Sky Mountain was covered in white snow.
On the mountain path, a group of people kept going up. It was Ye Futian's group. Their speed gradually slowed down. Gradually, they slowed down. The pressure was increasing.
"How much longer until we get there?" Han Lan, the young man from Taixuan Mountain, asked Ye Futian.
They had been on Sky Mountain for a long time, but they still couldn't see the end. It was the same experience as last time. Since Ye Futian's group had been to Sky Mountain before, they should know.
"I don't know. You can't judge how long it takes to get to Sky Mountain. The higher we go, the greater the pressure. The last road is the most difficult," Ye Futian said.
"You seem to be very relaxed." Nan Yu from Nantian House glanced at Ye Futian.
"I've been here many times. Of course, it's easier," Ye Futian said with a smile.
Nan Yu glanced at Ye Futian coldly. There was a hint of evil in his eyes. Affected by the evil thoughts on Sky Mountain, he was a little mad inside.
It wasn't just him. The others were the same. As they continued forward, more and more people couldn't bear the pressure and chose to stop and leave Sky Mountain.
Chu Shang also glanced at Ye Futian. His steps were light and his expression calm. Sky Mountain really didn't affect him much. It wasn't just her. Hua Qingqing was the same. Although Hua Qingqing was moving forward with the others, she seemed to be independent of the world, like a winter plum blossom in the snow.
This made the people from the Barren State feel strange. They naturally didn't think they were weaker than the two, but what was the reason?
If the two really had the secret to getting to Sky Mountain, it was impossible for them to not be discovered under their noses.
After passing through many areas, the group had already been on Sky Mountain for several days. The road up the mountain was too difficult, and the number of people with them decreased. Now, there were only a dozen people left. They no longer had the momentum they had when they climbed the mountain.
Their footsteps were getting slower and slower. Even the geniuses from the Barren State's top forces had more and more evil thoughts in their eyes.
Du Ao of the Sacred Fire Sect was still bathed in the light of the divine fire, resisting the coldness and pressure from Sky Mountain. However, evil flames seemed to be burning in his eyes. He seemed to feel an extremely evil power seeping into his will and affecting him.
"The pressure of the will and the evil thoughts have become stronger. Let's give up." Hua Qingqing turned around and said to everyone in a low voice. The crowd in the snow looked at her pure and flawless eyes. They were still not eroded by anything. Standing in the snow, her bones were like jade and her skin was like ice. She did not belong to the mortal world.
"Since you were able to go up last time, you'll naturally be able to do the same this time." Du Ao from the Sacred Flame Sect stepped forward. He suddenly put his hand on Hua Qingqing's shoulder and stared at the flawless woman in front of him.
Hua Qingqing's body trembled slightly. The moment his hand touched her shoulder, she slid back. Her beautiful eyes became cold as she stared at Du Ao. She released a cold aura.
The surrounding people looked over with a strange expression. Chu Shang glanced at Du Ao coldly. Although the Evil Demon's will on Sky Mountain could amplify one's evil thoughts, Du Ao was a proud figure of the Sacred Flame Sect. It was beneath his status to do such a thing.
"Du Ao is right. Let's continue." Nan Feng said emotionlessly. He naturally would not give up so easily. Hua Qingqing stared at Du Ao coldly, then turned around and continued walking up the mountain.
Evil fire burned in Du Ao's eyes as he stared at Hua Qingqing's back. It was not entirely because of the influence of the evil thoughts, but because he was attracted to Hua Qingqing.
This woman had a pure and flawless temperament. She was born this way and would not be affected by evil thoughts. This was probably why she could climb Sky Mountain.
Not only was Hua Qingqing extremely beautiful, but her body was also extraordinary. If she could become his Path Partner, it would be beneficial for him to cultivate some fire-elemental techniques. Such a beautiful woman was extremely rare in the Barren State.
"Your body is extraordinary. Are you skilled in fire-elemental techniques?" Du Ao walked up to Hua Qingqing and asked.
"No," Hua Qingqing replied coldly and continued forward.
"The Sacred Flame Sect has many special techniques that will suit your cultivation. Are you willing to join the Sacred Flame Sect with me?" Du Ao continued. The surrounding people all looked at Du Ao.
"How leisurely and carefree."
Nan Yu sneered. However, Hua Qingqing was indeed extremely beautiful and very attractive.
"Ye Futian," Nan Yu called to the figure in front. Ye Futian turned around and looked at him.
"Are you willing to join the Nantian House and become one of my subordinates? You can become a general of the Nantian House in the future." As they climbed Sky Mountain, Nan Yu's impression of Ye Futian changed slightly. It seemed that this person's willpower was outstanding. Otherwise, he would not have lasted until now. He was willing to give Ye Futian a chance to join the Nantian House.
A direct descendant of the Nantian House like him would definitely have some status in the family in the future. He could have his own power. For example, the people who followed them to the Eastern Barren Territory this time were all generals of the Nantian House.
"There's no need." Ye Futian smiled. His subordinates? General of the Nantian House?
