Chapter 1267 - Chapter 1267 Chapter 1131 Independent Bet

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1131: Independent Bet! Chapter 1267: Chapter 1131: Independent Bet! Following the Heavenly Mountain Range, everyone flew along, gazing at the rolling mountain ranges with their majestic and vast whiteness that inexplicably brightened their spirits.

The terrain of the Heavenly Mountains continuously rose, and the coldness of the air slowly penetrated deep into their bones, making cold-sensitive people like Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, and Chao Leng Chuan unconsciously huddle closer to Mu Qingyi’s Crowned Phoenix King to warm themselves.

Chu Mu had previously consumed a great deal of Ice Element Spirit Items, altering his physique, so such low temperatures didn’t affect him at all.

Before they knew it, the lofty Heavenly Mountains were already before their eyes.

“Say, is that Cloud Gate?” Ye Wansheng pointed ahead and asked.

The giant mountain in front sank abruptly, forming a straight crevasse that, from a distance, looked like a gate opening within the vast mountain, grandiose and mysterious.

“It should be,” Chu Mu indeed hadn’t expected such a spectacle in the Heavenly Mountains. Without someone to tell them, who would spend such a lengthy time traveling through such a harsh Glacial Mountain Range?

Everyone landed, recalled their flying Soul Pets, and chose running Soul Pets instead.

Without Ye by his side, Chu Mu could actually ride Zhan Ye, but Zhan Ye’s stamina was definitely not as good as Ye’s, so using it as a mount wasn’t very appropriate.

Chu Mu simply shared a mount with Ye Qingzi; the Purple Robe Dream Beast’s running speed wasn’t slow either.

Following that straight passage, the severity on both sides gave a sense of oppression.

It was a lengthy channel; as everyone walked along, they could always hear Ye Wansheng’s constant chatter and muttering to himself, which also served to pass the time for the group.

Of course, the occasional jokes from that guy always unconsciously drew people closer to the Little Paradise Bird on Mu Qingyi’s shoulder.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were already accustomed to Ye Wansheng’s antics, while Mu Qingyi frequently frowned; after all, this guy sometimes said things that were quite vulgar and risque. On the other hand, the Morning Crown Prince, who had less social contact, was very interested in what Ye Wansheng said, asking questions with a humble and curious look, and occasionally showing a sudden realization.

Seeing this, Chu Mu indeed worried that the poor Morning Crown Prince might inadvertently be led astray by Ye Wansheng’s improper influence.

There was a beam of light ahead, but although it always seemed close, they could never reach it.

The light was clearly coming from the end of Cloud Gate. As they walked on, suddenly, the warm sunlight fell upon them, and their view abruptly opened up!

Everyone looked into the distance and saw a landscape where the terrain gradually descended, with the difference that the mountains were no longer covered by glaciers but were serene and green, giving the impression that between the mountains, there might be peaceful little villages.

The World is similar in many ways, including the special Holy Lands, which are ultimately within nature’s domain. But after seeing so much harsh and indifferent ice, suddenly witnessing this scene harboring the essence of spring was equally refreshing.

“Hey, there’s a statue of an old man here; whose kid is this talented, huh? Even made it look lifelike,” Ye Wansheng exclaimed in surprise and pointed to a figure of a squatting ice Elder on the mountain wall.

Chu Mu also glanced at it; at first sight, it really did look like a snowman, but on closer inspection, it seemed more like a living person frozen there.

“Hmmph, which family’s child is this rude?” Suddenly, the eyes of the snow figure burst open, revealing a pair of old, profound eyes with an intense glare fixed on the five of them.

The sudden animation of the snowman gave Chu Mu and the others quite a shock, knowing that they had used their Soul Sense just now to check, and the snowman had no sign of life!

“Old man, you trying to scare us to death or what? Hanging around here pretending to be a snowman for fun, did you think a young lady in a skirt might pass by you in these glacial mountains?” Ye Wansheng hollered as soon as he came to his senses.

“Uh…” With that said, the old man was indeed at a loss for words.

Where did this wild kid come from, spouting nonsense right before him?

He, the Elder, had been guarding this place for who knows how many years, as the Boundary Guardian. Who, after eating their fill, would squat here waiting for women?

“This is the Boundary’s Territory, and one cannot enter as they please,” the old man coughed and said solemnly.

“Old man, don’t tell me you’re also collecting tolls. At your age, you still want to play mountain king? Take a break, you should go back to wherever and spend time with your grandchildren,” Ye Wansheng said.

The Guardian of Cloud Gate had black lines on his forehead as he looked at the audacious speaker. Did he not understand human speech or what?

Chu Mu knew all too well that Ye Wansheng possessed a powerful Racial Skill: the absolute ability to stir trouble and make it messier. Therefore, he didn’t let him continue and spoke up, “We come from the New Moon Land, intending to train in the Cloud Realm.”

“Oh, another bunch of kids who don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Every ten years I let one person pass through here. You five want to cross, then wait fifty years.” The old man of Cloud Gate said indifferently.

