Chapter 1112: Life-and-Death Road
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Within the mysterious realm.
The sky was gray and misty with light.
Rubble lay scattered everywhere in a mess, and there was a large rock plaque that had broken into several pieces with the words ‘Longyan Peak’ carved into it.
“It really is a remnant of the Mount Mengyan Holy Land…” After entering the mysterious realm, Fang Yuan had this feeling.
“The original restrictions of Mount Mengyan were very powerful. Although they might be damaged now, they’re even stranger since they’ve integrated with the power of nature… We have to be even more careful!”
Qiu Tianfeng looked around and nodded. “From my previous experience, we’ll reach the Immortal cave abodes after breaking through a few restrictions. There will be many benefits…”
“Let me take a look!” Tie Xinku strode forward bravely. “This place has the Nomological Laws of Gravity, but they’re inferior to those of our Golden Soul Sect!”
They were all core disciples of the Holy Land, and they had experienced Golden Mount Meru’s refined Nomological Laws of Gravity. The restraining power here was not as strong as the core disciple peaks, so they naturally did not fear it.
They advanced again and came to a foggy place.
“It looks like the Five Mystic Seal Spiritual Array. It reeks of a space restriction and appears to have blended with the shards of the mysterious realm’s laws to become something of its own!” He seemed to have some sort of secret detection method with his hand seals. However, he shook his head after sensing for a short moment. “It’s useless. I can’t think of a way to crack it!”
“Haha… The laws of nature and the Dao of Array. An array master had originally obtained this by observing the movement of heaven and earth. The power of a nature array is much stronger than you and me. Moreover, this is a variation of the original Five Mystic Seal Spiritual Array. There’s no other way than to break it forcefully!”
Qiu Tianfeng stepped forward and punched.
He also cultivated the Nine Transference Undying Method, but his level was much higher than Fang Yuan’s, having reached the peak of the sixth transference. His body was comparable to a top-grade immortal artifact, and his every move carried boundless force.
Bang!
His punch was simple and without any fluctuations of magic power. It was pure strength, yet it caused the white fog to move, and a giant tunnel appeared.
But the next moment, everyone’s eyes narrowed.
The white fog circulated and slowly repaired itself.
“This tunnel is about a kilometer long, and no spiritual techniques can break the Five Mystic Seal Spiritual Array. We can only rely on our physical bodies to get through it!” Qiu Tianfeng explained. “However, this is the safest restriction since the array won’t attack us if we use pure physical force!”
“No wonder Eldest Senior Brother didn’t bring any inner disciples!”
Huang Yue immediately understood that only a body at the immortal artifact level could open the way through this mutated array. Inner disciples would just be burdens.
Under the Immortal realm and with bodies at the immortal artifact level, how many of them were there in the Golden Soul Sect?
“Everyone takes turns. Don’t waste time!”
Xie Wufeng stepped up and stabbed fiercely with his sword.
Poof!
A channel appeared in the giant tunnel and advanced fifteen steps.
Xia Qinghe followed, and the channel advanced another ten steps.
Fang Yuan looked on coldly. This method of forcibly attacking and breaking through could measure the physical strength of each disciple.
Qiu Tianfeng, for example, had advanced more than twenty steps with a casual blow, and he seemed to have energy remaining. However, Tie Xinku and Huang Yue had only managed to advance five or six steps.
The gap between the first core disciple and the tail-end ones was evident.
“My turn!” He stepped forward excitedly with golden light spots all over his body. “Break!”
Rumble!
The channel broke through another seven or eight steps forward.
Li Hun… you…
Tie Xinku and Huang Yue were astonished. They could see that Fang Yuan had used all his might, unlike them.
“Good job. Don’t stop!”
Qiu Tianfeng was slightly happy after seeing this. He stepped up again and opened up another twenty steps.
The fog gathered behind them, blocking the entrance completely.
…
After three days.
Six figures escaped haggardly from a sea of thunder.
“Finally made it!” Tie Xinku and Huang Yue were frightened. “That sea of thunder is man-made. Even though it lacks the true mighty power of the lightning tribulation, it’s still terrible…”
“Hehe… You thought that was close to the lightning tribulation?”
Qiu Tianfeng said casually, “As core disciples, we have strong foundations, and our lightning tribulations will also multiply by our strength. It is heaven’s will for the world to be in balance, but we cultivators are fighting against heaven for our lives, and we are most disdainful about this… You have to be careful when you cross your lightning tribulations.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Eldest Senior Brother!” Tie Xinku and the others thanked him hurriedly.
They looked at the jade white enormous mountain in front of them, their faces solemn. “We’ve finally reached the Immortal cave abodes!”
“That’s right. There are at least a dozen Immortal cave abodes on this White Jade Mountain. Although every abode has the protection of a restriction, the Immortals had only arranged them casually. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to break them!”
Qiu Tianfeng nodded. “We’ll split up here. Everyone, be careful!”
After a pause, he looked at Fang Yuan. “Junior Brother Li Hun, follow me!”
“Understood!” An enlivened Fang Yuan tagged along behind Qiu Tianfeng and flew toward the White Jade Mountain.
