Realms In The Firmament

Ye Shangxin casually said, ”That isn’t quite honest. It is the 753rd time you said so to me since we first met. However, you have never been able to touch me even one finger. For as long as I can remember, you’ve had my lessons many times! Let me give you a warm warning. If you want me to torture you, you better find some other words to say. I am bored with what you just said. It is dishonest!”

The two clans were sworn enemies. Their men could start a quarrel inside a dense fog. It began when they were in the first layer. Now as they were in the second layer, it seemed they weren’t going to stop yet…

Even though they were in the foggiest place filled with spiritual qi, they still wouldn’t shut up.

The others were just listening to them at the beginning. In the end, some Li Clan people said a word first, and then a person of Ye Clan replied. That was it. It upgraded. In the end, twenty men started a chaotic quarrel.

Urh… A quarrel.

Longer as they disputed, the more energetic they became!

They seemed enjoying it, but Ye Xiao was so annoyed.

It was the first time he ever saw clans like these two.

They obviously hated each other so deeply into the bones. They wanted each other to die in pieces so bad. However, they barely fought each other with their lives…

All they did was squabbling and squabbling.

They always squabbled like they couldn’t be angrier, yet never truly started a fight for decades…

”Unbelievable!” Han Bingxue and Ye Xiao looked at the sky and made a long sigh. Maybe they were praising?

Maybe they were. When they listened to the quarrel, they found one thing that was quite impressive. They would say all different kinds of abusive words but never insulted any females or ancestors of each other. No matter what they said, they never humiliated them.

”Why don’t they abuse each other’s ancestors?” Han Bingxue was curious. ”No ancestors? No mothers? It has always been abusive words against one’s mother out there…”

As he asked, the people of both clans stopped abruptly. They were suddenly quiet.

Li Chongshan awkwardly said, ”We are just trying our best not to insult their families. Once we do, maybe this is going to be a life and death conflict… We surely want to kill each other, but we don’t want to risk our lives. Lives for lives. That is not wise… So…”

Han Bingxue and Ye Xiao were both shocked.

”Unbelievable!” they shouted at the same time. Believe it or not, that was definitely a praise!

It was the first time they had ever heard of such a theory.

[You guys hate each other. You compete against each other. You cultivate yourselves like crazy to become stronger. You search for medical materials like crazy. You would sacrifice almost everything to raise the power of your clan. However, you never actually fight, but just open your mouths and abuse each other like women…]

[The reason is that… you are all afraid of death!]

Ye Xiao couldn’t be more wordless.

[Holy heavens!]

[The world is peculiar indeed.]

[Truth is always beyond imagination!]

[More importantly, one of the two clans is Ye Clan, my father’s clan…]

After an awkward silence, Ye Shangxin said, ”We truly want them to die… We do want to fight and take revenge. However, we two clans are both on the edge of collapse. If we start the fight, we will be weakened… I am afraid that will be benefiting others.”

”Our clans… can’t afford any loss anymore.”

After that, Li Chongshan and Ye Shangxin made a long sigh together.

Ye Xiao was speechless.

[Holy heavens. I heard that Ye Liangchen and Li Qingzhou were shouting about how powerful Li Clan and Ye Clan were among the strongest forces in Oracle District. Were they lying? Were both clans already in a desperate situation?]

He was lost in thoughts. Suddenly, something lit up in front of them…

[Hmm? The second layer is ahead.]

This was his first time to come to the second layer of the Mountain of All Medicines. He felt something lighting up in his sight. The fog was disappearing. It was still foggy, but a huge garden seemed to show up in his sight. Every piece of the boundless green and all the splendid colors filled his sight.

The second layer of the mountain was actually just like a huge grassland. Standing in this place, he felt like they were no longer standing on a mountain.

His face looked calm, but he was stunned inside his heart.

[This is definitely not just a mountain… There must be something behind the scenes.]

[Does this mountain create its own world inside as the myth says?]

[If it is not a self-created world, it must at least be a self-created space!]

The first layer had a huge area, however, it was much smaller than the second layer.

The second layer was at least twice bigger than the first!

That was against nature’s rule…

Normally, the lower layer should be broader than the upper ones. However, from what he could see, this mountain was in an opposite situation. What he saw were all true. No matter how experienced Ye Xiao was, this place was too strange for him. The only explanation he could think of was a self-created space!

However… If this was true…

How broad should the third layer be?

Twice bigger than the second?

What about the fourth?

Even bigger? That was unbelievably huge!

There was an important question about this mountain. How many layers did the mountain have?

Ye Xiao felt terrified just thinking about it.

[What is the secret buried in this Mountain of All Medicine?]

Not many things in the world could terrify Ye Xiao. This was his second life after all. However, this mountain actually terrified him! That was some negative emotion he hadn’t felt for a long time!

Twenty-two men entered this layer. They were not as careful as earlier anymore. It suddenly burst into chaos in the second layer. All kinds of beasts ran and flew away in a panic.

Countless animals were running among the colorful plants…

There were actually many level three and level four spiritual beasts among them.

As they could see, the animals were running away like the ebb tide… moving far away…

What a grand scene!

It seemed they had gotten used to it for a long time. Watching the animals fleeing, they were emotionless. They just kept doing what they should do and ignored it.
