The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 242 Listen to me, let me see. (6k long chapter)

In the county town, Shao Hua and Lin Nuoyi went to the cinema to watch a rather unconventional and bizarre movie.

Yeah, the kind where you book the whole place yourself.

Lin Nuoyi is a real rich woman, so this is easy for her.

She knew that Shaohua preferred quiet, and that if she were to appear openly in public, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, her identity was no longer a secret.

Although no camera method could capture her image, many people had seen her true face in the Taihang Mountains back then, so she might be recognized.

In fact, they weren't the only ones who went to see the movie; other people who were being secretly photographed, and even some strange beasts, went to watch it too.

For example, the big black ox and the little yellow ox, who lived far away in the Kunlun Mountains, even led a group of demon kings to join in the fun. They were filmed by someone risking their life, which added a huge amount of popularity to the movie out of nowhere.

There's nothing we can do; Shaohua gave us so much back then.

A tender bud from a willow tree transformed the big black ox and the little yellow ox, with the former instantly becoming a top beast king, holding an extremely high position in the Kunlun Mountains.

Upon hearing that his most revered fairy was in the movie, the big black ox immediately led a group of beasts to help out, completely unaware that Shao Hua was also in a passive role.

The scalper knew that it and Shaohua had been following each other on their communicators and were in contact, but it would never reveal the inside story and was happy to see it this way.

"My goodness, this movie 'Legend of the Heavenly Emperor: Rise of the Great Wilderness' has had an incredible impact! Have you seen the news online? Even the Kunlun Beast Kings went to see it with a group!"

"How strange! This is unbelievable! What magic does this movie have that made a group of beast kings book out an entire theater to watch it? No way, even outcasts are paying attention to it. I haven't seen it yet, that can't be right!"

"Unexpectedly, it's a fantasy time-travel drama. A young man is accidentally stranded in another world, encounters a celestial maiden's remnant soul who guides him, transforming his useless body into a sacred one. He leaves the Great Wilderness, advancing triumphantly all the way, and finally becomes an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor."

When Shaohua walked out of the movie theater, she still had a strange look on her face, clearly still feeling the effects of the aftereffects.

Well, this movie is truly bizarre, with all sorts of forced connections, but for some reason, she had a subtle sense of déjà vu while watching certain scenes.

Is the term "Heavenly Emperor" really something that can be used casually?

What are those remnant souls, the Great Wilderness, and the Holy Body?

It must be said that bad movies are common, and sensationalism is nothing special, but when they are bad to a certain extent and sensationalism is beyond measure, they can generate a huge response.

To be fair, this film isn't too bad; at least the shots are very realistic, and many of them were filmed on location.

Scenes like Shao Hua casually killing the Silver Celestial God and others were given a lot of special effects and rendered as a scene where the remnant soul of a celestial maiden forcibly intervened and appeared to support her disciple. She even arrogantly declared, "Whoever hurts my disciple, I will destroy their lineage."

Not to mention the scene where she slapped the mountain into dust, which was a real event that actually happened. Her black dress fluttered in the wind, making her a figure of unparalleled elegance.

The fact that its true appearance is impossible to see no matter what has happened has sparked endless beautiful fantasies for everyone. Many people have commented that it is precisely this hazy, ambiguous feeling that is so appealing.

Some people who participated in the Battle of Taihang Mountain left messages saying that she was unbelievably beautiful, like a celestial being descended to earth.

Unfortunately, no video footage could capture her face, and even those who had seen her found it difficult to describe her appearance.

This added to her mystique.

However, while some were happy, others were sad. After the movie was released, some people had strong objections to it because the villainous Silverwing God died in the movie, and in reality, he had also perished in the Taihang Mountains long before.

The scene of Shao Hua casually killing the young master of the Mu family and the Xu sisters was played out directly, and everyone was portrayed as villains. It's no wonder there were objections.

The most awkward thing is that in reality, they actually have to shamelessly fawn over that woman!
"I know Lin Nuoyi is still by her side, but are you going to let the grudge against my Mu family go so easily? Don't forget, Xu Wanyi is your Lin family's prospective daughter-in-law!" Someone from the Mu family slammed their fist on the table, unable to suppress the murderous intent in their heart.

