Chapter 646: The First Mountain

He wanted to come out to give him a good thrashing!

But doing so would deplete a lot of his spiritual energy.

This rascal was too much. How could he discover the truth after just 300 years? Impossible!

He could not have discovered it… after 3000 years, 30 000 years, or even 3 000 000 years!

He was lying!

What illusory world was this?

This was the illusory world formed by the heavenly tribulation for becoming a Powerful Being!

It should be flawless and without any loophole. Once you entered, you would think that everything inside was real! How could he spend only 300 years inside and realized that something was wrong? He was clearly lying.

The old Daoist occupying the second mountain was not lying. He was the most powerful being in the ancient times.

Long ago, he was already at the peak of his Ancestral Realm.

However, during that tribulation, he was brought into a real-looking illusory world.

In this illusion, he actually became a Powerful Being and he broke through countless Dao levels. He killed his way through it and many years passed by, allowing him to experience many different things.

Only after 1 206 800 years did he discover that he had not actually succeeded in his heavenly tribulation!

He then struggled for many years and worked for a bit before he finally survived this tribulation.

Hence, this old Daoist liked cultivators who were steady and consistent, but he detested those cultivators who were strong but were braggarts.

He did not know what kind of good luck allowed him to cultivate until this level.

Chu Yu leered at him and realized that since no one believed him, he might as well not talk about it.

Since he did not want to fight, he decided to take a look at the first mountain.

“Wait a moment!” The old Daoist from the second mountain finally said as he stopped Chu Yu.

Chu Yu stopped and said slightly excitedly, “What? Are you willing to fight me now?”

“No, no fighting. What’s the point? To you, life and death are just parts of this tribulation. If I really fight with you, my powers will be depleted and one day, if you fail your tribulation, I can’t settle my score with you. If you succeed in your tribulation, there’s no benefit for me. This is not in my favor!”

The old Daoist from the second mountain said a whole bunch of stuff. He definitely did not want to fight with Chu Yu and would rather admit defeat.

“So why did you stop me?” Chu Yu asked in confusion.

“I want to ask. Which powerful being from the ancient times are you?” The old Daoist from the mountain said. “No other reason, I’m just curious.”

“I’m not from the ancient times. Nor am I from the pre-modern times. I’m from the modern era,” said Chu Yu.

In the second mountain, in a secret room, a wizened old man sat there in anger as he exhaled intensely.

He could not help but exclaim, “Is there an end to your boasts? Why are they becoming more and more ludicrous? Do you think I’m really ignorant? In this world… only the beings of the ancient times have the Great Dao inside their bodies, and only these beings have a chance of entering this level. While those from the later generations may have them too, they are normally those who have been reborn. For someone like you, you should have been aware of what you did in your past life. Saying this is really too boastful!”

Chu Yu did not why the old man cared so much about him but there was nothing he could do as others disbelieved him. Hence, he could only say, “Many of the Primitive Sovereigns of the twelve zodiacs are my friends. As to who I am, go and guess.”

He said this line impatiently.

With that, he walked toward the first mountain.

In the second mountain, the wizened old man was stunned.

A look of shock crossed his face and he mumbled, “Many of the Primitive Sovereigns of the twelve zodiacs are his friends? Then… aren’t you a Powerful Being of the ancient times? Who… who exactly are you?”

The change in his face was vast and his entire body felt unwell.

He shut his mouth immediately.

He thought, “My mouth is really my doom. If not, someone would have shown me the way a long time ago and I would not have wasted so many years, right?”

“I need to learn to shut my mouth!”

With that, the old Daoist from the second mountain shut his mouth and his entire body froze up.

“This old man is stubborn indeed. He’s so powerful but he still behaves like a child, indeed…”

As Chu Yu thought about this, he advanced toward the first mountain.

This mountain was deathly silent.

As he walked there, he could not hear anything.

From outside, the entire mountain appeared shrouded by a Daoist aura. He could simply not penetrate it.

Underneath the mountain, Chu Yu finally sensed that this mountain emitted a tragic air.

While it was verdant and the flowers were in full bloom, the spiritual energy around could almost be cut with a knife.

In fact, with his senses, he knew that this was an aura of death.

While this aura of death was not strong, he was sure that it existed.

What was going on?

As long as he went through this mountain, he would be in front of the Immortal Door.

Chu Yu thought, “I should walk past this mountain. Regardless whether the owner is angry or dead, my objective here is to understand the terrain.”

He had to bring his Limitless Sect one day or another.

After he tried for a bit, Chu Yu decided to forgo this notion of his.

It was impossible to bypass it!

The magical formations on this mountain were incredibly high-leveled!

It was not a killing magical formation or a trap, but it was simply a befuddling magical formation!

