Chapter 576 The Matter of Going Home

Several days prior.

Mount Longhu, Tianshi Mansion—

"You wish to borrow our strength?"

The Tiannv Ba, who was gradually beginning to recall some things, curiously looked at the young woman before her. In the room at Mount Longhu, the Jiutian Xuannv, one of the founding ancestors of the military strategists, also manifested, looking at the girl who had been so quiet in the past, but now had made such a decision.

They had originally intended to refuse.

Jiutian Xuannv frowned slightly, "No, I won't even mention what you intend to do with our authority."

"Just one thing, Jue, your current strength and foundation, even if we were willing to divide our power and give it to you, you wouldn't be able to withstand it… Jue, what do you have to persuade us?"

Jiutian Xuannv's voice faltered slightly.

The seemingly most delicate Tiannv Jue stretched out her hand, and upon her fair palm, the Kunlun Jade Book emerged.

The Kunlun Jade Book, of course, meant nothing; every Tiannv possessed one.

However, upon the Kunlun Jade Book, at this moment, were names branded one by one: the Mountain God of Mount Tai, the Mountain God of Mount Heng, the Mountain God of Mount Tian… golden titles existed here, and what moved Jiutian Xuannv and Tiannv Ba was that each of these names had directly signed a contract with Jue.

It wasn't suppressing them with the power of Kunlun, nor was it relying on the Jade Book to accomplish this.

Instead, she had personally visited them one by one, explained the advantages and disadvantages, even experienced being driven out, and then, with an equal stance, completed a contract witnessed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, where neither would betray the other. This process had begun when she first awakened, in order to find the whereabouts of the Queen Mother of the West.

An illusion of a white-haired old man appeared behind the girl, cupping his fist and saying, "This old one is Tai Shan."

A clear, cold female voice responded, "Heng Shan!"

"The Mountain God of Tian Shan greets you…"

"The Luo River flows, with nine bends echoing!"

"The Nine Bends of the Yellow River greets everyone."

Then came a sharp and precipitous voice:

"Hua Shan!"

"This humble one is the Mountain Lord of Song Shan, greetings to the two of you…"

Each branded name lit up, representing the vast Mountain Gods and River Gods of Shenzhou, standing as illusory figures behind the girl. Behind the girl holding the Jade Book, there were already many figures, their appearances diverse, their eyes bright, and each of them carried the contract that the girl had personally forged after visiting them.

Jiutian Xuannv suddenly stood up.

Tiannv Ba's hand paused slightly.

The Mountain God of Tai Shan spoke calmly, "Miss Jue is willing to sincerely help us, and now that she has a request, we should do our best."

For some reason, Jiutian Xuannv suddenly recalled thousands of years ago when the Queen Mother of the West was about to take them to the human world. She had refused, because the Water Stream was unwilling to go to a hot place. Ba had refused, she was looking for the whereabouts of Gengchen.

The younger sister representing Earth had also refused; she preferred to stay on Kunlun.

"Willing to replace the Lady and fulfill the duties of Kunlun."

That younger sister's eyes had a bright and eager light, willing to bear all things, and also hoping to obtain the authority of Kunlun. The Queen Mother of the West smiled and nodded, granting all three daughters' requests, and thus another Tiannv appeared to act on behalf of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Jiutian Xuannv, the founding ancestor of military strategists, appeared, and the Tiannv Ba wandered in the Great Wilderness.

Only Feng was willing to accompany the Queen Mother on her travels in the human world.

Therefore, the earth bears the mountains, but is far from the mountains; the water flows only along fixed paths, and flames do not arise spontaneously in the world. Only the wind, even in the farthest places, whether it be a lonely ice mountain as cold as ice, a harsh desert hill as fierce as flames, or a landscape of green hills and clear waters, with thousands of mountains and layers.

Only the wind will blow equally over everything.

All the predestined relationships were established from the beginning.

The wind had blown over the mountains and rivers for thousands of years.

Past karma waited slowly for thousands of years.

Until she knocked on the doors of these gods, until she reached out to them during the great calamity.

And so her hair at her temples fluttered slightly, the contract was two-way, and precisely because of the equal contract, the light of each contract converged, and naturally, water patterns appeared on her skirt, and overlapping mountains appeared on her sleeves, with verdant peaks bearing snow, shining brightly in the southeast.

And so the Queen Mother of the West stood here.

Only by bearing the extreme weight can one set foot on the highest.

Jiutian Xuannv was lost in thought.

Finally understanding what the Queen Mother of the West was asking them with a smile back then.

Immediately afterward, she suddenly felt a sense of regret for the younger sister who had actively sought the position of Queen Mother of the West.

It turned out that the Queen Mother of the West was not above all living beings, but was achieved by being surrounded by the Mountain and Water Gods.

The initial direction was wrong…

Tiannv Ba lowered her eyes. The young woman's power was certainly not as great as hers, but such a foundation had already been laid. She thought for a moment and said, "Since you already have the qualifications to bear the authority of both of us, then lending you our power is not a problem."

"So, what is your reason for wanting this power?"

Jue said, "To save someone in the Great Wilderness."

Tiannv Ba shook her head and said, "You have already spent thousands of years laying the foundation to become the next generation of Queen Mother of the West, and the strength of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Emperor far surpasses your current strength. There is a saying in the human world, 'A person of noble birth does not sit under a leaning wall.' As an un-grown Queen Mother of the West, going to the Great Wilderness is too dangerous."

"I want a reason."

Jue said, "As for the reason, he is one of Kunlun's most important allies at present."

"He can contact the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, and his relationship with Qingqiu Country is extremely close."

"His relationship with the human Longhu Mountain is similar, and he has sufficient relationships with both the Taoist and Buddhist sects."

