In Xue Jiu's view, he had already made himself so clear that Ye Xuan would definitely agree unless he was a fool.
After all, climbing a mountain alone means facing not only oppressive forces but also Spirit Demon, which is extremely dangerous.
If they team up, they can look out for each other.
Moreover, Ye Xuan's strength only made them take him seriously and be wary; in reality, he was still inferior to them.
If a real fight were to break out, they were all confident that they could kill Ye Xuan, but it would come at a considerable cost.
By teaming up with Ye Xuan, they were already taking care of Ye Xuan, to put it bluntly.
In an instant, not only Xue Jiu, but even the Nascent Soul Cultivator all turned their gazes to Ye Xuan.
Their eyes held a mixture of envy and frustration.
If only they could team up with Xue Jiu and the others, or with Ye Xuan.
After all, having a strong person leading the way will definitely reduce the danger.
But they also knew that this was absolutely impossible.
A strong person wouldn't take them along, much less a burden.
In their view, Ye Xuan would definitely agree to such a good deal.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Xuan shook his head in response to Xue Jiu's invitation.
He looked at Xue Jiu and said calmly, "There's no need for a team. This Holy Son is used to traveling alone and doesn't need a team. If you can't climb the mountain, you might as well forgo the opportunities here."
This statement shocked countless people.
Because everyone can see that this mountain is extraordinary. Not only is it rich in Spiritual Qi, but you can also see rays of light from afar, which are obviously some precious pills and spiritual herbs.
In this situation, Ye Xuan would rather forgo the opportunity than team up with those six Heavenly Position Realm experts. Was he joking?
Upon hearing this, Xue Jiu was slightly taken aback, then frowned. " Holy Son Ye, perhaps there are some things I haven't explained clearly."
"On this mountain, there are special rules: those who form teams are not allowed to kill each other; otherwise, the suppressive force they experience will increase dramatically, and they will die even faster."
"If you, Holy Son Ye, are afraid that we will scheme against you, then you are overthinking it. You can rest assured."
As soon as Xue Jiu finished speaking, some Nascent Soul Cultivator in the distance couldn't help but echo his words.
" Holy Son Ye, I can attest to this; it is indeed true."
"I can attest to that! On this mountain, team members absolutely cannot kill each other, or they will be crushed by the oppressive force."
"Several teams were just eliminated by the rules because of internal strife."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's heart stirred slightly.
He could naturally tell that those Nascent Soul Cultivator were not lying.
However, he still shook his head. "I still maintain that I'm used to traveling alone. Since you're not going to climb the mountain, then I'll take my leave first."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan ignored the increasingly gloomy expressions on Xue Jiu and the others' faces, and with a flash, he rushed towards the mountain.
"Hmph, what an ungrateful bastard!"
"What nonsense! We extended a kind invitation, and you actually refused! You're incredibly shameless!"
"Pah! So what if he has Chaos Sacred Body? What's so great about it? I'd like to see if he'll still be so arrogant when he tumbles down in a sorry state!"
Watching Ye Xuan's departing figure, Xue Jiu immediately turned grim and couldn't help but speak out angrily.
In their eyes, Ye Xuan was far too arrogant and ungrateful.
Just because he's a Golden Core cultivator, even if he defeated Lu Hu, does he think he's qualified to speak to them as equals?
They invited Ye Xuan Ye Xuan of respect, but Ye Xuan is so despicable that he dared to refuse.
How arrogant and conceited! They don't know what's good for them!
Ye Xuan naturally heard Xue Jiu's voices, and his eyes couldn't help but turn cold, but he ignored them.
To be honest, the cultivation level of six Heavenly Position Realm Middle Stage cultivators was still quite a challenge for Ye Xuan.
In a flash, he landed on the mountain.
In an instant, an invisible Rule Suppression descended upon him, and Ye Xuan immediately felt his legs become heavier.
"Suppressive force? Interesting!" Ye Xuan chuckled as he sensed the suppressive force, but he didn't take it to heart. He didn't slow down much and continued to rush upwards.
The current suppression has little impact on him; it's almost negligible.
At the foot of the mountain.
Xue Jiu and the others looked at Ye Xuan, who had already climbed the mountain, their faces grim and somewhat anxious.
"Let's go up too, or the good stuff might be gone."
"Well, while team members aren't allowed to kill each other, there's no such rule for others. Let's find a chance to teach that Ye Xuan a lesson. If we can kill him, hehe."
"Hmph, seeing his indifferent, sullen face makes me want to punch him. What an ungrateful bastard!"
As Xue Jiu and the others talked among themselves, they quickly disappeared and rushed towards the mountain.
However, as they rushed over, a Spiritual Qi shield appeared around Xue Jiu, enveloping all six of them.
Should we still go up?
"What are we doing going up there? Are we just going to our deaths? Six Heavenly Position Realm Middle Stage, how could we possibly be a match for them?"
"You're wrong about that. If you don't seize an opportunity, what's the point of cultivating? With so many of us teaming up and going together, I don't believe they'd dare lay a hand on us."
Seeing that Xue Jiu and the others had also gone up the mountain, the Nascent Soul Cultivator became anxious.
After exchanging words for a while, soon a group of forty or fifty people stepped out together, forming a large and orderly procession and heading towards the giant mountain.
The rest of the people stayed at the foot of the mountain, watching this scene with complicated expressions, neither climbing the mountain nor leaving.
Ye Xuan moved extremely fast, covering nearly 10,000 meters in a short period of time.
However, even so, when he looked up, he still couldn't see the top, and didn't know where the mountaintop was or how high it was.
During this 10,000-meter journey, he neither encountered the so-called Spirit Demon Xue Jiu had mentioned, nor did he see a single elixir or herb.
It's unclear whether the cultivator who climbed the mountain earlier took it, or whether he hadn't yet reached the location where the treasure appeared.
On the contrary, the suppressive force was significantly greater than at the beginning.
Of course, compared to Ye Xuan, this was still nothing and could not have any effect on him at all.
Ye Xuan continued walking, moving forward at a brisk pace, without slowing down much.
After walking nearly 20,000 meters, Ye Xuan slowed his pace because he saw two corpses.
Two blood-soaked corpses.
Of the two corpses, one had half its head missing, and its flesh was mangled and bloody, suggesting it had been swallowed whole by some kind of monstrous beast.
The other corpse was in an even worse state; its limbs and half of its dantian had been bitten off.
Moreover, judging from their manner of death, it must have taken no more than an hour.
"There are corpses, which means that cultivators were here before. Could it be that there are other living cultivators on this mountain right now?"
Ye Xuan murmured, about to take another step forward, when suddenly his expression changed. He then abruptly turned his head to the side, and his powerful Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted, unleashing a fierce punch.
