Chapter 404 - 404 Going Down the Mountain
404 Going Down the Mountain
Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man didn’t explain much about the details. However, he also revealed that this was a plot targeting Xiaori Country, which was related to the establishment of the nether world in Taixia Country. As for how it was going to be executed, there was no concrete implementation plan for the time being.
Lin Xuan nodded his head in understanding and did not ask further. There was no use in knowing all this now. He would find out when the time came.
The two powerhouses watched Lin Xuan’s back as he left and laughed out loud. The two of them looked at each other, and the huge stone in their hearts was finally lifted.
Even though they couldn’t remain indifferent while facing the deception on the Blue Planet, the unknown future of Taixia Country became a little clearer. Humans were social animals after all!
It was difficult to go up the mountain but easy to go down. He did not feel any pressure along the way, as if it was an ordinary mountain. Lin Xuan walked down the mountain with ease.
At the foot of the mountain, the pilgrims and onlookers gathered around the mountain path. They were waiting for Lin Xuan’s appearance to see if there was really someone who had ascended to the peak of Wudang Mountain to have tea with the immortal. As time passed, the onlookers did not disperse. Instead, more and more people gathered around. Many people had rushed over from other cities after hearing the news and were waiting with the intention of befriending the big shot.
“He’s back, look!”
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed young man shouted. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. A small figure leisurely walking on the mountain road appeared in their field of vision. Soon, the figure became clearer and clearer. They could see that it was the previous mountaineer!
Did he really make it up to the top?
The group of people all had different thoughts. Some believed it, and naturally, some did not.
“How is that possible? Maybe he didn’t reach the peak and squatted at a certain place for a long time before coming down!”
“Is it really that easy to see the immortal? That’s impossible!”
“It can’t be a publicity stunt, right? Now, these celebrity companies all want fame, do they not care about the safety of their citizens anymore?”
“Say, if he can go up, then should we…”
For a moment, everyone was busy gossiping. The immortal had been deified by them. In their minds, if they could see the immortal, they could really live a long life…
“Hehe, look at what he’s holding in his hand.”
“That’s a dragon blood date,” a knowledgeable ability user said. “It’s the fruit of the date tree bathed in dragon blood at the top of Wudang Mountain. Only the immortal has access to it!”
“What? This means that he really did reach the top!”
The crowd was in an uproar, but in the next moment, they looked at the dragon blood dates in Lin Xuan’s hands with burning eyes. Only the immortal had these things. What did this mean? These were herbs planted by the immortal. It was reasonable to eat one to extend one’s life by a few years!
Lin Xuan walked down leisurely. Even though he realized that the crowd was looking at him strangely, he did not panic at all. He released his powerful aura and the crowd automatically opened up a path for him to walk through.
“Wait, this… are you willing to sell the dragon blood date? I’ll pay fifty million dollars!”
Lin Xuan glanced at him and chuckled. Then, he ignored him and left.
“Don’t go, the price can still be negotiated. Sixty? Seventy?”
Lin Xuan did not stop at all, and he left immediately.
After he disappeared from sight, one of the ability users said with uncertainty, “I feel like I’ve seen this boy somewhere…”
“What?”
“He was the head of Di Yi one year ago, the unrivaled heavenly talent of Taixia Country. It is him!”
…
Lin Xuan was walking along the streets of Chaosheng Town, he met many people who were hurrying to the small path. They were also going to see the young man who had reached the top of Wudang.
Lin Xuan prepared to leave as he shook his head. He had originally wanted to stay in Chaosheng Town for a short while. There were unique sceneries here, and the air was fresh. He’s been cultivating for a year. It was appropriate for him to relax a little. Working hard and playing hard was the true path of cultivation.
However, everything had its good and bad sides. Although the Flying Thunder Gate was beneficial to the communal transportation between the other places in Taixia Country, the tranquility at the foot of Wudang Mountain had also been destroyed by these pilgrims. Because of their pilgrimage, Chaosheng Town developed into an urbanized area. As all the capitals settled in, the residents lived better than before; however, they didn’t feel as carefree as before.
The entire Chaosheng Town was filled with an impetuous aura, and Lin Xuan disliked it!
Lin Xuan headed to the Imperial City once he stepped into the Flying Thunder Gate. This time, he wanted to enter the nine beasts chaotic world instance dungeon. Firstly, it was to take revenge for the previous enmity formed between him and the Wheel Crow King. This time, he had to settle the score. Secondly, he had to kill the slug!
There was nothing much to say about the Wheel Crow King. Lin Xuan and it fought one-on-one, and the outcome of the battle would only be known after the battle.
The one who was more difficult to deal with was the Immortal Slug. This ancient and powerful Lord of the Holy Land would definitely not be easy to deal with. Among the three Holy Lands, the Bone Forest was the auxiliary healer. One should not think that it was easy to deal with just because it was an auxiliary healer. That was a huge mistake!
Slugs could split their bodies into countless parts. As long as one of them survived, their race would never die.
Other than division, the slug also had powerful healing abilities. As the most powerful healer in the nine beasts chaotic world, it was also an earth-rank powerhouse. This meant that they were one rank higher than Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan would probably have a hard time dealing with any damage to it.
Furthermore, the most important point was the location of the bone forest!
The locations of the three holy lands were all hidden. Previously, the location of Wood Mountain had been exposed because the Bright Phoenix interfered. They used the bell to capture the location of the reverse spiritualism technique and forcefully located Wood Mountain.
With such an experience, the beasts of the dragon cave and bone forest would not make the same mistake. Thus, the Bright Phoenix won’t be able to use the same trick to locate the bone forest.
Slugs weren’t easy to kill, this was going to be a tough one!
Of course, Lin Xuan had some advantages as well. They do not know that Lin Xuan was going to kill the entire population… Well, it did not really believe that Lin Xuan could kill it.
The second was that Lin Xuan was able to set up a trap outside of the field. As long as he gave enough money, there would be plenty of people who would come to help Lin Xuan.
Other than the above two points, Lin Xuan had also prepared a trump card for the slug!
What slugs were most afraid of was salt!
With the endless sea king world dungeon, they could obtain hundreds or thousands of tons of coarse salt every day. It was an inexhaustible resource. Of course, ordinary salt could not deal with the earth-rank slug immortal.
So, Lin Xuan prepared for it just in case… Hehehe!
