Chapter 2047: Chapter 1619: Divine Mountain Barrier, The Mystery of Jin Bao’s Birth

A group of six, plus a snot-nosed kid, and this woman actually tells him that among them, there are five masters of the Transformative Realm!

Although Jin Linchuan is not an expert, he’s like a teenage genius who practices martial arts. But this is the first time he knows that such legendary masters of the Transformative Realm, those so-called rare and elusive experts, can appear in such numbers…

And, they’re so young…

The youngster Linchuan doesn’t know why, anyway, he doesn’t doubt the truth of what Gu Changsheng said!

Perhaps because her demeanor is too casual, when mentioning masters of the Transformative Realm, it’s as if she’s casually talking about what she ate today…

It’s precisely this attitude that makes it more convincing!

Forcing the youngster Linchuan to believe!

“So, you tell me, can a mercenary group composed of five Transformative Realm masters be a real mercenary group? Although the Mercenary Alliance has extraordinary power in Smelting City, can they pull out so many experts at once just to escort a youngster into the mountain? Do you think it’s possible?” Gu Changsheng shrugged, spread her hands in a roguish manner, and said to Jin Linchuan, “So, youngster, it’s not you who chose us, but we who chose you, or more precisely, I chose you to be our companion on this journey!”

“…” Jin Linchuan looked at Gu Changsheng awkwardly, not knowing what to say to this extremely arrogant woman.

“Therefore, on this journey, no matter what you see, encounter, or how many doubts and questions you have in your heart, you must keep them to yourself. You just need to know that we won’t harm you, and as far as our ability allows, we’ll ensure you safely get out of the mountains. As for the rest, don’t listen, don’t ask, and don’t talk. Do you understand?” Raising her hand, she lightly pointed in Jin Linchuan’s direction with an inexplicable casualness, but it carried an intangible pressure, making one involuntarily submit.

Jin Linchuan, being just a teenager, even if he’s seen a lot, is still young, what kind of scene has he seen?

Under the subtle pressure released by Gu Changsheng, he instinctively nodded…

In fact, in Jin Linchuan’s heart, there are genuine doubts…

Because of the Witch Gu Horse, because of the Soul-Devouring Python, and more because of how Gu Changsheng and the others refer to themselves…

Gu Changsheng is fine; she doesn’t have any fancy titles, and her self-reference is quite down-to-earth and straightforward. But Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue are different. These two have a natural remarkable position, and their habit of self-referencing won’t change because of anything or anyone…

Calling themselves ‘this king,’ ‘this City Lord’ …

Such titles are spoken without much thought, but heard with intent, making Jin Linchuan naturally think a lot?

However, after Gu Changsheng clarified this matter, even if Jin Linchuan has doubts, he can only keep them to himself, because, before this group of experts, he has been chosen, not the one who chooses. Even if he is the employer, he doesn’t have the supposed superiority of an employer!

Although the youngster Linchuan hadn’t originally thought of being above…

“You’re a teachable child; I like obedient kids the most!” Gu Changsheng, seeing Jin Linchuan’s instructed expression, immediately felt happy…

After all, she is someone who’s a mother now; in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, Jin Linchuan, this melancholic handsome youngster, is just a kid who’s been hurt a bit and has some pain inside…

Jin Linchuan, upon hearing this, showed a slightly embarrassed expression…

“Dear, you scared him…” Yuan Bao, on the side, couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Humph!

Don’t think he didn’t catch it; his dear’s words contained a hint of semi-threat…

But it’s also good this way, or else, they still have a long journey ahead, and pretending all the time would be tiring, wouldn’t it?

Just like the topic of having money or not, Yuan Bao truly doesn’t want to go through this anymore!

“Say it plainly, to avoid unnecessary trouble! Let’s give our best, that’s it! Let’s continue on!” Gu Changsheng heard him, nonchalantly waved her hand, patted the baby Jin Bao in her arms, said, “Come on, little one, hurry and lead the way, we’ve entered the mountain two days later than Jin Luoyi and the others, as the local tycoon, you need to show us the shortcut!”

One has to say, Gu Changsheng has high hopes for the baby Jin Bao, even though she has the Geomancy Map given by Alliance Leader Yong Qing in private, she still trusts the baby Jin Bao more!

“Uh…a shortcut…” Hearing this, the baby Jin Bao hesitated while biting his fingers…

“What? Don’t tell me you don’t know? You are the local tycoon, after all!” Gu Changsheng glared, full of threat.

As a complete newcomer to the group, the youngster Linchuan couldn’t help being a bit stunned…

Well, being mercenaries and not knowing the way into the mountain is one thing, but asking a snot-nosed kid for the way, is this really okay?

