Chapter 165 – Terrifying Gravitation Field
At dawn, they continued their journey, as their carriage was guided along the bumpy mountainous road. The squeaking noises, made by the wheels, even scared away some of the nearby birds.
After about three to four hours, the team had gone through a forest and arrived at a large plain.
“Hey, guys, look, is that the Luo Shen Mountain?”
Lifting the curtains of the carriage up, Qingwu and Qinghan looked afar at the plain, behind which loomed a fog-wrapped mountain, like a towering skyscraper. The mountain stood out amid the flatness of the grass-ridden plain.
“Ah, you’re right. That is the Luo Shen Mountain. Here we are! I’ll allow you guys to have a closer look at the mountain when we stop there.” Elder Qingniu nodded his head approvingly. He wasn’t bothered by the youngsters’ surprise and excitement; rather, he found them quite adorable, because they reminded him of his own youth.
“Wow, this mountain is super high! It’s perpendicularly straight. Look, the whole mountain is covered in fog, except the top. Why? Oh, wait… what’s that over the top? Ah… is that a pavilion?” Qingwu hung out of the carriage window, to have a closer view of the mountain. It was her first time seeing such a mysterious scenery. Of course, she couldn’t help but to reveal her excitement.
“Errr… yeah, you’re right. It looks like a pavilion. Could that be the legendary Little Immortal Pavilion? What your grandpa told us about weren’t lies!” While, at the same time, Qinghan squeezed next to Qingwu, trying to get a better position to watch the details. When his eyes landed on the top, his mouth fell wide open, as he found it totally unbelievable to see the pavilion-like architecture on top of the mountain.
“Hehe, not everyone is welcomed in the Small Immortal Pavilion, it’s a place only for the most capable and courageous cultivators, for those who pass all three trials. Now you know that I’m not bragging, the proof is right in front of your eyes. Never has anyone doubted this legend. Because the Small Immortal Pavilion is such visible evidence, that no one can deny its very existence. Also, many of the miraculous phenomena in the Luo Shen Mountain all support the legend.” Elder Qingniu explained.
“It’s amazing! But, why doesn't anybody directly fly to the Small Immortal Pavilion and fetch the treasure? Has anyone done that?” Qingwu asked in confusion.
“Oh, poor girl, this isn’t as simple as you might think. If what you said was real, then the Little Immortal Pavilion wouldn’t exist anymore!” Qinghan found Qingwu’s idea laughable. But, when he replied, he looked at her with affectionate feelings in his eyes.
“Hehe, my little darling, your brain is much slower these days. Qinghan is right, if the adventure is this easy, the Luo Shen Mountain would have already been destroyed. As per the legend, as long as an intruder gets the item in the Small Immortal Pavilion, the mountain will automatically perish. As for why nobody has flown to the top, hmm, this can only be explained by the mystery of this mountain. Anyone who approaches the Luo Shen Mountain, will be dragged down by a mysterious, invisible force, thus even those higher-realm cultivators cannot fly freely. They have to move forward step by step. The gravitation there is overwhelmingly huge. Later, when you get there, you’ll have a first-hand experience yourselves…” Ye Qingniu patted on the head of Qingwu, as he explained.
“Uncle Ye Ping, please whip the horses harder. I can’t wait to see the Luo Shen Mountain!” Qingwu winked to Qinghan, before she turned to Ye Ping, who was driving the carriage in the front.
……
Although the Luo Shen Mountain had appeared in their eyes in the distance, it still took them more than an hour to arrive at the foot of the hill.
“Everyone, stop for some rest. Youngsters, go out and have some fun in the vicinity! Remember, you have to be back within half an hour!”
Ye Qingniu allowed the young lords and ladies to observe the Luo Shen Mountain for half an hour. Hardly had he finished these words, or all the youngsters had already jumped off their respective carriages, and darted in the direction of that legendary mountain.