This Li Hun! Tie Xinku and Huang Yue exchanged infuriated glances. Is he really going to follow Eldest Senior Brother? How should we choose?
“Haha! We’ll have a lot to search for in this mountain full of cave abodes…” Xia Qinghe and Xie Wufeng looked at Tie Xinku and Huang Yue. “Do you want to come with us?”
“No! No need!” They quickly shook their heads. “Senior Brother and Senior Sister, please help yourselves!”
…
“Li Hun, do you know why I’m bringing you along?” Qiu Tianfeng asked with his hands behind his back, his expression proud.
“Perhaps… because I’m obedient?” Fang Yuan smiled, acting good-natured.
“Haha… There’s that too!” Qiu Tianfeng turned around, his eyes gleaming. “I don’t care if you’re really foolish or just acting. As long as you’re obedient and help me succeed in this treasure hunt, I can guarantee that you will become my trusted aide, and I’ll grant you the position of an elder with power in the future!”
“I possess low ability and just want to find a big tree I can rely on. I don’t dare to compete with Eldest Senior Brother for the true treasures. I’ll be grateful as long as I can obtain some treasures to refine my body with!” Fang Yuan answered generously.
“Very good. You know how to be flexible. Follow me!” Qiu Tianfeng appeared satisfied and went forward, ignoring the Immortal cave abodes.
Fang Yuan followed closely behind, sneering in his heart. He probably brought me along because my cultivation is the lowest, and I’m the easiest to control. This Qiu Tianfeng obviously knows about the Heaven Connecting Mountain… Moreover, there should be some danger that he needs a scapegoat to do.
They hurried along. After reaching Longyan Peak, a huge multi-colored restriction blocked their way.
“Go!”
Qiu Tianfeng took out his immortal artifact flying ship, and it slammed into the restriction.
Whoosh!
A vast amount of lightning, flames, and icicles emerged to pelt the ship, like rain pattering unceasingly against a banana leaf. It might be an immortal artifact, but it gradually gave way as its surface became full of pits.
Decisive. He’s giving up an immortal artifact to get past the restriction faster!
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, watching from the side.
Qiu Tianfeng was the eldest senior brother of the Golden Soul Sect and a Son of Destiny. He had many treasures and secret skills, having an unfathomable depth.
He defeated even more powerful restrictions with various items, and they soon arrived in front of a small mountain.
Green hills laid on it back, and streams flowed. This scenery was everywhere here.
Seeing this mountain seemed to make Qiu Tianfeng’s eyes glow incomparably bright. “Heaven Connecting Mountain? I’m finally here. Haha…”
It’s really this place! Fang Yuan exclaimed inwardly.
Currently, he only had a small portion of his psyche placed on the surroundings, and the rest focused on comprehending this mysterious realm’s Nomological Laws of Time.
He deduced that an Immortal must have reached perfection in the Nomological Laws of Time, perhaps even cultivated the Dao of Time, and had revamped this place.
According to the map, this Heaven Connecting Mountain wasn’t only the abode of a Grand Unity Elder, but it was also an important place with a hidden treasure!
At this point, Fang Yuan concentrated all of his psyche here. Even Qiu Tianfeng lost his arrogance and walked forward orderly.
They came to the foot of the mountain and saw two identical roads winding forward into the clouds.
“We’re here. The Life-and-Death Road of the Heaven Connecting Mountain!”
Qiu Tianfeng gazed at Fang Yuan and suddenly shot a restriction at him. “You… choose one road. I’ll definitely treat you well after this!”
“Eldest Senior Brother… You!” Fang Yuan covered his dantian, his face full of surprise and anger.
“Don’t blame me. This Life-and-Death road is exactly what it means. One road leads to death, while the other leads to life, and it’s hard to tell which is which. Moreover, there are dangers on both roads. It’s difficult to determine with normal puppets and Fey beasts. Otherwise, I truly don’t want to sacrifice you…” Qiu Tianfeng said indifferently. “Choose! Defy me and die. Choose one, and you have a fifty percent chance of making it out and enjoying a lifetime of happiness!”
“Good!” Fang Yuan showed sorrow and chose a road. His figure disappeared in an instant.
He… accepted it and agreed so readily? Qiu Tianfeng frowned. But there’s nothing to worry about with this restriction in hand!
…
Indeed, it happened! Unbeknown to Qiu Tianfeng, Fang Yuan was rushing forward at lightning speed. Restricting my dantian? Hehe…
His cultivation on the surface was only superficial. His true strength was hidden in that space, and it would be easy to destroy the restriction once he unleashed it.
Thanks to Qiu Tianfeng, I was able to reach the Heaven Connecting Mountain easily. As for the Life-and-Death Road…
There was naturally a description of this perilous land in the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower.
It was indeed hard to discern which road was which. It could kill Immortals and would even interchange.
However, Fang Yuan had a huge advantage. He was the only successor of Mount Mengyan and had obtained the identity imprint of a core disciple through the Outer Heaven Tower. He would naturally receive preferential treatment from the Mount Mengyan Holy Land with this identity.
His chosen road, even if it was the death road at first, would automatically become the life road!
