Episode 15 – Heavy Treasure Chapter 40 – Days in the Amethyst Mountain Range
Inside the canyon, there was a large number of Amethyst Monstrous Beasts surrounding the shore of that lake, and the small purple cubs were standing on top of the heads of the giant beasts, staring at the lake water.
A head of Amethyst Monster Beasts came up to the shore from within the lake, each one of them with their heads lowered.
“All of them are idiots, they couldn’t even find a few to escape in.”
That young beast was furious.
None of those purple monster beasts dared to say anything.
The young beast hesitated for a moment, “We’ve wasted half a day on the shore of this lake, and the fog tide is almost over for this day. We can’t waste all our time here.”
This purple young beast immediately said loudly, “Little ones, go, leave this place and continue to kill humans.”
“Roar At that moment, countless Amethyst Monster Beasts roared with excitement.
They also wanted to kill, after all, there is only a fog tide once in a billion years, and it is only on this day that they can come out, this day is very precious, if it is all wasted here, they will also feel worthless.
Countless amethyst monsters roared and followed the purple cubs as they left.
“Hmph, I’ll remember those few, I hope you guys are still around for the next fog tide, I’ll be sure to treat you well then.”
A hint of cunning swept through the clear eyes of the purple cub beast.
The killing was going on, a large number of amethyst monsters were spread all over the place, and many humans were killed. This time, because of the fog tide coming in, the God level powerhouses, which originally exceeded a hundred million, were now killed, not one in ten, and those who were alive, even if they were added to those who were originally in the Amethyst Mountain Range, were less than ten million. When the blood sun sets and the purple moon comes out, the day of the fog tide ends.
Of course, the Amethyst Mountain Range is covered in white fog all year round. You can’t see the blood sun or the purple However, the entire Amethyst Mountain Range is very punctual.108 The Amethyst Magic Cave ejects a sharp decrease in the number of amethysts and returns to its usual state. The centaurs of the eighteen clans outside the Amethyst Mountain Range stopped, while also feeling excited about getting so many amethyst crystals.
As for inside the Amethyst Mountain Range, all those Amethyst Monsters immediately set off on their way home and soon disappeared inside the Amethyst Mountain Range. There were so many Amethyst Monsters, but it was hard for the God-level powerhouses to spot any more.
Because Linley and the others weren’t sure of the exact time because they were inside that cave, they simply waited for more than ten hours in one breath, and it was only on the next day that they emerged from the bottom of the lake.
Next to the shore of the lake within the canyon. Linley and the six of them were sitting on the ground aside resting.
That Jarod’s face was filled with joy as he excitedly said, ”The Day of the Misty Tide is finally over, after this day, we’ll have another hundred million years of long, quiet days. I didn’t expect that I, Jarod, would also be able to survive two consecutive Fog Tide Days.”
“To be able to survive, it’s worth it to lose that one god split.”
Garland was also happy in his heart.
Linley looked at Jarod and Garland, and he could tell. Garland and his duo were happy from the bottom of their hearts, so he couldn’t help but be puzzled in his mind and inquired, “Jarod, in this Amethyst Mountain Range, we can only see a distance of one to two hundred meters, it’s covered in white mist all year round, and we can’t get out. You guys don’t care at all?”
Linley’s words also caused a resonance in the hearts of Bebe and Olivia.
In the Amethyst Mountain Range, there was no danger other than on the day of the fog tide. But all year round, they endured that amazing gravitational force. Even flying could not be done. At the same time, only being able to see within a range of one or two hundred meters, year round, would indeed be boring and painful!
Jarod and Garland looked at each other and both laughed.
Jarod looked at Linley, ”Linley, it’s not that we don’t want to go out, but it’s that this is this hellhole, it’s impossible to go out. Since we can’t get out, what can we do? Just be quiet and enjoy life. At least, I still have Garland.”
Garland’s face also flushed slightly. The gaze that looked at Jarod contained a deep love, relying on each other for nearly eternity years, they could no longer leave each other.
“I just don’t believe I can’t get out.”
