Chapter 1343: Darknorth Immortal Mountain
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The puppet formation opened as countless experts rushed into it. In just an instant, a shocking battle erupted.
Qin Wentian and the others stood at the back as they observed. These puppets were capable of launching different attacks, and their attacks contained might at the peak of immortal-foundation, capable of destroying everything.
There naturally would be experts joining forces, but this puppet formation was exceedingly marvellous, able to read the situation and react accordingly.
Among the crowd, there were naturally some extremely powerful individuals who had comprehended a trace of immortal-king might. They directly unleashed the power of the laws they comprehended, easily passing through the formation.
"This formation is so wondrous." Qin Wentian commented.
"We intentionally invited a grandmaster of inscriptions to create it, specifically for this purpose." Beiming Nongyue replied.
"Mhm. However, as expected of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, its allure truly drew many experts here over. There are already quite a few who broke past the formation and entered." Qin Wentian smiled.
"This event is held once every ten years and a majority of those who come would usually be the confident ones. Hence, their strength wouldn't be too bad," Beiming Nongyue explained. Qin Wentian nodded, "We should enter too."
"Right. Brother Qin, Fairy Jadestage, let's go in." Li Yufeng laughed. After that, the group of them headed into the formation. Beiming Nongyue didn't join them. She was the host of this event and naturally had to stay behind. Given her status, she could enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain anytime she wanted to.
"Wentian, I'll leave Zhiyin in your care." Wan Zhuqing spoke.
"I'll take care of Mr. Wan. After you all exit the mountain, don't forget to come and visit the royal palace." Beiming Nongyue smiled.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian didn't say thanks but he noted this with gratitude in his heart.
Stepping out, Qin Wentian and the rest also entered the formation. He spoke to Zhiyin, "Zhiyin, you head in first."
"Okay." Zhiyin lightly replied as she entered. Releasing her aura, she was clad in law energy as a huge painting scroll appeared. Pointing her finger out, a sword appeared from within the scroll, emitting sharp sounds of tearing as it flew forwards. Zhiyin followed after the sword.
Only to see that everything near the sword was ripped apart. When it encountered attacks from the puppets, all of them disintegrated. The puppet shone brilliantly once again with light and set out another attack, shattering the sword. But there was an immortal brush in Zhiyin's hand, she lashed out with it, painting a prison that directly locked that puppet up.
"Art as law." Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. Zhiyin's mind was extremely pure, she loves music and art and the law energy she was proficient in was actually so wondrous as well, a complete match for her.
More terrifying swords were drawn by her, sweeping forth with such speed that they created sonic booms, shattering everything that came in contact with them. With a loud thunderous bang, that puppet shattered into nothingness and Zhiyin sped forth with the speed of lightning, bypassing the formation.
"Awesome." Qin Wentian praised. The people of the Wan Clan truly had bad judgement. Zhiyin didn't like combat hence she wouldn't purposely show off her strength. However, that didn't mean that her strength was weak. From what he saw now, her strength was definitely higher compared to Wan Miaoyan.
"Lady Zhiyin's talent is truly outstanding." Li Yufeng also laughed. After that, they too stepped into the formation. Qin Wentian's law energy circulated around him, transforming into currents of destruction that shot towards a puppet.
In just an instant, the puppet was bombarded so badly that it completely burst apart. After that, he easily stepped past it, disappearing completely, passing the test in a domineering manner.
After passing the formation, the entrance to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain could be seen. Zhiyin was waiting there, and after an instant, Qin Wentian and Li Yufeng both appeared with a smile on their faces. She smiled as well, and didn't wonder why Qin Wentian was so powerful. Since both Princess Nongyue and the Saint Child Li Yufeng had a high evaluation of Qin Wentian, his power must be so overwhelming to an extent where she couldn't imagine it.
"Let's go." The group of them entered the mountain range. Before them, numerous majestic mountains could be seen everywhere, cloaked in immortal light. Although they were still very far from the mountains, they could already sense the law energy flowing their way.
By placing the entrance here, the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty must have considered things well. If they placed the entrance deeper in, everyone outside would surely have been affected by the pressure of the law energy.
One mustn't forget that the Darknorth Immortal Mountain was also known as the Law Immortal Mountains.
"Brother Qin, how well do you know the Darknorth Mountains?" Li Yufeng asked.
"I only know that this place is suitable for peak immortal-foundation characters, and recently advanced immortal kings." Qin Wentian replied.
