C155 Great Yin Mountain Range
C155 Great Yin Mountain Range
This mountain peak towered into the clouds. Standing at the foot of the mountain, one couldn't see the peak of the mountain. According to legend, this Grand Yin Mountain was nine thousand meters tall, and it had a total of 108,000 steps. Each step was harder than the last.
Even if it was an ordinary Hidden Acupoint Stage warrior, he wouldn't be able to walk past the 10,000 steps even if he used all of his strength.
Therefore, the Grand Yin Mountain was also a trial ground for many cultivators in the Black Tortoise City, and it was used to temper their own strength and willfulness.
When Lin Fann and Qian Rushan gathered at the foot of the Grand Yin Mountain, there were already dozens of people standing scattered at the foot of the mountain. Miao Yaner stood side by side with an unfamiliar man. When she saw Lin Fann and Qian Rushan, she nodded at them.
Lin Fann and Qian Rushan approached.
The strange man beside Miao Yaner had a very friendly expression.
His smile gave people the feeling that he was like a spring breeze. Although he did not have sharp and firm edges, he was more attractive than those tall and sturdy, handsome and extraordinary men.
"This is another Deacon from the Human Devil Cult in Black Tortoise City. His cultivation base is higher than mine. He has already cultivated to the eighth layer of the Acupoint Treasury before he was even a hundred years old.
His name is Fan Li, you all should get closer to him in the future!"
Miao Yaner introduced him in a soft voice, and her eyes were filled with ripples. It was obvious that she had a good impression of Fan Li.
In fact, she had even developed a trace of affection.
Lin Fann and Qian Rushan exchanged a few words with Fan Li, then they started to ask Miao Yaner about the reason for this emergency mission.
Miao Yaner shook her head slightly, "This mission was not issued by us. There were a total of eight Deacon from the Human Devil Cult in Black Tortoise City, and none of them had the right to issue such an urgent mission.
I received the mission at the same time as you. This is an order from the higher ups of the Human Devil Cult.
I only came a step earlier than you. I don't know much about the situation compared to you."
Lin Fann looked at them silently and found that the crowd was divided into four groups. The eight Deacon were divided into four groups.
They belonged to the group under Miao Yaner.
Not long after, a middle-aged man came from afar. With one step, he had already evolved the Earth Shrinking Technique to the extreme.
The Yin and Yang Qi lingered around his body. This middle-aged man was wearing a Daoist robe, and he had actually cultivated to the Yin Yang Stage.
"It's actually a special grade Deacon from the Human Devil Cult!" Miao Yaner cried out in shock when she saw the man in the Daoist robe, and Fan Li also frowned.
Behind the man in the Daoist robe was a ship shaped magic weapon. There were hundreds of figures inside, and each of them had a strong aura. At such a young age, he had actually already reached the Body Refinement Realm. There were even about ten percent of them who had already reached the Hidden Acupoint Stage.
"Are all the members of the Human Devil Cult from the Black Tortoise City here?" The man in the Daoist robe stood on the ground and rose into the air. He looked down at the cultivators who had gathered in the Black Tortoise City.
Miao Yaner and Deacon from the Human Devil Cult, who was one of the eight cultivators from the Black Tortoise City, cupped their hands and looked at the man in the Daoist robe.
"Reporting to Deacon. All the disciples of the Human Devil Cult are here in the Black Tortoise City. Please give the order, Lord Deacon. Begin the mission."
The man in the Daoist robe nodded his head in satisfaction. "Alright. All disciples of Human Devil Cult who come to this place will receive an increase of 300 contribution points. Then, according to the completion of the mission, each person will receive a different amount of contribution points, ranging from one million to one million. "
The moment the man in the Daoist robe spoke, an uproar immediately broke out. The contribution points of the Human Devil Cult were not like cabbages. It went against common sense to give 300 contribution points just by coming here.
"The mission this time is extremely difficult. Everyone needs to do their best. During the mission, if you feel that you don't have any strength left, you can apply to withdraw at any time."
The man in the Daoist robe repeated his words, but it made everyone feel even more uneasy. They had never encountered such a mission before. The reward was tempting, but it sounded extremely dangerous.
"The mission this time is to ascend to the Grand Yin Mountain. It is said that the Grand Yin Mountain was destroyed by a fragment of the Lunar Star billions of years ago. It fell in the Profound Heaven World. It was refined by a peerless expert into the Grand Yin Mountain, which was why it was built into the 108,000 steps. It was a test of the practitioner's cultivation.
However, there were still countless tiny spaces sealed in the Grand Yin Mountain. There were one or several devils in each space. These devils were either strong or weak. However, because they had been contaminated by a trace of the power of extreme Yin, they had fallen into a deep slumber. Until now, it was still unknown. Their life force had never been extinguished.
Every ten thousand years, these devils would awaken once.
And during the process of ascending to the Grand Yin Mountain, those tiny sealed spaces would also be opened randomly.
After entering the sealed spaces, you will have a life and death battle with those sealed devils. Those who kill the devils will receive all kinds of rewards from the sealed spaces. There will also be the contribution points from the Human Devil Cult! "
The man in the Daoist robe explained in detail.
Everyone felt relieved. It turned out that it was just a small risk. It was not a big deal.
However, Miao Yaner was sneering. "Since this mission was personally led by the special grade Deacon, it means that the difficulty of this mission is definitely not low. The probability of casualties is at least 90%."
The man in the Daoist robe then shut his mouth and did not say anything. He did not even explain the hundreds of people who walked down from the flying boat.
Only Miao Yaner's face became uglier, "How can this be? This is clearly the fortune of Black Tortoise City. How can we let the practitioners of the other eight cities participate?"
