Long Yu soon learned that the Nightmare Mountain Range was the largest mining area in the Shura County. A legion of the Shura County King's subordinates was stationed in the Nightmare Mountain Range, and they were in charge of a large-scale mining team that mined minerals in the Nightmare Mountain Range.
The Nightmare Mountain Range was an extremely rich spiritual vein, and had always been a place of contention between the Shura County and the neighboring Ghost Evil County. Both sides occupied half of it, and the two sides maintained a balance.
The minerals mined from the Nightmare Mountain Range could at least be refined into a Profound Grade Soldier, and materials for refining an Earth Grade Soldier also frequently appeared there.
There was even a possibility of rare materials for refining a Heaven Grade Soldier. It should be noted that even for Martial Cultivators at the level of Shura County King and Tian Xinghe, a Heaven Grade Soldier was not something that could be easily obtained.
Although Long Yu had the Desolation Grade Ancient Dragon Bone Tower and the Ancient Grade Soldier, the Void Spirit Dragon Blade, who would complain about having too many Soldiers?
Little fatty Ren Pingfan was very happy that Shu Chan had sent him and Long Yu to the Nightmare Mountain Range.
It was said that the Nightmare Mountain Range had recently produced several rare materials that could be used to refine Heaven Grade Soldiers, which surprised the people of the Shura Valley.
Ren Pingfan was sent by Shu Chan to the legion of the Shura County King as a Guest Military Advisor. As a powerful Martial Cultivator with two Divine Abilities, Ren Pingfan was equivalent to the deputy commanders of the legion. Of course, it was not a problem for him to be a Guest Military Advisor.
Of course, the most important task that Shu Chan had given Ren Pingfan was to protect Long Yu in the Nightmare Mountain Range.
Because they had to conceal themselves, no one would know that the two of them were going to the Nightmare Mountain Range, and their identities would also be changed.
As for Long Yu, he still chose the name "Mountain Ghost", and was sent by Shu Chan to the mining team of the legion.
Long Yu mainly focused on cultivation. If he were to sneak into the mining team, not only would he be able to conceal himself to the greatest extent, but he might also be able to obtain something in the Nightmare Mountain Range, such as rare ores for refining Heaven Grade Soldiers.
Shu Chan could ask her father to try to help Long Yu break into the Heavenly Mandate Island's Heavenly Prison Thunder Pool to find his father, Long Zaitian.
"Now, all of you should leave immediately. The Nightmare Mountain Range isn't close, and it would take at least half a month to get there by flying …"
As Shu Chan spoke, she took out a small spirit boat from her bosom. With a thought, she immediately enlarged it. "This Asura Spirit Boat is a treasure that I recently obtained. I'll leave it to you. Remember to come back in three months."
"Yes, Princess."
Little fatty Ren Pingfan grinned as he took the Asura Spirit Ship with a wretched expression and said, "What a great ship! An Asura Spirit Ship, a Heaven Grade Upper Tier Combat Weapon! You only need to use a small amount of Xuan Qi to drive it, and it can fly a few times faster than a Divine Ability Secret Realm martial cultivator!"
"In this way, you should be able to reach the Nightmare Mountain Range in three days."
Shu Chan smiled slightly. "Long Yu, cultivate well. In three months, I still need you to accompany me to participate in the Shura Selection."
"Yes."
Long Yu nodded. The Shura Selection should be a great selection that was held once every 20 years. He didn't know what he would encounter, but it didn't make him too confused.
When the time came, Shu Chan would tell him. During this time, all he needed to do was to quickly improve his cultivation. It would be best if he could go through two Inner Tribulations within the next three months and directly step into the Heavenly Beginning Realm …
Long Yu still had the Renhuan Golden Elixir to increase the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth needed to improve his cultivation, so there was no need to worry. As long as he could go through the remaining two Inner Tribulations, he could directly step into the Heavenly Beginning Realm.
At that time, with all the skills that Long Yu had now, he wouldn't be afraid of most Divine Tribulation Realm martial cultivators.
"Little brother Long, let's go."
Shu Chan left after explaining these matters. Little fatty Ren Pingfan activated the Asura Spirit Boat and invited Long Yu to board.
Along the way, Ren Pingfan told Long Yu some specific things, such as the army in the Nightmare Mountain Range, the mining team, and the situation in the neighboring Ghost Evil Prefecture.
…
The Asura Spirit Boat was indeed three to four times faster than a martial cultivator in the Divine Ability Secret Realm. It allowed Long Yu to thoroughly experience what it felt like to be as fast as lightning.
Sitting in this small Asura Spirit Boat and watching the clouds recede outside the spirit boat, it was quite a fascinating experience.
When could a martial cultivator reach this speed by flying in the air? That would be awesome.
It would take three days to reach the Nightmare Mountain Range.
During this time, Long Yu had a good understanding of the situation in the Nightmare Mountain Range.
The mines in the Nightmare Mountain Range were extremely precious. Not only was the Asura Prefecture and the Ghost Evil Prefecture fighting over them, but even the Tianqin Dynasty would send envoys over every year to take away some rare and precious mines.
