788: Chapter 699: Strange 788: Chapter 699: Strange Twilight was approaching, and Ye Fan, stepping onto the flying shuttle, swiftly headed toward the summit deep in the forest with Su Liuli and Lv Zhan.
Looking into the distance, the western sky was dyed a bright red, the primitive forest below shimred with golden light, and the distant peaks were enveloped in white mist, giving off a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
For so reason, looking at the distant peaks, Ye Fan felt an uneasy feeling stirring within him.
“What’s wrong?”
Having noticed Ye Fan’s unease, Su Liuli asked with concern.
“It’s nothing, just that I feel there’s sothing strange about the lair of the mutant beast.” Ye Fan shook his head and then added.
“There is indeed sothing strange about it.”
Upon hearing this, Lv Zhan replied, “After I first arrived on the Australia Continent, I spoke with local cultivators.
They ntioned that many years ago, there were no mutant beasts in this primitive forest.
Later, for so unknown reason, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in this area began to thicken, and then mutant beasts began to appear in the primitive forest, and their numbers have been increasing ever since.”
“Moreover, I’ve heard from local cultivators that deep in the forest, to be precise, the mountain where the lair of the Gang Qi Realm mutant beast is located, holds significant mysteries.
There are many mutant beasts on that mountain, and their strength is impressive.
Many of them are comparable in power to human Half-step Gang Qi realm Cultivators.
Besides, it’s said that there are nurous killing arrays on that mountain.
Over the years, local cultivators have tried to ascend the mountain continuously, only to be killed by mutant beasts or formations.”
“Hasn’t anyone powerful gone to find out what’s going on?” Su Liuli asked, puzzled.
“Junior sister, did your master tell you what was in the mutant beast lair?” Lv Zhan asked with a smile.
Su Liuli shook her head.
Lv Zhan then looked at Ye Fan: “Evil Emperor, or Master Yan, have they told you what’s in the mutant beast lair?”
“No.”
Ye Fan also shook his head, then caught sothing faintly and asked, “Brother Lv, do you know so insider information?”
“To call it insider information is sowhat correct.”
Lv Zhan nodded and then made a startling statent: “No one in this world knows what’s inside the mutant beast lair.”
“What?!”
Startled by Lv Zhan’s words, both Ye Fan and Su Liuli were shocked.
For them, this news was incredibly shocking — the War God Alliance calling geniuses from the various Alliances to gather here to kill mutant beasts, yet not knowing what lies within the lair of the beasts was utterly absurd!
“This may sound absurd, but it is indeed the fact.”
Lv Zhan said earnestly, “Because, according to what local cultivators have said, cultivators above the Gang Qi Introduction Realm cannot enter that mountain.
In other words, only those below the Gang Qi Great Success Realm can climb the mountain and possibly enter the mutant beast lair.”
—”
If before Ye Fan and Su Liuli were only astonished, now they were utterly shocked, staring at Lv Zhan with their eyes wide, their faces filled with disbelief.
“You don’t have to look at like that.
I was more shocked than you when I first heard this information, but later, when I learned the ins and outs, I was sowhat relieved,” Lv Zhan said.
“What are the ins and outs?”
Ye Fan and Su Liuli asked in unison.
“The events that led to changes in this primitive forest didn’t happen long ago; it hasn’t even been a decade.
At first, the cultivators here didn’t notice anything particularly strange with that mountain peak, they just found the increase in mutant beasts in the forest and saw it as a good place for training.
Lately, more precisely three years ago, as the number of cultivators training in this area increased, the number of mutant beasts plumted.
Cultivators began to venture deeper into the Primitive Forest and discovered that the closer they got to the inner forest, the more nurous and powerful the mutant beasts beca.
At the sa ti, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi growing abundantly around that mountain peak!
This matter alerted the Australian Cultivation World, and so strong cultivators sent people to investigate the truth of that mountain peak.
Of course, “strong” here is relative—in the sparse population of the Australian Cultivation World, strong people were few and far between, and the strongest among them was only at the Gang Qi Great Success Realm.
Initially, a few Half-step Gang Qi realm Cultivators from the Australian mainland went to investigate, but once they went, they never returned.
Later, several strong people at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm went together, but still, none ca back.
It wasn’t until Australia’s strongest cultivator personally went that the peculiarity of that mountain peak was discovered—cultivators above the Gang Qi Great Success Realm could not enter!
This discovery made the cultivator nad Carter feel very strange, and he believed that there was a big mystery, perhaps even a treasure on the mountain peak.
For this reason, he kept the inside story to himself, secretly trying various ways to enter the mountain, but all efforts fell short.
Subsequently, the Arican Cultivator Alliance learned about the mysteries of this forest and the deaths of many, and Xi Wei’er sent people to investigate.
Seeing that he could no longer keep it secret and that he himself could not enter, Carter reported the information.
Just like Carter, Xi Wei’er was quite shocked when he learned of this news.
He also kept it secret and ca personally to verify it, finding out that Carter hadn’t lied, and that he himself could not enter either!
Because on that mountain there was a mystical Array, which could sense the strength of cultivators.
Once a cultivator’s strength exceeded the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, they would be repelled, unless they forcibly broke through the Array!”
As Lv Zhan reached this point, he paused.
“Then what?”
Both Ye Fan and Su Liuli were drawn in and couldn’t help but ask.
“Then, Xi Wei’er sent out six Gang Qi Introduction Realm cultivators to protect his son Hughes, as they ascended the mountain together.
As a result, except for Hughes, all six Gang Qi Introduction Realm cultivators died on that mountain.”
As Lv Zhan spoke to this point, his tone suddenly beca solemn, “In other words, Hughes should be the only person in the world who has ascended that peak and is still alive.”
“If Hughes knows what’s on the mountain, but isn’t eagerly entering it, and instead leads the younger generation of the Arican Cultivation World to chase after you, there’s definitely sothing fishy going on!” Ye Fan made a judgnt.
“Mhm, indeed,”
Lv Zhan nodded and said, “The only reason I know about these ins and outs is that I overheard Hughes’s conversation with that black youth by chance.
According to Hughes, the mountain peak is quite likely a Holy Land of the Ancient Cultivation World, with huge opportunities and equally great risks.
Originally, he and the six cultivators protecting him only reached halfway up the mountain when they accidentally entered a terribly frightening Killing Array from which he was lucky to escape alive.
This ti, according to his plan, he intends to use my death to attract you to the Australian mainland, while letting other alliance geniuses beco cannon fodder to scout ahead.
When the ti cos, after the older generation of cultivators from the Three Great Alliances has killed you, he will lead the elder Gang Qi Introduction Realm cultivators and many geniuses of the Arican Cultivator Alliance to climb the mountain and compete for the opportunities!”
“So that’s it,”
Ye Fan said, feeling a bit curious, “Why would he discuss all this in front of you?”
“I overheard this the first ti I encountered them.
At that ti, I was hidden in a secluded place, concealing my aura, imrsed in the inspiration of Martial Arts, not noticing them at first.
I happened to hear these secrets, but then I was discovered by Hughes and the black youth, and they’ve been pursuing ever since.”
Lv Zhan chuckled bitterly, then added, “The geniuses from the other major alliances, although they know from the local cultivators that there is sothing unusual about the mountain peak and that there are not only mutant beasts but also Arrays, but they don’t know the seriousness of it.”
“It seems we need to be more careful,”
Even as Ye Fan spoke, he was filled with doubts.
“What exactly is on that mountain?”
“Why only cultivators below the Gang Qi Great Success Realm can enter?”
He wondered silently to himself.
