Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 221 Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain, the Strange Beast White Serpent Blocks the Way
Tianshan.

This is an extremely ancient mountain range that combines the diverse beauty of heat and cold, desolation and beauty, grandeur and refinement.

Its terrain is extremely high, almost reaching the sky.

Xu Qing and Zhang Laodao walked forward, the biting wind blowing like a cold knife, yet it couldn't lift the corners of their clothes.

Both of them were the strongest people in the world, and their protective true energy was so powerful that this bit of cold wind could not penetrate their bodies at all.

Walking on the snow leaves no trace; truly, you leave no footprints in the snow.

"The Misty Peak is just ahead."

After spending several days, Xu Qing and Zhang Laodao arrived near the Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain, where they could see the towering, cold peak that resembled an iron tower.

The Tianshan Lingjiu Palace is located on Piaomiao Peak, a fact Xu Qing remembered very clearly.

"This peak is rich in spiritual energy; it must be a unique peak of heaven and earth, an excellent place for cultivation!"

When Zhang Laodao looked up, he could clearly feel that the spiritual energy of Misty Peak was much stronger than that of other peaks.

Xu Qing smiled. Tianshan Lingjiu Palace is a Taoist sect, and the location chosen for the sect was naturally carefully selected.

Moreover, he knew that the true lineage of the Xiaoyao Sect was from an even more ancient sect.

The founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyaozi, only found the ruins of his ancestors, which enabled him to establish the Xiaoyao Sect.

The two continued toward Misty Peak. The Lingjiu Palace was not built on the summit of the snow-capped mountain, but rather in a warm and humid area on the southern slope.

Just like that secret realm in the Kunlun Mountains, the temperature and environment are incredibly pleasant, with no hint of cold.

Xu Qing and Zhang Laodao ventured deep into the southern foothills, where lush vegetation and fragrant flowers filled the air, and a spiritual energy of heaven and earth, ten times stronger than that of the outside world, rushed towards them.

Old Zhang couldn't help but exclaim, "What a paradise on earth, a peerless secret realm!"

Just stepping inside is enough to refresh your mind and body.

The magnetic field and atmosphere of this place are incredibly comfortable, making it the best place in the world for cultivation.

Xu Qing nodded slightly; this place was even more suitable for cultivation than the White Ape Secret Realm.

"Truly worthy of being the land of a great sect hundreds of years ago, it is indeed remarkable."

Old Zhang also vaguely noticed that the arrangement of the rocks in this place was extremely mysterious, subtly in harmony with heaven and earth, as if it were a kind of formation.

He had once created the True Martial Seven Intercepts Formation and had some knowledge of formations, so he could see that the arrangement in front of him was extraordinary.

"This formation seems to have the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. No wonder the spiritual energy here is so abundant!"

After observing for a while, Zhang Laodao figured out the effectiveness of this formation.

Xu Qing was also able to see these things; his martial arts skills were profound, even surpassing those of Zhang Laodao.

The arrangement before him could not escape his discerning eyes. However, this formation was indeed profound, and only someone extremely skilled in the art of formations could set it up.

"This formation is extremely ingenious. If we can master it, it will definitely become a major foundation for the sect," Xu Qing said.

Master Zhang nodded in strong agreement. The two exchanged a smile and decided not to rush into deeper areas. Instead, they decided to stay here and study the secrets of this spirit-gathering formation in order to master it.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qing completely understood and mastered all the secrets of the formation.

Old Master Zhang remained engrossed in his work, while Xu Qing waited quietly without disturbing him.

An hour later, Zhang Laodao finally withdrew his gaze.

"Brother Xu's comprehension is indeed far superior to mine," Zhang Laodao said, looking at Xu Qing with admiration in his eyes.

When Xu Qing finished his meditation, he naturally noticed it.

Xu Qing smiled slightly; his comprehension was not particularly strong to begin with.

