Chapter 125: Blockade at Immortal Mountain

Come out of Shouxian City.

Li Zhi followed the old man and flew ten thousand miles in the wilderness before stopping in front of a primeval forest.

Shouxian City, which is said to be the human city closest to the Immortal Mountain, is actually so far away from the Immortal Mountain.

It is completely different from the ancient forbidden area in the southern region. There are humans living outside the 800-mile ancient forest.

But thinking back, this situation is normal.

After all, the Great Saint Body and the Ruthless Emperor who live in the ancient forbidden area are both of human origin.

The ancient supreme being in the Immortal Mountain would launch dark turmoil from time to time and reap a large wave of life essence.

Sometimes, even though they are not born in person, they will let their subordinates come out to cause chaos and reap the life energy of all spirits for their consumption.

With the previous experience of the Dark Turmoil, it was only natural for humans to build their cities away from the Immortal Mountain.

However, looking at the primeval forest in front of him, Li Zhi did not find any traces of black mountains in the forest, so he asked, "Old senior, is this the Immortal Mountain?"

The old man smiled and said, "Little Taoist, I didn't expect you to be so anxious. This is not the Immortal Mountain, but the primeval forest outside the Immortal Mountain. Although this forest is not a life-forbidden zone, it is inhabited by many descendants of the Savage Beast Kings, which are extremely dangerous to our human race. The cultivation of many beast kings is not even weaker than that of the holy masters of those holy places. You must follow me closely on the road ahead. From here on, we can't fly in the sky. We need to detour around the border of the territory of the Nair Savage Beast King, otherwise we will be attacked by those Savage Beast Kings."

After listening to the old man's explanation, Li Zhi nodded, and then asked: "How far is this place from the Immortal Mountain?"

After a brief calculation, the old man said, "The straight-line distance is probably about three to four thousand miles. If we take a detour, we will probably have to travel tens of thousands of miles. But we are all cultivators, and even if we travel through the forest on the ground, our speed is not necessarily much slower than flying in the sky. I estimate that we will be able to see the real Immortal Mountain in a day or two."

Li Zhi was surprised and asked, "It's still that far?"

The old man said, "That is the forbidden zone of life that caused the dark turmoil. This distance is already considered close. For the rest of the journey, you and I must keep our breath from leaking out and not make any noise. If we alarm the mysterious existence in the Undead Mountain, it will not be as simple as being hunted down by the Savage Beast King. It is easy to die inexplicably."

After telling Li Zhi a dozen precautions, the old man stared at the primeval forest in front of him and said, "In fact, the enlightenment tea produced in the Immortal Mountain every year is not only taken away by people from various major forces, but also taken away by the wild beasts living here. If you have the ability, you may be able to find some unused enlightenment tea from their nests."

Apparently this old man had once thought of attacking the wild beasts living in the forest.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi asked, "Old Senior, the place you are talking about is not where these wild beast kings appear, right?"

The old man smiled and said, "Smart. This is a perfect time window that I have analyzed after years of observation. As long as you take the enlightenment tea and escape before those wild beast kings react, they generally won't chase you out of this forest."

Afterwards, under the guidance of the old man, Li Zhi entered the primeval forest.

The ancient trees all around were towering into the sky, like small hills. Many ancient vines were intertwined and even buried the mountains. No traces of the mountains could be seen, as if it was an ancient vine mountain.

This primeval forest has not been visited by anyone for many years.

Along the way, the old man told Li Zhi not to destroy the surrounding environment, or even leave any traces of passing by.

Because the ancient beasts living in this area are extremely psychic and can detect intruders based on subtle traces. Once they are targeted by those powerful beasts, they will either die or be injured.

Along the way, Li Zhi could vaguely sense a strong and dangerous aura from deep in the forest, as if a terrifying beast king was sleeping there.

Fortunately, there was an old man leading the way, otherwise Li Zhi would probably have to endure repeated attacks from wild beasts just by crossing the forest.

