Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

Who knows.

The gray-robed mountain god swallowed hard, his eyes revealing deep apprehension.

"Are you from Anshan Li Yuan's group?"

"this......"

"It was my fault. I was tempted by greed, and I shouldn't have done that!"

"Young man... no, young friend, please don't be angry!"

"I'll give you something as an apology; I hope you'll understand!"

A crystal-clear spiritual fruit was tossed out, carrying a misty spiritual aura; it was quite precious.

After throwing out the spiritual fruit, the gray-robed mountain god gritted his teeth and turned around, disappearing without a trace.

He didn't know if Li Yuan could 'see' what was happening here, and he dared not gamble.

They would rather apologize and risk further trouble from Li Yuan than dare to entertain any more thoughts about it.

It's better to get beaten up than to have a complete falling out and then get chopped up!

Li Xiaoan had already mobilized all his blood and energy, preparing for battle, but he never expected this outcome.

The spirit fruit was also caught by the big black dog and stored in its pouch using a storage technique.

"It seems he's been terrified of the Mountain God."

A hint of pride shone in the big black dog's eyes.

Li Xiaoan rubbed the big black dog's dark head and chuckled softly:

"Back when Lord Li Yuan was only a seventh-rank mountain god, he single-handedly suppressed more than a dozen of them, the mountain and river gods."

"Now, as an ancient mountain god with a fourth-rank divine position, I am worlds apart from these guys."

"They were naturally terrified when they recalled Lord Li Yuan's imposing presence."

As people of Anshan, they had all heard Li Yuan tell stories of his travels.

That's why you can guess what the other person has been through just by looking at that crack in their neck.

"Now that we have seen the immortals and gods who were beaten up by Lord Li Yuan..."

"The Linglong River must not be far away."

The man and his dog continued onward, without giving this minor incident a detour.

Their goal was to visit the Linglong River and then head to Zhenmo Pass for some serious training.

As for Linchuan, the source of the Linglong River...

Li Xiaoan remembered: Lord Li Yuan said that the Mountain God of Linchuan seemed to be a 'socially awkward' person?

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of those two words, he understood Li Yuan's intention: to try not to bother them.

We continued on our journey, crossing several more mountain peaks.

When thirsty, drink from the clear spring in the mountains; when hungry, find some tree fruit in the mountains.

The two of them, one human and one dog, strolled along, savoring the sense of detachment from the world.

After several days and nights, they finally emerged from the mountains and saw a rushing river.

After passing through riverside houses and several small towns, I changed into a brand new set of clothes.

Li Xiaoan then used the storage method to retrieve the gift from his bosom and headed towards the center of the river.

Finding a secluded spot, Li Xiaoan, accompanied by the large black dog, used a secret technique to walk directly towards the river.

My foot touched the water, but it didn't sink; it only created a slight ripple.

Walking on water is as easy as walking on flat ground.

The big black dog rarely felt this way, and it started running around excitedly.

When they reached the widest part of the Linglong River, Li Xiaoan signaled the big black dog to be quiet before activating his telepathic communication technique.

"Friends of Linglong River!"

"My name is Li Xiaoan, and I am from Anshan."

"While traveling through the human world, passing by this blessed land, Li Yuan, the mountain god of Anshan, comes to visit an old friend!"

Li Xiaoan bowed slightly, his voice clear and melodious. A corner of his light blue robe touched the water's surface, yet remained unstained.

The river flows ceaselessly, and the Linglong River remains calm.

It seems that no intelligent creatures live in the river.

Li Xiaoan waited patiently for a while.

The big black dog was puzzled:

"There seems to be no response from the river at all. Could it be that the Linglong River has forgotten the friendship of yesteryear?"

Li Xiaoan shook his head slightly: "The river is long and the information may take some time to travel, so don't rush it."

He remembered Li Yuan saying that an old turtle was in charge of the Linglong River.

Old Ao is not a god or immortal, so naturally he doesn't have the ability to sense the entire river instantly.

After waiting for a while, just as he was about to send another message.

Upstream, a massive dark shadow rapidly approached underwater.

"Ouch!"

"Are you two friends from Ansan?"

"I'm late, so sorry..."

A giant turtle's head emerged from the river, wearing an excited and sincere smile.

After smelling Li Yuan's scent on the person and the dog, his smile became even brighter.

The old turtle emerged from the river, its body, larger than a house, half of which was visible in the water.