"Don't be impatient!"

An elder from the Lin family stepped forward, his aged eyes meeting the furious Mu family members, and he spoke calmly, "Do you know what Nuoyi learned while staying by the side of that person in the Taihang Mountains?"

"Hmph, tell me." Although the Mu family members came with anger, they knew that the Lin family would not speak carelessly about important matters.

“A few days ago, a mysterious expert appeared on Mount Tai. He overwhelmed all the heroes and made many beast kings bow down. Do you know who that is?” the old man of the Lin family suddenly asked.

The Mu family members felt a chill run down their spines. Under these circumstances, what other answer could they possibly have when they asked a question in return?

"That's right, the mysterious expert who appeared on Mount Tai is the same one from Mount Taihang. She personally took Nuoyi to Mount Tai," the elder of the Lin family said righteously.

"If you want revenge, you can, but please remember, it was your Mu family's doing, it has nothing to do with Tianshen Biotechnology, and it has nothing to do with us!"

What could the Mu family say? They could only leave in anger.
Mount Lu is one of the most famous mountains in China.

In ancient times, there was a saying about the Three Mountains and the Five Sacred Mountains. Mount Lu was one of the Three Mountains, holding a very high status and truly being a famous mountain.

There have naturally been fierce battles fought by beast kings here, but they all eventually retreated.

Today, there is a towering ancient tree with lush branches and leaves standing beside the Lushan Waterfall. Few people know that it is actually a tree that can transform animals into human form.

Similar fruits can be found in other places, but without a doubt, those from this place are the best.

At this moment, many beast kings arrived together and appeared in front of the Lushan Waterfall. The white snake was among them, and Shaohua did not restrict its movements much.

"Please, fellow Daoist, send some Transformation Fruits." The Beast Kings bowed together, all very politely.

"Yes." The ancient tree seemed to have a spirit, and it actually spoke, shaking its branches and letting down dozens of bright orange fruits as a gift to them.

"Thank you!"

Unlike other beast kings who rushed to eat the Transformation Fruit halfway through their journey, the White Snake chose to return to the Taihang Mountains first.

"Interesting, it really has taken human form." Shao Hua clapped her hands and laughed.

After her trip to Mount Tai, she became more composed, or perhaps her heart was heavy, but she did not change her love for watching interesting things or her pursuit of beautiful things.

The nearly 100-meter-long white snake's body crackled and emitted a blinding light, eventually taking on a human-like appearance.

Lin Nuoyi brought a set of prepared clothes and stepped forward to give them to the white snake, carefully examining it with her eyes.

Such a large snake, yet it transformed right before your eyes into a fair-skinned and beautiful woman, so vibrant and alluring that anyone who came would be unable to resist taking a second look.

After the White Snake transformed into human form, she appeared elegant and refined, with long white hair flowing down her back and a cold demeanor.

She was tall and graceful, with a slender waist and long legs. Her narrow eyes carried an innate indifference.

The white dress with a slightly antique style suited her perfectly.

"Do you have a name?" Shaohua asked.

"No." The White Snake's voice was already cold before she transformed, but now in human form, it has become more melodious and gentle.

A name is just a label, but she has a thousand years of cultivation and is the only queen of the Taihang Mountains. The White Snake is the White Snake, so she naturally doesn't need any label.

"There's a legend about a white snake in the human world, but it wouldn't be very elegant to just use that name directly. So let's call you Bai Su," Shao Hua said with a light laugh.

The White Snake readily agreed, unaware of the true meaning behind this seemingly casually bestowed name.

Even though Shao Hua has lost all her supernatural powers and is no longer what she used to be, at least in this universe, her bestowed name still carries some unimaginable power, gathering a huge amount of fortune for the White Snake out of thin air.

After all, her last obsession has been repeated time and again in this universe, and its impact on this life's resurgence is far-reaching, making her words seem like imperial pronouncements.

"Who is she?" In the courtyard of Qingyang Town, Lu Shiyun felt a sense of impending doom upon seeing Bai Su.

This woman has such a slim waist, such long legs, and eyes that are both cold and alluring. She even felt a little tempted by her. She's unbelievably beautiful.

