Chapter 349 Birth (1)
Within a few days, one or two self-proclaimed mountain gods emerged in the mountains of the Nine Provinces, except for the Central Continent, Liangzhou, and the Canglan Mountains and waterways.
They look exactly like enlightened cultivators who have attained enlightenment, like birds, beasts, insects, and fish. They all have seals in their mouths, possess great strength, and have the ability to move mountains and stabilize the land.
However, the divine way declined while the immortal way began to flourish.
How could the various demon kings of the jungle, the great saints of the blessed lands, and the newly promoted immortals tolerate a mere upstart god coming to their territory and calling himself a god?
Fighting broke out in the jungle. These new gods were adept at burrowing underground; if they couldn't win, they would run away, and if they could, they would take over.
Many weak cultivators who refused to submit to the new god were confined to their caves and suppressed in leather bags made from placental membranes by the new god.
In Yuxu Mountain, the annual sermon conference is about to begin again, and countless minor cultivators who cannot afford to stay in Yuxu Mountain are heading there in a grand procession.
On a small path leading to the Jade Void Mountains, Shan Shui, with a broken bowl on his head, covered in earthen yellow, short arms and legs, and a black and yellow tiger tail, was riding a fierce white tiger.
They walked very slowly, but the earth seemed to come alive and moved like a stream of light, making the lesser cultivators who were traveling with them save time.
Upon reaching the foot of the Jade Void Mountain Range, the white-haired tiger stomped its four paws on the ground, connecting with the earth's veins.
He opened his mouth and roared fiercely, "Shan Baosheng, it was fine that you severed your connection when you attained enlightenment that day, but now that we have arrived, why don't you come out and acknowledge us?"
The sound, like thunder, echoed throughout the entire Jade Void Mountain Range, so loudly that it made Baosheng Jun, who had closed the door of the treehouse, feel pain in his eyes and ears.
He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the veins of the soil in the mountains clearly reflected in his eyes once more, and his six hands and wings were shining in the daylight.
The vegetation grew wildly, suddenly protruding right in front of Baoshengjun.
"It's all over!" Baoshengjun flapped his wings and stumbled down from the tree. He grabbed Shanwu's paw from under the familiar tree and cried out, "Awu, I'm having another episode of hysteria."
"Calm down, calm down..." Then Baoshengjun sat cross-legged on the spot and began chanting incantations. As the scriptures came out of his mouth, the radiant light on his body gradually disappeared into his wings.
Hearing the noise, She Shu had no choice but to hurry through the forest, as she needed to take care of Baosheng Jun and Youqiong Demon Emperor Shan Wu.
This Lord Baosheng came to the Jade Void Mountain Range twelve years ago with a group of junior cultivators who came together to listen to the sermon. It was because of his repeated question during the sermon: "Where can we find Lord Ji?"
When they pulled him down, he claimed to be Lord Baosheng, saying that Lady Ji had sent him to find him. Qingpingzi then asked She Shu to take care of him.
Before long, Gu Lin arrived with his two large yellow tigers. The Poor Demon King and the Pill Demon King stared at Baosheng Jun for a long time before finally concluding that he was a "naturally different species".
After that, the Demon King Youqiong would visit Lord Baosheng from time to time, and each time he came, he would bring him some items, so Lord Baosheng's life could be described as very wealthy.
Especially during the annual sermons, the Poor Demon King would always accompany Baosheng Jun.
She Shu looked at Baosheng Jun and said carefully, "Baosheng Jun, you are a rare being born and have recently attained the path of immortality. Now your sisters are calling you from outside. I will send you away."
"Sisters?" Baosheng-jun asked, his bright yellow eyes wide. "Lady Ji?"
She Shu shook her head and said, "Master Wanfa sent me a message the other day saying that you are one of the hundred talents in the mountain, while Master Qingji is a being who has cultivated after birth. She is much older than you and is not the same as you."
Shan Wudao was very happy and asked, "What do the people from outside look like?"
