In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 18 Rabbit Demon: Three Sentences That Shocked All Demons

The rabbit demon's long ears stood up in fright, tears welled in her red eyes, and she opened her mouth wide to wail. She was terrified.

"Silence!"

A soft yet authoritative voice came from all directions.

The monsters shut their mouths, not daring to utter a word.

Even the rabbit demon, who was crying miserably, covered its mouth.

"I am the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range, and I have only recently awakened..." Gu Yuexi repeated her reply to the villagers to the demons.

"This humble demon greets the Golden Saintess!"

The Monkey King was the first to speak.

"This humble demon greets the Golden Saintess!"

The other monsters followed suit and spoke up.

"Are you all monsters from the Golden Saint Mountain Range?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"The little demon is a monkey demon!"

"The little demon is a wolf demon!"

"The little demon is a fox demon!"

"Little Demon is..."

Several monsters introduced themselves.

"Do you know that the most powerful demon in the Golden Saint Mountain Range has been cultivating for hundreds of years?"

Although Gu Yuexi knew there were demons in the mountains, she had not learned much about their cultivation levels.

"Yes...yes...little demon~"

The rabbit demon timidly raised its hand.

The Monkey King, the fox demon, the wolf demon, and others all turned their heads and gasped in surprise. They never expected that this crybaby would actually be the legendary Jade Rabbit Fairy with five hundred years of cultivation!

“Originally, each peak of the Golden Saint Mountain Range was inhabited by a thousand-year-old great demon. However, since the drought and the depletion of spiritual energy, the great demons have entered the mortal world to cultivate. Now, the mountains are filled with lesser demons with cultivation levels ranging from several decades to five hundred years.”

"According to the demons outside, I am now the most powerful demon in the Golden Saint Mountain Range," the rabbit demon said softly.

Gu Yuexi smiled: "Then how many years of cultivation have you had?"

The Monkey King and the other monsters were utterly shocked.

The wolf demon secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. It had been thinking of swallowing the rabbit demon whole when it went out, since she was the fattest among the group of rabbits. But it turned out that she was a five-hundred-year-old demon, while it only had a cultivation of three hundred years.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Upon hearing Gu Yuexi's question, the rabbit demon weakly replied, "Two thousand five hundred years of cultivation."

Monkey King: !!!
Fox Demon: ...

Bear Demon: ...

Wolf Demon: ...

Willow Tree Spirit: ...

Gu Yuexi nodded: "I noticed it just now."

Two thousand five hundred years of cultivation is equivalent to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

The Monkey King and the other monsters quickly moved about ten steps away from the Rabbit Demon.

Holy shit!
Isn't it rumored that the Jade Rabbit Fairy has 500 years of cultivation?

How could it be 2,500 years of cultivation?
Who ate the two thousand years?
The wolf demon was so scared he almost peed his pants.

Damn it, thank goodness I didn't make a move, or I would have been doomed.

Wait a minute! All those thousand-year-old demons have entered the mortal world to cultivate, why hasn't she gone out?
None of the monsters understood what was going on.

"The little demon didn't leave the mountain because she was too timid," the rabbit demon said earnestly.

This is the legendary Taoist.

"Your Majesty, please don't kill this little demon! This little demon is willing to submit to Your Majesty, please accept this little demon as your disciple!" The rabbit demon kowtowed sincerely.

"This little demon is also willing to submit to Your Majesty!"

"The little demon is willing too..."

Several monsters quickly pledged their loyalty.

This is a mountain spirit, a deity to them.

Opportunity!

What a great opportunity!
"This lady does not accept disciples. You should all cultivate diligently in the deep mountains."

The rabbit demon looked disappointed.

"This humble demon is willing to be Your Majesty's pet, only wishing that Your Majesty would allow this humble demon to lead the monkey troop to cultivate in the Seven Emperors Mountain."

The Monkey King kowtowed.

Gu Yuexi said, "The entire Golden Saint Mountain Range will soon be revitalized. You can cultivate near the Seven Emperors Mountain recently, but be careful not to disturb the villagers at the foot of the mountain." "Yes, yes, yes! We, the little demons, will obey Your Majesty's teachings."

The Monkey King kowtowed and offered himself: "This humble demon is willing to be Your Majesty's pet. Please accept this humble demon as your pet."

