Great Xia's Dao Seekers (13)
The development process of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range in recent years.
Even Xiao'e, a firsthand witness, found it somewhat unbelievable, let alone someone like Deception Rabbit, who had been away for a long time and had returned.
However, although Deception Rabbit felt regretful about this, he did not regret his choice.
Back then, in order to relentlessly pursue Huoji, Deception Rabbit chased him all the way to Kunlun Guixu in the far west.
He witnessed the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor 'Heavenly Emperor daughter, Gouxing, and also saw the complicated relationship between her and the Huai Calamity Dragon Maiden.
After that, Deception Rabbit decisively abandoned the idea of continuing to hunt down Huoji and instead began his return journey back to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Who would have thought that not long after Deception Rabbit left the far west, the "Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven" incident would occur.
Although Deception Rabbit was spared from being hunted down by Wu Yi because of Li Boyang.
But on his return journey, he witnessed the tragic deaths of countless gods and the calamities caused by the upheaval of Yuan Qi.
It's important to know that the Deception Rabbit is a type of spirit that is relatively close to humans.
Before meeting Li Boyang, Deception Rabbit's greatest pleasure was traveling between various human kingdoms, outwitting and outmaneuvering all sorts of humans and gods.
Seeing these tragic scenes, it was impossible for Deception Rabbit to remain indifferent.
So, Deception Rabbit began to help those humans affected by the disaster, or the gods who had not died completely, along the way.
The former was alright; although the process was a bit troublesome, there wasn't much resistance.
On the contrary, the latter will inevitably clash with the Great Xia.
Especially those shamans from the Great Xia, they would not allow anyone to rescue those gods right under their noses.
As expected, Deception Rabbit went through countless battles on its return journey.
Unbeknownst to many, a legend about a "Ominous Deity heading south and a continuous enemy of the Great Xia shamans" also spread within the Great Xia territory and its surrounding states.
In its normal state Deception Rabbit already possesses the ability to fight opponents of higher levels.
When he transforms into a ferocious Black Dragon, unless a great shaman of the level of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain intervenes, there is no way to stop him.
However, there are always exceptions, especially in battles where life and death hang in the balance.
Two years ago, when the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain were overwhelmed and preoccupied with cleaning up Wu Yi's mess, they were all too busy to help.
While rescuing a dying goddess, Deception Rabbit happened to encounter Wu Zhen, the most eccentric of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain.
She was a witch, and also a great witch who was most passionate about knowledge.
Out of curiosity about the Myriad Transformations abilities of the Deception Rabbit, Wu Zhen wanted to capture it.
That was the most memorable battle for Deception Rabbit.
The witch named "Wu Zhen" possessed such bizarre Witch Law and unconventional fighting style that it completely shattered his worldview.
Most importantly, the methods used by Wu Zhen were not limited to traditional Witch Law.
Combat, medicine and poison, puppetry, sorcery, Gu worms, curses, life-swapping...
Faced with those endless tricks, even though Deception Rabbit possessed the ability to Myriad Transformations, he could only watch helplessly as he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Later in the battle, Deception Rabbit even saw traces of Method of the Celestial Person on his opponent.
It wasn't that he practiced Li Boyang's Method of the Celestial Person, but rather that he adapted the Method of the Celestial Person as described by Li Boyang to his own use.
Because that Wu Zhen a seeker and pioneer of the Dao, just like Li Boyang.
She drew upon the myriad things of heaven and earth, and all supernatural Divine Ability to perfect her own path, making her a truly qualified person to establish a school of thought, attain enlightenment, and become an ancestor.
Realizing this, Deception Rabbit did not hesitate for a moment, then turned and fled with the dying goddess.
No one knew better than Deception Rabbit how difficult it was to deal with a "pioneer" like Li Boyang.
It's no exaggeration to say that Deception Rabbit felt that a significant part of the reason he was able to fight that Wu Zhen for several days and nights was because the other party didn't have any murderous intent.
"So, you finally managed to escape?"
Unbeknownst to them, Xiluo quietly appeared behind Deception Rabbit, asking with a curious expression.
"Grandmother Mountain God!?"
"Don't scare me! You know I've always been very timid!"
Startled Deception Rabbit instinctively turned around, a look of fear still on its face.
"It seems that Wu Zhen left you with a lot of psychological trauma?"
With a hint of teasing, Xiluo stood up, transformed into human form, and slowly sat down on a stone bench next to her.
Since it was the first time he had seen Xiluo in human form, Deception Rabbit was clearly stunned for a moment.
Whether it was the crimson feathered robe with ribbons or the alluring effect that Xiluo possessed at this moment, it far exceeded Deception Rabbit's expectations.
If I hadn't witnessed Xiluo's transformation from Wenli into a woman with my own eyes...
Deception Rabbit had some doubts about whether he had completely shaken off the entanglement of that Wu Zhen.
"That must be the most cunning human I've ever met..."
"You haven't had any contact with her, so you have no idea just how difficult she is."
As Deception Rabbit spoke, he once again fell into his memories.
After countless attempts to hide and Deception Rabbit lost count of how many forms he had transformed before finally managing to escape the entanglement of Wu Zhen.
Subsequently, the goddess who had been rescued by the Deception Rabbit also woke up.
The goddess's name was "Xuansu Shi," and she was a deity from the Great Xia.
According to Xuansu Shi herself, the reason she ended up in the Yuan Qi region outside of Great Xia was simply out of curiosity.
The Xuansu Shi was not well-known in the various kingdoms of Great Xia.
Only a few small states on the outermost periphery have beliefs and veneration for her.
After Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven, she was curious and wanted to explore the essence of this change, and then she was attacked by Wu Yi's distracted mind.
In desperation, and in order to escape Wu Yi's pursuit, Xuansu Shi fled to the outside world in a panic.
Unfortunately, at this time she encountered Wu Zhen, one of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain.
To be honest, if it weren't for the lucky rescue by the Deception Rabbit, Xuansu Shi would probably have died on the spot.
After that, Xuansu Shi and Deception Rabbit spent their days together, secretly heading towards the Hundred Lands Mountain Range while evading Wu Zhen's pursuit.
"One male and one female? Living together day and night?"
Having keenly grasped the key point, Xiluo made no attempt to hide her gossipy nature.
"Cough cough..."
She coughed awkwardly twice, and for the first time Deception Rabbit showed a shy expression.
"In short, the process is not important; what matters is the result."
"I Mind Aspect Xuansu Shi, and we have even conceived a child."
"The reason I delayed my return to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range for so long was due to Xuansu Shi's health condition."
"Since becoming pregnant, her health has deteriorated, and she simply cannot withstand the hardships of long-distance travel."
At this point, Deception Rabbit's shyness quickly turned into anxiety.
"Xuansu Shi is about to give birth, and for her and the child's safety, I have no choice but to rush back to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range alone."
"Prophet, Grandmother Mountain God, I have returned to seek your help!"
