170 Reappearance of the treasure mountain (2/2)
Just as the flying ice mountain had passed over another one of the islands in its path towards the Mainland, a flying ship made its way towards the front of the mountain and stopped in the path.
Seeing all of this from the highest peak, Bai Long had a funny smile on his face as he imagined what the expression of those idiots inside the shop would be when the mountain would crash into them.
The very same way they did to all the other ships that tried to stop them for whatever reason it might be.
Yup. Never once did Bai Long or Qingling stop the flying mountain when someone tried to stop them by using their flying ships.
This was why if someone looked closely enough they would see a notable sized dent towards the lower part of the floating mountain from having destroyed around six flying ships since the start of their journey.
Around the third island that they saw since leaving the Xiao Dao Continent, Bai Long noticed a visible difference in the standard of living from all the way up on the flying mountain which allowed him to believe that the Xiao Dao Continent was really too far away from the centre of the world.
Due to this, it became quite common for him to see flying ships. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said about those who saw the flying mountain which might be why they tried to stop it.
The same as they had done to the ones before, the flying mountain wasn't stopped by anyone causing it to destroy the flying ship and continue on its journey with just a little trembling due to the impact.
”What does that mark? The tenth one?”
”No. This one's the seventh one. What do you think all of them are even after?”
”Who knows. I remember destroying all the shops when I was first travelling towards the Xiao Dao Continent from the Mainland.”
Shrugging her shoulders while replying, Qingling was also now starting to think about what was so exciting about her flying mountain that was causing so many ships to try and stop it.
In fact, even after the shops were destroyed many cultivators tried to jump on the mountain in desperate hopes of getting on it.
Luckily, this time she had others to do it in her place due to which Qingling didn't need to do it on her own.
What she didn't know about however was that the ice mountain which Qingling used to travel was actually talked about as a myth by those living in the islands.
Those who saw it so many years back had told stories about how a glistening mountain full of treasures once flew in the skies but no one managed to get on it to obtain anything from it.
And due to growing up while hearing those stories, everyone who saw the ice mountain in the skies were filled with hopes of getting on it and trying to obtain at least one of the uncountable heaven-defying treasures on it.