Gu Yuexi politely declined: "This lady has no need for a beast pet, Monkey King. Go and focus on your cultivation!"

"Yes," the Monkey King said dejectedly.

"Your Majesty, please accept this humble demon as your beast slave. This humble demon can do chores for Your Majesty."

The bear demon stepped forward and kowtowed.

“I don’t need beast slaves,” Gu Yuexi replied.

The bear demon was disappointed.

"Let's go back and cultivate for now."

None of the monsters were left behind, and they all looked disappointed.

The rabbit demon tugged at its long ears, then instantly transformed into its original form and vanished from the demons' sight at lightning speed.

When the Monkey King saw his impatient monkey offspring, he went up to them and patted their heads: "Go back."

Bear demons, wolf demons, fox demons, willow tree spirits, and others followed closely behind and left.

The giant phantom above the Golden Sacred Palace disappeared, and Gu Yuexi returned to the palace.

She was dressed in a golden-red palace gown, with flames engulfing her body, making her appear as sacred and majestic as a fire god.

[The essence of the sun is so pure that absorbing it once is comparable to possessing a third-tier spiritual vein.]

The system sighed, no wonder the host's will was so firm.

"By absorbing the sun's essence twice more, we can reduce the sun's excess heat and bring the temperature back to the level before the drought."

"It will take three months in total."

"The next time we absorb the sun's essence will be in ten days."

"In two more days, my cultivation level will likely increase by at least two stages."

The process of going from the first level of Qi Refining to the third level usually requires a lot of cultivation resources and takes at least a year, but she only needed two days.

The remaining miscellaneous tasks will be managed by the Five Elements Spirit Child, and she will need to go into seclusion for two more days.

The monkey king returned to his troop and sat on his throne, sighing continuously.

"I'm so adorable, how could the Golden Saintess not have a pang of pity and keep me as a pet?" she continued to sigh.

The monkey guard next to him touched his red bottom.

Your Majesty is truly shameless.

After three years without washing, the king's fur was a mess and he smelled bad. How could he say that he was so cute?

Several monkeys came bounding in, the one in the lead chattering loudly. It jumped in front of the throne and nudged the monkey king: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news!"

"Tell me quickly," the Monkey King leaned forward.

"It's raining down the mountain, and it's raining really hard. My monkey friends and I even caught two huge scoops of it!"

"Explain yourself more clearly, where is it raining down the mountain?" the Monkey King pressed.

"It's raining in Peach Blossom Village, a village inhabited by humans," the monkey replied.

A human village?
The monkey nudged the monkey king: "Your Majesty, let's hurry and fetch water! There are still quite a few monsters around!"

The Monkey King waved his hand and said, "Take the container and come with me. Remember, do not disturb the villagers down the mountain, or I will pluck your tails!"

The monkeys were chattering and squawking.

Fire Boy and Water Boy kept an eye on everything in Peach Blossom Village. When they saw monsters coming to collect water, they didn't say anything, as long as the monsters finished collecting the water and left quickly.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain did not notice the monsters' movements.

The villagers brought containers from their homes and filled them all to the brim.

Recently, the goddess has shown great mercy, sending down three heavy rainstorms in a row, and the villagers have indeed had enough water to drink.

"Great, great, we won't die of thirst anymore." Grandpa Zhou stood at the entrance of Peach Blossom Village, watching the people fetching water playing and frolicking in the rain, and laughed heartily.

The fox spirit also came to fetch water:

"The drought is killing monsters with thirst; even my fox fur is shedding terribly."

The Monkey King, along with his monkey followers, filled the wooden containers with water and left silently, never disturbing the human village.

Two days later, the weather cleared up, and Gu Yuexi emerged from seclusion.

"Don't you guys feel that the sun isn't so hot anymore?" Village chief Zhang Youhe couldn't see the changes in the sun, but he felt that he wasn't as hot as before, and the wind blowing over him wouldn't burn him.

"Perhaps the temperature dropped due to the three consecutive heavy rains," said Grandpa Zhou.

They were unaware that it was the Golden Saintess who absorbed the sun's heat, thus reducing the scorching heat.

"He has reached the third level of Qi Refining."

Gu Yuexi, still engulfed in flames, felt the abundant spiritual energy within her body. Seeing the changes in the villagers reflected in the water mirror, she smiled knowingly.
