Chapter 1366 The Mysterious Pagoda Mountain

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Chu Yang, who was traveling between hell and back, finally confessed.

Earlier on, Ye Zui’s demonic aura had invaded his body before he even realized. As this was the first time he came into contact with it, Chu Yang ended up suffering a huge disadvantage right away. Even though it was expelled in time, part of it had seeped into his internal organs nonetheless.

Through the efforts of the Sword Spirit, while Chu Yang indeed was making a joke to lighten the mood, at the same time, he was also making use of Ning Tianya’s supreme mighty aura and guiding it into his body. The Sword Spirit then made use of it and successfully expelled the demonic aura from his body!

And now, he could finally be at ease.

But was Ning Tianya’s power something that he could borrow so easily?

Even though he knew very well what Chu Yang was up to and was also going along with Chu Yang to help him expel the demonic aura, he had indeed gotten angry for real and also somewhat embarrassed…

Good thing this old man’s self-cultivation is good and I am able to keep my calm. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have been deceived into tears by this fellow?

If that happened, how is this old man going to face the world?

Therefore, Supremacy Ning’s fury was also honest to goodness anger.

Now that this fellow was alright, when would be a better time for Ning Tianya to torture him good and well if not now?

“Are you going to confess or not?” Ning Tianya asked imposingly.

“I’ll confess… My lord, stop beating me… I’ll confess… I’ll confess everything…” Minister Chu was in tears.

“Hurry and fess up!”

“Yes sir… Can my lord stop first… This lowly person’s buttocks are really hurting…”

Ning Tianya wanted to laugh. He gave him yet another vicious smack before he finally stayed his hand amidst a certain somebody’s tragic screams that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.

“Hurry up!”

“Yes… At that time, Supremacy Bu said, ‘When you see Old Ning, tell him this. I’ve fought with him for the title of number one in the world for fourteen thousand years, but to be honest, I’ve known since long ago that I am not as good as him! But this time around, I’ve edged him out instead, haha… I’ll wait up here for him to come and settle the score with me!’”

Chu Yang finally confessed the truth.

He recited what Moon Breeze had related to him word for word without any errors.

“That bastard!” A smile spread across Ning Tianya’s face. “Actually, I knew long ago that he would say that…”

Chu Yang rolled his eyes.

If you knew long ago, then did I still need to say anything? Are you that bored that your balls hurt?

But of course, he didn’t dare to say that out loud. He rubbed his bottom resentfully, feeling as though the more he rubbed, the more it hurt… Surely he couldn’t take another incomplete version of the Nine Tribulations Pill just for this bit of aching buttocks muscles?

He would really be too much of a wastrel if he did that…

Ning Tianya sat at the side, a small smile on his face. “The Nine Heavens Imperial Court… the Nine Heavens Imperial Court… hurhur… Little Bu is going to be in for it up there this time… Hahaha…”

“Why?” asked Chu Yang curiously.

“In the Nine Heavens Imperial Court… Our level of cultivation is too weak!” Ning Tianya smiled before he continued. “I’ve been there once many years ago…”

“Been there once…” Chu Yang’s jaw dropped.

“Yes, I’ve been there once.” Ning Tianya sighed. “That place is really great… There’s sufficient spiritual energy, the environment is beautiful and spirit plants and herbs can be seen everywhere. But the number of experts there is also frighteningly high…”

“I was only there for three days before I was thrown back down by someone, who told me to watch over these Nine Heavens…”

Somewhat nostalgic, Ning Tianya went on. “And watch the Nine Tribulations Sword Master achieve great success. The day that the Sword Master succeeds is the day that I shall ascend to heaven…”

“I see.” Realization dawned upon Chu Yang.

In his impression, Ning Tianya’s cultivation should have been much stronger than the others. Yet in actuality, they were on the same level. Chu Yang had found this strange since a long time ago.

“Does that mean that you’ve suppressed your cultivation?” asked Chu Yang.

“Yes. If I were to release the restriction on my cultivation, I probably would have broken through the void instantly.” With a smile, Ning Tianya rubbed his chin. “If Little Bu were to know this, he would probably be very annoyed.”

“Even I’m annoyed hearing this.” Chu Yang rolled his eyes. “We’re done talking about me now. Let’s talk about you.”

“I’m not done yet… How is Little Wu?” asked Ning Tianya persistently.

Resigned, Chu Yang could only give him a proper account of everyone’s situation.

Only then was Ning Tianya finally able to put his mind at ease.

“You’ve come to this Pagoda Mountain because of a fateful encounter. This shows that you’ve finally reached a certain point in your fate.” Ning Tianya’s voice took on a serious note. “I had known that you would definitely come, but I didn’t think that you would come this early. The earlier you come, the richer your fortune of fate is!”

“Fortune of fate?” asked a puzzled Chu Yang.

“Yes, fortune of fate!” Ning Tianya nodded affirmatively. “Have you realized that if you come from the north, you wouldn’t be able to see the Pagoda Mountain? However, it is visible from any other direction besides the north.”

“Yes, I have realized that. Why is that so?” The biggest mystery in Chu Yang’s heart was brought up.

Ning Tianya gave him a slight smile. “The mountain of the pagoda and the peak of Yin and Yang. Five levels shake the earth while nine levels overturn the heavens!”

“This the Nine Heavens continent’s mountain of treasures!”

Chu Yang quietly kept that in mind.

“This is the fascinating part about the Pagoda Mountain. In the Pagoda Mountain where Yin and Yang coincide, countless secrets are hidden here! On the surface, although this mountain doesn’t look that small, when compared to other mountain ranges in the continent, it doesn’t count as much. Mountain ranges that span thousands and tens of thousands of miles are a dime a dozen in the continent.”

