Chapter 359 Trata
Chapter 359 Trata
All the Divine Soul Realm cultivators tried to see what cultivation she possessed, but they simply couldn't see anything at all! Some of the stronger ones then started to approach the girl.
"Hello! Might I ask who you are?"
The girl looked puzzled at those cultivators and demon beasts. She then pointed down and said.
"Mountain."
The guy's mouth twitched a little when he heard that, though.
'Do you think we are blind?! We all saw you transforming, you know?'
Of course, he didn't say it aloud.
"I see... do you have a name?"
The girl seemed to ponder a bit and then said.
"I don't have a name."
Everyone noticed that this girl wasn't the type who talked much.
In fact, this girl only knew how to talk because of the time she spent observing everyone who lived on her. But she never had the chance to talk before, so she didn't know what to say.
"Cough, cough. Could you tell us then why you never said anything? You know, all our Sects, Clans, and others were residing here before. But now that the Mountain is gone, everything disappeared."
The girl narrowed her eyes and said.
"The Mountain was my body, and I never said you could build anything on it. So why should I care?"
The guys didn't know how to answer that. The fact was that no one knew that the Mountain was alive to start with. Of course, now they all understood why so much Spiritual Energy gathered here. It was just that this Mountain was cultivating! Still, how come she could attract so much Spiritual Energy?
There was a reason for that. This girl had the Blackhole Divine Soul... and was also the Blackhole Heavenly Fragment Owner! That was also the reason why a Mountain like her was able to reach the Soul Forging Realm in just 20 years. Of course, the cultivators and demon beast of a planet of this level wouldn't know what that meant. Unanimated objects gaining sentience isn't unheard of. Still, they are extremely rare, let alone an entire Mountain!
Usually, those guys would not be so amicable with someone. After all, all their powers have been relying on that Mountain for years. But the fact is that they can't see her cultivation, so they are afraid that she is a lot stronger than any of them.
"In that case, what do you intend to do now?"
The girl went silent once again.
The only reason she took this long to change into her human form was that she didn't have a high enough Realm. A week ago, she finally broke through into the Soul Forging Realm, which was the necessary cultivation for her to transform. Still, she didn't know exactly how to do that, so she took several days of observation to understand it. That's why she took a whole week to transform for the first time.
But now there is a problem. As a mountain, she almost had never had any desires of her own. Practically all she ever thought about was cultivation, laws, and nothing more. She couldn't be blamed, though. She simply couldn't move. In fact, she couldn't do anything other than watch life outside.
Different from other races, she couldn't control Spiritual Energy until now. She also didn't have a Divine Sense either. The way she looked at the outside world was basically the same as Krune and the other wisps. The Mountain itself was her eyes.
She felt empty, it was not like she wanted to do something. Maybe it was because of her life as a Mountain, but she didn't feel like she had an objective in life.
In the end, she could only answer.
"I... don't know."
Everyone looked at each other until someone finally asked.
"What is your cultivation realm at the moment?"
Immediately, everyone's attention was picked. That was one of the most important questions at the moment. Depending on the answer, some of them might even force her to go back to her Mountain Form and stay like that forever.
The girl pondered a bit and then said.
"I only know the realms up to Divine Soul Realm. But I believe I have already entered the next. Or at least, that is what I found after watching you all during all these years."
That was the truth. She only saw Divine Soul Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts. This planet didn't have a single Soul Forging Realm, so she didn't know how the Realm she was in at the moment was called.
Still, that wasn't the same for the Divine Soul Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts. Their planet might not have a single Soul Forging Realm, but they at least know how the next Realm was called.
"That means that you are at the Soul Forging Realm."
The girl nodded and made sure to remember that world. She then thought about something and started to look around her body. So far, she had been floating in the air subconsciously. She then decided to land to try out this new body of hers.
Sure enough, the moment she tried to stand by herself, she fell. Demon beasts that didn't have legs by the time they first transform would always have problems controlling that new body of theirs. The cultivators found that scene quite comic. A naked girl was trying to learn how to walk. That wasn't something they see every day.
As for the demon beasts, especially the ones that don't have legs in their true forms could totally understand what she was going true.
