A month later, in the canyon above the Gravity Mountain, Liu Yun sat there drinking wine. Occasionally, he would glance down and see a young man clad in thin robes sprinting with all his might.
"This fellow's adaptability is truly strong. Junior Sister Lingshuang, do you want a sip?" Liu Yun stretched his wine gourd towards Ye Lingshuang, only to see Ye Lingshuang glaring at him.
"It's fine if you don't want to drink. Why must you be so fierce? No matter what, you are still a princess." Liu Yun kept his wine gourd, only to see Ye Lingshuang's countenance turning heavy as sadness flickered in her eyes.
"Liu Yun." Jiang Huai who was standing behind coldly spoke. Liu Yun continued drinking as he faintly replied, "Junior Sister, calm down a little. I didn't say anything wrong."
"I know." Ye Lingshuang softly replied, her words causing Liu Yun's countenance to falter. After which, he joked, "Why don't junior sister marry me? I will definitely take good care of you."
"Scram." Ye Lingshuang cursed. This bastard's skin was truly thick.
"Sigh, seems like I still have to go to the Lakeside Lodge to look for Fairy Zi. I'll come back next month to visit him." Liu Yun turned and walked away in a carefree manner. Ye Lingshuang and Jiang Huai didn't leave. Ye Lingshuang stared at the sprinting Qin Wentian as she silently mused, "What a strong adaptability, to be able to run at such a speed."
When Qin Wentian first stepped into the Gravity Mountain Canyon, even walking was difficult. The gravity here was simply too terrifying. Only after an entire month did he slowly get used to it. Now, he could rely on his own will and strength to run, unceasingly surpassing his own limits.
At this moment, Qin Wentian walked to the side of a huge black boulder as he mumbled in a low voice, "I wonder how heavy this boulder is."
Qin Wentian circulated the Astral Energy in his body as he infused his will into his arms. With a sudden burst of strength, rumbling sounds rang out as Qin Wentian lifted up a gigantic boulder. However, an instant later, a terrifying rumbling sound echoed out as the earth cracked apart. The gigantic boulder landed on the ground as Qin Wentian collapsed onto the ground, panting for breath.
"This boulder is only five thousand Jin, but that's in other places. The gravity here is a thousand times stronger." Qin Wentian lamented in his heart. He couldn't even lift a single stone. Helplessly, he walked towards the direction of the forest, picked up the axe beside him, and chopped at the ancient tree. However, he discovered that the ancient tree only had a layer of skin broken. He couldn't help but lament in his heart. Although his strength was now very limited, this ancient tree was a bit too sturdy.
Turning his head back, he glanced at the row of gigantic boulders. There seemed to be some smaller boulders as well. Walking over, he carried the smaller boulder in his arms and started to walk forward with great difficulty. Every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground, as though he had sunk into the ground.
"So heavy." Qin Wentian felt extremely depressed, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere. After walking over ten steps, his entire body was already drenched in sweat, but he still gritted his teeth. This tempering exercise in the Mountain of Gravity allowed him to find the feeling he had when he first stepped on the path of cultivation. The most primitive feeling, constantly breaking through his limits, squeezing out all the power of his body, causing it to grow stronger.
During this month, he gradually got used to the terrifying gravity. This in itself was already a huge improvement.
Qin Wentian silently tempered himself in the Mountain of Gravity. Occasionally, he would see others entering the Mountain of Gravity to temper themselves. Three months later, he was finally able to lift a boulder, and at the same time, he wielded his axe, chopping down ancient trees.
Every month, Liu Yun and Ye Lingshuang would come to visit him.
…
Today, Qin Wentian was chopping trees again. Right now, every chop of his axe was extremely effortless, as though it was a habit. He tried to infuse his will of Mandates into the axe, and every chop he chopped down would have a slight improvement. As time passed, this improvement would be magnified, allowing him to chop deeper into the tree.
