Chapter 594 Ascending the Mountain
“This is a cultivation Holy Land.” ng Hu, who had stepped onto the black rock, was sowhat shocked.
“Yes.” Fu Sui and Black Wind had also stepped past the mountains’ boundary.
Fu Sui smiled and said, “This mountain is a cultivation Holy Land. Furthermore, the deeper we go, the greater the benefits to our cultivation.” ng Chuan was shocked. “The benefits can be even greater?”
“Fu Sui and I have been here once. It’s naturally true,” said Black Wind with a smile. This mountain is really special. ng Chuan sighed even more. There are all kinds of wonders in the outer realm. Ancestral Master Archean Eon said that there are no benefits without reason. This mountain definitely has a reason for its uniqueness. ng Chuan felt fear when he looked at the distant black mountain. He was naturally wary of it.
This mountain is sowhat strange. ng Hu sensed his current state as his inspiration surged. He then looked at Fu Sui, Black Wind, and ng Chuan. He thought to himself, Everything in the River of Spaceti follows a natural cycle. Only by consuming spirit fruits and treasures can one gain the effects of an epiphany for a few hours. In this black mountain, a Fifth Tribulation Eminence is in a constant state of near-epiphany. Perhaps, we have already paid the price unknowingly? Or perhaps, this mountain is baiting us?
ng Hu was very cautious. His howorld was the Heavenly Dream Realm, a high-leveled world. The ancestor produced by his howorld was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Having passed the test and beco a Heavenly Dream Divine General. His status in the Heavenly Dream Realm was considered very high. He had read many secret records.
So places in the outer realm were even more magical than the ruin they were in.
To easily induce a constant state of near-epiphany for a large number of Fifth Tribulation Eminences without paying any price? It was impossible!
There had to be a price! Either the price ca from themselves, or the mountain’s creator had paid the price.
If the creator of the mountain had paid the price, they would definitely have a motive.
“The optimal situation is that the creator of this mountain created this cultivation Holy Land for juniors. After the creator died, the mountain was still barely maintained. We got lucky by coming here.” ng Hu quickly rejected this hypothesis. “However, the possibility is too low. Furthermore, I can sense how strange this black mountain is from afar. There are many forbidden creatures in the ruin world. The forbidden creatures are also all crazy...”
Forbidden creatures could devour all life. They were the common enemy of all life. However, such evil and sinful creatures had all gone crazy?
“This definitely isn’t a safe cultivation Holy Land. There must be a reason for the strange black mountain.” ng Hu was extrely cautious.
ng Hu was the most cautious of the four people present. ng Chuan was equally cautious. On the contrary, Fu Sui and Old Fiend Black Wind, who had both stepped onto the black mountain for the second ti, beca even more zealous because of the benefits they obtained.
“Everyone, it’s best you be careful,” said ng Hu. “This black mountain has given us great benefits. Perhaps there will be a huge calamity.”
“Haha, opportunity and risk co in pairs,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “Adventuring in ruins requires one to experience all sorts of dangers and grasp the opportunities within. This black mountain is the greatest opportunity I’ve encountered in all these years. At most, this true body will die in battle. I can’t give up on this opportunity.” “Sotis, the price one has to pay isn’t just one true body,” said ng Hu faintly.
Fu Sui and Black Wind’s hearts stirred.
“Brother ng Hu, did you manage to detect sothing?” asked Black Wind.
“I don’t know.” ng Hu shook his head gently. “I only know that the greater the benefits that co knocking, the more careful you should be.”
ng Chuan nodded. “We have to be careful.”
“Yes, we also understand. Should we head to the place where Black Wind and I died in battle next?” said Fu Sui.
“Alright.” ng Chuan and ng Hu nodded. After all, Fu Sui and Black Wind had to retrieve their lost treasures first. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The four of them quickly moved. ng Chuan sent three Essence Soul avatars to continue scouting the area. “Be careful. There are more forbidden creatures on this black mountain,” reminded Fu Sui. “Black Wind and I died at the hands of a forbidden creature.”
“Yes.” ng Chuan and ng Hu nodded. After experiencing the attacks of forbidden creatures on land, they didn’t dare underestimate them.
As they traveled
“Why didn’t we encounter any forbidden creatures?” Fu Sui looked at ng Chuan. “Did Brother Eastcalm’s Essence Soul avatars intercept them ahead of ti?”
ng Chuan shook his head. “No. My three Essence Soul avatars haven’t discovered any forbidden creatures.”
Fu Sui frowned slightly and beca more cautious. “It’s strange. There are many more forbidden creatures on the black mountain. We should have encountered five or six forbidden creatures having traveled so far.”
The journey was very strange.
After entering the black mountain range, ng Chuan and company didn’t encounter any forbidden creatures, even when they reached Fu Sui and Black Wind’s remains.
“How strange.”
