Chapter 478: Chapter 468: Because There’s a Dragon in the Mountain Chapter 478: Chapter 468: Because There’s a Dragon in the Mountain When Old Peng spoke of the strange incident, his pauses were a bit long.

It seemed he was recalling the entire incident meticulously to avoid any errors.

Tang Zelin and Su Shu didn’t rush him; everyone quietly waited without disturbing Old Peng’s recollection.

After a long while, Old Peng sighed and raised his eyes.

“The story I’m about to tell might sound overly fantastical, might not be true, or it could be that over the years, the true details have changed, leaving only a rough framework of the story. If you feel it doesn’t sound true, then just take it as a legend,” he said.

“Old Peng, please go ahead, it’s alright,” they said.

Old Peng took a sip of water, moistened his throat, cleared his throat twice, and started speaking.

The youth led the General, the Imperial Physician, the Taoist, and others, wandering in the mountains for two or three days. Because they couldn’t find the life-saving item he spoke of, he endured quite a few beatings.

It was on the evening of the fourth day, with the General angry from their incessant failures in the mountains, almost whipped the young man to death. Just when a life was about to be lost, a Taoist who had casually followed them suddenly spoke up.

The Taoist said he knew why they had been wandering around the mountains for so long without success. Naturally, the General asked him why.

The Taoist explained that the valley they were in was the legendary Ghost Valley Ridge, the most mysterious area in the Peng Mountain Region. Without a hunter who knows the way to guide, ordinary people would get lost, and their several days wandering around were actually them being trapped there.

If they wanted to find what they were looking for, they had to either break out or find it within.

The Taoist’s words carried a strange air. The General didn’t understand, so the Taoist explained further.

Peng Mountain, long, long ago, was not called Peng Mountain but Lingyuan. It was a place of outstanding natural beauty and rich in Spiritual Energy. Therefore, the mountain housed many precious natural resources. From the Warring States Period until now, the highest quality ginseng and lingzhi were all found here, which is why this mountain range, through the vicissitudes of time, was always deliberately protected by interested parties.

So, no matter how the flames of war raged or dynasties changed, Lingyuan remained like a hermit expert calmly sitting there, watching from the sidelines.

When Old Peng said this, he specifically clarified that the Peng Mountain Region was considered the Northern Border long, long ago, sometimes bearing the responsibility of the border between countries.

After finishing, the Taoist approached the beaten, bleeding youth and asked him if he knew why the elderly in Peng Village said Peng Mountain had odd phenomena.

The young man, naturally unaware, had ventured into the world young and the village elders wouldn’t have shared such specifics; he only knew some places in Peng Mountain were terrifying, so he just shook his head.

The Taoist said that it was because within Peng Mountain lived a Giant Python that had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years, hiding and waiting for the right moment to undergo its Heavenly Ascension. This was why the elders didn’t allow the younger generations to enter carelessly, as it would disturb its rest and bring calamity to the entire village.

Such an incredible assertion was naturally hard to believe for the leading General of the time; however, the Taoist swore he could show them the true form of the Giant Python.

A Giant Python that had lived for tens of thousands of years was not only unheard of, but if they could actually see it, it would be worth dying for.
