Chapter three hundred and seventy-two: Peerless Mountains
Chapter 372: The Mountains of Juesheng
After nearly an hour, Wei Shu recovered his body and replenished his spiritual power that had not been fully filled for a month. Suddenly, he felt that this month's journey was not in vain. Although the new realm was not completely consolidated, the spiritual power in his body was obviously much more pure.
"Where are you going?" Wei Shu was still sitting cross-legged on the branch, his thoughts were turning, "On the way here, there was basically no suitable place. Even if there were sufficient spiritual energy, it was occupied by some sects. Alas, life was so miserable. In a month, I didn't encounter a place with beautiful mountains and rivers!"
"However, although it is a bit hard to travel like this, the progress is still quite great. You can't always run away like this!" Wei Shu frowned and was worried. Suddenly, his fingers moved inadvertently, and a monk with the image of a sloppy old man appeared in his mind.
"No! Someone is chasing me, it's coming so fast!" Wei Shu's face changed drastically, "It seems that the throbbing in my heart a month ago was not for no reason!"
"This sloppy old man is definitely a master of the out-of-body stage, otherwise, he would not have had such a fast speed! Maybe he is still in the middle and late stages, and the wind is tight!" Wei Shu's heart was dark, and the light flashed, turning into a purple light, and he rushed into the depths of the dense forest without looking back!
"Huh? Why did that guy run away? Could it be that he actually discovered me? It's impossible! Just relying on his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, even if his spiritual consciousness is strong, how could he discover a situation thousands of miles away?" Taoist Xiang Ping's spiritual consciousness always stared at Wei Shu, and when he saw Wei Shu flying away, he was naturally surprised.
"Hmph! What can I do if I find me? It's just a dying struggle!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Taoist Xiang Ping's mouth, and he snorted contemptuously. The speed under his feet increased sharply, and the gray light flashed by, and the person had disappeared.
"Huh? This kid is quite fast! Hehe, is this the so-called survival instinct?" Taoist Xiang Ping sneered, then his face changed drastically as if he was thinking of something: "This kid actually... flew to the first evil place in the Central Plains... Juesheng Mountains?!"
Taoist Xiang Ping could no longer remain calm, his face showed anxiety, and even a hint of fear flashed through him. It was obvious that even with his cultivation, he was very afraid of Juesheng Mountain.
Juesheng Mountain is the most evil place in the Central Plains. It’s not bad for low-level monks. After all, they don’t have a wide range of knowledge and have never even heard of the term Juesheng Mountain. However, among high-level monks, these four words are definitely a fear of talking about them and being afraid of hearing them!
This mountain range was not like this more than a thousand years ago. It is said that it is a treasure land with beautiful mountains and rivers. Various rare weapons and alchemy materials are often unearthed, and there are even small and top-quality spiritual veins!
The best spiritual vein is the best quality spiritual vein in the mortal world, and it is simply incomparable to the higher spiritual vein. Even in the entire Central Plains' large immortal cultivation world, there is no possibility of the best spiritual vein!
However, this mountain range was not occupied by any sect, which seemed a bit strange. However, almost all the masters in the Nascent Soul stage knew the internal factors, oh, it could also be said to be the invisible rule!
That is, the geographical location of this mountain range!
As we all know, the Central Plains monk world is composed of immortal cultivators and divine practitioners, divided into two major camps, opposite north and south, with the same force as water and fire, and it is impossible to blend together!
The two major systems and two major camps occupy the north and south respectively. Because the cultivators pursue the elegance and outstriving immortal path and are widely accepted by the world, the number of cultivators is far more than that of the Divine Walkers, which also causes the Divine Walkers to occupy less than 40% of the territory in the Central Plains!
Although there are few Divine Walkers, their strength is strong. At the same level, the cultivators are almost steadily suppressed. Therefore, the cultivators are also very afraid of them!
This has caused the Juesheng Mountains in the past, although they were rich in resources, but no sect occupied it, because Juesheng Mountains are at the settlement of the two major camps!
It is conceivable that if either side wants to take Juesheng Mountain for themselves, the other side will definitely disagree. In this way, friction between the two sides is inevitable, small battles occur every day, and large wars continue!
Over the past few decades, both sides suffered heavy losses. In the end, it was the top masters of both sides who came forward. After some discussion, they turned the Juesheng Mountains into a free zone, and neither side could occupy it!
However, the resources of the Juesheng Mountains are shared by both parties. As for the encounters and fights of individual monks, they can’t control so much!
Since then, the Juesheng Mountains have been calm for a while, and the reason why everyone is scared to talk about it is entirely because the battle that swept the entire Central Plains a thousand years ago!
The most tragic battle happened in the Juesheng Mountains. Countless monks followed one after another. The monks who participated in that battle could be killed or injured as many as 80% of them!
The monk who was lucky enough to die was also seriously injured. He was unable to improve his cultivation. He fell into the long river of life. He only had a few dozen people slightly injured and escaped, but he basically broke through the original realm and marched to a higher realm!
As for Taoist Xiang Ping, this sloppy old man, is one of the dozens of people. He is now in the late stage of out-of-body cultivation and is currently known to have the highest cultivation level in the mortal world!
