Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The distance between Swordsman City and Immortal Sundering Mountain was close to around 10,000 miles. Zhou Xuanji and the rest took about half a month to arrive.
As they looked at the undulating mountain and thick forest ahead, the little black snake sighed, saying, “Back then, I concentrated full-on training for 200 years here, then I was found by the kid, Li Chimei. Since then, I followed him onto a crooked path and ended up like this.”
No one care about him. They continued ahead.
”This place is rich with Spiritual Qi indeed. There must be many demons inside as well?” Zhou Xuanji said with amazement.
Zhao Congjian nodded and said, “The Immortal Sundering Mountain was one of the highest mountains in within Great ZHou’s border. It had many spots that were hardly known by people. Naturally, countless demons reside within it.”
”Why are there so many demons?” Little Jiang Xue asked curiously, “Could it be that many Demon Kings are hiding inside? And Great Zhou could not do anything about them?”
Zhou Xuanji rolled his eyes at her. “It was to farm them, of course. To humans, demons are full of treasures.”
The group chatted as they walked toward the mountainous forest.
Immortal Sundering Mountain was thick with vegetation. It was filled with enjoyable bird chirps and the fragrance of flowers. The Three-Eyed Drought Rodent was very excited and ran ahead of them, dragging along the little black snake.
Ah Big and Small Er followed closely behind. As they dashed ahead with their massive bodies, they swept up waves of dust. The trees along their path were all tilted to the side.
”Follow them. There could be treasures.”
Zhou Xuanji instructed Beixiao Wangjian, and the sword slave immediately went chasing after them.
The Three-Eyed Drought Rodent could identify all treasures in the world. Previously, it frequently found many treasures for Zhou Xuanji, but most of them were Spirit Stones, or Spirit Grass or Fruits.
Zhou Xuanji, Little Jiang Xue, Huang Lianxin, and Zhao Congjian strolled ahead instead.
Along the way, Zhao Congjian began asking about the difficulties in training Vibrant Raindrops Sword.
Zhou Xuanji had already realized its sword will and mastered the Vibrant Raindrops Sword. He resolved Zhao Congjian’s confusion in a few sentences.
At this point in time, Zhao Congjian was in total submission.
Since he followed Zhou Xuanji, he continued to improve in his Sword’s Way.
But he wanted to learn Dual Sword Will the most.
Before he could teach Beixiao Wangjian to attain Great Accomplishment in his sword technique, he did not have the face to raise such a request.
After an hour.
Under the lead of Ah Big and Small Er, they found Beixiao Wangjian and the Three-eyed Drought Rodent.
This was a cave, situated at the mountain foot. It was covered by bushes, and they could not see the end of it.
Beixiao Wangjian stood at the entrance and said, “I have cleared the demons inside. Go down and take a look?”
Zhou Xuanji nodded before taking Little Jiang Xue’s hands and entered the cave. Zhao Congjian and Huang Lianxin followed closely behind. Ah Big and Small Er could only wait outside because of their gigantic bodies.
The cave extended downward, and the cave walls appeared to be wet. After walking down for about 50 meters, they saw a very large subterranean void. The walls were inlaid with all kinds of jewels, which lit up the cave with their radiance.
Not far from them laid four demon corpses that looked like crocodiles that were covered with blood.
Zhou Xuanji saw a lake in front. At the center of the lake, a Blood Lotus stood with a soft radiance. He immediately knew that it was something extraordinary.
”Jade Blood Immortal. This is something really good. It can strengthen your Blood Qi. If I consume it, my cultivation can recover to the second rank, then I can help you guys. ”
The little black snake laid on Zhou Xuanji’s shoulders and said eagerly.
Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “Zhao Congjian, get it for me.”
”Yes, master!”
Zhao Congjian immediately went ahead, and the little black snake was exhilarated.
I’m going to become stronger!
Finally, I don’t have to be suppressed by this smelly rat!
”Are there any hidden dangers here?”
Zhou Xuanji asked Huang Lianxin. Her penetrative sight had been evolving. Not only could she see through human bodies, but she could also see through mountains, mudded rivers, as well as vegetations.
Zhao Congjian suspected that her eyes had a certain bloodline, but it was a pity that Huang Lianxin was not sure herself.
Her eyes shone with a peculiar light. She swept around and shook her head, saying, “Nothing dangerous.”
