Chapter 111 Lord Canglan (2)
Unlike other deities, Canglan God was a premature baby and should not have been born so late.
But in the later stages of His being nurtured by the spiritual source, the spiritual vein collapsed; He was scooped out by a giant claw and thrown into the Canglan Mountains like trash.
With the spiritual veins shattered, all things in the mountains and rivers lose their spiritual energy for nourishment. During the day, there will be endless mountain fires and floods, and at night, the land will be frozen solid.
The increasingly harsh living environment has caused creatures outside of Zhongzhou to gradually become abnormal.
Yama's father found Him.
At that time, Shan Wu's father was just a black tiger demon in the mortal realm. When he saw that the divine fetus was round and fragrant, like a roasted egg, he took it back as a spirit egg left behind by some beast and presented it to Shan Wu's mother as if it were a treasure.
At this time, Shanwu's mother was experiencing the pain of losing her son. Her children had either died or gone missing in this catastrophe, leaving Shanwu as her only heir.
Because he did not have enough spiritual materials to feed him, Shan Wu remained in a state of not being fully enlightened, and appeared to be dull and stupid; but when he saw the fragrant divine embryo, he held it in his arms and treated it as his own younger brother.
His last brother went mad yesterday and ran away, where he was burned to death, but the somewhat mentally challenged man was unaware of it.
The mountain held the divine fetus day and night, nestled under its mother's belly and refusing to let go.
Huang Hu's mother also followed Shan Wu, holding the divine fetus, and they lived like this.
Every time Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom brought back something good, Shan Wudu would insist on saving a portion for the Divine Embryo; after some time, Tiger Mom actually heard a heartbeat coming from the egg at night.
So, Tiger Mom dug out all the spirit crystals and essences she had accumulated for fun overnight and began to carefully nurture this divine fetus.
After Tiger Mom's savings were exhausted, the divine fetus still hadn't emerged. Instead, Shan Wukaizhi spoke up.
Tiger mom and tiger dad believed this child was extraordinary.
So, they climbed trees and pried open bird nests every day in the mountains, using their savage bodies to steal the spiritual essence from the bird nests to nourish their divine embryos, but this was still not enough.
As she listened to the increasingly weak heartbeat of the divine fetus, Tiger Mom's anxiety grew. In a daze, she felt that the divine fetus was her own child, and she would go crazy in front of Tiger Dad every day in the cave.
Tiger Father was forced into a corner and had no choice but to go against his instincts and risk his life to take his wife Tiger Mother, son Shan Wu, and divine fetus to find Lord Shi Lan of Canglan Mountain.
At this moment, the old phoenix Shilan of the Canglan Mountains had its divine essence shattered and was on the verge of death, being pressed under the temple and unable to move.
He was born in these mountains and still has a deep attachment to the Canglan Mountains;
He was going to die, but He did not want to die at all, because He sensed that His successor was on his way here, pinned to the ground by a giant ice floe that fell from the sky, unable to escape, and frozen to death.
Shi Lan held on to his last breath, staring intently at the scorched earth before him, hoping that the heavens and earth would show some mercy to the Canglan Mountains.
When He saw Tiger Dad's family appear with the divine fetus, He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy before His death.
He infused the remaining divine essence within his body into the divine embryo, and then had the divine seal of Canglan Mountain recognize the divine embryo as its master.
He pointed to the giant, broken paulownia tree beside the temple and said to Tiger Dad, “My nest is under the trunk. Your family can sleep there around the divine fetus. If He is born, you will be better off.”
After saying this, Shi Lan breathed his last happily. His golden soul flew to the nest under the trunk of the paulownia tree, forming an unclosed barrier.
Once the tiger parents carried the divine fetus and Shan Wu into the phoenix nest, the barrier was sealed off.
The phoenix nest was dry and warm, untouched by fire or frost. The tiger mother placed the divine fetus under her belly and began to incubate it, just like birds do when they incubate their eggs.