“Wait fifty years, what a joke, this isn’t your personal property. What gives you the right to decide?” Ye Wansheng immediately got anxious. If it wasn’t for the fact that the old man’s beard was almost frozen, he would have grabbed it and dragged him away already.

“I am here to guard on the orders of the Boundary Master. There are only three ways to pass through. The first is as I just mentioned, wait fifty years and I’ll reserve the spots for you. The second is to have a Cloud Realm pass or one issued by the Boundary Master.” The old man said.

“The third one isn’t beating you until you’re looking for your teeth all over the ground, right? I’m telling you, old man, do you think this is some hero’s biography? That every gatekeeping old man is an unparalleled expert? Even if you are an expert, at your age, do you really feel good about saying defeating you is an achievement? Why didn’t I see you standing here saying these words when you were in your twenties? I would have surely beaten you until you were looking for your teeth all over the ground then,” Ye Wansheng spoke rapidly, leaving the Old Man of Cloud Gate truly unable to react.

Just when the old man thought of something to say, Ye Wansheng waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright, spare me the old tricks, spending your days here masquerading as a snowman. While you can still live a few more years, hurry down the mountain to find a companion to spend the rest of your life with, otherwise, you’ve lived your whole life for nothing. We’re not gonna waste any more words on you; we’re leaving.”

After speaking, Ye Wansheng actually mounted his Spotted Demon Tiger and headed towards the outside of Cloud Gate.

The others thought it over and in the end decided to just go, pretending that the old man didn’t exist.

After exiting Cloud Gate, the mountain ranges began to slope downwards, and after extending out for about a hundred kilometers, the snow gradually disappeared.

Chu Mu and the others followed the snowy ground towards the green mountain ranges, but being new to the area, they clearly had no idea of the specific direction.

“You lot really think you can just say a few words and walk away, that’s too dismissive of this old man!” Suddenly, an angry roar came from behind them!

Following that, they saw the old man of Cloud Gate eerily floating in front of the five of them, clearly not intending to let them pass.

“Old man, you’ve arrived just in time. By the way, how do I get to Cloud Realm’s Border City? Is it in that direction?” Ye Wansheng asked.

The old man’s face grew even darker. Was this kid tired of living, just strolling past him was one thing, but now he even had the audacity to ask for directions!

“We are going to Cloud Realm to seek independence for Our New Moon Land. Since we want independence, old man, do you think we need to get a pass of some kind?” Chu Mu said.

“Independence? You want to carve New Moon Land out of Cloud Realm?” The old man of Cloud Gate was taken aback.

“Not carve out, but become independent. In the thousands of years of history of Our New Moon Land, there is no record about Cloud Realm. No matter what disasters we faced, we never received any so-called help from Cloud Realm. The entire development process was Our New Moon Land growing on its own. What right does Cloud Realm have to call themselves our rulers? Is it simply because we have become a Third-level Earthly Realm that can bring them benefits? What good is such a ruler?” Chao Lengchuan, who was well-versed in history, said seriously.

The old man of Cloud Gate’s face showed a trace of surprise. What had been said made sense because he was also very aware that prior to this, Cloud Realm had almost provided no aid or assistance to New Moon Land, and the governance had even become autonomous. It wasn’t until the opening of Yunmen and the discovery that New Moon Land had grown into a Third-level Earthly Realm that people were gradually sent to take over in the past few hundred years.

“Do you know that it takes more than just courage for a piece of land to become independent?” The old man of Cloud Gate spoke solemnly.

The old man of Cloud Gate could also see that these young people were extraordinarily strong, likely the best of New Moon Land, also representing the most powerful group of New Moon Land, but declaring independence is not simply about saying so.

“We will declare independence at the Divine Sect,” Chu Mu stated.

“Heh, declare independence. To declare independence would likely mean that on that very day, you might become slaves. The rulers of Cloud Realm will not allow such a thing to happen. Your only fate is to submit to the rule,” the old man of Cloud Gate said.

Independence of a Territory is quite rare, as there are hardly any that are willing to risk such a danger.

The strength of Cloud Realm is much stronger than that of Wanxiang Realm. Once they declare independence, they might very well be crushed by a large army!

“I’d advise you to just obediently go back,” the old man of Cloud Gate continued to say.

“When it was barren and disaster-stricken, no one cared. When flourishing, it immediately came under rule. How is that different from slavery?” Mu Qingyi snorted coldly.

The old man of Cloud Gate opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to refute it.

“You are young and powerful, but there is still a lot you don’t understand. I’ll give you five years to experience life in Cloud Realm. After five years, then consider whether you want your Territory to be independent. By that time, you might not speak such words anymore,” the old man of Cloud Gate waved his hand, no longer hindering them.

“Old man, how about a bet?” Ye Wansheng proposed.

“What bet?” the old man of Cloud Gate asked.

“If within five years we manage to achieve independence for our Territory, you will guard the gate for Our New Moon Land!” Ye Wansheng declared.
