Chapter 31: Chapter 29: Challenging Immortal Mountain,
Fighting the Insect Carving
Translator: 549690339
Everyone standing in front of the towering Immortal Mountain felt increasingly insignificant.
If they could use their cultivation, climbing the mountain wouldn’t be so difficult.
But ever since they entered the third stage, everyone felt that their once proud cultivation, vitality, true Qi have all become calm, with their meridians and Dantian all becoming silent.
It seemed as if there was an invisible force sealing their power, no longer providing them with their endless strength.
After sealing their cultivation, they could only rely on their physical strength to climb the mountain, which was quite limited.
They all had mortal bodies, the only thing they could possibly rely on might be their willpower and endurance.
“What’s so hard about climbing a mountain, I’ll go first! Watch me be the first one to reach the top.”
Someone gazed at the mountain top shrouded in the cloud mist, didn’t think it was a big deal and ventured alone into the forest.
To climb the mountain, you must first get through the lush jungle in front of you.
“Ah!”
However, in no time, a scream came from the forest, the earth slightly trembled and there were occasional noises from the tree tops.
Everyone looked around puzzled, not knowing what had happened.
The man emerged again, his face smeared with blood. He was in a panic and pointed towards the depths of the forest:
“There are… there are…”
“Roar!”
Before he could finish, a huge black panther, three meters long, stood on a tree top, let out a roar, silently observing everyone, as if waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Good.
Now, without him saying it, Han Ye understood.
“There are barbarian beasts in the forest!”
“So big and strong, I’ve never seen such a big black panther before.”
“Feels like it has gained sentience from staying in the Immortal Mountain for so long.”
As the crowd discussed, the voice of the internal affairs elder echoed in the void: “I’m not afraid to tell you that all the barbarian beasts of this Immortal Mountain are ferocious spirit birds nurtured and fed by the Dragon Sparrow Sect, specifically set up for this test. If you want to quit halfway, just shout ‘give up’, and specific disciples will come to rescue you.”
“Don’t be bullheaded at that time, insisting on clearing the stage, and then die in the Immortal Mountain. In this case, our Dragon Sparrow Sect is not responsible.”
Seeing such dangers in the deep forest, many people started to hesitate.
Their cultivation was sealed, how could they fight against these ferocious beasts alone?
Just as everyone was hesitating and thinking, someone had already started to warm up at the side.
Han Ye stretched a lazy waist, pressed his leg, loosening his muscles and bones.
Then he took out the iron sword, dagger, throwing knife, embroidered needle… from his package.
These iron objects, carried all the way, finally came in handy.
This scene was seen by many people around them, who started sweating.
What kind of person, would carry so many hidden weapons on his body.
Also, what is the bag of soil ash for?
“Hey, hey… Is this really not considered cheating?”
“It’s hard to imagine who would be carrying so many things on them.”
Han Ye’s actions drew a lot of criticism.
“Senior, it wouldn’t be against the rules to use iron weapons, would it?”
Han Ye asked, just to be on the safe side.
“Except for magic treasures, divine powers and cultivation, everything else is allowed.”
The internal affairs elder replied indifferently.
“Well, then I’m relieved.”
As Han Ye placed the hidden weapons on himself, he heard Tushan Qingli’s voice transmission in his ear.
“Sir, I might not be able to help you in this stage, there are many people behind the scenes watching outside this Immortal Mountain, and the big formation is monitoring everything. If I make a move, it would be evident.”
“It’s okay, I can handle it,”
Han Ye said with a light laugh.
God damn it!
After holding back for two stages, finally, it was his turn with a stage he could handle, and he could vent some of the previous grievances.
Climb the mountain, face barbarian beasts, what’s so difficult about that.
It was just his old profession.
What he was never short of was physical strength.
With the Dragon-Tiger Physique, he had the strength of a thousand jin and could provide him with endless strength. The Dragon and Tiger Breath was almost full, and it was no longer the ten strands from half a year ago, but spread all over his body.
This was one of his hidden cheating methods.
“As for the barbarian beasts, Da Niu, let’s go.”
Han Ye shouted at Wang Da Niu, then picked up the long sword and went into the depths of the forest.
His cultivation might not be eye-catching.
But in this forest, if cultivation was sealed, his strength would rise considerably.
“Alright.”
Wang Da Niu grinned, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and with a big knife on his waist, he followed behind Han Ye.
“Fortunately, I am also prepared.”
The Carpenter Li Chong and Ironsmith Zhao Jin also took out their special skills without any prior agreement.