Once he entered, he would lose any sense of direction and he could not differentiate between north, south, east, and west.

Even if a Powerful Being entered, he would fall for the same trap.

What a rude person! To go through here, he had to meet the man in the mountain.

Chu Yu walked a bit into the magical formation and after a while, he exited.

Then, he stated his name, “I, Chu Yu, requests to see you, my friend!”

He sent his thought straight into the mountain.

However, there was no reply. It seemed to be this way for a long time.

At this moment, a huge boom rang out from the forest in front. It seemed like something was running out.

Then, a giant rooster, which was as big as a dragon, appeared in front of Chu Yu.

It looked down at Chu Yu and in its eyes, a look of impatience could be seen.

“Are you the one who called?”

The rooster looked at Chu Yu.

“Did I f*cking call you?”

“Why the f*ck is there a rooster?”

Its level… was definitely Ancestral Realm.

How could an Ancestral Realm being be so impolite?

Chu Yu looked at it and said, “I’m here to see your master.”

“He doesn’t want to see you,” said the rooster impatiently. It flapped its wings impatiently twice.

“…” Chu Yu was confused.

“Who are you?” He asked.

“I look after his front door,” said the rooster. Then, it looked at Chu Yu arrogantly and said, “Get back quickly. For you to reach this place, it meant that you’re capable of entering the Immortal Door. Queue up behind…”

“I’m here not because I want to enter the Immortal Door but because I want to see the person inside,” said Chu Yu sincerely.

The rooster said angrily, “What did I say just now? My master doesn’t want to see guests…”

Boom!

Chu Yu moved instantly.

Instantly, he wrapped his hand around the rooster’s neck. Then, his hand expanded in size as it seized the rooster’s throat.

The rooster clucked and swallowed its words as it looked at Chu Yu in fear.

It was terribly afraid.

If the rest were to see this, they would be afraid too.

He was too fast!

Even though the rooster was just a door guard, he was backed by a powerful and terrifying existence no matter what his cultivation level was. Most people would be too scared to even breath.

Before a Prime Minister, there were eight levels of officials. If one wanted to beat a dog, one had to look at who its master was. From ancient times until now, no one dared to provoke this rooster after the owner of the first mountain occupied the mountain.

After a long while, this rooster became arrogant and looked down on others.

Today, it finally met someone fearless!

It flapped its wings vigorously and it was in a very sorry state.

Chu Yu gripped its throat tightly, preventing it from making any noise or even sending a thought out!

From Chu Yu’s eyes, the rooster could see his killing intent. It was slightly scared.

“In my hometown, there’s a famous dish called chicken stewed with mushrooms,” said Chu Yu as he gritted his teeth, “You pick the best chicken, such as you, kill it, cut it into pieces, wash it clean and then, you mix it with mushrooms, noodles, and boil it in spring water from the mountains for two hours…”

Drip!

Saliva fell out of the rooster’s mouth.

Chu Yu’s hand slackened around the rooster’s neck. The rooster said, “It must be tasty, right?”

“…” Chu Yu’s face was black.

He felt that the rooster’s brain was addled!

“We phoenixes love all sorts of delicacies. You have to teach me!”

“What the f*ck?”

“What?”

“Phoenixes?”

“Are you a phoenix?”

“Where’s your dignity?”

Chu Yu stared at the rooster with his eyes open and felt that he had underestimated it.

It was evidently a rooster but it claimed to be a phoenix.

For a rooster that would actually salivate upon hearing its own kind being stewed… nothing could beat that!

“Bring me to your master!” Chu Yu said coldly, “If not, I’ll stew you!”

“You really want to see my master?” The rooster looked at Chu Yu in shock but weirdly.

“Cut the crap, lead the way,” said Chu Yu.

The rooster thought and said, “Never mind, master said that one day, someone like you would appear. I shall bring you to see him.”

With that, the rooster led Chu Yu.

Chu Yu followed behind him and thought, “Someone like me?”

This entire mountain was filled with befuddling magic formations but to the rooster, they were no problem at all. It navigated its way through them easily and walked into a secret passageway.

After a while, it brought Chu Yu to the land inside the mountain.

There was a cave.

Near the entrance of the cave, there were two couplets. They were engraved there by someone who used some powerful Dao technique. Despite the ages, they would not disappear.

The first one wrote, “Is the point of becoming an immortal eternal life?”

The second one wrote, “In cultivation, how will we know if we overcome an obstacle?”

These couplets seemed to be what the master of the cave inferred.

Chu Yu looked at them and recited them softly, “Is the point of becoming an immortal… eternal life? In cultivation, how will we… know if we overcome an obstacle?”

He sighed.

True!

The higher one’s cultivation level, the closer one would be to the truth, but one would also be filled with more doubts.

The same applied.

For everything.
