Chapter 180: Immortal Mountain
After some urgent discussions, we finalized the full details of the plan, and all that remained was for implementation. As the treasurer of the guild, Rose will now be in charge of the overall situation, and I, the hard-working president, will have to start working in the field again.
"Huh? Why did President Purple Sun come to Heaven at this time? Didn't I hear that your guild was not at war? "As soon as I arrived at the gate of the South Heavenly Gate, I met the Four Heavenly Kings guarding the gate, and these four were also extremely curious about my arrival.
"It's true that the war is going on, but I'm in some trouble, didn't I come to move the rescuers?"
"Oh, then you can go in quickly, and we won't delay you."
After letting the Four Heavenly Kings go, I soon met the Jade Emperor and a few of his cronies in Yaochi. As soon as these guys saw me, they started talking. "Why did the Purple Protector run to us? You don't want us to send reinforcements, do you? Didn't we already introduce the demon to you? Didn't they come in handy? â
"The work of the demons is that we are responsible for helping us make trouble after we counterattack Russia, and now that we are still in the country, it is not appropriate for the demons to appear at this time. So I'm going to beg you to help me figure it out again. â
"This ......" the Jade Emperor said with a look of embarrassment: "It's true that the Russian Protoss was destroyed by you, but this agreement will not lose its effectiveness because the other party no longer exists, so even if we want to help you, we can't help it!" â
"I don't need you to send troops."
"No troops?" As soon as he heard that they didn't want to send troops, the Jade Emperor immediately became nervous. "Then do you want us to give our money?"
"I don't want money, I don't want troops, I just need a few stronger thugs."
"So?" When the Jade Emperor heard my request, he immediately pinched his beard and made a thinking motion, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, there is really a person in Heavenly Court who can come in handy, but it's just ......"
"A problematic person?"
The Jade Emperor nodded and said: "That guy doesn't have a good relationship with me, I let him go east, he will definitely go west, I let him go down, he has to climb up, in short, he will say two if I say one, if you don't do it with me, your whole body will be uncomfortable." â
After listening to the words of the Jade Emperor, I was also stunned for a moment. "Aren't you the Boss of Heavenly Court? In addition to Sanqing, there can be some prestige in front of you, then only Hongjun and his old man and a few of his apprentices are more bullish, how can anyone still not listen to you? â
"You don't know! I, the Jade Emperor, am so bitter......" The Jade Emperor was about to start spitting sour water as he spoke, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Stop, stop, I'm not here to collect the bills, don't cry with me if you want to cry poor! Just tell me where that person is, just ask me to move. â
As soon as the Jade Emperor heard that I didn't want to listen to his parents, he didn't say any more, but said with a straight face: "You know your old friend Polaris Jun's Immortal Residence, right?" â
"That guy is in Yaoshan?"
"No, Yaoshan is a place for Arctic alchemy, not his immortal residence. He now lives in Xianling Mountain. â
"And where is the mountain?"
"This ...... Xianling Mountain is a moving floating mountain, and I don't know exactly where it will go, but I can summon the North Pole and let him take you to find it. â
"The person you want to introduce me to is on that mountain?"
"Yes. There is a listening platform on Xianling Mountain, and there is a small cave behind it, and he lives there. â
"Then how do I ask him to come out of the mountain when I see him?"
"It's easy." The Jade Emperor thief smiled and said: "I will send a decree to all the immortals in a while, telling them that they are not allowed to help you fight during the agreement, and then you just need to beg him, in order to do it with me, he will help you." â
"Then what if I run into one or two out of ten?"
"Then you're out of luck. But if you really don't move, you can come back to me, I'm arranging someone else for you. â
"Okay, then you send a fairy decree immediately, and quickly find Polaris-kun, I'm in a hurry."
"Don't worry, I won't delay you."
The immortals of the Heavenly Court have always been scattered in their respective immortal mansions, and many of them are cultivated on floating immortal mountains that can move, which makes it very difficult to find a certain immortal. In order to deal with this kind of problem, Heavenly Court specially equipped each immortal with a special communication immortal device, so that he could call them anytime and anywhere and convey orders or something.
After the Jade Emperor confirmed, he first sent a document prohibiting all kinds of immortals from helping me, and then brought the North Star Monarch over. It was not surprising that Polaris-san was here with me and the Jade Emperor, and after receiving the Jade Emperor's explanation later, he understood our intentions.
"In that case, then the Purple Protector will come with me, and I will take you to meet the master."
"Then I'll take my leave." After leaving the Jade Emperor's side, I rushed to his cave with Polaris.
Although the Immortal Spirit Mountain where Polarising-Jun's Immortal Mansion was located was a floating mountain that could move, it was Polaris-Jun's own home after all, and he naturally had a way to find it. After flying with Polaris Jun for more than half an hour, we finally saw the immortal mountain surrounded by a large cloud and mist.
"Damn, are you still going to enjoy it?" Seeing the fairy mountain shrouded in dense clouds and mist, with lush vegetation and rivers and waterfalls, I can't wait to build a villa in this place as a resort.
