Chapter 157: Chapter 148: Big Trouble! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Wangjun Mountain,

A hundred and some miles to the northwest of Tianxiong Pass.

Legend has it that long ago, a warrior departed through this ancient path, joined the expedition outside the border, and never returned. His wife, who bid him farewell, yearned for her Young Lord, day after day, year after year, atop this mountain until she turned into a stone on the summit, thus giving the mountain its name.

At this moment, deep into the night, the mountain forest appeared like Evil Spirits, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Two streaks of light came from the southeast, tearing through the night sky, arriving above this mountain.

The light dissipated, revealing two figures.

"General, this place is Wangjun Mountain."

"That Beiliang Guest with the surname Wu mentioned this mountain twice during the conversation with the General at Heavenly Fragrance Building."

"However, our people did not hear the details clearly..."

At this time, a voice as delicate as wind chimes sounded, a woman’s voice.

Dressed in agate-embellished, translucent garb, her slightly curled black hair was a little disordered by the night breeze, and her water-blue eyes flickered like a lake rippled by the wind.

An Ge was leading Chen Yuan to Wangjun Mountain or, more accurately, was forced to.

Beside her, Chen Yuan’s eyes shimmered with golden light, gazing into the distance.

Beyond the mountain, the world was desolate, with yellow sand swirling through the heavens and earth.

That was the land beyond the borders!

The domain of the King of Beiliang and the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, all visible in the far distance!

"Clad in Hundred-refined Steel Armor through countless battles, I shall not return unless Loulan falls." Perhaps fittingly, these lines of poetry came to mind.

However, Chen Yuan quickly dismissed the thought, his eyelids lowered, gazing down at Wangjun Mountain below.

Then, the specks of golden light in his eyes rapidly condensed into a dot of gold lacquer; his eyes emitted two beams of golden light, and with a step, he moved as if a Heavenly God patrolling the mortal realm, surveying the four corners of the forest.

At the same time, he did not forget to transmit a message, instructing the former Princess of Loulan to follow.

Wangjun Mountain stretched for dozens of miles, undulating in altitude, with the highest peak towering nearly five hundred yards. Chen Yuan flitted beneath his feet, employing the Magic Eye Golden Light, inch by inch, scanning for any suspicious locations.

As time passed, nearly half an hour was about to elapse,

Chen Yuan’s golden pupils flickered, his brows furrowed, and then he plummeted down toward a mountain stream.

The water roared, the waterfall cascaded down a hundred-meter cliff, and its thunderous impact against the pool below sent up mists of spray.

Chen Yuan hovered in the midst of the waterfall, his face feeling the mist, and then raised his hand, swiping fiercely in front of him.

A streak of Sword Qi white light, whistling through the sky, drew a thin white line and thunderously cleaved the ten-yard-wide waterfall in front of him.

"Boom"

The might of the hundred-meter waterfall was split in half, revealing a cliff face covered with mossy green.

But under the reflection of Chen Yuan’s Dharma Eye, in the next second, ripples appeared in the middle of the cliff, followed by the opening of a Water Curtain Cave, with a pale blue light barrier that looked like a layer of water film, about an inch thick.

Chen Yuan’s Dharma Eye intensified and shot out golden light, swirling as it hit this light barrier.

"Hiss"

A sharp metallic slicing sound erupted.

The golden light, like a red-hot iron rod, forcefully penetrated into the thick ice wall, slowly melting away the Prohibition.

Judging by the slow progress under the Dharma Eye’s power, one could see the solidity of this Prohibition.

About thirty minutes later, the Dharma Eye finally pierced through the pale blue light barrier.

Next, like shattered glass, the light barrier dissipated into smoke.

A pitch-black entrance extended into the belly of the mountain.

Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered; a subtle aura inside was concealed, making it difficult for even the Dharma Eye to penetrate.

For safety’s sake, he turned around to look at An Ge behind him,

"Miss An, why are you hesitating? I’ve spent a bit too much of my Divine Skills and need to recover for a while. So please go ahead."

After all, this was the place that the woman brought him to, which was mentioned by that Beiliang Guest.

Whether it was the right place or not, was still a question.

It’s always best to be cautious.

An Ge, upon hearing this thinly veiled excuse, trembled her eyelashes without saying anything. She frowned towards the deep recesses of the cave, and then her body emitted a water-blue Spirit Light, her feet moved, shooting towards the cave mouth, quickly disappearing into it.

Chen Yuan quietly watched from the outside.

After about two or three minutes, she returned, her water-blue eyes flashing rapidly twice.

"Inside there are Weapons, Armor, and an Array I couldn’t see through."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan moved into the cave.

A dozen breaths later, Chen Yuan reached the deep belly of the mountain; the mountain’s interior was almost hollowed out, revealing a cavern that was about a mile wide.

In the cave, all kinds of Armor, Weapons gleamed coldly, making the air within chill to the bone.

Chen Yuan casually picked up a steel saber, lightly flicked it with his finger, and a crisp hum emanated from the blade.

Hundred-refined Steel!

Certainly no small cost!

He then scanned the cavern, estimating that the Armor and Weapons here could equip thousands of Troops.

Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed; there was a gleaming coldness inside—apparently, he had found the right place.

These thousands of pieces of armor and swords forged from Hundred-refined Steel, their potential use was self-evident.

But now, all belonged to him.

With this thought, he waved his sleeve, and the Pot Heaven Divine Power was put to use.

A turbulent suction emerged from the wide sleeve, and the clanging of impacts immediately filled the spacious cavern.

However, halfway through, the Heaven Pot Sleeve was filled.

Chen Yuan immediately poured the remaining fifty-three points of Luck into this Divine Skill, and in an instant, the Teapot Heaven Space expanded by about fifty more yards.
