Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Evil Mountain Range (Seeking Readership)

Chu Jinmo led Han Yi 30 meters away and introduced him to the other youths.

What surprised Han Yi was that,

these young people, after hearing Chu Jinmo’s introduction, did not refuse after their eyes flickered.

Moreover, Han Yi could see that their attitude towards Chu Jinmo was subtle, as if they were somewhat in awe, which baffled him.

However, it wasn’t a good time to ask. Han Yi put this question aside in his heart.

After the mutual introductions,

Han Yi respectfully greeted each of the fellow apprentices, with a humble attitude.

These young people were disciples of the White Tiger Peak, including three at the eighth level of the Qi Cultivation Stage, and two at the ninth level.

One of the youths at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation Stage, named He Fengdi, had experienced the Cave Heaven trials and was ranked 47th in the Inner Peak competition.

Before the Inner Peak competition, the top-ten disciples were rewarded with Foundation Establishment Pills. Many disciples have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and automatically left their inner door disciples’ identities to become elders, enjoying more cultivation resources.

Being ranked 47th also showed that his realm and strength were among the top in the ninth level of Qi Cultivation Stage.

After the introductions, Han Yi stood by the others and listened to the conversation between Chu Jinmo and the five fellow apprentices without interrupting.

During the conversation, the five disciples of the White Tiger Peak showed a subtle sense of awe towards Chu Jinmo. It was clear to Han Yi that it was not faked, even He Fengdi was respectful.

“Status? Or strength?” Han Yi had a guess in his heart.

A moment later,

The Immortal Ship set off at the time of the sixth watch.

Han Yi followed the six people, paying the fare, boarding the ship, and setting off.

From the Xuandan Sect to the Evil Mountain Range, it takes only two days by the Survive Disaster Immortal Ship.

Uneventful all the way.

Two days later,

A continuous mountain range appeared in the eyes of many disciples on the Immortal Ship. Standing atop the Immortal Ship, Han Yi couldn’t help but feel a slight shock as he gazed at the majestic mountain range. This was because, deep within the mountain range, the terrifying aura of evil beasts would occasionally appear and swiftly disappear.

“It is said that the Evil Mountain Range stretches from the far west, all the way along the southeast direction, and reaches the shores of the Eastern Sea. This mountain range connects the Evil Holy Land and the demon cultivators of the Eastern Sea. Although it’s called a mountain range, it’s more like the Evil Clan’s passage.”

“In the depths of the Evil Mountain Range, there are many Foundation Establishment demon cultivators, and occasionally Golden Core demon cultivators appear. It’s not an exaggeration to call it a forbidden area for low-level cultivators. However, in the outer periphery, there are mostly only Qi Cultivation Stage evil beasts and no evil cultivators.”

In the group of seven, He Fengdi looked at the gradually approaching mountain range and spoke softly.

“Senior Brother He, what is the difference between evil beasts and evil cultivators?”

A Qi Cultivation Stage eight-level youth named He Ze asked with confusion.

He Fengdi swept a glance at everyone, saw that all eyes were on him, smiled faintly, and explained.

“Unlike the Human Clan, the road to cultivation for the Evil Clan is easier to start but harder to progress.”

“Many evil species can give birth to evil power and become evil beasts by taking advantage of the rich environment, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, or ingesting precious treasures.”

“Evil beasts refer to evil species that haven’t built their Immortal Path Foundation. Their ranks are divided into first to ninth stages, corresponding to the Cultivator’s Qi Cultivation Stages one to nine. However, evil beasts have strong bodies by nature. Some unique species have innate supernatural powers and are much stronger than cultivators of the same level.”

“Evil cultivators are those who have built Immortal Path Foundations and have begun to transform into their initial human form. By the Golden Core Stage, they completely shed traces of their evil nature and can transform into a complete human body.”

“You don’t need to worry. The Evil Mountain Range is vast and has a width at least as wide as Shu State. Our activity range is absolutely peripheral, and the probability of encountering evil cultivators is about the same as being hit by a meteor from the sky.”

Standing behind everyone, Han Yi had a flash of understanding.

He Ze showed admiration, “Senior Brother He, you know so much.”

He Fengdi shook his head slightly, “It’s not that I know a lot, but rather I happened to participate in the Cave Heaven trials.”

“If you also participate in the Cave Heaven trial, you will have a deeper understanding of the Cultivation World.”

He Ze’s eyes lit up, “Senior Brother He, what is the Cave Heaven trial like?”