Polaris-kun, this hypocritical guy, was praised by me and was still there to defend himself. "I don't live here to enjoy it, but to find the way. You must know that this immortal mountain itself has a gathering of heavenly spiritual energy, which is much more precious than the spiritual energy of the earth's veins. A single earth vein spirit cave in the mortal world can make many immortals and demons grab their heads, wouldn't it be even more powerful for me to monopolize an immortal mountain? â
"That's right." As soon as I finished speaking, a question suddenly occurred to me. "Oh, that's not right! Didn't the helper that the Jade Emperor introduced me live with you? What do you mean to dominate this immortal mountain? Is it something you both share? â
"Hehe, you don't know about this." Speaking of which, even Polaris-kun, a guy who can pretend to be deep, couldn't help but feel proud. "Actually, my neighbor only borrowed here, and I've been here for so many years, and I've never seen her out of the cave. If it weren't for the occasional breath I could feel as I passed by her cave, I would have sometimes even suspected that she was sitting in it! â
"Oh, I see. Let's get over there. â
"Okay, you come with me."
Under the leadership of Polaris-kun, we finally succeeded in landing at the foot of this fairy spirit mountain. There's a helicopter-like place here, just right to land. According to Polaris-kun, there are only three such platforms in the entire Immortal Spirit Mountain, and they are the only three entrances to this mountain. The entire Immortal Spirit Mountain has been set up with a spatial partition array, and this magic array is based on the Heavenly Spirit Qi of the Immortal Mountain, unless someone has the ability to shoot down the entire Immortal Mountain directly, otherwise don't expect to go around it from somewhere else, you have to land from the three entrances, and then walk in the mountain like an ordinary person.
We landed on the platform at the foot of the hill and began to climb up the hill along the stone steps that connected the platform. This stone step is no more than two feet wide, and it is a little difficult for two people to walk towards each other and try to cross by mistake, but fortunately, there are a total of six people living on this mountain, including Polaris, one of them is a mysterious person who never leaves the cave, and the other five are only his four apprentices except for Polarising.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the level of this immortal mountain is too high for ordinary players to come up, I think it would definitely be good to open this place as a travel mecca. The slender stone steps we walked up meander between the mountains and forests, both sides of the road are full of dense all kinds of trees, occasionally the stone steps will pass through the tree holes of some giant trees, or become a chain bridge across a short section of flying cliff mountain stream, or a narrow plank road hanging on the cliff, outside the plank road can see a large area of green forest and all kinds of colorful birds, and in some areas there are even waterfalls falling from the outside of the plank road to form a water curtain, which looks more fantastic and fantastical.
"Arctic, the more I look at this place, the more beautiful it becomes! Next time, let me build a villa here, right? â
"I don't mind if you repair the villa, I can also make a fresh-keeping array for you to isolate the creatures in the mountains, but you have to pay for the materials yourself."
"You're so generous? Aren't you afraid that my villa will be built too much and this mountain will be full? â
"Hahahaha!" Polaris-kun suddenly smirked. "Do you really think this is a paradise? Sue you. The plank road and stone steps we just walked through have all been specially protected with a special magic circle, unless there is a special spell from me to guide the way, otherwise you can't see the road at all, even if you hit the road directly from one side of the road, you will immediately pass out from the other side of the road, and you won't find the road at all. So for this mountain creature, my path is completely devoid of zĂ i. â
"No wonder you built the road so narrow, it turned out to be for the convenience of hiding."
"Of course. It cost me a lot of savings to build this road, and if it weren't for the strong aura of the heavenly spirit here, I wouldn't be willing to pay this blood. If you want to live here, and you have to pay for the house to be repaired yourself, I can help you set up a magic circle so that the mountain creatures can't find your dwelling. But...... As soon as you leave the path, or the circle outside of your dwelling, the mountain creatures will immediately spot you, and even if you hide back, it's useless. With your strength, it's not bad to build a villa here, but as for building more...... I'm not looking down on your men. To be honest, at most one or two of them can survive here, and the rest of them will basically commit suicide if they leave the fresh-keeping array. â
"I said, why did you suddenly become generous!"
"Are you interested in building it?"
"Of course. However, it is estimated that it is only a public villa to be used for the high-ranking members of the guild for vacation. As for the creatures here...... As long as they don't leave the circle's protective range, that's it. â
"Speaking of the protection range of the magic circle, do you want to go directly through the mountains and forests with me to that side?" After saying that, Polaris-kun saw that I didn't understand much, so he added: "I built these three roads for my own use, so they are all connected to my cave. Of course, there is a similar path from me that leads to my neighbor's cave house alone, but the road is temporary and closed when not in use. Also, if we go that way, we have to go to my own cave first, and then go around it, and the distance will increase a lot. This place can't fly with spells, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to come and go. If you're not in a hurry, we'll just walk slowly, and if you're in a hurry, we'll leave the road and go straight from here. Although you may encounter some strange beasts in the mountains and forests on the way, your strength and mine will basically not be dangerous here, and you can save a lot of time from here. â
"Then take a shortcut. I'm in a hurry. â
"Alright, you come with me."
