" Bronze Mountain."
Xiao Tian arrived at the foot of the mountain, squinting and using his Enhanced Byakugan to examine the massive mountain in front of him. According to the Blue Star chapter of the Primordial Hongmeng Plan, this was the true starting point for Chu Feng, the protagonist of the project.
"Hehehe, this is where things get interesting."
The magnetic field on Bronze Mountain is chaotic, and the gravity is also abnormal. The higher the altitude, the greater the gravity, which is a great test for the human body's ability to withstand it.
If an ordinary person goes up the mountain, even wearing an anti-gravity device will be useless. The magnetic field on Bronze Mountain will paralyze the anti-gravity device system. As a result, an ordinary person will lose control of the pressure in their internal organs, bleed from all seven orifices and pores, and die from internal organ collapse.
The increased gravity on Bronze Mountain doesn't pose a significant threat to Xiao Tian in his current state.
In particular, Xiao Tian was also adorned with the Heaven-Equaling Divine Ability's Copper Head and Iron Arms, his entire body enveloped in a layer of pure and holy moonlight, like a sacred being traversing the heavens.
Xiao Tian wasn't wasting energy; he was trying to increase his proficiency with the Heaven-Equaling Divine Ability, which would improve the effectiveness of the currently activated Heaven-Equaling Divine Ability Power.
These Copper Head and Iron Arms can provide Xiao Tian with a certain amount of Life Shield value to be immune to various types of damage. At the same time, during the duration of the shield's effect, it can increase Xiao Tian's damage output, critical hit rate, and chance to a certain extent. After the shield disappears, the damage will be greatly increased.
roar!
As Xiao Tian the mountain, he was spotted by a White Tiger piercing eyes.
The White Tiger with piercing eyes was taken aback at first, then became wary, and then tentatively approached.
Immediately afterwards, the White Tiger with piercing eyes prostrated itself and knelt down, blocking Xiao Tian's path.
Xiao Tian was taken aback.
" Da Bai, are you looking for death?"
The White Tiger with piercing eyes possessed extremely high intelligence, was aware of the heavens, and understood human speech. It immediately rose and performed the act of bowing to the immortals and gods.
"Huh?" Xiao Tian was genuinely confused by White Tiger's actions.
"Ding! Achievement complete: Revered as a Deity! 1 Achievement Points gained!"
Xiao Tian was surprised, and his gaze softened as he looked at the Da Bai.
"Stop bowing, get up."
After understanding, the White Tiger with piercing eyes quickly stood up, turned around, and wagged its tail at Xiao Tian like a dog's tail, conveying its message through body language.
"So you want me to follow you? Fine."
Xiao Tian Tianyi was highly skilled and daring. After checking the full map, he realized that Chu Feng and Zhou Quan had also arrived at Bronze Mountain, so he felt relieved. Since he still had some time, he decided to play with the White Tiger.
A moment later, Xiao Tian followed this guy into a secluded cave.
Inside the cave were many glittering objects, spiritual stones and gemstones full of spiritual energy.
"Is this an offer of tribute to me?"
The White Tiger with piercing eyes nodded.
Xiao Tian didn't stand on ceremony and walked over to pick up a spirit stone.
"Ding! You have obtained Bronze Mountain Spirit Stone, completing the achievement: White Tiger Presents Treasure! You have gained 1 Achievement Points!"
Xiao Tian was overjoyed.
After transferring all the spirit stones and gems to the Kamui Dimension, Xiao Tian asked the White Tiger with Hanging Eyes, "Are there any more of these? Or do you know where I can find them?"
Xiao Tian planned to send these things to Chu Feng, the protagonist of the plan, Primordial Hongmeng Plan needed to be expedited.
Of course, he didn't just blatantly throw spirit stones at Chu Feng's face and say, "Boy, I have a connection with you, and I like you. Keep these, and use them all, understand? Don't throw them away! If you do, I'll beat you up."
That kind of behavior is just incredibly stupid.
Xiao Tian had a plan in mind, and he wanted to accomplish something along the way.
