Azure Ox Mountain (3/3)
Glug glug ·
Only after Lu Huaijin left with Xiao Xi did a few bubbles suddenly appear on the reservoir not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a giant Human-Faced Fish slowly emerged from the water, revealing a gentle female face on its back.
"A prophecy?"
Chi Ning stared at Lu Huaijin and Xiao Xi's departing figures, a hint of worry unconsciously showing on her face.
This wasn't the first time Akane had secretly protected Xiao Xi.
Although Li Boyang never said that he would protect his family.
However, out of his affection for him, Akari kept a close eye on everyone connected to him.
Especially after Xiao Xi awakened [the Knowledge of Past Lives].
Chi has secretly driven away many gods who coveted her abilities and talents.
Therefore, Chibi was more aware than anyone else of the power and terror of [Knowledge of Past Lives].
Since the other party mentioned the scene of the sky turning completely black, this scene will inevitably happen in the future.
Xiao Xi, whose mind is not yet mature, only focused on the scene of Yinglong being injured.
But the news that the sky would completely turn black is the most informative part of this prophecy.
What kind of conditions could cause the sky to turn completely black?
The last time a similar phenomenon occurred in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range was during the "Heavenly Dog Devours the Sun" caused by the birth of the Heaven-Eroding Lord.
Could it be related to the Heaven-Eroding Lord?
His gaze unconsciously drifted into the depths of Yunmeng Marsh.
Chi believed that he was definitely not the only one who thought this way; Lu Huaijin must have realized it as well.
"Let's discuss it with Li Jingshu first!"
He muttered something under his breath, then silently dived back into the water and swam away with the current towards the outside of the reservoir.
This reservoir, unlike Yunmeng Marsh, is not as well-connected, allowing access to any corner of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
However, as the place where the Human-Faced Fish return and reproduce, this waterway also connects to many key and vital places.
For example, the pool at the foot of Flying Peak.
Of course, Chi wasn't going to Flying Peak this time.
She was now heading to the burial site of Guhuo Bird Yin Fei, the "Azure Ox Mountain" that had been uprooted by the One-Horned Incantation.
This mountain is located near the Mountain Hollow Village and is famous for the archway of the One-Horned Incantation.
At the foot of this mountain, a shrine was even built specifically to enshrine the One-Horned Incantation.
On ordinary days, villagers from the Mountain Hollow Village and passing Mountain Folk would go up to worship and seek the protection of this god who could overturn mountain peaks.

Chi swam and moved freely in the water, her body gradually shrinking in the process.
By the time Chi crossed the Mountain Hollow Village and arrived near the Single Horn Peak, she had already shrunk to the size of a normal Human-Faced Fish.
"Call!"
"It's been so long since I've been ashore, I'm almost not used to it anymore."
Step by step, Akane emerged from the water, transforming into the image of a goddess emerging from a bath.
The Qi of Yin and Yang quickly gathered around him, soon transforming into a complete set of magnificent clothing.
On this magnificent outfit, one can see black and white yin-yang fish swimming around, without a single drop of river water touching them.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Chi became a god in a relatively short time.
However, due to Li Boyang's favoritism, her expertise in [Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation] even surpassed that of Heaven-Eroding Lord.
Every now and then, Chi would go up Flying Peak to have Li Boyang give him special lessons; this was one of his daily routines.
Even if the Chiru itself doesn't care about that knowledge,
She simply enjoyed the time she spent with Li Boyang.
However, it cannot be denied that if Akane were willing, she could completely abandon her body and transform into a true Heavenly Deity. However, Akane obviously would not make such a foolish choice.
Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation, and then Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.
Currently, the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit are all progressing simultaneously, with Suspended Hanging Silk Lady pursuing the Dao with the most steadfast heart.
Given time, if any cultivation path is perfected, Chi will have the opportunity to reach the supreme realm of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness. How could he possibly choose to walk the path of no return that leads to becoming Heavenly Deity?
Upon arriving at Chishang Mountain, the first thing you see is that extremely conspicuous tombstone.
Beside the tombstone, Li Jingshu, who had been guarding it for almost half a month, was scratching her head in frustration, accompanied by the Human-Faced Spider Xiao Gui and the Bronze Treasure Book.
"Oh? What brings you here?"
Noticing Chi's arrival immediately, Xiao Gui landed on Li Jingshu's head in surprise.
Xiao Gui didn't know much about Chi, the only god of the reservoir.
This is not simply because the other party is cold-hearted, elusive, and rarely reveals their true identity to anyone other than Li Boyang.
Furthermore, Chi rarely appears unless there's a major event at hand; her presence almost always signifies something significant.
"Red?"
"Has something happened in the village?"
Just half a beat slower than Xiao Gui, Li Jingshu also noticed Chi's figure.
Compared to Xiao Gui, Li Jingshu was much more familiar with Chi.
After all, as a top student who also received private lessons from Li Boyang, Li Jingshu was often compared to her.
Although Li Jingshu was very Qi Ingestion with this, believing that she was fully capable of easily defeating Chi.
However, Li Boyang never judged the quality of learning based on combat strength.
"It's Li Xi; she's seen another dangerous future."
Over the past five years, Xiao Xi has foreseen extremely dangerous futures more than once.
Most of the time, Li Jingshu handled these dangers herself.
As a result, she also nipped many potential disasters in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range in the bud.
"But you've been here for almost half a month, and still haven't seen that Flower Mantis?"
Since the death of Night-Wandering Woman Yin Fei, the Flower Mantis has become her gravedigger.
They usually stay by the tomb, only occasionally going down the mountain to find food.
It seems unprecedented for someone to remain unseen for almost half a month.
"I'm having a headache over this too!"
"That guy is an undeniably dangerous individual."
"When I received news that he was fighting someone for unknown reasons, I rushed here to keep watch."
"That guy still hasn't come back today. I wonder if he's died somewhere?"
Seeing Li Jingshu's troubled expression, Chi frowned slightly, a vague sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"That Flower Mantis may not be a god, but its fighting power is not to be underestimated."
"Among these Hundred Lands Mountain Range, who else can rival him? Is it some deity?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu decisively shook her head.
"I asked, and they are not gods, at least not the gods of our Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger, and Chi almost instinctively made associations.
"Could the disappearance of the Flower Mantis be related to Li Xi's prophecy?"