“Not a single forbidden creature.”
“My Essence Soul avatars didn’t bump into anything either.” Fu Sui and Black Wind picked up the treasures they left behind, but they remained puzzled.
It wasn’t strange that they could retrieve their treasures. The forbidden creatures in the ruin world had gone mad. They only knew how to kill, so they didn’t deliberately horde cultivators’ treasures. Fu Sui had died three tis in this ruin before, and he always collected his treasures afterward.
After finding the treasures, ng Chuan and company carefully ventured deeper into the mountain.
Huh? ng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar saw so weapons and items scattered in the mountain forest. Imdiately, his Essence Soul World enveloped the area, and the weapons and treasures flew up.
These should have been left behind by other cultivators after they died. ng Chuan put away the items and carefully inspected them. He flipped his hand and took out a void bracelet. This void bracelet’s mysterious patterns are incomplete. The void inside it has completely shattered. The void bracelet must be very, very old.
The damage to the void bracelet was due to natural wear and tear caused by extended periods of ti going by.
In the outer realm, very few things could exist for eternity. For example, Primordial Stones were eternal existences.
As for the vast majority of items, they would slowly be damaged over ti. For example, spirit fruits, wine, and so on had shorter expiry dates. If a Tribulation treasure was preserved well, it could be preserved for a longer period of ti. However, without cultivators nurturing it, even a Seventh Tribulation treasure would eventually decay. So of the items have decayed and beco damaged. So are still intact. ng Chuan inspected them. They are worth about 8,000 cubes. They should be left behind by a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.
This black mountain has a long history. Many cultivators have co here before. However, I haven’t found any historical records of this place in the outside world. ng Chuan was puzzled. Huh? ng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar suddenly felt its heart tighten. This was because a three-headed humanoid creature had flown past from afar. The three-headed humanoid creature had also discovered ng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar. It only gave ng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar a glance before flying into the distance.
What? It didn’t attack despite seeing ? ng Chuan was shocked.
“What did you say? Your Essence Soul avatar and a forbidden creature discovered each other, but that forbidden creature didn’t attack you. It left instead?” Fu Sui and Black Wind found it unbelievable.
ng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”
“Impossible. I’ve investigated this ruin world three tis. All the forbidden creatures have gone crazy. They have no rationality.” Fu Sui shook his head. “Once they discover us, they will imdiately attack.” “Back when we entered the black mountain, we were pursued by many forbidden creatures. This ti, no forbidden creatures ca to pursue us,” said Black Wind. “Could it be that sothing has changed in this black mountain?”
Although ng Chuan, Fu Sui, Black Wind, and ng Hu were puzzled, they could only be careful. They wouldn’t give up easily. The deeper they went, the greater the benefits to their cultivation. They could not stop.
The four of them advanced.
Along the way, an enormous head flew past them. It could clearly see ng Chuan and company, but it continued flying into the distance.
“The forbidden creature my Essence Soul avatar discovered and that forbidden creature are heading in the sa direction,” said ng Chuan.
Fu Sui’s eyes lit up. “Let’s chase after it and take a look.”
Imdiately, the four of them silently tailed the giant head.
The head was about 1,000 feet wide. It was completely carved out of gray rock. The head constantly flew in a certain direction. ng Chuan and company followed silently as they headed deeper into the mountain.
The mountains were vast.
Along the way, ng Chuan and company discovered over ten forbidden creatures. So were fast, while others were slow. However, they all flew in the sa direction.
“They are all heading in the sa direction.”
“There must be a reason why so many forbidden creatures have appeared in this ruin world.” ng Chuan and company beca even more cautious and expectant. The greater the secret, the greater the possibility of reaping great benefits.
On the third day after entering the black mountain, they arrived at the depths of the mountain.
At that mont, ng Chuan had already picked up seven treasures using his three scouting Essence Soul avatars. They had a total value of about 30,000 cubes. They were probably left behind by Fifth Tribulation Eminences.
Huh?
ng Chuan and company followed the head-like forbidden creature and finally arrived at the tallest mountain peak on the black mountain. The black mountain was over 50,000 kiloters tall. It spanned more than 50,000 kiloters. There were many mountain peaks on the mountain, but the most eye-catching one was the tallest peak in the middle.
Three roads paved with crystal jade appeared at the tallest mountain peak’s entrance. They extended deep into the mountain.
“Three paths?” ng Chuan and company stopped.
The head-like forbidden creature didn’t fly towards the three paths. Instead, it flew towards the highest mountain peak that was closest to it in a daze.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
ng Chuan and company stared into the distance. The highest peak was extrely majestic. They could see forbidden creatures flying up in a daze, but none of them took the three paths. “What should we do next?” asked Fu Sui. “Should we follow the three paths, or should we go up the mountain like the forbidden creatures without touching the three paths?”