Somewhere on Bronze Mountain, Chu Feng couldn't help but sneeze and rub his nose.
"What's wrong with you, Fengzi?"
"Have no idea."
"Fatty, look over there!"
Zhou Quan looked in the direction Chu Feng pointed and saw only a small Yellow Ox.
Although this Yellow Ox was of average appearance, its behavior was very strange. It ate grass harmlessly, but when a lone Evolver passed by, it would kick him Evolver with incredible skill and make him hide.
"Damn! This Yellow Ox is a monster! I misjudged it!"
Zhou Quan felt a chill run down his spine. He recalled passing by with his Fengzi before, when they weren't particularly wary of the Yellow Ox that showed no energy fluctuations. Now, however, he felt a wave of fear wash over him, and his scalp tingled.
Although the world has changed drastically, not all creatures have become incredibly strong and terrifyingly aggressive towards humans. However, this is, after all, the Kunlun Mountain Range, and we must be careful around every single creature.
"We almost got tricked by this guy! Luckily there were two of us; he probably thought there were too many of us and didn't dare to make a move."
"It's definitely not that simple," Chu Feng murmured.
"Retreat first."
The two of them, not having discovered the Yellow Ox secretly inspecting the luggage of the Evolver, muttered in human language, "So poor, what a human being, wanting to come to Kunlun seeking opportunities, huh?"
Rumble!
What's going on?
The Bronze Mountain shook violently, and a nine-colored ray of light shot into the sky, transforming into a light curtain that enveloped most of the Bronze Mountain. Within the enveloped area, a misty atmosphere arose, and spiritual energy surged forth from the mountain like a tide.
"What's going on?" Chu Feng and Xiao Tianxin and turned to look at the barrier that had suddenly appeared behind them.
Are we trapped?
"It doesn't seem so."
At the same time, the many Evolver on Bronze Mountain were also shocked.
"The spiritual energy inside the barrier is so dense!" The Evolver' eyes turned red; they all wanted to rush in and wreak havoc.
"The barrier seems to be shrinking!"
roar!
The roar of ten thousand beasts.
"Good heavens." Xiao Tian rode on the back of the White Tiger with piercing eyes, leisurely surveying the surroundings.
They were within a barrier, surrounded by dense spiritual energy that was either aggressive, capable of either empowering or assimilating them.
The White Tiger piercing eyes beneath him was trembling, clearly uneasy.
It roared as a warning.
" Da Bai, don't be afraid, I've got your back." As an outsider, Xiao Tian saw through the trickery of this barrier.
"This is part of the Primordial Hongmeng Plan's Blue Star chapter, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The last five survivors will receive great fortune, but they will be trapped in Bronze Mountain forever, guarding the secrets beneath."
"Run in that direction, Da Bai."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the White Tiger with piercing eyes didn't hesitate at all and immediately rushed off, weaving through the misty spiritual energy.
Xiao Tian, on his back, used his Kamui Intangibility to transfer a lot of spiritual energy, hoping to create an altar for himself within the Kamui Dimension to condense spirit stones.
The barrier was shrinking continuously, and all the beasts roared. The Evolver on the Bronze Mountain outside the barrier felt heavy-hearted and uneasy about the unknown situation.
"Grand Uncle, this barrier is constantly shrinking, what's going on?"
Jiang Zhexian frowned, still shaken as she recalled how the barrier had appeared before her and nearly enveloped her.
"Many wild beasts are trapped inside; these are beasts that haven't mutated. Now, the spiritual energy within the barrier is becoming increasingly turbid, which is probably helping them to continue their pursuit."
At the same time, Chu Feng and Zhou Quan were also chasing after the shrinking barrier, wanting to see what was going on and understand the truth.
Those Evolver feared death stayed away, wandering in other areas of Bronze Mountain.
A day later, the barrier shrank to a size that allowed people to see the whole situation clearly; it was only the size of a large basketball court, and contained only a dozen or so mutated beasts.
However, amidst the dense spiritual energy, a Masked Man riding White Tiger with piercing eyes and a small Yellow Ox appeared.