Bebe grunted, “Let’s walk directly towards the front without flying. Wait until we get to the end of the Amethyst Mountain Range. Keep walking! I just don’t believe it’s impossible to walk. Or else, walk to the end. I’ll drill the ground again and go underground!”
The land that was out of the range of the Amethyst Mountain Range wouldn’t be much harder.
“It’s impossible to walk out!”
Na Galan persuaded, “The gravitational pull of this Amethyst Mountain Range isn’t straight up and down, but rather, the Norse Amethyst Mountain Range attracts in all directions, and no matter if you’re under the ground, on the ground, or in the air above, you will be attracted by the Amethyst Mountain Range!”
“What?”
Linley was startled. He himself had also read that book about the brief description of the Laws Arcane, about the Gravity Space Ground, that was equal to forming a Gravity Space in a certain area, but Linley had never heard of it before, to the point of making a certain whole attract every place in all directions.
This Amethyst Mountain Range was like a giant magnet.
Regardless of whether one was below, to the side, or above the Amethyst Mountain Range, they all had to endure that gravitational force.
“Moreover, besides the gravitational force, there is also that weird windy area. In which area, one simply cannot walk out.”
Jarod said, and then he smiled, “Delia, Linley, thank you for this time. Garland and I will leave first.”
After the two Jarods left, Linley, Delia, Bebe, and Olivia didn’t give up. Although they had heard Jarod say so, they wouldn’t give up until they went to see for themselves. Immediately, the four of them set off directly along a straight line.
The canyon Linley and the others were in was tens of thousands of miles from the very edge of the Amethyst Mountain Range.
The gravitational pull within the Amethyst Mountain Range was too great, and Linley’s speed wasn’t too fast, it took most of a month before Linley and the others arrived at the edge of the Amethyst Mountain Range. However, as Linley took a step to continue walking, he felt a terrifying gravitational force rapidly act on his entire body, instantly pulling Linley back into the Amethyst Mountain Range.
It was bizarre!
Stepping onto the rocks at the very edge of the Amethyst Mountain Range, Linley and the others were still fine. But as soon as they took a step towards the front, they were abruptly pulled back into the Amethyst Mountains by that gravitational force.
This kind of bizarre gravitational force was something Linley had never heard of before.
In gravitational space, the gravitational force was attracted towards the bottom. But this gravitational force, surprisingly, was centered on the Amethyst Mountain Range, attracting in all directions.
Without even being able to take a step across the Amethyst Mountain Range, how could Linley and the others leave?
At the edge of this. Linley and the others had racked their brains for a whole month. Yet they had gained nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to give up, and all four of them chose to start living within a mountain pass only a few hundred miles from this edge. The Three Great God Branches of Fire were all cultivating, while Linley’s earthly original self was accompanying Delia.
Linley sat casually on the ground, his back leaning against the stone wall behind him. Delia was also leaning against Linley’s side, Delia looked up at Linley, Delia understood in her heart that Linley was yearning for a life full of ***, it would be unimaginable to stay in this Amethyst Mountain Range for hundreds of millions of years.
Delia still remembered. The month they had spent constantly trying at the edge of the Amethyst Mountain Range.
In fact, half a day was enough for the attempts alone.
However, it was because Linley and Olivia didn’t want to give up, they desperately tried to find a way to try again and again, they both wanted to leave this and return to hell. But after persisting for a month, Linley finally… Giving up, Delia understood. Linley was unwilling in his heart.
“Linley, do you want to go out so badly?”
Delia said softly, “Or, with a drop of that green-colored water droplet?”
Linley turned his head to look at Delia beside him and shook his head slightly.
The matter of the Lord God’s power, when he had separated from the Volcano Giant Psylocke, within the twenty years of his retreat, Linley had told Delia and Bebe. They also both knew …… that Linley was relying on the power of the Lord God in this last place.
Using the power of the Lord God, one was absolutely certain to resist this gravitational force.
But could one use it?
