The sky was azure, without a cloud for thousands of li. Such excellent weather was naturally a good day for sightseeing. The Hidden Dragon Mountain Range was the place with the best scenery in the Great Yong Dynasty. In the past, on such a fine day, the aristocrats of the Great Yong Dynasty would come to the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range to sightsee. However, they would only sightsee in the periphery. No one dared to enter the depths of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range.
The entire Hidden Dragon Mountain Range was like a hidden dragon. It was the location of the Great Yong Dynasty's dragon vein. However, the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range was truly too large. Aside from some beautiful places, there were many places that were very dangerous. It was very difficult for ordinary people to set foot in these places. However, this was only for ordinary people. For cultivators, it was nothing.
Just like right now, in the depths of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, a thin and weak man dressed in black was shuttling through the steep mountain range. This man appeared to be no less than sixty years old. His hair was already somewhat white, his face was covered in wrinkles, and his body was short and thin. He looked like an old man with one foot in the grave.
However, it was this old man who walked through these lofty mountains and precipitous ridges as if he were walking on flat ground. His movements were as nimble as an ape's, and his Qi and blood were extremely powerful. If a cultivator who knew how to observe Qi and blood, they would discover that the Qi and blood on this old man's body rushed out from the top of his head, like smoke rising into the sky. He was an expert who had cultivated his physical body to the peak.
However, this expert, who was invincible in the eyes of the secular world, was currently fleeing forward like a stray dog. His face was filled with fright, and he used all of his strength to urge the Qi and blood in his body. Every step he took covered a distance of several dozen zhang. In addition, he would occasionally glance back. However, every time he looked back, the expression on this old man's face would become even more fearful.
The person who caused this old man to be so fearful was actually a woman. This was a woman wearing a long white dress. She appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her eyebrows were like the dark moon, and her eyes were like stars. She had a devastatingly beautiful face that could cause the downfall of nations and bring calamity to the people. However, her face was covered in frost. Her eyes looked at the old man in front of her with a calm and unruffled appearance.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of beautiful woman would naturally be treated as a goddess. However, in the eyes of this old man, this woman was like an evil spirit. He would rather not meet her in his entire life. Because this woman with a frosty face was a terrifying figure who could crush him to death with a flick of her finger.
The white-clothed woman who was chasing the old man floated in the air and landed behind the old man. She looked at the old man running in front of her, as if she was not worried that he would escape her control. This made the old man extremely angry, but he did not dare to resist. He only dared to run with all his strength, hoping that the woman behind him would be kind and spare his life.
However, from the looks of it, the white-clothed woman, who couldn't be shaken off, didn't have this kind of awareness. Just like this, she followed behind the old man, crossing over mountain after mountain. In front of them was the tallest mountain in the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, Mount Longshou. Below Mount Longshou was the endless Chaotic Demon Sea to the east of the Great Yong Dynasty.
The old man was planning to escape into the Chaotic Demon Sea because the Chaotic Demon Sea was boundless and extremely dangerous. Not only were there all kinds of demonic beasts, there were also some demonic beasts hidden within. Therefore, ordinary people very rarely entered the Chaotic Demon Sea. Therefore, as long as he escaped into the Chaotic Demon Sea, the old man would have a chance of survival.
Seeing Mount Longshou in sight, a trace of joy appeared on the old man's face. However, he knew that this was the most crucial moment. As long as he could endure this moment, then he would truly have hope. Therefore, the old man once again urged the blood within his body with all his strength, doing his utmost to rush up Mount Longshou.
However, just as the old man rushed up Mount Longshou, he stared blankly there. His eyes were filled with despair. This was because, at an unknown time, the white-clothed woman was already standing on Mount Longshou, waiting for him there. Seeing this scene, the old man knew that he was finished. In the end, he still couldn't escape.
However, the old man was unwilling to surrender just like that. He was about to ascend to the heavens in one step, but it was precisely because of this woman's pursuit that his hope completely turned into despair. This filled the old man's heart with indignation and anger. Looking at the white-clothed woman blocking his way, the old man roared, "Han Ruoxue, are you really going to kill me?"
The white-clothed woman's name was Han Ruoxue. She was ranked second among the top ten elite disciples of the Medicine Valley and had already cultivated to the third-level Origin realm. After hearing the old man's words, she still had a frosty expression on her face as she said indifferently to the old man, "Fifth White, you snatched a Celestial Ascension Pill from an outer sect disciple of my Medicine Valley. Although this Celestial Ascension Pill is nothing to my Medicine Valley, you are not a disciple of the Medicine Valley and are not qualified to consume the Celestial Ascension Pill. Hand over the Celestial Ascension Pill, and on account of how difficult it was for you to cultivate, I'll leave your corpse intact."