Bai Su, with a somewhat aloof demeanor and a cold, pretty face, was led upstairs by Shao Hua.

Lin Nuoyi then told Lu Shiyun and Jiang Luoshen about her background.

"It's actually the white snake from the Taihang Mountains?!" Lu Shiyun exclaimed in surprise.

"The transformation of a demon beast into human form, the white snake into a beautiful woman—myths and legends have come true." Jiang Luoshen exclaimed in amazement.

In the study on the second floor, Shao Hua closed the door, wanting to give Bai Su a thorough examination. She was still quite interested in the transformation of demonic beasts into human form.

"Be good, let me see."

Bai Su obeyed her every command, and sat on the bed without hesitation, taking off her clothes. With her long legs together, she really looked like a beautiful snake.

Three days later, in Shuntian City, several great beast kings entered the capital together. The news of their transformation into human form shook the world and also represented the signing of some peaceful coexistence agreements between many beast kings and humans.

Of course, the so-called peaceful coexistence mainly refers to famous mountains that are owned by others; in places where fierce battles are still taking place, this agreement may not be observed.

But it's already pretty good; at least in many places, we no longer have to worry about beast tides.

"Hahaha, having broken free of the old shackles, I now know who I am, I have returned as king!" Chu Feng returned, laughing happily, his mouth almost reaching the back of his head.

After this evolution, he grew much taller, from 179 centimeters to 185 centimeters, and also grew a head of long hair. His body was strong and powerful, and shimmered with a crystal-clear luster.

However, he was not the only one to break free of his shackles and become king; Lin Nuoyi also quietly reached this level.

"Very good, Wang Chufeng, now I'm giving you a difficult task." Shao Hua didn't let Chufeng rest at all, her main focus was on being considerate.

Chu Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Sister, I just got home, I haven't even had a chance to warm my backside, and you're already making me go out again?"
Even cattle and horses aren't treated like this!
At this moment, Chu Feng missed the yellow ox far away in Kunlun. That was the real ox, and he should go and command it.

Shao Hua's task for Chu Feng was simple: to go out and wander around on her behalf, so that no one would bother him.

For a long time, many powerful forces have sent invitations to her, and recently, with the transformation of demonic beasts into human form, even the offspring of those beast kings have taken human shape and are walking through human cities. Both humans and beasts want to see her, and Lin Nuoyi is almost overwhelmed. The white snake, being of a cold and aloof nature, still prefers to stay in the mountains or stay by her side after transforming, unwilling to come out and show its face in public.

Lin, Jiang, and Lu, the three women, each have their own backgrounds and are nominally her 'prisoners,' so they cannot represent her.

Chu Feng became the most suitable candidate, as everyone knew there was a relationship between the two.

"The pressure is immense!" Chu Feng exclaimed.

My sister Guang was the first person to become a mountain king after the cataclysmic changes in the world, the first person to subdue the beast king, and also the most famous and mysterious person on the internet.

If she were to represent them, she would inevitably face scrutiny from various powerful forces.

"Don't feel pressured. Just think of it as coming home for a visit. Yeah, don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either. When it's time to take action, take action." Shao Hua instructed.

With a firm resolve, Chu Feng returned to his hometown next door to reunite with his parents. After resting for a night, he headed to Shuntian City the next day.

In a mere two thousand miles, after entering the Shackled Realm, he could break the sound barrier with a single sprint, which was in line with the strength of a King-level creature and could reach the speed of sound.

If you're in a hurry, you don't need to rush; it only takes an hour or two to get there. The downside is that it takes some effort.

"Chu Feng got into a fight at a banquet and almost killed a beast prince's offspring." Lin Nuoyi was very well-informed.

The cause was quite simple: when Chu Feng went to the Guiyun Plateau to kill the Wolf King, he made a name for himself by stepping on the corpse of an alien. Coupled with the Mu family's instigation, it was impossible for them not to have a conflict.

Soon, Chu Feng called back and said, "A weasel was acting arrogantly, belittling and humiliating humans. I taught it a lesson."

An explanation is still necessary, since he was representing Shaohua when he went out this time.