Linley shook his head and said, ”Even if I use the power of the Lord God and can resist that gravitational force. I also don’t know if I’ll be able to fly out of that chaotic region. Delia, you should know by now that there was once an Elder God powerhouse who was able to resist the gravitational force, but he couldn’t fly out of that weird windy region either.”
“If you use the power of the Lord God and can’t get out? That would be too miserable.”
“What’s more, the power of the Lord God, is a very important treasure that can’t be wasted here, unless it’s very important. Otherwise, you have to wait until the moment of life and death before you can use it.”
Linley understood that this Lord God’s Power could save not only himself, but also Delia and the others at a critical moment.
It was the treasure that turned the tide. How could it be used so easily?
“But here. Billions of years, can you hold on?”
Delia said softly.
Linley reached out and embraced Delia in his arms. In a low voice, he said, “Delia, it’s not just billions of years… If that Jarod and the others can hold out, why can’t I? Being with you, even if I spend eternity, I am willing.”
A trace of emotion welled up in Delia’s heart, and Linley embraced even more tightly.
“Linley, what do you think of Sasha, Taylor and the others now? Are they doing well in the Yulan Continent?”
Lying in Linley’s arms, Delia said softly.
Thinking of his sons and daughters, Linley couldn’t help but have a smile on his face, “They should be doing well, and I wonder, if they’ve thought of me.”
Delia laughed as well, tilting her head back to look at Linley and teasingly said, “Of course I miss you, father. However, I’m afraid that Taylor, Sasha, and the others wouldn’t have imagined that …… the greatest, most powerful father in their hearts would be trapped within a mountain range in hell, and most likely for billions of years.”
Linley couldn’t help but laugh as well.
Then he sighed, his gaze looking at the white mist in the distance, seeming to penetrate space to see the Yulan Continent, “We’re in hell, and the Yulan Continent is too far away from us.”
In the days of the Amethyst Mountain Range land, Linley’s heart was serene, as the Honored One didn’t need to cultivate the other Laws, and Delia had also reached the Upper Divine Realm and didn’t cultivate either. Linley also accompanied Delia every day, and the two of them lived a quiet, leisurely life.
Of course, Linley’s Earth Wind, Earth, and Fire God Branches were in cultivation.
Bebe and Olivia were similarly cultivating, and were also sparring from time to time.
Linley’s Wind Elemental Law, because the two great arcana of sonic sound were perceived and fused together, this advancement was also slow. As for the fire elemental law, this was Linley’s weakest item, so naturally he practiced… The speed was even slower.
Only the Laws of the Earth, in the Earthwalking Art, because Linley didn’t want to fuse other arcana either, so he cultivated it, at a faster speed.
Tranquil days, soon more than fifty years had passed, and during this process, because he was in the Amethyst Mountain Range, he felt the gravity all year round. Feeling gravity all year round. Linley had also gotten a slight introduction to the Gravity Space in the Laws of the Earth. It was just that the Gravity Space Arcane was too difficult, so Linley’s main focus was still on the Earthwalking Technique.
Linley had been cultivating the Earthwalking Art for nearly twenty years before he had entered the Amethyst Mountain Range.
Now that he had been practicing for another fifty years or so, Linley had finally cultivated the Earthwalking Art to the point of great accomplishment. Body, Bebe, and Olivia were together.
“Boss, you’re really something, the Earthwalking Art has also reached its grand completion!”
Bebe cheered.
“This Earthwalking Art, originally, is somewhat related to the element of earth, and it belongs to one of the six arcane arts of the Laws of the Earth, a relatively simple one. But even so. It still took me a total of over seventy years to break through.”
Linley lamented.
Seventy years of earth time, Linley’s greatest progress was actually his soul!
In the Amethyst Mountain Range, the last thing that was lacking was amethyst!
On the ground of the Amethyst Mountain Range, as long as one was serious about picking up amethyst crystals, one would be able to pick up more than ten thousand of them in a day’s work. If you go to the Amethyst Magic Cave, although it is said that the current eruption is not as good as the day of the fog tide. When it stops, the amethyst laying in the pit is not too much, but even so. Relying on the elemental giant hands to grab them, I’m afraid that in half a day, they would be able to grab a million of them.