She Shu replied, "I just arrived. Let's go take a look together."
"I understand." Shan Wu nodded, opened his mouth wide, took Baoshengjun into his mouth, and then followed She Shu outside.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, She Shu saw a tiger in front of her with an extraordinary aura. It was pure white with no other colors, and its whole body radiated light.
The "human" seated on His body had a broken bowl on its head, exuded a mortal aura, and resembled the creations in Guangyang Palace in appearance.
She Shu immediately transformed into a celestial being and bowed to Shan Shui and Shan Hu, saying, "She Shu, the Demon King of the Jade Void Palace, who is under the command of the Great Sage Gao Yang, greets the two Divine Lords. My Uncle Master Wanfa is about to preach and is unable to come out to greet you, so I have specially ordered this little snake to bring the Divine Lord Baosheng here."
The mountain tiger gently set down the mountain and water, then stood up upright, raised its claws and said, "Thank you for your protection, Your Palace."
Looking at the glossy feathers and plump body of Shanwu, Shanshui was pleased, but his voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, "Brother, does your palace have a bird cultivator named Ji Rong?"
As soon as the sound of mountains and water faded, the surrounding plants and trees trembled and swayed their branches.
Upon hearing this, Shan Wu suddenly looked up, swished his tail, circled around Shan Shui and Shan Hu, and roared at the top of his lungs, "What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, She Shu immediately lowered her head and tried to cover for Shan Wu, saying, "The Divine Lord asked about Uncle Qing Ji Zi."
Master Wanfa is very protective of Aunt Qingji. We can't say for sure right now, but if you can wait, Master Wanfa will inform you after his sermon ends in three months.”
Shan Shui lowered his eyes, concealing the smile in them, and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"This brother is none other than the powerful demon king Shan Wu, born from the mountains and rivers of Canglan. Look at me now, my legs are short and my body weak; I can't walk far. The mountain tiger has carried me all this way with great difficulty. From now on, you will carry me."
Upon hearing this, the mountain tiger immediately bent down and turned to the mountain water, saying, "Brother, I'm not tired. This yellow-skinned tiger looks old; he's not as steady as me."
Shan Wu immediately turned his tail. He looked at the flowers that were slowly blooming across the fields because of the gods' joy, and his eyes were filled with tears. He said, "What the gods say is true. Now that we have come out, it is natural for me, Shan Wu, to carry the gods. As for the White Tiger God, since you are not tired, you can carry Lord Baosheng."
She Shu didn't understand the unspoken feelings and subtle hints between them, and simply arranged for them to stay in a luxurious guesthouse outside the mountain gate, a place used to entertain distinguished guests, as was customary.
When it was being built, Qing Guanzi disagreed, saying that cultivators and immortals of high status would send their visiting cards to sleep on the cliff, while ordinary cultivators in the countryside would not need to live here.
She Shu built the guesthouse under pressure, and now the place is finally coming in handy.
Upon entering the room, Shanshui politely instructed She Shu to attend to her needs and told Shanhu to wait outside the door.
Although Shanhu was unwilling, he was also afraid of Shanshui's fists, so he obediently tucked his tail between his legs and stood guard outside the door.
As soon as Shan Hu went out, Shan Wu closed the door and quickly erected an isolation barrier, surrounding him and Shan Shui. He choked out, "You are... Shan Shui?"
Shan Shui happily shook the tiger tail behind him and said, "It's me, my elder brother!"
...In an instant, all the ownerless plants and trees throughout Kyushu seemed to sense something and began to sway their branches and buds.
After settling the uninvited gods, She Shu called Ke Ben and said, "Go quickly and tell Gu Lin Dan Sheng that Shan Hu, one of the Hundred Sons of the Mountain, has brought a group of 'people' to find Uncle Qing Ji Zi. It seems that they know You Qiong Yao Huang Shan Wu."
"Have him send one of his disciples to the Danxue Mountains to deliver the message."
