Chapter 118: An Unwelcome Guest

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the southwest direction of the Myriad Mountain Realm, there was a mountain known as the Cloud Mountain.

The reason why it was referred to as the Cloud Mountain was because the mountain was obscured under clouds and fog all year round, with no one able to see the actual mountain itself.

Surrounding the Cloud Mountain was an expanse of plateaus, where strong winds persisted all year round, hence it was also known as the Hilly Lands of The Wind.

A massive brick descended from the sky and landed on a plateau.

“So, this is the Hilly Lands of The Wind? The scenery is quite nice here!”

An Lin couldn’t help but offer up words of praise after surveying the surrounding landscape.

Green meadows, howling winds, a mountain obscured under clouds and fog as well as fresh clean air. Those were his first impressions of this place.

“I’ve heard that the mutant beasts are quite ferocious here, so be on your guard, everyone.” Xiao Chou reminded.

The group continued onwards, encountering quite a few beasts, but they were all either docile antelopes or cattle, with no appearances from mutant beasts.

An Lin looked toward the gigantic mountain in front of them and a thought suddenly occurred to him. “Let’s go explore that mountain!”

Xiao Chou also cast his gaze toward the mountain. “That mountain is called the Cloud Mountain, it’s quite a renowned mountain in the Myriad Mountain Realm. Apparently, the mountain is over one hundred thousand feet tall, protruding straight into the sky.”

After learning of the mountain’s height, An Lin’s eyes lit up. He could take this opportunity to learn another cultivation technique!

“Stage One Wind Spirit—Condition: Jump off a cliff one hundred thousand feet in height once.”

Now that he had reached the Spirit Nurturing Stage and learned Sword Kinesis Flight, he was a lot more confident in being able to complete the requirements for this task.

An Lin and his group began to make their way toward the Cloud Mountain, encountering a Twin-Headed Blood Cat on the way. This mutant beast really was quite a bit more powerful than normal, with power comparable to a cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

However, in the end, it was still bludgeoned to death by Xiao Chou’s silver staff.

Coming to the foot of the mountain, they saw a huge lake, which was known as White Cloud Lake.

The roaring wind set off a series of white ripples on the face of the water, creating quite a sight to behold.

“Big Brother Chou, we’ve come this far and still haven’t discovered any Rainbow Cows, is your source of information really reliable?” Miao Tian complained with a disgruntled expression.

Xiao Chou scratched his head as an awkward expression appeared on his face. “The existence of Rainbow Cows was initially introduced to me by the Great Ox King. He wouldn’t stoop as low as to lie about something like this to me would he…”

“I’m going to fly to the top of the mountain, then do some bungee jumping from the summit. Who wants to tag along? ”

An Lin suddenly announced whilst pointing toward the Cloud Mountain.

Luo Ziping and the others immediately shook their heads as all the color drained from their faces.

Xiao Chou was also aware that An Lin tended to do some strange things sometimes, but he always had his reasons. Seeing as none of the other team members wanted to accompany An Lin, he volunteered to stay behind to protect everyone.

An Lin passed a sensory talisman to Xiao Chou. “You guys can explore the area. The effective area of this sensory talisman is only five kilometers in radius, so I’ll go find you guys when I’m done.”

An Lin began to fly toward the summit of the Cloud Mountain after everyone expressed their agreement.

After rising into the clouds, he continued to fly upwards along the side of the mountain.

There was plenty of vital energy in the Cloud Mountain and the more he flew upwards, the more lush and prosperous the surrounding plants became. There were all types of strange and rare flora growing on the sides of the mountain.

Spirit monkeys would appear in the trees from time to time and An Lin would occasionally see white cranes flying along the side of the mountain, letting out joyful cries.

“My God, the Cloud Mountain isn’t the base for some large Immortal Sect, is it?” An Lin thought to himself.