If the guardian warriors and the Savage Beast King start a war, it might disturb the existence in the Immortal Mountain.

It is best to enter the mountains quietly and without guns.

After all, his current cultivation level is no different from that of an ant in front of those beings in the Immortal Mountain, and he will not attract much attention.

After walking around for a long time in the primeval forest, and even circling some areas, Li Zhi finally saw the black mountains unique to the Immortal Mountain.

An unsettling aura emanated from those mountains, as if the mountains were tainted with the terrifying aura of a supreme being.

The mountain range before us is majestic and towering, as if it has been standing there since the beginning of the world. Each mountain can be called the king of mountains and the emperor of peaks, majestic and magnificent.

It is lush and green, covered with towering ancient trees, and looks full of vitality. There are also some lakes dotted in the mountains, but the green plants can hardly cover up the color of the mountains.

A hundred miles away from the Black Mountains, the old man stopped taking another step forward.

Instead, he pointed to a normal mountain range thirty miles away and said to Li Zhi, "Little Taoist priest, the black mountain ahead is the real Immortal Mountain. Do you see the valley over there? Every time the Enlightenment Tea leaves fly out of the Immortal Mountain, they will pass by there. You can hide in that valley and pick them quietly. If you are lucky, no one will find you."

Li Zhi looked at the terrain there and saw that it was indeed a good place to fish in troubled waters, so he said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Then, he continued, "Senior, have you ever been to the Immortal Mountain?"

The old man shook his head and said, "That is a forbidden zone for life. I still want to live a few more years. In fact, with my cultivation level, I can't get in at all. Only those old emperors or old saints whose lifespans are about to end will choose to enter the depths of the Immortal Mountain to look for fortune. But from ancient times to the present, no old emperor or saint has been able to come out of the Immortal Mountain alive."

Li Zhi asked again: "Senior, if I want to go into the Immortal Mountain to pick enlightenment tea leaves, is there anything I should pay attention to?"

The old man's face changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He said, "Young Taoist priest, don't let your imagination run wild. That's the Immortal Mountain, a forbidden zone for life. Don't underestimate some of the most powerful people who have entered and walked out alive. In fact, the number of people who have walked out alive is less than one in ten thousand. And I have never encountered a precedent where a cultivator below the Immortal Stage entered the Immortal Mountain and walked out alive."

The old man seemed to think that what he said would scare Li Zhi, and then he said: "However, if you just look outside and broaden your horizons, the danger is actually not that high. In the eyes of those supreme beings in the mountains, you and I are like dust on the ground, and they won't even look at us."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi asked curiously, "Senior, you actually know what kind of existence is in the Immortal Mountain?"

The old man showed a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, then shook his head and said, "I also heard from others that there is a headless knight guarding the entrance to the Undying Mountain. Anyone who wants to break into the Undying Mountain will be killed by the headless knight."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I see. I am still your senior. Do you know which supreme beings are in the Immortal Mountain?"

Afterwards, the old man looked at the sky and said to Li Zhi, "Young Taoist priest, let's go back. It's best not to stay too long in such a dangerous place. Come back when the enlightenment tea is ripe."

"Thank you for leading the way on this trip, senior." Li Zhi thanked.

Originally thought they would return along the same route, but after Li Zhi followed the old man for a while, he found that it was an unfamiliar area.

So he asked, "Senior, are we on the wrong road?"

The old man said, "We are right. It would be most dangerous if we return along the same route. On the way, some beast kings must have sensed our presence. If we were just passing by, they might not care. But if we appear in the territory of a beast king again in a short period of time, those beast kings will not sit idly by."

Li Zhi thought to himself, "As expected, having a local snake leading the way will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Then they followed another forest path and left the primeval forest.

As expected, the journey was safe and we did not encounter any wild beasts blocking the way.

