Chapter 122 - 118: Never-Losing Tu Wa Zi_l
A gigantic portal rose between the mountains, with a waterfall streaming down from it. Its grandeur was breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
In front of the portal, shadowy figures surged forth like a tidal wave, their roars echoing through the sky.
The densely packed figures came from various mysterious and formidable races, not just humans. They were all rushing towards the enormous portal with great momentum.
A cursory glance revealed flying divine monkeys, airborne stones, flapping demon butterflies, towering giants of over ten meters, and even rooted tree spirits in the void, and more.
All of their runes shimmered, filled with a terrific and vast aura. They were the elites of their respective races. Each was remarkable, carrying a terrifying power within, enough to sweep aside any opponent.
Lin Zhuang and his companions trailed at the back, their faces filled with surprise. They had never seen so many races before, all stunned and speechless.
“If we could take back that big fat goose and stew it with some chili and other seasonings, it would definitely taste better than that Fei Yi. So much meat, enough for the entire village.”
Tu Wa Zi’s gaze was drawn to a massive figure, overwhelming him with an uncontrollable urge to salivate.
“Brother, don’t be reckless with your words, that’s not a fat goose. It’s an eminent member of the Golden Winged Roc clan with pure blood lineage, which is rare for the species. Despite its young age, it has mastered the clan’s Treasured Technique, capable of swallowing thousands of people in one gulp. It’s horrifying.
Remember to control your words, or if it hears you, it’ll undoubtedly bring calamity to your sect.”
An unkempt elderly man passed by, hurriedly cautioning Tu Wa Zi.
“Just a tiny Golden Winged Roc, what’s the big fuss?”
Under Lin Chen, the Departure Fire Divine Bull disdainfully sneered, looking completely unfazed.
After becoming of pure blood, this Old Barbarian Bull had become totally arrogant with no restricts, none of the Ancient Species were worthy of his attention anymore.
The elderly man was about to retort, but upon seeing the Departure Fire Divine Bull, he was stunned and terrified.
“It’s… the Departure Fire Divine Bull?!”
The elderly man opened his mouth in disbelief, recognizing the identity of the Old Barbarian Bull.
Only the formidable sects could use ancient species as mounts, which was impossible for less powerful sects. Based on their attire and demeanor, these people seemed more like they had come from a backwater area rather than being the descendants of a great clan.
The elderly stopped talking. Regardless, being able to use the Departure Fire Divine Bull as a mount, they could not be simple characters. Perhaps the words of stewing the Golden Winged Roc were not whimsical but spoken with extreme confidence in their abilities.
Moreover, he felt that the condition of the Departure Fire Divine Bull seemed off. The aura it emanated was too overwhelming, like a terrifying wave, making him uneasy.
“Old man, what is happening in front? Why are all these creatures rushing towards the Stone Gate like they have gone mad?”
Lin Zhuang asked. Although he knew that significant opportunities might be hiding beyond that portal, knowing only this was not enough – he needed more information.
“You don’t know why you came here?”
The elderly showed surprise but proceeded to explain everything in clear detail.
He felt that these few people might have run out from somewhere in a secluded clan. If he could establish a good relationship with them, it might be useful in the future.
“Through that gate lies a place known as the Hundred Break Mountain. It’s a world unto itself that only opens for today. The opportunity is rare, and it harbors unimaginable vast chances, even ancient relics. If one can inherit a legacy from there, they are sure to reach great heights, with unlimited success in their future.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a person who, after rising from Hundred Break Mountain, eventually achieved the position of a Human Emperor. Moreover, the names of some were imbued with the aura of deities. Their stories stood unchallenged throughout the ages and shook the vast ancient history of this land.”
The elder said slowly, his yellowed eyes gleaming. Sighing in admiration for those fantastic figures who were not only powerful but also carried great fortune.
At his age, he had yet to achieve even a fraction of their success, thus felt like he had wasted his life. This might be his last chance. He knew that this mountain range had age and cultivation restrictions leaning towards the younger generations. He was able to enter because he had unintentionally obtained a Secret Treasure during his last visit, else he would have been expelled and punished like the others.
“Young man, I have a request. Can we travel together? I’ve been in there once and know places that may hold valuable opportunities. However, my abilities were limited back then, so I did not attempt to seize them.”
The scruffy old man, turned to Lin Zhuang and his companions, his face hopeful.
“Of course, we can. There is strength in numbers. However, only the capable will acquire those treasures.”
After a brief thought, Lin Zhuang nodded in agreement. He got the undertone of the old man’s words but thought they might need someone experienced to lead the way.
Tu Wa and the others didn’t mind at all. They believed that unclaimed opportunities were up for grabs, and if it’s claimed, they would just snatch it away.
