Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 458 - 323: Queen Mother of the West!

"Oh, what's this?"

As Sun Yan passed by a stall in the market, he was suddenly drawn to an item on display.

It was a notebook, identical in style to the Tomb Guardian's.

Sun Yan quickly reached out to pick it up and flipped through it, only to find it completely blank.

"It's a notebook of a deceased Tomb Guardian," Zhou Mangmang said curiously as he walked up behind Sun Yan.

"After the Tomb Guardians of the Grand Sacrificial Society die, their notebooks are emptied. Only after a new successor is found will they become effective again. With this notebook, you can cultivate another Tomb Guardian."

Sun Yan stroked the cover of the notebook, nodding thoughtfully: "I see."

He couldn't help but recall his grandfather in his mind.

So far, although Sun Yan had become an Immortal, he still hadn't uncovered the reason behind his grandfather's sudden death.

With his limited knowledge back then, he now suspected it might have been related to other Tomb Guardians inextricably.

His grandfather's mysterious death very likely resulted from the actions of other Tomb Guardians.

"Every year, the Grand Sacrificial Society loses many Tomb Guardians, so reclaiming their notebooks to recruit more Tomb Guardians has become necessary. We should buy this notebook," suggested Lin Wan.

"Alright," Sun Yan nodded and started negotiating with the stall owner.

While they were leisurely shopping, in the depths of the Kunlun Ruins.

Baofu was running wildly on the ground and soon arrived at the base of a hill.

When he looked up, he saw a giant black shadow lying atop the hill.

The sun and moon's reflections flowed atop its head, forming a starry scene across the sky, spectacularly arranged.

It resembled a human, with a long leopard tail trailing behind, tiger-like sharp teeth in its mouth, chaotic hair adorned with various jeweled hairpins, seemingly asleep with its eyes closed.

All around it, colorful vapors swirled, and its breath caused winds to blow and thunder to sound, resonating throughout heaven and earth.

Three green birds nested beside the hill, their cold eyes staring at the insignificant Baofu.

Frightened, Baofu prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over, and hastily said: "Queen Mother of the West, three people have come from outside the Kunlun Ruins, the leader claims to be a disciple of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, wanting to visit you."

Buzz!

The giant creature lying on the hill suddenly opened its eyes, which were deep as the sea, staring at Baofu:

"Not just one Immortal family member, but two."

"Two Immortals?" Baofu was surprised, "In this era, two Immortals could still emerge; could it be that the end era is retreating?"

"Certainly not; observing the Celestial Court shows signs of resurrection. Perhaps those folks have gathered the pieces of the Celestial Court, intending to reforge it in this End of Dharma Era. Subsequently, the God Sealing List will evidently restart, selecting a new batch of gods to stabilize the world order once again.

Comparatively, the absence of the Celestial Court in guarding the Creation Bell and Cauldron might actually be a good thing; nobody will then target the bell and cauldron, just that the world might plunge into chaos again."

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head, a hint of worry in her gaze.

The more the Creation Bell and Cauldron are discovered, the greater the impact on the seals placed by the Immortals of yore.

If the seals are broken, the world will face another catastrophic disaster.

This time, with no Immortals around, the Longevity Species would return unobstructed.

"What should we do then? Queen Mother, you must hold this place and can't leave easily. Kunlun Ruins can't interfere with the changes happening to the Celestial Court. If an accident occurs with the seal, all the efforts over these years would be wasted," Baofu's face showed immediate concern.

"No need to worry. Everything changes according to its own rules. If destruction is destined, opposing the Heavenly Dao would bring no benefit. Invite those two Immortals here so that I can have a word with them."

The Queen Mother of the West closed her eyes and said calmly.

A trace of ancient and wild aura leaked from her, full of an unfathomable antiquity, as if she had seen the changes of time.

After Baofu departed, one of the three green birds suddenly opened its mouth and spoke: "Holy Mother, with you overseeing the seal here, even if most of the Creation Bell and Cauldron have issues, it won't easily affect the seal. But all these years, it's been led by the Celestial Court outside, quite unjust to Kunlun Ruins. It might be better if we take this opportunity to switch from defense to offense and replace the Celestial Court's ruling over the Human World."

"Holy Mother, you have guarded this place for many years for the stability of the Human World. The people have long forgotten your existence. Since the Celestial Court can be rebuilt, it seems a fitting occasion."

"The Holy Mother is not inferior to the Celestial Court; why let the myths spread in the Human World only speak of the Celestial Court?"

The three green birds chattered enthusiastically one after another.

After listening for a while, the Queen Mother of the West slowly shook her head: "Noisy, the Celestial Court once sacrificed more than Kunlun, which led to today's situation where the Celestial Court has dispersed and the Kunlun Clan remains intact. Otherwise, how would you have lived to today? To now replace the Celestial Court, how shameful that would be. Could Kunlun do such a thing?"

Being questioned by the Queen Mother, the three green birds fell instantly silent.

"Moreover, whether or not the Celestial Court should be replaced is irrelevant now. The Human World has already embarked on a path where gods and immortals are no longer needed, and no longer believe in those high above. If a new group of gods and immortals were to emerge now and break the mortals' perception, what do you think the outcome would be? At that time, mortals and gods would surely have to battle, only bringing unnecessary troubles to ourselves."

The Queen Mother of the West slightly opened one eye, glancing at the three green birds: "Keep those thoughts to yourselves and focus on cultivating in Kunlun Ruins."

"Yes," given the Queen Mother's words, the three green birds could only obediently agree.

——

With Baofu leading the way, Sun Yan and the others soon followed him to the Kunlun Hill.

Upon seeing the Queen Mother of the West lying atop the hill, all three couldn't help but feel profoundly shocked within.

The Queen Mother of the West!

The true and living Queen Mother of the West!

The deity from ancient myths!

"You three have journeyed far, and in these End of Dharma Era times, for new Immortals to emerge is indeed a good thing for the Human World,"

The Queen Mother of the West looked down at Sun Yan and his companions and spoke calmly.

Though she appeared in the likeness of an Evil God, her words carried an inherent great divine power, naturally invoking reverence and raising a sense of respect in their hearts.

Even Sun Yan, now an Immortal, couldn't help but admire and say: "Greetings, Queen Mother of the West."

"There is no need to be so formal; guests are guests,"

The Queen Mother of the West focused her gaze on Zhou Mangmang, speaking kindly: "I sense the aura of the God Sealing List on you; you must be the newly promoted immortal on the God Sealing List."

"Queen Mother of the West, you have keen eyes; I am the new incumbent of the position of Nine Heavens Responding Origin Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Celestial Venerable," Zhou Mangmang quickly nodded.

"The appearance of new Immortals in the Human World is indeed beneficial. Watching the advancement of the Human World from Kunlun over the years, it has grown lively, far more interesting compared to the past." The Queen Mother of the West gave a faint smile.

As an ancient deity, even a slight smile from the Queen Mother of the West infused the area around Kunlun Hill with vibrant spring, a revival of life, lush green grasses.

The hills were filled with blooming flora, stirring a sense of awe in people's hearts.

Truly an ancient deity, even by merely speaking, such power could be manifested.

Even for Sun Yan, now an Immortal, expending all of his Incense Ash Magical Power could not achieve such a level.

This testified to the unfathomable extent of the Queen Mother of the West's Divine Power.

"What brings all of you to Kunlun Ruins on this occasion?" The Queen Mother of the West looked down at Sun Yan and his companions, asking.