After they walked out of the forest, the old man showed a look of relief on his face and said to Li Zhi: "Young Taoist priest, it seems that you are a person with great fortune. This is the first time that I have been able to travel this road unimpeded without encountering any wild beasts blocking the way."

Li Zhi said: "It's none of my business, it's all because of your rich experience, senior."

Finally, the old man said, "You are familiar with this road, so let's say goodbye. You severely suppressed the momentum of those young geniuses in Shouxian City before, so it's best not to run into them again. They have no other abilities, but they are first-rate at calling friends, and they are likely to ask the elders of the clan to help them. You should be careful recently."

Li Zhi said: "Thank you for the reminder, senior."

But before they could separate, five divine lights shot towards them rapidly from a distance.

When the divine light dissipated, an old man dressed in the clothes of the Wind Clan's great elder appeared in front of Li Zhi and the old man who led the way with four young men.

After seeing them, the old man who led the way's expression changed slightly.

It seemed that he recognized the identity of the Wind Clan elder.

The old man who led the way hurriedly greeted the elder of the Feng clan, "Junior He Cheng greets Senior Feng You."

The Wind Clan elder did not speak, but the Wind Clan young man next to him said, "Grandpa Qi, it was this old guy who plotted against us in Shouxian City."

He Cheng quickly defended himself, "Please be clear, senior. I have absolutely not plotted against Young Master Fengyun and the others."

Elder Feng You said coldly to He Cheng: "You have evil intentions and deserve to be killed."

Then, he slapped He Cheng.

A divine light flashed on He Cheng's body and he appeared a hundred miles away. It seemed that he had used up a divine talisman to move away, and then he went back into the primeval forest without looking back.

Elder Feng You saw this and said with a hint of disdain: "You want to run? Can you run away from me?"

After saying that, Feng You chased after He Cheng. From beginning to end, he ignored Li Zhi who was with He Cheng.

Li Zhi watched Feng You chasing after him and felt worried for He Cheng.

The other party is a half-step powerful being in the first level of the Immortal Realm, and he is a powerful being from the ancient Feng clan. His magical powers are much superior to those of He Cheng, who comes from a small sect.

I hope he can escape and ascend to heaven.

"Little Taoist, you seem to be very concerned about that old thing." Feng Yun stood in front of Li Zhi with full confidence, pointed at him and asked condescendingly.

Beside him, the other three people whose powers had recovered secretly surrounded Li Zhi.

"I left in a hurry just now, and I haven't asked for your names yet?" Li Zhi said calmly, bowing.

"Little Taoist, isn't it a little late now that you know how to find a door and ask for the way?" said the young man from the Wind Clan.

"It's not too late, not at all. Even if you want to kill me, you have to let me be a sensible person, right? Otherwise, how can you demonstrate your character as disciples of a holy land family?" Li Zhi showed a look of expectation.

"Little Taoist priest, listen carefully. I am Fengyun of the Feng Clan." The young man of the Feng Clan said proudly. "Does your family have people named Fenglei, Fengdian, or Fengyu?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

"Little Taoist, you know a lot. Even the four geniuses of my Feng clan, Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, know about it." Feng Yun said with seeming very proud.

"How does your cultivation compare to Feng Huang?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

"Feng Huang is just one step ahead of us. We will catch up soon." There seemed to be some unwillingness in Feng Yun's tone.

Then, his face turned fierce and he said, "Little Taoist priest, first you made us look bad in front of everyone, now it's time to settle the account between you and us."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "No hurry, I haven't asked these three brothers' names yet."

"Xiang Yiba from Dayan Holy Land." The burly young man from Dayan Holy Land introduced himself.

"What is your relationship with Xiang Yifei, the Great Saint? Your name is much more domineering than his." Li Zhi asked with a strange look in his eyes.

"Little Taoist, you seem to be very curious." The young man from the Zifu Holy Land said.

"I haven't asked for your name yet. I only know that the saint of your holy land is called Zixia. I don't know any of the others." Li Zhi turned his head and looked at him and said.

