Usually, places like this with fortuitous encounters were basically hidden. Those who knew about it would not want others to know as well. “Don’t tell me you think I didn’t make it public.” The Peak Master found it funny.
“In other words, my father knows, ” Zheng Xiaoling said.
“Of course, he knows. Otherwise, you can go back and ask.” The Peak Master did not mind.
“You can have it all to yourself.” Zheng Xiaoling did not quite understand. “Why did you have to make it public?”
“There’s strength in numbers. Only by detecting it in advance can we obtain the benefits in advance. Moreover, no matter who discovers the secret of this place, the majority of the profits will be mine.” The Peak Master laughed.
In fact, he had searched for a long time and found nothing.
“My father seemed to have said that he would choose a legacy disciple. I’m afraid he’ll also be conducting a trial here!” Zheng Xiaoling suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard her father talk about the selection of legacy disciples.
“So all the elders in our sect have investigated this place?” Su Zimei asked.
The Peak Master shook his head. “How is that possible? At present, only the ancestors, the old sect master, and the ten great elders have been here.”
“Master, I think this is a real python. It seems to be a primordial mutant. Aren’t you going to nurture another pet?” Su Zimei asked curiously. “I think it’s pretty good. Why don’t you capture it?”
The Peak Master had a solemn expression. “I know about this giant python. It has the bloodline of a primordial mutant, the Dark Nether Python. Moreover, the power of its bloodline is quite dense.
“It’s very likely that it’s a third-generation direct descendant.
“However, it’s too old, and it’s locked on this mountain. It can’t leave, and its strength can’t increase. The benefit is that this lock can provide it with nearly unlimited life force.
“The enormous life force that continues its vitality is very likely to be this strange flowerbed.
“It means that someone used the entire Black Mountain as a natural formation. The problem is that even the most outstanding formation masters in our sect can’t see where it came from.
“This method is simply beyond imagination. Even the ancestors of the sect don’t have this strength, and they didn’t detect anything.
“I can only look for the fated one.
“This place is quite extraordinary. If the two of you want to explore the place, you can go down.”
Su Zimei and Zheng Xiaoling looked at each other and saw the intention in each other’s eyes.
“Even the ancestor didn’t find any opportunities here? The person behind this place even used a method to lock the life force of this giant python and make it immortal?” Zheng Xiaoling could not believe it. Such power was simply beyond her imagination.
The old ancestors of the Tian Xuan Sect and the old sect master was quite powerful. They had shocked the entire East Continent and reached an incredible realm.
Su Zimei was very shocked and wanted to go down and explore immediately.
She soon thought that He Qingge’s cowardice came from a place of caution. “I’ll wait a little longer, Master! Anyway, it’s still early. I want to see if they can find anything.”
Zheng Xiaoling did not think too much about it. “Then I’ll go down and take a look. I feel that this place seems very interesting.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Peak Master sent her off.
“F*ck, I haven’t finished speaking!” Zheng Xiaoling, who had come to the ground, did not expect to be thrown down so quickly.
Although she was interested in this place, she wanted to travel with Su Zimei.
He Qingge silently observed the group of people at the top of the mountain.
The diary recorded that in order to avoid the python, the burly man did not go down. Instead, he walked along the edge of the flowerbed to the upper level.
However, the burly man did not write how he entered the mystic realm of where the Immortal Destiny test took place.
However, the first stage of the assessment had three small stages.
It was a test of one’s willpower, a test of one’s cultivation, and a test of one’s comprehension.
He could still give his spiritual will a try with his spiritual senses. After all, he had lived in seclusion for more than 20 years.
As for his cultivation foundation, he had also improved a lot. Although he was not considered a genius, he was still alright.
As for the final stage that tested his comprehension, if he could take the test on sound, then he would definitely be quite good.
If it was in other aspects, then he could only be as good as an ordinary person.
After half a day, He Qingge found that there were no other dangers on the peak, so he began to climb the mountain.
He kept his eyes on his surroundings, afraid that there would be some danger that his Hearing would not be able to detect.
The journey was safe and sound, and the higher he went up the peak, the quieter it became.
When he arrived at the peak and saw the land of exotic flowers and plants with his own eyes, his expression instantly became a little dazed. It was really too beautiful.
His Hearing could only observe shapes but not many lights and colors.
The entire flowerbed was emitting specks of divine light. It looked sacred, gentle, and beautiful. It was colorful.
The description in the diary was not wrong. The colors were constantly changing, and so were the divine lights.
The Sound-Gathering Butterfly on He Qingge’s shoulder kept flapping its wings and hissing, as if trying to convey something.
He Qingge was a little surprised, but he could only roughly feel the emotions of the Sound-Gathering Butterfly. He could not really communicate with it.
However, this should be considered good news for him. The Sound-Gathering Butterfly had a reaction to such a place. He did not know if it was a good reaction or a bad reaction. In short, it had a reaction.
He Qingge used his voice to comfort the Sound-Gathering Butterfly. He observed carefully but did not move forward.
There were many disciples from the same sect who were far away from here. They were also observing.
Many people saw that Foundation Establishment disciple being sucked dry in an instant. Now, they did not dare to approach at all.
They scanned the surroundings and found nothing. However, the path beside the strange flower garden continued up until the top of the mountain.
The few Foundation Establishment disciples were roughly at that location now, but they still did not find anything in the mystic realm.
There were still quite a number of people, and He Qingge did not intend to stand out. He stood silently at the back of the crowd. He had no way to find the secret realm.
Now, everyone recognized that this place was not normal. They understood that this assessment was definitely not that simple. What kind of item would satisfy the Peak Master?
For a moment, the situation froze.
Apart from the third peak, there were a total of nine peaks in the Black Mountain.
Each mountain peak was different from the others and had its own unique aspects. Many people had died in this assessment.
There were all kinds of accidents.
There was no dense spiritual energy on the Black Mountain, and there were no spiritual veins. Most of the creatures were actually ordinary wild beasts.
However, there were many demonic beasts living here. Generally speaking, demonic beasts liked spiritual energy quite a lot and would not stay in a place where spiritual energy was scarce for a long time..
