Chapter 86: Mysterious Mountain

I was shocked because I realized that it was very difficult for me to communicate with the fire element between heaven and earth, and I could not gather the surrounding fire element, let alone the fire element in the five elements.

I definitely wouldn’t be so naive as to think that because it’s snowing here, there’s no way to use the dragon fire technique. If there is a way, then there’s only one possibility鈥攖hat is, the five elements are forbidden here.

The art of summoning thunder is technically a type of five element magic, but I tried it out and found that it didn’t work here either.

So my guess was confirmed, this is a place where the five elements are forbidden.

In the history of Taoism, there was once a mysterious saying that some powerful people had set up an absolute “forbidden law” formation. It sounds very magical, and now Taoists of the new school, that is, Taoists who have received the ancient education of Taoism but have also received the impact of science, have put forward new theories about this “forbidden law” formation!

For example, absolute vacuum! In fact, some Taoist techniques and theories can be explained using physics and chemistry. The various elements floating in the universe are not as mysterious as they seem. Since chemistry and physics can discover atoms and molecules, with the rapid development of technology, it is not impossible to discover other things.

Only absolute vacuum can truly be a ‘forbidden law’!

However, regarding the theories put forward by these new Taoist sects, my master once explained to me that: “Actually, it’s not quite like that. Unless there is an absolute space for thinking or a space for thought, in reality, there is always a limit to space. For example, if you try to put mud in a wooden box, you can still pour water in, but if you knead the mud tightly, it becomes a more compact plasticine. How much water do you think you can still pour in? To put it simply, if I forbid you to use fire magic, then in this space, I can use my magic, which is absolutely stronger than yours, to communicate with the heavens and earth, so that the element of water is present here.

So, although I was shocked, I was not confused because of my master’s preaching and some miscellaneous knowledge I had seen. I only admired the ‘master’ here more and more. If the five elements are forbidden here, then this place must be filled with other ‘powers’.

I carefully felt some of it, and suddenly understood in my heart that nourishing the soul, then this place is full of “yin” energy. As for the body feeling comfortable, rather than replenishing, a better explanation is that it is full of vitality!

If that was the case, I suddenly released Shatu, and something that shocked me happened. Here, Shatu’s transformation was as real as life, and even every hair was lifelike. Even if there was speculation, this was still a shocking thing.

It really is the burial ground of a top-level demon, and I even suspect that it was built on a gathering point of yin veins, that is, the place where the purest yin energy is concentrated. I really can’t imagine that there is such a place in this world.

Sahu came to me with the message that it was very comfortable here, and even made its own thoughts a little clearer. Since Sahu felt comfortable, I didn’t summon it back, and let it stay outside. Not only Sahu, but also Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao felt very comfortable.

However, humans are different from demons. If the body is exposed to too much yin energy, the yang energy will be greatly affected. It is only because the vitality here is also strong that we can withstand the coldness brought by this “yin energy.”

It is truly amazing that vitality is used as “yang qi” to transform this place into a place where yin and yang are truly balanced, and it also isolates the power of the five elements. It has completely overturned my imagination. Standing here, I really began to yearn for the magical era when many truths were submerged in history and great talents emerged.

“Chengyi, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go,” Wu Laogui urged. Here, as a spirit, it also felt comfortable.

But Chengxin was serious. He took out a small bottle of pills from his bag and gave me and Ruoxue one each, saying, “The yin energy here is too strong. Although it is pure and does not contain negative emotions, it will eventually affect us. If we stay here for a long time, our yang bodies will even freeze our blood. It is better to take it.”

After saying that, Brother Chengxin took the pill first. I and Ru Xue had absolute trust in Brother Chengxin, so without thinking, we took the pill. As soon as the pill entered our mouths, a warm breath rose from our bodies, as if relieving some of the cold from the depths of our bodies.

However, I found it funny that Brother Chengxin’s face had a look of “pain” on it. I guess these pills are actually made from very precious medicinal herbs.

