Myriad Books Mountain: Yo, hello, everyone!

Fairy Lychee said, "Given the grudges between Confucian School and the Netherworld, Confucian School cultivators must have been researching the weaknesses of the Nine Nether Demons and maximizing the value of their bodies to create magical artifacts. If we're talking about the utilization rate of the 'Nine Nether Demons' bodies, Confucian School disciples are undoubtedly the best."

Venerable White nodded. Perhaps the magical artifacts the Confucian School disciples wanted to create would require a large number of the bodies of the Nine Nether Demons.

Myriad Books Mountain

The Jacob's Film Crew is ready, and the cameras are in place.

The next scene to be filmed is: [After the Skycloud Sect was wiped out, the sect's guardian beast, the 'Heaven-Swallowing Cat,' led some surviving disciples to finally find Ling Ye.]

Currently, most of the scenes written by Gao Moumou have been filmed.

The story begins with [Senior Brother Gao Sheng brutally defeating Ling Ye -- Murong Hua marrying Feng Chuanzi -- Ling Ye severely injured and missing the wedding -- Ling Ye heartbroken, leaving the Skycloud Sect to fight on the front lines of the war between cultivators and the Evil Realm -- After several bloody battles, Ling Ye finds a place with abundant spiritual energy to rest and encounters the female ghost Ling'er -- Ling Ye learns that Ling'er is a ghost -- The Skycloud Sect is wiped out -- Ling Ye rushes back to the Skycloud Sect, devastated.]

The above scenes have all been filmed.

The following plot involves Ling Ye drowning his sorrows in alcohol, wandering the city, and encountering important characters such as a Veteran Driver "Fairy Eastern Six."

However, this part of the story will be filmed in a modern city. At that time, the characters of Song Shuhang's close friends Gao Moumou, Tubo, and Yangde, as well as the characters of the other seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', will also make their appearances.

However, before returning to the modern city, we need to skip this part of the story and film the scene where [the guardian beast of the Skycloud Sect, the 'Heaven-Swallowing Cat,' finally finds Ling Ye].

This plot point marks the turning point where the protagonist, Ling Ye, regains his strength and vows to annihilate the Evil Realm.

As soon as Venerable White and Fairy Lychee returned, they were immediately taken to the dressing room.

The seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' were all secretly exchanging information, presumably discussing the 'Battle between the White Cloud Academy and the Nine Nether Demons'.

Song Shuhang originally intended to go to his seniors' place to listen to their discussions. However, on the way, he saw his roommates Tubo and Yangde.

So Shuhang changed his mind. After confirming that the effect of the 'Transformation Brooch' on his body was still working, he went to his roommate's side.

Gao Moumou has been following the film crew around these past few days, running around learning – judging from his appearance, he seems genuinely interested in learning how to make movies. His girlfriend has been accompanying him throughout the entire film set.

Meanwhile, Tubo and Yangde were chatting idly with the Foreign Monk. Or rather, the Foreign Monk was preaching to Tubo and Yangde.

As Song Shuhang approached, he overheard the Foreign Monk explaining the beauty of the ordination scars on the head to Tubo the other man, and also elaborating on various Buddhism scriptures in a rambling and eloquent manner.

In the past, Song Shuhang would have found it normal to see Foreign Monk preaching—but ever since he heard that the Foreign Monk were actually Daoist Religion disciples, he now feels a dull ache in his liver whenever he sees them explaining Buddhist Sect scriptures and praising the benefits of the Buddhist Sect.

At this moment, the Foreign Monk put his palms together and said to Tubo and Yangde, "So, my two benefactors, do you have any thoughts about converting to the Buddhist Sect and receiving the blessings of the Three Jewels?"

"Hahahaha." Tubo laughed and waved his hand, saying, "No, Master. Although what you said is very interesting, I still need to have children. So, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, benefactor. You can convert to the Buddhist Sect after you give birth." The Foreign Monk give up, and then he turned to look at Yangde with longing.

"I refuse," Yangde said calmly. "I believe in science. The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical strength, disorder, or spirits."

Seeing Yangde's state, Song Shuhang was reminded of himself not long ago. Back then, he was the same, firmly believing in science and the worldview shaped by Nine-Year Compulsory Education. Until one day, his worldview suddenly shattered overnight...

That said, Nine-Year Compulsory Education doesn't even teach Cocoon Formation, what a terrible thing!

As Yangde was pondering this, he turned around and saw Song Shuhang: "Shuhang, you're finally back!"

"Haha." Song Shuhang laughed, "I just went shopping with some friends. How have you guys been these past few days?"

"It's quite interesting filming with them... Also, tomorrow, after we get to the city scene, Yangde and my characters will be appearing." Tubo laughed, then whispered, "This is much better than staying at Yu Jiaojiao's house. At her house, I felt like I was constantly going from drunk to sober, and then back to drunk again. It was great drinking, but I was always worried I'd drink myself to death at her house."

Song Shuhang chuckled dryly again— Yu Jiaojiao really went to great lengths to get Gao Moumou to write more articles back then.

At this moment, the Foreign Monk turned around, saw Song Shuhang, and immediately stood up, respectfully putting his hands together in a gesture of respect. "Senior Song."

After all, Song Shuhang was his savior.

Song Shuhang waved at him—when the Foreign Monk called him 'Senior Song,' Tubo and Yangde looked at him strangely.