When Bebe and Olivia were bored, they had once gone there and spent a month beside that trap pit, fishing for hundreds of millions of amethyst crystals before finally returning from boredom. In the Amethyst Mountain Range, the amethyst was too worthless.
Other people had trouble refining amethyst. But Linley was different.
After refining amethyst crystals for a long period of time and strengthening his soul, nowadays Linley could be much stronger than he was fifty years ago. After all, his soul had been growing over these fifty years.
“Having this earthwalking technique makes it safest in the Amethyst Mountains.”
Olivia sighed, “This rock is still considered a part of the earth, and by performing the Groundwalking Technique, one can merge into it and walk through it, and on the day of the fog tide, if one has this Groundwalking Technique. Staying alive is most assured.”
Linley also nodded slightly.
There were only just 10% of God-level powerhouses who practiced the Laws of the Earth, and there were relatively few of those who had comprehended the Earthwalking Technique in this part of the world. That Jarod and Garland were also unlucky in that neither of them had ever practiced the Earth Laws. They knew that practicing Earthwalking Technique could save their lives in the Amethyst Mountain Range.
But this cultivation, it’s not something you can cultivate just because you want to. Even if you have enough time.
“Boss. You try it. How about this Earthwalking Technique?”
Bebe’s eyes glowed.
Linley smiled, “I was going to try it out then, Linley calmed himself down instantly performing the Earthwalking Technique. Linley felt himself completely merge into the boundless earth element, and the rocks were naturally filled with earth elements, easily penetrating the rocks, Linley moved forward at breakneck speed within the rocks.
“Boss disappeared, this earthwalking technique is pretty interesting.”
Bebe laughed.
Olivia’s heart was filled with admiration, “This Linley is indeed formidable, possessing three divine doppelgangers and now comprehending this earthwalking technique.”
However, there was some comfort in Olivia’s heart as he had finally cultivated the Laws of Darkness to the Middle God realm as well after all these years.
The first time he performed the Earthwalking Technique, the ground was indeed marvelous.
Linley let himself weave in and out of the rocks to his heart’s content, ”Performing the Earthwalking Technique, it’s really interesting. But …… this Amethyst Mountain Range is filled with gravity everywhere, even if I perform the Earthwalking Technique, I won’t be fast enough.”
Even as his body merged into the elements, he still felt the effects of that gravitational force.
Linley kept advancing, and didn’t know how many thousands of miles he had advanced.
Suddenly —- “Huh?”
Linley suddenly realized that deep within the rocks of the Amethyst Mountains, there was an empty cave. This one cave didn’t have any exits, yet it appeared inside the belly of the mountain. It was indeed strange.
With a movement of his mind, Linley’s body coalesced and appeared in this cave.
“This cave is quite large.”
Linley took a closer look, the cave was ten meters tall and tens of meters long and wide, but there was no passageway. This cave was simply sealed, and Linley also sensed that this cave should be naturally formed.
There wasn’t a single trace of excavation!
“This natural formation, it’s truly marvelous.”
Linley marveled in his heart.
“Hehe, boy from the Four Divine Beasts family, why did you come to me?”
Suddenly a crisp voice rang out, Linley was startled into a jolt in his heart, turning his head —- Hurrah, that adorable purple cub was on the ground, he tilted his little head and looked at Linley, his eyes full of cunning, “I didn’t expect it ah, I originally waited until the next day of the Mist Tide to look for trouble from you guys, but, you actually ran to me.”
“Escape!”
Linley didn’t hesitate and directly executed the Earthwalking Technique.
“Peng!”
Linley’s entire body hit the ground so hard that he couldn’t even get away.
“Came to my territory and still want to leave?”
This purple cub grunted, its eyes filled with smugness, “Tsk, billions of years of boredom, ah, here comes such a good plaything, how should I play him?”
Linley’s heart was bitter, he had only performed the Earthwalking Technique to come to this cave that didn’t have any passageways at all, how did he run into the hands of this little purple cub beast?