"This fellow's improvement is so fast." Liu Yun and the others came again. They sat on the roof of the Mountain of Gravity and watched as Qin Wentian chopped down with his axe. Deep cracks actually appeared on the ancient trees, and after tens of chops, an ancient tree collapsed.
This time around, Liu Yun didn't leave. He watched as Qin Wentian chopped down trees. Not even a day had passed, and Qin Wentian had already chopped down a hundred trees. However, he didn't give up and continued chopping.
"Don't tell me he's preparing to chop down all the trees in the Mountain of Gravity? The elders in charge of planting trees would definitely feel heartache," Liu Yun mumbled. Liu Yun mumbled. Every single tree here was like a seed, it would allow the ancient trees to grow rapidly, allowing the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect to chop them down.
"Why is it getting weaker and weaker? Why does it take so long to chop down a single tree?" Liu Yun furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"He's not using his will of Mandates, he's using pure strength to chop down the trees." Ye Lingshuang spoke, her words causing Liu Yun to blink.
"Ye Lingshuang." At this moment, a voice drifted over from afar. Ye Lingshuang turned her head only to see a silhouette walking over, causing a strange expression to appear on Ye Lingshuang's face. This was the disciple in charge of transmitting messages from the Battle Sword Sect. What happened?
"Here's your letter." The other party passed a letter to Ye Lingshuang. Ye Lingshuang opened it and instantly felt her entire body turning cold. Her countenance turned ashen.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong?" Liu Yun asked seriously when he saw the expression on Ye Lingshuang's face.
"My father is heavily injured, his life is in danger." Ye Lingshuang spoke, her words causing Liu Yun's heart to tremble. He knew who Ye Lingshuang was. She was a princess of an ancient country, and her father was the Emperor of a generation.
This ancient country had existed for over ten thousand years and was extremely powerful. The internal conflicts were extremely complicated, and Liu Yun faintly knew a little about it.
"Did the Violet Thunder Sect interfere?" Liu Yun asked.
"I don't know." Ye Lingshuang's countenance was still pale. Liu Yun spoke again, "Let's report this to Master and see if there's a solution. There are also medical experts in the Battle Sword Sect."
Ye Lingshuang placed the letter down as she replied in a low voice, "We've already invited the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley."
Liu Yun's eyes flashed with sharpness as he continued, "The newly promoted Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley has already broken through to a fifth-ranked pill king not too long ago. Not only that, she has also obtained the true inheritance of the Medicine Sovereign. In the current younger generation of the Royal Sacred Region, she can be considered a legendary character. Since we've already invited her, there shouldn't be any problems."
The Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley was also a legendary character. It was said that back then when she was sent into the Medicine Sovereign Valley, she was on the verge of death. However, the identity of the person who sent her into the Medicine Sovereign Valley was unknown, and the Medicine Sovereign actually personally acted to save her. Not only that, the Medicine Sovereign used all of his effort to cleanse her marrows and reconstruct her life force. After that, he even imparted all of his knowledge to her, causing this Holy Maiden to soar up like a shooting star.
Even the true name of the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley was unknown.
"They won't give up so easily." Ye Lingshuang's heart was in a mess, yet she didn't have the time to think too much. Right now, she didn't know what to do.
"Let's look for senior brother and let him think of a solution. Let's go." Liu Yun knew that right now, Ye Lingshuang's heart was in a mess. He instantly made his decision and brought Ye Lingshuang away.
Ye Lingshuang's heart was still filled with sorrow. A heaven-shaking genius had appeared in the ancient country. From then on, the internal factions of the ancient country grew even more divided.
Her elder brother, who was slightly older than her, had outstanding talent and was able to enter the Violet Thunder Sect. He didn't even need to pass the examination and was directly sent to the Royal Sacred Sect. This was the promise of the Violet Thunder Sect. And now, what level had he grown to?
All of this, Qin Wentian had no idea. He was still chopping trees, and when he was tired, he would take a break before continuing to move the huge boulders.
