Crossing Gloomwind Ridge Together

He stopped there and then went on to preach about the Golden Core realm.

However, those at the Golden Core realm stage are already high-level cultivators, and their cultivation often involves some secrets.

To prevent demons and enemies from spying on them, the methods and mysteries of this realm could not be easily passed on, so the True Lord Haoran set up a barrier and taught them the Dao separately.

Their discussions tended to involve questions from the Golden Core True Person, with True Lord Haoran providing answers.

Many of those Golden Core realm cultivators were disciples of True Lord Haoran. Even those who were not his disciples had already established a master-disciple relationship and could be considered to have a close bond.

The sermon lasted for three days, True Lord Haoran looked at the crowd who had benefited greatly and said.

"This sermon ends here. If you still have questions, please come back in sixty years."

"We respectfully bid farewell to the True Lord."

Everyone quickly stood up and respectfully saw True Lord Haoran off.

As soon as Chen Nianzhi stood up, he heard the woman in green smile and say, "Let me introduce myself. I am Yu Qingyan, and I greet you, fellow Daoist."

"My name is Chen Nianzhi." Chen Nianzhi cupped his hands in greeting and said politely, "Greetings, Fairy Yu."

Yu Qingyan smiled, a hint of delight in her eyes, and said, "You come from outside the Heaven's Spine Mountains. I wonder if you intend to stay in the Heaven's Spine Mountains Heaven's Spine Mountains if you plan to traverse it?"

Seemingly fearing Chen Nianzhi might misunderstand, she added, "I'm planning to go to the Heavenly Hut Continent in a few days, and I was thinking that if you have the means, we could help each other cross Gloomwind Mountain."

"Gloomwind Mountain"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly as she recalled the information she had gathered about Gloomwind Mountain.

Gloomwind Mountain is a unique terrain feature within the Heaven's Spine Mountains and a necessary route to the Heavenly Hut Continent.

The Gloomwind Mountain blow day and night over Nine Nether Astral Wind Mountain, making it impossible for anyone below the Purple Mansion cultivation level to fly across on a sword. Even Purple Mansion cultivators would need to expend a large amount of Law Power to cross it.

Furthermore, the Gloomwind Mountain is also home to the Gloomwind Vultures, a group of Demon Beast beasts. These Gloomwind Vultures, which are born from the Gloomwind Mountain, are virtually inexhaustible. Even cultivators at the Purple Mansion level would find it exhausting to deal with them, and might even face the danger of perishing.

Therefore, in order to cross Gloomwind Mountain, cultivators of the Purple Mansion not only need to be in their prime, but most of them will also try to travel in groups.

Thinking about this, Chen Nianzhi pondered to himself, "Crossing Gloomwind Mountain alone does indeed carry some risks."

"Yu Qingyan's aura seems to be that of Wind Spirit Root, and her cultivation level is also at the Mid-Purple Mansion realm. If we were to travel together, it should be able to share some of the pressure."

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "If I could be accompanied by a fairy, I would be more than happy to do so."

Seeing that he agreed, Yu Qingyan's eyes flashed with a smile and she said, "I have been waiting for almost half a year, and finally I have found a cultivator who can traverse Gloomwind Mountain with me."

"..."

Now that Chen Nianzhi had finished resting, the two of them set off for the Heavenly Hut Continent the next day without lingering.

After flying for over 600,000 miles, the two finally arrived at Gloomwind Mountain.

"The Nine Nether Astral Wind on Gloomwind Ridge are fierce, and they will consume a great deal of Law Power."

Looking at the Gloomwind Mountain before her, Yu Qingyan took out a cyan treasure boat. "Let's travel in the treasure boat first, and save our remaining strength and Law Power to deal with the Gloomwind Vultures that may appear."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and boarded the cyan treasure boat with her.

That cyan treasure boat was a low-grade third-tier treasure boat. The energy stored in such a treasure boat should theoretically be enough to travel more than a million miles.