“Little Taoist priest, listen carefully. I am Ye Lang, the candidate saint son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.” The candidate saint son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land said proudly.

"Arrogant?" Li Zhi blurted out, and then almost laughed.

Although the candidate Saint Son of Zifu had never heard of the idiom "Yerlangzida", he could hear the mockery in Li Zhi's tone.

Then, Li Zhi turned his head and looked at the young man from the Crane Clan and asked, "You are the prodigy of the Crane Clan. Is your name He Wushuang?"

Seeing Li Zhi's serious expression, the young man from the Crane Clan asked, "Little Taoist priest, do you know a Crane Clan genius named He Wushuang?"

After seeing his reaction, Li Zhi shook his head and said, "It seems that you are not He Wushuang. You don't have the domineering aura of a leader in the world."

The young man from the Crane Clan seemed to sense the deep disappointment in Li Zhi's words. He could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face, as if he had attained the Tao. He said, "I am He Ziqing, the thirteenth young master of the Crane Clan."

It seemed that he wanted to prove to Li Zhi that he was powerful and a genuine genius.

Then, Li Zhi asked, "What is your cultivation level? Has anyone broken through to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm? To be honest, I just broke through to the second level of the Four Extremes not long ago. If you only have the cultivation level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, I'm afraid you are no match for me."

"I am at the peak of the third level of the Four Extremes." He Ziqing shouted immediately.

Then Feng Yun of the Wind Clan shouted, "I am also at the peak of the third level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm."

Purple Mansion Candidate Saint Ye Lang said confidently: "Little Taoist, this Saint is at the fourth level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm."

Li Zhi focused his attention on Xiang Yiba of Dayan Holy Land.

Xiang Yiba said with a domineering look on his face: "I am in the early stage of the third level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, but my combat power is recognized by everyone as the strongest."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Li Zhi said.

Then, Li Zhi said to him curiously, "Your cultivation is the lowest, so why is your combat power recognized as the strongest? Did they think you are honest and trick you into being their thug?"

"Little Taoist, stop using sweet words. My Overlord Stimulation Method emphasizes actual combat. Besides, I have been bathing my body in dragon blood since I was a child. How can these three weaklings compare to me?" Xiang Yiba said domineeringly.

Li Zhi continued, "I don't believe it unless you defeat them in front of me."

After saying that, Li Zhi took a few steps back and walked out of the encirclement of four people.

Xiang Yiba took out his Overlord Halberd, pointed at Fengyun, Yelang, and He Ziqing and said, "Come on, today I will make you lose with a sense of acceptance."

Seeing Xiang Yiba unsheath his weapon, Feng Yun of the Wind Clan also sacrificed a stone tablet as heavy as a mountain. He Ziqing of the Crane Clan took out a silver-white divine sword, and Ye Lang of the Purple Mansion Holy Land even sacrificed a soul-calming bell.

Xiang Yiba not only did not feel that the three people were a threat, but pointed at them with his Overlord Halberd and said, "Come on, all three of you. Today, I will let you witness my Overlord power. I will make you lose with a sincere heart."

"Xiang, you are nothing but a simple-minded idiot with strong limbs. Today, I, Ye, will let you know that in front of real magical powers, your Overlord Halberd Technique is a joke. You have practiced the Dayan Holy Sword to a weird level, and you still have the nerve to show off everywhere." Ye Lang, the candidate saint of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, mocked directly.

"Mr. Ye, I knew you were a villain. Look at the halberd." Xiang Yiba was furious and shouted directly at Ye Lang.

"Ding-ling-ling," Ye Lang directly shook the soul-calming bell in his hand, causing Xiang Yiba's heart to be greatly shaken, and he could not even walk steadily.

After hearing the bell, Feng Yun and He Ziqing's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion for a moment, but they soon regained their clarity.

Then they all stared at Li Zhi who had retreated a hundred meters away.

