Chapter 369: 367. Mountain Suppression at the Gate
In a hundred years, it’s enough to create an extermination squad with demon-slaying crossbows. The top-tier demon-slaying crossbows possess the power to harm those in the Mountain Suppression Realm. If coupled with the accessories’ Vortex Map, they will hold the capability to injure the Mountain Suppression Realm.
This realization came to him when he learned that Lu Hai’s Mountain-Suppressing Armor was breached.
And once the number of powerful demon-slaying crossbows increases, it will become enough to kill those in the Mountain Suppression Realm. By then, the extermination squad with demon-slaying crossbows will definitely be an unstoppable force like an arrow sweeping through everything in its path, helping the Dragon God Sect to rise to fame all at once.
"A new era is about to begin." The bearded man showed an excited smile.
...
Under the shade of the dense forest outside Wind Valley, Lin Kewu sat cross-legged on a pile of fallen leaves and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Boom!
The blue Meridian Gate opened in response.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin." Upon hearing this sound, people nearby immediately came over to offer their congratulations.
Of course, there was inevitably some envy in their hearts.
After all, the Profound Realm and Body Refining Realm are two different worlds.
"Thank you." Lin Kewu’s smile grew broader, unable to be concealed even by the grime on his face.
"Ye Fei, thank you." Lin Kewu stood up, the first person he thanked was naturally Ye Fei.
Because Ye Fei had guarded him for two days.
However, he knew the one he should really thank was the Sect Leader because all of this was bestowed by the Sect Leader.
Although saying ’bestowed’ might be exaggerating, as there was indeed a lot of his own effort and sweat involved, the opportunity was given by Sect Leader Wen. He was merely passing by the Immortal Sect back then.
Ye Fei scratched his head with a smile, "You’re welcome... Well, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave first."
Witnessing the birth of someone so young entering the Profound Realm was truly a fortunate occasion. On any other day, he would have sat down to have a good chat with Lin Kewu, but these past few days had left Zhao Ying busy by herself, and it’s time he returned to assist.
"I’ll treat you to drinks someday."
"Sure." Ye Fei nodded with a smile.
Once Ye Fei left, Lin Kewu closed the Meridian Gate, glancing around briefly.
"Elder Yun, where is the Sect Leader?"
"The Sect Leader is cultivating in the Battle Realm." Yun Liao knew what Lin Kewu wanted to do now, "Enough with words of gratitude; you can say them anytime. For now, hurry back to the dorm area and wash up. Haven’t you noticed your own odor?"
Lin Kewu raised a hand to flick the sticky grime on his arm and immediately nodded, "It really is somewhat disgusting... Alright everyone, see you later, I’m off to bathe... Oh, tonight I’m treating!"
With that, Lin Kewu ran off.
No, to be precise, he hopped.
Happily like a child.
Because the condition Wanyan gave him was to reach the Profound Realm by the age of 25, yet he hadn’t even turned 24 and was already in the Profound Realm, far exceeding the deadline Wanyan gave him originally. Now, Wanyan has no reason to refuse him anymore.
"Elder Qin and the others have come out." At this moment, Zhao Qing suddenly called, prompting Yun Liao and Qin Mo at the forefront of the line outside Wind Valley to immediately enter the valley. Others continued to queue.
"Elder Qin, how is the progress?" Yang Lele, who was enthusiastic in whatever he did and curious, asked.
Qin Shan responded, "Just so-so." After uttering these three words, he prepared to slip away.
Yang Lele was somewhat disappointed, shaking his head, "Why are all the elders like this, keeping everything to themselves?" In this competition, why are the elders unwilling to share their progress with the disciples?
"I think Elder Qingxuan has the best chance of winning." Yang Xi interjected, and of course, this wasn’t without reason. Currently, Zhantian Qingxuan had collected the most Red Stones, and with their assistance, any trial would be akin to adding wings to a tiger’s strength.
"It’s hard to say, Brother Biyue Yi has also been quite proactive in gathering Red Stones." Luo Mi responded.
Just then, Zhantian Ye hurriedly came over.
"Senior Brother Yang, the Sect Leader says if you’re going to wait, you can wait in the Viewing Room."
"Why wait there?" Finally at the forefront of the line, wouldn’t going back to the Viewing Room to watch Immortal Slayer cause him to be left behind? Yang Lele shook his head, "No, if you want to go, take Zhao Qing and the others."
"The Viewing Room allows you to watch the scenes of Wind Valley; I just saw Elder Qin Shan pass through the second stone gate." Zhantian Ye’s words immediately changed the expressions of Yang Lele and the others.
Originally saying they wouldn’t go, they immediately turned to leave.
Qin Shan, who was twenty meters ahead, suddenly changed his expression, feeling a pang of wanting to cry, "I wanted to surprise everyone..." With his plans foiled, it seemed he would also have to make a trip to the Viewing Room.
Knowing how many stone gates he had broken through had been discovered, he couldn’t not go to see the "adversaries" situation now.
Immediately, the group ran towards the dormitory area.
Upon pushing the door open.
Sure enough, the screen showed scenes from Wind Valley.
"Wow, Elder Yun Liao has already extinguished six tornadoes." Yang Lele exclaimed while heading towards the chair, "Elder Yun just chatted with us, saying he’d only broken four tornadoes... How cunning. He intentionally said fewer so that everyone would underestimate him, then he took the chance to seize the Fire Rod.
"Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader."
The crowd immediately bowed.
Wen Ping nodded and then stood up, "You all continue watching here, give yourselves some motivation."
Whether it was for the purpose of stimulating spending, thereby assisting him in completing a side task.
Wind’s Shackles and Hurricane Skill were very significant for their power growth. Naturally, he hoped the disciples of his sect would become stronger, ideally achieving a Body Refinement level comparable to the Profound Realm.
Otherwise, it’d be pointless being a disciple of a Super Sect.
"Mm."
The crowd nodded, promptly sitting down.
Understanding their "adversaries," they were particularly interested now.
Exiting the Viewing Room, Wen Ping initially planned to visit Medicine Mountain but suddenly remembered something.
The Immortal Clear Wind Robe had yet to be sent to the Immortal Sect.
Having been busy all this time, he’d only descended the mountain once to kill Luo River. Because of the Maze Array, only white-listed people could enter the Immortal Sect, so the Immortal Clear Wind Robe that had been made by Yang Zongxian should still be at the Yang residence.
Just as Wen Ping was heading down the mountain, the system’s voice suddenly descended.
This time, it was a direct warning.
"A Mountain Suppression Realm expert is detected approaching the Immortal Sect from the depths of the dense forest, their intentions are malicious!"
"Malicious intentions?" Although Wen Ping was accustomed to days where enemies would come looking for trouble, the sudden arrival of a Mountain Suppression Realm expert was quite surprising to him, "System, where is the Mountain Suppression Realm?"
Standing on the Thousand Layers, Wen Ping overlooked Cangwu City.
The system immediately replied, "Approaching from the side of Yunlan Mountain."
Wen Ping immediately looked toward the place where the city wall bordered Yunlan Mountain, also moving toward the edge of the Maze Array. Indeed, there was a person in the forest making subtle sounds as they approached.
The middle-aged man with a stubbled face showed a cold smile at the sight of Wen Ping, "Sending a kid to guard the mountain, interesting... Seems this Vortex Divine Artisan is opening his arms, ready for me to capture him."