However, embarrassment is embarrassment, doubt is doubt, but Youngster Linchuan still remembered Gu Changsheng’s earlier instructions—just pretend as if I don’t exist!

“Yes, I know, you’re looking for the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, right? I, Baby Jin Bao, know a path leading into the depths of the Divine Mountain. However, that path is quite difficult to traverse, and I, Baby Jin Bao, don’t actually know if the Divine Weapon Forging Tower is there!” Baby Jin Bao, under Gu Changsheng’s threat, had no choice but to speak truthfully.

“You speak without knowing! What’s the use of you? Besides eating and squandering, what else can you do? Huh?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression turned unfavorable, raising a hand to pinch Baby Jin Bao’s face twice!

Hmm, it feels good, soft and tender!

Like tofu!

Forced to ride the snake by Gu Changsheng, Baby Jin Bao had no choice but to let Gu Changsheng have his way, his little face filled with resentment, “I, Baby Jin Bao, really don’t know. In the depths of Divine Mount Qilian, there are special restrictions, even I haven’t reached them. If there’s a place in this mountain where the Divine Weapon Forging Tower most likely could exist, it would be the place I mentioned!”

While speaking, Baby Jin Bao also lifted his hand to pat his chest, with a confident certainty.

Can he be certain?

That’s his only purpose!

He doesn’t want Gu Changsheng to despise him; Gu Changsheng is his hope of Becoming a God!

“So, do you really know the location of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower?” Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

“If I, Baby Jin Bao, have guessed correctly, it’s definitely within that general area!” Baby Jin Bao nodded.

“What kind of barrier is it? Even you, a local tycoon, can’t get in?” Gu Changsheng furrowed his brows, contemplating.

“I don’t know! The barrier has existed since I, Baby Jin Bao, developed spiritual sense, and…” At this point, Baby Jin Bao hesitated, lowering his head again, “Moreover, I was born at the edge of that barrier. The original form that nurtured my birth is precisely part of the periphery of that barrier…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng and the others decisively turned their heads, looking at Baby Jin Bao with uncertainty.

Gu Changsheng and the others knew Baby Jin Bao’s identity, but Jin Linchuan didn’t, so…

Upon hearing these words, who knows how Jin Linchuan felt; in any case, the more chaotic it was, the more chaotic it felt to him, completely unable to understand what Gu Changsheng and the others were discussing…

What barrier? What local tycoon? What spiritual sense? What nurturing?

What is all this about?

Jin Linchuan felt a strong sense of misplacement, as if he and these people were not from the same world at all…

Baby Jin Bao hesitated a moment, then lowered his head again, continuing, “More accurately, I have suspected before, that perhaps the reason for my birth is due to the existence of that barrier. But, I can’t find the reason; the barrier is too powerful. Not even me, let alone humans, can pass through…”

As Baby Jin Bao spoke, he raised his head with concern, his little face full of confusion, “That’s why, knowing you plan to go into the depths of Divine Mount Qilian is why I’m so worried. The barrier there has surpassed what I can comprehend; furthermore, there are connections to my birth. Even I, Baby Jin Bao, dare not easily touch it… I don’t know what we’ll face taking you there. That place, hidden in the recesses of towering mountains, has powerful restrictions, filled with the unknown…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng narrowed her eyes, staring at Baby Jin Bao for a while, then contemplated, “You’re suspecting the barriers of that place are related to your birth? But you also said that in The Post-Ancient Era, you are the only Spirit you know, so what kind of enormous secret is hidden in the depths of Divine Mount Qilian that such a strong barrier would appear?”

The first Cold Iron Key, Gu Changsheng found on the No Return Path beneath No Return Cliff.

There, she saw the sealed secret on No Return Path…

She learned of the existence of the War of the Gods at the End of the Ancient Wilderness…

Then, what kind of secret is hidden at the location of the second Cold Iron Key?

A presence like that on No Return Path, killing invisibly?

Or could the restriction that allowed Baby Jin Bao to be born actually be related to the already vanished Ancient Wilderness Times?

If not, why, with The Heavenly is Flawed, in the Sacred Mountain where a Spirit shouldn’t have been born, did Baby Jin Bao emerge?

Gu Changsheng puzzled endlessly over these matters, vaguely feeling as though an invisible hand had already mapped and designed the path she was meant to take…

Unbeknownst to her, she was staggeringly moving forward along the predetermined trajectory…

Gu Changsheng raised her head, looking at the vast mountains, her expression bewildered; she didn’t know if it was just her illusion or if there was indeed some manipulation by those behind the people of the Sand Sea. In any case, this feeling of being played like a puppet continued to linger in her heart, becoming increasingly apparent…