"Saving him is equivalent to saving all of these alliances."

Tiannv Ba was silent, slowly nodding her head, sighing, "…That is reason enough."

"I seem to have no reason to refuse."

"Then…"

There was a hint of warm red in her eyes as she reached out and pressed down on Jue's hair. The power of fire and water fell into the girl's brow at the same time, gathered by the wind, and transformed into a mark. Her voice paused, and she said softly:

"Be careful on your way…"

"Queen Mother of the West."

……………………

And within the Great Wilderness.

Gathering the power of wind, fire, and water, undoubtedly manifesting the Queen Mother of the West, who possessed the authority of the Five厉 and Five 残 of Heaven, Emperor Jun's pair of ink-colored pupils reflected the young woman in front of him as he said, "Saving someone…" He tapped lightly on the jade flute with his finger, saying:

"Intruding into my Great Wilderness just to save someone."

Emperor Jun's tone was calm as he said, "Then, I need you to give me a reason."

"As the Lord of Kunlun, what is your reason for intruding into my Great Wilderness?"

"Otherwise, even if you are the second generation Queen Mother of the West, I may have to ask you to be a guest for a while. With the body of the new generation Queen Mother of the West, coming to my Great Wilderness is such a risk…"

"Is it bold and arrogant, or are you looking down on my Great Wilderness?"

The aura around the girl shifted, and the hair ornaments that the girl wore in the human world were removed.

Her black hair fell down, her brows raised, and red threads were entwined in her hair. The natural beauty of divine emptiness emerged. She raised her hand, and three different auras flowed, passing through the myriad forms of mountains and seas, faintly contending with the current Emperor Jun, not inferior in the slightest.

A clear, cold voice replied:

"He is the Mountain God of Kunlun."

"Since he is one of my Kunlun branches, then he should belong to Kunlun."

Emperor Jun deeply looked at the new generation Queen Mother of the West, who represented the myriad forms of mountains and seas. He could attack Kai Ming, but he could not attack this Queen Mother of the West, because the Queen Mother of the West was the Lord of Kunlun, at least in name still possessing such deterrence.

If he attacked her,

it would be equivalent to directly provoking Kunlun, and Lu Wu would certainly not let it go.

And if Lu Wu were to attack, even if Kai Ming would not stand on the Queen Mother of the West's side, he would still join forces with Lu Wu according to the general trend, Kunlun would still be unafraid, but if, at that time, Guixu also moved along with the trend… After all, Guixu was in the outer sea of the Age of Gods, and there might be that one there.

It was not yet the time.

Emperor Jun thought of the ten Sun-Shooting Arrows, slowly withdrawing his hand, and said:

"So that's how it is."

"You came for a subordinate, coercing with the general trend…"

"Queen Mother of the West, you have broken one of my moves, take him away."

"But, there will be no next time."

Emperor Jun clearly believed that the other party had relied on the general trend to make him withdraw his hand, which could be considered as having broken one of his moves. Although it was the intertwined general trend of the Three Realms and Eight Desolations that had broken his move, rather than the strength of the two people in front of him.

But being broken was being broken.

Emperor Jun spoke with a hint of admiration, saying:

"Moreover, to be able to take such a risk for a Mountain God and grasp the general trend."

"As the Lord of Kunlun, although risking your life is somewhat reckless, you are not bad."

"Only in this way can you convince the masses."

Emperor Jun shook his head, and then the myriad forms of heaven and earth began to flow and change again. Emperor Jun's figure had already disappeared, only the distant starry sky and the sound of the洞箫, faint and gradually fading away. Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, supported himself to stand up, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him, his stomach filled with countless doubts.

But the first words that came out of his mouth were still: "Jue, why did you come here?"

"This place is too dangerous!"

"Using the general trend to force Emperor Jun, is this A-Liang's plan?!"

Wei Yuan was faintly angered.

The girl in front of him shook her head and said, "I thought of it myself."

"I am the body of the Queen Mother of the West, and Lu Wu and Kai Ming are not here. Regardless of whether Kai Ming is a friend or foe, as long as the two of them are still far away, they can bring a certain amount of deterrence to Emperor Jun. He wouldn't dare to do anything to me, and I can bring you out."

Wei Yuan opened his mouth, suddenly realizing that the girl in front of him was the Queen Mother of the West who had traveled in the human world for a long time.

And had sought out various heroes to teach her.

Yes, the only one whose mind couldn't keep up was himself.

He couldn't blame anyone for this, after all, even Confucius couldn't teach him well.

The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

He still said:

"But, as the new generation Queen Mother of the West, it's too dangerous for you to come to the Great Wilderness rashly!"

This was the third time he had heard the same question.

Jue lost her previous calm and coldness, and said, "Don't I have the right to take risks?!"

"Am I just like a canary?"

"Ah… no, that's not what I meant."

Wei Yuan was stunned, and explained, "But, as the Lord of Kunlun, the next generation Queen Mother of the West."

"A person of noble birth does not sit under a leaning wall!"

"It's not that you can't take risks, but that the risks must have corresponding value."

"Only things that are extremely important to Kunlun are worth you taking risks for."

"You!"

The girl was faintly annoyed. This time, she didn't say any logical reasons, just snorted, then turned her head and said in a low, quick voice:

"But, the safety of the next generation of Kunlun Lord, the Queen Mother of the West's husband, is also a very important matter for Kunlun!"

"Huh? What did you say, Jue?"

Wei Yuan was puzzled.

"Ah?! Nothing!"

The girl raised her head, her face slightly red, and then still helped Wei Yuan, who had taken a blow from the number one Emperor Jun in the world, and said:

"Let's go, Wuzhiqi has already cleared the way home."

She said softly:

"Let's go home."

"Yeah."
