Chapter 91: The Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts
Dragon scales horse, four hooves treading on air, dragon scales on its body undulating, riding the wind.
The 'Doulou Xianfu' mountains stand tall, surrounded by clouds and mist. Sitting on the dragon-scale horse, Xuan Yuan sees this scene before him and suddenly feels his heart and chest incredibly broadened. Climbing high and looking far, one's spiritual experience is completely different. This is in stark contrast to being a frog at the bottom of a well.
A flock of white cranes flew between the mountains, and there were many strange beasts that Xuan Yuan had never seen before, guarding each mountain peak.
The forest wrapped in white mist emits a rich and dense aura, occasionally accompanied by the sounds of howling apes and roaring tigers.
One by one, the fine and long rivers flow with a gurgling sound, the river water is clear to the bottom, and the fish inside are swimming. Each of these fish has at least the strength of a Dou Shi (a high-ranking martial artist). In other words, ordinary people who want to eat fish from the rivers near the Dou Long Xian Fu (a legendary place) without having the strength of a Dou Shi will either be eaten instead or killed by a single swipe of the fish's tail, which is a normal occurrence.
Xuanyuan's heart was turbulent and majestic, with countless emotions.
"Xuanyuan, look at these mountain peaks. Each one is inhabited by at least one strong being with the power of a Dou Xian. Only those who have reached the level of Dou Xian are qualified to own their own mountain peak. Every person with the power of Dou Xian is extraordinary and may disguise themselves as an ordinary person to test you, to see if you're suitable to inherit their divine abilities. They choose their disciples from among the inner door disciples of 'Dou Long Xian Fu'. I was chosen by 'Jiu Tian Xian Feng Shan's' 'Feng Xian Zhe' and taken as a disciple."
Feng Lie spoke to Xuan Yuan without being condescending, but rather as an elder brother, instructing him in a gentle and sincere manner, sharing his own experiences.
"To outsiders, it seems that going through the Beast Forest trial is an extremely cruel thing, but those who enter the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' know that the struggles inside are a thousand times more cruel than in the Beast Forest. The ferocious beasts in the Beast Forest may have high intelligence, but how can they compare to humans? Humans are cunning and deceitful, with countless schemes and plots, and one careless move could lead to being killed without even a burial site. Xuan Yuan, I value you highly, but I won't be able to help you with everything. Once we enter the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mountain', be extremely careful in all matters. I believe that with your determination, you will quickly stand out and become a true disciple."
Xuanyuan furrowed his brow and asked:
"Isn't it forbidden for disciples of the Dragon and Phoenix Temple to kill each other?"
"Haha, the rules clearly state that, but do you think there's true fairness in this world? Reality is often cruel. If two disciples with similar backgrounds and status kill each other, the one who survives will naturally be guilty. But if a disciple without background or of low status gets killed, it's just a waste of life. Even if the killer is punished, the 'Duel Dragon Sect' will only give them a light punishment."
"In the inner disciples, dozens to nearly a hundred people die every day, all of whom are capable of making it through the Ten Thousand Beast Forest. A large majority of them died, and only a small minority stood out. As for the outer disciples, it's even more so, with at least thousands dying every day. I myself went from being an outer disciple to an inner disciple to a true transmission disciple, watching as my former close friends and brothers died, until I reached my current position. This is what 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' is all about."
"'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' has 80 million outer disciples, 8 million inner disciples, and 9,000 true transmission disciples. You can imagine it." Feng Lie's voice was very calm, but the mental shock he brought to Xuan Yuan was enormous. Originally thought that 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' would be much more peaceful than the outside world, but now Xuan Yuan knew that entering 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' was even more cruel than the outside.
"On the outside, many people say that I am tyrannical and cruel in my actions, killing anyone I see. But if I don't kill, how can I be intimidating? Only by being ruthless and using killing to stop killing can I deter the enemy from acting rashly. The more timid you appear, the more others will bully you, and your own resolve will also be affected. Xuan Yuan, do you understand?"
Xuanyuan let out a deep breath and said:
"I understand. I had already mentally prepared myself for this. If it were among the inner sect disciples, I would have nothing to fear. However, if a true disciple were to take action, then I truly wouldn't be able to withstand it."
"Don't worry about this, as long as you enter the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mountain', even if you are a true disciple, wanting to kill an inner door disciple requires evidence and cannot be done recklessly. Especially since I brought you in myself, among the true disciples, Xingyun and others who want to move against you must also consider the consequences. Although my ranking on the surface of the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' is within the top twenty, but you can see that among the countless immortal mountains surrounding the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion', there are many hidden disciples of the Dragon Fighting Immortal inheritance who do not reveal their names and do not participate in the struggles within the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion'. There are more hidden strongmen inside." Feng Lie said with a smile.
"Hmm." Xuan Yuan pondered the words he had just spoken to Feng Lie, filtering them in his mind as he began to contemplate how he should proceed from now on at the 'Doulou Immortal Mansion'.