While the Mountain Girl tried to adapt to her new form, the leaders of each power gathered to discuss this situation.
"What should we do? If she doesn't go back to her mountain form, we will have no place to cultivate anymore."
"What you want to do then? She is in the Soul Forging Realm! Is anyone here confident in forcing her to change back and stay like that?"
"We can try a sweet talk. After all, she is just a naive girl."
"Naive? Hahahahaha! Did you forget what she said? The Mountain Girl told us that she had been observing everyone who lived on her during years! This Mountain started to gather Spiritual Energy around 20 years ago. If she had been watching us all during all this time, do you think she would still be naive? In fact, she might have one of the most wretched minds between us all!"
The leaders immediately narrowed their eyes after that last comment. If that was true, then trying to fool her would only cause a tragedy for them.
"Still, we can't simply give up. What if we join forces to suppress her?"
One of the guys immediately shook his head.
"Let alone the fact that we don't know if we would be her match. Even if we are, just how many sacrifices would be necessary? Let's assume that we will win, why would she simply transform back into a mountain? She might not beat us because of numbers, but can we stop her from fleeing? I doubt so!"
The oldest cultivator in that group, someone called Butian, then sighed and said.
"All we can do is ask her sincerely and hope that we have something which would convince her doing so."
While they were discussing, the girl noticed something different. She could now spread her Divine Sense! Before gaining her human form, the Mountain Girl had never been able to do so. She heard about Divine Sense so many times and had an idea about how it worked, though. But now, she was finally successful in doing that!
Her Divine Sense instantly covered an area of over 200km when suddenly, she noticed someone just 20 or so km away.
It was a demon beast, or to be more precise, an Earth Beaver. Earth Beavers aren't anything rare. These types of beavers are different from common ones. They don't like to leave close to rivers, for example. In fact, they are quite common in the Westil Planet. Usually, they wouldn't reach the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, so most of them didn't have intelligence. Still, due to their numbers, a few of them would get to that point. It might be because they stumbled on some Spiritual Herbs or just because they found a Spiritual Vein. But they sure existed.
This Earth Beaver just so happens to be one of them. Earth Beavers had just half the size of a human without their human forms, so it wasn't inconvenient for them to stay in their true forms. He had been accepted in one of the Sects that oversee the Mountain due to his Earth Element Control. Every day, he would go around the Mountain to complete his chores.
The Mountain Girl had been observing this Earth Beaver for several years already. What caught her attention was the fact that the Beaver always treated the Mountain with respect. He never tried to build something unless ordered and spend most of its time cultivating on a bolder at the side of the Mountain.
With time, the Beaver started to talk with the Mountain itself, even though it knew that it would never reply to his words. It could be said that talking with the Mountain was just a way of talking to himself and to pass the time. Every time the Beaver stopped cultivation, he would also thank the Mountain for the Spiritual Energy. But what he didn't know is that the Mountain Girl had always been hearing him. Even though she really couldn't answer.
But today, his Mountain had suddenly disappeared! He then heard a Divine Sense message from one of the higher-ups to stay far away from the center. So he was now waiting in this place with other disciples of the same sect.
When the girl noticed the Earth Beaver, she showed everyone the first smile of her 20 years of life.
The next second, the girl disappeared from the spot she was in, which alarmed everyone! The Divine Soul Realm cultivators and demon beasts immediately spread their Divine Senses and soon found where she went. But they didn't feel relieved by that at all. That is because after they saw her movement speed, they concluded that it would be impossible for them to be a match for her, even with their numbers.
What the Mountain Girl used was not a simple movement technique, but an earth movement one! Simply put, she could move a lot faster underground than above it. The reason for that was quite simply, that is because she had already comprehended 3 of the 5 Earth Sub-laws to completion!
The Earth Beaver was standing and looking in the direction from which the Mountain disappeared when suddenly, a naked girl appeared right in front of him! Before he could even react, that same naked girl jumped at him and gave a big hug!
This could be said one of the very few things she ever wanted to do. She has heard the Earth Beaver thanking her for the Spiritual Energy thousands of times, and he was the only one who ever bothered doing so! So in her mind, she always wanted to tell him back.
"Trata, you are welcome!"
