Chapter 683: Allpine Mountain

Fortunately, the Allpine Mountain was vast with countless mountains and valleys. Even though guests came from all over the world, there were still plenty of places for them to stay.

Although there was still some time before the treefather’s birthday, the place was already packed with people, and more arrived on a daily basis.

Even the low-key imperial family of the Alchemy Kingdom, the reclusive Jianlong Clan, and the Beastmaster Citadel that never cared for mundane matters… All of these behemoths sent experts to come congratulate the treefather.

From this, one could see the treefather’s frightening position in the Stone Medicine World.

“Squeakk—” A carriage slowly approached a small town below the Allpine Mountain. Li Qiye was still resting inside the carriage as if he was sleeping. He immersed himself in the carriage’s rhythm. The bull took its time dragging the carriage towards the mountain.

This little town was normally deserted, but now, it was bustling with cultivators staying here. Some of them ran out of the mountain for a breath of fresh air while others were here to trade items.

Li Qiye turned a deaf ear to the commodious town and continued to stay in the carriage as it kept on moving towards the mountain base.

In fact, at this time, new guests filled the mountain base like carps jumping in a river. With this being the case, no one noticed Li Qiye mixing in with the crowd.

Once the carriage finally entered the mountain, Li Qiye immediately opened his eyes to look at the sight before him.

One could only see a verdant scenery with rolling hills and peaks that soared to the sky. There were also straight waterfalls that were three thousand feet high. There were also ancient pines that resembled horned dragons growing on the precipices…

No matter who they might be, they would be praising the majestic scenery before them. This place was different from other locations with its countless cl.u.s.ters of green lights floating in the sky. They were around the size of needles and appeared to be extremely lifelike. Because of these little glimmers of green light, it made the entire Allpine Mountain appear even more magical and exceptionally beautiful.

At this time, Li Qiye’s brows furrowed. In this split second, it was as if his eyes were able to see through the entire mountain range. His gaze stretched across everything and fell upon an old pine tree; it was not a big pine tree, but it was definitely extremely ancient.

After a while, Li Qiye withdrew his gaze and murmured: “Allpine Mountain, Allpine Treefather... A bit interesting… What a shame that after such a long time, he still isn’t able to leave the Allpine Mountain.”

The treefather’s fame had spread across the entire world, but for hundreds of thousands of years, he had never left the Allpine Mountain. Although he could appear anywhere in the millions of miles of the mountain range, he couldn’t actually leave it.

As for the reason why, there had been many different theories. The most plausible and widely accepted one was that before the treefather had gained intelligence from the dao, his root was entrenched in the deepest parts of the Allpine Grand Vein and had fused together with the vein.

Because his root and the grand vein had become one, this allowed for him to appear anywhere inside the Allpine Mountain, but he wouldn’t be able to take a single step outside.

“Squeak...” At this time, the journey continued with the bull dragging the carriage along while Li Qiye kept his eyes shut inside.

However, before they could reach the gate of the mountain, they were stopped by someone.

“You’re still not dead…” A cold, hateful voice appeared. Some bloodl.u.s.t was even present.

After hearing this cold voice, Li Qiye opened his eyes and saw the Dragon Princess with some disciples blocking his path.

At this point, she glared at him with a chilling gaze and flashed her murderous intent as if she wanted nothing more than to kill him at this moment.

The princess’s deep hatred towards Li Qiye was understandable. Despite her n.o.ble birth and high status, she was still slapped by this n.o.body Li Qiye before the eyes of others — nothing could be more humiliating than this.

If Jian Wushuang didn’t stop her at that time, then she would have killed him already. Since Jian Wushuang wanted his insignificant life, the Dragon Princess thought that he wouldn’t be able to leave the Celestial Peak Mountain alive. Who would have thought that she would be able to see him here fine and well at this place!
