"Enlightened Masters can't enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills, why?" Chu Li frowned.
"That's the rule, why would there be a reason?" The little Vermillion Bird said impatiently, "Enlightened Masters can't enter anyway, as long as they do, they must be killed. You're already here, you're going to die."
Chu Li frowned, "Isn't this too overbearing?"
"That's how it is." The little Vermillion Bird scoffed proudly, "The Hundred-Thousand Hills is the territory of Spirit Beasts, humans are not allowed to enter, but as long as you're not an Enlightened Master, it doesn't matter if you come in, as long as you can get out."
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, there will be Spirit Beasts coming to kill me soon?"
"Yes." The little Vermillion Bird nodded and smiled, "Why aren't you escaping?"
"Before I escape, there's something first," Chu Li said, "I wonder if you can help me find a spirit herb with an exceptionally long lifespan?"
"An exceptionally long lifespan?" The little Vermillion Bird tilted its head and thought, "What do you want that for?"
"Of course, there's a use for it," Chu Li said.
The little Vermillion Bird tilted its head and thought, "I can't give you precious spirit herbs, but as long as it has a long lifespan, there's one called the Ten Thousand Year Pine Tree, that one!"
It turned and rushed to another towering peak.
The peak towered into the sky, it was huge and majestic, half of the mountain was covered by white clouds, one could only see the lush greenery below the mountainside, it was full of vitality, it was refreshing to look at it, it also gave one a sense of awe.
The lush greenery originated from the dense pine forest, almost all of it was green pines.
"Which one is the Ten Thousand Year Pine Tree?" Chu Li pointed.
"That's them!" The little Vermillion Bird said, "Other than their long lifespan, they're useless, none of the Spirit Beasts in the Hundred-Thousand Hills like them, their pine seeds are especially unpalatable!"
Chu Li nodded, "Thank you."
He suddenly appeared at the foot of the giant peak and entered the pine forest.
His vision swayed as if there was an earthquake, his body swayed as if he was drunk.
The little Vermilion Bird, who was hovering a hundred feet above him and looking down at him, let out a proud cry, feeling very satisfied.
Chu Li hurriedly held his breath and soon realized that it was not due to breathing, but from his pores, so he sealed his pores.
Once the pores were locked, it was equivalent to being isolated from the outside world. It was difficult for poisonous gas to enter, and after that, it was difficult for spiritual energy to enter as well. An Enlightened Master would lose half of his cultivation, and could only rely on the inner energy in his body.
Activating the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li realized that there were green vines crawling toward his feet. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a thin snake. Its entire body was green, just like the green vines around it.
He lightly stamped his foot, and immediately, an invisible force spread out.
However, the thin snake did not slow down and continued to crawl forward. It was only a meter away from the boot.
He shook his head. With a flash of his sword, the snake's head fell off, but the snake's body was still climbing up his boots.
Chu Li took two steps back to avoid it.
Although the snake's body was headless, it still continued to move forward. After climbing up a pine tree, it twisted quickly and forcefully squeezed into the pine tree, leaving only a thin mark.
Chu Li shook his head. He did not expect this thin snake to be so powerful.
After exhaling twice to expel the poisonous gas, he woke up and looked at the surrounding pine trees. He looked up at the little Vermillion Bird who was staring at him, shook his head, and said to it in his mind, "You're biting the hand that feeds you!"
"Hmph, you came running over before I could say anything. What are you blaming me for!" The little Vermillion Bird was dissatisfied.
Chu Li smiled and did not refute.
The little Vermillion Bird was obviously doing this on purpose, using his anxiety to set up a trap. Other than the thin snake, there was also a small insect above the pine trees, which gave him goosebumps.
He slapped a pine tree with his left palm and activated the Ageless Longevity Technique. The pine tree quickly withered. Chu Li let go of his hand, but did not directly cut off its vitality and take away all its life force.
Swallowing spirit herbs was different from pine trees. Spirit herbs were already pulled out and ready to be used as medicine. Even if he did not swallow it, it would still be used for medicine refinement. However, the pine tree was still alive. Although it was nothing, he still felt uncomfortable.
When the pine tree showed signs of wilting, he let go of his hand and switched to another one. In the blink of an eye, he had slapped more than ten thousand year old pine trees.
These pine trees really had ten thousand years of life force. He had already swallowed a hundred years of life force from each tree and could not swallow anymore. The Ageless Longevity Technique was not difficult to swallow without limit. Almost a thousand years of life was the limit.
He secretly felt that it was a pity. This way, he could not use the Sky Killer Sword too many times.
He lowered his head and plucked a few saplings, broke a few branches, and picked up a few pine cones. He was going to bring them back to his courtyard and plant them under the Glory's Will Tree to swallow life force.
"Let's go!" The little Vermillion Bird suddenly shouted, "They're here!"
Chu Li knew what it meant. The supreme spirit beasts were about to appear.
The little Vermillion Bird saw Chu Li calmly pick up the pine cones and anxiously shouted, "Hey, you're going to be killed if you don't leave!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
If the supreme spirit beasts really wanted to kill him, they would come as soon as he appeared. The supreme spirit beasts had sharper senses than him. It was obvious that they did not appear for a long time.
The little Vermillion Bird scoffed, "Don't blame me if you die. I've already sent you a message!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Chu Li smiled.
The little Vermillion Bird turned its head and scoffed.
Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of the ice pond. He saw that the supreme spirit beasts had no intention of appearing, so he waved at the Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Tortoise. He then bid farewell to the little Vermillion Bird and disappeared again.
When he returned to his courtyard in the High Duke's Public House, Xue was reading some dossiers in the courtyard. When she saw him return, she went forward to welcome him. Chu Li instructed her to make the pine cones, pine cones, and pine saplings alive. He had great use for them. Then, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared at Goddess Attraction Mountain.
—
Goddess Attraction Mountain towered between heaven and earth. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, faintly exuding an aura of immortals. It did not seem like a mountain of the human world, but a mountain of immortals. That was how Goddess Attraction Mountain got its name.
Outside Goddess Attraction Mountain, Tang Xu was alone. His bright yellow robe fluttered as he stared at Goddess Attraction Mountain with his hands behind his back.
His mind was racing as he thought about the consequences of this attack.
Overthrowing Goddess Attraction Mountain was the Tang family's long-cherished wish. It was the obsession of every generation of the Tang family's ancestors. As the Enlightened Masters of the Fu Dynasty, the Tang family was in charge of a nation, yet they could not match up to Goddess Attraction Mountain. It was a great humiliation.
Therefore, every Enlightened Master of the Tang family wanted to overthrow Goddess Attraction Mountain and suppress it. However, Tang Xu had a greater ambition. He wanted to defeat and destroy Goddess Attraction Mountain in one fell swoop.
Once Goddess Attraction Mountain was destroyed, there would naturally be another Imperial Emperor, but he would not be as powerful as Goddess Attraction Mountain. He would not be able to match the Tang family of the Fu Dynasty.
However, Goddess Attraction Mountain was not built by luck. There was no lack of outstanding ancestors, but none of them succeeded. Could he succeed?
As soon as his suspicions arose, they were magnified.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and swept away his doubts. Now was the time of chaos, and Goddess Attraction Mountain was at its weakest. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he did not seize it, he would not be able to face his ancestors when he entered the Outland.
When he thought of this, he became determined again. He took a deep breath and took out ten jade talismans.