"By the way, Senior Song, I received a few more orders for 'exorcising ghosts' today. Are you interested? Would you like to come with me to exorcise ghosts in a few days?" the Foreign Monk said in a serious tone.

He remembered that this senior monk had specifically learned the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture from him and seemed very interested in helping the souls of the dead find peace. So, the Foreign Monk decided to cater to his interests.

Tubo and Yangde's gazes toward Song Shuhang suddenly became even stranger.

Song Shuhang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Hahaha, thank you, we'll talk about it later."

Upon hearing this, the Foreign Monk revealed a simple and honest smile. He put his palms together and said, "Then, Senior Song, this humble monk will go and perform first. I have a minor role to play next."

Having said that, the Foreign Monk ran off in a cheerful mood.

"Shuhang, when did you learn how to exorcise ghosts?" Yangde asked with a wicked grin.

Song Shuhang chuckled and asked, "Are you interested in learning?"

"I think I'll pass. I have no interest in becoming a monk," Tubo laughed.

"You don't need to become a monk; you just need to learn spells like exorcising ghosts and performing rituals to help others find peace," Song Shuhang.

Tubo said in a high-pitched voice, "Thank you for your kindness, but Uncle, we're not going."

"Go to hell." Song Shuhang grinned.

Tubo chuckled and asked, "By the way Shuhang... I've had a question for you before. What place is this? The scenery is amazing. Yangde even said that he could bring his girlfriend here to visit sometime."

"She's not my girlfriend yet, we've only just started getting to know each other!" Yangde quickly explained.

Tubo laughed heartily, "It's all the same, that's the gist of it. What's the name of this place, and where is it located?"

"This is Myriad Books Mountain," Song Shuhang replied. "It's not easy to get here to play. Without Venerable White leading the way, White Cloud Academy wouldn't let anyone in."

"Myriad Books Mountain? I've never heard of that name. And this place is strange; even map navigation can't pinpoint its location." Yangde took out his phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and said.

"Actually, this is my first time here too. Maybe it's because it's a very remote mountain forest with no signal? I probably don't know much more about this place than you do," Song Shuhang said with a smile. "However, if you'd like to come here again next time, I can have someone bring you."

This is the Confucian School 'White Cloud Academy,' a place where Confucian Sect scholars cultivate themselves.

If Tubo and Yangde are interested in this place, perhaps a great opportunity will arise in the future?

However, let's wait until [White Cloud Academy] overcomes the invasion crisis of the Netherworld Fiend before making any further decisions.

"Okay," Tubo said with a smile.

Filming is still ongoing.

Song Shuhang chatted casually with his two friends, while Su Clan’s Sixteen sat beside him, entering a meditative state.

During the conversation, Song Shuhang's gaze was fixed on the distant mountain.

[The Upside-Down Myriad Books Mountain, the Sage Silence Pool...]

Myriad Books Mountain is right in front of us, but where is the Sage Silence Pool? I haven't seen any special pools around here.

Could it be that the 'Sage Silence Pool' is located within Myriad Books Mountain?

Or perhaps, we must wait until this 'Myriad Books Mountain' is turned upside down before we can see the Sage Silence Pool?

The question is, how can this Myriad Books Mountain be turned upside down? Only a powerful being who has cultivated to the level of 'moving mountains and overturning seas' could do that.

'Myriad Books Mountain' isn't very high, probably around 600 or 700 meters in height. At this moment, Song Shuhang and the others are filming their scenes at the foot of the mountain. There will be a few scenes to film later, which will require them to go up the mountain.

Moreover, even if one had the power to overturn mountains and seas, it would be impractical to turn Myriad Books Mountain upside down—because this is the territory of the Confucian School White Cloud Academy. If you were a guest in someone else's home and turned it upside down, you would be an unwelcome guest. In that case, after the Confucian School cultivators finished their battle with the demons of the Netherworld, they would have to confront you head-on.

"The Upside-Down Myriad Books Mountain, the Sage Silence Pool," Song Shuhang murmured softly.

"What are you talking about?" Tubo asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, just something I mentioned casually," Song Shuhang said with a light laugh.

But as soon as Song Shuhang finished speaking, Yangde, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Holy crap, what's going on?"

Rumble rumble rumble~

Before everyone's eyes, the towering 'Myriad Books Mountain' trembled.

"An earthquake?" Tubo exclaimed.

Song Shuhang raised an eyebrow—it wasn't an earthquake, but Myriad Books Mountain that was shaking.

At this moment, the Butterfly Demon Jiugu from Spirit Butterfly Island flapped her wings repeatedly, issuing commands.

Then, all the Illusion Butterfly sprang into action, activating illusions on ordinary people. Tubo and Yangde, who were next to Song Shuhang, fell to the ground and fell asleep one by one, as did the members of Jacob's Film Crew.

Only the fellow Daoists from the "Nine Provinces Number One Group," the subordinates of Venerable Spirit Butterfly, and the Foreign Monk.

Subsequently, Venerable Spirit Butterfly quickly gathered and protected all the ordinary people.

The tremors at Myriad Books Mountain did not cease.

About ten breaths later... the 'Myriad Books Mountain' stood upright. Two enormous legs grew from its base.

"Hey everyone~~ Hello everyone!" A thunderous voice echoed from Myriad Books Mountain.
