Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 590 - 560 Two Paths

Chapter 590: Chapter 560 Two Paths

Sun Jinyan was not foolish; a rabbit that got Wenqu Star Lord himself to change the rules and sent up was definitely not an ordinary one.

Moreover, he really liked this guy who could talk rubbish so convincingly and flatter straight to the heavens.

After all, those who were willing to work in the Scripture Pavilion as servants were mostly from the Wenqu Palace, and people from the Wenchang Palace hardly ever came over.

Because the work at the Scripture Pavilion was just too boring, dealing with books every day. Those who could bear to stay here were generally not the ones aiming for the Wenchang Palace; they must have been aiming for the Wenqu Palace.

And these people were almost all obsessed with books, seizing every moment to read, which was truly a bit dull.

Sun Jinyan was just too bored, so when such a sweet-talking rabbit suddenly appeared, he was naturally very pleased.

What’s more, this rabbit had a significant background. Not to mention its size, the mere face of Wenqu Star Lord was good enough for him to earn, after all, it was just taking care of a little rabbit.

Is it hard to take care of a little rabbit?

How much effort would it cost him?

As for the rabbit in front of him, the thoughts in its mind were even simpler: appease the manager, get more benefits, and strive to enhance its strength with no troubles afterward.

Thus, a big one and a small one, each with their own crafty thoughts, came together with cheerful smiles.

Sun Jinyan said, "Little Rabbit, since your literary aura is insufficient, from now on you can help sweep the courtyard. I’ll arrange for someone else to come here."

Yi Zheng immediately expressed his thanks.

Leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Sun Jinyan sat back down in the rocking chair and began to sway and bask in the sun.

Yi Zheng wandered around the courtyard, and it seemed that there was an array inside the Scripture House, which kept the dust from the outside from coming in, leaving nothing to clean.

So, Yi Zheng also found a rocking chair and placed it next to Sun Jinyan, plopped down on it, and started to sway following Sun Jinyan’s rhythm.

Sun Jinyan looked at this chubby rabbit, taking it easy, and couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Little Rabbit, you’re not going to read a single book, are you? Without a sufficient literary aura, it’s impossible to upgrade. Or do you plan to be a servant here for a lifetime?"

Yi Zheng shook his head, acting wise, and said, "I wouldn’t be a servant for a lifetime. I’m cultivating here."

"Cultivating?" Sun Jinyan was astonished.

Yi Zheng closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

His so-called cultivation was comprehending the Swallowing Rune inside his body.

He had previously run up a million-level staircase, and the rune had been repaired to about sixty percent from its fragmented state!

Yi Zheng drew strands of the Power of Dao from within his Dao Power Golden Elixir and injected them into the rune, which resembled a wide open mouth and acted like a seed, beginning to grow slowly and perfect itself.

As time ticked by, another Swallowing Rune beside it vibrated wildly, seeming incredibly excited.

Yi Zheng couldn’t help but curse, "Damn thing, can’t you be a bit more mature, a bit steadier?"

The rune, as if it understood, actually calmed down significantly.

Yi Zheng infused more Power of Dao, and the rune became more and more complete, eighty percent, ninety percent, one hundred percent!

Hum!

The humming sound of Dao reverberated through Yi Zheng’s Sea of Consciousness, and he felt as if his soul was transcending at that moment, experiencing a level of comfort like never before.

At the same time, the other excited Swallowing Rune rushed towards the newly completed one, and the two runes collided like meteors in his Sea of Consciousness.

With a loud bang!

The two runes exploded, and from the blast, characters were formed, which then began to arrange themselves in Yi Zheng’s Sea of Consciousness...

Yi Zheng was stunned. It turned out to be a passage explaining the Swallowing Dao!

To be precise, it was explaining the text of the Swallowing Rune that Yi Zheng had first collected!

"Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the Dao Divine Ability, Whale Swallowing! Click to view details."

Yi Zheng hurriedly clicked to view the details.

Skill Name: "Whale Swallowing"

Skill Type: Divine Ability

Skill Level: Tier 8

Skill Grade: Divine Level, nine stars [Highest Star Level]

Skill Introduction:

Swallow: All over the body, one can absorb any attacking energy, including Divine Skills, Five Elements energy, vibration energy produced by weapon strikes, etc. After absorbing, one can 100% convert it into one’s own energy. Note that the maximum absorption is five times the energy one can burst forth, and within five seconds after absorbing, one can control this energy to counterattack or dissipate it on their own, unable to store it for longer.

Whale Swallowing: Transform into a giant whale, breathe in and engulf mountains and rivers, increasing the energy absorbed to ten times.

"Awesome!" After reading it, Yi Zheng inwardly exclaimed in admiration.

His current strength was Tier 8 with one star, with various divine abilities enhancing his strength several times over, then casting All Things, summoning the great rabbit, and adding on this tenfold absorption power...

