After a day's time, Wang Zhan and the others finally reached the foot of the Summit of Thousand Peaks.

With a vigilant look on his face, Han Junxiong moved to Wang Zhan's side, then pointed to the towering, fog-covered mountain peak in the distance, saying, "This is the Summit of Thousand Peaks."

Wang Zhan gave a faint nod, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Simply standing at the foot of the Summit of Thousand Peaks, he could already feel the powerful intimidation here. Even he did not dare to venture into it recklessly.

Wang Zhan Xu Xu raised his hand, only to see the Deep Fire Blade appear in his palm.

The next second, Wang Zhan directly lifted the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and immediately swung it towards the white mist-like level barrier of the light screen in front of him.

But what Wang Zhan had not expected was that ripples appeared on the white mist-like level barrier in front of him, yet his attack didn't cause the slightest damage to the misty level barrier.

The Fire Dragon in the sky roared repeatedly before suddenly disappearing from everyone's sight.

After quickly retreating a few steps, Wang Zhan's face grew most serious. He clenched the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, squinting at the level barrier in front of him, and said, "It seems this place is not as simple as you said. There might be strong winds inside, but it is extremely difficult to break through this level barrier. I don't think many people can do it."

Everyone kept silent after exchanging glances. After all, it had been a long time since they had come to the foot of the Summit of Thousand Peaks. They all were aware that this place might be inhabited by formidable demonic beasts or other entities, but those were existences beyond their reach, so naturally, they would not waste time unnecessarily.

Han Junxiong walked over to Wang Zhan and frowned. "In that case, we shouldn't take risks. We should be able to find a more secluded place nearby. We don't necessarily have to bury him at the Summit of Thousand Peaks, right?"

Wang Zhan Xu Xu turned his head. After glaring at Han Junxiong, he said in a deep voice, "I'm not very familiar with anything here. You initially told me that this place was secluded. After coming here, I found that it indeed meets Hu Lao's requirements. So why should we look for other places?"

Where else on the Star War Battlefield could they find a peaceful land?

Memories of the villagers of Tianxiong City suddenly flashed in Wang Zhan's mind. They were merely a group of powerless people, but the demonic beasts showed no mercy. Not only did they burn the village, but they also killed all the villagers. He couldn't imagine the consequences if he hadn't appeared.

Those beside him slightly narrowed their eyes, their faces also becoming most ugly. After all, daring to enter the Summit of Thousand Peaks was also somewhat difficult for them.

Step by step, Wang Zhan approached the white level barrier. Then he lifted the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and used all his strength to slash fiercely at it.

With a burst of huge energy rippling out, Han Junxiong and the others were directly blasted away. Wang Zhan also retreated several steps. If it were not for the Deep Fire Blade supporting him, he would be as disheveled as Han Junxiong and the others.

Despite this, Wang Zhan was still severely injured by the backlash. He spat out a mouthful of blood while clutching his chest, then stared at the light screen in front of him, frowning as he said, "Damn! Can a mere level barrier stop my progress?"

While speaking, Wang Zhan glanced at everyone behind him, then solemnly said, "All of you, stand farther away. I refuse to believe I can't break through this level barrier."

Wang Zhan immediately lifted the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, then again used all his strength to attack the level barrier in front of him. "Fatal One Slash!"

Suddenly, a huge blade light appeared before everyone. The blade light fiercely slashed the barrier in front of them, and they could even feel the ground violently trembling. This was enough to show how terrifying the power of this slash was.

With Wang Zhan at the center, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters. Then, a roar resounded, and the barrier before them was directly shattered.

Wang Zhan was also flung back. After retreating dozens of meters, he fell heavily to the ground, his face terrifyingly pale.

Everyone hurriedly surrounded Wang Zhan and began to talk all at once.

"Mr. Wang, how are you feeling?"

"I didn't expect you to actually break the barrier!"

"In that case, we can rest here for some time to recuperate, and then move forward."

Han Junxiong also nodded heavily. He could see that although Wang Zhan had shattered the level barrier in front of him, he had also consumed most of his energy, and naturally, he was a little worried.

