Chapter 71

Number One Mountain

“There once was a beautiful mountain in the north named Spiritual Mountain. The mountains roll as far as the eye can see, the soils fertile and prosperous as ever.”

The famous poet Liu Chengzhi once wrote this poem t.i.tled 'A Tour of Spiritual Mountain' while visiting. It was a simple poem, though it made spiritual mountain famous and becoming one of the top five most famous mountains across the lands. The number of inhabitants saw an increase in the subsequent years.

Li Chengfeng sent his father off and reminded Asparta to take good care of him. He held back his anger as he kept the two mahjong tiles and left with Su Yuehan northwards. After travelling about fifty kilometres, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

He had heard of the Spiritual Mountain since a young age but due to spending all his time swindling… no, earning money for his family, he had never visited this place for vacation. And as the sect grew more powerful, their estate expanded. The initial private grounds was only about a ten-kilometre radius but currently, it had grown to more than a radius of fifty kilometres.

Before Chengfeng and Su Yuehan were two gigantic stone slabs, reminding every visitor that: they were now on the Spiritual Mountain Sect's land!

Li Chengfeng had previously robbed them of their offerings and then burned Sun Boren's eyes off… He felt slightly guilty as he stood before the signs.

The stone slabs stood at twenty metres tall and two metres wide, both stones standing on both sides of the path with one magnificent character each: Spiritual Mountain (靈山).

Beneath the two characters was a couplet, the top line being: There is no place like this across the ancient lands; the bottom line: the number one mountain beneath the heavens!

Li Chengfeng looked up at the stones and felt a strong oppressive force from them. There were dense totem arrays carved around these characters on the stones. While some of these carvings had moss growing on them, the mysterious diagrams radiated power. A pa.s.serby would be filled with peculiar reverence and subservience upon looking at them.

Su Yuehan also looked up with reverence. So this was the power of one of the top ten sects!

Although it was just a name, the name represented immense power. Not many could withstand such power!

Even a century-old demon like Su Yuehan did not dare act recklessly around them! If she was not disguised as Li Chengfeng's partner, with her ident.i.ty and capabilities, she still would not enter their lands unnecessarily.

Li Chengfeng was about to ride forwards on his horse but a purple ray shot out between the stone slabs like two blades barring them from entry. Between the two rays were transparent holograms of two cultivatours. They were clad in billowing priest robes, eyes glaring sharply at them. One held a steel Jian swordbreaker while the other held a fireball, both yelling sternly, “Off the horse!”

Chengfeng was startled and so was his horse, standing on its hind legs as it whinnied. If he did not have decent skills, he would have been thrown off.

Su Yuehan was flipped off her horse, currently rolling on the ground.

Chengfeng leapt off and pulled her horse's reins tight to prevent her from getting stepped on. When the horse calmed down, he looked at her to confirm that she was fine, then at the two holograms.
