Jianchen said nothing. He continued to stare at the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon. Zhou Chuyun, Liu Jun, and the others did not say anything either. Clearly, they all followed Jianchen's lead.
"Sir Yang Yutian, there are many extremely powerful beasts in the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon. There are even 16th Star beasts. It's extremely dangerous. Since ancient times, there hasn't been a lot of people who have made it through the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon. They all use that tunnel up ahead," explained Zhou Chuyun. He knew that this was the first time Jianchen had come to the divine realm, so he knew nothing about this place.
"If we use that tunnel, roughly how long will it take?" Jianchen asked.
"The tunnel is several tens of thousand kilometers away from us. We don't dare to move too quickly in the divine realm. Coupled with the fact that there will be some obstructions along the way, it'll probably take half a month," Zhou Chuyun analyzed seriously.
"Hehe, warrior, it must be your first time in the divine realm, right? You're actually asking a question like that. If you want to enter the depths of the divine realm, the tunnel up ahead is the only path. No matter how far it is, you have to continue. Even 15th Star experts are no exception. As for making it through the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon, even regular 16th Star experts won't be able to do it unless they possess the strength of hall elders," smiled an old man in the group.
"Everyone, why don't you join our team and face the dangers on the way together? Otherwise, if you travel alone, I'm afraid you'll die on the way before you even get close to the tunnel." The one who spoke was a skinny young man.
"We're already close to the depths of the divine realm. 15th Star beasts will appear frequently. You won't even be able to flee once you run into them, so it's best if you travel with us. Even if we come across 15th Star beasts, we'll be able to fend them off."
Many people in the group asked Jianchen and the others to join them. They could tell with a single glance that the Blue Sky Adventurers possessed several Heaven Saint Masters. An adventurer group like that definitely would not be powerful. Having three 13th Star experts was already quite impressive.
"Sir Yang Yutian, what do you think …" Zhou Chuyun looked at Jianchen and waited for Jianchen to make up his mind.
The people in the group immediately became interested when they saw this. Someone who could make a 13th Star expert follow their lead would definitely be a 14th Star expert. If someone like that were to travel with them, their strength would definitely increase by a lot.
At this moment, many people had already made up their minds to rope in Jianchen and the others.
"That tunnel takes too long. I want to cross the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range." Jianchen said calmly, as if crossing the Crouching Dragon Mountains was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
However, his words were no different from a thunderclap in the ears of the others. They were all dumbfounded as disbelief filled their faces. Even Zhou Chuyun and the others who had a rough understanding of Jianchen's strength felt the same.
Although there had been people who had crossed the Crouching Dragon Mountains before, they were all terrifyingly powerful experts without any exception. There were many hall elders who had reached the peak of the 16th Star among them. They could destroy the world with just a raise of their hand. Did this young man who seemed extremely ordinary possess such strength as well?
At this moment, Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun began to reevaluate Jianchen's strength. Crossing the Crouching Dragon Mountains was not something a 15th Star expert could do.
"Warrior, are you joking? Do you really want to cross the Crouching Dragon Mountains?" Someone asked in disbelief.
Jianchen ignored them and began to make his way toward the Crouching Dragon Mountains. Zhou Chuyun and the others hesitated. In the end, they made up their minds and followed Jianchen into the mountains.
"These people are just asking for death. Do they think they're as powerful as hall elders? I can guarantee that they'll die very soon if they try to cross the Crouching Dragon Mountains," someone snickered.
Jianchen and the people of the Blue Sky Adventurers had already vanished into the depths of the Crouching Dragon Mountains. Before long, a deafening beast's roar broke the silence, shooting into the distance. However, there was no more sound after that. No one knew what had happened inside.
"T- that's the roar of a 15th Star vicious beast. The people who entered the mountains have probably died to the vicious beasts already."
"They don't know their limits. Just how powerful are 15th Star vicious beasts? How can they be their opponents with just the few of them? Look, they've been cut to pieces without even making a single ripple. Not even their corpses remain."
Many people in the group of thirty sneered at the foot of the mountains. There were also some who sighed in pity. A few 13th Star experts who had been glorious outside had died in there just like that.
Several dozen kilometres ahead, the four old men came to a sudden halt. They turned their heads back to look at the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range behind them. The loud roar from the mountain range had naturally alarmed them. Their eyes flickered with uncertainty and surprise.
"Someone has entered the Crouching Dragon Mountains. Is it that young man?" One of the old men said with a heavy voice. He was stern.
"That young man seems ordinary, but he's actually a hidden expert. He's definitely a 15th Star expert."