Yi Zheng truly couldn’t imagine who else in the same realm could compete with him!

However, Yi Zheng also noticed that the mouth-like Swallowing Rune quieted down after clashing with the Whale Swallowing Rune, even turning somewhat dim.

The Whale Swallowing Rune then transformed into a black hole suspended in the sky...

Yi Zheng reached out with his soul towards that mouth-like rune, and then a piece of information flashed through his mind.

"So that’s how it is—the Rune is specifically a ’Swallowing Rune’ from the literary runes. This Rune stands equally between the Literary Dao and the Swallowing Dao, belonging to both the Literary Dao and the Swallowing Dao.

In the realm of the Literary Dao, it has no use.

In the realm of the Swallowing Dao, it is also of little use.

But when it is combined with other Swallowing Runes, it can activate corresponding runes and evolve various divine abilities...

No wonder, no wonder the Whale Swallowing Rune was so excited when it encountered it.

Without it, I could only swallow blindly, unable to activate divine abilities.

With it, it’s perfect."

As Yi Zheng reflected, he found that his realm had advanced a step further, reaching the Great Perfection of the eighth level two-star.

However, Yi Zheng looked at his level, which was still 81, and had no intention of upgrading, which meant that from now on, the level of comprehension and the game’s level were completely separate.

"I see..."

Yi Zheng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Rabbit, what are you thinking about?" Sun Jinyan asked from the side.

Yi Zheng casually answered, "I’m thinking of where to go to kill a few players to earn Experience Value."

"Players? What are those?" Sun Jinyan asked.

Yi Zheng replied, "They are beings who, through the system, enhance their strength and enter realms like the Underground Immortal Realm, the Heavenly God Tribulation, and the Immortal Realm from various worlds."

Sun Jinyan exclaimed in realization, "Oh, that thing. I’ve heard recently that various continents are spawning cities, with many people from other worlds beginning to enter the major realms.

But they are so weak that I didn’t take it seriously.

It’s only after you mentioned it that I remembered."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng’s ears perked up instantly, "Do you know where they are? How strong are they? Can I go?"

Sun Jinyan laughed, "I know where they are, their strength is very weak, around the level of seven-star beginners, basically trash. As for you, a servant wishing to leave the mountain? Focus on your cultivation, when you become an Outer Disciple, maybe there will be a chance."

A glint of determination flashed through Yi Zheng’s eyes, "Becoming an Outer Disciple is enough?"

"Of course!" Sun Jinyan replied.

"Then how can one become an Outer Disciple?" Yi Zheng asked.

Sun Jinyan raised his hand and pointed toward two distant mountains, "See those two mountains?

Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, Book Mountain organizes a climb for the servants.

Those who reach the top become Outer Disciples."

Yi Zheng’s eyes lit up, "Another climb, huh?"

Sun Jinyan laughed, "Do you think that’s just an ordinary path? Those are two average mountains; there’s nothing special about the paths.

The one on the left is Wenchang Mountain, you just have to run up there."

"That simple?" Yi Zheng got excited.

Sun Jinyan laughed, "Yes, it’s that simple, but there are only three spots each year. Everyone climbs up together, you tell me... who should make it to the top?"

Yi Zheng’s expression changed instantly, just three spots?

That wasn’t just a simple climb, this was a battle!

He had noticed on his way up the mountain, those who applied for Wenchang Palace, their cultural level wasn’t high, but each was stronger than the last, the weakest at the peak of level eight, the strongest at nine and even ten!

Although Yi Zheng’s divine abilities were strong, challenging from level eight to level nine, ten?

How could he succeed?

Yi Zheng’s ears drooped instantly, "Crap... what’s the point of fighting then!"

Sun Jinyan said, "If you can’t fight your way up, just go to Wenqu Mountain, there’s no fighting on that path."

Yi Zheng immediately asked, "Then what’s the test?"

Sun Jinyan said with a grin, "The steps of Wenqu Mountain are not tough; they’re filled with questions. Answer one correctly, and you can advance one step up. The content isn’t tough either, stuff like matching couplets or composing poetry.

Rabbit, when I say it’s not tough, I mean for those who normally test into Wenqu Palace. As for you...

Forget it, you don’t stand a chance."

Yi Zheng immediately felt insulted, glaring at Sun Jinyan, "Who do you think you’re looking down on?"

Sun Jinyan chuckled, "What? Are you saying you want to try it?"

Yi Zheng thought about it and his ears drooped again, "You might as well keep looking down on me."

Sun Jinyan laughed heartily seeing the rabbit’s dejected look, finding him even more amusing.

Sun Jinyan patted the rabbit, chuckling mysteriously, "Stop thinking so much. Cultivation is a step-by-step journey; it doesn’t happen overnight. Don’t rush; take it slow...

Have a sleep, rest up, and tonight I’ll take you out for some delicious food."
