Looking at the sky, Thunder Freer continued, "I reached the peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm when I was forty-six, and reached the Astral Reaching Realm when I was fifty-six. After that, I only managed to reach the peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm from the Early Astral Reaching Realm. Without any surprises, the martial arts that are suitable for Astral Reaching Realm warriors should be high-rank Earth Realm or even top-rank Earth Realm martial arts, while the ones suitable for Seas of Souls Realm warriors should be Heaven Realm martial arts. If you can't even reach this basic requirement, you will be left behind by other warriors with the same level of talent. Ye Chen, you can give away everything except the martial arts. A good martial art can save you a lot of time. For example, if you have a high-rank Earth Realm martial art, it would only take you seven to eight years to reach the Astral Reaching Realm from the peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm. If you have a top-rank Earth Realm martial art, it would only take you five to six years, and a low-rank Heaven Realm martial art would take you two to three years. It will be the foundation for you to become a powerful warrior. When you give it to someone else, you are giving the opportunity to become a powerful warrior to them. You have to remember this. "
"I know. Thank you senior Thunder Freer for reminding me."
Before, although Ye Chen knew about the effects of martial arts, he did not know much about them. Right now, after hearing Thunder Freer's words, he finally realized that there was a huge difference between having a high-level martial art and not having a high-level martial art. Taking one step forward, one step backward, one step further, one step further, one step further.
"Alright, I have said everything I need to say. From now on, you will have to rely on yourself. Whether you can become a powerful warrior or not, no one can help you. Before you leave the Windy Nation, I will be watching you from above. You can take care of the small problems yourself." Thunder Freer appreciated Ye Chen, which was why he reminded him. If it were someone else, he would not have bothered to talk to him.
Swoosh!
Thunder Freer's body shone with a bright thunder light as he flew into the sky within a second.
Letting out a deep breath, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'I am still far from enough!'
…
Passing through the Devil Grassland, what appeared in front of Ye Chen's eyes was a vast river, called the Wild Goose Falling River. This river was the natural border between the Windy Nation and the Thousand Thread Nation.
"It is said that even wild geese cannot fly across the Wild Goose Falling River. They will fall into the river midway. I wonder if that is true?" Ye Chen frowned as information about the Wild Goose Falling River appeared in his mind.
Once a martial artist reached the Early Clasping Yuan Realm, he or she would be able to fly in the air, but it was not unlimited. Once he or she used up all of his Zhen Qi, he or she would still have to find a foothold. Only Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists would be able to fly for a long time.
Apart from that, Early Clasping Yuan Realm warriors could not fly very high, only around one thousand meters. Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors could fly up to two thousand meters, and Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors could reach up to three thousand meters. If one became an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, he could even reach tens of thousands of meters in the air.
With Ye Chen's cultivation, he could only fly to a height of a thousand meters. He couldn't compare to the wild geese, so he probably couldn't fly over the Wild Goose Falling River.
"Let's try it out first."
There were hardly any signs of human habitation here, and since he couldn't find a ferry, he could only rely on himself.
Whoosh!
Extending his body, Ye Chen flew above the river and flew into the distance.
After flying for about ten miles, the airflow in the surroundings suddenly became chaotic, forming swirls of airflow, which consumed Ye Chen's Zhen Qi.
After punching through the swirls of airflow, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'No wonder the wild geese couldn't fly over. The airflow above the Wild Goose Falling River was abnormal. Not to mention normal birds, even ordinary flying demonic beasts would be exhausted by the airflow and fall from the sky.'
More and more swirls of airflow appeared. In the end, there were even tornadoes, waterspouts and other natural phenomena. Many flying beasts that passed by fell into the river, and no one knew if they were still alive or not.
"Break!"
Boosted up his Zhen Qi, Ye Chen punched out and shattered the waterspout that was coming towards him. The aftershock of the punch shook the surrounding space, and then everything went back to normal.
"I can't go on any longer. I've used up too much Zhen Qi, and my Zhen Qi is starting to get dirty. I have to go down." After throwing out this punch, the murky Qi inside Ye Chen's body had increased dramatically, which was a sign that his Zhen Qi was in chaos. If he stayed in the air any longer, his Zhen Qi would flow in reverse, which would hurt his meridians. After all, he was not a Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist yet, and could not stay in the air for a long time. During the flight, he had to use his Zhen Qi to shatter the obstacles from time to time.
His body floated down to the ground. Ye Chen touched his storage ring with his right hand and took out a waist-thick tree trunk. He then dropped it into the river.
Splash!
The tree trunk floated on the water, and Ye Chen stepped on it with his feet.
He scanned the area with his soul power and found no danger. Ye Chen adjusted his breathing for a while, then activated his Zhen Qi and formed a power source behind the tree trunk.
A strong wind blew over, and the water on both sides of the river flowed backward quickly.
When encountering a tornado or waterspout, Ye Chen only needed to punch out and solve the problem completely. When encountering a demonic beast under the water, he only needed to stomp on the ground, and his pure Mysterious Zhen Qi would spread out, covering an area with a radius of tens of meters. Occasionally, one or two rank 5 demonic beasts would be cut in half by his sword, and their blood dyed the surface of the river red.
