Chapter 516 - CHALLENGING THE FLOWING SWORD ARTS MEET (1) (1/2)

The mountaintop of the Five Element Mountains is mystery and home to Demons and Devils. This is what the people of Silhae had always believed.

Even though the people believed in the Demon King, they worship him because they fear him. While some of the more ascetic group of believers believe in his other form the Holy Monkey of Enlightenment.

There have always been two aspect of the Demon Monkey.

There is that aspect of him as a fearsome Demon General attacking the Heavenly Court and there is the aspect of him becoming a Holy Monkey and attain awakening of the consciousness of all things.

But there is another reason why they called it mysterious and why they dreaded coming near the mountains.

It is because something unusual only happen on top of that mountaintop and nowhere else.

What is unusual?

It means something that is not habitually or commonly occurring or done. When spring came while most mountain would have some plants sprouting out, or a dry barren area, the thing is different for the Five Element Mountain.

When spring came, on top of that mountain, a paradise like scene would presented itself to whoever dares to climb it.

There is glowing flowers with variety of colors, there is green grass as green as those in a huge fertile field, and butterflies would fly around the mountaintop.

It looks nothing like a mountaintop and more like a large wide garden encompassing all the area of the top

One of Silhae officials once wanted to seclude himself on top of the mountain but when spring came and he saw this scene, while it is beautiful, it scared him and he went down the mountain

Since then there is many other things that made people avoid the mountain. One of them is the five peaks that is separated from each other that looks like finger. So, the mountain has another name by the people of Silhae.

The Five Finger Mountain.

When Xi Feng come from Yong to Silhae, while he did know of all of this he did not pay much attention to it.

Probably because he is form Yong, he did not share such fear or deep reverence to the mountain like the people around it.

But after a few seasons of living on top of the mountain he understands why people called the mountain a mysterious place.

In spring there is this trees that sprouted at an astoundingly fast rate with colorful fruits hanging off from its branches.

He once tested it on animals and they did not die eating it even after a few weeks of observation so he and his disciple would always wait for spring to come to taste the fruit.

It is not only full of water, it is also sweet and good for replenishing energy after training. While this kind of sight would scare the natives of Silhae, Xi Feng only thought it happens because the mountain might have a different kind of climate.

The Sage of Knowledge once espouses such theory on certain changes of the world weather.

So, Xi Feng lived quite peacefully on top of this mountain with his disciple. But not everyone knows this.

In the winter, it looks like an immortal abode with mist and clouds around it and in spring it is like a heavenly paradise of abundance and fertility

So when the entourage of the orthodox and heterodox sects arrived at the top, they were shocked and awe.

Most of these people come from Zhou or Yong and there are only a few people from the North and even they rarely see this kind of scene on top of the mountaintop.

'This is….' Tukhla was speechless when he arrived at the top. What he expected to see and what he sees is two different thing