Step by step, we stared at the misty fog and began to walk on this magical mountain. I already had an answer in my mind as to what this fog was: it was fast becoming a substantial yin energy鈥攑ure yin energy!

This is too precious. If cultivators choose to avoid the world and cultivate, and if there are suitable methods and pills to protect the body, this place is simply a dream paradise!

But this is too idealized and impossible to achieve. In this world, with such an environment, this kind of thinking can only be ideal.

The only thing I could do as I walked up the mountain was to ignore the abyss beneath my feet. I tried to focus my attention on the mountain wall, and that’s when I discovered that the main carving on the mountain wall was a dragon. Each scale was larger than my entire body. This was an absolutely shocking miracle. If this mountain could appear in the world, then China would have another miracle that would shock the world!

But in fact, this is also impossible. There are too many unsolved mysteries about this mountain, such as why it only appears once every few hundred years and what power can hide such a huge mountain.

I wondered if I would get an answer after climbing up. Looking at the misty fog above, I suddenly felt a great longing for this tomb of the dragon that I could not even explain to myself!

After passing a corner of the mountain trail, we could see the scene below the ice road again. At this time, we were already nearly 70 to 80 meters away from the ice surface. It was really “soul-stirring” to look down like this, but we had to look down. There were two groups of people chasing us, weren’t there?

Looking down, the people below looked like ants, but we could clearly see that the people in the front had already successfully climbed onto the ice road. They were really fast. We had only been on the mountain for about ten minutes when they had all come over and had already assembled their equipment to start climbing the ice road.

“If we hurry up and get up there early, maybe you can still set up a formation,” Cheng Xin said to me, looking down.

“I’m afraid there’s not much time to set up a formation. Do you really think I’m a genius? Even with Xiao Bei here, it’s impossible. But we’re not without an advantage, because the five elements are restricted here.” I said to Cheng Xin Ge as I climbed the stairs.

“Who is Xiao Bei?” Cheng Xin Ge asked this question first, and I only remembered that I had only given Cheng Xin Ge a general idea of the little ghost’s incident. He didn’t know the specific name of the person at all.

But the next moment, Brother Chengxin was excited. He was so excited that he almost slipped down the mountain. Fortunately, Xiao Xi was quick and grabbed him, preventing a tragedy. But Brother Chengxin didn’t care about this at all. He asked me loudly, “Are you serious? Restricting the five elements? Doesn’t that mean that we have an enormous advantage? You have Silly Tiger!”

Indeed, Brother Chengxin is not stupid. He immediately grasped the key point. Here, the power of the five elements is restricted, but there is also sufficient yin energy. Then, Shatu can indeed be greatly utilized. We have inadvertently once again taken an advantage other than the terrain!

So, in the face of Chengxin’s excitement, I nodded and said, “Yes, Shahu can play to his full potential, but it won’t necessarily be easy. The ones who will suffer are Xiao Chengqian and his clan. Don’t forget that the evil cultivators’ ghost heads can also play to their full potential here.”

Brother Chengxin no longer cared, and waved his hand, saying, “What are you afraid of? We have the secret methods of our sect. This time, we may even have to start a war that will shake the entire circle of cultivators!”

Yes, you haven’t learned the secret methods of the sect, and I’m still the one who fights. It’s really easy. I’m speechless, but I can’t say this to this dark-hearted man, otherwise he might get a flash of inspiration and ‘remember to hate’ me.

We continued to travel in silence, hoping to arrive early and get familiar with the environment. This was also a hidden advantage. We didn’t expect to be able to open the tomb in time, after all, sealing the tomb required more than just a large array of four demon spirits.

But that doesn’t mean we won’t try!

Soon, the two clans also went up the mountain, and we were already a hundred meters ahead. I sensitively discovered another shocking change!

Specifically, after reaching a distance of 100 meters, the murals on the mountain wall changed!
