Streams of Spiritual Beasts . . .
If there were one or two hyper-nine spiritual beasts, it wasn't a desperate situation yet. For example, Xuan Bing could easily handle such a situation as easily as she tortured Han Bingxue!
However, even though she was able to torture Han Bingxue, it wouldn't be easy if she needed to fight against Xiao Monarch, Jun Yinglian, and Han Bingxue at the same time. At least, it wouldn't be a landslide. It was the same when she fought the hyper-nine beasts. She could easily kill a single hyper-beast alone easily, but if she encountered a group…
Xuan Bing had mentioned it before that she had met a group of hyper-nine beasts when she searched deep in the third layer. She quit the search because of it. Wu Fa was also forced to quit when he was in the third layer.
According to Xuan Bing, she and Wu Fa both didn't enter the fourth layer.
That was enough to prove how horrible the third layer was!
It was exactly the utmost limit of power in Qing-Yun Realm!
"Oh, right. How many layers does the Mountain of All Medicines have in total according to the knowledge of your own clans?" Cha Eun Xiao was moving his hands fast inside the fog and calmly asked.
"The Mountain of All Medicines is what you outsiders call it. We native people call it Heaven Treasure Mountain." Cha Shangxin looked steady. He didn't seem impatient at all. "The reason why we call it Heaven Treasure Mountain is… according to what our ancestors imparted, when this mountain came from the sky, there was a stone in the first layer that said 'first layer of heaven'.
"The second layer had a stone with 'second layer of heaven' on it. Nobody has ever seen a stone in the third layer because nobody explored it. I am not sure if there is a stone like that in the third layer. However, I believe there is…
"Every layer of the mountain is fully planted with all kinds of medicines. Every single one is a treasure. That is why we call it Heaven Treasure Mountain. However… we don't know how many layers are there in total. Nobody has ever fully explored the mountain after all. It is something no human being has ever achieved in the world."
Cha Shangxin sighed and continued, "Brother Cha, I believed you have heard about this… People in Oracle District are always weaker than people in other districts. The beasts in this mountain are so powerful. As we go up, the beasts will be more powerful. We don't want to recklessly go somewhere we don't know enough since we might set free some high-level spiritual beasts, especially those beyond level four… We truly don't know whether people in Qing-Yun Realm are enough to feed the beasts in here…"
Cha Eun Xiao's face twisted.
[Enough to feed the beasts?]
[That is… creepy. It makes me feel cold on the back.]
However, it was true and honest. The beasts in the third layer were powerful enough to stop Xuan Bing and Wu Fa from going up. The beasts in the upper layers should be more horrible!
Suddenly, Cha Eun Xiao moved one of his hand to grab Erhuo out from the Boundless Space and put it into his clothes on the chest like it was a doll.
"You are awake now, aren't you? Time to work." Since he would have to face all those powerful and unknown beasts, he could certainly make use of this 'primal spirit in chaos'!
According to what it had done in the past, it must be fairly useful in such a situation.
How could Cha Eun Xiao not send out his most powerful weapon in this life and death situation?
He did it so quickly. Even Cha Shangxin, who was standing right in front of him, couldn't see what he just took out from his hand. He only saw a mass of soft and furry thing being dragged out and put into his clothes. He didn't know what it was at all…
The only thing he could be sure of was that Cha Eun Xiao calmed down again after a short moment of anxiety, like he had just acquired something to make sure everything was right!
[What is going on?]
Suddenly, a dense mass of fog, filled with rolling spiritual qi, rushed out from Cha Eun Xiao's arms, enveloping everyone in its hazy embrace. The fog was so thick that they couldn't even see their own fingers.
"The third layer is opened!" Cha Shangxin shouted with excitement.
It had been a long time since anyone had opened the third layer, but Li Chongshan and Cha Shangxin still remembered what it was like when it happened.
Cha Eun Xiao withdrew his hand, concealing a black ring in his palm. Nobody noticed it.
Opening the entrance was surprisingly simple. Behind the fog, there was a small hole, and he just had to reach in, find a ring, and twist it. That was all it took to open the third layer.
However, it had taken him a bit of time to locate the ring. He simply couldn't find it at first. Growing anxious, he began to manipulate the East-rising Purple qi with both his hands, attempting to sense its location. To his surprise, the ring seemed to come to him, and he grabbed it effortlessly.
He twisted the ring, and the entrance opened.
In truth, Cha Eun Xiao had lied when he said he could open it. He had only wanted to explore the secret inside, and it appeared he had won a lottery.
[Could there be a connection between this Heaven Treasure Mountain and my East-rising Purple Qi?]
Slowly, a door began to materialize within the dense fog. Han Bingxue didn't hesitate and stepped through it. Cha Eun Xiao followed closely behind.
The ten people from Cha Clan witnessed the door opening and quickly entered the third layer. The last person among them appeared to linger at the entrance longer than necessary, provoking the Li Clan members, who spewed angry words in response.
However, their actions were futile. In the third layer, the fog was so impenetrable that even if someone stood right in front of you, their face would remain obscured.
As the door to the third layer opened, the sound of roaring beasts reached their ears, like thunderclaps.
Han Bingxue's expression shifted, and he swiftly drew his sword, gripping it tightly. He was often perceived as a bit muddle-headed in the presence of Cha Eun Xiao and Xuan Bing, but in reality, he was one of the most formidable figures in Qing-Yun Realm. He possessed keen senses and extensive experience. The rhythmic roars they heard were not from ordinary spiritual beasts. If it had been just one or a few of them, he wouldn't have been concerned. However, the terrifying part was that the roars suggested not one or two, but many. It seemed like a multitude of these creatures were ahead of them, and the thought of it filled him with apprehension.