A man with a goatee and shifty eyes walked down from the flying boat. He was a spy with a voice. After he got off the boat, he walked towards this direction.
"Of course, it's because the cultivators of Black Tortoise City are weak and can't enjoy such a good fortune. Don't worry, if we obtain the treasure, we will share a piece of it with you."
The goatee's smile was extremely crafty and it made Miao Yaner hold her breath.
Lin Fann and Qian Rushan had already walked towards the Grand Yin Mountain. They were born in the Black Tortoise City and had heard about all kinds of mysterious things in the Grand Yin Mountain since childhood. But they had never seen it with their own eyes.
"Two rash little fellows, they really don't know what's good for them!" The goatee continued to ridicule, causing Miao Yaner's face to turn red. This mockery was clearly directed at her. No matter what, Lin Fann and Qian Rushan could be considered as members of the Human Devil Cult in Black Tortoise City.
As he stepped onto the Grand Yin Mountain, Lin Fann felt a trace of a dignified aura. This kind of dignified feeling made the air tense. It didn't only affect his body. His internal organs, his soul, and his soul all felt sluggish.
After stepping onto the first step, Lin Fann suddenly felt a gust of chilly wind. This gust of cold wind was enough to blow an ordinary man who weighed one to two hundred jin to the left and right until he could no longer stand.
Of course, this kind of wind was nothing to Lin Fann. He stepped on the tenth step in a row.
The cold wind howled wildly, getting bigger and bigger. It had already reached the level that could threaten a Qi Fostering Stage Level 1 cultivator.
"Yin Wind Technique?" Lin Fann suddenly understood that this Yin Wind was actually a natural spell.
Lin Fann was too lazy to comprehend it. He directly used the second grade Duplication Qi on the Soul Sacrificial Altar to replicate the Yin Wind Technique. He only used one Duplication Qi in total.
This Level 2 Duplication Qi was specially used to replicate all kinds of spells and cultivation techniques.
Although this Yin Wind Technique was a technique that allowed one to break free from the natural state, its power was limited. It was extremely easy to comprehend.
Lin Fann circulated his magical energy slightly, and formed a gust of chilly wind around his body. It blew outwards, and offset the chilly wind that was blowing towards him. He was not affected in the slightest.
Immediately after, Lin Fann continued to climb upwards. A total of forty steps passed under his feet.
The howling of the cold wind was getting stronger and stronger, but it still belonged to the Yin Wind Technique. It only made Lin Fann need to consume a little more magic power to defend himself.
On the other side, Qian Rushan had already reached the sixty-fourth step.
He had fallen into a tiny spatial zone. That tiny spatial zone was like a bubble, wrapping around Qian Rushan. Everyone in the outside world could see what was happening inside.
This was a Qi Cultivating Level Seven devil. Qian Rushan had killed it with ease.
The Human Devil Cult rewarded him with 50 contribution points, and at the same time, Qian Rushan also obtained the devil's corpse and blood.
When the others saw how easily Qian Rushan obtained a reward, all of them went crazy. They kept shouting and running towards the Grand Yin Mountain.
This was not a trial at all, but a free reward.
One bubble after another appeared, and one devil after another was easily killed.
However, there was an exception. A Body Refining Level Three warrior had rushed to the 400th step in an instant.
He encountered a Hidden Acupoint Level One devil. He was trapped in an independent space, and before he could even cry for help, he was smashed into pieces by the Hidden Acupoint Stage devil.
His flesh and blood had turned into mud, and he didn't even have the time to let out a low cry. This was a genius chosen by the Human Devil Cult, and he couldn't even withstand a single palm strike from the devil.
Everyone shivered. Only now did they realize that this Grand Yin Mountain wasn't a good place. There were strong and weak devils, and they weren't completely distributed according to the stone grade of the Grand Yin Mountain. Even if they were on the lower level, they might still encounter some relatively strong devils.
Although the chances were small, once they encountered one, they would die.
Lin Fann leapt up and crossed three small steps. At the same time, a spiritual light flashed between his brows. He was actually using the howling cold wind to comprehend a trace of the force of the heavenly wind.
This cold wind was formed naturally, and it was circulating the Wind Law.
It was weak and strong. Almost every fifty steps, this chilly wind would undergo a qualitative change.
There was a technique that allowed one to enter the Dao.
This was a new path that Lin Fann had taken, and it was quite smooth sailing for him. He could easily leap up a hundred steps, and his control of the Yin Wind Technique had increased by at least thirty percent.
The Dao was natural.
The Force of Nature was the best teacher.
Along the way, although Lin Fann had encountered two tiny spaces, the devils he faced were not very strong. One was at the 9th level of Qi Fostering, while the other was at the Body Refining Level One. With just a wave of his hand, he was able to kill them without any hindrance.
"What is he doing? Is he trying to borrow the Grand Yin Mountain to gain enlightenment? "A Human Devil Cult Deacon from Haotian City revealed a mocking expression when he saw Lin Fann's reaction.
"Who does he think he is? The Grand Yin Mountain was marked with the perfect technique of a saint. That Saint was famous for his Wind Law. When he was alive, he had once perfected the tenth level of the Wind Law. Only after that did he leave behind this Grand Yin Mountain.
There were countless people who wanted to use this to gain enlightenment. However, almost all of them failed, because that was the law left behind by the sages. It was simply inviolable!"
Deacon from the Human Devil Cult of Haotian City and Deacon from the Human Devil Cult of Black Tortoise City had always been at odds with each other. The grudges between the two families had lasted for at least a few thousand years.