“I thought you would kill it,” Shao Hua said.

"After all, this is a banquet, and it's not good to see blood. If anyone attacks me again, I won't show any mercy." Chu Feng was determined.

As a result, when he went for a stroll outside the city, he was attacked by the aliens again.

This time, it wasn't the offspring of the Beast King who made the move, but two quasi-kings who had broken through their realms but hadn't yet broken free from any of their shackles; their strength far exceeded the awakened level.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong target.

Chu Feng cultivated a top-tier breathing technique and used supreme pollen as a catalyst. Upon breaking through, he broke free of one of his shackles and became a true king-level creature.

How can a mere quasi-king be compared to a true king?
Before long, the carcasses of a large peacock and a weasel lay quietly on the ground. Chu Feng immediately set up a picnic and grilled the peacock meat.

He even took a photo and brazenly posted it online, causing a stir.

"While hunting in the countryside, I happened to encounter someone roasting it!"

Many people immediately understood that this was clearly an attempt by an outsider to seek revenge, only to be killed instead, which was both amusing and morale-boosting.

The weasel and peacock tribes suffered a great loss and, thinking that Chu Feng was also a potential king, began to harbor wicked intentions and wanted to harm his parents.

"We found out. He had previously taken his parents back to their hometown, a small town at the foot of the Taihang Mountains."

"Foolish! If this were Shuntian, we might be a little wary, but how dare he leave people in the town?"

"It is said that the master of Taihang Mountain is in the town. This time, Chu Feng is representing that person. If he makes a rash move, it will be bad if he offends a king." Someone hesitated.

"Killing my clan's quasi-king must come at a price. We'll sneak into the town, kidnap Chu Feng's parents, and at worst cripple him but spare his life. Do you think that guy from Taihang Mountain will personally intervene?" someone said resolutely.

That night, another peacock flew towards the Taihang Mountains with a weasel; both beasts were quasi-kings.

"A little bird and a mouse."

Outside Qingyang Town, a tall and graceful white figure stopped and looked up at the sky.

Bai Su never expected that her trip down the mountain would result in a late-night snack being delivered to her door.

A moment later, she wiped her mouth, making her red lips appear even more vibrant.

The two quasi-kings were terrified by the white snake and, before they died, spilled everything out like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"So they came here to cause trouble," Bai Su muttered to herself, carrying the remaining large peacocks to the east side of Qingyang Town.

Lin Nuoyi and her two friends looked at the giant peacock that was over ten meters long and could easily guess what was going on. However, they never expected that they would have to "kill a chicken" so late at night.

Shao Hua also took a picture like Chu Feng, and skillfully logged into her personal public platform, posted a picture with the caption: "Good luck, chicken dinner tonight!"

"My God, this isn't a chicken, it's a peacock! It looks exactly like the one I saw on Chu Feng's ship this afternoon!"

"Wait, what am I seeing? Three stunningly beautiful women are squatting on the ground plucking chicken feathers! No, my goddess Jiang, stop! Let go of that chicken and let me have it!"

"To be honest, am I the only one who wants to taste what a peacock at the Quasi-King level tastes like?"

Chu Feng also left a comment below, fanning the flames: "This peacock meat is really delicious. Sister Guang, when shall we go and get a few more?"

Upon seeing this news, the internet erupted in excitement. Was the person from the Taihang Mountains about to make a move?
Shaohua didn't take action; someone else did it for her.

The next day, before dawn, Chu Feng had already quietly arrived in Tianjin and launched an attack on Panshan Mountain, which was occupied by the weasel clan.

Chu Feng was furious, and the consequences were naturally severe. Anyone who dared to harm his parents would have to pay the price. His purpose in coming here was to destroy Ping Shan Village!

Before long, he had already stormed Panshan Mountain, and no beast could stop him.

The ancestor of the weasel clan was merely a minor king who had broken two shackles. Although Chu Feng had only broken one shackle, he was still able to suppress his opponent.

"Boy, don't go too far. I'm a member of the alliance that the Peacock King belongs to," the Weasel Ancestor threatened, though he was actually all bark and no bite.

