Chapter 124: Under the Thirty-Three Li Mountain

~12 min read 2,273 words

The Thirty-Three Li Mountain seemed to have suddenly risen from the end of the grassland, which was very abrupt.

It was shaped like a pyramid, but not regular. One could see steep cliffs, lush ancient trees, and waterfalls hanging like heavenly rivers from afar.

Li Youyi had seen this mountain peak before.

When he first came to this world, he had looked at it from afar outside Burial Xianzhen and could see it.

The reason he looked from afar at that time was because the giant stone statues standing outside Burial Xianzhen were all looking in the direction of the mountain peak, so he was curious and took a look.

Looking at it again today, many places in the mountain were emitting Dark-Yellow divine light, reflecting the Immortal Mist clouds floating on the mountainside; it was simply a divine mountain and great peak. It was completely different from half a year ago.

The closer the flying giant dragonfly got to it, the more it could feel its terrifying oppressive force, as if it were a wall at the end of the world.

Under the mountain, a winding big river flowed past.

There were also giant stone statues standing by the river, large and small, weighing tens of thousands of jin or hundreds of thousands of jin, all gazing in the direction of the Thirty-Three Li Mountain, like a special ritual.

Li Ling's gaze was deep, secretly observing the scene in front of her: "I never knew that Li Province had such a mysterious realm; this mountain is very unusual, and the mountain momentum contains invisible power, just like an ancient immortal standing in front of one's eyes."

Li Youyi said: "I heard that the reason it is called the Thirty-Three Li Mountain is because a tablet was discovered, and there are inscriptions on the tablet."

"That's right, that stone tablet is at the foot of the mountain." Zuoqiu Ting said.

Li Youyi asked curiously: "I see that this divine mountain covers more than thirty-three li; why is it named like this?"

"It doesn't cover thirty-three li; it is thirty-three li high."

Zuoqiu Ting looked toward the front left. On that vast grassland, countless demon birds were flying, covering the sky and the sun, emitting dense and harsh calls.

Below the black flock of birds, a team of demon cultivators was walking on the ground.

"A large group of demon cultivators from Tianya Ridge have also rushed here, which means that the Five Seas Realm martial cultivators of the Nine Li Clan have already escaped. Brother Sima, you don't have to worry now, right?" Zuoqiu Ting said.

A four-armed golden ape sat on the sedan chair at the very front of the demon cultivator team, holding a magic treasure in each hand. It opened its eyes, revealing eyes like fireballs, and glanced at the three people on the giant dragonfly in the distance, revealing a cold chill.

If it weren't for that inheritor of the Zuoqiu Gate making trouble, Cang Li would have been surrounded and killed; how could it have fallen short of success like this?

Cang Li's younger sister was also quite strange; its fire divine pupils couldn't see through her.

……

Arriving at the big river by the foot of the Thirty-Three Li Mountain, the water roared, and the humidity was thick.

Zuoqiu Ting put the giant dragonfly into the insect bag, and the three walked toward the camp of the Zuoqiu Gate.

Li Youyi looked at the insect bag at his waist, which was only the size of a palm; even if the dragonfly could become large and small, the space was too narrow.

Zuoqiu Ting saw through what he was thinking and said: "This insect bag is refined from the lung lobes of a Five Seas Realm martial cultivator; how large the Qi sea in the lung lobes is, that is how large the space in the insect bag is. However, the success rate of the finished product is very low, and it is difficult to refine one from ten lung lobes. The larger the Qi sea, the greater the difficulty of refining."

"Wait until the future, I will give you a large one."

Li Youyi said: "Doesn't every Five Seas Realm martial cultivator's corpse have considerable value?"

Zuoqiu Ting was slightly startled: "The angle from which you think about problems is quite novel."

The camp of the Zuoqiu Gate was built under a cyan shadow banner more than twenty meters high. Cyan brilliance shrouded the surrounding area, and hundreds or thousands of departed spirit light shadows wearing armor flew around inside, guarding the camp.

Two old men from the Zuoqiu Gate came out to greet them, saluted Zuoqiu Ting, and the three communicated with magic Qi transmission.

Behind, Li Youyi also used magic Qi transmission to ask Li Ling: "The Nine Li Clan has no interest in the treasures in the Thirty-Three Li Mountain?"

Li Ling said, "Immortal Soil, Bone-Calcining Golden Spring, Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herb... any one of these is incomparably precious and a supreme treasure for nurturing descendants. How could the Li clan not want to obtain them?"

"But the Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators and the Five Seas Realm martial cultivators have successively had accidents on the way to Burial Xianzhen; this is a signal that a great war is about to break out. The older generation of the Nine Li Clan can naturally only give up the interests in the Immortal Realm space and instead take the opportunity to lay out the outside world, possibly striking first to attack the Four Great Sects."

Li Youyi sniffed, attracted by a cyan python in the big river behind the camp.

This cyan python was more than thirty meters long, with a body diameter of more than one meter, a head as huge as a house, eyes like lanterns, and scales like cast bronze.

The fishy smell emitted from its body was very thick.

Standing on top of the cyan python's head was a young man with his upper body exposed, carrying a dense and heavy battle saber on his back, his eyes revealing a wildness.

After seeing Li Youyi and Li Ling, he drove the cyan python to the camp, flew down, and smiled: "Li Ling, is this Sima Tan?"

Li Ling nodded.

The young man carrying the battle saber hurriedly bowed and saluted Li Youyi: "I am Shang Zhi of the Beast Li tribe. Thank you, Brother Sima, for your full support on the road of the Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators. The Nine Li Clan will definitely remember this favor. Haha, it's just a pity that I couldn't be present at the time and couldn't witness Brother Sima's demeanor of killing the Four Great Sects with his own strength."