After all, this type of spectacle was far too rare. To an unsuspecting person, they’d definitely think they had stumbled upon some sort of immortal realm.

The side of the mountain was quite vertical and although there were a lot of spirit animals, thankfully there weren’t any powerful mutant beasts.

This had him breathing a sigh of relief. It would make his trip a lot more disastrous if he were to encounter two or three Spirit Beasts.

An Lin began to approximate his altitude as he continued to fly upwards. At about ninety thousand feet, he could already make out the summit of the mountain in the distance.

There was a flash of pink on the summit, looking as if it was a bunch of peach blossoms.

Bam!

Something crashed into An Lin with great force.

It was as if An Lin’s head had suddenly struck an invisible barrier, causing gold stars to dance in front of his eyes.

The black brick wobbled shakily and almost fell from the air.

“Ow! What the hell was that!?”

He gasped with shock before looking up.

However, the sight that greeted him was still just the beautiful scenery at the summit. There didn’t appear to be anything in the way.

An Lin extended his hand hesitantly toward the air and soon came into contact with an invisible barrier.

“Hmm… Could this be a barrier array formation?” An Lin was a little shocked.

Could it be that there really were people at the summit and that they had erected this barrier array formation?

An Lin decided to test his suspicions by yelling out. “Hi, is there someone up there?”

An Lin’s voice was very loud so it should be able to reach the summit.

…

At this moment, on the summit of the mountain.

There was a mini forest of peach blossom trees.

The peach blossoms were red and vibrant, as if they were blossoming during the height of April.

A woman wearing a pristine white daoist robe was painting under a tree.

She was quite relaxed and a light red flush tinted her cheeks. Her eyes were transfixed on the incomplete work of art in front of her.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the mountain below.

The voice was very loud, causing vibrations that brought a flurry of cherry blossom petals fluttering down onto the ground.

The woman furrowed her pretty brows, not wanting to deal with such a rude person.

This wasn’t the first time that something like this had happened anyway. Once the person found that they couldn’t breach the barrier array formation, they would leave.

…

An Lin was a little disappointed at not receiving a reply.

What to do now? He had come all this way, he couldn’t just give up.

There doesn’t appear to be anyone up there, I’ll only head up for a little while so there should be no problems…

He hesitated momentarily before making his decision.

Divine Inspection—Activate!

Barrier array formation flaw analysis…

In that moment, everything seemed to disappear around him.

The only thing left was the extremely large and convoluted veined patterns of the barrier array formation.

The path of circulation for vital energy in the barrier array formation, the location of the center of the formation, all its nodes, hidden lines, and flaws…

All of this information revealed itself to An Lin.

An Lin extended two fingers and pointed to a certain spot before releasing a powerful stream of energy.

“Break!”

Crack…

An opening appeared in the barrier array formation.

He wasn’t so lacking in morals that he would completely destroy the barrier array formation someone else had set up.

He was only taking advantage of a weak point in the barrier array formation, thereby creating a temporary passageway through which he could bypass the barrier array formation.

The passageway would seal by itself over time.

Upon hearing no further commotion, the woman at the summit assumed that An Lin had already left and once again focused her attention on her artwork.

She raised her paintbrush, the white crane on her artwork was still missing a set of eyes.

The eyes were the finishing touch to any artwork. Even works of art with no soul could often be imbued with one through a pair of well-drawn eyes.

She had now reached the most critical step in her painting.

A flash of inspiration appeared in her heart as she concentrated intently on the artwork in front of her, before bringing her paintbrush down to where the eyes of the white crane should be.

Boom!

An Lin’s black brick descended forcefully, creating a resounding crash.

The tremors running through the ground caused a sea of pink flower petals to rain down once again from the air, bringing with them a faint floral aroma.

This scene was one of beauty, but the woman’s mood was extremely sour in contrast.

Her paintbrush was jabbed into the paper, creating a large black spot.

The cute white crane now had eyes even bigger than its head…
