After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Purple Moon Fairy finished her cultivation session, and the pallor drained from her face, replaced by a healthy flush.
She stood up and looked toward the giant mountain not far away.
A flight of stone steps covered in azure moss stretched from the foot of the mountain to the mountain top, with green trees casting shade on both sides.
Purple Moon Fairy's expression grew strange. The existence of stone steps meant that someone lived here. Could this be the location of Lord Wildwind's Seated Immortal Cave?
She released her divine sense to its fullest, but it was blocked by a restriction as soon as it approached the middle of the mountain.
After pondering briefly, she took out a round pearl the size of a pigeon's egg. Runes flickered across its surface before it transformed into a streak of spiritual light and sank into the ground.
This was a Sensing Pearl, an essential item for a treasure hunt. She did not know what restrictions the giant mountain contained. If she accidentally triggered one, Wang Qingshan could still follow the Sensing Pearl and come after her.
Purple Moon Fairy ordered the ape Puppet Beast to walk toward the giant mountain. One step, ten steps, a hundred steps—the ape Puppet Beast moved slowly and did not touch any restriction.
She glanced at the volcanic range behind her, then walked toward the giant mountain.
When she reached the middle of the mountain, a stretch of thick white mist lay ahead, obscuring everything within.
The ape Puppet Beast strode into the white mist without anything unusual happening. After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the ape Puppet Beast emerged from the mist and returned to Purple Moon Fairy's side.
