Destruction Mountain Range
Wu Qi guessed that the commotion that Destruction Mountain Range was most likely caused by the God of Destruction.
However, in order to ensure that the Qiangu Changkong could safely absorb the Dragon Pearl, they had previously lived in the wild and had no contact with people.
It wasn't until the Divine Trial appeared that the situation regarding the Destruction Mountain Range was learned.
It did take some time.
In response to the Chai Brothers ' inquiry, Wu Qi replied, "It is indeed related to me. Here's a piece of advice: if you want to gain experience from this, you can cultivate for a while in a location at the foot of the mountain where the Thunder is weaker."
"If you don't care about your lives, you can head towards the Summit."
The two brothers chuckled dryly and shrugged. "Thank you for the reminder, sir. We brothers know what to do."
The two may seem a bit eccentric, but their ages are a factor to consider.
It's clearly unrealistic to expect them to cultivate in a self-destructive manner.
"We brothers have been away for quite some time now. Since this Fortuitous Opportunity has found its Master, we have no reason to stay any longer."
"Gentlemen, if you ever come to Vast Sea City in the future, remember to visit my Chai Family mansion. We brothers will treat you to a meal and show you the local customs and culture of Vast Sea City."
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Wu Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "Gentlemen, please wait a moment. Um..."
Previously at the Auction House, he and Qiangu Changkong had spent 99% of their money. In order to cope with the changes that were about to happen, they needed to keep some money on hand.
The roasted lamb here isn't cheap; one lamb costs more than ten Gold Soul Coin.
Of course, he could afford to take on one or two Wu Qi. The key issue was that he and Qiangu Changkong would be entering the mountains to cultivate and wouldn't be coming out for a while.
They were running out of rations, but if they could buy all the mutton here, they could train in the mountains for more than half a year without any problem.
Chai Rong smiled wryly at their request.
When Wu Qi offered his Soul Bone as payment, it was a sign of insufficient funds. Furthermore, the other party was meticulous in their dealings and did not collect payment from them, which explained their current financial straits.
In the end, Chai Rong generously bought all the sheep from the herdsmen and gave them to the two men as a gift between friends.
Taking advantage of the break between slaughtering and roasting the sheep, Wu Qi activated his Martial Soul and flew towards the Destruction Mountain Range to investigate the situation.
At this moment, the Destruction Mountain Range was enveloped in heavy Thunder, and no trace of any Soul Beast could be seen inside. Even the trees had been completely burned, leaving a desolate scene everywhere.
However, the area above the mountainside is shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult for outsiders to see what's inside during training.
To test the strength of the Thunder, Wu Qi activated his Domain of Destruction and deliberately faced a bolt of lightning.
The power of the domain is of the same origin as the Destruction Lightning, which greatly reduces the damage to Wu Qi.
He only felt a slight numbness throughout his body, but there was no physical damage.
"It seems that the Thunder are not the main obstacle I need to overcome."
After activating his domain, even the most raging Thunder could not harm him. Wu Qi estimated that the main difficulty of this assessment would be how to obtain the Scepter.
Meanwhile, on the south side of the mountain range, the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire gathered.
In contrast, there are more people gathered here.
Not only were there powerful figures sent by the Imperial Family and nobles, but also various prominent families from the common people came to join in the fun.
The Clear Sky Sect's group set up their Camp in an inconspicuous corner to avoid being noticed by others.
The team was led by Tang Xiao and included Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Tang Long, among other outstanding young disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.
By concealing their whereabouts at this time, they are plotting to seize the Fortuitous Opportunity within the Destruction Mountain Range.
Inside the Camp, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "I have never seen such terrifying Thunder in my entire life. I'm afraid even Titled Douluo would be severely injured by this Thunder."
Tang Xiao continued, "Grandmaster, when you were in the Spirit Hall, did you see a similar scene in the database?"
After some thought, Yu Xiaogang finally shook his head.
The Destruction Mountain Range are located in a wilderness area. If it weren't for the fertile grasslands at the foot of the mountains, even herders would probably not come here.
In such a remote place, even if a great Fortuitous Opportunity arises, it would be difficult for anyone to discover it.
Furthermore, the Spirit Hall possesses a terrifyingly large collection of books; even if Yu Xiaogang read day and night, it would be impossible for him to read them all.
Tang Xiao sighed softly, "Grandmaster, your guess was too conservative. I just sensed the Thunder on the mountainside; even I would have been severely injured."
Tang Long was shocked and exclaimed, "Sect Master, even you can't do it?"
If there is an extraordinary Fortuitous Opportunity here, it must be at the mountain peak.
But now, even Tang Xiao can't withstand this Thunder attack. How are they supposed to seize this Fortuitous Opportunity?
After a pause, Tang Xiao shooed the sect disciples out of the Camp, leaving only Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong behind.
He said in a deep voice, "Grandmaster, I suspect that the source of this terrifying Thunder is related to the Gods."
Not long ago, after a period of seclusion, Tang Xiao's strength had just broken through to Level 97. If even he could only reach the halfway point of the mountain, then by calculation, even Limit Douluo like Qian Daoliu would not be able to reach the summit.
Ordinary natural disasters have no effect on Titled Douluo. But the Thunder here can even kill Titled Douluo. What other explanation could there be besides it being the work of Gods?
Yu Xiaogang was silent for a moment, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said, "Even if it's a testing ground set up by the Gods, no one can reach the summit. What's the point of this test?"
"Little San and the others have already gone to Sea God Island. With Little San's Talent, he might even have a chance to obtain the Sea God's inheritance. The Gods here might not be as powerful as the Sea God."
"In my opinion, we don't need to waste our time here."
Tang Xiao waved his hand, a faint smile on his face, "Since the sect has sent Tang Long and the others this time, there's no reason for them to return empty-handed."
"The Gods behind this should realize that the assessment it set is somewhat unreasonable. Or perhaps, it's simply not open yet."
"I believe the Thunder here will subside soon. At that time, I will lead the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect to attempt to climb the mountain."
"We are currently unaware of the situation regarding the Little San. However, if we can obtain Gods inheritance here, it might not be a bad thing."
"Once Little San and the others return, if they obtain the Sea God Inheritance, then we'll have two successors of the god. At the very least, we must ensure that one of them receives the inheritance. Only then will we have any hope of avenging ourselves against the Spirit Hall."
Yu Xiaogang thought there was some truth to it, but deep down he didn't want the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect to be on equal footing with his precious disciples.
Even if someone is destined to receive this Fortuitous Opportunity, it would be best if it were Tang Xiao, rather than Tang Long or the others.
After leaving Vast Sea City, the Shrek Six Monsters disappeared without a trace, Yu Xiaogang missed Tang San very much.
It's important to understand that without Tang San, he has absolutely no say in the Clear Sky Sect at this moment, and he doesn't even have the right to sit at the table.
If he hadn't endured so much disdain from the Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, why would he have volunteered to come here?
