Chapter 454: Chapter 217: The Origins of Nannan_2

Chen Shi was surprised in his heart and followed the creature to Xuan Shan.

The spirits of Qianyang Mountain, including Granny Sha, had already gathered together. When they saw him approaching, they each let out a sigh of relief.

Granny Sha said, "I’ve sent the GGs to notify the powerful spirits in the mountain, as well as Granny Sha and the others, to come and discuss Nannan’s matter. With such a powerful spirit coming to Qianyang Mountain, they must be prepared."

As she spoke, the titans of Qianyang Mountain arrived at Xuan Shan one after another. The mountain was too vast, and there were many extraordinary and strong spirits within, who had coalesced into divine beings, offering protection to the locality. Among them were spirits that even Chen Shi had never seen.

"Uncle Green Sheep!"

Chen Shi saw the green sheep and approached him.

The green sheep acted as a godmother during the day and an Evil Spirit at night, making it one of the powerful entities of Qianyang Mountain, thus it was included in the invitation.

Apart from the green sheep, another mighty being arrived at Xuan Shan. The Great Snake Xuan Shan personally greeted him and invited him to take a seat of honor, showing great respect.

Uncle Green Sheep whispered to Chen Shi, "That is the Lord of Wuwang City, with unfathomable cultivation. Your grandfather once probed into Wuwang City but couldn’t figure out his true nature."

Chen Shi looked towards the Lord of Wuwang City, seeing him dressed as a Confucian scholar with a robust figure, sitting there with his head enshrouded in a circle of light, his features faintly discernible.

The Lord of Wuwang City looked towards him and nodded slightly.

Chen Shi responded with a smile.

"Don’t talk to him."

Uncle Green Sheep seemed nervous as he said, "Wuwang City is his Ghost God Domain, and talking to him carelessly could cost you your tongue. I once had my tongue pulled out by him for being too talkative, and it was only after your grandfather and the sly fox stormed his place that they managed to retrieve it."

Chen Shi turned solemn and whispered softly, "What is the origin of the Lord of Wuwang City?"

"Your grandfather suspected he was from the underworld, lingering in the mortal world for some unknown reason. He also doubted whether he was a mature Demon God. We tried to trace his steps but never discovered his true identity."

Uncle Green Sheep glanced at the Lord of Wuwang City and said in a low voice, "He hides in Wuwang City as if avoiding something, going to the underworld during the day and coming to the mortal world at night. Since he doesn’t do evil and his strength is formidable, we didn’t pursue the matter further and allowed him to establish a foothold in Qianyang Mountain."

He paused for a moment, then added, "It’s not that we are afraid of him; it’s just unnecessary. He’s just another neighbor."

Chen Shi looked intently at the Lord of Wuwang City, and judging from the divine light surrounding him, he could not tell whether he was a Demon God or from the underworld. On the contrary, he seemed quite divine.

The Lord of Wuwang City nodded slightly and smiled, "Young friend Chen hasn’t visited Wuwang City for a while."

Chen Shi was about to answer when Uncle Green Sheep quietly tugged at his clothes. Chen Shi smiled and said, "I’ve been busy with numerous matters lately, but I’ll definitely visit when I have time."

The Lord of Wuwang City stared at him deeply, "Make sure you don’t go back on your word."

Chen Shi felt a chill in his heart, his tongue seemingly wriggling in his mouth.

At that moment, Granny Sha also arrived on the mountain, and he quickly greeted her.

Granny Sha wore a solemn expression and nodded at him.

Chen Shi curiously asked, "Uncle Hu didn’t come?"

"Little Liang doesn’t belong to Qianyang Mountain, and besides, he’s already dead. Being an Evil Spirit, we didn’t invite him."

Granny Sha looked around and noticed the Qianyang Mountain Lord and Huang Hu had also arrived at the mountaintop, along with a White Dragon, "The chiefs of Qianyang Mountain are almost all here."

Chen Shi said, "A new house has recently been built near my home where a boatman and his daughter are living. Should we call them too?"

"They don’t belong to Qianyang Mountain either, so there’s no need to summon them," Granny Sha shook her head.

Great Snake Xuan Shan looked around and declared, "We can begin now. Everyone, have you seen the little girl Nan from Chen Shi’s family? Within her lies an incredibly powerful Divine Demonic Power. Her blessings are immense. She paid her respects to me, and it nearly caused my divine semblance to collapse."

At this declaration, all were astounded.

Great Snake Xuan Shan walked the path of dual cultivation of demons and gods, both a Demon Cultivator and following the path of the divine. Among the spirits of Qianyang Mountain, he had the longest lifespan, stretching back to the end of the True King Era.

His cultivation was deep and unfathomable, his Divine Power robust, and in every aspect, he reached the pinnacle.

His blessings were profound and far-reaching.

