Sacred Mountain Baptism

Inside the luxurious hall of the F9-class universe spacecraft.

A black-haired young man wearing a set of perfectly fitted Dark Red Battle Armor sat on a sofa in the hall.

Boom!

Li Ze felt the entire spacecraft tremble slightly. Five seconds later, everything returned to normal.

"All soldiers participating in the Sacred Mountain Baptism, attention. We have arrived at our destination, the Sacred Mountain Barracks on Yulan Continent! Prepare to disembark!"

Upon hearing the spacecraft broadcast, all the Universe level soldiers rose to their feet and waited quietly.

Hiss!

The universe spacecraft's hatch opened!

Li Ze and the many Universe level soldiers began walking out through the hatch.

The spacecraft had landed on a metal Plaza, located within a military base built from earthy yellow metal.

"This... this is the Sacred Mountain!" The moment Li Ze arrived at the Plaza, he was stunned by the mountain range that blotted out the sky to the north of the city, his eyes widening round.

Many of the other Universe level soldiers who had disembarked also stood frozen in place.

The Universe level Sacred Mountain of Yulan Continent had arrived!

In the distance, milky-white Peaks rose one after another, as though they had been piled from white jade. Each stood over a million kilometers tall, with streams of Mystic Patterns radiating Flowing Light across their surfaces. Around the middle of each Peak, countless asteroid-like celestial bodies revolved like belts around the Sacred Mountains. Li Ze had seen too many magnificent sights in the universe, and even enormous celestial bodies would not have shocked him. Yet this Sacred Mountain range on Yulan Continent... was simply too awe-inspiring!

This was not the Virtual Universe. This was reality!

How big must this be? Li Ze clicked his tongue inwardly.

The asteroid-like celestial bodies floating and revolving around the mountainsides of the Sacred Mountains were practically sesame-sized Little Dots!

"This... it's tens of millions of times larger than any mountain range I've ever seen. No, the height of every single mountain is comparable to Lanlong Star's diameter. It's too huge!" Li Ze held his breath.

"Snap out of it!" King Huilei's deep, authoritative voice rang in everyone's minds.

The stunned crowd quickly came back to their senses and immediately lined up in formation on the Plaza.

"King Huilei!" Everyone saluted King Huilei.

Whoosh!

King Huilei waved his hand and stored away the universe spacecraft beside him, then looked at the crowd.

"What do you think? This Sacred Mountain is magnificent, isn't it?" King Huilei said with a smile.

Occasionally interacting with these little Universe level fellows made King Huilei feel much younger at heart. He did not mind telling them a little about the Sacred Mountain of Yulan Continent.

"This Sacred Mountain on Yulan Continent is actually made up of 1,081 Peaks, each 1.3 million kilometers high. These Peaks were rebuilt by the Qishen Clan based on the Primordial Sacred Mountain. Every ten epochs, Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid is produced. Due to special reasons, the eighty-one central Peaks cannot be used, so whenever the Sacred Mountain opens, only one thousand Universe level lifeforms may enter!"

"This time, our Human Race won the Sacred Mountain Battle. The soldiers of the other two races have temporarily withdrawn from Yulan Continent. Next, you will pass through the Teleportation Channels and enter the baptism halls inside the various Peaks! Remember! Begin the baptism immediately after entering. Once the Sacred Mountain's opening period ends, all of you will be expelled. How much you gain will depend on your own fortune!"

King Huilei directly explained the Sacred Mountain's origins and the method of the Sacred Mountain Baptism to everyone.

"Next, follow the guides to the teleportation hall and enter the Sacred Mountain Peaks!" King Huilei issued his final order.

"Yes!" everyone replied loudly in unison!

Then King Huilei vanished from midair.

"Please follow me." A Domain Lord soldier who had long been waiting on the Plaza called out directly to the thousand Universe level soldiers present, then turned and flew into the distance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seeing this, everyone also flew into the air, about twenty meters above the ground, and followed the Domain Lord logistics soldier.

Soon, they arrived before a huge metal hall. Twenty World Lord level soldiers wearing white battle armor stood guard at its entrance.

The Domain Lord soldier stepped forward and spoke with one of the World Lord soldiers. Afterward, he turned back and waved for everyone behind him to follow him inside.

Stepping into the hall, they found themselves in a square space ten thousand meters long, wide, and high.

At the center of the hall stood an enormous honeycomb-shaped metal structure. Looking carefully, there were exactly one thousand passages in the structure, each marked with a number from 1 to 1000.

"Your Intelligent Optical Computers will receive a number shortly. Enter the corresponding passage according to your number and complete the teleportation!" the Domain Lord soldier shouted to everyone.

Hearing this, Li Ze linked his consciousness to his Intelligent Optical Computer.

"Soldier Li Ze, your number for entering the Sacred Mountain Peak is '1.' Please enter the corresponding passage." Li Ze quickly received the message.

"Now, enter the passages starting from Number 1!" The Domain Lord level logistics soldier's voice rang out again.

Hearing this, Li Ze nodded to the members of Tongfeng Team beside him and headed toward the honeycomb-shaped metal structure.

Finding the Teleportation Channel marked Number 1, Li Ze immediately stepped inside.

The passage was black inside, with white-glowing crystals embedded in the ceiling.

Li Ze proceeded through the passage and soon arrived before a blue water curtain. He stepped into it.

The instant he crossed the water curtain, an unknown energy wrapped around him like flowing water. Li Ze immediately felt the force of spatial pulling, dragging him forward through a spatial passage.