Because it was under the rule of the Tianqin Dynasty, the Asura Prefecture had no choice but to hand over those rare and precious mines. Apart from that, the Asura Prefecture could also obtain a considerable amount of mines from the Nightmare Mountain Range every year.
The army commander stationed in the Nightmare Mountain Range was an old general. He was already over a hundred years old and had already entered the Seven Divine Abilities Secret Realm. He was just one step away from the Emperor Path Secret Realm.
Unfortunately, this step wasn't something he could take as he wished. He had been stuck at the old general's throat for more than 20 years.
The old general was the Asura Prefecture's trusted subordinate. His name was Huo Yuanbai, and he had always doted on the princess, Shu Chan. This time, the two of them had brought Shu Chan's letter to the Nightmare Mountain Range to conceal their identities. Huo Yuanbai would naturally help.
"There are still frequent battles in the Nightmare Mountain Range, and the opponents are naturally the cultivators of the Ghost Evil Prefecture."
Little Fatty Ren Pingfan continued, "The Martial Skills, Martial Techniques, and Laws of the Heavens and Earth that the cultivators of the Ghost Evil County practice are quite strange, making them difficult to deal with. If we were to bump into them, we should call for reinforcements as soon as possible."
"Mm."
Long Yu nodded.
The Ghost Evil Prefecture was a force on the same level as the Asura Prefecture. If Long Yu met the cultivators of the Ghost Evil Prefecture alone, he naturally wouldn't choose to fight them head-on.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Long Yu had no understanding of the cultivators of the Ghost Evil Prefecture, so it would be unwise to act rashly.
"Now, the Nightmare Mountain Range that the Asura Prefecture belongs to is divided into three mining areas: the Sun Mining Area, the Moon Mining Area, and the Star Mining Area. According to the ranking of Sun, Moon, and Star, the Sun Mining Area is most likely to have rare and precious ores, while the Star Mining Area usually produces inferior ores.
Ren Pingfan said, "The Princess has arranged for you to go to the Sun Mining Area. You can pay more attention to the Sun Mining Area. If you can find some precious ores, you can give them to the Princess. The Princess will be very happy."
Long Yu was not interested in ores.
However, the people of the Asura County seemed to be very interested in the ores produced by the Devil Nightmare Mountain Range. Long Yu thought that if he could obtain enough ores, he might be able to attract the attention of the Asura Duke and obtain a favorable impression.
Although Long Yu had come to the outside world, he was still thinking about the people on the Heavenly Mandate Island, as well as Long Zaitian, who had entered the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool more than 20 years ago.
Shu Chan had said that the cultivators of the Secret Realm did not dare to enter the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool easily. So if Long Yu wanted to know the situation in the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool quickly, he could only rely on Shu Chan's father.
Although Long Yu had not met the Asura Prefecture's Prince, from what Shu Chan had said, Long Yu could feel that the Asura Prefecture's Prince was not an unreasonable person. He should be relatively easy to talk to.
The Asura Spirit Boat flew across the sky at an extremely fast speed. Along the way, Long Yu saw many floating islands similar to the Heavenly Mandate Island from afar. He did not know what kind of power made these islands float in the sky for so long.
Every floating island was about the same size as the Heavenly Mandate Island. They had existed in the sky since ancient times and were surrounded by thousands of layers of Heavenly Spirit. Once martial arts practitioners who had not entered the Secret Realm approached them, they would be easily swept away by the Heavenly Spirit Whirlpool, leaving nothing behind.
Inside these floating islands was a world of martial arts like the Heavenly Mandate Continent. One could imagine how vast the territory of the Asura Prefecture was.
Now that Long Yu had entered the Human Tribulation Realm, he could travel hundreds of feet in an instant. However, if he wanted to travel across the entire Asura Prefecture, it would take him at least a month.
Without something like the Asura Spirit Boat, it would take Long Yu one or two months to go back and forth from the Nightmare Mountain Range …
"Don't the martial arts practitioners on these floating islands know about the existence of the Asura Prefecture outside?"
Long Yu watched as he passed by another floating island. Even though it was hundreds of thousands of feet away, he could still clearly feel the magnificence of the island. He could not help but ask Ren Pingfan.
"Hmm, probably."
Ren Pingfan squinted his eyes and said, "I grew up in the Asura Valley. When I showed my talent in martial arts, I was taken in as a subordinate by the Commandery Princess, so I have never been to these islands. It is said that the martial arts practitioners on these floating islands do not have enough cultivation resources. Very few of them can enter the Secret Realm."
"Indeed."
Long Yu agreed with him and said, "I came from one of the floating islands."
"Haha, no wonder."
Ren Pingfan laughed and said, "Little Brother Long, you are very talented, but you are still too weak to enter the Human Tribulation Realm at such a young age. I was a little surprised that you came from these islands … Without enough cultivation resources, no matter how talented you are, it is useless. Alas!"
Speaking of this, Ren Pingfan's expression was a little gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
Long Yu paid a little attention, but he did not ask anything. After all, everyone had their own difficulties, and few people wanted others to know about them. If Long Yu asked, it would not be nice.
As the Asura Spirit Boat traveled as fast as lightning, it cut through the sky unimpeded all the way. Finally, after three days, it approached a boundless mountain range.
