Thousand Layer Mountain was one of the eighty-one mountains. It was located in the southwest and was the seventy-eighth of the eighty-one mountains.
This mountain was tens of thousands of feet tall and spanned over ten miles. It was a giant Thousand Layer Stone mine.
Ever since the Heng Mountain Sect found out about the mine, they had been mining it slowly. They didn't dig too much to give it time to regenerate and prevent it from completely drying up. Also, because of the "gourd gathering cauldron", the Thousand Layer Mountain regenerated Thousand Layer Stone very quickly. As long as the soil was filled in, after a hundred years of precipitation, it could be fossilized again. After another hundred years, it could form another Thousand Layer Stone. After five hundred or a thousand years, it could form a top quality Thousand Layer Stone.
The Heng Mountain Sect made a thousand year cycle plan to ensure that the Thousand Layer Stone would regenerate endlessly.
Yue Xin brought Yang Wu, Yang Hongchang, Bai Weming, and the others to the Thousand Layer Mountain. There were already quite a few people gathered here.
Shu Yujun, Xiao Chen, and Lin Huang were all here. There were also some people of different ages. They were the deacons or disciples of the Heng Mountain Sect.
The Thousand Layer Mountain was open at all times. As long as one was a disciple of the Heng Mountain Sect, they could challenge it. Most of the deacons and disciples in front of them were here to challenge it. A small portion of them were from the West Peak Peak. They were Xiao Chen's supporters and had been called over by Xiao Chen to watch Yang Wu make a fool of himself.
When Xiao Chen saw that Yang Wu had arrived, a sinister smile appeared on his face. He muttered in his heart, "You dare make a fool of me in front of everyone. I'll definitely make you leave Heng Mountain with your face covered in dirt!"
Yang Wu noticed Xiao Chen's gaze but didn't put him in his eyes. Instead, he warmly welcomed Shu Yujun and said, "Miss Shu, thank you for your kind treatment. You let me challenge your sect's cultivation trial."
Yang Wu was no longer the ignorant youth from before. He could tell from Xiao Chen's hostility that it was because of Shu Yujun, so he purposely continued to provoke him.
Who made him suffer? He would make them suffer even more.
Sure enough, when Xiao Chen saw Shu Yujun passionately respond to Yang Wu, his eyes were filled with the flames of jealousy. He clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and beat up Yang Wu.
"I've already reported the matter of the Thousand Mountains to the elders. Today, we're opening it to the public. Regardless of whether you're an ally of the White Water Clan or any other friend, you can challenge the Thousand Mountains. Those who succeed will be rewarded with the Thousand Mountains," Shu Yujun announced to everyone.
"Then I also want to try!" Yang Hongchang said excitedly, then he said to Yang Jie and the others, "The three of you also want to try."
"Seventh Uncle, we're still in the Earth Sea Realm." Yang Jie replied with a drooping face.
"An Earth Sea Realm cultivator can pass the first stage," Yue Xin said from the side.
"I heard that it's dangerous to pass the trial!" Yang Jie said again.
"He won't die," Yue Xin replied.
In the next moment, an elder of the Thousand Mountains gave everyone a "Teleportation Jade Talisman". If anyone couldn't handle it in the Thousand Mountains, they could crush the jade talisman and teleport back to their current position. There would be no danger to their lives.
Yang Jie, Yang Po, and the others couldn't refuse, so they could only brace themselves and agree.
Yang Wu played with the jade talisman in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. "Great powers have so many good things."
This was the first time he'd heard of this kind of jade talisman. Through his Immortal Qi, he could feel that this jade talisman contained a trace of Holy Qi. It was a jade talisman made by a Saint. Even if it was extremely thin, it was enough for teleportation.
"Yang Wu, today I'll accompany you through the three stages," Shu Yujun said to Yang Wu.
Today, she'd changed into a set of dark blue satin with a snake scale belt around her waist, perfectly outlining her tall and slender figure. Her exposed skin was tender and translucent like jade. Her beautiful hair was tied up high, and the blue scarf belt fluttered in the wind. It was a heroic and dainty style.
A third of the Heng Mountain Sect's female disciples were female, but among the younger generation, Shu Yujun was definitely the number one beauty.
Many men in the Heng Mountain Sect admired her, but without absolute talent or background, they basically didn't dare to provoke her.
Xiao Chen was the kind of person who had talent and background. He'd always wanted to pursue Shu Yujun. In the future, he might even have a chance to take over the position of sect leader.
Yang Wu was about to speak when Xiao Chen provoked him again. "Yang Wu, I was wrong yesterday, but I'll remember the humiliation you gave me. Today, we'll make a bet. No matter what the result is, we'll write off all our grievances. How about it?"
"Xiao Chen, will you only be satisfied after ruining our Heng Mountain Sect's righteous reputation?" Shu Yujun angrily glared at Xiao Chen.
"Junior sister's words are wrong. Yang Wu humiliated me, so I must take back my face. Otherwise, in the future, it'll cause a knot in my heart and I won't be able to reach the peak of martial arts. Then he'll be my enemy. So today, I only want to settle things once and for all. Junior sister, please don't stop me." Xiao Chen said in a low voice. After a pause, he added, "Could it be that junior sister is more biased towards outsiders?"
Someone beside Xiao Chen said, "Junior sister Shu, let men solve their own problems. It's not a life and death battle, so why bother?"
"That's right. If he has the guts, then what's wrong with making a bet with senior brother Xiao? He won't lose his life."
