Chapter 1086 - 1085: Mountain God
The Mountain God has never openly shown his face in the Land of Immortals before; his exposure this time is entirely Jixing's doing."Oh dear, I say Jixing, you kid really know how to cause me trouble."
Besides Jixing, no one knew about the Mountain God's existence.
"I had no choice; if I didn't point out the main culprit, I would be sent back to the third world."
Jixing jumped out, transforming into a beam of light.
Jixing has never had a physical form; apart from anchoring himself to Tang Rao, he would just be a beam of light if he detaches.
"Did you think my life would be easier after you turned me in?"
The Mountain God had done things like this more than once in the Land of Immortals, but no one had ever caught him before. Today, he was caught by Tang Rao, a tough person to deal with, and the Mountain God had no idea what crazy actions Tang Rao might take.
"I really had no choice, Tang Rao is my master. As long as he hasn't gone to the third world, I have to listen to him in everything. I need to keep him happy; if he's happy, we're all better off. If not, and we're expelled from the Land of Immortals, I will expose you and other gods, making life difficult for you all, and none of them can stay in the Land of Immortals."
Jixing's words indeed scared the Mountain God a lot.
This little thing is even more mischievous than the previous little things who took on the tasks?
Just like Tang Rao, Jixing doesn't play by the rules at all.
If Jixing exposed all the other gods as he said, those hiding gods in the Land of Immortals would have no place to continue mingling.
"Lord Tang Rao, this time I just wanted to eat something, so I played a prank. Please forgive me and understand."
The Mountain God explained his reasons.
He originally thought, with such a huge commotion outside, Tang Rao would certainly be scared by the outsiders. Those people would go in and snatch Tang Rao's food, then the Mountain God would snatch the lower minions' food; everything would be perfect. But Tang Rao was unfazed by both threats and bribes.
He stubbornly chose to take out firearms to entertain the refugees outside instead of offering good food.
A man as daring as Tang Rao, it's no wonder he is surrounded by a harem and is a winner in life.
"Just because you wanted to eat, you sacrificed so many lives in our hands. Mountain God, by doing this, you make me question your intentions. Why did you do all this?"
Tang Rao's words were gentle, but that didn't mean he could forgive the Mountain God.
A perfectly fine feast was disrupted by the Mountain God. The Mountain God won't take responsibility, so who will?
"I know I was wrong too. At this point, I can only make the living people regain consciousness. The dead, well, I can't bring them back."
The Mountain God, like a child who had made a mistake, stood very obediently before Tang Rao.
"Fine, then hurry up and wake them all up. But before you wake them, you need to clean up all the corpses around my Kao Shan Sect. Since all this is your doing, you must take full responsibility."
The Mountain God dared not say anything; with Jixing backing Tang Rao, whatever Tang Rao and Jixing instructed, the Mountain God would comply.
The Mountain God blew a breeze, turning all the corpses into fertile soil, which enriched the entire Land of Immortals. Those under mind control returned to their original places and regained their full consciousness.
"Alright, now you should be able to forgive me, right?"
The Mountain God shamelessly said, seeing everything settled, Jixing jumped back into Tang Rao's body, merging with him.
Afterward, the power of speech returned to Tang Rao's hands.
"No way, what about the spiritual compensation?"
Tang Rao spread out his right palm. As a young man who had been frightened, it wasn't unreasonable for Tang Rao to demand some spiritual compensation from the Mountain God.
After all, he is the Mountain God, with control over all the heavenly treasures in the land. Tang Rao didn't believe the Mountain God didn't have any good items.
"What is spiritual compensation, anyway?"
Knowing it's not good, the Mountain God still pretended to ask.
"It's something to compensate for my mental distress. Like spiritual compensation, just give me some valuable stuff."
Tang Rao felt so tired; he couldn't understand why such a cool guy like him had to extort a half-buried old man.
"Oh, oh, why didn't you say so earlier."
The Mountain God rummaged for a while, pulling out a bottle.
"This is an Earth Spirit I've collected for countless years; you see if it's enough for you to forgive me."
This was indeed the most valuable thing on the Mountain God.
At least others said so, and the Mountain God believed it too.
To avoid further punishment from Tang Rao, the Mountain God made a painful decision to part with his most precious thing.
"Earth Spirit, Xiao Ji Ji, what's the use of this Earth Spirit?" The rıghtful source is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Tang Rao held the precious thing, unsure how to use it, which was quite awkward.
"It's good stuff, just hold on to it. I'll tell you about it when we get back."
Afraid the Mountain God would regret it, Xiao Ji Ji quickly said to the Mountain God, "Tang Rao said he has forgiven you. Let's leave it at this; aren't you leaving yet, waiting for a beating?"
The Mountain God rushed to escape, leaving even his walking stick behind.
"Just left like that? Xiao Ji Ji, are you sure that was the Mountain God earlier?"
Tang Rao, who had read Journey to the West, knew that the Mountain God possessed divine skills, yet this Mountain God seemed so timid.
"Tang Rao, I think I should explain the ranking in the higher realms to you before you head to the third world, lest you overestimate the Mountain God."
Meeting Tang Rao was indeed unlucky for Jixing; he was about to head to the third world and still knew nothing.
"The third world, also known as the Divine Realm, is divided into three major levels: Lower God, Middle God, and Upper God. Each major level has three minor realms. The competition in the Divine Realm is harsh, and the Land of Immortals is not comparable to it. It's as common as the endless sea, which is quite ordinary in the Divine Realm."
No wonder Jixing showed no reaction when seeing Tang Rao head to the endless sea—completely unconcerned for Tang Rao, as people from the Divine Realm were already accustomed to it. He wasn't worried himself and assumed Tang Rao wasn't either.
"The Mountain God is the lowest existence in the Divine Realm, a Low-Low God. Such a timid god isn't suited for survival in the Divine Realm; they're generally assigned down as Mountain Gods to guard the lands and mountains of the Land of Immortals. Now do you see why the Mountain God was so fearful of us?"
To be honest, without Jixing explaining these things to him, Tang Rao wouldn't have known.
Those around Tang Rao, as well, learned alongside him.
"I see, so Xiao Ji Ji, at what rank do you think I'll be when I go to the Divine Realm? Upper God? Middle God?"
Tang Rao now tried to test the waters with Jixing, to avoid losing his footing upon arrival.
"Huh? You wouldn't even secure the position of the Mountain God."
It's not that Jixing underestimated Tang Rao; the reality above was just that harsh.
"Impossible, can you repeat that while looking at me? You're saying I'm even less than the Mountain God? All the effort to get up there, just to be a Low-Low God?"
Tang Rao protested angrily. Such an awesome existence like him, only to become a Low-Low God?
Forget it, Tang Rao thought he better not go at all.
