The Earth Guardian True Monarch could discern the quality of the Earth Vein Dragon Marrow Incense, but what He was currently inhaling offered an even higher effect.
The Earth Guardian True Monarch had the answer: "This is Zhu Fenxiang’s Innate Incense Ascension."
Zhu Fenxiang possessed the Incense Ascension ability, which could elevate the quality of the incense offerings by a level. This was highly suitable for cultivating the Divine Summoning Technique. Its utility seemed insignificant, yet it was unadorned and extremely practical.
It was precisely because of this advantage that the Earth Guardian True Monarch chose Zhu Fenxiang as one of His important followers.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Earth Guardian True Monarch, Zhu Fenxiang hurriedly knelt and, using her Divine Sense, sincerely and earnestly expressed her apologies.
She regarded the Earth Guardian True Monarch as her primary deity in cultivation and was very well acquainted with His nature. During this fierce battle with Situ Xing, a rift formed between her and the Earth Guardian True Monarch’s avatar, not fully in sync, which resulted in a flaw.
Zhu Fenxiang was well aware that she had already aroused the Earth Guardian True Monarch’s displeasure.
"Therefore, this time, I seized the opportunity of Ning Zhuo, made a significant offering, and worshiped the Earth Guardian True Monarch. However, regardless of the outcome, it will at least allow me to eliminate the rift with the primary deity."
Zhu Fenxiang acted under the guise of public interest, secretly harboring such a small calculation.
The Earth Guardian True Monarch rebuked Zhu Fenxiang a few times, stating that in consideration of her past offerings, He would overlook this incident and then inquired about her intention in summoning Him this time.
Zhu Fenxiang achieved her initial goal and was delighted, promptly reporting her situation.
The Earth Guardian True Monarch naturally noticed the outsider Ning Zhuo, and thought that merely intervening slightly would resolve the issue while receiving multiple offerings in return, why not?
Zhu Fenxiang was not surprised that the Earth Guardian True Monarch agreed. She had already probed Mengye Tiger’s background, knowing that the Earth Element divine skill was only mysterious and exquisite, not inherently powerful. For the Earth Guardian True Monarch, it was merely a trivial effort.
This was also one of the reasons Zhu Fenxiang assured Ning Zhuo that she could resolve the matter.
Zhu Fenxiang remained in her kneeling posture and turned to congratulate Ning Zhuo: "The God has agreed, Young Master Ning, quickly take out the Mechanical Puppet."
Ning Zhuo’s face lit up with delight, thinking how wonderful it was to solve the problem with money.
Immediately, he took out the Mengye Tiger.
"Hmm?!" The Earth Guardian True Monarch swept His Divine Sense and, detecting Mengye Tiger’s condition, was suddenly shocked.
"This is the Filthy Earth Cocoon of Divine Skills! This magic power aura... indeed, it is the Lord of Wanchuan."
"The split spirit cultivated by the Lord of Wanchuan is the Earth Evil God."
"But according to rumors, after a life-and-death battle, that split spirit had already been dispelled."
"So, this small Mechanical Puppet participated in that grand battle?"
The Earth Guardian True Monarch instantly locked Ning Zhuo with His Divine Sense, carefully examining the big-headed youth, wondering: "What is the background of this youth?"
The Lord of Wanchuan is indeed a monarch in the Netherworld.
Currently, in the Netherworld, the war between the Wangchuan Underworld and the Ghost Fire Underworld has been underway from beginning to end.
Initially, outsiders could not understand at all why the Ghost Fire Underworld went berserk, launching a full-scale war of extinction against the Wangchuan Underworld of such magnitude!
Could it be that the Ghost Fire Underworld was not afraid of other underworlds on its borders taking advantage of the situation?
But as the war progressed, with the Ghost Fire Underworld advancing in full, outsiders saw through the outer strength but inner weakness of the Wangchuan Underworld.
They finally realized that the Ghost Fire Underworld must have known some insider details, confirming that the Wangchuan Underworld was extremely weakened, making it the perfect opportunity for invasion, hence their actions!
The full-scale war between the Wangchuan Underworld and the Ghost Fire Underworld was raging intensely. According to common sense, the Lord of Wanchuan must have deployed various National Skills, resisted external enemies, and fully exerted his home-field advantage.
Yet, he seldom took action, exposing the truth of his weakness to the public.
Outsiders naturally frantically probed the reasons, eventually uncovering the battle fought by the Lord of Wanchuan before.
Many of the details about this battle were strictly sealed by the Lord of Wanchuan. The Ghost Fire Lord, for his own benefit, did not expose it either. The two sides had a natural tacit understanding in this regard.
In the Netherworld, countless cultivators and forces focused their attention on this grand, fierce national war.
Although the Earth Guardian True Monarch was a cultivator in the Mortal World, He became a god in the Netherworld and was naturally quite attentive to it.
Now, before Him, lay a precious clue within reach!
"God?" Zhu Fenxiang became increasingly uneasy as the Earth Guardian True Monarch did not respond.
According to past experiences, the Earth Guardian True Monarch acted quite decisively; once agreed, action would follow swiftly, characterized by decisiveness and swiftness.
His main form in the Netherworld, with a barrier, transmits Divine Power and Divine Arts to the Mortal World, a process that consumes quite a bit.
Although the Earth Guardian True Monarch is a Great God, He has not long been promoted to this status. Everything must be calculated meticulously.
This also meant He had a large demand for offerings.
He was a good god with quite a reputation for handling matters as long as the price was paid.
The Earth Guardian True Monarch indeed hesitated, casually calming Zhu Fenxiang with a word, then pursued further inquiry about Ning Zhuo’s identity.
Zhu Fenxiang became even more astonished; this was an unprecedented situation. The Earth Guardian True Monarch had His pride; why would He suddenly become interested in an outsider like Ning Zhuo?
"Could it be that the presence of a Transforming Spirit Level existence touching the Tiger Head Mechanism Puppet aroused the God’s concern?"
"Who has Ning Zhuo provoked, exactly?"
Zhu Fenxiang’s knowledge of Ning Zhuo was limited, mostly confined to Ning Zhuo’s various performances after arriving in the Flying Cloud Country and entering the Myriad Images Sect’s Main Mountain Gate.
