Chapter 106: Initial Entry to the Sacred Mountain

“Chirrup…”

The little rabbit rubbed its eyes and staggered up from the ground.

It lowered its head to look at itself and was stunned.

Its belly, which had been full just now, had become flat!

This didn’t make sense!

If not for its master standing beside it, the little rabbit would wonder if it hadn’t woken up.

It raised its little head doubtfully and looked at Bai Wushang.

　(｡◕ˇ∀ˇ◕)

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it.”

Bai Wushang speculated that it was nothing more than the Energy Conversion of food after comprehending the skill. There was nothing to worry about.

His focus was on the strength of Milky Way’s skill.

What kind of an effect could it produce?

In the hallway of the living room, the Demon Ape and Milky Way were standing facing each other in confrontation.

“Roar!”

“Chirrup!”

The two beasts used the Gaze of Terror at the same time!

Different from the Demon Ape, the Little Rabbit’s pupils didn’t change much when it used the Gaze of Terror.

Its starry and silvery pupils were still as beautiful as usual.

Two beams of faint light hit the target like lightning.

As a bystander, Bai Wushang couldn’t help but hold his breath with a stunned expression.

It was far too different from what he had expected. When the Demon Ape’s Gaze of Terror hit the little rabbit’s body, it did not take effect at all and disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.

As for the Demon Ape, its enormous body seemed to be frozen. It became glassy-eyed for about three to four seconds before it gradually became clear-headed.

It shook its head vigorously and spent a few more seconds to dispel those dark scenes from the bottom of its heart before getting its breath again.

The Demon Ape lowered its head to look at the little rabbit in confusion.

“Why?”

“Why could it defeat me easily?”

Ah Zhou’s head was full of question marks.

“Chirrup!”

The little rabbit, who realized it had won, became extremely happy.

It jumped up high and knocked its head against the ceiling before falling again. It forgot everything in its joy and continued to enjoy itself on the ground.

(*>∀<)ﾉ))★

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“I didn’t expect the Big Guy can’t rival me!”

“It turns out that I am so powerful!”

Bai Wushang stood still and stared blankly for a moment. Subconsciously, he counted the rabbit’s skills carefully on his fingers:

“Multiple Shadow Moon Doppelganger, Super Moonlight Baptism, and Super-strong Gaze of Terror… HMM… this little guy, it seems all its skills are beyond my cognitive domain…”

When something happened repeatedly, the limit of his receptivity would also increase.

Bai Wushang gradually figured it out.

This little rabbit’s Bloodline Quality was a level higher than Ah Zhou’s. Therefore, no matter how amazing its skills were, it seemed like he could accept the fact.

After that, he tidied up the messy equipment on the table.

It was still early, so Bai Wushang decided to go to the Sacred Mountain.

He wanted to personally see what the most precious treasure of this academy was like, as well as its remarkable efficiency in promoting the Pet Beasts’ growth and the Masters’ Cultivation.

..

Mountain and Sea Academy, Area 11, Teleportation Hut.

It was a special building with an ordinary appearance, and the inside led to the mystic realm of the Sacred Mountain.

There were many similar buildings in this academy, and these buildings had been officially opened to the new students from yesterday.

After checking the wristwatch, Bai Wushang stepped into the formation under the supervision of several members of the Discipline Team.

The next moment, his body sank into the formation and his eyes blurred.

The sense that was similar to the desolation after autumn rain seeped into his heart.

“My goodness, isn’t this too magnificent…”

Some students who were traveling with him regained their senses first. After looking around and far into the distance, they exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Wushang focused his gaze and saw an unimaginably huge grayish-white mountain range. It was towering and majestic as if it was higher than the sky and wider than the earth. There was not a hint of greenery but endless desolation and bleakness in sight.

There were altogether three mountain peaks. From the front to the back, they ranged from low to high, forming a straight line. The higher they went, the thicker the fog became, making it difficult to see clearly.

Countless grayish-white light spots surrounded the first mountain peak like flies. They were either stationary or flying upwards at a constant speed.

“Is this the Sacred Mountain?” Bai Wushang was filled with curiosity and a hint of excitement.

When he looked around, he found he was in a camp. There were more than a dozen stone houses around him, which were plain and unadorned.

Many students were coming and going. Most of them were in a hurry and rarely talked to each other.

Not far away, a senior with short rosy hair shouted, “Come, gather around. New students who came here for the first time gather here. If you have any questions, I will answer them all!”

Bai Wushang walked up by following a small group of people. He noticed that this fast-speaking senior was introducing the rules and precautions incessantly.

It turned out that climbing this mountain was the core cultivation method in this mystical realm.

The higher one climbed, the longer one stayed on the mountain, and the more benefits one would reap.

“The first thing I want to say is that only Pet Beasts can benefit from climbing this mountain. It’s useless to the Masters. However, the Spiritual Energy here is more abundant than that in the outside world. The masters can stay with their Pet Beasts by renting a ‘Floating Rock Monster’ for free. In this way, you can protect your Pet Beasts. On the other hand, you can enhance your Soul Power through meditation. The higher you climb, the better your Soul Power cultivation will be.”

“Senior, why can we increase our strength by climbing this mountain? How does it work?” Someone asked.

The senior with short rosy hair pursed her lips. Suddenly, she said as she raised her arm and pointed at the mountain above her with her finger,

“There is a natural ‘Force’ here. All extraordinary creatures who start climbing will gradually feel the increase in gravity, which will slow down their movements.”

“Secondly, this ‘Force’ can penetrate the soul and get involved with the hidden heart. Therefore, everything can feel it, including mortals with flesh and blood and special beings like the ghosts and spiritual monsters.”

“Under the pressure of this ‘Force’, the potential of the Pet Beasts will be stimulated, and their growth speed will be increased. At the same time, it could also temper the Pet Beasts’ temperament, or enhance mutual trust between the Masters and the Pet Beasts. All these are its advantages.”

Bai Wushang, who listened attentively, changed his expression slightly when he heard that.

“Advantages?”

“In other words, it also has disadvantages, right?” he pondered.

As expected, the senior threw cold water on them immediately.

“… However, the Sacred Mountain is dangerous. It is not an ordinary mountain as it has a ‘Mountain Soul’!”

“You can think of it as a special extraordinary creature. You climb up this mountain and gain advantages. This is a ‘gift’ that it gives. Within a reasonable range of pressure, there won’t be too much of a problem.”

“But if the Pet Beasts are unable to withstand the pressure of ‘Force’, then this gift will no longer be a benefit but a curse known as ‘Greyness’. Its effect is similar to Petrification. The Pet Beast, whose body will be turned into greyish-white stones, will die eventually.”

“There is no way to heal this kind of injury, even if you take back the Book of Oaths, You can only call for help and pray that the mountain patrol squad could arrive in time, which could give you a slim chance to save your Pet Beast. If the squad fails to arrive in time, what you can do is just wait for its death.”

After thinking for a while, the senior said,

“One more thing. This Force suppresses the potential of Pet Beasts. To ensure the healthy growth of the Pet Beasts, don’t challenge the Sacred Mountain frequently. If your Pet Beast has a good foundation, you can do it twice a week. but if the foundation is not good enough, you can do it once a week. This can be judged by the ‘Grey Spot’… Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough Mystic Energy…”
