Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 234 Opening the Mountain

Chen Hong waved his hand, and the flying sword automatically rose and flew backward.

Gao was so frightened that he clung tightly to the hilt of the sword.

Having lost Chen Hong as her support, Lü Zhi and Lü Su dared not stand any longer and quickly sat down to feel more at ease.

Once the flying sword had flown far away, Chen Hong took an axe off his belt.

It was a mountain-splitting axe.

His entire body surged with energy, roaring and surging like the Wei River, pouring into the axe.

The axe lit up, and countless talismans glowed with golden light, connecting to form a talisman array.

The axe blade, like autumn water in the dead of winter, reflected a white light, its sharpness unmatched.

Streaks of axe energy extended out from the mountain-splitting axe, condensing into a huge, sharp axe phantom.

This enormous axe phantom almost drained all of Chen Hong's energy; it was so huge that it was comparable in size to two football fields.

Gao Yao and the others in the sky were stunned.

Chen Hong swung his axe down fiercely.

Boom!

Rumble!

It was as if thunder had exploded across the entire sky.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered.

Endless rocks rolled down the mountain.

A crevice was cut into the massive Shouyang Mountain.

The axe was deeply embedded in the mountain.

"what!……"

Chen Hong desperately pulled out the axe, using his mental and telekinetic powers to control the energy.

His arms, neck, and entire body were covered in bulging veins, as if his blood vessels were about to burst at any moment.

He fiercely pulled out the massive energy phantom of the mountain-splitting axe before it collapsed.

Chen Hongfei flew into the air and swung his axe down diagonally again.

Boom!

Boom! ——

This time it wasn't just rocks that rolled down, but a large section of the mountainside, along with countless loose stones.

With his last ounce of strength, Chen Hong gently placed this part of the mountain on a sparse patch of wasteland at the foot of the mountain, managing to avoid destroying the mountain and its forests.

However, Chen Hong was also exhausted as a result. Not only did the axe phantom dissipate and his energy deplete, but his mental and spiritual power were also over-consumed, leaving him weak and listless.

Chen Hong collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"This damned law of heaven and earth, this magic-free environment is still too bad."

"It's a bit too much for me to handle this kind of big job."

"This mountain is really hard and heavy."

Chen Hong looked at the mountain platform he had carved out. It was empty, and the ground was made of high-density, flat stones.

Chen Hong got up, walked upstairs, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

He circulated his energy technique at full power, absorbing the energy of the sunlight overhead and the energy of the earth beneath him.

The Six Treasures Immortal Thief are fully activated, plundering the life force of heaven and earth to replenish themselves.

Rest and recuperate to quickly regain strength.

Meanwhile, Lü Su, Lü Zhi, Gao Yao, and the others in the sky were already dumbfounded.

Watching Chen Hong carve out a large chunk of mountain land with just two axe strokes, they were so shocked they couldn't speak.

Even when the flying sword descended and landed in the forest, blocked by the trees and out of sight, he remained speechless for a long time.

After a long while, I came to my senses.

Gao Yao gave a thumbs up, "I never expected that Chen Hong, this unremarkable security guard, would actually be such a powerful and reclusive master."

It's really awesome.

I misjudged it, I misjudged it.

Lü Zhi's mind was buzzing, filled with the image of Chen Hong wielding a giant axe and splitting mountains like a god.

He was so excited that his face flushed, his breathing became heavy, and his arms trembled.

"If I, Lü Zhi, am to marry, I will marry a man as upright and honorable as him!"

"Chen Hong, I want to marry you, I must marry you!"

"Chen Hong, you're mine, all mine!"

"No one can take you away from me, not even a chance!"

Many thoughts arose in Lü Zhi's mind. Having witnessed the splendor of that sky, she never wanted to return to the mundane world and engage in hypocritical dealings and petty squabbles with those ordinary people.

In this life, she will either never marry.

If you're going to marry, marry the best!

However, Lü Su's mindset was completely different.

She seemed rather forlorn.

"Such an outstanding man, such a god-like man, is it really something I can hope for?"

Am I just an ordinary woman worthy of such an extraordinary man, as if he were a god?

I don't deserve it.

I'm not worthy.

Lu Su was in pain, her eyes were moist, and a tear slid down her cheek.

She quietly turned away, wiping away her tears, not wanting anyone to notice anything amiss.

But the tears, as if disobedient, flowed uncontrollably, drop after drop.

His eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were red.

"Stop the tears, stop them!"

"Blood Vein, get back! I order you to get back! Don't come out! Don't come out!"

"Lu Su, you must be strong, you must be strong."

"Susu, what's wrong?" Lü Zhi finally noticed that Lü Su was acting strangely and patted her shoulder with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing." Lü Su finished fixing her makeup, turned around and chuckled.

"Maybe...maybe the wind was too strong and it was too high up in the sky, and I wasn't used to it."

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a moment."

Lü Zhi didn't want to delve into it; her mind was filled with Chen Hong, so she quickly pulled Lü Su away.

"Then let's hurry up and go see the young master. I can't wait to see him."

“That’s right!” Gao Yao suddenly clapped his hands. “Chen Hong, go see Chen Hong.”

I have so many questions to ask him.

This kid is so amazing and he didn't tell me.

They've become successful but haven't included me in their plans, honestly.

