Time to climb the mountain!
Even though time was tight, they still went through with the ceremony.
Ye Tianze decided to take things one step at a time. Just as they were about to climb the mountain, something strange happened.
Their surroundings suddenly changed. The originally clear mountain path was now covered in fog. At first, they didn't feel anything, but as the fog grew thicker, their visibility became lower and lower.
They were all cultivators, so they could see very far. It was impossible for the fog to block their vision.
Mountainsea Night immediately ordered all the cultivators to stop climbing the mountain and to gather as close to each other as possible. Then, he counted the number of people.
"Sacred Leader, this fog is strange. It seems that this mountain climb is not as simple as we thought it would be!" Mountainsea Night said.
Before Ye Tianze could say anything, a familiar voice rang out from off in the distance. "Of course it won't be that simple. After all, if you become the Lord of the Mountains and Seas, you'll be able to acquire a precious treasure. Furthermore, that precious treasure contains the secrets of the Lord of Pāramitā!"
Mountainsea Night frowned. The owner of the voice was the Raven Clan member they had just sent away. A few cultivators from Taihai Valley were about to chase after him when Ye Tianze stopped them.
"There's no need to chase after him. Climbing the mountain is more important. Also … be careful of the fog. It seems to have a special power!"
Ye Tianze said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators around him suddenly showed signs of abnormality. Their expressions were extremely ugly, and their eyes were unfocused. They looked exhausted.
"The circulation of our primary energy has slowed down. Our qi and blood seem to be … as if we've been hypnotized. We can't use our strength."
Not far away, Shan Haiwei was trembling all over. He kept urging his primary energy to resist the fatigue, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Even standing was becoming difficult.
At first, only the cultivators of the Limitless Path felt this way. However, as time passed, even the Heavenly Path cultivators like Mountainsea Night felt this way.
"Open the World of Laws!" Mountainsea Night said. "Everyone, gather in our World of Laws!"
Lone Night of the Mountains and Seas immediately opened his World of Laws and included all the cultivators at the scene.
At the same time, the other Heavenly Dao cultivators immediately opened the World of Laws, and the fog was immediately expelled from the World of Laws.
However, the cultivators who were corroded by the fog did not recover. The only thing they were thankful for was that their bodies did not deteriorate further.
After the 31 Heavenly Dao rank cultivators opened the World of Laws, they immediately began to count the number of people present.
However, if they didn't count, they wouldn't have known. Once they did, they discovered that a dozen or so of their clansmen were missing. Lone Night of the Mountains and Seas and the others all frowned.
"What the hell is going on? How dare you capture our people!" A Heavenly Dao cultivator roared into the fog, "Let me catch you! Even if you are a subordinate of the Human Emperor, I will still skin you alive!"
The raven no longer made another sound, but before the first wave had subsided, another wave rose. At first, they had opened their World of Laws and were able to resist the erosion of the fog.
However, as time passed, all the Heavenly Dao cultivators discovered that they needed to expend several times more origin energy to maintain the World of Laws. This was no less than a high-intensity battle.
Mountainsea Night was at his wit's end. Although they had brought a lot of resources and supplies when they came, if this continued, most of these resources would be consumed before they could reach the top of the mountain.
Wuliang Mountain was very high. In order to maintain the World of Laws, they were not allowed to fly. Furthermore, they had to bring so many Limitless Dao cultivators with them.
Moreover, where did those fellows who had disappeared go?
Had they been captured or lost in the fog? What was the use of this fog? What was the Human Emperor up to?
At this moment, Mountainsea Night looked at Ye Tianze. Before they came, Valley Master Mountainsea Yifan had said that they could ask Mountain Sea Lake if they encountered any problems.
The Mountain Sea Marsh was none other than Ye Tianze, and also their Holy Lord.
After the battle with Mu Haigu, although they did not dare to agree with Ye Tianze's methods, they were relieved to have such a person by their side.
At least when it came to dealing with those sinister traps, Ye Tianze would definitely have a way to deal with them.
"Sacred Master, what should we do now?" Mountainsea Night asked. Although he knew Wuliang Mountain very well, he was only following the map.
Now that all the rules had changed, and there was also the fog, it was equivalent to overturning all the homework he had done before. The help he could get was very little.
Ye Tianze was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses. He had been thinking about the raven's words. Was it for him?
This treasure was related to the Nirvana Lord, and it was a supreme treasure. It was very likely that it was the Portrait of All Beings.
Only in the Portrait of All Beings could one obtain the inheritance of the Nirvana Lord. After all, it was drawn by the Nirvana Lord himself, and there were many arrangements in it. It was only when Ye Tianze had reached his current level of cultivation that he realized this, but he had to get the Portrait of All Beings.
Moreover, his goal was actually to enter the Portrait of All Beings.
But when he thought about the situation before him, Raven did not explain it clearly, and only said it vaguely so that he could guess.
This might be a kind of temptation to make him lower his guard. If that was really the case, then it was very likely that this was a trap set for him.
"They deliberately leaked the news of the Death Lord's appearance in Skysea Valley to make me lower my guard. They want to take me down in Wuliang Mountain? No … "
Ye Tianze's heart trembled as he thought of a possibility. He looked at Mountainsea Night in front of him. "Could it be … they want to …"
For a moment, Ye Tianze wanted to go down the mountain, but when he thought about his purpose of coming here, and the treasure related to the Nirvana Lord that Raven mentioned, he immediately dismissed the idea.
"Why do you look so pale?" Mountainsea Night said. "Could it be that you were also attacked by the fog?"
"Some." Ye Tianze did not bat an eyelid. He glanced at them and said, "You guys wait here for a while. I'll go out and look for those guys who went missing."
Hearing this, Mountainsea Night immediately stopped him and said, "No, we should go. Although your cultivation is not bad, you can't continue to fight against those in the Heavenly Dao Realm. We …"
"Listen to me." Ye Tianze said, "I've said it before. You have to trust me. Don't worry, I'll definitely find those missing people. Moreover, I'm now also a member of the Shanhai Clan, and also a member of Taihai Valley. Unless you continue to treat me as an outsider."
Mountainsea Night laughed bitterly. He could not refuse and could only nod in agreement. He said, "If you encounter any danger, you must return immediately. We'll wait for you here."
"No, you guys go up the mountain first and find them. I'll catch up with you. Don't let anyone leave your Precept Realm. Finally, connect the Precept Realm without any scruples. If you encounter anyone who intrudes, just kill them!"
Ye Tianze said. "I don't care who it is, I'm no exception!"
Mountainsea Night did not dare to believe it, but Ye Tianze's serious expression told him that there would be a lot of variables in this Mountain Sea Lord election.
