Realms In The Firmament

If there were one or two hyper-nine spiritual beasts, it wasn’t a desperate situation yet. For example, Xuan Bing could easily handle such a situation as easily as she tortured Han Bingxue!

However, even though she was able to torture Han Bingxue, it wouldn’t be easy if she needed to fight against Xiao Monarch, Jun Yinglian, and Han Bingxue at the same time. At least, it wouldn’t be a landslide. It was the same when she fought the hyper-nine beasts. She could easily kill a single hyper-beast alone easily, but if she encountered a group…

Xuan Bing had mentioned it before that she had met a group of hyper-nine beasts when she searched deep in the third layer. She quit the search because of it. Wu Fa was also forced to quit when he was in the third layer.

According to Xuan Bing, she and Wu Fa both didn’t enter the fourth layer.

That was enough to prove how horrible the third layer was!

It was exactly the utmost limit of power in Qing-Yun Realm!

”Oh, right. How many layers does the Mountain of All Medicines have in total according to the knowledge of your own clans?” Ye Xiao was moving his hands fast inside the fog and calmly asked.

”The Mountain of All Medicines is what you outsiders call it. We native people call it Heaven Treasure Mountain.” Ye Shangxin looked steady. He didn’t seem impatient at all. ”The reason why we call it Heaven Treasure Mountain is… according to what our ancestors imparted, when this mountain came from the sky, there was a stone in the first layer that said ’first layer of heaven’.

”The second layer had a stone with ’second layer of heaven’ on it. Nobody has ever seen a stone in the third layer because nobody explored it. I am not sure if there is a stone like that in the third layer. However, I believe there is…

”Every layer of the mountain is fully planted with all kinds of medicines. Every single one is a treasure. That is why we call it Heaven Treasure Mountain. However… we don’t know how many layers are there in total. Nobody has ever fully explored the mountain after all. It is something no human being has ever achieved in the world.”

Ye Shangxin sighed and continued, ”Brother Ye, I believed you have heard about this… People in Oracle District are always weaker than people in other districts. The beasts in this mountain are so powerful. As we go up, the beasts will be more powerful. We don’t want to recklessly go somewhere we don’t know enough since we might set free some high-level spiritual beasts, especially those beyond level four… We truly don’t know whether people in Qing-Yun Realm are enough to feed the beasts in here…”

Ye Xiao’s face twisted.

[Enough to feed the beasts?]

[That is… creepy. It makes me feel cold on the back.]

However, it was true and honest. The beasts in the third layer were powerful enough to stop Xuan Bing and Wu Fa from going up. The beasts in the upper layers should be more horrible!

Suddenly, Ye Xiao moved one of his hand to grab Erhuo out from the Boundless Space and put it into his clothes on the chest like it was a doll.

”You are awake now, aren’t you? Time to work.” Since he would have to face all those powerful and unknown beasts, he could certainly make use of this ’primal spirit in chaos’!

According to what it had done in the past, it must be fairly useful in such a situation.

How could Ye Xiao not send out his most powerful weapon in this life and death situation?

He did it so quickly. Even Ye Shangxin, who was standing right in front of him, couldn’t see what he just took out from his hand. He only saw a mass of soft and furry thing being dragged out and put into his clothes. He didn’t know what it was at all…

The only thing he could be sure of was that Ye Xiao calmed down again after a short moment of anxiety, like he had just acquired something to make sure everything was right!

[What is going on?]

Suddenly, a dense mass of fog which contained rolling spiritual qi suddenly rushed out from Ye Xiao’s arms. Everybody was covered by the fog all of a sudden. They couldn’t even see their own fingers again.

”The third layer is opened!”

Ye Shangxin shouted excitedly.

It had been a long time since somebody opened it the last time. However, Li Chongshan and Ye Shangxin still remembered what it looked like when it was opened.

Ye Xiao withdrew his hand, in which there was a black ring in the palm. Nobody saw it.

It was quite simple to open the entrance though. Behind the fog, there was a small hole. He just put his hand into the hole and touched a ring before wringing it… That was it. The third layer was opened.

However, it took him a long time to find the ring… He just didn’t touch it!

When he felt it had taken too long and he still couldn’t touch anything, he got nervous. He started to operate East-rising Purple qi with both his hands and fluttered his hands. Surprisingly, the ring came into his hand itself…

He wrung it and the entrance was opened.

He was totally blank about what just happened. He told them he could get in because he was lying!

He just wanted to get in and check what the secret was.

It turned out he had won a lottery.

[Could it be a connection between this Heaven Treasure Mountain and my East-rising Purple Qi?]

Suddenly, a door was slowly opening in the dense fog. Han Bingxue didn’t hesitate and stepped into it. Ye Xiao got in after him.

Ye Clan’s ten people saw the door opening and hurriedly walked into it. The last of them seemed intentionally standing at the entrance for a longer time than he needed.

It pissed the Li Clan people off so much. They were raging up with filthy words coming out from their mouths.

In fact, they were doing something useless.

In the third layer, the fog was so dense that even if there was a man standing in front, one might not recognize his face.

When the door of the third layer was opened, waves of the sounds of beasts roaring came over to them like thunderclaps.

Han Bingxue’s face changed. He hurriedly drew out hissword and held it tight in hand. - Clang! -

Who was Han Bingxue, a muddle-headed man in front of Ye Xiao and Xuan Bing, but actually one of the real powerful figures in Qing-Yun Realm. He was brilliant in both experience and eyesight. The roar of the beasts sounded in rhythm. Whatever made such a sound were absolutely not just some ordinary spiritual beasts. If he had to fight one, he wouldn’t worry at all. However, what terrified him most was that there seemed to be more than one, or a few… It seemed like there was a crowd!

How could he not panic when he realized what was ahead of them?
