Chapter 163 – Luo Shen Mountain
“Luo Shen Mountain?”
At the beginning, Qinghan hunkered with half-closed eyes, pretending to doze off. Because he was so embarrassed to sit with Qingwu and her grandfather, so he figured out silence would be the best policy. Yet, when Ye Qingniu mentioned the Luo Shen Mountain, Qinghan opened his eyes, which were filled with curiosity. Instead of acting absentmindedly, he strained his ears, hoping not to miss any detail.
To Qinghan, the Luo Shen Mountain was a place he felt both familiar and strange with. Obviously, this was the very place where his father had been assassinated by four upper-level Demonic Kings, when he had ventured there alone. Although the Ye Family immediately came to his help, once they received the reports from the scouts, when they arrived, however, his father was already nearly dead. By the time his father was carried home, he only groaned out several words, before he passed away.
Since Qinghan was a child, he was told of his father’s story time and time again, yet he had never had a chance to explore this frequently-mentioned Luo Shen Mountain. Now, since Elder Qingniu had the mood to talk about it, Qinghan grasped this opportunity to inquire more about it, “Elder Qingniu, why are there so many treasures in the Luo Shen Mountain? Just now, you mentioned there are even Immortal-level items? I thought that a saint-level item is already a super treasure. What kind of special function will Immortal-level items manifest? Oh, sorry, one more question, why do we have to wait another five years, before we can venture on this mountain?”
“Yeah, grandpa, I share the same confusion with Qinghan. Would you please take us to the mountain when we get close to it? I’ve heard that the Luo Shen Mountain is founded by an ancient Giant Immortal, isn’t it? Oh, it’s also said, that the number of treasures there is countless! Come on, grandpa, tell us more. You know, it’s boring just sitting here silently.” Qingwu interrupted naughtily. In front of her grandfather, she couldn’t show any intimacy with Qinghan, in case Elder Qingniu would raise suspicion. That was why she said that she was bored.
“Errr… Alright, since I’ve nothing special to do right now, I’ll tell you something about this mysterious mountain. After all, you have to get yourselves familiar with this mountain if you really decide to go on the Heaven Path five years later. Ok, strictly speaking, Luo Shen Mountain isn’t even a mountain at all. Rather, it’s a channel to connect different turbulent flowing spaces!” Elder Qingniu stroked Qingwu’s hair and explained patiently.
“Not even a mountain? It’s a channel? What are flowing spaces by the way?” Qinghan was completely captured by the fancy new stuff, and he couldn’t help but wanting to get to know as much as possible about it.
“The flowing spaces… Errr… I’ll let you know more after you break into the Realm of the Emperor. Kids, just listen carefully and don’t disrupt me, alright? Plus, sometimes it’s beyond my knowledge to explain it in details, because all of these legends are inherited by our ancestors.” Elder Qingniu shook his head, and refused to answer Qinghan’s questions.
“A long, long time ago, approximately 100,000 years, a super powerful immortal emerged. Unfortunately, this mighty immortal got severely injured one day, and he hid all of his treasures he owned in his lifetime in a place named the Soul Emperor Pavilion. Among various flowing spaces, he designed a plethora of Little Immortal Pavilions, as well as the channels bridging between these places. As for the cultivators living in the Material Space, every ten years, they’re allowed to go in the mountain to find treasures. If anyone is lucky enough to obtain the most valued item in a Small Immortal Pavilion, he or she, after becoming an immortal, will be given the privilege to enter the Soul Emperor Pavilion to obtain the ancient legacy!”
Looking at the bewildered faces of both Qinghan and Qingwu, who acted as if they were listening to a fantasy story, Elder Qingniu laughed out. When he was a young man, and was first told of the truth of the Luo Shen Mountain, he had had exactly the same perplexed expression as these two youngsters. Therefore, he stopped in the middle, giving the two kids more time to digest the shocking content.
