Su Huai took a deep breath and stepped onto the ancient stone steps that led up the mountain.
It's not quite accurate to call them stone steps, as they were embedded in the mountain itself, more precisely, they were natural mountain paths formed by long-term trampling and partial artificial carving.
The biggest feature of these mountain paths was their irregularity and the great span!
The span was so great that Su Huai felt a bit tired after just a few steps.
So, the people at the foot of the mountain saw Su Huai suddenly sit down after climbing less than ten steps, then look up into the distance with a melancholic and profound expression.
Qiu Sheng shouted from below, "Su Huai, why did you stop!?"
Su Huai looked down at them and sighed lightly.
"I want to take one last look at the sunset visible from the Zhen Guo Border."
"At the sunset?"
Qiu Sheng looked up, the sun just past noon was hot and dazzling.
Seeing this, Su Huai felt a bit embarrassed and continued to sit there pretending to be profound.
He underestimated the spirituality of Ling Yu Mountain, or perhaps overestimated his own nobility.
Anyway, as soon as he set foot on Ling Yu Mountain, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
And as the altitude increased, this invisible pressure also kept increasing.
By the tenth step, his calf was already softening.
Such opportunities granted by heaven and earth usually have higher standards for the beings who obtain them, and even the Qiu Yu Chan clan might just be a companion clan nurtured by Ling Yu Mountain to guard the opportunity.
It's normal for a cunning person like Su Huai to be targeted.
But he still felt a bit angry.
A Man has recognized me, why should you, a broken mountain, stop me!
Do you know what happened to the last thing that stopped me!?
You don't have to force me...
Well, even if you do, there's nothing I can do. Su Huai can make a big hole in the Kou Xin Gate of the Yan Yue Xian Zong, but he can't punch through this Ling Yu Mountain.
He could only sit on the stone steps, silently thinking of ways to continue climbing.
Use spiritual power to counteract the pressure?
He couldn't do it.
Although Ling Yu Mountain is located at the junction of two regions, it is still subject to the special rules of the Giant Wood Plain, and the authority and spiritual power here are in a state of poor contact, sometimes present, sometimes absent.
Su Huai had to raise his right hand and look at the two snake rings on his fingers.
"Yin, Hei Ye, can you move here?"
Both snake rings raised their heads and felt it.
[Can move]
[I also don't feel too much pressure for the time being]
???
What the hell, Hei Ye is fine, but why can Yin move too!?
Is this silver snake purer than me!?
I spit!
I've done everything it has done, right!
Even if it wasn't the mastermind of some things, it was an accomplice!
Is it possible that Ling Yu Mountain read the secrets of my native world? But I've always been browsing without a trace!
Could it discover the mysterious websites in my memo and the thousands of G of learning materials in the hidden folder?
If that's the case, Su Huai would definitely not accept it.
What he watched were educational videos! Just learning about physiology!
Learning... a scholar's thing... can it be wrong!?
Su Huai felt that he was targeted by this world and could only look down at the red halo on his wrist.
This is the highest level of recognition!
It's like buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot. You go to redeem it, and you're stopped at the door.
The person who stops you is an official, and the official thinks you're not a good person, even thinks your lottery ticket is forged, so he won't let you redeem it.
What kind of outrageous suffering is this!
Su Huai was angry, shaking... shaking halfway, the red halo on his wrist suddenly started to rotate on its own.
At the same time, Su Huai felt his body slowly becoming lighter.
After a little while, he suddenly floated up.
Like a big balloon, he floated over one step after another, towards the mysterious area at the top of Ling Yu Mountain, which was full of red dwarf trees.
The friends watching at the foot of the mountain were all stunned!
Ling Yu Mountain is a very magical mountain. All beings in this world are its children. Of course, even among biological children, there are close and distant relationships.
It may open shortcuts for those with pure hearts, but it will never let them ascend to heaven in one step.
It may increase obstacles for those with dark hearts, but it will never block the way to climb the mountain completely.
Su Huai's current treatment...
Since Ling Yu Mountain has been open for countless years, there have been countless climbers, some walking leisurely, some climbing hard, but there has never been such a case, flying up directly!
Meow, Ling Yu Mountain is a no-fly zone!
Su Huai was also beating the drum in his heart.
Suddenly something like this happened, who knows if it's good or bad.
It's like getting lost in a place you're not familiar with, and suddenly a stranger comes and runs without saying a word. Normal people will instinctively break free and refuse, right?
He was a bit scared that Ling Yu Mountain would give him a trial of justice.
Fortunately, what he worried about did not happen. The mysterious force brought him to the top of the mountain, passed through a few small groves, and slowly descended, dissipating quietly.
"Gan Ling Lake?"
Yes, Su Huai saw an irregularly shaped huge lake in front of him.
To the east of the lake is a smaller lake, where the rich spiritual spring flows.
The smoke curled above the spring, and a woman sat back to the spring water, seemingly guarding the person in the spring.
To the west of the lake stood a strange giant stone, covered with crooked and strange inscriptions. Four living beings sat on the ground below the stone, practicing with their eyes closed.
Two humanoid beings, a fat pig demon, and a red three-legged toad.
The pig demon was at the beginning of the realm, and it seemed to have just broken through not long ago, and the breath was still a bit weak. The other three were similar to Su Huai, at the peak of the Zhen Guo Border, but the accumulation might be deeper.
Su Huai licked the corner of his mouth and looked at the largest Gan Ling Lake in the middle. A four-armed creature with sharp horns on his head and knotted muscles was sitting by the lake, holding a fishing rod, seemingly fishing.
In addition to not knowing how many people were soaking in the small pond on the east side of Gan Ling Lake, there were a total of seven monks on the top of Ling Yu Mountain, including Su Huai.
And when Su Huai was looking at them, the fisherman and the woman by the small pond on the east side also looked at Su Huai.
They all nodded at Su Huai, which was a greeting.
Well, in the cultivation world, especially among high-level monks, as long as there is no deliberate provocation, there will basically be no situation like "what are you looking at" or "what are you looking at me for."
The woman saw Su Huai standing there a bit confused, suddenly turned her wrist, and threw a somewhat yellow scroll to Su Huai.
Su Huai reached out and caught it, just about to say something, but saw the woman close her eyes again and entered the state of cultivation.
So he had to shrug, opened the scroll.
"Ling Yu Mountain Cultivation Manual..."
Tut, a tourist brochure flavor.
"Step one, sit under the Enlightenment Stone, perceive the authority, and explore the law."
"Step two, absorb the spirit in the spirit pool to prepare for the breakthrough."
"Step three, after touching the bottleneck, return to the Enlightenment Stone and prepare for the breakthrough."
"Note: There are a large number of special creatures in Gan Ling Lake. They can be obtained by fishing, but be sure to remember not to catch them in the water. Gan Ling Lake is bottomless, and the bottom seems to be connected to another space. There have been powerful strange beasts with the strength of the peak of the realm."
After reading the scroll, Su Huai looked at the woman again, then went to the big stone as the scroll indicated, raised his head and looked at the inscriptions on the stone.