"The Eastern Barren Territory lacks cultivation resources. Even if you're talented, your cultivation will still be delayed here. Seeing that you're talented, we're willing to let you join the Nantian House. Do you know how many people in the Barren State dream of this? The top nobles at the foot of the mountain are also willing," Nan Feng said.
He looked at Ye Futian with a condescending gaze. However, to him, this was already a sign of appreciation for Ye Futian.
He could not explain the status of the Nantian House to the people of the Eastern Barren Territory. Only when Ye Futian went to the Barren State would he probably know.
Ye Futian smiled and shook his head. "I'm still used to my own clan."
How could the Nantian House compare to the Cottage?
Big Brother, Third Brother, the kind and gentle Second Sister, the obedient Xing 'er Senior Sister, the Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother are also very nice. Although Fatty Yi Xiaoshi has been a little weird lately, he is still quite cute. Only that old guy … I guess I can accept him.
Giving up such a beautiful place to be a general of the Nantian House?
Was he an idiot?
"You people from the holy land of the Eastern Barren Territory don't know how to appreciate favors," Nan Yu said emotionlessly. Clearly, he was referring to Gu Dongliu. Both of them had rejected the Nantian House.
Ye Futian thought he was an idiot, but didn't he also give up the chance to enter the Nantian House? If he understood what the Nantian House meant in the future, he would naturally regret it.
As everyone continued up, gradually, only seven people were still persisting.
Ye Futian and Hua Qingqing.
Nan Feng and Nan Yu of the Nantian House. Chu Shang of the Mortal World. Du Ao of the Sacred Fire Clan. Han Lan of Taixuan Mountain.
At that moment, their footsteps became extremely heavy. It was the same for Ye Futian. As he walked on the mountain path, a gust of wind blew from above, hitting everyone's bodies. Even Nan Feng and the others felt that they were reaching their limits and finding it hard to hold on.
Each of them released a powerful aura. Nan Feng and Nan Yu were clad in dazzling silver armors. Chu Shang was bathed in a dazzling radiance like a fairy from the mortal world. Du Ao's body was covered in the light of the Divine Fire. However, at this moment, the fire seemed to have been corroded by the Evil Will and was burning with the Dark Evil Fire. Han Lan's body released an extremely wild aura like a demonic beast with cold eyes.
Hua Qingqing's pure and flawless body seemed to have musical notes dancing around her. She was bathed in holy light.
"Sky Mountain is not far away. We should be able to reach it if we keep going. Last time was like this. Break through the limit and you can reach Sky Mountain." Ye Futian's face was red and his eyes burned with terrifying light. He seemed to be in great pain but he still gritted his teeth and went up step by step.
Hua Qingqing glanced at Ye Futian. He could fool the others, but he could not fool her.
Ye Futian was faking it, but she naturally would not expose him.
They were still quite a distance away from Sky Mountain. Last time, the Arhat stopped Ye Futian's group here. She knew very well that these people could not reach Sky Mountain, especially when Ye Futian was here.
Everyone held on with all their might. Their steps kept slowing down. The evil intent was everywhere. They could even faintly feel the existence of a terrifying Demon Bird in their minds.
"How much longer?" Nan Yu raised an eyebrow and asked Ye Futian.
"Soon," Ye Futian said with difficulty.
After a while, the fire on Du Ao's body seemed to turn into darkness. His eyes were extremely evil and even his will could not bear it.
"How much longer?" Du Ao also asked.
"Soon," Ye Futian said.
"How many times have you repeated that?" Du Ao's eyes were burning with evil and his tone was threatening.
"We are almost at the peak. Every step is as difficult as reaching the sky. Since I can hold on, you are all important figures from the Barren State. Naturally, you can do it. If I cannot hold on, I will retreat," Ye Futian said. Du Ao snorted coldly. Everyone else's hearts were cold. They were in a dilemma. Ye Futian and Hua Qingqing did not retreat.
Ye Futian sneered. Weren't they going to climb Sky Mountain?
Alright, he would keep them company.
They were all important figures from the Barren State and thought highly of themselves. Since that was the case, he would see how long they could hold on.
He sneered and continued walking. He maintained an extremely slow speed so that the others could keep up with him.
In everyone's minds, the image of a terrifying Demon Bird appeared. The Demon Bird seemed to be able to attack their will, causing them great pain.
Nan Yu grunted and could no longer lift his feet. He stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ye Futian turned and asked Nan Yu.
"Are we there?" Nan Yu stared at Ye Futian.
"Soon …" He still said the same word.
Nan Yu stared at Ye Futian coldly. His eyes were bloodshot. He could not remember how many times Ye Futian had said "soon".
"You can't hold on anymore?" Ye Futian had a strange expression. "If you can't, don't force yourself. It will be dangerous. After all, you are the pride of the Nantian House. If anything happens …"
Thud. Nan Yu's eyes emitted a demonic red glow as he continued to take a step forward. An evil aura began to flow around his body, causing his eyes to become even more evil. He let out a groan as blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth.
