Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1530: Chapter 1526: Testing the Waters

Zheng Zhenxing pointed to the majestic mountain range beside the great river: "There should be some good things there, right?"

Men Xianda nodded: "Look at the imposing sight, it definitely won’t be like it was before. Senior Song, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng Er, should we go over and have a look?"

Cheng Qian chuckled: "We’ll follow Miss Song’s lead in everything."

Cheng Kun nodded with a smile: "Listen to Miss Song."

Everyone looked at Song Chaoge.

Song Chaoge smiled and said: "My task was to lead you into the grassland and find that Cave Mansion, so the task is considered complete now."

"Miss Song, don’t you want to take a look?" Cheng Qian hurriedly asked: "Aren’t you curious about what’s ahead? Who knows, there might be even bigger gains."

The four of Huang Zhengyang busily made wedding clothes for others in the end.

Song Chaoge took all the advantage, and that Spirit Tree was invaluable.

Taking advantage is addictive, the more you take, the more you want, and you won’t easily let go.

Song Chaoge said: "With that Spirit Tree, it’s already enough. Greed will be punished."

"Miss Song must be talking about us?" Cheng Qian laughed: "Then let’s leave it be."

Cheng Kun laughed: "Brother, Miss Song probably didn’t mean that, you’re overthinking it."

"Did I really overthink, Miss Song?" Cheng Qian laughed, looking at Song Chaoge.

Song Chaoge’s smile faded slightly, lightly smiling: "Then it’s up to Mr. Song’s own thoughts. Excuse me, farewell."

With that, she turned and left, gracefully stepping through the emerging Bronze Gate in the void.

Li Hongzhao’s figure flickered inside the Bronze Gate and disappeared.

The Bronze Gate then slowly closed, and a booming sound echoed in their minds.

But in the real world, there was no sound.

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

They didn’t expect that Song Chaoge would turn hostile so abruptly, without any warning, it was extremely sudden.

Luo Yun looked at Cheng Qian and Cheng Kun: "Two seniors, did we offend Senior Song?"

"I don’t think so?" Men Xianda laughed: "We didn’t say much either, why did she suddenly leave then?"

Zheng Zhenxing coldly said: "She didn’t want to take any more risks, she’s already satisfied, doesn’t want to keep us company."

"But there’s no need to turn hostile, right?" Men Xianda said.

"To Senior Song, perhaps this isn’t considered turning hostile at all." Luo Yun said.

He secretly glanced at Cheng Qian and Cheng Kun.

If anyone offended Song Chaoge, it was these two.

Song Chaoge, being extremely perceptive, obviously sensed the slight peculiarity in their words.

Clearly, Song Chaoge’s change in expression was directed at Cheng Qian and Cheng Kun.

Worthy of a person of the Holy Vein, daring to put on a face for Spirit Venerables without hesitation.

He knew Zheng Zhenxing and Men Xianda could see this too.

But the three of them pretended not to see it, stubbornly claiming they offended Song Chaoge, as if giving the two Spirit Venerables a cover.

"Forget it!" Cheng Qian took a breath, his expression darkened then relaxed, smiling stiffly: "This is Miss Song’s way of reminding us."

Cheng Kun said: "Brother?"

"That mountain is not to be ventured into." Cheng Qian said.

"Elder Cheng, we’re not going over there?" Zheng Zhenxing hurriedly asked.

"Mm, not going." Cheng Qian said.

Zheng Zhenxing helplessly looked at Men Xianda, then looked at Luo Yun.

Luo Yun quickly said: "Since the two seniors are not going, naturally we cannot go either."

"Brother Luo..." Zheng Zhenxing quickly said.

Luo Yun waved his hand and said: "Old Zheng, know when to stop!"

Zheng Zhenxing looked into the distance at the mountain range stretching across the sky, like a giant dragon winding its way, and sighed: "I’m really not reconciled."

Luo Yun said irritably: "Old Zheng, wake up, neither Senior Song nor the two Cheng seniors want to go, do you think you’re the only smart one?!"

Zheng Zhenxing looked at Cheng Qian and Cheng Kun.

Cheng Kun smiled: "Little Luo is indeed clever."

Men Xianda said: "Old Zheng, let’s leave it at that, it’s not like we have no gains."

"What gains?!" Zheng Zhenxing sneered.

