Chapter 1417: Finally Arriving at the Sixth State (Part 2)

Secondly, cultivation is truly an insurmountable chasm. Without cultivation, no matter how many skills are unleashed, there’s simply no way to break the defense.

This scene is all too familiar, just like when I played online games in my past life. As an ordinary player, I encountered a cash-rich boss surrounded by hundreds of players, yet the boss didn’t lose a single health point. Yes, that’s how it is in reality. The key is that if the boss retaliated, that would be something, but the cash-rich boss just stands there calmly. When more players gather, the boss leaves leisurely, not out of fear, but boredom.

It’s exactly this feeling.

It’s already become part of the gaming experience of being a cash-rich boss!

Lastly, the resilience of these monsters’ life force is formidable. Even though I’ve severed half of its leg, under the nourishment of the Black Mountain, this damage is insignificant. The wound heals swiftly, with black flames burning at the wound, growing and spreading gradually, until the severed leg finally regrows completely.

But in just this one hour, the initiative to seek out monsters demonstrated this.

If the skull is directly chopped off, they have no way of recovering. However, they defend their skulls very carefully.

Here, due to my overwhelming cultivation, I can easily and effortlessly kill the opponent; otherwise, if a single Nascent Soul Stage cultivator first arrives here and suddenly encounters a fellow Nascent Soul Stage Blood Monkey, this Blood Monkey could easily kill the cultivator in a short time.

Thinking of this, Yuchi realized there’s no need to linger any longer. With a wave of his hand, the Spiritual Energy Burst shook his opponent fiercely.

A drizzling blood-red mist appeared before him, quickly washed away by the torrential rain from the sky.

Blood Monkey: Finally free, thanks for the Spiritual Energy Burst, my friend.

Inside Black Mountain, the flying sword is originally of little use. Given its small size, the Jade Ship is deployed. Yin Shuang leans beside the Jade Ship, while outside, the wind howls, and rain pours as lightning flashes and thunder roars. Inside, however, it’s calm, with only the occasional rustling sound.

The rustling isn’t the sound of Spiritual Qi in motion, but the rain pattering against the barrier.

Yuchi returned to the Jade Ship in Yin Shuang’s gaze: “Let’s go, Shuang’Er, let’s leave here directly. For our current cultivation, Black Mountain is nothing to fear, especially not this shallow part of it.”

The truly formidable Black Mountain is in the Fifth State.

The Black Mountain is like a drop of dark ink splattering on white paper. What they’re passing through now is just a line formed by the splattered ink, unrepresentative of all the creatures within Black Mountain. Just this line alone contains monsters with the cultivation of a Yanyin Device. Imagine how powerful the monsters in the dense ink deep within must be?

Yin Shuang laughed adorably: “Yuchi brother, should we just ignore them now?”

She said this while her cute eyes were fixed behind them, towards the horizon, where several cultivators were floating. These cultivators followed them in, staying at a reasonable distance, quietly waiting.

…

Not far away, those cultivators sensed the gaze from Yuchi and Yin Shuang, causing the leading cultivator to tremble.

My ancestors, they found us, they indeed found us.

A female cultivator said anxiously: “What should we do? Do we continue following them forward? Or should we head back? The power that monster exhibited just now is beyond our ability to contend, and we’re just Spirit Storage Stage cultivators!”

Indeed, none of them have reached the Nascent Soul Stage, yet they want to explore beyond. But they can’t traverse the Black Mountain Pass, so their only option is through Black Mountain. They thought they’d be safer together, able to watch out for one another and safely pass through the Black Mountain range, but now they see they wouldn’t make it alone.

This time, it’s thanks to the help of this cultivator that they carved out a path. Otherwise, they’d likely have been slain by the monsters already, with no chance to fight back. The creatures here absorb the essence of Black Mountain, giving them terrifying combat capabilities!

Another female cultivator added, “Yes, let’s turn back. The others seem uninterested in these monsters now. If they fly forward at full speed, we’ll soon be left behind. Once we reach the heart of the Black Mountain range, it might be too late to retreat.”
