"Mount Fangzhang … Could this be the legendary Mount Fangzhang …" A woman stood on the back of a huge sea turtle as she stared straight ahead. Her voice was trembling.
Not far in front of the sea turtle was an island with a mountain on it.
The island and mountain didn't look very big, but for some reason, they couldn't see the top of the mountain. The mountain pierced into the clouds as though it had no end.
The sea turtle quickly approached the island. The woman jumped off the sea turtle's back and happily climbed up the mountain.
The woman wasn't old, at most seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked rather delicate and pretty. At that moment, she was climbing up the mountain with her hands and feet.
Mount Fangzhang was one of the legendary three immortal mountains. Back then, Emperor Qin had sent people out to sea to search for the Elixir of Immortality. Their main target was Mount Fangzhang.
Among the three immortal mountains overseas, it was said that immortal herbs and spirit herbs were everywhere on Mount Penglai. However, why wasn't Mount Penglai the main target of the Qin Emperor, but Mount Fangzhang, which wasn't famous for immortal herbs and spirit herbs?
That was because legend had it that the top of Mount Fangzhang was where immortals lived. Furthermore, the word "Fangzhang" didn't refer to monks, but to pill chambers.
Therefore, Emperor Qin didn't want the Elixir of Immortality from Mount Penglai, but the finished pills refined by immortals.
If one didn't eat the right immortal herbs and spirit herbs, they might even die, much less live forever. If one really wanted to live forever, they had to obtain pills refined by immortals.
Ji Moqing was only seventeen this year. She was in her youth and wasn't at the age to worry about longevity.
The reason she had come to Mount Fangzhang wasn't because she had taken the initiative to search for the immortal mountain, much less because she wanted to live forever.
Ji Moqing's appearance here was completely an accident. She was originally from the Federation, but not long ago, she had been captured by an overseas faction. It could be considered a kidnapping.
Thankfully, Ji Moqing was smart and had a Companion Beast that could be used at sea. Furthermore, they saw that she was young and had very low strength, so they weren't too wary of her. She had actually escaped.
Ji Mo Qing now regretted escaping, because she had already been on the sea for nearly half a month. Although no one had caught up to her, she did not know how to sail at all, nor did she know where to go to reach land. Therefore, in the past half a month, Ji Mo Qing had not even drunk a drop of water, and if this continued, she would definitely die of thirst.
She was so excited to see Mount Fangzhang, not because she thought she could find the elixir of immortality, but because she thought she might find water and food here.
However, Ji Moqing was quickly disappointed. The place that was suspected to be the legendary Mount Fang Zhang was bare. There were rocks everywhere. There wasn't even a single weed, much less water.
Ji Moqing did not give up. He wanted to climb to the top of the mountain to see what was going on. Even if there was no water source, if there really was an immortal pill, eating it should be of some use.
However, Ji Moqing climbed for a long time until her hands were bleeding. When she looked up, she still saw an unknown mountain peak. It was as though there was no end to it.
"What kind of lousy mountain is this? I've been climbing for so long. I should have reached the top long ago. Why can't I see the end of it?" Ji Moqing was puzzled, but she knew that it was probably too late for regrets.
Her body no longer allowed her to go to other islands to search for water. Therefore, Ji Moqing could only hope that she could climb to the top of Mount Fang Zhang before she died of thirst. She wanted to see if there was an elixir of immortality at the bottom. Perhaps it could quench her thirst.
Even if there was no elixir of immortality, it would be fine if she could find some water. Ji Moqing's requests weren't high at all.
However, after climbing for a long time, the mountain didn't seem to have a top. No matter how she climbed, she couldn't reach the top.
I can't take it anymore. I really can't climb anymore. I might as well die of thirst. Ji Moqing climbed to a protruding rock and sat on it, panting heavily. She didn't have any strength left.
She also knew that if this was really Mount Fang Zhang, there would definitely be something strange about it. It was impossible for her to easily climb to the top.
Ji Moqing's desire to live was very strong. She had only said those words out of anger. As she sat there resting, her eyes were still sizing up her surroundings, hoping to find a way to climb Mount Fang Zhang.
After watching for a while, Ji Moqing's eyes suddenly lit up as though she had discovered something.
The mountain was extremely steep, and there weren't any obvious protrusions on the mountain wall. Only the spot where she was sitting had a protruding rock. Furthermore, the patterns on the rock were somewhat amiss.
Ji Moqing observed carefully and realized that the protruding rock was no different from the rocks on the mountain wall beside it. She could even confirm that they were of the same texture.
Although the stone was the same, Ji Moqing realized that the patterns on the stone didn't match the patterns on the rocks beside it.
With such a steep mountain wall, if the rock had fractured, it should have quickly fallen. This protruding rock didn't fall, but its patterns don't match the patterns of the nearby rocks. There must be something wrong with this. The more Ji Moqing thought about it, the more she felt that she was right. She seemed to have some strength in her body as she summoned a companion short sword. Then, she grabbed the short sword and used the tip of the sword to dig at the spot where the protruding rock connected to the mountain wall.
The rocks were slowly dug away by her. The rocks didn't seem to be as hard as she imagined, so they were easily dug away by her short sword.
Strange. Even if this isn't Mount Fangzhang, it should be a dimensional zone. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that easy to dig out. After all, this is only a Mortal Companion Beast sword … Ji Moqing thought to herself, but the short sword in her hand didn't stop. She continued digging.
She was just too tired and didn't have much strength left. To be able to last until now was already a strong desire to live.
Clang!
Suddenly, when Ji Moqing dug down with her sword again, the short sword seemed to touch something and snapped with a crack.
On careful look, there was something that looked like a blade in the excavated rock. Her short sword had been cut off by that blade.
I suffered a huge loss. Ji Moqing was somewhat depressed. Although her Companion Beast short sword was only at the Mortal stage, a Mortal Companion Beast was sometimes more expensive than an Epic Companion Beast. This Companion Beast had been bought by her family at a high price, but now, it had snapped just like that.
Ji Moqing touched the blade in the rock and found it extremely cold. It was as though it was made of cold iron, but only a portion of the blade was revealed.
Ji Moqing extended her fingers and carefully pinched the sides of the blade before shaking it. To her surprise, the blade immediately moved.
She carefully shook it as she pulled it out. After a while, she finally pulled out the blade. Ji Moqing immediately realized that it was a saber. A saber with a straight blade. The blade's body was like a cold pool. It looked like it was made of Essence Gold.
