Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 587 - 557: Million-Level Steps

Chapter 587: Chapter 557: Million-Level Steps

Wenchang Star Lord did not understand this and no longer had time to think about it, because after Rabbit had run a distance, he began screaming again, "Wenqu Star Lord, save me!

Wenchang Star Lord has gone mad!

He’s not following the rules!

If I die, I will complain to the Queen Mother!

I will complain to the Queen Mother of the West!"

Upon hearing this, Wenchang Star Lord felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and he cursed internally, "Wenqu Star Lord, damn it, you never told me this Rabbit was tied to the Queen Mother’s karma?!

It’s bad enough with the Queen Mother, but why is there karma from the Queen Mother of the West too?

The Queen Mother is somewhat reasonable, but the Queen Mother of the West is not!"

In an instant, Wenchang Star Lord became desperate and shouted, "Shut up!"

Yi Zheng saw Wenchang Star Lord’s face turn pitch black, emitting a killing intent, and frightened, turned to run at full speed again.

The Cultivation Technique evolved various skills for increasing speed, with Divine Rings and divine lights illuminating his body, Rabbit pulled a streak of afterimage, wildly sprinting across the ground!

Seeing this scene, both Wenqu Star Lord and Wenchang Star Lord were shocked; they had followed the establishment of Jade Emperor’s Heavenly Court and settled in Book Mountain.

This period had not been short, spanning a thousand and hundreds of Yuanhui.

In these long years, they had seen countless prodigies and geniuses, many of whom had completed the million-step staircase.

They themselves had walked the Path of Diligence numerous times, feeling the charm of literature from Ancient Strange Mountain, deliberating the mysteries of this number one literary Acquired Holy Artifact in the world.

Yet, even they, having climbed the mountain countless times, could not understand why Rabbit, on his first attempt on the Path of Diligence, could run so fast.

"How did this Rabbit... achieve this?"

It was not just the two Star Lords; almost everyone had the same thought in their minds.

With Wenchang Star Lord chasing him, Yi Zheng was truly running for his life now.

Nine hundred thousand steps!

Nine hundred and fifty thousand steps!

Nine hundred and ninety thousand steps!

The last five hundred steps!

The last three hundred steps!

The last one hundred steps!

Rabbit’s speed slightly slowed...

"Rabbit, meet your end!" Wenchang Star Lord caught up.

Rabbit accelerated, accelerated, and accelerated again!

One million steps!

The moment Yi Zheng stepped up, everyone was stunned.

Book Mountain, the Path of Diligence, how many years had it been since anyone had climbed it?

Now, someone had done it!

What a monumental event!

Just as people were about to celebrate, Rabbit’s scream, like a pig being slaughtered, echoed through the sky!

After finishing the Path of Diligence, Yi Zheng felt all restraints left him, spiritual energy surged within him, and his voice boomed several times louder with a single shout.

This shout alone resonated throughout the mountains.

"Save me!"

"Killing the Rabbit!"

"Wenqu Star Lord, save me!"

"Star Lord Taibai, save me!"

"Queen Mother, save me!"

"Queen Mother of the West, save me!"

...

People watched as the rabbit ran off screaming like a slaughtered pig, and indeed, after reaching the summit, it didn’t stop but ran even faster...

Wenchang Star Lord floated mid-air, grinning and glancing back in the direction of Wenqu Star Lord, implying, "Should we still chase?"

Wenqu Star Lord shook his head, then dropped from the sky, "Yi Zheng, stop shouting! I’ve come back."

Yi Zheng was running but on seeing Wenqu Star Lord descending from heaven, he burst into tears of relief, thinking, "I’m finally not going to die!"

Once he calmed down, the sly fox quickly realized something was amiss. He clicked his tongue, replaying the events in his head, and found something odd!

Wenqu Star Lord was conveniently absent when he was being chased, and as soon as he climbed the million steps, Wenqu Star Lord immediately returned...

And how powerful was Wenchang Star Lord?

While he might not be one of the four calamities, dealing with him, a mere Little Rabbit, wasn’t more than a thought’s work, right?

If they truly wanted to kill or capture him, he couldn’t have escaped at all.

Thinking this, he glanced at the amusement in Wenqu Star Lord’s eyes and Wenchang Star Lord’s peculiar expression and immediately understood, "Damn, they’ve been playing me!"

With this thought, the rabbit’s eyes shifted and he suddenly burst into tears, then threw himself onto Wenqu Star Lord’s legs, sniveling and smearing his tears all over him while sobbing, "Master, you’ve finally returned... If you hadn’t, Wenchang Star Lord that old geezer would have roasted me.

You would have lost the greatest literary disciple in history..."

Wenqu Star Lord coughed dryly, "Alright, alright, Wenchang Star Lord won’t kill you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wenqu Star Lord noticed the rabbit, whose head was spinning like a top on his legs, carefully looked, and realized, astounded, that the rabbit had managed to smear a landscape painting on his fine clothes using his huge tears and snot.

Wenqu Star Lord’s face darkened as he grabbed the rabbit by the ears and hoisted him up, "I said he won’t."

"Won’t? How could he not? Didn’t you see his terrifying face just now!"

The rabbit grimaced, mimicking Wenchang Star Lord’s expression fiercely, "He looked just like this, so fierce!"

Wenqu Star Lord said, "Alright, alright, he won’t kill you without any reason."

The rabbit retorted, "What do you mean, no reason? Of course, there is a reason!

He’s just jealous of my handsome appearance and my unparalleled talent!

He just can’t stand seeing our Wenqu Palace being awesome.

Wenqu Star Lord, I’m going to follow you from now on. You can’t show any weakness!

If this were in the Confucian Sect and my disciple was being bullied, I would undoubtedly grab something and beat the crap out of him until he pooped, and then make him eat it back.

Otherwise, I might as well go home and eat poop."

The faces of Wenqu Star Lord and Wenchang Star Lord turned utterly dark.

At that moment, even though Wenchang Star Lord had made a splash because Wenqu Star Lord had taken a disciple who climbed the million steps, winning the examination,

however, Wenchang Star Lord, watching the rabbit’s behavior, was actually feeling quite good.

Wenchang Star Lord coughed dryly, "Wenqu Star Lord, congratulations on getting a good student. It’s just a shame that my Wenchang Palace isn’t so lucky to have such a fine disciple, I’m envious..."

Wenqu Star Lord smiled, "Don’t be envious, you’ll encounter over a million such disciples later."

Wenqu Star Lord looked toward those on the mountain path who were still cursing—the rabbits, chickens, snakes, and whatnot—and Wenchang Star Lord’s mood soured again.

Wenqu Star Lord, without further ado, bid farewell to Wenchang Star Lord, grabbing the rabbit and shot into the sky, quickly arriving in front of a grand hall.

Yi Zheng, looking at the majestic, ancient, and impressive hall built like a collection of bamboo slips, turtle shells, and books, curiously asked, "When are we going to start classes at the Confucian Sect?"

Wenqu Star Lord explained, "I just made a bet with Wenchang Star Lord. By taking you into my Wenqu Palace, he lost. The bet was that he’ll take over teaching those disciples of mine."

Yi Zheng was startled. However, thinking it over, Wenchang Star Lord and Wenqu Star Lord were both top-tier scholars, neither inferior to the other.

All Yi Zheng wanted was a good teacher for the Confucian disciples, someone who would teach them rules, reform them, and turn them into good people, subsequently transforming the Confucian Sect into a reputable faction, growing stronger step by step.

So, it didn’t really matter to him which one of them would do it.

But...

Yi Zheng said, "This...making decisions on your own without informing me, that’s not right, is it?"