Men Xianda said: "At least we’ve gained much experience, furthermore, we’ve made comrades of Brother Huang and Brother Luo, and experienced the elegance of Senior Cheng and Elder Cheng Er, it’s not a wasted trip!"

"Haha..." Cheng Qian laughed: "Little Meng, your tongue is as smooth as Little Luo’s."

Men Xianda smiled: "Senior complimented me too much, I’m expressing my genuine feelings, not just saying pleasant things."

"Alright, let’s retreat for now." Cheng Qian said with a smile.

He didn’t care about those below Spirit Venerable, indifferent to whether the words were pleasing or not.

They retreated, then vanished.

Zheng Zhenxing looked at the other two, sighed: "Really leaving?"

"Let’s go!" Luo Yun said.

He pulled Zheng Zhenxing and Men Xianda along, retreated a few steps, and left the Grotto Heaven.

Li Hongzhao appeared not far away, shaking his head.

All of them were clever people, with keen intuition, so they managed to hold on until now.

By willingly giving up, they instead had another opportunity to enter the Grotto Heaven.

...

Chu Zhiyuan stood beneath the towering peak, looking up.

The oppressive feeling, like the sky covering the sun, rushed over him, as if this giant peak could fall and crush him at any moment.

And these gigantic peaks lined up one after another, like a spine, extending towards the distant horizon without end in sight.

The Super Sensing Illumination was twisted by an invisible force, allowing view only within a mile, the mountain range did not end.

The Elephant Beast squatted on his left shoulder, its long tail flicked slowly, with eyes narrowed, staring straight at this peak.

Chu Zhiyuan spoke in its mind: "Didn’t sense any danger?"

The Elephant Beast snorted: "You really didn’t sense any danger?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "It seems calm and quiet, surely there can’t be dragons here, right?"

Then said: "There’s no Dragon Evil here."

All along this way, with the Flood Dragon Pearl, they’ve been smooth sailing.

They didn’t encounter any obstacles.

If it weren’t for Super Sense, seeing the Strange Beasts hidden in the dark, he would think they had all disappeared, like the Divine Race.

They were evidently stronger, yet stayed far away from him.

He asked the Elephant Beast, the Elephant Beast said it was because of the Flood Dragon Pearl.

The Flood Dragon Pearl contained thunder, exactly the power that the many Strange Beasts feared, none wanted to touch it.

Chu Zhiyuan was intrigued upon hearing this.

If he could refine this thunder for his own use, wouldn’t he be able to restrain all the Strange Beasts?

But his instinct for danger stopped him from this impulse, not trying rashly.

First, find out where the Taiqing Primordial Sect is, and prepare sufficiently before attempting, it’s not too late.

"No Dragon Evil, but there is something else." The Elephant Beast said: "Have you seen enough?"

"No." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let’s keep looking, or, see further inside?"

"You absolutely must not step into Dragon Mountain!" The Elephant Beast’s voice was sharp, no longer clear.

"You look scared."

"If you’re not afraid of death, you go in by yourself, I’m definitely not going in!"

"Then what threat lies inside, can you say now?"

"I don’t know, it’s just very dangerous, if we don’t leave, we’ll die for sure!"

"You didn’t see the danger, so you scared yourself into running away?"

"By the time you see it, you won’t be able to run away!"

"What if it’s your illusion?"

"And what if it isn’t?"

"...Alright, since that’s the case, we’ll part ways here, you can return on your own."

"You’re not leaving?"

"I’ll wait a bit longer, if it doesn’t work out, leaving won’t be too late." Chu Zhiyuan said: "I first need to explore, can we break away, teleport out, ... aren’t you curious at all about what’s inside Dragon Mountain, or what it’s like?"

"...Then try teleporting, if it’s possible, let’s talk."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, a Flying Knife shot out from his left sleeve, headed for a huge rock at the foot of the mountain.

The rock was irregularly shaped, surrounded by wild grass.

Just as the Flying Knife approached the rock, it suddenly halted, immobile.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression changed slightly.

A wisp of his Heart and Spirit was within the Flying Knife, through it, he sensed the aura of the mountain peak.

He felt the vast and majestic aura surging above the mountain, washing over the power on the Flying Knife.

He felt as if himself was trapped in a mire, unable to struggle free.