The direct line of the Yao Li tribe is surnamed "Yao", the direct line of the Beast Li tribe is surnamed "Shang", and the direct line of the Qi Li tribe is surnamed "Qi".

There are also many direct descendants who have been given the Li surname by the Nine Li Divine Temple, which is regarded as a very high honor.

Li Youyi was not a lonely and cold person, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Shang, were you also invited by the Zuoqiu Gate?"

"Young Master Zuoqiu has done the Li clan a great favor; it is only right that I return a small favor." Shang Zhi lowered his voice again: "Besides, there are far more Cloud-Dyeing Exotic Herbs in the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain than elsewhere. If we can harvest enough to transform into a Pure Immortal Body, that would be a huge profit!"

Transforming into a pure immortal body is the obsession of countless martial cultivators.

Which of those inheritor seeds is not a pure immortal body?

Among the power holders of major forces, the proportion of pure immortal bodies is very large.

Shang Zhi was not a pure immortal body, but he was valued by Zuoqiu Ting, which shows how fierce his combat power at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm was.

He was likely one of the few Nine Springs Supreme People in the younger generation of the Nine Li Clan.

Zuoqiu Baiming walked out of the house in the camp.

He was a pure immortal body at the second realm of the Five Seas Realm, more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders and long arms, and had a strong aura of a strong person. He stared at the three of them lightly and walked toward Zuoqiu Ting.

Zuoqiu Baiming transmitted with magic Qi: "Why is it another mortal? Has the Nine Li Clan fallen so badly? At the first realm of the Five Seas Realm, there isn't even a pure immortal body that has opened the Ancestral Field?"

An old man from the Zuoqiu Gate said: "Stop complaining, this time entering the mountain, you lead the team. They will help do some dirty work and hard work."

Zuoqiu Baiming sighed and said: "I am afraid of being dragged down by them. Anyway, if they die in the mountain, don't blame me for not taking action to save them. Hey, it's just that I didn't have time to bring too many people this time; otherwise, why would I invite people from the Nine Li Clan?"

"Sima Tan's strength is still very strong and will be your important help." Zuoqiu Ting said.

Zuoqiu Baiming showed a look of disapproval.

Zuoqiu Ting walked toward the three of Li Youyi and smiled: "The Immortal Mist clouds of the Thirty-Three Li Mountain will become incomparably thick every three days. Only at this time can Five Seas Realm martial cultivators enter the mountain. There are still a few hours before entering the mountain next time; you should rest and reorganize first."

"By the way, even under the mountain, it is not a safe place. Several strange murder cases have already occurred, suspected to be the work of departed spirits. You must not walk out of the area covered by the cyan light of the shadow banner."

Li Youyi had no mood to rest: "I want to go find the Golden Spring first."

Zuoqiu Ting said: "You can, but don't go too far. Under the Thirty-Three Li Mountain, Five Seas Realm experts from multiple forces have already gathered; don't be targeted by enemies!"

Li Youyi and Li Ling walked out of the camp and searched for the Golden Spring among the mountain cliff stone walls along the river channel near the mountain body.

Li Youyi prepared to solve the doubts in his heart and asked tentatively first: "Li Ling, how do you know there is a chance to find the Golden Spring under the mountain? Have you been here before?"

"Heard it from other Five Seas Realm martial cultivators." Li Ling searched on her own.

Li Youyi said again: "How long have you been a complete pure immortal body transformation?"

"It was the Golden Crow blood given by the senior brother..."

Li Ling looked sideways and said: "What exactly do you want to ask?"

Li Youyi stopped beating around the bush and said: "How exactly can you accurately find me every time? I wear a high-grade magic night-walking suit, but I can't hide it from your perception. Is the ability of the Underworld Lamp Guide so mysterious?"

Li Ling had a countermeasure: "I know what you are doubting, feeling that I did something to you. Have you heard of Perception Wisdom?"

Li Youyi said: "The Underworld Lamp Guide who opens Perception Wisdom can be called a Priest Inheritor, possessing the ability to predict good and bad luck."

"There is another ability..." Li Ling said.

Before she could finish, Li Youyi said first: "When a priest or priest inheritor truly falls in love with a man, no matter how far apart they are, they can find him through perception."

"Since you know, why do you insist on asking?"

Li Ling stomped her feet, turned her head away shyly, her snow-white cheeks covered in red clouds like rouge.

Li Youyi didn't think this was the real answer; Li Ling was a master of acting, but how to falsify it was a headache.

"I shouldn't have been the villain to disturb the two of you in love, but you are going further and further, and I am very worried. How about it, did you find the Golden Spring?"

Zuoqiu Ting shook his folding fan and stepped on the water, looking as handsome as a banished immortal.

"Not easy to find."

Li Youyi shook his head and asked: "Young Master Zuoqiu's disguise technique is truly exquisite, but why disguise yourself as the Dragon Gate inheritor? Is there any reason?"

Zuoqiu Ting landed on the shore and came near them: "There is no reason, just purely because Long Ting's appearance is too handsome, making people envious and jealous. To tell you the truth, although I am a pure immortal body, my skin is only white and flawless, and my appearance is really not elegant; my ears are big and my nose is collapsed, my teeth are protruding and my mouth is crooked, and my figure is even short and thin among men, often being laughed at. So, you see, although I come from a high-ranking family, it is very difficult to be perfect since childhood."

"In addition, the disguise technique is actually a very remarkable skill. If you can practice it to the point where you can completely change into another person. Brother Sima, can you imagine what this means?"

Li Youyi thought carefully, and his eyes became more and more burning.