These two groups stood out as quite unusual within the barrier, leaving the Evolver in awe.
" Fengzi, did you see that?! That Yellow Ox is in there too! I remember there were some wild animals before, where did they go?"
Chu Feng frowned. His focus was different from Zhou Quan's; he was observing Xiao Tian, who was riding White Tiger with piercing eyes.
Xiao Tian was the only person inside the barrier.
Why was he inside?
This was also something that puzzled Jiang Zhexian.
"Grand Uncle, what exactly is going on?"
Jiang Xinyan's eyes sharpened as she stared intently at Xiao Tian, muttering, "Could this masked person be a demon with a disguised form?"
"No way! Great-Uncle, aren't you exaggerating a bit? If he really is a demon in human form, how terrifying would that be? He could move mountains and overturn seas."
"I'm just guessing, but why is this person inside the barrier?" Jiang Xinyan wondered as well.
"It's Senior Dugu!" Some of the Evolver also saw Xiao Tian inside the barrier, and they all widened their eyes in shock.
"As expected of Senior Dugu, he always does inhuman things every time he appears!"
"That White Tiger with its menacing eyes looked dangerous and terrifying, yet Senior Dugu was able to control it so well—truly remarkable!"
"Keep your voice down. Didn't you see the Bodhi Group people there too? The old man next to Miss Jiang is no ordinary person. Although his hair is gray, his complexion is ruddy, and he has no signs of old age. His vital energy shines like the sun, illuminating all directions. This is clearly a powerful Evolver."
roar!
Suddenly, the remaining beasts began to charge frantically towards the outside of the barrier.
But with loud banging sounds, they were unable to escape the barrier and were blocked inside.
After a few minutes, they all calmed down, stayed in one spot, and stopped paying attention to the outside world.
The Yellow Ox puffed out white smoke from its nostrils and swayed its head, walking towards the barrier in the eyes of many Evolver.
"This Yellow Ox actually managed to walk out!" Many Evolver were dumbfounded.
Those strange beasts, whose size and aura were even more terrifying than the Yellow Ox, couldn't break through the barrier one by one, but the Yellow Ox did it with ease.
" Fengzi, I knew this Yellow Ox was no ordinary person. We need to be careful!"
"Indeed, not simple." Chu Feng glanced at him, but paid more attention to the mysterious Masked Man riding the White Tiger with piercing eyes, the one surnamed Dugu.
Soon, when the White Tiger carrying the Masked Man also rushed out of the barrier, many of the Evolver gasped in shock.
Jiang Xinyan of the Bodhi Group Jiang Family transformed into a bolt of lightning, arriving before Xiao Tian at supersonic speed.
Sensing the danger posed by the approaching White Tiger, it roared in a show of force.
Jiang Xinyan wore a smile, completely ignoring Hu Xiao, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Tian.
" Your Excellency Dugu, I am Jiang Xinyan from the Jiang Family of the Bodhi Group. I have heard that our Jiang Family generation has some issues with you, and I would like to express my sincere apologies."
"What? You want to return my 500 million?" Xiao Tian scoffed, the old man in front of him was extremely powerful.
"A mere five hundred million is nothing. What's inside this box is a jade treasure passed down for a thousand years, containing sealed spiritual energy. An ordinary person wearing it can be protected from one fatal blow. After a month, the jade treasure's spiritual energy will slowly recover, and it can continue to protect the wearer from death. This item is extremely valuable. If converted to today's currency, it would easily fetch tens of billions at auction. I, Jiang, am willing to use this item to express my apology."
"Hehehe, you old codger, you sure know how to scheme. Fine, I was also in the wrong before. I'll accept the gift, and let's just let this misunderstanding between us pass." One doesn't hit a smiling face, and with Jiang Xinyan being so friendly, Xiao Tian didn't want to make a fool of himself.
" Your Excellency Dugu, if I may be so bold as to ask, what just happened within this barrier?"
Xiao Tian, who just got the jade treasure, casually explained, "It's nothing, it's just the spiritual energy radiating from the heaven and earth fields that is creating the guardians."
