Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227: Offending the Holy Mountain? (3 updates)
Brother Han was still a bit dazed; he couldn’t believe that the high-level spirit weapon he’d painstakingly gathered was so vulnerable before the Divine Concealnt Sword.
Damn it, what kind of courage did I muster to dare to challenge him one-on-one?
At this mont, when he looked at Ye Haochuan again, there was not a shred of previous arrogance, only shock and deep fear.
However, it’s too late to regret at this point. Ye Haochuan didn’t even give him a chance to beg for rcy, slicing Brother Han’s throat with one swift stroke.
After all, they’ve already completely antagonized the Ji Family this ti, so there’s no need to show any leniency.
The others watched, eyes wide, as Brother Han, whom they held in high regard, was killed in one stroke by Ye Haochuan, feeling as though their worldview was collapsing.
Oh my god, what kind of weapon is this that even high-level spirit weapons are like tofu before it?
“We can’t beat him, run!” A disciple suddenly shouted, quickly turning to run backward.
The others snapped out of their daze and fled, no longer caring about their wailing kin on the ground.
“Can you escape?” Ye Haochuan chuckled softly and said to the Divine Concealnt Sword, “Go!”
The Divine Concealnt Sword quivered at the command, emitting a joyous hum, transforming into a red light streak, tracing a dazzling red line in the air, instantly piercing through the figures of three people.
“This is… sword control? How is that possible?” The three were shocked, reluctantly falling to the ground.
Sword control is not a high-level skill, but on the Holy Peak where there is no spiritual energy, how could soone possibly control a sword?
They didn’t know, of course, that Ye Haochuan wasn’t controlling the sword with spiritual energy but rather the sword spirit itself was in control.
While the Holy Peak suppresses spiritual energy and diminishes the power of magical treasures, it cannot suppress the sword spirit. Undoubtedly, on the Holy Peak, the Divine Concealnt Sword would be Ye Haochuan’s strongest reliance.
At the mountain base, Ouyang Zhu personally witnessed the entire fighting process. His face was heavy with gloom, as cold as if it could drip water.
“Deacon Ouyang, should we continue to send others to encircle and kill?” the guard tentatively asked.
“Hell no, sending Ji Family’s disciples to their deaths, how will I have peaceful days back at the Ji Family?” Ouyang Zhu slapped the guard flying angrily.
The people around were shaken by Ouyang Zhu’s imposing manner, not daring to say a word.
“Look quickly, Young Master Yu has ascended to the fourth step!” Soone suddenly exclaid, and everyone’s gaze turned to the mountain top.
“Young Master Yu is really strong! It’s been less than an hour since he reached the third step, and now he has ascended to the fourth step. I said it, how could that boy be faster than Young Master Yu! Obviously, Young Master Yu was hiding his strength before!”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhu’s originally troubled mood lightened instantly. Even though he can’t stop Ye Haochuan from advancing, as long as Ji Tianyu receives the inheritance, Ye Haochuan will be done for.
On the Holy Peak, Ye Haochuan quickly organized the wound on his back.
Although the Holy Peak suppresses spiritual energy, it isn’t able to suppress healing skills. Ye Haochuan gave himself a few stitches, imdiately stopping the injury, reducing the pain to its lowest.
After dealing with this, Ye Haochuan didn’t linger anymore and continued forward.
Once again transitioning through the various assembled worlds, Ye Haochuan’s mind rapidly pondered.
If among these nurous routes, only one leads to the next step, how’s that different from searching for a needle in a haystack?
Each space has hundreds if not thousands of paths; how many paths should there be for several spaces? If one were to traverse each path, it would take an eternity!
“No, I must find a shortcut!” Ye Haochuan stopped and looked around.
Though the Holy Peak is challenging to climb, it is ant to test people, not to block them. As long as it’s a test, there’ll be a correct answer, not letting everyone find the way using the most ti-consuming, clumsy thods.
This was the Rubble World Ye Haochuan first entered; besides rubble, there seed to be nothing else around. However, Ye Haochuan spotted a snow-white peak in the distance.
“Another… peak top?” Ye Haochuan murmured, frowning.
Having experienced the first stage, Ye Haochuan was already suspicious of this direction towards the peak top. Though it appears to be a direction, it could be an illusion, keeping one turning in circles.
Finding no other clues, Ye Haochuan stepped out again, entering the Volcano World. What puzzled him was, among the nurous towering volcanoes, there was also a snow-white peak.
Ye Haochuan frowned again, lost in thought.
Continuing to step forward, the next was the Desert, likewise having a snow-white peak.
Ye Haochuan’s frown suddenly relaxed, and his lips curled into a slight smile.
Advancing again, it was the sa in the Thorn World.
Ye Haochuan grinned, heading towards the snowy peak’s direction.
The next mont, the world shifted; he remained resolute, advancing toward the snowy peak. Every world had a snow peak, but Ye Haochuan felt all the snow peaks were in the sa position.
This path seed long; it took Ye Haochuan an hour to reach the snowy peak’s location.
When he stepped onto the snowy peak, he heard a “crack,” as several worlds appeared to shatter instantly, revealing a lush, green world before him.
“It’s really simple, so why do so many people fail to walk out of this second stage?” Ye Haochuan muttered, pursing his lips.
“Indeed, it’s simple, but due to the first stage, many people doubted the direction. This doubt prevented them from unwaveringly committing to that direction, hence they couldn’t exit!”
The sudden voice startled Ye Haochuan. He turned to see, surprisingly, an elegant woman as graceful as a fairy.
Ye Haochuan’s eyes brightened, almost sticking his eyes on the woman’s body. But in the next mont, the woman’s aura emanated, startling Ye Haochuan into a shiver, and unexpectedly, he couldn’t muster any disrespectful thoughts toward her.
“Who are you?” Ye Haochuan asked, trembling.
“I am the lord of this mountain!” the woman replied coldly. “Do you realize you’ve offended the Holy Mountain?”
“Offended the Holy Mountain? I simply ca to take the test, how could I have offended the Holy Mountain?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
“Hmph! Each step up this mountain defies the heavens. You’ve offended heaven, haven’t you also offended the Holy Mountain?” the woman snorted coldly.
Damn, what’s this got to do with heaven? All cultivators defy the heavens in their cultivation, yet heaven hasn’t tried to annihilate all cultivators, right?
Ye Haochuan was very disdainful in his heart, but for so reason, when he saw the woman’s authoritative gaze, he couldn’t utter a word to counter.
Instead, the more he thought, he strangely felt the woman made sense.
“Did I really offend heaven?” Ye Haochuan suddenly felt lost, but soon a voice within him erged, making him involuntarily utter a sentence.
“I only wish to grow stronger, naturally challenging the heavens. But if heaven aims to block , then how about defying heaven itself?”
