Chapter 818: Chapter 414 Buzhou Mountain

Qin Shou said, "No matter the reason, we’ll know once we check it out."

After speaking, Qin Shou took out the Black Demon Box that he had not used for a long time.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace said, "I’ll go with you."

Fat Cat raised its paw, "Count me in, we can’t just ignore Chongba after he saved us."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked at them in surprise and then admired, "You guys really have a good friendship, if you can come back, I’ll officiate your wedding."

"Get lost!" Three roars later, Eastern Emperor Taiyi really rolled away, muttering as he went, "What’s this? Burning bridges after crossing them? Abandoning at the end? Sigh..."

Qin Shou couldn’t be bothered with him, then said to Fat Cat and the Eight Trigrams Furnace, "I’ll go by myself this time. You heard what Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, there’s no danger for me to go, but it might not be the case for you. Just help me take care of the Moon Palace."

Fat Cat and the Eight Trigrams Furnace thought about it carefully, and it did make sense.

Outside, they were helpers.

But once they entered the Black Mirror, they would only be burdens.

So although they were reluctant, they still nodded and said, "Rabbit, don’t worry, we know what to do. But before you go, aren’t you going to say goodbye to your girl?"

Qin Shou looked back towards the direction of the Moon Palace, only to see Chang’e standing above the pavilion, her hand on the railing, looking up at him.

Their eyes met, and without superfluous words, they instantly understood each other’s intentions.

Then Chang’e nodded to him slightly, as if to say, "Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here."

Qin Shou smiled faintly and then, without any regrets, opened the Black Demon Box and dived in!

It was still Throne Mountain, silent all around, but Qin Shou noticed that there were many more corpses, all of which were charred as if they had been struck by lightning or scorched by flames.

"Master mentioned that he created a portal here, could he have set up some backup to prevent people from the Black Mirror from entering the real world?" Qin Shou guessed.

Just then, a figure appeared in the distance, who bowed to Qin Shou from afar and said, "Fellow Daoist, this way please."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow and asked, "And who are you?"

The person smiled, "I’m just a nameless nobody, your friend is at my master’s place. If you wish to see him, you can follow me."

Since Qin Shou was here, he had nothing to fear, so he nodded and said, "Lead the way."

The person turned and flew forward, and before long, Qin Shou saw a mountain so high it seemed to pierce the heavens.

The person smiled, "This is Buzhou Mountain."

Qin Shou was taken aback and exclaimed, "Buzhou Mountain? Wasn’t it...?"

The person nodded, "It has already collapsed in your world, but here, it’s still intact. After all, in our place, nobody would mend the sky for the sake of others."

Qin Shou thought about it; these guys were all Black Avatars, each selfish and cruel by nature, and indeed they were unlikely to mend the sky for the world’s sake. It was already good enough that they didn’t annihilate the living beings.

However, Qin Shou still found something puzzling; that was, when Nvwa mended the sky, she accrued tremendous merit and became a Saint directly.

Do the people here not have the desire to replicate the experience of Nvwa becoming a saint?

The man laughed and said, "I know what you’re thinking. Many things here are the same as outside. For instance, the status of a saint, there are only a few spots, and they are currently filled. Even if someone mended the sky and gained infinite merit, they could not become a saint. There is only one way to become a saint now..."

Qin Shou asked, "What method?"

At this point, the man said solemnly, "For a saint to fall from the Saint Realm!"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "How could that be possible?"

The man nodded and said, "Exactly. Saints have a lifespan equal to heaven’s, immortal and indestructible. How could they possibly fall from the Saint Realm..."

"Who says it’s impossible?" Just then, a disdainful voice came from the mountain.

Qin Shou looked up but saw no one.

However, the guide shivered with fear, quickly bowed, and said, "Ancestor, I have brought the Rabbit."

"Go down, Rabbit. You come up—we need to talk alone. Your friend is also here!" The other side seemed worried that Qin Shou might run away and specifically reminded him.

Qin Shou rolled his eyes. He was already here; where could he possibly run to?

By now, Qin Shou had realized that the person he was going to meet was not a saint but was almost at that level! In front of such a being, Qin Shou genuinely didn’t think he had a chance to escape.

So, Qin Shou casually responded, "Alright, I’m coming up now."

Qin Shou did not know how high Buzhou Mountain was, but he noticed a peculiar phenomenon—the mountain had a universe at every step!

That is to say, the stairs for climbing the mountain corresponded to different worlds with each step!

Sometimes Qin Shou found himself walking in the sea, but the next moment he was in the sky, and with another step, he was underground... That feeling of worlds flashing before his eyes was incredibly bizarre.

The person on the mountain spoke up, "No need to think too much. Buzhou Mountain supports not just the single world you see, but countless worlds. If we consider Buzhou Mountain as the main trunk of a large tree, then those worlds are the leaves hanging on the trunk. That’s why, as you walk up, you see the scenery of these worlds."

Qin Shou heard such an analogy for the first time... He couldn’t help but ask, "Are you kidding me? By your logic, if Buzhou Mountain collapses, wouldn’t all the leaves fall to the ground?"

"Yes!" The person replied decisively.

Qin Shou was stunned, "Cao... doesn’t that mean all the worlds will crash and die?"

The person chuckled lightly and said, "That’s why no one here touches Buzhou Mountain. In your world, if Buzhou Mountain collapsed, Nvwa would have to sacrifice her life to substitute... She wasn’t just saving a few people, but countless creatures across countless worlds. That is the fundamental reason for her ascension to sainthood. Otherwise, how could merely mending the sky lead to sainthood?"

In fact, Qin Shou had also pondered this question before the person spoke. The Earthly Immortal Realm was so vast, and although the sky was also large, even if it truly had holes, it shouldn’t destroy an entire world, right?

The explanation on this side seemed more credible, with the support destroyed and the world collapsing; that made more sense.

Qin Shou didn’t know how long he had walked, but he finally reached the peak of Buzhou Mountain. To say it was the peak, Qin Shou was not even sure it was the peak. Because there was only one tree here!

The branches of the great tree twisted and spiraled, its ancient and robust trunk like an ink painting spread out, and on the extended branches sat a person, wearing a pitch-black robe, with white hair, beside whom sat Chongba.

Upon seeing Qin Shou, Chongba gave a wry smile and waved.

Qin Shou approached but ignored the old man and instead asked Chongba, "How did you end up capsizing in the gutter?"
