The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. The uneven peaks of the mountain range stretched on endlessly. Its long history had long ago given the mountain range a primitive, desolate, and boundless landscape.
The night was hazy.
When the darkness covered the sky, a crescent moon rose from the east. Its warm and clear light illuminated the earth, sweeping away the darkness.
The stars twinkled, and the starlight flowed slowly, like water pouring down. In the darkness of the night, it was like countless bright lights.
Li Yue quietly sat cross-legged on a large bluestone beside the lake, his heart as calm as still water. His black hair fluttered in the wind, gently brushing against his forehead as a strand of black hair gently brushed against his forehead.
"Three years. I am already sixteen years old!"
Time passed so quickly. Unknowingly, a few years had passed. Li Yue had already been here for three years, and in these three years, his training had naturally advanced by leaps and bounds.
Three years ago, when he had first attempted to train in the battle-qi manual, he had soared to the heavens. On his first attempt, he had broken through from the fifth rank to the seventh rank.
And now, at the age of sixteen, his training had become even more powerful. A few months ago, he had already reached the peak of the ninth rank.
"A few months have passed, but my training hasn't improved at all. I'm stuck at this bottleneck, unable to break through. To break through the ninth rank and become a Saint-level warrior, I'm still quite far away."
The Saint-level was a threshold.
In the Yulan continent, there were quite a few warriors of the ninth rank, but very few were able to reach the Saint-level. Every single Saint-level warrior was a proud son of the heavens. Whether in terms of talent or experience, ordinary people would find it hard to imagine.
In the history of the Yulan continent, countless people had been stuck at this bottleneck, unable to break through. And now, Li Yue had reached the same bottleneck.
"It seems it is time to leave this place!"
In order to reach the Saint-level, training alone wasn't enough. It also depended on luck and destiny.
Li Yue didn't lack talent, resources, or comprehension. The only thing he lacked was a bit of luck. Although he was still at the peak of the ninth rank, he had long ago mastered the concept of 'wielding something heavy as though it were light', and 'transforming weight into something heavy'. He was only one step away from being able to completely understand the 'force of nature'.
But this step, aside from training, was up to the will of the heavens.
Perhaps in the next second, he would gain some insight and break through. Perhaps he would be stuck at this bottleneck for the rest of his life, unable to break through.
…
This place was deep within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, in front of a lake.
Lush green grass grew by the lakeside, and there was a simple wooden hut by the shore. This was Li Yue's residence for the past three years.
Originally, this was the territory of an eighth rank magical beast, the Blood Demon Hound. Later, it was discovered by Li Yue. After a bitter battle, he successfully slew the Blood Demon Hound, and it became his residence.
Therefore, on normal days, no other magical beasts would invade this place. It was very quiet.
Li Yue lived here. During the day, he would go out to find many powerful magical beasts to battle, and at night, he would come back to silently cultivate. Occasionally, he would sit by the lakeside and enjoy the scenery, relaxing himself.
But tonight, after sensing that his cultivation had reached a certain limit, Li Yue did not hesitate and made up his mind to leave this place.
…
"Time to go."
The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was filled with many dangers. Although his current power was decent, he still wasn't able to roam freely within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. This place was no longer of much use, and so he naturally chose to leave.
"However, before I leave, perhaps I should go take a look at that place. In the original story, there was a Highgod artifact there … Bloodviolet. That was a treasure left behind by the Bloodviolet Fiend, a Seven Star Fiend of the Infernal Realm. It contains a powerful Dao of Destruction within it, and is of great value to me right now!"
Li Yue was unable to sense the seven Edicts, and so if he wanted to become a Deity, he had to gain insights into the four Edicts.
As it so happened, the Bloodviolet Fiend was a powerful Highgod who was skilled in the Edicts of Destruction. Although his weapon didn't represent himself, it still contained a hint of the Bloodviolet Fiend's insights.
If he could gain some insights from it, perhaps he would be able to break through his bottleneck?
"This is my final option. There's no other option. I'll give it a try."
Li Yue murmured softly. Originally, he didn't want to rely on external items. He wanted to break through his bottleneck on his own, but now that he was stuck here, he had no choice but to do this.
Just as he had said, there was no other option.
"Even if I don't succeed, to be able to acquire a Highgod artifact is excellent."
…..
The Bloodviolet Godsword was located in a secluded area within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. The original work had described it as the Valley of Fogs.
Li Yue had discovered this place long ago, but this valley was simply too dangerous. There were countless powerful magical beasts within, and so when he had first discovered it, he hadn't acted rashly, nor had he gone to disturb it.
Now that he had decided to enter the Valley of Fogs, he naturally followed the familiar path to this place.
This was an extremely wide valley. There was a river within it, as well as lush grass. It looked like a paradise. However, in this' paradise ', there were groups of gigantic reptiles.
They were two stories tall and thirty meters long. They had stone-like scales, and each scale was half the size of a human. These were Landwyrms.
Within the valley, the Landwyrms were only a small force, because there were many Velocidragons here as well. Velocidragons didn't live in groups, and most of them were scattered throughout the valley. At the same time, there would occasionally be Dragonhawks flying through the skies. If one looked carefully, one would see that in the distant grass, there were even some large pythons swimming past.
They flew in the air, crawled on the ground, and swam in the water. They were everywhere, and most of them were dragons. Wyverns, Landwyverns, Waterwyverns, and even serpents were everywhere. It could be said that if an ordinary person entered this place, they would be easily discovered by these magical beasts.
"The vegetation within the valley isn't very deep. It's only as tall as a person. It'll be hard to avoid them!"
Deep within the valley, there were patches of grass. These were patches of Blueheart Grass, which was used to stimulate the blood of dragons. This was why there were so many dragon-type magical beasts here. Blueheart Grass, to ordinary people, wasn't very valuable, but to the Dragonblood Warrior clan, it was a priceless treasure that couldn't be bought with money. It was incomparably precious.
"Unfortunately, it's useless to me. My goal is the deepest part of the valley!"
There was a mysterious altar there, and within the altar, there was a divine sword. It was the Bloodviolet flexible sword, and this flexible sword was Li Yue's goal.
"This sword is used to suppress and seal the Gebados Prison Plane, which is attached to the Yulan continent. Within the Gebados Prison, there are many Deities, as well as terrifying experts from many different planes!"
Once these experts were released, there would definitely be an earth-shattering scene.
"However, in the original story, the main character was able to pull it out without any problems, allowing Dylin to escape. But there are still two hundred years before the story begins. Even if I pull it out, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Li Yue let out a low growl, then leapt downwards.
