The Mountain Spirit Listens

As a mountain god, tigers are your subjects, and so are humans. If tigers swear they'll never eat people again, are you happy? Have humans sworn to never hunt again? Does that mean everyone eats grass? Does that mean grass isn't a subject of the mountain god? If the mountain god only persuades beasts not to eat people, then the "mountain god" is just a "human god," so why should the mountain spirits respect you? Your view of being a mountain god is far too narrow.

The part where the protagonist encounters the scholar-mortal is filled with endless rambling. It's obvious the protagonist isn't an ordinary person, yet he doesn't seem interested in engaging with him. As one commenter said, why not just turn back into a statue or fly away? While it's clear this is likely to set up future plot developments, the overall tone becomes mediocre and uninteresting.

Shennong has arrived: This book is not a fantasy novel; if you're looking for gods, don't read it. The protagonist starts as a statue, but after about ten chapters, he transforms into a human and gains mobility, then begins the traditional cultivation path. A complaint: The protagonist, as a deity, is portrayed as a feminized young boy, not a majestic middle-aged man. This is a bit hard for an old person like me to accept; I guess he'll always be a boy.

New books are hard to write, so please vote for them if you have the chance. If you like this book, even if you're just waiting to read it, please click on the latest chapter. Following the book will affect its recommendations, so please help! The author will work hard to write more. 😡

I love this kind of down-to-earth development; it's infinitely better than those mindless stories where the protagonist is invincible and all the big shots fawn over them. Keep it up, author!

As the mountain god of Taihang Mountain, wielding the Five Elements Seal, yet he still needs his own cultivated power to use his divine authority? His domain was initially only a small portion, requiring cultivation to expand? Is this still the mountain god of Taihang Mountain? Shouldn't his power derive from the Taihang Mountain range itself, or from the divine talisman?

I couldn't stand it anymore. Demons have intelligence and can refrain from indiscriminate killing. But if they're competing with cultivators for opportunities or cultivation, killing or killing other races is fine. But you're making it a story of never eating humans?

The protagonist shouldn't actually have left the mountain. The power of the Taihang Mountains is like his protective shield; once he's down there, he's surrounded by rare and precious treasures. Besides, what's the point of the title if he's not in the mountains? Would he still be called a "Mountain Spirit"? Furthermore, living in the mountains would prevent the cast of characters from becoming too mixed, keep the plot from getting chaotic, and enhance the novel's ethereal atmosphere.

The Golden Snake went out to catch a rabbit, but the protagonist gave up after a day, saying that their fate had run its course. After all, the other party had helped him find Geng Metal, and now he was just abandoning his half-disciple. How cold-hearted people are!

I have to complain about the beginning. The protagonist talks about some great demon refining horizontal bones, gods, heavenly laws, and seems to know a lot. I'm really puzzled as to how the protagonist knows all this. Then a scholar comes to the dilapidated temple, and the protagonist wants to learn about the world through him. I'm full of question marks. What kind of writing is this? Is the protagonist talking to himself or is he a wise protagonist?