"As expected, that's merely the surface. In fact, even immortal emperors are suited to cultivate in here. Even immortal emperors have no way to see through the secrets of this mountain range. What we are looking at now, is merely the boundary of this place. This boundary is the place the vast majority of people are talking about. But there are many experts in the northern regions that understand how truly terrifying the Darknorth Immortal Mountain is."
Li Yufeng laughed, "If not, why do you think experts from my sect and the Jadestage Immortal Palace would come all the way here? Not only that, there are even other disciples from other major powers here as well. Also, this entrance isn't the only one. The ten-year mark per opening is only a limitation for characters on our strength level. For truly powerful experts, there wouldn't be so many restrictions."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, "Seems like I'm really ill-informed."
"You can't say it like that. After all, at our current level, we don't need to know so much. For the depths of this mountain range, even immortal emperors had no way to see through everything completely. We basically aren't qualified to enter at all. The reputation of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain isn't just for show. In addition, do you know why this mountain is at the side of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty?" As they proceeded forward, the law fluctuations grew stronger and stronger as Li Yufeng smiled and asked Qin Wentian.
"Could it be that the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty was constructed as an empire dependent on the Darknorth Immortal Mountain?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed.
"Smart. The Darknorth Immortal Mountain is a natural treasure ground born from the heavens. Long before the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty existed, the Darknorth Mountain Range was always occupied by peak powers. After that, when the ancient emperors all disappeared and the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty rose up, they immediately built their empire next to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain to control it," Li Yufeng smiled.
"In that case, the strength of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty should be extremely strong." Qin Wentian seemed to be mumbling to himself. Although he had come in contact with the various peak powers, he was only familiar with those powers in the eastern regions. He wasn't that clear on the exact level of strength for the other peak powers in the immortal realms.
"Naturally. If not, how could they protect this sacred land? Even the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty isn't strong enough to forbid the experts from the other powers from coming here to cultivate. If not, they would surely become the target of a multitude of arrows." Li Yufeng spoke.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded lightly.
"Okay, this mystical holy land will soon be displayed before us. I'm filled with some anticipation. It's a pity that my current cultivation realm makes it so that I won't be able to venture too deep into it. Or I might never return." As Li Yufeng and the others proceeded deeper, they felt the law fluctuations growing more intense. Laws of the Great Dao were everywhere, permeating the atmosphere here.
"Truly a mystical land. I wonder how this mountain range was formed." Qin Wentian murmured. As they advanced in, they finally arrived at the foot of a single mountain here.
Not only for them, for those experts who entered, there were many who came to this place. There were even some who started to ascend the mountain.
"This mountain is the first law mountain after we entered. It's said that for our cultivation base, we are only suitable to cultivate in the area near here. Nongyue said that we mustn't exceed the boundaries of this place, or we might be in danger. The place after this region is known as a forbidden area and there are some extremely powerful experts guarding it." Li Yufeng reminded.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the mountain before them. The formless law energy grew stronger and stronger. He lifted his foot and moved forth, attempting to climb the mountain.
"The law fluctuations here are so thick that it feels as though it is corporeal and could be touched," Zhiyin mumbled. She stretched out her hand and spoke, "The law energy here feels like the law domains of immortal kings, permeating the entire atmosphere."
"If we can be like this mountain, releasing such law energy that envelops the heaven and earth, forming a domain where our law energy could flow freely and be used for attack, defense, protection, augmentation of innate techniques, forming a body of laws… We would have reached the immortal king realm." Li Yufeng spoke in a low voice.
"There are many caves around this area, we can enter there to cultivate if we choose." As Qin Wentian climbed up, he saw several cultivation caves. These caves might have been opened up by others who came here before them."
"The law energy fluctuations are everywhere. We can cultivate wherever we like to, but if we don't want to be disturbed by others, we can choose to head to a cave." Li Yufeng spoke. "Naturally, there are some mystical caves where the law energies would congregate together and form a super strong surge of law energy where one can more clearly sense them."
Qin Wentian nodded and continued climbing. After sometime, they came before an ancient tree. This ancient tree seemed to be drinking in law energy, and sparkling fruits could be seen hanging on its branches. The fruits were exceedingly vibrant, bright red in color, like the color of blazing flames.
"Fruits of law. This must be one of the immortal law mountain range's fruit trees of law. There are many mystical plant-type beings and immortal herbs here. The deeper you enter, the more secrets there are." Li Yufeng spoke. Qin Wentian grew more and more curious regarding this Darknorth Immortal Mountain!