However, the Nine Nether Astral Wind were too fierce, consuming too much energy from the treasure ship and slowing its flight speed by dozens of times.

After flying for only three days, Yu Qingyan's azure treasure boat had exhausted its energy and she had to disembark to prepare to continue flying on her sword.

But Chen Nianzhi shook her head, took out the Purple-Blood Boat, and said, "I brought this boat with me; it should be enough to fly over Gloomwind Ridge."

"My darling."

Yu Qingyan showed a look of surprise and followed Chen Nianzhi the Purple-Blood Boat.

The Purple-Blood Boat flew through the Nine Nether Astral Wind for thousands of miles when suddenly a mournful cry was heard.

Chen Nianzhi looked up and saw a huge flock of black birds flying over from the horizon.

"Oh no, it's Gloomwind Vultures!"

Yu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise. There were at least hundreds of thousands of Gloomwind Vultures in front of her. Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion would have to turn around and leave.

Seeing the Gloomwind Vultures sweeping in like a Gloomwind Vultures wave, Chen Nianzhi quickly urged the Purple-Blood Boat to turn around, trying to go around them from the other side.

However, countless Gloomwind Vultures clearly had no intention of letting them go, and they swarmed over them in a massive attack.

"Evil creature."

Chen Nianzhi's gaze turned cold. He summoned the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords, which flew out and transformed into two streaks of light, crisscrossing and slashing, instantly killing hundreds of Gloomwind Vultures and carving out an opening.

Yu Qingyan also joined the attack, unleashing her Life-bound Magical Treasure, the "Fragrant-Wind Bone-Eroding Soul-Swaying Bottle." Gusts of azure wind swept out from the bottle, blowing countless Gloomwind Vultures to their knees and even eroding their flesh and blood.

Most of these Gloomwind Vultures are not very strong; out of hundreds of thousands, there are only two Purple Mansion Realm Vultures, so for the time being, they do not pose much of a danger to the two.

However, the Nine Nether Astral Wind here had a great impact on the two of them, even slowing down the Purple-Blood Boat. Meanwhile, the Gloomwind Vultures were able to ride the wind, making it difficult for them to completely shake off these low-level Demon Beast for a while.

If it were an ordinary cultivator at the Purple Mansion, once their Law Power was exhausted, they would likely be in danger of perishing.

The two weren't very lucky; large Demon Beast of hundreds of thousands of Gloomwind Vultures are extremely rare and not easy to encounter.

Generally speaking, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level would be confident in defeating a flock of tens of thousands of Gloomwind Vultures if they encountered such a force.

Be careful.

Chen Nianzhi once again drew her Heavenly Separation Twin Swords, slaying several Tier 2 Demon Beast with ease, and solemnly reminded them.

Yu Qingyan nodded, gritted her teeth, and said, "You'd better sit tight."

As soon as she finished speaking, she activated a wind-attribute Divine Ability, "Clear Moon Wind-Riding Escape," and Divine Ability the Purple-Blood Boat with it.

In an instant, the Purple-Blood Boat was enveloped by a beam of light. Not only was it no longer affected by the Nine Nether Astral Wind, but it also rode the Nine Nether Astral Wind and rose up, increasing its speed by a large margin.

"What incredible Divine Ability!"

Chen Nianzhi had just finished praising the supernatural Divine Ability when his expression suddenly froze.

On the horizon, two Purple Mansion Demon Vultures, seeing that they were about to escape, actually broke away from the demon horde and stood directly in front of them.

"Not good!"

"Clang--"

Yu Qingyan had barely uttered her words when she saw Chen Nianzhi instantly stand before the treasure ship.

A moment later, a sword's cry rang out.

The sword light emanating from the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords illuminated the endless night sky, and with a clang, they slashed simultaneously towards the Purple Mansion Demon Vulture.

The two Purple Mansion Demon Vultures' pupils contracted slightly, and they quickly flapped their wings to unleash the boundless power of the Nine Nether Astral Wind, unleashing their Natal Divine Ability Gloomwind Slash.
