Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2240: Chapter 2241: Mount Bu Zhou!! (Second Update)

Xue An didn’t waste words and continued to stride forward.

Similar to how it began, with each step forward, flames shot up to the sky. But under the suppression of that strand of Red Lotus Karma Fire between Xue An’s brows, they all obediently gathered into lotuses for the three to walk upon.

Soon, the three of them had ventured deep into the lake.

At this time, the color of the lotuses had turned to a blue hue close to that which had just incinerated the Spirit Stone to nothingness. Nonetheless, once stepped upon, no heat could be felt.

Yet no one would doubt the terror of these flames.

Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but say, ”Before even reaching the center of the lake, these flames are already so terrifying. What color will the flames ahead be?”

”I guess they might be black! After all, the color of these flames has been gradually deepening along the way!”

”Not necessarily, I think black deepens into white; perhaps they’ll be white!”

The two began discussing the color of the flames, while Xue An said not a word, striding forward boldly.

Indeed, the color of the flames began to intensify, changing from blue to deep blue and finally to a shade resembling dark green.

At this point, Yue Qinghuan and Zhu Zhesheng fell silent.

Because here, the flames were nearly black, and even when condensed into lotuses, they still exuded a terrifying aura, suggesting an unimaginable temperature.

When the color of the lotuses turned completely black, the journey was more than halfway through.

Xue An suddenly stopped in his tracks.

”What’s the matter?” Yue Qinghuan immediately asked.

Xue An took a deep breath, feeling the delight and anticipation of the Red Lotus Karma Fire between his brows, then said in a deep voice, ”Nothing, just a bit astonished!”

Yue Qinghuan was somewhat stunned.

From the first time she met Xue An to their arrival at the Sky Beyond the Skies, this was the first time Yue Qinghuan had heard Xue An utter the word ’astonished.’

She had even thought Xue An would forever maintain an unchanging demeanor in the face of a crumbling mountain, never feeling astonished.

But now, what was there to be astonished about?

Yue Qinghuan was a bit bewildered.

Meanwhile, Xue An continued to stride forward.

This time, when the flames condensed into lotuses, the color seemed to lighten slightly, but the aura was even stronger.

Soon, after dozens of steps, the color of the flames had become nearly pure white.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire between Xue An’s brows was even more restless, and if not for Xue An’s repressing, it might have flown into the lake by now.

Yue Qinghuan and Zhu Zhesheng were perplexed, as they did not know that the Red Lotus Karma Fire Xue An used now was originally refined from two types of flames.

And one of those flames was the nearly pure white flame beneath their feet.

At that time, this so-called Divine Flame, a pure white flame, was acquired by Xue An under extremely accidental circumstances.

Even though it was just a wisp, tiny as a candle flame, it possessed unmatched power.

With it, Xue An had successfully achieved the position of Immortal Venerable in his first life.

Back then, Xue An believed this flame to be an extremely rare Strange Fire.

But beyond all expectations, upon arriving at this Fire Cultivation Field and seeing the boundless ”water surface” before him and the lotus beneath, purely condensed from pure white flame,

even Xue An was speechless.

This feeling was akin to an unsophisticated old farmer taking his most prized possession to the Imperial Palace, only to find even the floor tiles here were more valuable than his treasure, filled with a sense of defeat and powerlessness.

However, Xue An did not dwell in this feeling for long. He took a deep breath, calmed the restless Red Lotus Karma Fire, and continued striding forward.

At this moment, the towering mountain was already in sight.

The closer they got, the more they could feel the enormity of the mountain.

It was like a giant towering up to the sky, filled with an oppressive presence.

As they approached, they could vaguely see some buildings standing at the base of the mountain.

This invigorated the three of them, prompting them to quicken their pace.

In the blink of an eye, they had traversed a vast area of water, and when the color of the Flame Lotus had become nearly transparent, they finally saw the buildings on the opposite shore.

Xue An said in a deep voice, ”Prepare yourselves, fly over!”

”Alright!”

Once again stepping onto the lotus, the three of them lifted their bodies, instantly flying across this stretch of water, landing on the ground.

At the moment they landed, all three were ready to defend themselves against enemies.

Contrary to expectations, the surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sign of expected traps, mechanisms, or guards.

Only then did Yue Qinghuan breathe a sigh of relief, while Zhu Zhesheng glanced back only to see the lotus they had crossed still there, appearing somewhat hesitant.

”Mr. Xue, are we just leaving these lotuses here?”

”Why? Any problem with that?”

”Uh...no problems, of course, but if the Zhai Family were to arrive....”

”Don’t worry, if they don’t walk on these lotuses, fine. But if they do, it will certainly give them a big surprise!”

As he spoke, Xue An lifted his head to survey the buildings before him.

It was evident these structures were originally meant for human habitation, complete with taverns and teahouses, resembling a small town.

Yet now the town was desolate and empty, not even a breeze, like a dead zone.

As the three passed through the main street of the town, Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but frown.

”Strange, if this immortal sect’s abode were abandoned, why is everything in this town so orderly, without the slightest sign of a struggle?”

”Yeah! I just saw a tavern with its door open, wine bowls on the tables, yet not a single corpse! It’s as if everyone in this town just vanished into thin air.”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhesheng couldn’t help but imagine the terrifying scenario, giving him a chill.

But Xue An remained silent, quickening his pace with a stern demeanor.

The town wasn’t large, and soon they traversed it, arriving at the foot of the mountain.

Only up close did they realize the entire mountain was fiery red, as if it had been roasted by fire, with a stone path winding upwards.

But Xue An’s attention wasn’t on these; he lowered his head, examining the mountain’s base where it met the ground, showing a thoughtful expression.

”What’s wrong?” Yue Qinghuan looked down for a long time but saw nothing peculiar, so she asked.

”Don’t you feel this mountain seems incomplete, like... it’s just half the mountain placed here!” Xue An said in a deep voice.

Yue Qinghuan and Zhu Zhesheng were shocked and immediately looked, indeed finding something unusual where the mountain met the ground.

It truly seemed as if it had just been placed there.

Zhu Zhesheng said in a trembling voice, ”If it’s just half as tall, how high must the original mountain have been? And who could have the capability to break it and place it here?”

Xue An didn’t reply, but instead ascended the steps, striding upward.

The other two followed closely behind.

Their pace was swift, and in the blink of an eye, they reached a halfway point, where a platform appeared before them.

Atop the platform stood an archway made of flawless jade.

Though the arch was dilapidated, the plaque remained.

On the plaque, in extremely ancient script, were three large characters.

Mount Bu Zhou!

Seeing these three words, Xue An was struck as if by lightning, suddenly frozen in place.