Right now, he was more than willing to do these things, and was extremely optimistic. Occasionally, he would gain some insights and practice his axe on the huge boulder, or brandish his heavenly hammer. Such days passed by extremely contentedly. Although his cultivation base didn't increase, he wasn't in a rush either. When the time comes, success will come naturally. Only with a solid foundation would one's combat prowess grow stronger.
Another two days passed. Qin Wentian lay comfortably on the huge boulder. The sunlight cascaded down on him, illuminating the contours of his body. That was the beauty of strength. Right now, the terrifying gravitational force in the canyon gradually faded away. He knew that he was currently undergoing a baptism, and his physique was much stronger compared to before.
"Junior Brother Qin." A voice interrupted Qin Wentian's beautiful dream. Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Shuai standing on top of the canyon.
"Senior Brother." Qin Wentian sat up as he stared at Lin Shuai.
"What's wrong? The entire forest has been chopped down by you, yet you still don't want to come out?" Lin Shuai glanced at the forest as his heart shuddered. This fellow was truly powerful, to think that he could adapt so quickly and even chop down the entire forest.
Qin Wentian smiled. After which, he stomped on the ground and soared up into the air, landing at the edge of the canyon. At this instant, without the powerful gravitational force, Qin Wentian felt as though his entire body was as light as a feather. Such a feeling was simply too wonderful.
"Senior Brother, why are you so free to come over?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"Let me tell you something. Your Senior Sister Ye Lingshuang is the princess of an ancient country with a history of over ten thousand years. However, there are a few powerful kings in the Ye Country. In addition, Ye Lingshuang has a cousin who is around the same age as her and is a descendant of a king. His talent is unparalleled and he joined the Violet Thunder Sect, causing the Ye Clan's struggle for the throne to be extremely intense."
Lin Shuai slowly explained, his words causing Qin Wentian's expression to stiffen as he instantly understood. The kings of ancient countries were extremely powerful and they even had the support of the Violet Thunder Sect. Most probably, they wanted to seize the throne.
"The Ye Country itself is extremely powerful. Initially, my Battle Sword Sect and the Violet Thunder Sect shouldn't be involved in their internal strife. But because of some special reasons, the Violet Thunder Sect is involved in this. Ye Lingshuang's father, a Human Emperor, is currently heavily injured and on the verge of death. Hence, the Ye Country invited the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley to act."
Lin Shuai continued as he turned and walked away. Qin Wentian followed behind Lin Shuai, not saying anything. Since Lin Shuai came here to tell him this, there must be a reason behind it.
"Lingshuang wishes to return immediately, but I'm worried that something might happen to her. Hence, I stopped her. After all, with her current strength, there's no use for her to return. In fact, she might even be plotted against. At the same time, I've also sent people to investigate the situation in the Ye Country. Now that the situation is extremely urgent, my Battle Sword Sect is preparing to send some disciples to the capital of the Ye Country.
Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. Although he wouldn't be able to change anything with his current cultivation base, since Lin Shuai said this, it was obvious that he hoped for him to go out and roam the world, tempering himself.
An instant later, Qin Wentian saw a group of silhouettes preparing to set off. It was none other than Ye Lingshuang and her companions.
"If you guys are together, no one would dare to plot against Lingshuang. Also, Junior Brother Qin, you have to remember an unwritten rule. In the Royal Sacred Region, there are many conflicts between the transcendent powers. Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns can't interfere in the matters of Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, but if a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign dies because of a conflict between disciples, Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants are forbidden from taking revenge. If not, a war would easily erupt."
Lin Shuai spoke, his words causing Qin Wentian's expression to stiffen. He had once experienced the conflict between the transcendent powers of Grand Xia. Once a conflict broke out between the upper echelons of Grand Xia, it would basically be a war between sects. Only when one side was annihilated would the conflict cease. Most probably, the transcendent powers of the Royal Sacred Region also feared war between sects, which was why there was such an unwritten rule.
