Chapter 125
The Thirty-Three Mile Mountain looked like it had suddenly risen from the end of the grassland, 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.
When he first came to this world, he had looked at it from afar outside the Burial Immortal Town and could see it.
The reason he looked at it from afar at that time was because the giant stone statues standing outside the Burial Immortal Town 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 mysterious yellow divine light, reflecting the dawn glow and clouds floating on the mountainside; it was simply a divine mountain. 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 sense of oppression, like a wall at the end of the world.
At the foot of the mountain, a winding big river flowed past.
There were also giant stone statues standing by the river, big and small, some tens of thousands of catties, some hundreds of thousands of catties, their eyes all gazing in the direction of the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, like a special ritual.
Li Ling's eyes were deep, secretly observing the scene before her: "I never knew that Lizhou still had such a mysterious realm; this mountain is very unusual, the mountain momentum contains invisible power, just like an ancient immortal standing before one's eyes."
Li Youyi said: "I heard that the reason it is called the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain is because a tablet was discovered, and there are inscriptions on the tablet."
"That's right, the 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 miles; why is it named like this?"
"It doesn't cover thirty-three miles; it is thirty-three miles high."
Zuoqiu Ting looked toward the front left; on that vast grassland, countless monster birds were flying, covering the sky and the sun, making dense and harsh calls.
Below the black swarms of birds, a team of monster cultivators walked on the ground.
"A large number of monster cultivators from Tianya Ridge have also rushed here, which means the Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu of the Nine Li tribe have already escaped. Brother Sima, you don't have to worry now, right?" Zuoqiu Ting said.
A four-armed golden ape sat on the palanquin at the very front of the monster cultivator team, each hand holding a magic tool. It opened its eyes, revealing eyes like fireballs, looked at the three people on the giant dragonfly in the distance, and revealed a cold chill.
If it weren't for the successor of the Zuoqiu Gate meddling, Cang Li would have been surrounded and killed; how could it have failed like this?
Cang Li's sister was also quite strange; its fire divine pupils couldn't see through her a bit.
Arriving at the big river bank at the foot of the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, the water roared, and the humidity was thick.
Zuoqiu Ting put the giant dragonfly into the bug bag, and the three of them walked toward the camp of the Zuoqiu Gate.
Li Youyi looked at the bug bag at his waist, which was only the size of a palm; even if the dragonfly could become big or small, the space was too narrow.
Zuoqiu Ting saw through his thoughts and said: "This bug bag is refined from the lungs of a Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu; how big the gas sea in the lungs is, that's how big the space in the bug bag is. However, the success rate is very low; it's difficult to refine one from ten lungs. The bigger the gas sea, the more difficult the refining."
"In the future, I will give you a big one."
Li Youyi said: "Doesn't that mean every Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu's corpse has considerable value?"
Zuoqiu Ting was slightly startled: "Your angle of thinking about the problem is a bit novel."
The camp of the Zuoqiu Gate was built under a green shadow banner more than twenty meters high. Green light covered 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 of them communicated via magic power transmission.
Behind, Li Youyi also used magic power transmission to ask Li Ling: "Is the Nine Li tribe not interested in the treasures in the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain?"
Li Ling said: "Immortal soil, bone-calcining golden spring, dawn-dyed exotic medicine... any one of them is precious, a treasure for cultivating the younger generation; how could the Nine Li tribe not want to obtain them?"
"But the Spring Realm Wu Xiu and the Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu have successively had accidents on the way to the Burial Immortal Town; this is a signal that a big war is about to break out. The older generation of the Nine Li tribe naturally can only give up the interests in the immortal world space and instead take the opportunity to lay out the outside world, possibly taking the initiative to attack the four major sects."
Li Youyi sniffed, attracted by a green python in the big river behind the camp.
This green python was more than thirty meters long, its body diameter exceeded one meter, its head was as huge as a house, its eyes were like lanterns, and its scales looked like they were cast from bronze.
The fishy smell it emitted was extremely thick.
Standing on top of the green python's head was a young man with his upper body exposed, carrying a dense heavy battle knife on his back, his eyes revealing a wildness.