"Hmph, you think you can scare me with the Peacock King? It can't even protect itself!" Chu Feng strode forward, his killing intent palpable.

In the end, the Beast King died, his entire clan was wiped out, and Panshan changed its name.

Chu Feng also acquired a crimson flying sword and the sword control technique that matched it.

Meanwhile, the White Snake, Bai Su, also charged towards Mount Tai, where she found the bewildered Peacock King and began to fight him.

There was originally no difference between the two beast kings, but the white snake had chosen the right person. Not only had she eaten willow buds, but she had also tasted the vermilion fruit before coming here.

Other beast kings could only break six shackles at most, but after she took the divine medicine, all the shackles on her body were gone. If it weren't for the restrictions on the revival of heaven and earth, which temporarily did not allow the existence of beings with more than shackles, it would not have been difficult for her to break through to the realm of freedom!
"It's only because the Lord told me to keep a low profile that you were able to fight me for so many rounds."

Bai Su muttered to herself, revealing her true form. Her slender tail whipped through the air like a dragon's tail, or a celestial blade cleaving the sky. The speed was so fast that it instantly cleaved the Peacock King from the sky, slamming him into the ground, his fate unknown.

"Considering your arduous cultivation and our shared status as Beast Kings, I'll spare your life this time," she said coldly, then turned and left.

In reality, this was Chu Feng's request; he wanted to take revenge himself in the future.

"The White Snake King is so cold and domineering! I want to have a love affair with her that transcends species!"

"Pah! You wild boar, don't you even take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You think you're worthy?"

"That's incredible! I don't think the White Snake King even used her full strength to defeat the Peacock King. Most importantly, she came for that person in the Taihang Mountains and still serves him as her master. Just how strong is that person?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Mount Tai fell silent.

“I suspect that the one who overwhelmed us all in this sacred place was that woman from the Taihang Mountains. She must have received some great opportunity that even the White Snake King benefited from,” a beast king suggested, and the idea quickly gained the approval of most.

Soon, the two messages went viral online, causing a stir among countless people.

"Shocking! Explosive news! It's unbelievable! Panshan has been leveled by Chu Feng!"

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The White Snake King suddenly appeared on Mount Tai, powerfully injured the Peacock King, and then gracefully departed!"

These two stories are astonishing. Beast kings across the land are horrified, and high-ranking officials of various factions are petrified.

Given that this man and snake have such a glorious record, how powerful must the entity behind them in the Taihang Mountains be?!
Many people laughed heartily, feeling exhilarated. In the past few days, they had witnessed the freaks being arrogant, disrespectful, and even humiliating humans. After intercepting and killing Chu Feng, they went on to harm his parents.

Now things are much better. The weasel clan has been wiped out by Ping Shan, and the entire Panshan Mountain has become Chu Feng's spoils of war. The Peacock King has also been taught a lesson and dares not be presumptuous again.

In an instant, the arrogance of the outcasts was suppressed.

That day, Chu Feng's communicator was bombarded with calls, so he simply turned it off. He decided not to take over Panshan Mountain and instead handed over all the weasel carcasses along with the entire mountain to the relevant departments in exchange for exotic soil and cultivation techniques.

Using only the Mighty Bull Demon Fist isn't enough; it's a good opportunity to expand my repertoire.

After getting what he wanted, he went back to his hometown to study sword control techniques.

"It's called sword control, but it's actually a mental manipulation technique." Shao Hua took a look and instantly grasped its essence, mastering it completely.

It's easy to understand and learn, but unfortunately, none of it is of any use to her.

“Someone came to the Lin family and asked me to pass on a message that they want to see you,” Lin Nuoyi said.

"Oh? Who made you take this so seriously?" Shaohua asked.

"The master of Biyou Palace," Lin Nuoyi informed him.

"His name is quite impressive. Come to think of it, I feel like I'm the Queen Mother of the West. Could he really be the Tongtian Sect Leader?" Shao Hua smiled. She had read through all the myths and legends on Earth, including some fictional biographies and stories created by later generations.

Lin Nuoyi paused slightly, then said seriously, "There are rumors that the master of Biyou Palace is indeed named Tongtian."

Shao Hua's heart skipped a beat.