"Haha, Han Ruoxue, leave my corpse intact? Han Ruoxue, you're really benevolent. I've long heard of the great name of the white-clothed and blood-thirsty Han Ruoxue. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation. It's impossible for me, Fifth White, to accept my fate. I, Fifth White, am at the fifth-level Heaven Ascension Realm after all. I don't believe that I can't injure you if I fight to the death! " Fifth White laughed heartily after hearing Han Ruoxue's words, but his laughter was somewhat desolate.
Fifth White was an illustrious figure in the Great Yong Dynasty. Even the ruler of the Great Yong Dynasty had to be courteous to him. After all, Fifth White was a powerful figure at the fifth-level Heaven Ascension Realm. In terms of strength, he was already the strongest person in the mortal world. It was very likely that he could reach the heavens in a single step and enter the Origin Realm. At that time, he would be like an immortal.
In this world, cultivators cultivated in the Body Realm and the Origin Realm. The Body Realm was divided into five layers. The first layer was Strength Training, the second layer was Toughness and Gentleness, the third layer was Divine Strength, the fourth layer was Inner Strengthening, and the fifth layer was Heaven Ascension. The five layers of the Body Realm all cultivated the body, allowing cultivators to cultivate a body of steel and Divine Strength with ample vitality.
Once a cultivator reached the fifth layer of the Body of Heaven's Ingress, they would be able to reach Reciprocity in a single step if they could take another step forward. The Reciprocity realm was far more powerful than the Body of Heaven's Ingress realm. Even a hundred cultivators at the fifth layer of the Body of Heaven's Ingress realm would not be able to defeat a cultivator at the first layer of the Origin realm. This was exactly why White Fifth feared Han Ruoxue so much.
There was a fundamental difference between the Origin Realm and the Body Realm. They were divided into nine layers, with the first layer being the lowest and the ninth layer being the strongest. Han Ruoxue was only seventeen years old, but she was at the third layer of the Origin Realm. She was definitely a genius among geniuses. Moreover, she had only entered the Medicinal Valley at the age of twelve and had only cultivated for five years, yet she had already reached the third layer of the Origin Realm.
The Medicinal Valley possessed the greatest status out of the five Immortal Dao Sects in this world. Although they were not the strongest, their status was irreplaceable. This was because all the Immortal Dao Sects were inferior to the Medicinal Valley when it came to refining pills. It was also because of this that no Immortal Dao Sect dared to oppose the Medicinal Valley. Becoming their enemy was definitely the most unwise choice.
The Body Realm cultivated the body and strengthened one's strength. At the fifth layer of the Body Realm, the vitality in one's body would be so dense that it would surge into the sky like smoke. The reason why the Heaven Ascension Realm was called the Heaven Ascension Realm was because breaking through would allow one to reach the heavens in a single step and reach the Origin Realm. Origin Realm was basically equivalent to immortals in the eyes of ordinary people.
In the Body Realm, no matter how powerful one's body was, they could not communicate with the energy of the world. They could only constantly cultivate and strengthen their body. However, after breaking through the Body Realm and reaching Origin Realm, they could communicate with the energy of the world and fly through the air. There was nothing they could not do. Obviously, they had reached the heavens in a single step.
Han Ruoxue had been sent to the Medicinal Valley by the Han family of the Great Yong Empire when she was twelve. In just five years, she had reached the third layer of the Origin Realm, receiving great attention from the Medicinal Valley. Correspondingly, the Han family had risen up in the Medicinal Valley because of Han Ruoxue, becoming the greatest clan in the Great Yong Empire. Their status was even greater than that of the Great Yong Empire, and Han Ruoxue herself was renowned in the cultivation world.
However, Han Ruoxue's reputation was forged through her own hands. Although she was a woman, she was ruthless and ruthless. Anyone who provoked her would be mercilessly obliterated by her, which was why she had the title of White Robes and Blood Hands. It obviously meant that Han Ruoxue's hands were already stained with blood, and she was an out-and-out demoness.
Of course, this was the evaluation of Han Ruoxue's enemies. To the disciples of the Medicinal Valley, Han Ruoxue was the most respected because she was famous for being protective of her own people in the Medicinal Valley. As long as a disciple of the Medicinal Valley was bullied outside, no matter who that person was, Han Ruoxue would seek justice for them. It was because of this that Han Ruoxue's reputation in the Medicinal Valley was even more resounding.
This time, an outer sect disciple of the Medicinal Valley was targeted by White Five when he was carrying out a mission outside. Although that outer sect disciple had also reached the fifth layer of the Physical Body Realm, he was no match for White Five. In the end, White Five heavily injured him and snatched away a Heavenly Power Pill.
However, that disciple was a disciple of the Medicinal Valley after all, so White Five still did not dare to kill him. After the heavily injured disciple returned to the Medicinal Valley and reported this matter, Han Ruoxue was naturally unwilling. She directly found White Five and chased him all the way here.
Now that Han Ruoxue was blocking Fifth White's path, his hopes of escaping into the Chaotic Demonic Sea were dashed. This made him completely despair, so he decided to risk his life. Even though the chances weren't high, he wouldn't be willing to give up if he didn't try.
