Chapter 435: Shifting Mountain (1/2)

Chapter 435: s.h.i.+fting Mountain

Qiurong Wanxue had nothing to say after hearing his explanation. Ordinary treasures were already very good for the Snow-shadow Tribe, and she didn’t even dare to think about legendary divine weapons.

However, she believed in his choice and asked: “What should we do now?”

Li Qiye responded with a smile: “There are five mountains at the five corners of this desert. As long as you can push these mountains into the middle, you will be able to open up this desert. Then, it will be up to your own fortune whether you will get a treasure or not.”

His familiarity with the s.h.i.+fting Mountain Pa.s.s caused Qiurong Wanxue to gaze at him: “Didn’t you say that you have never been to Necropolis before?”

Li Qiye answered with a smile: “If I had answered that I have been to this place before, would you have let me come along? If I am not mistaken, Chief Qiurong had always been suspicious that I bore ill will towards you guys.”

Being figured out by Li Qiye caused her to blush. This made her feminine and elegant aura to be even more alluring like a dripping ripe peach.

“Just kidding.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “Don’t take it seriously.” Li Qiye didn’t mind it at all since it was natural for her to be so cautious as the chief.

Qiurong Wanxue angrily glared at him: “Who would have been so paranoid if you didn’t act so suspiciously?” Her mature demeanor now had a youthful coquettish air mixed into it.

“Come, we have to go find the five mountains and push them together to see if we are lucky this time around.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

They began searching in the vast desert. Very quickly, they found a mountain. It wasn’t overly large nor small and looked very ordinary. The only distinctive feature was that it was completely black.

“We’ll push now.” Qiurong Wanxue quickly said after finding this mountain.

Li Qiye shook his head and said: “You won’t be able to, just follow me for now. Be on the lookout in case someone comes with bad intentions.” With that, he placed his hands on the mountain.

It was not hard to overturn mountains and seas with Li Qiye’s cultivation, so a normal-sized mountain should be as light as a feather and would easily be lifted up with one hand by him.

However, this black mountain was extremely heavy. Despite his utmost efforts, the mountain only s.h.i.+fted slightly. If any other mountain was met by this same force, it would have already been blown flying across the sky.

“Roll—” Li Qiye pushed the entire mountain as it followed a strange path; it was as if this path was already predetermined.

Qiurong Wanxue hurriedly followed behind him. She didn’t dare to be careless and released her divine intent to look around in case someone else wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Fortunately, no one else picked the s.h.i.+fting Mountain Pa.s.s so only the two of them were in this desert.

“Rolling—” Under Li Qiye’s constant pus.h.i.+ng, the black mountain slowly followed the predetermined path to the center of the desert.

Now, Qiurong Wanxue understood why people didn’t pick this pa.s.s. She witnessed Li Qiye’s strength with her own eyes when he crushed a Royal n.o.ble like crus.h.i.+ng an ant. However, he was struggling to push this mountain, so she wouldn’t be able to make it budge at all.

“Rolling—” This black mountain was heavy beyond one’s imagination. Even someone with astonis.h.i.+ng physical strength like Li Qiye found it to be a huge challenge.

It was halfway to the center, but Li Qiye’s entire body was drenched in sweat.

“Take a rest for now.” Qiurong Wanxue noticed his fatigued panting and worriedly said.

Li Qiye kept on pus.h.i.+ng and shook his head: “No, if I let go, it will move back to the original location and all will be for naught. You have to push it to the center in one go or it will never work.”

Qiurong Wanxue was shocked; no wonder why no one else wanted to pick the s.h.i.+fting Mountain Pa.s.s. She believed that even Ancient Saints would find this very difficult.

Li Qiye was quite mighty, so despite the heavy weight of the black mountain, he persevered until it reached the center in one setting.

After moving it to the center, he suddenly heard a cranking sound as if something had latched onto the mountain. At that point, he finally let go while being completely out of breath as he felt his legs giving out.

Qiurong Wanxue was scared and quickly came to embrace the staggering Li Qiye before asking: “Are you okay?”

The exhausted Li Qiye heaved a sigh and said: “Let me rest a bit. So tiring... This is indeed really hard.”
