Sky Scar Apex, Land of Certain Death?
"You!"
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
Why bother arguing with an idiot?
If you get sick from getting angry, you'll be the one who suffers.
Chu Zhiwei calmed herself down a bit and changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about this."
Let's return to the story of Sky Scar Sword Mountain.
This Sword Mountain is divided into three areas.
The first area, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, is called the Rust Iron Forest Sea. It is a mutated forest eroded by Rust Disease, also known as Metalized Wood.
It stands a hundred feet tall, its surface covered in rust, making it extremely fragile, but its heartwood is incredibly hard.
The aura it emits is called Rust Spiritual Qi. If cultivators inhale too much of it, it will damage their foundation and meridians. Cultivators with low cultivation levels cannot even stay for three days. There are two main types of Demon Beast living in this area. One is the Iron Bone Zheng, whose strength can reach the Third Stage.
The second type is the Rust Iron Demon Cat.
"The second area, from the mountainside to the Cloud Line, is called the Bare Rock Sword Ridge. This area has no trees or shrubs, only bare gray-gold rocks, the surface of which is covered with crisscrossing sword marks and gullies."
Each sword-marked groove exudes a strong Sword Intent, and there is a high probability that Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass is growing there.
The closer to the Cloud Line, the easier it is to find, since it is not a very dangerous area and Golden Core cultivators have already set foot there.
Entering this area requires caution due to the Thousand Blade Eagle, which are extremely fast, making them a formidable opponent for cultivators of the same level.
Then there are the Sword Slave. Over the years, countless cultivators have died here, many of whom were affected by the Sword Sha Qi here.
It has no consciousness, but retains the sword techniques of the cultivator in life. After being killed, it will drop a Sword Core containing Sword Sha Qi, but ordinary cultivators will find it difficult to refine it directly.
That's about it. You'll know the details when we get to Sword Mountain.
Seeing Chu Zhiwei stop, Zhang Chongxian turned to look at her and asked:
"Aren't there three areas? Why are you only saying two?"
"Because no one knows anything about the third area."
The area above the Cloud Line is called the Sky Scar Apex.
It's Land of Certain Death you can only go in and never come out!
For hundreds of thousands of years, all those who crossed the Cloud Line, whether Golden Core True Person or powerful Nascent Soul True Lord, have vanished without a trace.
Even the Spirit Transmutation Late Stage Peerless Sword Cultivator who came from the Central Land Immortal Continent disappeared without a trace.
From then on, that layer of gray-gold Cloud Fluff in the sky became Forbidden Zone, and no one dared to set foot there again.
However, let's not even think about it. Without reaching Nascent Soul stage, we can't even get to the inner perimeter of the Bare Rock Sword Ridge, let alone touch the edge of that Cloud Line. The higher we go, the stronger the Sword Slave become. Even Nascent Soul Realm Sword Slave have appeared.
If you're unlucky enough to encounter Sword Mound Vengeful Spirit, then you're truly doomed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxian's lips curled up. "Interesting."
There must be a great fortuitous opportunity at the Sky Scar Apex; if I have the chance in the future, I must go there.
"No! I won't allow it!" Chu Zhiwei shouted.
But the next moment he realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate. "Um, what I mean is, you can't go looking for death."
Even a peerless swordsman in the Late-stage Spirit Transformation has vanished without a trace there, so why would you risk your life there?"
Zhang Chongxian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, even if I wanted to go, I wouldn't have the ability."
Didn't you say that without reaching the Nascent Soul, one can't even get to the inner perimeter of the Bare Rock Sword Ridge?
He can't go now; firstly, he lacks the ability, and secondly, he can't let go of his Lineage.
Once the Lineage prospers and is safe, and when he has enough strength, he will definitely go and make his own way.
I would die without regret!
"Who's worried about you? We've known each other for so long, we just don't want you to go and die."
After saying that, he suddenly accelerated and flew in front of Zhang Chongxian.
Zhang Chongxian shook his head helplessly, suppressing his cultivation to the Early Golden Core while releasing his Divine Sense to be vigilant about everything around him.
Four hours later, the two arrived at the foot of Sword Mountain without any major incident.
Sensing the rich, Rust Spiritual Qi around him, Zhang Chongxian, driven by curiosity, actively absorbed some of it.
He then closed his eyes and began to sense it, and saw the gray-gold Spiritual Qi rapidly flowing through his meridians.
Before long, it merged with the Geng Gold Spiritual Qi within his body.
I didn't feel any harm to myself at all; in fact, I even felt a sense of shared origin.
Could it be...?
An idea popped into Zhang Chongxian's mind: the Spiritual Qi energy cultivated by the Great Evolution Geng Gold Scripture could assimilate the Rust Spiritual Qi here!
To confirm his suspicions, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Zhiwei, saying:
"Chu Zhiwei, can this Rust Spiritual Qi be refined or assimilated?"
"Of course not." Chu Zhiwei was very confident. "Absorbing this Rust Spiritual Qi into the body will only cause blockages in the meridians."
If you keep storing it in your body, it will make the spiritual Spiritual Qi you cultivate impure and chaotic.
It affects the foundation of the path.
"Could you possibly refine this Rust Spiritual Qi?" Chu Zhiwei asked Zhang Chongxian with a questioning look.
Zhang Chongxian was naturally not foolish enough to tell the truth.
Although I had a good impression of Chu Zhiwei during this period, you can only know a person's face but not their heart.
Who knows what ulterior motives the other party might have after learning the truth?
The reply was, "Of course not, isn't this asking if you have any solutions?"
The Rust Spiritual Qi; if there were a way to absorb and assimilate it, it would definitely be of great benefit to cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhiwei looked at Zhang Chongxian with suspicion.
Her sixth sense told her that Zhang Chongxian wasn't telling the truth.
However, just as she was pondering this, a piercing sound rang out:
"Hahaha! Crimson Spear True Person, I never expected you to like such a fool!"
Hehe, Early Golden Core, pitifully weak, probably needs your protection, right?
"Besides being a bit handsome, in what other way can he compare to me?"
As the piercing sound rang out, two figures appeared in Zhang Chongxian's field of vision.
One was a skinny, monkey-like Thin Middle-aged Man, and the other was a burly Scarred Big Man!
Both of them exuded the aura of Golden Core Mid Stage cultivators, indicating considerable strength.
The Thin Middle-aged Man looked at Zhang Chongxian and sneered, mocking, "Kid, you've got some nerve."
How dare you touch Laozi woman!
You really don't know how to write the word "death"!
"You spouting nonsense, you bastard!"
He's like a stubborn plaster, I can't get rid of him!
"Go to hell!" Hearing the Thin Middle-aged Man's words, Chu Zhiwei was filled with rage.
His Golden Core Mid Stage cultivation erupted in full.
The raging flames swept around, and the Flame Spear in his hand instantly transformed into a soaring fire Fire Dragon, piercing straight at the Thin Middle-aged Man.
