Chapter 322: 179, 180. Great Power Clears the Field, Harvesting Immortality Peach (Subscribe Requested)_2
Suddenly, Yan Baixiang had an epiphany.
In the past decade, he had experienced many things, which allowed him to discern something.
He couldn’t help but show a bitter smile, but then he came to terms with it all.
His mother, perhaps with his stepfather by her side, that might be the best companionship. And the fact that his stepfather was so good to him, perhaps it was mostly for his mother’s sake...
...
...
"Xiang probably has sensed something," Song Cheng said.
Su Mengzhen replied, "So what if he has sensed it? What does it matter?"
Song Cheng chuckled.
A few steps later, they were greeted by White Tiger Guards who escorted them to the entrance of Yaochi Peak.
The entrance was not so much a mountain path as an uphill route, the path already flattened by the trampling multitude, made firm underfoot.
Song Cheng looked up only to feel that Yaochi Peak soared like a skyscraping sword’s edge, with clouds lingering around its waist. Yet the higher his gaze wandered, the blurrier it became.
He was stunned for a moment, then let go of his senses.
His perception failed him.
In the face of Yaochi Peak, all his perceptions were no different from those of ordinary people.
Song Cheng was not surprised, as he had already tested his senses from afar upon learning of Yaochi Peak’s location. Now that he was at the foot of the mountain and tried again, the results were no different.
A White Tiger Guard on one side was describing the situation of those who had climbed the mountain in the past few days.
However, Song Cheng was already aware of the content, yet he still patiently listened to the White Tiger Guard’s report in person. After confirming there was no discrepancy between their information, he waved his hand to dismiss the guard and glanced at his elder sister-in-law.
Su Mengzhen nodded her head.
The pair then locked arms and stepped onto the path.
Once inside, after walking for a while, Song Cheng had a rough understanding of the situation.
His strength was unaffected, but everything on "Yaochi Peak"... was terrifyingly hard, be it the soil or the trees.
However, Song Cheng did not test "to what extent he could utilize his Dharma Aspect power" here.
It wasn’t his style to cause destruction in a completely unfamiliar place, one he did not understand.
He wouldn’t act so recklessly.
Yet, he had his own estimates deep within.
All his soul attacks were likely banned here.
And his Dharma Aspect power, it should be enough to destroy a tree.
A common Martial Artist here, would probably only be able to pluck leaves and fruits at most.
The mountain path was winding, circling like a serpent, layer upon layer, loop upon loop, with cicada calls in the distance like the rush of rain.
"The temperature here is off, as if it’s summer," said Song Cheng.
The elder sister-in-law also nodded in agreement, then added, "You’re right. This place does have a bit of the feel of the Chaotic Journey between continents, but it’s still uncertain."
Song Cheng said, "Then let’s speed up, but be careful not to damage the grass, trees, or any living creatures here."
The elder sister-in-law gave him a wordless look that said she had never seen "a powerful being who still cared so much for plants" before.
Song Cheng chuckled.
The two immediately picked up their pace, moving side by side as if in flight.
After "flying" for a while, they arrived at the summit of Yaochi Peak.
And there, the summit featured a flat path with dense forests on either side.
They walked nonchalantly onward.
The elder sister-in-law said, "I have a bad feeling."
Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, they walked into the dense forest, and White Tiger Guards on both sides suddenly appeared, saying respectfully, "Prince."
Song Cheng scanned the surroundings and saw that he and Su Mengzhen had indeed come out on the side of Yaochi Peak.
Even though he had clearly climbed to the top, it was still futile.
Unconvinced, he continued to lead his elder sister-in-law up the mountain.
But no matter how many times he ascended, no matter how careful he was, he would always "unintentionally" end up outside at some crossing...
There was no pattern. It seemed as if by whim. A turn that was perfectly normal the last time would take you out of the mountain at the next, a river path that led to an open field before might now become an exit...
And the elder sister-in-law had basically confirmed it.
"It’s almost the same as the Chaotic Journey, just not as vast..."
Her once dormant fear was now awakened.
"What on earth is this mountain all about?"
For a moment, Song Cheng was silent.
Such a small mountain, and yet he could not reach the end.
The "Chaotic Journey" between continents was as vast as the Blue Sea, as expansive as a desert, and wandering within it meant constantly being lost. Unless you were extremely lucky, you could eventually stumble out by accident.
"Your Su Family actually managed to come out?"
"Yes, I think about it now and it’s terrifying. Who would want to take this lifeless Chaos Route unless there was absolutely no hope left? Our Su Family made it out, but many Noble Families were destroyed in it. You should know... during the Ghost River era, there were many, many Noble Families on Greenbird Continent."
"What exactly is this?" Song Cheng gazed at Yaochi Peak. He had once investigated that Taoist Alchemist’s background, and had learned about "these Immortality Peaches" from a source...
It was an ancient geographical record, revised many times over the years, with many secret realms that matched up, most of which were relics from the era before Dashang, when different forces ruled the Martial Arts World.
Now, this "Yaochi Peak"... originally hidden in Accumulating Thunder Mountain, was unearthed because of that geographical record.
...
...
Time flew, and another half month had passed.
At the Su Family, a Noble Family Child named Su Keshi was also climbing the mountain. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Everyone held hope for the "Longevity Medicine," even if they failed time and time again. As long as nothing was set in stone, they would continue to climb, continue to explore.
The mountain was vast, the path narrow, and like always, Su Keshi chose a path at random. As he walked, he thought he would wind up outside the mountain once again, but this time... he walked a very long and far distance.