"Let's go, let's go!" "Ah..." Lü Su, being pulled along, turned around and looked at the giant sword on the ground. "What about this?"

The two sisters suddenly looked at Gao Yao.

Gao Yao was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself, "Huh? Me?"

The two sisters nodded in unison.

"Sigh, fine, I'll just accept it. After all, I'm the only man here."

Helpless, Gao Yao struggled to lift the heavy greatsword from the ground.

He carried the giant sword on his shoulder with great effort, like carrying grain on his back.

I almost stumbled from the weight.

He could only bend over, carrying the heavy giant sword, and barely follow behind the two little girls.

Fortunately, they walked slowly, stopping and resting frequently, and finally reached Chen Hong.

Chen Hong had also recovered 70% of his strength and stood up.

Gao Yao and the others looked at the stone platform, which was as big as two football fields.

Once you get a short distance away, you can see the sloping, flat mountainside overhead.

That was cleaved out by Chen Hong with an axe.

The sloping mountain blocked part of the sun.

It has a similar feel to the Sydney Opera House.

Immerse yourself in it and witness firsthand this vast, smooth mountain platform.

Only Gao Yao and others truly understood what it meant to be shocked.

"Amazing! Chen Hong, you're truly amazing!"

Gao Yao gave a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration and amazement.

"I never expected this, I never expected you to have such strength?"

I really underestimated you before.

Gao Yao suddenly pulled Chen Hong aside and asked in a low voice:
"Chen Hong, tell me honestly, did you receive some kind of inheritance from immortality, gods, or demons in this world?"

It's like the kind shown in TV dramas.

Chen Hong rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm the main character? That I'll just fall from the sky?"
"Don't you know whether this thing even exists in this godforsaken place?"

“Yeah, yeah.” Gao Yao blinked. “If this godforsaken place had all sorts of supernatural things, there’s no reason I wouldn’t have heard of them.”

"So, you already knew it?"

Chen Hong nodded.

"So, you're just experiencing life as a security guard?"

Chen Hong nodded.

"So, you've been playing dumb all along?"

Chen Hong nodded vigorously, without stopping.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he stopped. "Huh?"

"What do you mean by 'pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger'? I've never pretended to be a pig, nor have I ever eaten a tiger. What nonsense are you talking about?"

I'm not some kind of miracle doctor or dragon king, just a smirking fool.

"I'm just a security guard, working a lousy job, just trying to make a living."

"Good lad, so you really are a reclusive master!" Gao Yao said, getting straight to the point.

"Tell me quickly, how many reclusive cultivators like you are there in our area?"

"Oh, by the way, do you cultivate immortality?"

"Or something I don't know about."

"Look at me, can I cultivate?"

"Perhaps I, Gao Yao, am also a once-in-a-century genius."

"Ah, stop!..." Chen Hong interrupted Gao Yao's incessant chatter.

"You'll know these things later."

"The most important thing now is to get to work, okay?"

After Chen Hong finished speaking, he ignored Gao Yao and turned to walk towards Lü Zhi and Lü Su.

"Young master is truly a divine being."

Lü Zhi made no attempt to hide her praise for Chen Hong; her eyes were filled with love, almost to the point of being filled with longing.

Lü Su was much more introverted and reserved. She only glanced at Chen Hong a few times before lowering her head with a hint of self-consciousness.

"Zhi'er, Susu, wait a moment, I'll go cut down some beams."

"I'm going to build a palace here later; this will be my secluded place for cultivation."

When Lü Zhi and Lü Su heard Chen Hong address them so affectionately, their hearts trembled.

"Does the young master have feelings for me?"

The two women thought the same thing at the same time.

Even the insecure Lü Su felt a glimmer of hope.

"If... if you don't despise me, even if it means being shattered to pieces and going through countless hardships, I will bravely be willful this once!"

Lu Su raised her head, her gaze towards Chen Hong filled with anticipation.

However, Lü Zhi gleaned some other information.

"Young master, do you intend to spend your whole life in seclusion here?" Lü Zhi asked anxiously, "Why not enjoy a few more years of wealth and luxury?"

"With your abilities, young master, getting these would be a piece of cake!"

Chen Hong smiled and shook his head, "I have enough wealth and honor on my own."

"What matters is the evolution of life and the forces that determine everything."

"Zhi'er, it's time to broaden your horizons."

Lu Zhi pondered Chen Hong's godlike power in splitting mountains and the scene of flying and soaring through the sky.

Chen Hong turned around, mounted his sword, and flew into the distance.

In this Qinling Mountains, there are countless ancient trees and forests, including some that are thousands of years old. Chen Hong has no trouble finding suitable beams.

Chen Hong held a razor-sharp axe, and with one swing, he felled an ancient tree.

After cutting down dozens of ancient trees, Chen Hong used his telekinesis to drag the trees back to where he started.

Then Chen Hong set up the framework of a main palace in the center of the spot.

Then they went to find clay to fire bricks and tiles.

Build up the four walls.

To make the bricks bond together, Chen Hong also fired cement.

Chen Hong had already learned this knowledge in modern society.

Soon, Chen Hong had completed the main framework of a palace.

Then, under Chen Hong's telekinetic power, the palace tiles were quickly installed.

Lü Zhi, Lü Su, and Gao Yao witnessed Chen Hong's terrifying construction efficiency and were stunned.