The tigers huddled in their den, gnawing on tree bark when hungry and licking dewdrops from the paulownia leaves when thirsty. After three months of incubation, the three tigers were emaciated, but finally hatched the Canglan Divine Lord Mountain and Water.
Once the mountains and rivers were born, the Canglan Mountain God Seal finally had a true master. As if sensing something, the divine soul barrier of the old mountain god Shilan transformed back into a firebird and entered the Canglan Mountain God Seal.
The newborn Canglan God was born with exceptional wisdom and was well-versed in all principles.
It could not speak, could not open its eyes, and its six hands and two hooves were all short and weak, and its body was wrinkled and extremely ugly.
Fortunately, Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Shan Wu were overjoyed at His birth. Seeing that this strange child had hands that resembled tiger claws, they firmly believed that this was their child.
The God of Canglan grew up gradually, drinking the Tiger Mother's milk and growing up among His new family members on the ruins of the Canglan Temple.
In the first year after His birth, fires gradually stopped breaking out in the Canglan Mountains, and the nights were no longer freezing. His family ended their life of eating rotten flesh and fallen leaves, and the weak Canglan God finally stopped drinking only tiger milk and began to eat fish and tender grass.
By the tenth year, the number of living creatures in the Canglan Mountains had increased. The Canglan God, who was unable to activate the Mountain God Seal, became the object of secret ridicule from the various tribes of the Canglan Mountains. This caused the young God great confusion. He often looked at himself by the water and examined his tiger claws repeatedly to confirm that he was indeed a tiger.
But their lives have generally improved.
The increasingly abundant spiritual food helped the family recover their health.
When the Canglan Divine Lord was 180 years old, the spiritual veins beneath the Canglan Mountains finally responded to the Canglan Divine Lord's Canglan Mountain God Seal; in that year, the Canglan Divine Lord straightened out the main spiritual vein of the Canglan Mountains along the broken spiritual vein.
Nourished by the spiritual vein, the tiger mother gave birth to twin black tigers, Shan Zuo and Shan You, from the old clam. A hundred years later, the tiger father and tiger mother passed away peacefully at the extraordinary ages of 675 and 680 respectively.
When the Canglan God Lord reached the age of 350 and attained enlightenment at Canglan Mountain, completely seizing control of the Canglan Mountain Range, he was moved by his experiences since birth and named himself Shanshui (Mountain and Water), and named his wet nurse brother Shanwu (Mountain Without).
Then, He discovered that He possessed the ability to transform mountains and rivers into His own; moreover, He was originally a god who should have been born from the spiritual source, but He was thrown out before the source core attached to Him was removed.
Therefore, the Spirit Source was always friendly to the Canglan God Lord, and the Heavenly Palaces' blockade of the Spirit Source was as good as nothing to the Canglan God Lord. He could obtain as much spiritual energy as he wanted.
However, due to the situation of the heavenly palaces and his own weakness, the Canglan God-Lord kept a very low profile in this regard.
He only connected the spiritual stream of the Canglan Mountains to the spiritual source by following the heavenly water during his enlightenment, and then did nothing more, remaining a minor deity to Him for many years.
His brother Shan Wu stayed with Him for many years and was nourished by Him. In the year that He attained enlightenment in the Canglan Mountains, He became an emperor.
Now, Shan Wu is only one step away from becoming a saint; however, Shan Wu is not very bright, so his path to sainthood has been stalled.
Tiger Mom's later children, Shan Zuo and Shan You, were slightly less gifted, but their minds were much more normal than their older brother who had experienced the catastrophe.
Now, both the left and right sides of the mountain have been emperors for many years, only one step away from becoming saints; this step is equally difficult, as their bloodlines limit their cultivation potential.
The Divine Lord Canglan disliked having servants around.
Now He has those two little brothers serving Him, intending to use the divine energy emanating from His own body to nourish them and help them break free from the shackles in their bloodlines.
