Kunlun Mountain, a Great Opportunity? Entering Buzhou Mountain to Temper the Physical Body!
Hearing this, Kuafu leaped out from the massive crater, his gaze fixed squarely on Qin Mu.
"Good, that was satisfying!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, you win!"
Kuafu sighed, voluntarily conceding defeat.
He knew clearly in his heart that had this been a battle of life and death, he would likely have fallen by now.
The strength of Qin Mu far exceeded anything he had imagined.
Moreover, in the battle just now, Qin Mu had only manifested his true form and had not even utilized any numinous treasures or divine abilities.
The Wu Clan were warlike and held strength in the highest regard.
Seeing that Qin Mu's strength was so formidable, Kuafu was convinced of his defeat.
The many living beings watching the spectacle were all in an uproar.
Who could have imagined that Qin Mu would be able to defeat a Great Witch known for his physical prowess in a head-on confrontation?
"He won?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu actually defeated the Great Witch Kuafu?"
"Isn't this too powerful?"
"What kind of primordial spiritual object is his true form, anyway?"
"It is truly terrifying!"
"..."
Qin Mu paid no mind to the exclamations of the crowd. After offering a smile to Kuafu, he turned back toward Duobao and Yu Ding.
At this moment, both Duobao and Yu Ding were speechless, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, you... isn't this strength of yours a bit too outrageous?"
Yu Ding exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu smiled faintly and did not answer Yu Ding, turning his gaze instead to Duobao:
"Fellow Daoist Duobao."
"I intend to enter Buzhou Mountain this time, and it will likely be a very long time before I emerge."
"If you cannot wait, you may head to Kunlun Mountain."
Having said this, Qin Mu paused slightly before adding with profound meaning:
"There, perhaps, lies your own great opportunity."
Without waiting for Duobao to react, Qin Mu turned and walked into Buzhou Mountain.
Seeing this, Kuafu made no move to stop him.
After all, the rules of the Wu Clan were set: whoever could defeat him was free to enter and exit Buzhou Mountain as they pleased.
Duobao watched Qin Mu's receding back and murmured in slight confusion:
"Kunlun Mountain?"
"A great opportunity?"
Although he was very puzzled, after spending so many years together, Duobao knew that Qin Mu would not speak without purpose.
Since he had told him to go to Kunlun Mountain, there must be a reason for it.
After a moment of thought, a flash of determination crossed Duobao's eyes, and he decided to head to Kunlun Mountain to find out the truth.
Seeing that Duobao was about to leave, Yu Ding hurriedly called out to stop him:
"Fellow Daoist Duobao, wait!"
"Hmm?"
Duobao turned back to look at Yu Ding, his face full of bewilderment:
"Does Fellow Daoist Yu Ding have something else to say?"
Yu Ding did not answer immediately, appearing lost in thought.
Just now, when he heard Qin Mu mention Kunlun Mountain, he felt a faint tugging sensation deep within his heart, as if by some mysterious fate.
It was as if something was waiting for him there.
"Could it be that there is also some great opportunity waiting for me at Kunlun Mountain?"
Suddenly, this thought flashed through Yu Ding's mind.
He mused that if he could become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, it would truly be a monumental stroke of fortune for him.
At this thought, Yu Ding quickly collected himself and smiled at Duobao:
"Fellow Daoist Duobao, I am no match for the Great Witch Kuafu, and staying here is useless."
"Why don't I accompany you to Kunlun Mountain?"
Hearing what Yu Ding said, Duobao was slightly taken aback, but without much thought, he nodded:
"Very well!"
Thereupon, Duobao and Yu Ding did not linger and departed together.
After the two left, many of the other living beings present also chose to retreat.
Having witnessed the strength of the Great Witch Kuafu, they all possessed self-awareness.
With their own strength, they simply could not defeat Kuafu.
Kuafu did not mind this.
He was only responsible for guarding the entrance; whoever could defeat him like Qin Mu did would naturally be allowed to pass.
Just then, a figure arrived at the entrance of Buzhou Mountain.
This person was massive, carrying a giant axe on his shoulder and holding a shield in his other hand.
The newcomer possessed a powerful aura, and with every step he took, the earth seemed to tremble.
It was none other than another Great Witch of the Wu Clan, Xing Tian!
Soon, Xing Tian walked up to Kuafu, staring at him with burning eyes:
"Kuafu, I heard you were defeated by someone?"
"Where is that person?"
Hearing this, Kuafu gave a bitter smile, somewhat helpless, and looked toward the interior of Buzhou Mountain:
"He has already entered Buzhou Mountain."
"Oh?"
Xing Tian let out a sound of surprise, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Having heard from his clansmen that the Great Witch Kuafu had been defeated, Xing Tian had rushed over immediately.
He had wanted to see what kind of sacred being could defeat Kuafu.
After all, in the tribe where he resided, Kuafu was the strongest warrior besides himself.
"Interesting."
"I would like to meet the person who could defeat Kuafu."
Xing Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with anticipation.
Hearing this, Kuafu smiled faintly and said nothing more.
"Boom!"
On the other side, Qin Mu had already entered the depths of Buzhou Mountain.
The moment he stepped inside, a terrifying pressure descended upon him.
"What... what a terrifying aura!"
Qin Mu sighed to himself; with his cultivation as a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, he found himself struggling to breathe under this oppressive force.
"Hoo!"
After a brief pause, Qin Mu took a deep breath.
"Buzhou Mountain is truly worthy of being the spine of the Great God Pangu."
"Just staying inside here creates such oppressive pressure!"
"A place like this is a perfect spot to temper the physical body!"
With this thought, a flash of determination crossed Qin Mu's eyes; he intended to use the pressure within Buzhou Mountain to temper his own body.
He tensed his muscles, dispelling all his magic power.
Relying solely on his physical strength, he began to climb Buzhou Mountain.
What shocked Qin Mu was that without the support of magic power, every step was arduous, as if he were carrying a giant mountain on his back.
"Gritting my teeth..."
"Persist!"
Qin Mu bit his lip, his expression full of resolve.
Unknowingly, a thousand years passed.
Over these thousand years, Qin Mu had been climbing Buzhou Mountain using only his physical body.
At the beginning, he could only take one step a day.
In truth, with every step he took, the pressure he endured increased by a fraction.
By the end, Qin Mu had gradually adapted to the pressure, and he could manage ten steps a day.
Besides this, Qin Mu also discovered that as he tempered his body in this way, his flesh and blood were undergoing a qualitative change, with every inch seemingly containing terrifying power.
The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique passed down to him by the Three Pure Ones had also reached the third revolution.
At the same time, what surprised Qin Mu even more was that his true form, the Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass, had become increasingly solid under the tempering of this pressure.
The thirty-six sword leaves were sharper than ever, and the green lotus at the center was blooming with even more flows of Chaos energy.
Meanwhile, at Kunlun Mountain.
Three vast auras surged into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens.
The next moment, three figures emerged from their seclusion.
Laozi had the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda hovering above his head, his eyes as deep as an abyss; Yuanshi held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, with Dao Resonance flowing around him; Tongtian carried the Qingping Sword on his back, his Sword Qi spanning ten thousand miles.
After emerging from seclusion, the three looked at each other, seeing that each had made their own advancements during their time apart.
