Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Appealing to the Mountain God
Translator: 549690339
“Such disdain for demons!”
As the vast golden light floating above the mountain’s lake dissipates, the enormous white snake that has been suppressed for nine days straight, unable to move, rears half of its body and roars skyward.
The lake stirs with its enraged roar, the mountains encircling the lake tremble slizhtly, and the clouds linfering around the peaks father. The previously bright sky quickly darkens. A storm is imminent, the Yin Wind gusts.
This demonstrates the power of a great demon; their thoughts alone can manipulate celestial phenomena!
Nevertheless, even such a terrifying demon is filled with rage. It was made a fool of by a mere wolf demon, forced to look on helplessly as the latter consumed the Spirit Fruits from the ancient tree it had occupied.
Although those fruits were merely occasional snacks it enjoyed, the actions of the wolf demon were undoubtedly an insult, a blatant mockery.
It could not bear this, yet, looking towards the direction of the wolf demon, it understood that chasing it now would be pointless— nothing more than a self-humiliation. It would only prolong the previous nine days of humiliation, awkwardly lying on the ground while the wolf demon examined it curiously, even using its scales to sharpen its nails.
“The mighty righteous Qi!”
After venting its anger, the great white snake calms down.
The wolf demon is unimportant. If it weren’t for the mighty Qi, its own Demon
Qi would have been enough to crush the wolf and prevent it from coming close.
The thing that truly humiliated and shamed it was that incomprehensible mighty Qi. It’s not that it had never encountered scholars who nurtured the mighty Qi.
But those scholars often lost their gall upon seeing it, let alone using their mighty Qi to suppress it. Once it met a scholar who had the potential to become a great scholar. The scholar audaciously tried to suppress it but ended up wasting his Literary Heart.
“What does the Human Race want to do with the mountains?
At this moment, thoughts swirled in the snake’s mind. The mighty Qi was clearly related to the Human Race, and a wolf demon who could carry such terrifying Qi to suppress it in the woods must have some ulterior motive.
But this matter has exceeded its capacity to handle; someone able to leave such mighty Qi on an ordinary book is not someone it can provoke.
“I must report this to the Mountain God!”
The more it thought, the more aggrieved and angry it became. The white snake swung its tail, and the cloud that had gathered due to its rage instantly wrapped around its long body.
Immediately, the white snake rose up through the clouds like a white dragon breaking out of the water, heading towards the center of the vast mountain range.
That is a majestic mountain standing amongst other mountains, overseeing the vast sea of clouds. It looks like it could prop up the sky. When the white snake arrived through the clouds and used its demonic power to stir up the sea of clouds around the mountain, a will that had been dormant for a long time was awakened from its slumber.
Suddenly, the ground trembles. Numerous rocks crack open. Countless plants and trees are buried or broken by the rolling mud and stones.
However, the violent movement is quickly halted because the revived will senses the disaster caused by its unintentional movement.
So, an unusual sight appears on the great mountain: the collapsing rocks, falling trees, even the buried plants and startled life all reverts back to normal within the blink of an eye, just as it was before the land trembles.
“Mountain God His Highness!”
The great white snake coils in the sea of clouds, looking up at the mountain that had returned to its previous state. As it calls out, a gigantic dragon head, so large that it’s hard to imagine, appears at the summit.
The mountain rocks and the trees fell like water, splitting at the sides. Such a dramatic change didn’t cause a single blade of grass to break; the awakened existence is unimaginably gentle.
However, as the mountain splits open, more and more of the body of this Mountain God is revealed. The dark green horns, long snout, the flowing whiskers, and the already manifested Green Scales—this is a terrifying entity transforming from a serpent into a dragon.
It’s hard to imagine how long it has been dormant under this great mountain, allowing dust to accumulate, forming rocks, and even allowing trees to grow on its body.
“Bai Qi! What is it?”
With only a small part of its body revealed, the rest of the Mountain God’s body remains in the mountain, merged with it. Its jade-like dragon eyes passively observe the white snake as if capable of accepting all living creatures thriving in the mountain.
“Mountain God His Highness, a member of the Human Race has offended your majesty, intending to extend power into the mountains!”
“On what grounds?”
The Mountain God shows no signs of joy or anger.
“Ten days ago…”
The great demon Bai Qi narrates all the humiliation it has suffered over these days in detail, without any hiding, no need to hide anything in front of this existence.
“Righteous Qi that can suppress and incapacitate you, and it can be carried by a small demon?”
After listening to the description of the great demon, the Mountain God shows surprise.
Thus, the green dragon-serpent raises its enormous head high. The light symbolizing divinity appears in the depth of its eyes. Then, the dragon-serpent looks down at the mountain range; scenes of thousands of miles of mountains gradually appear in its eyes, finally stopping on a huge black wolf that is currently sprinting.
“I see!”
Seeing the black wolf, the Mountain God understands everything. Lowering its head, it looks at the great demon who has come to complain. “I understand everything and know the origin of the righteous Qi!”
“Mountain God His Highness, please arbitrate this matter!”
Bai Qi immediately bows down. It understands that it won’t be able to regain its dignity. The humiliation it experienced can only be rectified by this Mountain God.
Because even the righteous Qi of the Human Race cannot suppress the Mountain God in front of it.
This Mountain God is different from the spirits all over the world, depending on the power of the incense and fire of creatures to govern the water veins of the earth. It has been recognized by the great mountain and approved by heaven and earth. It doesn’t need enfeoffment. As long as the mountain exists, the Mountain God will exist.
This Mountain God is the ruler of the mountain, the symbol of the will of all living creatures in the mountain. No matter how terrifying the righteous Qi is, how can it suppress all beings in the world?
“What’s your loss?”
The Mountain God’s jade eyes are calm and serene, like a calm lake, asking.
“Or what have you lost?”
The big snake opened its mouth, finding itself speechless. A loss? Did it suffer any loss? The little wolf demon couldn’t even scratch its scales. It just ate a few fruits that were used to satisfy its cravings. When viewed from the Mountain God’s perspective, this was hardly a loss. Mentioning this would only make it lose face.
What truly angered it was the sense of humiliation. It wanted to vent but it couldn’t. Moreover, what was the intention behind allowing a small demon with such powerful Qi to run rampant in the mountains?
“I understand your point.. I will send an envoy to bring that little one here and discuss it with the people behind him!”
