Chapter 737: Stressed by Mountain of Myriad Books
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
True Monarch Eternal Fire was dumbstruck. He had absolutely no idea that their ‘Mountain of Myriad Books’ could grow out legs and arms, and even stand upside down!
After hearing True Monarch Eternal Fire’s surprised voice, somewhat confused, Venerable White asked, “Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire, is it possible that you didn’t know that the Mountain of Myriad Books was a living creature?”
True Monarch Eternal Fire forced a smile, and said, “If I’d known, I would have reminded you about this matter, Fellow Daoist White.”
“That’s true,” Venerable White said with a nod. “Anyway, I think you should quickly come over. Your ‘Mountain of Myriad Books’ seems rather depressed at this time, and it might need your support. In addition, a lot of landslides took place on its body, and it lost a few patches. It will probably need a good fixing.”
At this time, not only the mood of the Mountain of Myriad Books was low, but its body was also continuously s.h.i.+vering.
The trauma it had suffered just now was simply too big. From today onwards, it felt that it wouldn’t think or try to stand upside down ever again.
Beyond that, even its two arms were now broken… would it be even possible to fix them?
“I’ll immediately head over.” True Monarch Eternal Fire hung up the call and quickly headed toward the Mountain of Myriad Books.

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator looked at the Mountain of Myriad Books, now softly lying on the ground and groaning. “Now then, how are we supposed to shoot the following scenes?” The Mountain of Myriad Books had now injuries all over its body. They had already shot half of the scenes… was it possible that they would have to look for another mountain to shoot the remaining ones?
Venerable White replied, “Perhaps we can try to find a way to fix it up? Or we can focus the camera on a small area, without taking broad scenes. For example, the place behind the Mountain of Myriad Books didn’t suffer too much damage, and we can finish shooting the remaining scenes there.”
“We can do things this way too,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said.
The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group found a good place where they could put the unconscious members of Jacob’s Production Team. The cameras, stage props, and other equipment were also properly stored away.
Right at this time, Song Shuhang placed Tubo on the ground and pondered for a moment, finally heading toward the Mountain of Myriad Books.
Just as he was approaching the Mountain of Myriad Books, the mountain struggled a bit, and said in a grave tone, “Little guy, do you need something from me?”
Song Shuhang pondered for a short while, and said, “I wanted to ask you a question.”
“What type of question? Uncle’s mood isn’t too good at the moment, and I might not reply to your question,” the Mountain of Myriad Books said.
Song Shuhang laughed, and asked, “Did you use to frequently stand upside down in the past? ‘Overturn the Mountain of Myriad Books…’ does this sentence refer to you while you are standing upside down?”
“Ahahaha, that’s a pretty good question! Back in the days, I was an expert at standing upside down. Overturn the Mountain of Myriad Books… this name actually sounds quite good! From now on, call me Uncle Overturned Mountain of Books!” The Mountain of Myriad Books roared with laughter.
“…” Song Shuhang continued, “In that case, do you know where the ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’ is located?”
Since the Mountain of Myriad Books was a sentient being, he could ask it about the ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’ directly.
The Mountain of Myriad Books recalled for a short while, and then replied, “Still Pond of Wisdom? I’ve never heard of such a place.”
Song Shuhang sighed. This strange Mountain of Myriad Books was truly unreliable! He was too naive to hope of obtaining the correct answer from its mouth.
“Fellow Daoist Shuhang, why are you looking for this pond?” Fairy Lychee asked out of curiosity.
Song Shuhang replied, “I’ve heard the sentence ‘Overturn the Mountain of Myriad Books, the Still Pond of Wisdom…’ from a certain senior some time ago. As for what the ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’ is or what is inside it, I have no idea. However, it should be something good, I guess? Or perhaps the water of the pond has some magical effects?”
“Is it a buried treasure?” Venerable White’s eyes immediately lit up.
“I have no idea.” Song Shuhang himself wasn’t sure. He was unable to guess anything from that cut-off sentence of the l.u.s.trous scholar.
However, the sentence ‘Overturn the Mountain of Myriad Books’ should be referring to the overturned ‘Mountain of Myriad Books’, right?
Young Master Phoenix Slayer brought over that barrel of wine with the slimy Doudou inside and pushed his gla.s.ses up, trying to guess. “The sentence ‘Overturn the Mountain of Myriad Books’ is obviously referring to the Mountain of Myriad Books while its standing upside down. Such being the case, is it possible that the Still Pond of Wisdom is something that will appear once the Mountain of Myriad Books is properly standing upside down?”
“It makes sense.” Venerable White turned his head around and looked at the Mountain of Myriad Books, saying, “Mountain of Myriad Books, did anything strange happen whenever you stood upside down in the past?”
“Call me Uncle Overturned Mountain of Books~ Anyway, I’ve stood upside down several times in the past, but nothing out of the ordinary happened,” the Mountain of Myriad Books replied.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “Given its disposition, even if something important had happened at the time, this Mountain of Myriad Books probably neglected it.”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer continued to push his gla.s.ses up, with rays of wisdom refracting in all directions. “Such being the case, I think everything will become clear once we manage to turn the mountain upside down.”
Venerable White agreed, “It seems reasonable.”
After saying this much, he turned his head toward the Mountain of Myriad Books, and said, “Mountain of Myriad Books, can you try to stand upside down one more time?”
“Uncle now hates standing upside down.” The Mountain of Myriad Books refused, and said, “In addition, even my arms are now broken, so how am I supposed to stand upside down?”
“What it said makes sense. Without arms, it has no way of standing upside down.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer laughed, and said, “However… back then, when I used to hunt, I really liked to play with my prey before killing it by making it a.s.sume all kinds of postures with my paws. If they couldn’t a.s.sume those postures on their own, I would just help them out with my paws. Therefore… since the Mountain of Myriad Books can’t stand upside down on its own, let’s simply give it a hand to stand upside down!”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator gasped with admiration, and said, “What Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer said is reasonable.”
Although the body of the Mountain of Myriad Books was slightly big, the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group shouldn’t have too many problems to make it stand upside down if they were to join their forces!
Young Master Phoenix Slayer continued, “If we want to make it stand upside down, it’s better if we use the floating, lightening, and other wind-type magical techniques on its body to decrease its weight. It’s a pity that Fairy Firefly isn’t here. Otherwise, she could have just used her magical technique to easily send the Mountain of Myriad Books flying.”
“We can use the lever principle to lift it up with less effort,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said.
Venerable White waved his hand, and said, “No need to complicate things this much. If Fellow Daoist Tyrant Flood Dragon, Fellow Daoist Ancient Lake Temple, and Fellow Daoist Fallout give me a hand, we can lift it up directly!”
“Good!”
“No problem!”
“I’ll follow Senior White’s instructions!”
The three True Monarchs replied so.