Closest to the central region of the Sacred Mountain on Yulan Continent, within the core of a milky-white Peak, was a hall-like space.

The entire floor and surrounding walls of the hall were made of milky-white, jade-like stone. Streams of Origin Law Mystic Patterns flowed across the walls. The hall was three hundred meters long and wide, and fifty meters high.

At the center of the hall's floor was a pool fifty meters long and wide.

The pool was filled with translucent azure-green liquid, which radiated mysterious wisps of aura.

Directly above the pool hung a stalactite. At its lowest tip hung half a drop of translucent azure-green liquid that had yet to form completely.

On one wall to the side of the hall, a blue water curtain rippled continuously.

Splash!

A black-haired young man wearing Dark Red Battle Armor emerged from the water curtain. It was Li Ze.

After appearing in the milky-white hall through the spatial passage, Li Ze looked around the entire hall.

When his gaze landed on the pool of translucent azure-green liquid at the center of the hall, his eyes lit up.

Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid!

He then quickly walked toward the pool at the center.

As he approached it, a thought crossed his mind, and the battle armor he wore instantly vanished. The thin layer of Slo Armor clinging to the surface of his body also disappeared at once.

Splash!

Water rippled as Li Ze stepped directly into the pool.

"Hiss!"

A chill instantly traveled from his skin into his nerves. The liquid in the pool was at least over a hundred degrees below zero.

At the same time, when his skin came into contact with the Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid, the liquid directly transformed into streams of azure-green energy and entered Li Ze's body.

The energy burrowed inward through Li Ze's skin, passing through his muscles and into his blood vessels. The temperature of Li Ze's blood immediately dropped to over a hundred degrees below zero. Yet under the influence of the azure-green energy, his blood did not freeze after its temperature fell, and it continued flowing through his body.

When the blood passed through the Tanzhong Acupoint where the Origin Core was located, the azure-green energy all left the blood vessels and entered the Origin Core floating within the Tanzhong Acupoint.

"This... this liquid isn't having any effect on my body? This is... my soul is actually undergoing this kind of change!" Li Ze was inwardly shocked.

Through his conscious perception, he discovered that after the azure-green energy entered the Origin Core, it seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and all gathered directly around the soul located within the central Black Hole.

As the azure-green energy gradually increased, it directly wrapped around the soul.

Within the azure-green energy, the soul was undergoing a miraculous transformation. Mystic Patterns containing Origin Laws appeared out of thin air across the soul.

Li Ze's soul instantly felt warm and comfortable. The immense sense of comfort nearly caused Li Ze's will to lose itself in that sensation.

At this moment, Li Ze's soul, which had fused with Chaos Aura through the Chaos Bell, released threads of Chaos energy.

Hiss! The azure-green energy, which had originally been consumed extremely slowly, now seemed like gasoline set ablaze and began disappearing rapidly.

Splash! On the surface of his body, the translucent azure-green liquid covering Li Ze suddenly churned violently. Streams of translucent azure-green liquid seemed to have been summoned and rapidly merged into Li Ze's body.

The liquid throughout the entire pool was falling at a visible rate!

Li Ze's consciousness was immersed within his body at this moment, completely unaware of the changes outside.

Fluctuations of the Law of Fire Origin!

Fluctuations of the Law of Space Origin!

Fluctuations of the Origin Law of Wind!

This! These are fluctuations of the Time Origin Law!

Suddenly, Li Ze's soul sensed the fluctuations of the ten great Origin Laws. These Origin Laws seemed to have been stimulated, all becoming active and appearing clearly within Li Ze's perception.

"This! This! What exactly is happening?" Li Ze thought in shock.

Never mind. A heaven-sent opportunity is right before me. If I don't comprehend it now, when will I? Unable to figure out the reason, Li Ze stopped thinking about it and began frantically comprehending the fluctuations of the various Origin Laws.

The Golden Crow Physique within Li Ze's Inner World also became immersed in those Origin Law fluctuations. Its eyes were tightly shut as it diligently comprehended the fluctuations of the various laws.

Time gradually passed as Li Ze comprehended the Origin Laws.

Within the milky-white hall, the pool that had originally been full of translucent azure-green liquid was now draining at a frantic pace.

Four-fifths, three-quarters, two-thirds, one-half, one-third...

The liquid in the pool continued dropping rapidly. When the translucent azure-green liquid had fallen to one-tenth of its original amount—

Buzz!

A mysterious fluctuation spread from the pool, passing through the mountain body of this Sacred Mountain Peak and heading toward the eighty-one larger Sacred Mountain Peaks at the core of the entire Sacred Mountain range.

As though responding, the eighty-one Sacred Mountain Peaks at the core trembled lightly.

Splash!

An invisible fluctuation emerged from the Primordial Origin Land and descended upon the Universe level Sacred Mountain currently open on Yulan Continent, sensing the situation within the Sacred Mountain Peaks.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

A joyful emotion arose within the fluctuation, which then completely concealed the abnormality of the Sacred Mountain.

Within each of the eighty-one Sacred Mountain Peaks at the core was an azure-green crystal.

After the Peaks trembled, the azure-green crystals instantly disappeared.

Boom!

The crystals that had vanished from the cores of the eighty-one Sacred Mountain Peaks appeared above the pool in which Li Ze lay, arranging themselves into a complex pattern.

At the center of the pattern, vast azure-green energy gathered into translucent liquid and fell into the pool.

The pool, which had nearly dried up, rapidly began to refill.
