Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

Immediately, Yunxuan and the other four bowed slowly to the old man, performing a standard knightly salute.

The old man slowly swept his gaze over the five people in front of him, his eyes lingering slightly longer on Yun Xuan and Long Haochen, before calmly saying, "Show me your credentials."

"yes!"

The two men handed their credentials to the old man for inspection, and the old man nodded slightly in approval.

When he saw Ye Hua's credentials, he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Their gazes toward Yunxuan and the other person held a hint of inquiry.

After verifying the documents, the old man gestured for the three people to come forward so that their bone ages could be checked in turn.

After confirming that the bone ages of all three individuals met the requirements, the elderly man nodded.

Immediately, he flipped his wrist and took out three special tokens, saying, "These are Sacred Mountain Sensing Tokens. You must carry them with you at all times after entering the Sacred Mountain..."

"The time limit is thirty days. After thirty days, regardless of success or failure, you will all be teleported back. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!" Guiwu, Long Haochen, and Yunxuan replied in unison.

Then, the old man looked at Yunxuan and the other person and added, "You two are different. With your talents, you can have an extra privilege. If you don't find a suitable mount within these thirty days, you can try your luck with the teleportation array."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Yun Xuan and Long Haochen thanked the old man again respectfully.

The two then entered the Holy Mountain of Knights together, but separated after entering.

Stepping onto the sacred mountain is like entering another world.

The bright sunlight shone down, carrying the fresh scent of plants, and he was at the foot of a mountain.

Ahead lay a primeval forest, with incredibly thick trees rising from the ground, their trunks at least forty or fifty meters high.

"Puff puff puff—"

Startled by Yunxuan's footsteps, a bird with colorful feathers took flight from the nearby bushes.

But it only glanced at Yunxuan curiously, without showing any hostility or panic, and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Yun Xuan's heart stirred slightly. In the outside world, the relationship between magical beasts and humans is mostly tense and hostile, and more than 80% of the time they will take the initiative to attack when they meet.

But in this sacred mountain of knights, the magical beasts seem much gentler.

"This Holy Mountain of Knights is truly a magical place," Yunxuan exclaimed sincerely.

Afterwards, Yunxuan headed deeper into the Knight's Holy Mountain.

Regardless of whether or not to choose those monsters, one should still take a look first. If they are truly suitable, then there is no need for him to take the risk.

Upon entering Knight's Holy Mountain, the terrain is complex and visibility is limited. The first thing to do is to climb to the top of a relatively high peak as soon as possible.

Only when you reach the top of the mountain can you roughly determine the direction. Generally speaking, the closer you are to the center of the sacred mountain, the stronger and more powerful the magical beasts living there will be.

The vegetation in the mountains and forests was too dense, with thick vines and tangled bushes.

Yun Xuan frowned slightly, then took out the longsword behind him, and the power of shadow quietly flowed and poured into the longsword in his hand.

Immediately, he flicked his wrist and swung his sword forward!

It then transformed into a condensed, almost tangible crescent-shaped slash, sweeping across an area of ​​several feet in front of it.

"Whoosh—"

After clearing a smooth path, Yunxuan quickened his pace.

With the physical strength and endurance brought about by his terrifying external spiritual power, climbing a small mountain several hundred meters high was a piece of cake.

In less than ten minutes, he reached the top of the mountain.

During his climb, he also encountered several magical beasts that lived in the forest.

The token briefly flashed with yellow and green light, indicating that it was a level three or four magical beast, but it was clearly not suitable as a mount.

Over the next twenty days, Yunxuan traversed almost every corner of the core area of ​​the Holy Mountain and encountered many powerful magical beasts.

He first encountered a level 8 peak unicorn, and then found several other level 9 magical beasts, but none of them were suitable.

The thirty-day deadline passed day by day.

Yunxuan sat on a rock by the river and sighed, "It seems that this Holy Mountain of Knights... is really not suitable for transmigrators."

Since that's the case, he can only try his luck with the teleportation array.

It would be best to get a mount, but if you can't, it's not a big deal. His ninja army is much more useful than a mount.

If all else fails, he'll just have to make do with the Flying Shadow Legion.

For long-distance flights, the Flying Shadow Legion can be relied upon; for long-distance ground travel, the Giant Shadow can be used to pull the carriage.

Flying Shadow, Giant Shadow: Are you being polite?

Thirty days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the very last moment of the last day, the black token that had been dormant in the hands of Yun Xuan and Long Haochen was revealed.

Almost simultaneously, a dazzling reddish-gold halo rippled out!

The next moment, the two returned together to the outer perimeter of the entrance to the sacred mountain.

The two exchanged a glance and saw that the other was completely alone, without any magical beast companions. Both of them showed a hint of helplessness.

Before they could even exchange a word, an anxious yet familiar voice rang out: "Haochen! Yunxuan!"

Ye Hua rushed forward in one stride, his face filled with disbelief.

Thirty days have passed. For a full thirty days, Yunxuan and Long Haochen have not teleported out on their own initiative, which means that they have not found a suitable mount.

But how is that possible?

Based on his understanding of these two disciples, especially Long Haochen's pure Light Child physique, he should be thriving in the Holy Mountain and highly favored by magical beasts!

Although Yunxuan's situation was somewhat special, the spiritual power of light he displayed was also extremely pure. How could it be that no magical beasts showed any interest in him for thirty consecutive days?

This makes absolutely no sense!

The disabled old man was also there. Seeing that the two of them were teleported out alone, he frowned slightly, a hint of doubt showing in his single eye.

He had lived a long life and witnessed countless geniuses enter the sacred mountain.

However, it is extremely rare for two boys with such outstanding talent, who have reached the level of a Great Knight at such a young age, to both return empty-handed.

At less than fourteen years old, he already possessed the cultivation of a Great Knight. Those magical beasts should be vying to become his companions!

Is it because his standards are too high?

The old man guarding the mountain asked with some doubt, "You two have such good talent, how come you haven't gained anything? Are those magical beasts blind? That's really strange."

His tone conveyed more incomprehension and regret than doubt.

Yun Xuan said, "Hao Chen and I have some special physical constitutions, so they probably wouldn't dare to form a contract with us."

The old man seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Yunxuan's words made some sense to him.

After all, their talents are obvious, and the magical beasts of the Holy Mountain are generally spiritual beings.

The most likely explanation is that some high-level magical beasts with the strength to form a contract with such a genius backed out for other reasons, while those who lacked the strength simply felt unworthy.

This has created a situation where people are neither good enough for high-end jobs nor good enough for low-end ones.

But in reality, there are no magical beasts in the Holy Mountain qualified to form a contract with the two of them.

"I have guarded the sacred mountain for many years, and I have never seen such a situation before," the old man said slowly, his tone tinged with emotion.

At this moment, Yunxuan spoke again: "Old sir, since there are no suitable magical beasts in the Holy Mountain for the time being, we would like to... try our luck with the teleportation array left by the ancestors of the Holy Mountain and try to select a mount companion through it."

The old man nodded and said, "Using the teleportation array for random summoning is indeed your only option at the moment, and it is in accordance with the rules."

But then he changed the subject, saying, "However, you shouldn't have too high expectations. The summoning is random, and often the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall some long-forgotten events, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

The old man then said no more, and with a wave of his sleeve, a layer of golden light enveloped the three of them.

The group then arrived at a cave, which was enormous. Looking up, the ceiling was at least twenty feet above the ground.
