Chapter 1419: Chapter 374: Finally Arriving at the Sixth Province (Part 4)

"We’d definitely just be killed outright by those cruel, powerful monsters."

"So in this situation, I wonder if Senior could take us straight out of the Black Mountain clusters to someplace else. We juniors are willing to pay a huge price in money, treasures, elixirs, and so on!"

Yuchi looked at the person in front of him. "Putting the other stuff aside for now—where exactly are you trying to go? And what are you going there to do?"

His eyes narrowed slightly. "You’re not planning to head to the lands where war is raging, then find a way to make a pile of money from that war... and that money happens to come from slaughtering common folk, are you?"

His meaning was really simple: if these people were going to the Sixth State to run wild, he definitely wouldn’t bring them over. He could control himself and not harm the common people, but he had no idea about others. So to prevent that kind of thing from happening, he’d rather see these people die here in the Black Mountains than take them out.

Yin Shuang didn’t care about the man in front of her at all. In her eyes, there was only Yuchi.

Her gaze now fell into the Black Mountains under their feet. These Black Mountains were like human hair—so fine and slender, like strand after strand of hair growing up out of the earth, thin, long, and sharp.

And all across the Black Mountains you could see countless marks left behind by battles. Many "hairs" had already been destroyed, while many others were completely draped with piles of bones.

This place was absolutely not for people with trypophobia; the way these Black Mountains grew was far too dense. This wasn’t a normal grand mountain range at all, but some bizarre, freakish combination of things. Some of the Black Mountains were even slowly swaying, practically like monsters that had come alive.

Of course, the cure for those phobias was very simple: just place a big basin full of glittering gold right in front of them. The instant they see those golden granules appear, they’ll be cured on the spot.

The Male Cultivator was completely panicked now, stammering and hemming and hawing.

For the moment he had no idea how to answer; he just wanted to take out his money and beg Yuchi to help him.

Yuchi only gave him a single look.

"You still haven’t gone far. If you turn back now, there’s no problem. Otherwise, if you insist on pressing forward, what’s ahead isn’t just this single layer of Black Mountain clusters—there are many more behind it."

"So firstly, with your current cultivation, I really don’t recommend going out there."

"Secondly... you understand what I mean."

With that said, he had no intention of lingering. He drove the Jade Ship at full power, dragging along a roaring torrent of Spiritual Qi, and sped away at a heart-shaking pace.

The Male Cultivator only caught a glimpse of that figure flashing past through the torrential rain. When he tried to look again, there was no one left at the scene.

"What terrifying strength."

"He’s at least a Cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage!"

...

For the two of them, this was nothing more than a minor episode.

A few days later, the pair successfully left this Black Mountain chain. Once they came out of the Black Mountains, the Fourth State unfolded before their eyes. If they were just traveling for fun, they really could have stayed in this great state; it had its own collection of powerful things. But they simply didn’t have the leisure now. Someday, when they don’t have to worry about anything around them, they can still come out and travel everywhere.

As they rushed along, their own strength was rising at a crazy pace.

His Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation was being explosively dragged upward by a Feather Transformation Stage cultivator and an Enlightenment Stage cultivator at the same time. Three months later, in April of the year 992, Yuchi had already crossed the entire Fourth State and arrived before another stretch of Black Mountains. By this time his cultivation had reached the thirteenth tier of Divinity Transformation. Three months later, after passing through the Fifth State—by July of 992—his cultivation had already reached the third tier of Enlightenment.

His speed was getting faster and faster.

Even so, they still took plenty of wrong turns. He truly had never been here before; their speed was great, but they had no sense of direction at all, which meant they were running around for nothing. Earlier, when Cai He brought Lu Qingyin here, they only spent a little time on the road. Their cultivation wasn’t as strong as his, but knowing the route was what really mattered. Sometimes one detour cost them an extra month, and going there and back ate up two months just like that.

Over these six months, Yuchi and Yin Shuang had traversed who knew how long a distance. They had no time to slowly enjoy the scenery, though some things were still obvious at a glance.

Now, standing before the last cluster of Black Mountains, Yuchi had no intention of stopping.

"Yes, the closer we get to the lands where war is raging, the more cultivators we see in the sky. Back home, there were never this many powerful cultivators flying overhead. But once we got here, powerful people keep showing up right beside me every now and then."

"I even saw someone with a cultivation roughly on par with mine. He took a look at me and I took a look at him. We didn’t say anything, but from our eyes you could clearly see that same flashing surprise."