Once we were sure we were going to get closer, we left the stone steps next to a stream and followed the river towards the forest. Walking through this primeval forest is not as simple as tourism. No matter what kind of tourist attraction it is, at least a road will be built, even if it is a dirt road stepped on by people, it can be regarded as a road. But in this dense primeval forest, not to mention the road, there are places where the vegetation is so dense that it is even like a wall, and if you don't have to violently punch a hole, you have to consider detouring or climbing over it. Of course, some travelers may have been to the forest without roads to experience the feeling of jungle survival, but I would say that compared to the primeval forests here, the so-called forests on the earth can only be regarded as parks and green spaces. At least there are never man-eating trees and invisible beasts in the forests of Earth.
We had only walked less than two hundred meters along the stream when Polaris-kun suddenly reached out and motioned for me to stop, and I immediately removed Eternity from the back of my hand and held it in my hand with a short blade. The reason why I didn't choose a heavy weapon with more power was mainly because long weapons could not be used in the dense jungle, and shorter weapons were more suitable for those big guys.
We stood on the edge of the stream for more than ten seconds, when Polaris-kun suddenly raised his hand like lightning and shook the dust in one direction, and then saw a flash of white light and quickly disappeared into the jungle. Almost as soon as the light cluster disappeared, a circle of ripples like an explosion shockwave suddenly appeared near us, but it was obviously not a shockwave, because it was impossible for the shockwave in such a dense forest to ripple normally without affecting the plants, and strange translucent shadows began to appear on the trees and the ground around us. These creatures look like creatures made of pure, colorless crystals, and they have a body structure similar to that of a big cat, and they are probably slightly larger than snow leopards, but it is clear that these creatures are not sluggish, on the contrary, they are simply lightning fast.
"It's Shadow Leopard!" Polaris-kun reminded me out loud. "Your sword may not be able to keep up, these things react quickly."
I didn't answer Polaris-kun, but instantly let Eternity melt into a liquid state, and then the blade claws of both hands popped out, and the liquefied Eternity quickly flowed onto the sharp blades that popped up all over my body and hardened again to form a new knife edge. In addition to the claws on my wrists, my armor has sharp cuts on the back of my elbows, calves, and toes, as well as short sharp spikes on my shoulders and knees, which make my close attacks more lethal. Of course, with the eternal liquefaction properties, I can form a sharp blade anywhere on my body if I need to, but it is of little use to form a weapon other than the limbs of the hands and feet.
I don't know if I'm satisfied with my new weapon or if I don't have time to pay attention, Polaris-kun didn't comment on my new weapon form, but continued: "Shadow Leopard is good at stealth, and can transform itself into any color or full transparency to blend into the environment. They climb trees, are very agile, and are adept at navigating jungles, often appearing in groups and sneaking up near their targets to attack. Their teeth have a piercing effect that can bite through any armor, and their claws can tear the armor of the Heavenly Soldiers to shreds like a piece of paper. So don't put too much faith in your gear, it's not fun to get caught or bitten by them. â
"Do they have other abilities?"
"Yes. Shadow Leopard uses Time Boost, but only lasts less than a second at a time, though it can use this ability frequently. â
"Damn, is your immortal mountain even more terrifying than the demon blood prison of the Yama Palace!"
"I didn't say it's safe here."
"Alright, let me kill one or two of them first to try the strength of these things."
"Be careful yourself. These things are very smart and never go head-to-head with people, so beware of letting them take advantage. â
"I've always been the only one who takes advantage of others, and it's too early for them to take advantage of me!" As I spoke, I suddenly started to pounce on a shadow leopard hanging upside down in the tree next to me, but the other party immediately turned around and disappeared into the jungle behind me the moment I jumped, and while I was still in mid-air, the two shadow leopards that came out from behind the tree next to me had already jumped up one after another, seeing that their posture was intended to attack my legs. This is clearly a triangular formation, the target of my attack is to lure the enemy, and the other two are obviously only pinned down after I launch, and the one in charge of luring the enemy is expected to come back after I am suppressed to complete the hunt. Polaris-kun said that these things are really smart, and this is no longer a simple teamwork, this is simply a trap. A beast that can make traps, then it is not a beast.
If only ordinary people had to explain it to me just now, but when the two shadow leopards pounced, I suddenly rolled over in the air and twisted my feet, kicked the shadow leopard that attacked my right leg with my left foot, and hit the one that hit my left leg with my right foot in the middle of my right foot. One of the two shadow leopards was kicked in the jaw and the back of the head, one fell to the ground and the other flew straight out. Neither of the two leopards died, though, and they twisted around at the last moment to drain most of my strength, so they were just kicked in pain, not hurt.
"Damn, this thing is really flexible enough. Polaris-kun, you don't have a problem with me catching a few of these things, right? â