However, after so many years of training and martial arts practice, coupled with the help of the [Enlightenment Moment] function of the [All Heavens Gate], Xu Qing's comprehension has been greatly enhanced.

Even without the aid of the [Moment of Enlightenment], Xu Qing's comprehension is far superior to that of those peerless geniuses, and even his disciple Zhang Wuji cannot compare to him.

When Xu Qing was comprehending that formation, he did not activate the [Enlightenment Moment].

He mastered the formation before Zhang Laodao entirely through his own comprehension!

"Let's go. We've already gained so much from just one formation. The true inheritance of the Free and Unfettered Sect must be even more amazing!"

Xu Qing said that he knew in his heart that the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect were even more powerful than many of the world's top divine skills.

Some even refer to this sect as a sect of immortal cultivation.

This demonstrates the profound level of martial arts in this school.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang felt a surge of anticipation. As a seeker of the Dao, witnessing even more profound martial arts techniques was naturally exciting and something to look forward to.

The two passed through the stone forest and came to a row of steps, a full hundred steps.

Above the steps, a vast expanse of white mist covered everything.

But one could vaguely see the shadow of Gong Yu.

Xu Qing was slightly pleased. The shadow of the palace still existed, which most likely meant that the inheritance inside still existed!

The two exchanged a glance, stepped onto the stairs, and headed towards the palace.

For the two of them, the hundred-step staircase was a matter of moments.

After climbing the steps, a sudden gust of wind arose!

What greeted them was an extremely foul stench, which caused Xu Qing and Zhang Laodao to quickly move aside and avoid the stench.

Zizizi!
A foul stench wafted down, like drops of poison corroding the steps.

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, and the next moment a giant python nearly a hundred meters long rushed out of the mist, its blood-red maw wide open, sharp fangs dripping with venom, as it charged towards Xu Qing.

"brute!"

Xu Qing snorted coldly, clenched his fist and punched straight down, the force of his fist exploding and slamming into the giant python's head.

The giant python was instantly sent flying backward. The force of the punch stirred up a gust of wind, clearing away the mist and revealing Gong Yu's exact appearance.

The giant python crashed down in front of the palace gate, roaring.

"What a magnificent, strange python!"

Old Zhang was astonished, looking at the nearly 100-meter-long giant python, which was truly terrifying.

Such a massive size is truly unprecedented.

"Truly extraordinary!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the python, which was pure white with shimmering scales. On its head were two bulge-like things.

"To be able to withstand the force of your punch and survive, this giant python must have a very strong physique!"

When Zhang Laodao came to Xu Qing's side, he knew all too well how powerful and invincible Xu Qing was.

Even though that punch was just a hasty, casual one, it was still extremely powerful, strong enough to make a grandmaster change color.

However, the giant python remained vigorous, and the spot on its head where it had been punched only showed slight marks.

There wasn't much damage.

At this moment, the strange python stared coldly at Xu Qing and Zhang Laodao, but did not immediately launch an attack.

Clearly, it possesses considerable intelligence and has sensed that Xu Qing and Zhang Laodao are not ordinary individuals.

“This guy is even more formidable than your white ape,” Old Zhang said.

He had also seen Xu Qing's white ape, which was capable of fighting a grandmaster and possessed formidable combat power.

But the giant python in front of us was a full hundred meters long, and its size was terrifying.

Its strength and defense have reached an extremely formidable level.

Xu Qing nodded; the white ape was indeed not as powerful as the snake at present.

Given the snake's current condition, Xu Qing was almost starting to suspect that the two bulges on its head might actually be horns!
A snake's head with horns—this is a sign that it is about to transform into a dragon.

This demonstrates the high level of evolution of this strange beast.

I'm really going to become a monster!

"It seems that before we search for the inheritance of the Free and Unfettered Sect, we can still enjoy a meal of snake meat!"

Xu Qing suddenly laughed.

Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

This snake is so powerful that its entire body must be a treasure.

It is indeed an exquisite delicacy!
