112 Special Treasure-Hunting Armamen (1/2)
From afar, the fragment mountain looked majestic, seemingly towering over the skies!
As the largest known fragment of the ancient greenish-bronze sword currently on Earth, it had stood in its position for the past thirty-eight years, witnessing the emergence and birth of cultivation civilization on Earth. In those thirty odd years, there were also many Ancient Martial Arts elites from the four major Dao College who had obtained the rights to visit the mountain, eventually going on to become the pillars of the Federation!
It was extremely imposing. After landing in its current position all those years ago, it had swept the land, resulting in a huge hurricane covering the entire desert, which took several years to completely dissipate. Even after the hurricane had dissipated, the magnetic field still present had formed the Spirit Breath Village, which was well known among cultivators!
Resources, cultivation techniques, pills, Dharma treasures, and numerous treasures that had not been completely discovered by the four major Dao College lay deep within the fragment mountain!
Therefore, every time access to it was opened, students would try their best to enter it to complete their mission to search and explore the mountain!
As Wang Baole proceeded, he looked at the fragment mountain, feeling uncontrollably agitated as his mind and spirit drew heavily toward it. The feeling was compounded as he neared the fragment mountain, for it was too majestic!
It was several times taller in height compared to all the mountains that Wang Baole had seen in his life. He could not even take in the entire mountain before his eyes, and standing in front of it, a feeling of insignificance welled up in his heart.
Cracks of varying depths were also visible on the surface of the fragment mountain. Some had been left behind over thirty years ago, but the majority of them seemed to be from time periods even further back.
Those cracks were akin to the wrinkles on one's face, giving off a vibe of weariness due to age. Looking at them was like looking at the traces of the thousands of years that had passed.
On the surface of the mountain were innumerable shimmering runes. The shimmering rays formed a wave, and even though they were not as bright as compared to when they first emerged, they continued to spread, albeit within a limited area.
At the foot of the mountain, students from the four major Dao Colleges were entering and exiting. The points of entry were the cracks present on the fragment mountain, and among those cracks, there was a large crack that was over seventy feet long and twenty feet wide at the point closest to the ground.
That was the largest entrance, which majority of the students used to access the mountain!
One could see that many people were barging into the mountain, and even more were being ejected rapidly after being surrounded by its magnetic field.
Only a small number of those who were being ejected by the magnetic field left empty handed. The majority of them were carrying some objects, and even though they appeared to be broken fragments, the looks of excitement on the students' faces were obvious.
As part of the four major Dao Colleges' efforts to encourage their students, attractive promises were made in which students could choose to withhold a small portion of whatever they retrieved from the mountain. That was why the students were filled with gusto and excitement in their task.
At the same time, it was also because the objects retrieved from the fragment mountain were unique in that they could not be kept within a storage space. Therefore, the four major Dao Colleges did not need to worry about the students' greed. To a certain degree, everything was still fair and square, making this task a great opportunity for students from the four major Dao Colleges to obtain a chance at changing their fates.
Whether one would obtain this opportunity after becoming a True Breath expert depended on one's luck. Incidents of people obtaining treasures from the mountain were not unheard of—in fact, it had happened every single time that the mountain became accessible. The most well-known incident involved the current President of the Federation, who was previously a student from White Deer Dao College. It was said that he obtained a legendary immortal pill from the mountain many years ago!
These stories of opportunities that happened to others spread among the students, making them ever more willing to give their all to completing their mission when the mountain became accessible.
As he watched the cultivators being ejected from the mountain after being surrounded by the magnetic field, Wang Baole licked his lips and prepared to charge toward the fragment mountain's entrance. However, at that moment, a flurry of activity suddenly erupted near the entrance.
”What's that in his arms? Gosh! It's a plant, and it's still alive!”
”This chap has struck it rich!”
”The plant does not appear to be an immortal pill, but it's obvious that it's a valuable treasure of nature!”
In the commotion, a student from White Deer Dao College covered with a magnetic glow was rapidly ejected from the entrance. He was extremely agitated, and even though he had reached the True Breath realm after obtaining a mere six-inch Spirit Root, he was carrying a three-colored plant in his arms. There was even a fruit on the plant giving off a fragrance.