After seeing Li Youyi and Li Ling, he drove the green python to the camp, flew down, and smiled: "Li Ling, is this Sima Tan?"
Li Ling nodded.
The young man carrying the battle knife hurriedly bowed and saluted Li Youyi: "I am Shang Zhi from the Beast Li tribe; thank you, Brother Sima, for your full help on the road of the Spring Realm Wu Xiu; the Nine Li tribe will definitely remember this favor. Haha, it's just a pity that I wasn't there at the time and couldn't witness Brother Sima's style of slaughtering the four major sects with his own strength."
The direct line of the Medicine Li tribe was surnamed "Yao," the direct line of the Beast Li tribe was surnamed "Shang," and the direct line of the Vessel Li tribe was surnamed "Qi."
There were also many direct descendants who were given the Li surname by the Nine Li Divine Temple, which was regarded as a very high honor.
Li Youyi was not a cold and arrogant person, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Shang, were you also invited by the Zuoqiu Gate?"
"Young Master Zuoqiu helped the Nine Li tribe a lot; it is only right for me to help a little bit," Shang Zhi said in a low voice again: "Besides, there are far more dawn-dyed exotic medicines in the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain than elsewhere; if we can collect enough quantity and transform into a Pure Immortal Body, that would be a big profit!"
Transforming into a Pure Immortal Body is the obsession of countless Wu Xiu.
Which of those successor 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 is not a Pure Immortal Body, but he was valued by Zuoqiu Ting, which shows how formidable his combat power is at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm.
It is highly probable that he is one of the few Nine Springs Supreme People in the younger generation of the Nine Li tribe.
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, over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and long arms, possessing a strong momentum of a powerhouse; he stared at the three of them lightly and walked toward Zuoqiu Ting.
Zuoqiu Baiming transmitted via magic power: "Why is it another mortal? Has the Nine Li tribe declined so much? 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 out and do some dirty work."
Zuoqiu Baiming sighed: "I'm 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. Alas, it's just that there was no time to bring too many people this time, otherwise why ask people from the Nine Li tribe?"
"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 dawn glow and clouds of the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain will become extremely thick every three days; only at this time can Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu enter the mountain. There are still several hours before the next entry into the mountain; you should rest and reorganize first."
"By the way, even the foot of the mountain is not a safe place; several strange murders have already occurred, suspected to be the work of departed spirits; you must not go out of the area covered by the green light of the shadow banner."
Li Youyi was in no mood to rest: "I want to go find the Golden Spring first."
Zuoqiu Ting said: "You can, but don't go too far. At the foot of the Thirty-Three Mile 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, along the big river near the mountain side, looking for the Golden Spring between the mountain cliffs and stone walls.
Li Youyi prepared to untie the doubts in his heart and asked tentatively first: "Li Ling, how do you know there is a chance to find the Golden Spring at the foot of the mountain? Have you been here before?"
"I heard it from other Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu," 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 high-grade magic tool night-traveling clothes, but I can't hide from your perception; is the ability of the Underworld Lamp Guiding Envoy so mysterious?"
Li Ling had a countermeasure: "I know what you are doubting; you think I did something to you. Have you heard of Perception Wisdom?"
Li Youyi said: "The Underworld Lamp Guiding Envoy who opens Perception Wisdom can be called a Priest Successor, 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 successor 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 filled with rouge-like red clouds.
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 be the villain who disturbs the two of you in love, but you are walking further and further away, 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, handsome like 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 a Dragon Gate successor? Is there any reason?"
Zuoqiu Ting landed on the shore and came near them: "There is no reason; it's 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 just white and flawless, but my appearance is really not elegant, with big ears and a collapsed nose, protruding teeth and a crooked mouth, and my figure is even short and thin among men, often being teased. So, you see, although I come from a high-ranking family and have enjoyed all the wealth in the world since I was a child, it is also very difficult to be perfect."
"In addition, the disguise technique is actually a very remarkable skill, if it can be cultivated to the point of being able to completely change into another person. Brother Sima, can you imagine what this means?"
After Li Youyi thought about it, his eyes became more and more burning.