It was filled with aphrodisiacs, fog grass, and even rare drugs like Beast Lust Scatter.
The other was fully equipped with hidden weapons, which were even more advanced than those prepared by Han Ye. Clearly, there was more up his sleeve.
Compared to a throwing knife, a strong arm crossbow is much better.
Fast and accurate within a range of a hundred meters.
“Wait for me, Brother Han Ye!”
They quickly followed.
Clearly, all of them had heard of Han Ye’s reputation for his Tiger Might and wanted to cling onto him for protection.
Seeing the thorough preparation of these people, Gao Qichang and Liu Lingqi exchanged a glance, paused for a moment, and then also followed.
Witnessing this team take the lead, the others seemed to be sparked into action as well.
A black-robed man with a veil soon moved, jumping up and disappearing into the forest.
With a long sword in hand and her expression hidden behind a veil, Chu Xianyu stepped calmly and unhurriedly into the forest.
Seeing this, the others stopped hesitating and finally surged forward in a throng.
After all, the opportunity only comes once, how could they know if they don’t give it a shot?
The elder in charge of internal affairs watched the departing participants, a faint smile on his face.
On the surface, the third stage was a test of endurance.
In reality, however, it was also an examination of human nature.
“Whoosh!”
An arrow pierced through the throat of the grey wolf, a steady stream of blood seeping out. With the inertia from such massive force, its body stumbled before collapsing onto the ground.
Han Ye emerged from the trees, held up his iron sword, he charged forward and beheaded the gray wolf.
Da Niu’s burly figure came out from behind a tree and high-fived Han Ye.
Liu Lingqi, Gao Qichang, and others looked on in surprise.
Their cooperation was seamless, as if they had been partners for years.
Da Niu’s archery, in particular, paired with his terrifying strength, made their journey relatively unobstructed.
“Let’s continue this way.” said Han Ye, wiping the blade of his sword.
“Agreed.”
Liu Lingqi nodded. She had also brought weapons, but was not yet fully accustomed to fighting in the jungle, and thus could not fully unleash her abilities.
Da Niu pulled out the arrow and retrieved it, scratched his head as he looked up at the peak, and said:
“Don’t you feel that this level isn’t as simple as it seems? I wouldn’t be surprised if there were unknown creatures waiting for us on the mountain.”
“Da Niu, when did you become so clever?” Zhao Jin asked in surprise.
Han Ye laughed and said, “Da Niu may be simple-minded, but he’s not stupid. What he said makes sense. I also think that this level isn’t as simple as it seems, the real test could still be on top of the mountain.”
The team advanced.
Finally, they arrived at the slope of the mountain. All that was left was to climb.
— Bang!
Suddenly, a violent wind erupted from the slope of the mountain.
The gust swiftly blew towards the group. A few guards lost their footing and were blown away, falling into the forest.
The group was horrified and scattered in chaos.
A ferocious winged beast, with the body of a leopards and wings of an eagle, stretched out its wings that were several meters long, and started to screech loudly.
The sound was like a baby’s cry, its long beak and wings of an eagle, a horn on its head. It was a very strange sight.
The sudden gust was so strong that it made the nearby stream water splash all over, like a heavy rain, making it difficult for the group to keep their eyes open. “What’s this beast?!”
Upon seeing this creature, Da Niu seemed dazed.
“Da Niu, watch out!”
Han Ye quickly pulled Da Niu’s arm, just in time, leading him to narrowly avoid the beast’s pecking beak that grazed past Da Niu’s head and crashed into the forest, knocking down several large trees and screeching horribly.
It turned out to be a giant beast with a leopard’s body and eagle’s wings!
“Thanks… Brother Han.”
Having been saved by Han Ye, Da Niu was left with a lingering fear, and immediately snapped out of his daze.
“It seems to be a demon beast. Everyone stick together, we can’t give this beast any opportunity to attack.”
Liu Lingqi drew her sharp sword, wore a solemn expression, and gestured with her eyes for everyone to maintain a defensive formation.
Gao Qichang, seeing this, gravely said, “This is not an ordinary beast, but an exotic Gu-Diao beast. In the Demon Race, it’s a rather annoying type, rare, brutal, it likes to collect jade and eat humans, it likes to live in deep mountains and forests, favoring rivers with water shields, it’s known for deliberately avoiding direct sunlight.”
“Why would the Dragon Sparrow Sect keep this thing?” got Han Ye wondering aloud.
“This creature will be harder to deal with than the previous one.’