Since that battle, the Juesheng Mountains have been covered with a faint grey mist, and a shield similar to a protective layer has been formed in the mountains near the center, completely isolating the outside world, and can only enter but not exit!
Once a monk below the Nascent Soul stage enters the gray fog, he will fall to the ground and faint and be gradually corroded by the gray fog. Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not go deep into the Juesheng Mountains because the layer of guards in the Juesheng Mountains have no fixed location, and no one can predict whether it will be on the edge of the Juesheng Mountains!
Once you enter the guard of Juesheng Mountain, it will definitely be a result of going but not returning. There was once a master of the out-of-body stage who did not believe in evil, and made sufficient preparations to enter Juesheng Mountain, but never walked out again!
This also explains why the irritability in Xiang Pingdao Ren's heart came. He had experienced that tragic battle, and no one was more reluctant to enter the Juesheng Mountains than him!
"No! You must cut off the boy before entering the Juesheng Mountains. Otherwise, once you enter it, you will be trapped and you will not be able to get it back!" Xiang Pingdao Ren's face turned sharp, and his face suddenly turned pale. It was obvious that he had used some secret technique and his speed suddenly doubled!
As soon as he accelerated, Wei Shu immediately felt the magical power of the Heaven-Take Hand, and his face changed drastically, "Did this old guy use any secret method? Why did it become so fast? If this continues, it won't take long to catch up!"
Wei Shu had no hope for the middle and late stage cultivator of Out-of-body stage. Although he had many magic weapons and had practiced the immortal skills, he could even grind him to death!
Wei Shu's face turned fierce, and he bit his tongue and spewed out a mouthful of blood, which clotted but did not dissipate, and quietly hanged in front of his chest. Wei Shu made magic tricks with both hands, and then he saw that the mouth of blood flashed with a strange scarlet light, turning into blood mist to wrap Wei Shu.
With a bang, Wei Shu shot out like a cannonball, almost a few breaths, and it was already hundreds of miles away!
This secret technique was learned from the "Blood Killing Sutra", which consumes his own essence and blood and uses it as a guide to obtain a speed of several times the limit. This multiple depends on the amount of essence and blood that the caster can contribute. The more essence and blood, the greater the multiple!
Of course, this multiple has an upper limit, and as the cultivation level increases, the upper limit increases, but the maximum is only ten times!
With Wei Shu's cultivation level, he can perform at most five times at this time, which is at the cost of losing one-third of his essence and blood, and his speed is obviously amazing!
However, he had this secret method of increasing speed through self-harm. How could Xiang Pingdao Ren not have it as a late-stage monk in the out-of-body stage?
Seeing that Wei Shu's speed increased sharply to five times, the distance between the two instantly increased by a hundred miles. The old Taoist Xiang Ping's face sank and became fierce, and he also used the secret technique. Although the speed did not increase by five times as much as Wei Shu, it was nearly three times!
As a result, the distance between the two gradually decreased. Wei Shu was anxious, but he had no choice but to try his best to calm himself down and how to face the current crisis!
In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two was less than three hundred miles apart!
At this time, Wei Shu was all the way to blood and his spiritual sense paid attention to Taoist Xiang Ping, who was chasing him closely behind. Suddenly, he saw a continuous mountain range appearing in front of him.
However, this mountain range is indescribable and is shrouded in a thick layer of gray mist. Before others approach, they feel a depressing breath, which makes people almost breathless!
"Where is this place? So weird?" Wei Shu was stunned, still at the same speed, and kept rushing into the mountains.
"Boy, don't you want to live anymore?" A loud shout suddenly came from his ear, and it turned out to remind Taoist Ping. Wei Shu couldn't help but shocked, and his speed was a little slower.
"Boy, don't you know? That's the most evil place in the Central Plains, the mountain range of sacrosanthemum! There is in and out, there is death and no life!" Taoist Xiang Ping saw that Wei Shu was still not stopping, and shouted in a hurry.
"Hmph! Who are you? Why are you chasing me?" Wei Shu snorted coldly.
"I am Taoist Xiang Ping of Liantian Gate. I am chasing you because I want to get the first treasure of Liantian Gate, the Four Symbol Array Map and the Array Flag!" In an emergency, Taoist Xiang Ping did not care about concealing his identity and directly expressed his purpose: "As long as the Four Symbol Array Map and the Array Flag are returned, I can not pursue the rest!"
"Oh? Really? Are you keeping your word?" Wei Shu's speed did not decrease, but he was still galloping.
"Really, I can swear to God!"
"Well? Listen to this person's tone, if he enters it, there will be no return, and he will not dare to chase me in! Is the Juesheng Mountain Range in front really so terrifying? Also, are the Four Symbol Array and the Array Banner really that precious?" A series of questions came to Wei Shu's mind.
"You make your vow first, and I will stop. Otherwise, I would rather enter the Juesheng Mountains than compromise with you!" Wei Shu shouted, saying solemnly to Taoist Ping. He couldn't help but think about his life. Therefore, I would like to guarantee his life first!
"Okay! I swear to the heavens to the Taoist Ping, if my friend returns the treasure of this sect, I will hurt me..."
"My name is Wei Shu!"
"If you hurt your life, I will be killed by thunder in the sky and my soul will be scattered, and I will die a bad death!"
Swish!
A purple light fell and the oath was officially established!