“But after you truly enter the Pagoda Mountain, that’s when you’ll realize that this mountain is far larger than what it looks like. There is a lot more going on beneath the surface! This is the first great secret of the Pagoda Mountain!”

“There are nine levels in the Pagoda Mountain. The first and second levels make up the foundation; from the third level onwards, every level is ever-changing! Even I cannot fully grasp it. In fact, I’ve been on this mountain for so long, yet I can’t even figure out one percent of it.”

“That is the reason why ever since olden times, an unimaginable number of people have come to this Pagoda Mountain. Some people came and went, but too many people have gotten lost in here. Even if they possess the cultivation of a Supreme Martial Artist, they were not able to get out. In the end, they starved to death here.”

Ning Tianya heaved a small sigh. “Even though a Supreme Martial Artist can go three months without food, in fact, even three years, he ultimately still needs to eat. Absorbing spiritual energy alone cannot sustain a person. The only difference between a Supreme Martial Artist getting lost and a regular person getting lost is that he is merely able to resist hunger for a longer period of time, that’s all.”

“Because this mountain cannot be forcefully broken through, even with my current cultivation, I cannot destroy even a single rock on this mountain… When I fly, the most I can do is fly into the fog. It’s impossible to even determine a direction. I can’t even fly my way out. The first time Ye Chenchen came here, he went around in circles for more than two months, unable to get out. No matter how he flew about, from the beginning till the end, he could only go around in circles in the area where he was, as he realized much to his frustration later on.”

Chu Yang was astounded. This was just a mountain and yet it contained that many profound secrets and mysteries?

Ning Tianya went on. “Every level of the Pagoda Mountain is more than what it seems and contains a whole new world.”

“One side of the Pagoda Mountain is the underworld while the other side is the human world — This is the second great secret! Which is to say that from the north, even if the mountain is right in front of someone, he will not be able to see it at all. Even if he slams right into the mountain, he’ll go right through, even if he’s just a regular person. But from the south, even a Supreme Martial Artist — even a ninth-grade one — would need to ascend the mountain step by step nonetheless!”

“The third great secret of the Pagoda Mountain is that it is constantly absorbing spiritual energy of the universe. The level of density of spiritual energy on the Pagoda Mountain ranks top in the Nine Heavens! But the longest most people can cultivate here is three years. After three years, no matter how reluctant you may be, you can only come again three years later.”

“The reason why I came here immediately the moment I regained the ability to move about after I was injured is exactly this.”

“The reason why Ye Chenchen, the founder of the Ye Clan, comes here once every three years is exactly this!”

“By right, after absorbing several hundred thousand years of spiritual energy, there should be a limitless number of Heavenly Treasures in this mountain. But in reality, no one has ever discovered even an effective stalk of medicinal herbs in this Pagoda Mountain!”

Chu Yang was already in a dumbfounded state.

He never would have thought that a mere mountain could actually be veiled in so many mysteries.

“Furthermore, this place is full of amazing encounters. However, not everyone can run into such encounters… Those who are not fated with it, even if they are right in front of a wonderful chance encounter, they would also walk away at once… Ye Zui actually being able to inherit the Extraterrestrial Demon legacy here was truly a tremendous surprise.”

“However, the Extraterrestrial Demon legacy is not something that originated from the Pagoda Mountain itself, so… it makes sense that Ye Zui was able to get it.”

“The fourth great secret of the Pagoda Mountain is that every level has its own requirements. Take Ye Zui for example — There was nothing he could do other than to leave after I brought you here to the eighth level, because his cultivation only allows him to go up to the fourth level!”

“The law-enforcement officer… The law-enforcement officer, Lang Yilang, used to come here once every three years. However, that fellow can also be considered an abnormality. Every time he comes, he would come from the north and pass right through the mountain. Then, he would go to the Ye Clan and then head north from there to find the mountain and enter it…”

Chu Yang felt like something just exploded in his mind!

The law-enforcement officer Lang Yilang!

Coming here once every three years!

He swayed a little, unable to stop himself from dropping onto his bottom.

His buttocks were still split into quite a few segments at this point. The moment he landed on his bottom, he howled long and tragically into the sky…

But he finally understood!

In this instant, Chu Yang wished he could give himself two hundred tight slaps across his own face!

I’m so dumb, seriously!

I kept thinking of various ways to infiltrate the Ye Clan but never once thought of looking outside of the Ye Clan for the place where Purple Crystals could be found in abundance and the place where fortune of fate was the greatest.

After going around in circles for so long, it turns out to be here.

No wonder Lang Yilang said that it can’t be easily found and that a certain degree of luck is needed in order to find it.

So that’s how it is. The Law-Enforcement Interrogation Hall is by the north, so he needed to come from the north every time. So, he naturally wouldn’t have been able to see it. He needed to go through the mountain to reach the south first and then turn around before he could reach this place…

Chu Yang heaved a sigh. The place where fortune of fate was the greatest; this Pagoda Mountain was hailed as the number one secret in the world. How could this not be the place where fortune of fate was the greatest?

‘The night is cold and chilly’…’The night is cold and chilly’!

Wasn’t this place right in the territory of the Ye Clan?

As for these three lines —’Violet Aura from the East, a bright moon comes out above the mountains’… and ‘When heaven and earth are covered in the same light’…

Looking at the moon at night would be it.

This was truly finding something by chance after traveling far and wide in search of it…

Chu Yang practically wanted to howl into the sky to give voice to the happiness in his heart.
