In front of Chao Li, there was a huge white mountain filled with some mysterious profound aura, and Chao Li felt some connection to it.
That was life mountain, and one had to climb that mountain if they wanted to reach Mortal Land and no one was an exception to it, even the strongest cultivators,
It might take a day to climb and another half day to down that mountain, and everyone would lose their power once they stepped on that mountain.
Chao Li seriously looked at the life mountain and slowly started climbing it with his bare hands. Unlike everyone said, he hadn't felt anything like he lost his power, but instead, he felt his power had risen and become more refined and powerful.
"Humm! I don't feel I lost my power. In fact, I feel I can control my power easily here!" He suspiciously muttered.
He was always worried about his loss of control over his power. Supreme Life Qi and Supreme Death Qi were difficult to control, and he would lose himself if his power rose further, and that's why he restricted his cultivation. In fact, even before, he had to control his Qi carefully, but when he stepped on Life Mountain, he felt all his shackles were gone and could use his power as he liked.
"Now I am confident that there is something here that can control my Life Qi and Death Qi." Chao Li solemnly muttered.
Since his power wasn't restricted, he climbed the mountain like a monkey with great speed. Except for Chao Li, no one could climb the Life Mountain with that speed, as everyone would become mortal once they stepped on the mountain.
In just one hour, he almost reached the top of the mountain, and at that moment, Zero arrived near the spot where Chao Li started climbing the mountain.
When he reached there, he lost his ability to trace Shadows, and also, his Shadow Jing dissipated into nothingness. Zero started to feel weak even before climbing the mountain.
He shivered with fright and shiveringly lifted his head to see the cursed mountain. He frighteningly looked at the mountain and suddenly froze when he saw a shadow of a person climbing the mountain like a monkey.
He rubbed his eyes to verify whether what he was seeing was real or some illusion, and after a few minutes, he confirmed that it was all real.
"What the hell wrong with that person? How is he climbing the mountain at such a speed? No one can climb this mountain with such speed. Something is wrong with that person." He skeptically looked into the distance.
"Is it Chao Li? Except for him, I don't think anyone came to this life mountain. But how is he climbing this mountain at such a speed? Isn't he lost his power?" He trembled when he thought of that scenario.
"He really hasn't lost his power!" He screeched with fright.
"But how is it even possible? According to legends, even the mightiest person lost his power when he stepped on this mountain, and no one is an exception to this rule. But why is this Chao Li different?" Zero asked himself.
After a long time, he thought, "This Chao Li has some great secret, and that is related to this Mortal Land secret." He quivered with mixed feelings.
At that moment, he failed to notice some green fog from some distance away from him and life mountain. That fog was in the shape of a human, and that was Dai Yi. That fog was some of his spirit, sent to follow Chao Li secretly to protect him in case of some unexpected situations.
"This Chao Li is really complicated. Even Mortal Land can't suppress him, and I think he has to get something important from the mortal land. But I can't covet those things. Those are way beyond my capabilities. If I try to meddle in that whirlpool, I will be dead without knowing to me. I am now facing some tribulations, so I can't meddle with this Chao Li excessively." Dai Yi thought inside.
After that, he seriously looked at Zero and thought, "This youth has great ambitions, but he is messing with something he shouldn't. I can see his fate is sealing and even impacting some other's fate through his stupid actions."
"Whatever, I won't meddle with him." He carefreely thought inside.
While at that moment, Chao Li climbed to the top of the mountain, and then he took a huge breath and slowly looked below.
Down there, he saw a large open green land and some thin grey line far beyond the edge of that land. That grey line was Samsara River, and on the other side was another part of Mortal Land. Chao Li couldn't see that other part.
He took another great breath and started climbing down the mountain at even great speed.
While at that time, Zero took a few steps backward as he didn't want to go to Mortal Land or be inflicted with that place suppression.
"This Chao Li will eventually come back, and I will deal with him at that time and will even know his secrets and get all his treasures."
"And then, is I have to care about that fool Jin Xiang? I can even exceed Black Eye and Grey Eye, so what is that Jin Xiang amount to then?" He disdainfully thought.
"Chao Li, I will wait for you." He devilishly mumbled as he looked at the Life Mountain.
While at that time, somewhere in Mortal Land, a person in Grey Clothes looked at Life Mountain direction, in particular in Chao Li's direction.
"So he is finally coming! My purpose in this life is going to be finished. But before that, I have to give him a test." He solemnly muttered as he pulled the line in his hand.
In his hand, there was a fishing line, and when he pulled that line, two fish got hooked to that line's end.
"Sun and Moon Fish!" He muttered when he looked at Golden and Silver Colored fish to his fishing line.
"So, heaven has already decided upon his test. Sigh, I am about to think of another test. Anyway, I will go with this test."