"The roar came from a 15th Star feral beast. It only had time to roar once before it stopped moving. Has that feral beast been killed?"
"Impossible. How can a 15th Star vicious beast be killed so easily? Probably only 16th Star experts can do something like that. Is that young man a 16th Star expert?"
The four old men discussed with one another. They were all extremely stern as shock and disbelief filled their faces.
Zhou Chuyun, Liu Jun, and the others followed behind Jianchen fearfully in the Crouching Dragon Mountains. Their faces were filled with fear as their legs trembled.
Behind them, the body of a huge ferocious beast was lying in a pile of rocks. Its bright red blood had dyed the ground red.
It was a 15th Star vicious beast. Although its battle prowess was not as great as experts of the same level, it was still an extremely powerful existence. However, Jianchen had cleaved its head in a single stroke, and it only managed to let out a frightened roar before dying.
Killing a 15th Star vicious beast with a single stroke was something that Zhou Chuyun and the others had never even dared to imagine in the past. They had never thought that they would witness it with their own eyes, which left them extremely shocked. It felt like they were dreaming.
Up ahead, Jianchen cleared the way with steady and firm steps with the blood-dripping Emperor Armament. He did not want to waste too much time here. He wanted to pass through the Crouching Dragon Mountains in the shortest amount of time possible, so all the vicious beasts he came across were slain by him with lightning speed.
There were quite a few vicious beasts that lived in the Crouching Dragon Mountains. Most of them were 15th Star vicious beasts. Although they did not have any thoughts of their own, they had basically gained a sliver of intelligence after reaching such a level of strength. They each ruled over a territory.
Jianchen advanced and entered the territories of many powerful vicious beasts. Battles constantly occurred along the way, and the might of the Emperor Armament would erupt from time to time, carving out a bloody path.
In just half a day, Jianchen had killed five 15th Star vicious beasts and over a dozen 14th Star vicious beasts. He obtained two 15th Star thunderstones and several 14th Star thunderstones, which made Zhou Lin and the other Heaven Saint Masters envious.
Jianchen only kept the two 15th Star thunderstones. He tossed all the 14th Star thunderstones to Zhou Chuyun, which made Zhou Chuyun extremely excited.
The 14th Star thunderstones were a tremendous amount of wealth to Zhou Chuyun and the others, but they were useless to Jianchen. Only the 15th Star thunderstones caught his attention.
The divine realm was in an uproar on this day. The continuous roars of vicious beasts rang out from the Crouching Dragon Mountains, alarming countless adventurers in the divine realm and causing quite a stir. Various discussions rang out as well.
Some people said that a king of vicious beasts had been born in the Crouching Dragon Mountains. It was terrifyingly powerful and was currently fighting everywhere to expand its territory. There were also some people who said that a terrifyingly powerful expert was charging into the mountains, which shocked many adventurers.
There was a group of around thirty adventurers walking at the foot of the mountains. None of them seemed to be in a good mood, and they would look back from time to time in surprise and doubt.
They had also heard the roars from several hundred kilometers away, which filled many of them with shock and great unease. They knew that a king of vicious beasts had not been born in the Crouching Dragon Mountains. Instead, a powerful adventurer had barged in.
"That's impossible. They're actually still alive. The roars of the vicious beasts are filled with pain and fear. They're so miserable. They're roars of despair right before death."
"Is that ordinary-looking young man a 15th Star expert?"
"No, he might be a 16th Star expert. There are quite a few roars from the vicious beasts. He's probably killed twenty vicious beasts already, and there are even 15th Star vicious beasts among them."
The people in the group carefully analyzed the situation. They were all shocked. They had never thought that they would have brushed past such an expert. In particular, the people who had mocked Jianchen became uneasy and regretful.
At the same time, nine black-robed people of various ages entered the city on vicious beasts. The patriarch of the Lanshan clan, one of the three great clans in the city, personally received them. He politely invited them into the Lanshan clan.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Lanshan clan humbled himself in a majestic hall within the Lanshan clan. He greeted these people of extraordinary status with a smile.
"Experts from Deorc City, welcome to our Lanshan clan as guests. I already know why you've come. It must be for the divine water of the world," said the patriarch.
"Correct. We have indeed come for the divine water of the world. Patriarch, please tell us about it," a middle-aged man said coldly.
"The traces of the divine water are in the hands of a captain called the Blue Sky Adventurers, but they've already recruited a few experts into the divine realm," said the patriarch.
The nine experts from Deorc City immediately frowned when they heard that.