"You, a demon, have actually mastered the Devil's Evil Heart Technique, this weird skill. Die." Feng Yun and He Ziqing shouted almost at the same time.

Li Zhi, seeing this, shook his head in disappointment and said, "It seems that my practice is still not good enough. You guys can get rid of my 'talking skills' so easily."

Then he took out a palm-sized bone mirror, and on the mirror surface, there was a blood-red knife engraved.

Li Zhi said to the white bone mirror in his hand: "Please kill the enemy."

Under the astonished gazes of the four geniuses who had just escaped from the power of rhetoric, a blood-red knife flew out from the mirror.

Then the knife quickly circled around their necks.

Before they even had time to react, the knife flew back into the mirror.

"Little Taoist, are you playing house at this time?" Xiang Yiba of Dayan Holy Land pointed at Li Zhi with the Overlord Halberd and shouted.

But as soon as he finished yelling, he felt something was wrong with his body, as if his head and body were separated.

At the same time, the soul seemed to be cut into two parts.

Seeing this, the other three also wanted to speak, but like Xiang Yiba, their heads slipped off their shoulders.

It's like he doesn't know what he is until he dies.

I clearly didn't feel anything after the knife flew past.

Li Zhi looked at the four head-and-body-separated corpses in front of him, and was quite satisfied with the Divine King Bone Mirror in his hand.

After the power of the laws of the God King's Bone Mirror and the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine were integrated, the new magical weapon formed had quite good actual combat effects.

Use the God King's Bone Mirror to absorb the enemy's life breath to lock the enemy, and then use the blade of the Immortal Guillotine to turn it into a flying knife to reap his life. This kind of coordination is simply seamless.

The results of the first actual combat have far exceeded Li Zhi's expectations.

Afterwards, Li Zhi began his routine of searching the corpse.

All the belongings they were carrying were taken away, and then their bodies were burned to ashes.

Finally, Li Zhi took out a suona and played the tune of "Hou Tu's Rebirth Sutra".

After playing the flute for a while, Li Zhi felt refreshed.

He said to the ashes on the ground: "Why are you doing this? If you are defeated, you should go home and practice well. Why did you come here to chase me and sacrifice your life in vain. Amitabha, ah. No, Wuliang Tianzun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Feng You, who had gone to chase He Cheng, came back holding He Cheng's head.

Moreover, there were some traces of a great battle on his body, as if he had had a fierce battle with the wild beasts in the primeval forest.

Seeing this, Li Zhi could only feel sorry for He Cheng in his heart.

The old man was a nice guy, but unfortunately he offended the disciples of aristocratic families and ended up in disaster.

Elder Feng You saw that only Li Zhi was there, so he asked, "Little Taoist priest, where are my nephew and his family?"

"Please accept my condolences, senior. They have just set off. But please rest assured, senior. I will send you to chase them right away." Li Zhi said seriously.

"What did you say?" The old man was furious and swung his palm, trying to slap Li Zhi to death.

But just as he raised his hand, he found that a rusty halberd had appeared in front of his chest, and his heart's blood was dripping on the blade.

Feng You turned his head and looked behind him in disbelief, and then saw a mysterious figure shrouded in black mist, who was stabbing him through the heart with a halberd.

Then, the halberd that pierced Feng You's chest shook slightly, and Feng You and the head in his hand were all turned into tiny ice chips.

Seeing this, Li Zhi picked up the suona which had not been put away yet and continued to play it.

He played for a long time until a gust of wind blew away all the ice and ashes, and then he stopped.

Then, looking at the dust, Li Zhi said with a look of compassion: "Why do you have to do this? I don't really have the intention to kill."

After saying that, Li Zhi turned around and returned to the primeval forest, intending to go to the Immortal Mountain to practice.

　I'd like to report that after everyone's joint efforts, the performance last month was pretty good, with an average subscription of over a thousand, so it was not in vain. I will continue to update this month, hoping that the performance can be improved a little bit. Finally, please give me some monthly votes.