After a moment, Feng Lie drove the 'Dragon Scale Horse' directly onto a large mountain. This mountain was lush and green everywhere, full of life.
"This is the Wan Shou Xian Shan, the master of Xian Shan is the 'Wan Shou Xian Zhe', now the Wan Shou Xian Shan is in charge by his disciple, Wan Chou. I have a good relationship with him, I'll take you to ask for a mount." Feng Lie laughed and said loudly: "Chou brother, I'm here to see you!"
The sound of the wind cracking spread far and wide, extremely loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire Wan Shou Xian Shan.
"Hmph, saying you came to see me is false, but I'm afraid coming here to deceive the alien beast is true?" Only one voice was heard, and it was transmitted reluctantly.
With an awkward smile on his face, he chuckled and said:
"It's still Brother Chou who knows my heart."
Feng Lie rode the Dragon Scale Horse and jumped down, landing on the Wan Shou Xian Mountain. A man wearing a "Wan Shou Pao" (Ten Thousand Beast Robe) appeared, his body seemingly gathering all the beasts together, giving people the feeling that he was the king of the ten thousand beasts.
"Hmph, last time you took away the Dragon Scale Horse, this one has the bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Horse infused in it. Once it reaches a certain realm, it can even transform into the 'Dragon Horse Heavenly Beast'. What more could you be dissatisfied with?" Wan Chou's face was filled with discontent, as if Wind Splitter wanting to take away this Dragon Scale Horse made him extremely heartbroken. However, in the next instant, sensing the aura on Wind Splitter's body, Wan Chou's expression changed, and he laughed in surprise:
"Haha, you little scamp has broken through to the Dou Huang realm? Congratulations are in order! Alright, today you can choose any exotic beast you want from me."
Feng Lie waved his hand and patted Xuan Yuan's shoulder, laughing:
"Today I brought him here to choose a horse to ride, it's not what I wanted for myself."
Wan Qiu looked at Xuan Yuan, and suddenly made Xuan Yuan feel a huge pressure in his heart. Xuan Yuan knew that Wan Qiu was absolutely a strong fighter in the Dou Huang realm.
Xuanyuan was calm and fearless in his heart, with a broad chest, facing the ten thousand enemies, he bowed his head and paid homage.
Xuanyuan saw Wan Shi brother.
"Haha, this kid is not bad. It seems he's your newly cultivated disciple. Your previous disciples you valued and nurtured all ended up getting killed. Now this kid has top-grade equipment on him, and you've even given him your 'Wind Spirit Gun'. Looks like you have a lot of confidence in him." Wan Chou burst out laughing.
"Of course, cut the nonsense and put away those fake ferocious beasts. Bring me a White Tiger Celestial Beast instead." Feng Lie burst out laughing.
Wan Qiu rolled her eyes and thought of pinching Feng Lie to death.
"White Tiger Divine Beast, did you think it was made of mud? Do you think you can have it just because you want it? If I could have had it, I would have caught it and made it my mount long ago."
"No White Tiger? Then the Green Dragon Spirit Beast will do..."
"Go die."
"Haha, kidding, kidding! See if there's a suitable mount for him?" Feng Lie said with a smile.
"Huh? His strength is too low, only at the level of a Dou Huang. It's not that he doesn't have it, but I'm afraid he can't tame it. You think everyone is like you, a reincarnation of a Wind Immortal, with innate immortal dignity and the ability to subdue demonic beasts." Wan Chou rolled his eyes and said.
"'Wind Immortal Reborn'?" Xuan Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Greedy Old Man a sentence: "What is 'Wind Immortal Reborn'?"
"I've felt from the start that this Wind Crack kid isn't ordinary, only eighteen years old and yet his cultivation speed is so fast. It's very likely that he's a reincarnated Wind Fighter who has attained spiritual intelligence." Greedy Old Man said: "There's a power being suppressed within his body, it's highly possible that it's the Wind Fighter. Only when he grows up will he be able to control the Wind Fighter within him!"
"Wind!" In this world, there are Doujin, Douto, Dousui, Douka, Doumoku, Dorai, and Doufuu, each of which is a rare species between heaven and earth. "Which rank will the Doufuu that Wind Splitting Master brother possesses be in the Doufuu rankings?"
"I'm not sure about that, but it should be at least in the top 36 names, otherwise it's hard to cultivate spiritual intelligence and reincarnate."
Xuanyuan took a deep breath of cool air. It seemed that there was a reason why the 'Doulou Xianfu' valued Fenglie so much.
"Why don't we do this, go take a look at the exotic beast eggs, pick one out and raise it from a young age? It'll be much better than these ones that already have their own spiritual intelligence. From birth, they can recognize the people around them as their masters. What do you think, will this work?" Wan Chou saw Feng Lie's slightly furrowed brow, and immediately smiled.
Xuanyuan nodded and smiled:
"It's great, thanks a lot, Master Wanqiu."
Xuan Yuan had already agreed, and Feng Lie couldn't say anything more. Now that Xuan Yuan had made his decision, he could only nod in agreement.
