That range of mountains stretched vast and boundless.
Within the endless mountain domain riddled with ravines.
Xiao Chen saw an ancient painting scroll.
A towering, majestic man of extraordinary stature.
He held a Mountain God spirit staff fashioned from black jade and a ferocious beast.
His feet stood upon gray, shadowy clouds.
He stood proudly within it.
The scroll was majestic.
Vast as a mountain.
It hung in the void.
All around it.
The mountain peaks surged like waves.
Great ravines became seas.
They soared into the sky and crashed against the clouds.
That strange painting scroll.
Was like the king of all mountains.
It stood at the very center.
The mountains gathered around it in homage.
Like the sun and moon.
"Is this... the Mountain God Manifestation?"
At a glance, Xiao Chen recognized the terrifying foot hovering above the gray clouds beneath that majestic man. It was precisely part of the Mountain God Manifestation that the Li Tu Divine Seed had previously outlined before the mountain tomb.
"It dragged me into this fantastical realm, yet its true body did not appear, leaving behind only a painting scroll. What does the Mountain God mean by this? When the Li Tu Divine Seed tested it earlier, did what appear before him also amount to nothing more than a painting scroll?"
Gazing at the terrifying scroll as enormous as a mountain before him, Xiao Chen's feelings were complicated, and he felt somewhat disappointed.
Generally speaking.
In an inheritance trial.
If one truly won the favor of a rare treasure.
The true master would most likely appear in person.
To bestow enlightenment and fortune.
Yet now.
The Mountain God's true body had not appeared.
Only a painting scroll had been presented.
Did that prove.
That he did not think highly of Xiao Chen?