"Fortunately, I have the pellets that can instantly replenish my Zhen Qi. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to cross the Wild Goose Falling River." Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists were extremely fast. If they used their flying art, they could cover two to three thousand miles in two hours. However, no Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists used their Zhen Qi every day, because the Zhen Qi of a Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist could not last for more than a couple of hours. Once their Zhen Qi ran out, it would not only hurt their bodies, but also put them in great danger. However, using the tree trunk to cross the Wild Goose Falling River would consume a lot more Zhen Qi than using flying art. Because flying art was a skill, it could already save a lot of Zhen Qi. However, forming the power source of Zhen Qi behind the tree trunk did not require a lot of skill. Most of the Zhen Qi used was brute force. Besides, the resistance in the water was greater than that in the air, which increased the consumption of Zhen Qi.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had obtained a calabash of medicinal pellets from the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region, which contained hundreds of them. Normally, he would not be willing to use them when he was traveling, but at this moment, it was understandable for him to use one or two of them.
The Wild Goose Falling River was not an ocean, no matter how wide it was, it still had a bottom line. After traveling for about seven to eight hundred miles, Ye Chen finally saw the other side of the river.
Looking at the river bank and the towering mountains, which were also rarely seen by people, Ye Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "It seems that this part of the road I chose is a bit remote, and there are not many people around. That's good, I want to train myself anyway, so I can go anywhere. I don't need to worry too much."
Bang!
The tree trunk hit the river bank, and Ye Chen jumped up into the air.
Opening the map, Ye Chen pointed out the location of the mountains and said to himself, "There are three mountains on the other side of the Wild Goose Falling River, two small ones, and one big one. If I am not mistaken, this mountain should be the biggest one, called the Five Poison Mountain. It is about the same size as the Silent Hills, it is also thousands of miles wide. Most of the demonic beasts in this mountain are highly poisonous, and the Five Poison Beasts are the most famous."
The Five Poison Beasts were snakes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, and toads. These five poisons were the demonic beasts, and they were even more poisonous. Normal Condensing Reality Realm warriors would definitely die if they touched them. Therefore, Ye Chen had to bring some high-level antidotes with him in case he was poisoned.
Putting away the map, Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. 'Thunder Freer should have left already.' From now on, he would have to rely on himself. No matter how dangerous it would be, he would have to survive. Only by surviving could he become a powerful warrior.
In the future, he would be surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If he did not want to become one of them, then he would have to walk through it and reach the top step by step.
His body flashed, Ye Chen headed towards the Five Poison Mountain.
…
Swoosh!
The sword light flashed, and a flying vampire bat was cut in half by Ye Chen's sword. Its corpse was as big as a wild dog, with sharp fangs.
"The Five Poison Mountain is indeed the Five Poison Mountain. On the way here, more than seventy percent of the demonic beasts were poisonous." Putting the Dragon Spring Sword back into its sheath, Ye Chen put a miasma dispelling pellet in his mouth. There were many places in the Five Poison Mountain that were filled with miasma. It would be fine if the miasma was only for a short period of time, but after a long period of time, it would cause all kinds of symptoms, which would affect one's fighting power.
Raising his feet, Ye Chen started walking towards the depths of the mountain.
Inside a small valley.
There was a muddy pond in the valley, and next to the pond was an empty, flat land.
At this moment, a group of people had gathered on the flat land. In front of them was a house-sized, gigantic toad. The toad's body was colorful, and every single one of its tumors was as big as a washbasin. It was releasing a highly poisonous demonic Qi, which was spreading everywhere.
"Miss, you go, we'll stop it!" The middle-aged man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, nervously looked at the toad and said to the girl behind him.
The girl's face was pale, but she shook her head firmly, "How can I abandon you and leave? After all, I was the one who came to the Five Poison Mountain."
Hearing this, the good-looking young man next to her said anxiously, "Miss, the Five Colored Toad is a level five demonic beast. Its poisonous Qi will kill anyone who touches it. You won't be able to help even if you stay here. Plus, the leader is still waiting for the Zen Fragrance Grass to save him!"
"Zhengxuan, you don't stay either. Take the young lady and go back together."
The middle-aged man's face flashed with determination, and he ordered the young man to take the young lady away.
"Dad!"
The young man's face was full of pain. One was his father, and the other was the young lady he loved. He did not want to give up on either one.
Shoo!
Right then, the Five Colored Toad attacked. Its ten-meter long tongue curled up, and a guard was sucked into its mouth and swallowed.
"Son of a bitch!"
The middle-aged man held his blade with both of his hands and slashed.
Chin!
The blade Qi barely broke through the Five Colored Toad's defense. Streams of blood fell onto the ground, making a sizzling sound. All of a sudden, an unpleasant smell spread out. Two guards who were standing close to the toad fell onto the ground with white foam coming out of their mouths, dead.
"The blood is poisonous as well?" A human figure appeared above the entrance of the valley. He saw this scene and thought to himself.
It was indeed Ye Chen. After a couple of hours of traveling, he had already passed through the edge of the Five Poison Mountain. Luckily, he did not run into any powerful demonic beasts. The real powerful demonic beasts should be deep in the center of the mountain, and were not likely to come out.
Shoo!
The Five Colored Toad's tongue was long and thin. It was so fast that it could not be seen by the naked eye. This time, it had already pierced through the chests of two guards, and was heading towards the girl in the middle of the crowd.
"Piss off!" The young man barely managed to raise his long sword horizontally in front of the girl, trying to cut off the toad's tongue.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he could not compete with the toad's tongue. The long and thin tongue curled up and wrapped around his arm, dragging him towards the girl.
The middle-aged man was a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior after all. Seeing that his son was entangled, he wanted to help. But just as he raised his long blade, a cloud of poisonous Qi suddenly sprayed onto his body.
Boom!
The protective Zhen Qi started to twist intensely, and the middle-aged man's body was blown away.
Without the middle-aged man's help, the two guards who had been pierced through by the toad's tongue were dragged into the air along with the young man, falling towards the Five Colored Toad's huge mouth.
Shoo!
The sword Qi flashed across, and the Five Colored Toad's tongue was cut off.