"Today is a big day for Linglong River!"

"All the sentient beings have swum to the source of the great river. I, Old Ao, only rushed here after hearing the message, and I apologize for the delay..."

Old Ao, just like a human, cupped his two claws together and gave an apologetic smile.

Li Xiaoan was raised by Li Yuan and has a similar personality; he doesn't care about such trivial matters.

He simply smiled and presented the gift.

"Senior has his own things to attend to. I only waited for a short while. It's nothing."

Old Ao quickly exchanged a few polite words and inquired about Li Yuan's situation, his tone full of respect.

Li Xiaoan remained calm and composed, with a faint smile, and chatted with Lao Ao for a while.

“Young friend, you are from Anshan, and you are naturally friends with Linglong River.”

"Now that it is a joyous occasion at Linglong River, would you like to come with me, Old Ao, to take a look?"

Old Ao, recalling what had happened that day, invited Li Xiaoan and the big black dog to join him.

Li Yuan once saved Linglong River's life, and now, on this joyous occasion, people from Anshan have come, which shows that it is the will of Heaven!

This made Lao Ao even happier.

A man and a dog stood on the back of the old turtle and quickly headed upstream on the Linglong River.

The old turtle was extremely fast in the water, and it arrived at the source in just a short while.

When they arrived, they happened to arrive during a major event at the Linglong River.

The source of the Linglong River is located in the Linchuan Gorge.

In the center of that vast lake, a dazzling ball of light shimmered.

In a mere instant, it burst forth in full bloom, splitting into a portal in the void.

A peerless figure emerged from within, graceful and ethereal, exuding an aura of mystery, as if favored by the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

A slender, delicate hand, whiter than mutton fat jade, gently rested on the void portal.

That peerless figure stepped lightly out from behind the door, crossing the threshold in a single step.

It was as if they had crossed the line between life and death, and traversed the divide between the human world and the underworld.

Taking this step means overcoming suffering and achieving ultimate sublimation.

A new great god will be born in the Three Realms.

"Lord River God!"

Old Ao cheered, his voice carrying for dozens of miles.

"River God, the River God is back!!!"

All the creatures of the Linglong River shouted excitedly, their voices so powerful that they almost shook the entire Linchuan region.

In the distance, a silver-haired, black-clad figure who had been secretly observing frowned slightly:

"..."

However, today is an auspicious day, so the mountain god of Urokawa endured it.

In that canyon and the great lake.

The portal in the void trembled slightly, as if it could not withstand the pressure of that figure and was about to collapse.

However, the exquisite river goddess, dressed in a long, colorful robe, merely turned her gaze slightly and touched her delicate hand.

Everything then calmed down.

Breathing in the air of the human world and feeling the beauty of life, a hint of joy and nostalgia flashed across the exquisite river goddess's perfect face.

She stood suspended in mid-air, her posture transcendent.

Her hair was glistening, each strand radiating light; a golden-red fairy mark between her brows adorned her peerless face, adding a touch of mystery and enigma.

Her colorful dress shimmered with a faint divine light, making her appear like a celestial maiden descended to earth.

Many creatures of the Linglong River joyfully gathered around it, circling the figure of the Linglong River God.

Looking at these creatures of the Linglong River, the Linglong River God smiled gently.

Suddenly, the world seemed to darken, all things fell silent, leaving only this exquisite smile.

After exchanging a few words with the creatures of the Linglong River, the Linglong River seemed to sense something, slightly raising its eyes and gazing into the depths of the Linchuan River.

But all they saw was a tall, slender figure striding away.

She bowed silently to that retreating figure, her posture graceful and beautiful, her movements light and graceful, as if she possessed an ethereal quality, otherworldly and gentle.

Among the group of creatures in the river, Li Xiaoan and his big black dog stood out.

The exquisite river god also noticed it, her gaze shifting slightly, clear and pure.

Old Ao promptly relayed her message, and she naturally learned of his identity.

However, seeing Li Xiaoan's radiant smile, he couldn't help but smile gently in return:

"Friend from Ansan, you seem... even happier than the creatures of my river?"

Li Xiaoan smiled, gazing into those eyes, purer than glass, her voice tinged with emotion:

"Because of your gaze, and my Lord Li Yuan..."

"They share the same gentleness."

Beside him, the excited old man was stunned for a moment.

It seems that it said something similar to Li Yuan back then.