He Fengdi’s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible fear.

“If you have the chance, you should witness it personally. It is a broader, more complicated, and crueler world. Nevermind, it’s not worth mentioning.”

Seeing that He Fengdi was not interested in continuing, the others could only feel regretful. In fact, they had asked He Fengdi about the Cave Heaven trials before, but he seemed to have concerns and always kept quiet.

“Alright, we’re almost there.”

“Be on full alert. This time, we are not only hunting evil beasts. We must be prepared for potential ambushes.”

He Fengdi had a solemn expression on his face, sweeping over the others, finally landing on Han Yi, the newcomer, his face still tense.

“Junior Brother Han may not know the situation of this task, let me explain quickly.”

“This time, the inner disciples’ mission is set in the Evil Mountain Range, mainly to train the disciples in life-and-death struggles while avoiding the ambushes of the Blood God Sect’s cultivators.”

“In recent years, the cultivators of the Blood God Sect have hindered our sect. This time, when our sect sends disciples to the Evil Mountain Range to hunt evil beasts, the Blood God Sect will surely assassinate us in secret.”

“If we’re unlucky, we’ll run into them. So, during this trip, we will face not only evil beasts but also possibly the disguised Blood God Sect disciples who act as robbing cultivators.”

“Therefore, please stay on full alert, fight quickly, don’t be complacent, and remember.”

Han Yi’s face grew serious and quickly bowed, responding, “Han Yi understands. Thank you, Senior Brother He for the reminder.”

“Good.”

He Fengdi didn’t say much more. Seeing Chu Jinmo’s face, he allowed Han Yi to join, and at this moment, reminded him of the matters to pay attention to. He had done his duty. If Han Yi still took everything lightly, it wouldn’t be his fault.

At this moment,

Han Yi looked at He Fengdi and couldn’t help but become more interested in the Cave Heaven Trial.

He Fengdi’s body exuded an aura that lingered around him, an aura that could only appear on the Cave Heaven Trial’s 100 disciples, and something he had never seen in other Xuandan Sect disciples.

This indicates that the 100 who went through the Cave Heaven Trial had undergone tremendous changes in just one year. Their experiences must contain great secrets.

Since the first Cave Heaven Trial, the Xuandan Sect didn’t hold a second one. Han Yi guessed there were two reasons: either the results didn’t meet expectations, or the trial quota was too expensive, so expensive that even the Xuandan Sect couldn’t afford another one in a short period.

Han Yi believed it was the latter.

He had noticed during the Inner Peak competition that 99 percent of those who returned from the Cave Heaven Trial had changed, their combat awareness and ability far higher than before.

After the Cave Heaven Trial, Han Yi didn’t see significant breakthroughs in the Xuandan Sect or the Yuan Beast Sect no matter how much turmoil they went through.

Indeed, the Holy Land is different.

It’s expensive for a reason.

Han Yi faced He Fengdi, who was exuding such aura, and though his heart leaped slightly, he estimated his own strength against He Fengdi. He wasn’t sure he could win but was confident that even if he couldn’t win, he could remain undefeated.

This level of strength was also the initial foundation for his decision to act alone.

“We have arrived.”

“All disciples, disembark here.”

“The Immortal Ship will be stationed here until 100 people have gathered or a month has passed. It will then set off to return to the sect.”

“Please, everyone, take care.”

An old man in the Foundation Establishment stage wearing a black robe on the Immortal Ship spoke loudly.

Then, the Immortal Ship slowly descended and stopped as it shook gently, losing its power completely.

“Go quickly!”

After disembarking from the Immortal Ship, He Fengdi waved his hand, leading everyone quickly toward one direction of the mountain range.

Behind him,

Another cultivator at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, three at the eighth stage, and Chu Jinmo and Han Yi at the seventh stage closely followed.

What surprised Chu Jinmo was that Han Yi, with the lowest realm, didn’t lag behind but closely followed the team. His face looked solemn, but there was no trace of fear.

“Junior Brother Han has secrets beyond his Alchemy Skill.”

Chu Jinmo only thought about it for a moment before letting it go.

Every cultivator had secrets, including her, which was normal.

At the same time,

With the three Immortal Ships’ docking, over 300 Xuandan Sect disciples dispersed quickly into the Evil Mountain Range.

Among them, most of them traveled in groups, with as few as three or four people and as many as twenty or thirty. Only a handful of people chose to travel alone.

New policy, step out and land in the Evil Mountain Range..
