Chapter 322 - 5: The Old God·Bahu (2/3)
Bahu, a deity from a thousand years ago among the Hundred Earth Barbarian Gods, was an Innate God born from banana leaves.
After being defeated by the Huai River Witch in magical combat, she was sealed within Feilai Peak.
It wasn’t until the appearance of the Celestial Erosion Monarch disrupted the seal on Feilai Peak that Bahu seized the opportunity to escape.
However, after escaping, Bahu first frequently clashed with the Gods of this era’s Hundred Lands, and then witnessed the might of Wuzhiqi’s army.
She sensed that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range would eventually fall into the hands of Wuzhiqi.
Unwilling to be imprisoned again, Bahu decisively chose to leave.
Journeying from south to east, Bahu traversed mountains and ridges, finally reaching a suitable resting place near the East Sea.
The "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky" incident erupted once more.
When Wu Yi’s divine split appeared before Bahu, she was nearly scared out of her wits.
Yet, for some unknown reason,
Wu Yi temporarily had no interest in dealing with a "weakling" like Bahu.
He merely glanced at Bahu and then proceeded into the depths of the East Sea to confront the Ancient Gods that had survived from time immemorial.
That battle was said to be earth-shattering.
The power of the tides advancing and retreating once pushed the coastline hundreds of kilometers inland.
Until the battle reached the borders of Great Xia.
Only then did Wu Yi harness the divine might of the Nine Tripods to defeat all the ancient gods in one fell swoop.
Yet, at that moment, the Great Xia Gods risked death to breach the Divine Land Barrier and backstab Wu Yi’s divine split at the last moment.
What happened after that, Bahu does not know.
For early on, when the order of heaven and earth collapsed and the Primordial Qi was chaotic, she had already weakened considerably.
If Bahu hadn’t also listened to Li Boyang’s teachings and learned the most basic Breathing Technique, forming a complete cycle of Life Essence Qi.
She might have long since become a mortal and perished in the subsequent series of calamities.
Even so, Bahu still went through countless hardships to return to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
When Bahu once again felt the favor of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and regained part of her divine power.
The heart she held high finally somewhat relaxed.
Unfortunately, the turmoil had inflicted too much damage on Bahu.
Combined with her inherent fear of this crisis, Bahu almost without hesitation decided to switch to cultivating the "Path of Celestial and Human."
But in doing so, a new problem arose.
Bahu was not a human-shaped deity and knew nothing about the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Li Boyang’s first sermon only articulated the essence of the "Path of Celestial and Human," without specifying specific cultivation methods.
To be able to establish a cycle of Life Essence Qi on the veins of her banana leaf body, avoiding the impact of external Qi disturbances.
Actually demonstrated the intelligence of Bahu.
Therefore, to further explore the specific cultivation method of the "Path of Celestial and Human."
Bahu decided to imitate the Spirit Monsters of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and acquire what she wanted from the mountain people.
Except for the slightly difficult acquisition of the Breathing Technique initially, the subsequent Perception Technique, pills, and talismans were much easier.
Because, during the cultivation of the Breathing Technique.
Bahu reshaped her image, transforming from a typical Barbaric God into a God of Civilization.
In a small mountain village with less than a hundred people, Bahu even became a Mountain God revered by them.
Much later, Bahu suddenly realized that these mountain people seemed to mistake her for a Ghost God just released from the Yunmeng Marsh?
With a bit of guilt and a bit of embarrassment...
Bahu cautiously connected with the outside world through this mountain village while not forgetting to gather all the information related to the Mountain Prophet.
After all, the Ghost Gods of Feilai Peak knew that the Mountain Prophet was actually the Red-haired Ghost God, the Descent Celestial Being.
It was during this process that Bahu accidentally discovered her remaining Gourd Vine had actually nurtured two Innate Gods.
Even the big dumb ox she had always dismissed had become the mount of the Mountain Prophet.
...........................
"Here it is!"
When Uncle Lu, riding the bronze horse, led several juniors from the village to a mountain forest.
He first removed the supplies from the horse’s back and indicated for the juniors to place them under a giant banana tree.
Swoosh!
A breeze passed, causing the giant banana tree to sway gently.
The next second, a graceful woman draped in light veils appeared beneath the banana tree.
This woman was Bahu, who had reshaped her own image.
Unexpectedly, Bahu’s transformation of her image was remarkably thorough.
Not only did she completely replicate the appearance of a human female, but her attire also aligned with the mountain people of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
The light veils she wore were woven from spider silk produced in Li Family Village...
The boots on her feet were made from leather and satin from Gao Family Village...
Even the belt around her waist was in typical mountain people’s style.
If not for seeing with one’s own eyes, it would be hard to believe Bahu was a deity.
At the very least, the juniors behind Uncle Lu were already dumbfounded, having never seen such a beautiful woman.
"You fools, what are you staring at!"
With a kick, Uncle Lu knocked the juniors to the ground, then bowed respectfully to Bahu.
"I apologize, esteemed Mountain God, for the ignorance of these juniors."
With a gentle smile, Bahu naturally bore no grudge against the mere gazes of mortals.
On the contrary, Uncle Lu’s astute and decisive behavior always intrigued Bahu.
"Shall we follow the usual rules?"
"I’ll first inspect the goods you’ve brought this time."
"Once I’m satisfied, I’ll reward you accordingly. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu immediately nodded in agreement, as this indeed was the mutually established arrangement.
"Please, respected Mountain God, proceed with the inspection. Our Mountain Village never deals in subpar goods."
Uncle Lu’s tone was full of confidence, reflecting the integrity the Mountain Village had painstakingly built over the years.
Not to mention a profound Mountain God.
Even the tiniest of villages, the Mountain Village would never exploit people in these matters.
"No need to be so tense, I trust you."
Casually opening the closest bag to her.
The first thing to meet Bahu’s eyes was a collection of intricate mechanical creations.
These precision devices were crafted following the Luo Book, some even made with bronze materials.
With simple assembly, they could form talisman launchers of various specifications and forms.
This was the first batch of goods in the transaction between both parties — weapons sufficient to equip several hunters.