"They're all Heng Mountain disciples. If outsiders respect our master, then they shouldn't be so impudent."
… …
No matter what, Yang Wu was still an outsider. The Heng Mountain Sect's disciples were more biased towards Xiao Chen.
Shu Yujun was so angry that she couldn't speak. If she continued to side with Yang Wu, then these people would have even more opinions.
Yang Wu didn't want to make things difficult for Shu Yujun. He said, "How do you want to bet? I'll help you."
"I know you want to refine a weapon. If you pass the three trials, then you can get a top grade thousand heavy stone. I also have a tortoise pattern stone. Even though it's not big, it's still a small saint material. If you win, then I'll give it to you." Xiao Chen said with a faint smile. After a pause, he said, "If I win, then I don't want anything from you. I just want you to kneel down and apologize to me."
As soon as he said this, Yang Hongchang, Yang Jie, and the five heroes glared at Xiao Chen. They felt that he was going too far.
Yang Hongchang even opened his mouth and said, "Yang Wu, let's go. Don't try anymore. Let's return to the Yang Clan. I'll ask the clan's blacksmith to forge a weapon for you. How can we, the people of the War Clan, be humiliated by others?"
When the two words "War Clan" rang out, the hearts of the Heng Mountain Sect's people trembled. They all looked at Yang Hongchang with disbelief. It was hard to believe that he was a member of the War Clan.
In the ancient times, there were tens of thousands of clans. The human race was weak and was once reduced to the food of the other races. It was the War Clan that created tens of thousands of methods and led the human race to a bloody path of self-improvement. In the end, they intimidated tens of thousands of clans and helped the human race to become the leader of the tens of thousands of clans. Even now, the tens of thousands of clans didn't dare to make the human race their enemy.
Unfortunately, with the passage of time, there were War Clans that were still strong, but there were also War Clans that declined. In addition, there were also other human races that suddenly emerged. The War Clan's position was far from before, but they were still worthy of the respect of many humans.
Yang Wu waved his hand at Yang Hongchang and then said to Xiao Chen, "Your bet is not bad, but it's not enough. If you want me, Yang Wu, to kneel, you have to pay a price. Other than the Tortoise Stone, if you shout 'I'm a pig' three times, I'll bet with you."
"Okay, I agree." Xiao Chen said straightforwardly.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you've already tried the Thousand Mountains five times. The last three times you failed at the third trial. It seems like you have the confidence to pass all three trials this time." Lin Huang, who had been silent until now, said.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lin overpraises me. This time, no matter what, I will pass."
Yang Wu understood Lin Huang's words. Xiao Chen had tried many times, so his chances of passing all three trials was very high. As for him, an outsider who had never entered the Thousand Mountains, there was no way he could compare.
"This isn't fair." Yang Jie said with dissatisfaction.
"There is no such thing as fairness in this world." A disciple from the Heng Shan Sect replied.
Tang Wen asked, "If both of them don't pass, or if both of them pass, how will the victor be determined?"
"It's very simple. If they don't pass, then it'll depend on who goes further and lasts longer. If both of them pass, then it'll depend on who passes faster." A Heng Shan Sect disciple said.
Yang Wu replied, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Let's start now."
"Haha, you're straightforward enough. I'll wait for you to kneel and apologize!" Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He took the lead and walked towards the trial.
The other people from the Heng Shan Sect also quickly followed. Their gazes swept past Yang Wu from time to time. Most of them were filled with ridicule, disdain, and hostility towards Yang Wu.
"Martial Heavenly King, I'm afraid you'll lose this time. How about, you don't compete." Yue Xin went up and advised Yang Wu.
Shu Yujun revealed a guilty expression and said, "It's all my fault. Let me stop this."
Yang Wu smiled and said, "You guys worry too much. Even though I don't know how difficult your Thousand Mountains Pass is, I don't think I'll lose just like that. If I really lose, then I can only blame myself for overestimating myself. It's not like I'll lose too much. Let's go, I'll go take a look at the Thousand Mountains Pass."
Bai Wuming said, "Yang Wu is right. His battle strength is extraordinary. Even if your Thousand Mountains Pass is extraordinary, you might not be able to trap him."
Bai Luoyun agreed and said, "My lord's battle strength is unrivalled. There's nothing that can stop him!"
"Okay, then let's go." Shu Yujun was not a wishy-washy person. She brought Yang Wu's group to the first stage of the Thousand Mountains Pass.
This was a mountain path. On the mountain path, there were nine by nine, eighty-one steps. The distance between each step was not small, and it led straight to the belly of the mountain.
Shu Yujun introduced, "The first stage is the Carrying Mountain Pass. Once you enter the steps, you will be surrounded by a mountain. Moreover, your profound qi is sealed, and you can only rely on your physical body to complete the eighty-one steps to complete the first stage. Therefore, in this stage, you must have at least ten thousand cauldrons of strength to climb the mountain. Otherwise, when the mountain approaches, some disciples will overestimate themselves and not even have time to use the teleportation jade talisman before being crushed to death."
"Then let's not go." Yang Jie immediately retreated.
Yue Xin said, "Don't be afraid. The first step only needs to withstand a thousand cauldrons of strength. The higher you go, the stronger the mountain will be. When you can't take it anymore, shatter the teleportation jade talisman and you can leave."
"That's better." Yang Jie let out a sigh of relief.
"Stop talking nonsense. That guy is climbing the steps. Yang Wu, hurry up." Yang Hongchang said anxiously.
At this time, Xiao Chen was the first to climb the steps.