For more than six thousand years, countless common people and the spirits of the mountain had knelt before Xuan Shan, entrusting their various hopes and prayers onto him.

This is a blessing.

The so-called blessing comes from the thoughts of all living beings; it is one’s own cultivation of goodness and virtue, to be remembered and revered by others. It is given by others and only then can it be called a blessing.

The blessing of Great Snake Xuan Shan could be said to be the deepest and most profound among all spirits in Qianyang Mountain; almost unable to withstand even a single bow from Nannan, one can imagine how terrifying Nannan’s blessing must be!

Granny Sha said, "Nannan didn’t bow to me, she just offered me a stick of incense. I couldn’t even bear her incense; I was nearly burst by the surge of extraordinary power. When I absorbed her incense, the chanting of billions of sentient beings echoed in my ears, and my divine form nearly could not withstand it, almost bursting apart."

Everyone was shocked.

Although Granny Sha’s cultivation was not as great as Great Snake Xuan Shan’s, her roots spanned the entirety of Qianyang Mountain, six thousand years of unbroken incense offerings rendered her cultivation extremely profound, yet she couldn’t withstand a single stick of incense!

Qianyang Mountain Lord said, "Her spiritual believers outnumber mine by far. Although I have received her bow and incense, I had no choice but to return it." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Everyone fell silent, turning their gaze toward Chen Shi.

Chen Shi recounted how he found Nannan in Rouge Lane of Yudou and brought her with him, saying, "The first time Nannan saw my Black Pot, she called it an Evil Spirit. Arguing with her for a long time, she still wouldn’t change her opinion, yet she played well with Black Pot."

Granny Sha was moved and asked, "Even the puppy couldn’t influence her perception?"

Chen Shi hesitated a moment, then nodded, saying, "There’s something strange; not only could Black Pot not influence her, but he was also very eager to please her, obedient in every way."

Lord of Wuwang City had been quiet until now and suddenly asked, "How old is Nannan?"

"Over four years old, not yet five."

Chen Shi said, "Her mother was a prostitute in Rouge Lane of Yudou; she died giving birth, and that’s how Nannan came to be."

"Over four years old, which means over four years ago."

Lord of Wuwang City’s expression subtly changed, as though he had thought of something, saying, "Over four years ago, Chen Yindou made a trip to the underworld."

Granny Sha’s heart stirred, saying, "Over four years ago, old Chen did indeed go there. It was his eighth trip to the underworld, but I didn’t join that time."

Lord of Wuwang City said, "On that occasion, he asked me for help to rescue Chen Shi’s soul."

Everyone was stunned, looking at him.

Chen Shi’s grandfather had ventured to the underworld many times in search of Chen Shi’s soul. At that time, they thought he had become obsessed; it was impossible to save Chen Shi. Originally many people helped him, but over time, fewer and fewer did.

It turned out that Chen Shi’s grandfather had also sought the help of Lord of Wuwang City, clearly in desperate straits!

Lord of Wuwang City said, "I was harassed by several of his brothers to the point of annoyance, so I agreed to lend a hand."

Green sheep nudged Chen Shi, quietly pointing to himself with a hint of pride.

"I have some power in the underworld, so sneaking into Hell, we found it in turmoil. We searched the All Gods Yuan Chen Palace, looking for a place where the souls were heavily guarded by the underworld gods, and once accidentally entered a Yuan Chen palace."

Lord of Wuwang City continued, "The palace was heavily guarded, with ghost gods standing watch. We used all means to force our way in, fighting our way inside. Looking up, we saw chains locking down that Yuan Chen Palace. Standing on each chain was a huge ghost god, brandishing weapons to keep guard. We attacked, but ultimately failed and had no choice but to flee. After that, I no longer owed Chen Yindou anything, and he stopped harassing me."

He paused, adding, "At that time, there was also a young man who went down to the underworld with us, called Xiao Wangsun."

Chen Shi’s heart stirred; it was Xiao Wangsun who had taken him to Wuwang City.

Lord of Wuwang City said, "When we fought our way to that Yuan Chen Palace, we saw a crescent moon hanging over the palace. It was this shape; we had never seen such a crescent form."

He drew a crescent moon, completely different from the moon crescent of West Bull New Continent.

The moon crescent of the West Bull New Continent is an eye, two circles intersecting, with an overlapping part in the middle.

But his crescent was two circles tangential, with no obscured part!

Chen Shi’s heart stirred; he had seen a similar crescent in the small temple and at the Mountain Lord Temple.

That was the crescent moon from the sky of the ancestral continent, precisely that kind of crescent shape!

"That crescent took the opportunity to flee amidst the chaos, throwing the guarding ghost gods into disarray and giving us a chance to escape."

Lord of Wuwang City said, "The name of that Yuan Chen Palace was Yama. The direction in which the crescent fled should be Yudou."

—Slept in, woke up late this morning, sorry for the late update!
