Chapter 960: Chapter 610: True Witch’s Bone, Ba Tian’s Proposal
"This mountain peak, seems a bit off?"
As Lu Qing approached the Heaven-Reaching Mountain, he noticed something was amiss.
From afar, the mountain appeared straight, resembling a pillar reaching the sky.
But as he got closer, he realized the mountain was tiered, and its surface was quite smooth, not a genuine mountain peak.
It looked more like a vertebra of some kind of creature.
But what sort of creature would have a spine that could grow to such proportions, so towering and vast, and what would its true form be like?
Gazing at the "mountain" ahead, Lu Qing was utterly astonished.
Instinctively, he activated his Superpower, trying to see if it could uncover any information.
He had attempted before, but gained nothing, yet this time, he intended to try longer.
"Ah Qing, why does this mountain look to me like..."
At this moment, Little Li hesitated to say.
"Hmm, it also looks to me like the spine of an exceedingly large creature." Lu Qing nodded.
Little Li’s mouth gaped open: "How big must that creature be?"
"I don’t know, but it certainly must be a being beyond our imagination."
After a momentary pause, Little Li said: "Ah Qing, I can vaguely sense that on this mountain peak, there’s a rather formidable treasure, but the sensation isn’t very clear."
"Is that so? Then it means we’re in the right place."
Lu Qing kept his eyes on the "mountain" ahead, and even after fifteen minutes, there was still no change.
Just when he thought he couldn’t uncover any information and was about to give up,
Finally, a few lines of floating text appeared atop the "mountain".
[Bone of the True Witch: The spine left behind after the death of an ancient True Witch.]
[The True Witch, a mid-tier member of the Witch Clan, holds a status only below the Great Witch and the Ancestor Witch.]
[This spine was left by a deceased True Witch of the Witch Clan, refined by powerful figures in the clan to suppress this realm, forming the Trial Mountain.]
[Descendants of the Ancient Witch Clan can climb this spine, endure the trial of the Evil Qi within, to receive the essence within the bone, transforming into a Witch.]
...
"Bone of the True Witch, indeed, this mountain peak is the spine of some powerful being left behind, and the reason this space is so heavy is due to the suppression of this Bone of the True Witch."
After reading the floating text, Lu Qing felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Apart from uncovering the origin of the Heaven-Reaching Mountain, what delighted him more was the information revealed in the subsequent text.
As long as he climbs this Bone of the True Witch and withstands the trials within, he can receive the essence within it.
Although he didn’t know how powerful the so-called "True Witch" was.
But the fact that just one vertebra could suppress an entire realm was evidence enough of a formidable being beyond his imagination.
The essence it left behind must be an extraordinary treasure.
"Ah Qing, did you discover the origin of this mountain peak?"
Little Li, seeing Lu Qing’s expression, immediately asked.
It knew that Lu Qing had an amazing ability, capable of revealing the origin of most items with some investigation.
"I learned a bit, perhaps we’ll have to climb this mountain soon. If we can endure it, there’s great fortune to be had. If not, you should temporarily retreat to the Leaving Fire Tripod." Lu Qing said.
"Is there great fortune?" Little Li’s ears perked up at once.
"Yes, let’s go."
Lu Qing employed his movement technique and rushed forward, soon reaching the foot of the Bone of the True Witch.
Then he saw that many people were gathered in various positions ahead.
He recognized some faces, like the people from the Gongsu Family and the group from Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Sect that he had suppressed before.
The people gathered at this mountain foot were over a hundred.
However, the situation seemed not very favorable for these people.
Many bore bloodstains, sitting in meditation on the ground, trying to regain their energy.
Some appeared dazed, having faced some unknown blow.
Some even lay sprawled on the ground, breathless.
Clearly, a lot had happened here.
The arrival of Lu Qing equally drew the attention of those in front.
As they turned and saw Lu Qing, many people’s expressions changed.
Nobody expected that he would eventually enter the Ancient Tower.
Especially the people from Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Sect turned pale.
Just not long ago, they had been suppressed by Lu Qing and only survived by surrendering their Cultivation Techniques.
Elder Yu was still nursing his injuries outside, unable to follow them into the tower.
Gongshu Yu and others equally did not look pleased.
Even top Golden Cores like Ba Tian and Shen Cangfeng had a slight change in their expressions.
The suppression force in this realm was much stronger than in the secret realm outside.
The limitations on them reached an unprecedented level.
For someone like Lu Qing, with a physically formidable body akin to a Mutant Beast, he was undoubtedly a significant threat to them.
Under the watchful eyes of so many strong beings, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.
He naturally noticed the wariness of those people towards him.
However, he didn’t mind, not even greeting them; instead, he walked to another spot, quietly observing the Bone of the True Witch before him.
With this observation, Lu Qing noticed that the surface of this mountain-sized Bone of the True Witch wasn’t entirely smooth either.
A massive staircase spiraled up it, seemingly left for people to climb.
