Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 439 Feather Emperor
After crossing Daheng Ridge, Baiba Mountain lies ahead.

As far as the eye can see, isolated mountain peaks stand tall, their towering presence surging into the clouds!

Lush trees stretch out their thick branches, and when hundreds of towering peaks intertwine with the ancient vegetation covering the mountains, they form a high-altitude peak forest!
The magnificent natural landscape is hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains. It is hard to imagine unless you see it with your own eyes. The emerald green is level with the clouds.

Standing on the outside and looking up, you can see small dots of different colors swirling around the cliff edge covered with tree blossoms!

That's a feathered demon soaring.

Furthermore, a Feather Emperor is hidden in the sky above the Qinling Mountains.

The Feathered Demon Clan of Qinling is very strong, and its strength is no less than that of any other race or tribe.

Fortunately, the Feather Emperor was not an aggressive being; otherwise, the situation in China would have been even more dire.

At the same time, the more dangerous the place, the more enchanting the scenery. Just like here, there is the former Tianshan Cloud Cliff.

“Alright, let’s move on. We’re still below the lowest level of Tengguan Mountain, and there’s a long way to go,” Fang Yu said.

"What we're seeing now is only the Vine Crown Mountain layer, and it's the very bottom layer!" Mo Fan was surprised; this was a blind spot in his knowledge.

"Yes, besides the Vine Crown Mountain layer, there is also the middle layer, the Azure Wood Wind layer, where the wind is ever-flowing, and only those Great Feathered Demons can fly in this wind layer."

"Above, in the Cloud Realm, the Oath Tree is an ancient divine tree that connects to the Cloud Realm. In even higher areas, there is the territory where the Feather Emperor lives."

Fang Yu said slowly.

“In the Qinling Mountains, the higher the altitude at which a winged demon can live, the more extraordinary it is,” Zhang Xiaohou echoed.

“Indeed,” Lingling said. Before setting off, she had also studied a lot of literature about the Qinling Mountains.

Mo Fan was dumbfounded and said, "Perhaps only such a magical region can meet the living environment of the sacred totem..."

Then, the group continued on their way.

"Speaking of which, how are we going to climb up? If we just fly up, we'll probably be attacked by those winged demons in the Vine Crown Mountain layer immediately, right?" Staff Officer Xu asked.

“Follow me, I know a slightly safer route,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Thank you for your trouble, General Zhang," said Staff Officer Xu.

Zhang Xiaohou led everyone to the foot of a mountain ridge. In the eyes of the Feathered Demons, there were only areas at eye level and those higher than where they could fly; they paid no attention to the creatures that lived below. This made it much easier for them to enter the entire Paradise Forest of Baiba Mountain.

"This mountain is covered in vines. We'll climb up it, but we shouldn't use our flying ability unless absolutely necessary," Zhang Xiaohou said.

No one took this warning lightly; after all, everyone knew that flying here would inevitably provoke hostility from the surrounding winged demons.

Therefore, if there is no path when they are climbing, they can only rely on plant-based mages to use their skills.

"Lililili!!!!"

As they continued their ascent, suddenly, a group of winged demons spotted them and soared above them.

"Didn't we agree not to attack the lower levels? We haven't even reached that height yet!" Zhao Manyan cried out when he saw more winged demons appearing nearby.

“These are not powerful demons; some of them dwell beneath the Feathered Demon Paradise,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

"What should I do?"

"Nonsense, what else can we do but take action at a time like this?" Mo Fan said.

"Couldn't we go to another mountain first and start fighting?" Zhao Manyan looked at the open space around him, feeling somewhat afraid.

"If you're so capable, try communicating with them!" Mo Fan retorted. Just then, Fang Yu made his move, pointing diagonally upwards. Ice magic was instantly completed, and a vast expanse of ice and snow froze over an unpredictable area in front of him…

boom!
The next moment, amidst the frost and snow, the frozen feathered demon shattered and exploded, causing the sky to tremble slightly.

"This……"

When he made his move, the ice and snow spread, which shocked the members of the Forbidden Army and made them realize Fang Yu's extraordinary abilities!

"Can't you two just shut up and get over there now!" Fang Yu said speechlessly.

"A Super-Rank Mage, my foot! You're even more cowardly than me. You might as well just find a block of tofu and smash your head against it. You're just wasting your chance to advance to Super-Rank," Mo Fan complained to Zhao Manyan.

"There's a cliff right below, I had to find a safe area," Zhao Manyan explained.

"Alright, let's speed up and climb!" Zhang Xiaohou said.

“I’ll fly up first!” Zhao Manyan said.

"Brother Zhao, no! If you use the Winged Magic Tool at this time, it will definitely cause even bigger trouble," Zhang Xiaohou said.

"What the hell? I have a winged magic tool, so I can't fly?" Zhao Manyan said.

“Once you use the Winged Demon Tool, those winged demons in the sky will definitely attack you en masse, and then it will be truly over,” Zhang Xiaohou continued.

This is no joke. The Feathered Demons have a very strong sense of territory and will not allow anyone to set foot in their territory at all.

Zhao Manyan had a headache. The rope bridge was in grave danger after the attack and was about to break. Was he not allowed to reveal his wings and was he going to fall straight into the abyss?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Fan instantly brought Lingling to the opposite mountain.

Zhao Manyan shouted, "You heartless bastard!"

Fortunately, Fang Yu was drawing the attention of the Feather Demons, which greatly reduced their burden.

At this moment, Fang Yu made his move again, unleashing a massive surge of ice and snow power that swept across the sky, covering the feathered demons and making them feel as if they were being subjected to immense gravity!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Suppressed by the ice and snow, the winged demons immediately began to fall.

"Come on, hurry up and climb!" Fang Yu urged.

Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou were already rushing towards the other side of the mountain at an extremely fast speed, with the Forbidden Army following closely behind.

Then, seeing everyone cross over, Fang Yu instantly teleported and appeared beside them.

After everyone arrived, dealing with the winged demons became much easier.

The Forbidden Army's combat strength is not weak. Even if they are not as destructive as Fang Yu's forces, when they work together, they have a sense of being invincible.

Fortunately, there was a cave nearby, and they were temporarily freed after entering the cave.

Having avoided the troublesome winged demons, and after a long time when the demons dispersed, the group continued climbing the higher mountain until finally the Vine Crown Mountain world was above them.

The vine canopy is so dense that it almost forms a verdant island in the sky. Once you enter the vine canopy mountain layer, it feels like you are in a dense forest full of ancient vines that makes you lose yourself!
This world is a complete maze of trees and vines, making it difficult to find directions. Finding someone in such a place would probably be quite difficult.

"Do you know where the rescuers are?" Fang Yu asked.

“Once we get close to her, we’ll have a way to find her!” Ling Fei replied.
