Tiger Demon roared loudly again.
Mu Rufeng shook his head slightly, and with a single point of his finger.
In an instant, the Tiger Demon's head exploded directly.
Red and white matter scattered all over the ground.
With a dull "bang," the Tiger Demon's body fell heavily to the ground.
"Alright, the Tiger Demon is dealt with. Hurry and make a statue for ." Mu Rufeng said.
The villagers, having witnessed the Tiger Demon's death, were all extrely astonished.
"Yes~~~yes!" Hearing Mu Rufeng's words, each of them responded imdiately.
More than twenty years ago, there was a fierce Pig Demon rampaging in the mountains, and they had invited a Divine Official to slay the Pig Demon.
The aura of that Pig Demon wasn't as strong as this Tiger Demon.
Many of the village elders had witnessed it, but they hadn't expected soone stronger than that Pig Demon to be even more powerful than a Divine Official.
Building a statue ans this is a real Upper God, not just a so-called Divine Official?
The village chief thought Mu Rufeng was a Divine Official, and called him Upper God just to elevate his status and gain favor.
Now it seems, he was right to call him that.
Mu Rufeng's figure flickered and vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already in the central temple of the village.
This village, though poor, still with thatched huts, had a remarkably well-built temple.
With tiles, brick walls, and so on, it was completely different from the rest of the village.
It seems the villagers knew it didn't matter if they lived in poor conditions, but the deity's statue certainly couldn't.
Mu Rufeng could clearly see wisps of incense steam continuously flowing in from outside, then being absorbed by the statue.
Unlike the village, this temple only had one statue, which was the Thunder God Statue.
The offering table was filled with food, and the copper tripod ahead was brimming with lit candles.
It was evident these people ca to worship daily.
Mu Rufeng carefully sensed the statue and discovered it was filled with intense Power of Incense.
The statue was also imbued with spirit, seemingly ready to co to life at any ti.
This should be the unique ability held by deities of the Divine World.
No matter the location, the deity could descend directly through the statue.
"This Power of Incense is definitely sothing valuable. I wonder if there's a way to take it without being noticed?"
Mu Rufeng stroked his chin, pondering constantly.
"Wait, it seems, it might be quite simple."
Mu Rufeng suddenly realized that although the statue could house the power of the Thunder God, with Mu Rufeng's ability, he could easily extract a portion of the Power of Incense without the Thunder God knowing.
Because it's impossible for the Thunder God to constantly monitor every statue or know the power contained within each one.
As long as a little is left, taking more or less wouldn't be noticed by the Thunder God.
And the main reliance is on his Virtualization Ability; only with it can Mu Rufeng enter the statue to extract the Power of Incense.
If other Daluo Immortals didn't have the Virtualization Ability, extracting the Power of Incense would certainly be detected by the Thunder God.
Determined, Mu Rufeng imdiately virtualized and plunged directly into the statue.
The dense Power of Incense was absorbed into Mu Rufeng's body.
After absorbing about ninety percent of the Power of Incense, Mu Rufeng stopped.
Taking any more would be unwise.
And at this mont, the statue still looked magnificent, as if ready to co to life.
He thought, since he could steal the deities' Power of Incense, perhaps he could use this opportunity to find the rebellious group?
The Divine World is vast, and though he was strong, searching would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
With this in mind, Mu Rufeng made up his mind, imdiately implanted a force into the statue, and then left Cliff Village directly.
...
Mu Rufeng arrived in the Mountain Town, several miles away.
This was a town nad Mountain Town, and villagers from within a hundred miles purchased almost all necessities here.
So mountain goods were sold here too.
There were also visiting rchants, making this market town quite bustling.
Although Cliff Village was not far in a straight line from the mountain, at most a dozen kiloters, there were treacherous lands blocking the way.
If they wanted to go to the Mountain Town, they had to take a roundabout route, which is why each trip took at least several days.
Going to invite a Divine Official was faster since on returning, they wouldn't need to take the long route, as the Divine Official would fly them over the danger.
