Chapter 433: Gathering Together
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsThe person seated cross-legged on the peak of the metal mountain was Fang Xingjian, who had just stepped into level 29 awhile ago.
The reason he had come to the Horned Frogs Valley was so that he could use the thunderbolts from the skies to temper and increase the toughness of his body. He wanted to increase his body’s toughness from being comparable to that of a level 28 Divine Weapon to one that was level 29, thereby completing one tier of perfection after reaching level 29.
Fang Xingjian had even created the metal mountain under him by controlling the geomagnetic forces and applying the profoundness of the Mountain Shifting Sword. Although the Mountain Shifting Sword had long been synthesized into the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique, the essence of it was still there, thus allowing Fang Xingjian to use the sword force to guide the forces in the ground.
Right now, it was as if he had created a great lightning rod, and he was sitting on the tip of it. Fang Xingjian stared at the sky and waited for the storm’s arrival. He was constantly ready to receive the heavenly thunders to increase the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces in his body, as well as increase his body’s toughness.
As for the other people or matters, Fang Xingjian did not care about them at all. The two ladies who had come before him were insignificant like ants, and there was no need for him to pay them any heed.
However, the Ice Palace’s Saint and Priestess clearly did not think the same. They came up to the platform on the peak of the mountain, feeling astonished as they looked at the seemingly man-made platform. Then they gazed up at Fang Xingjian, who was sitting there cross-legged and motionless while looking up into the sky. The hearts of the two ladies were filled with anxiety and doubtfulness.
The Ice Palace’s Saint, who was slightly older than the Priestess, looked at Fang Xingjian with an assessing gaze. She thought, ‘This platform seems just like it was man-made. It’s true that a second transition expert may be able to do this. Was this done by this young guy over here?
‘But he appears to be a little too young, and his appearance is plain. It doesn’t seem as if it was done by him.’
On the other hand, the Ice Palace’s Priestess did not think as much. She did not sense anything suspicious about this young man and just spoke without any restraint, “Hey, how long have you been here for? Did you see anything? Do you know what happened?”
Of course, Fang Xingjian did not give any response. He merely stared at the sky in a daze, as if he had not heard what the Priestess had said at all.
The Ice Palace’s Saint quickly pulled back the good-looking Priestess and then said to Fang Xingjian, “I’m sorry, she’s a little outspoken. However, the iron mine here belongs to our Ice Palace. May I ask if the metal mountain here has any relation to you?”
Regardless, the Saint decided that the appearance of this young man was very strange. So, it was best for her to show more courtesy upfront.
However, Fang Xingjian continued to ignore them.
The young Ice Palace’s Priestess pouted and said angrily, “What’s wrong with you? We asked you nicely, but you don’t even reply.”
Seeing that Fang Xingjian continued to ignore them, the older Ice Palace’s Saint grew increasingly wary. With her experience in the world as a cultivator, a person like this must either be a lunatic or an expert.
Therefore, upon seeing that the Ice Palace’s Priestess wanted to go up to talk to Fang Xingjian, the Saint held her back, stopping her advancement.
Just then, a series of laughs rang out, and a man with purple-colored hair leaped up onto the platform at the peak of the mountain. He threw a nonchalant gaze toward Fang Xingjian before landing his eyes on the face of the Ice Palace’s Saint.
“Haha, Ice Palace’s ladies, what kind of abnormality has happened here? Has some treasure appeared?”
The Ice Palace’s Saint said coldly, “Deus, this isn’t the territory of the Circle of the Crimson Moon.”
“Since an abnormality has occurred in the Horned Frogs Valley, there’s no way that we, the Circle of the Crimson Moon, would leave it be. If there is the appearance of any treasures or ancient ruins, then it should be jointly studied by the factions in the vicinity.”
Looking at the purple-haired man, the Ice Palace’s Saint felt a little helpless. The Circle of the Crimson Moon had always been the Ice Palace’s arch enemy, and the two factions had been going against each other for decades. It was impossible for them not to get involved when an abnormality had occurred.