Everyone's hopes were pinned on Wang Zhan, and they also desperately wanted to know what lay within the Summit of Thousand Peaks.

However, they dared not approach it easily. So, without Wang Zhan, they naturally couldn't move a single step.

Wang Zhan clutched his chest, then took out several elixirs from his bosom and swallowed them, including the Great Restoration Pill that had just been refined. After taking the elixirs, Wang Zhan's complexion mostly recovered, and his cultivation also improved to a certain degree.

After retrieving the Deep Fire Blade from nearby, Wang Zhan glanced at the people behind him, then casually said, "You have two choices before you. You can stay here and wait quietly for me to come out, or you can come with me. But I don't need to tell you about the dangers inside."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Clearly, nobody was planning to stay behind.

From the crowd, Han Junxiong stepped forward with his arms crossed, a faint smile on his face. He approached Wang Zhan and said with a grin, "When people like us chose to stay by your side, we naturally weren't worried about any danger. So, Brother Wang, you don't need to have so many concerns. Let's head directly into this Summit of Thousand Peaks."

Wang Zhan smiled and nodded, then took the lead in walking into the Summit of Thousand Peaks.

It had to be said, the ambiance here was indeed eerie. The moment Wang Zhan stepped inside, he felt waves of coldness.

But to Wang Zhan's surprise, he didn't sense any trace of demonic beasts here.

Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, then perked up his ears and listened carefully, confirming his feeling once more.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

Han Junxiong quickly walked to his side and asked anxiously, "Is there some anomaly here too?"

Everyone else also looked tense, readying themselves for a fight.

Wang Zhan waved his hand at them, then shook his head and said, "Quite the opposite. I don't sense any trace of demonic beasts here."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Impossible. There are many legends about the Summit of Thousand Peaks, but every single one says this place is extremely terrifying."

"Yeah, I once heard the older generation mention that this place is a giant meat grinder. No matter how powerful the experts who come here are, none of them can ever leave."

"Mr. Wang, could it be that you misheard?"

They were human, not machines, and even machines could make errors in calculation.

Wang Zhan, however, shook his head. He squinted at the distance once more before stating firmly, "I am certain that, at least on the surface, there are no demonic beasts."

"Then what about beneath the surface?" Han Junxiong quickly asked.

Wang Zhan frowned and said, "That, I do not know."

Changing the subject, Wang Zhan's gaze returned to the group, and he calmly instructed, "Alright, there's no need for everyone to keep worrying. I'll first find a place to bury Hu Lao's ashes. Meanwhile, you all search this forest for any Genius Earth Treasures. Collect them, and when we leave this place later, we can refine them into elixirs."

Everyone nodded emphatically, formed pairs, and immediately dispersed.

Only Han Junxiong remained standing in place.

"Why aren't you going?" Wang Zhan asked after glancing at him.

"I, naturally, will stay by your side." Han Junxiong, arms still crossed, glanced at the ashes in Wang Zhan's hand, then said with a frown, "They might not have much of a connection with Hu Lao, but you and I are different from them. We both received Hu Lao's kindness. And I think you should know that even these weapons I possess were gifted by Hu Lao. How could I not see him off on his final journey?"

Wang Zhan said nothing, merely walking towards the distance, clearly having tacitly accepted Han Junxiong's decision.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had walked several kilometers, yet they still hadn't reached the end of the Summit of Thousand Peaks.

Standing on high ground, Wang Zhan scanned the surroundings, then shook his head and said, "I never expected this place to be so vast. We've walked so far and haven't even reached the summit."

Han Junxiong, beside him, chuckled and said, "Although I've never been here, just as they said, there are quite a few legends about this place, so I've heard a fair bit of news. This place is indeed very large, and it also harbors certain dangers. But why are you so certain that there isn't a single demonic beast here?"

Wang Zhan continued walking forward, replying with a smile, "When we first entered, there was a barrier blocking the way from outside. That's enough to prove that things from the outside cannot easily pass through."
