Chapter 6: The Terrifying Mortal Village

On the other side.

Mountain Embracing Sect, a pavilion-like building nestled among the peaks and rocks.

"Elder, Fifth Floor Master, this is how things are!" He Guang reported everything he had learned.

At this moment, in the center seat of the hall, sat a middle-aged man wearing a blood-red robe and a blood-red mask that concealed his expression.

Below him were two people, He Guang and the Elder of Mountain Embracing Sect, Yin Zhixiong.

After listening to He Guang's report, Yin Zhixiong furrowed his brows slightly. "In just a few days, he went from the mid Heavenly Core stage to the half-step Divine Core stage. Could it be the doing of the Elder of Sacred Fire Gate? Is he still alive?"

"That's impossible!"

Yin Zhixiong remembered hearing the screams himself outside the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains, and he had even been frightened by the unknown creatures within.

At this moment, the person sitting high above stood up slightly, his mouth curling into a nonchalant and cold smile. "Fellow Daoist Yin, now that I, Dao'er, have become the Seventh Floor Master of Blood Fiend Tower, do you still find this kind of minor matter surprising?"

"Heh... How could it be? Fifth Floor Master is absolutely right. I was just being overly cautious. The Sacred Fire Gate is nothing compared to our Blood Fiend Tower, just a speck of light!" Yin Zhixiong cautiously and flatteringly replied.

The Fifth Floor Master nodded and smiled. "That mountain does indeed have something. I had the Sixth Floor Master of the Tyrant Blade Sect explore it recently. If the Elder of Sacred Fire Gate is still alive and has somehow mastered this method of advancing cultivation, it would be worth it for me to personally pay a visit!"

The Fifth Floor Master smiled and looked in the direction of Sacred Fire Gate.

In the next moment, his entire figure expanded into a rainbow and silently disappeared from Mountain Embracing Sect.

"Elder, has our Mountain Embracing Sect truly become the Seventh Floor of Blood Fiend Tower?"

After the Fifth Floor Master left, He Guang asked with a joyful expression.

Instead of being angry about the sect being swallowed up, he was actually happy.

The reason was naturally because Blood Fiend Tower had mastered many secrets that the sect had never known before. These secrets were the terrifying means by which his cultivation had advanced.

"Yes!"

"The Seventh Floor!"

"I'm afraid that soon, there will be an Eighth Floor, Ninth Floor, Tenth Floor, and even more..." Yin Zhixiong said helplessly.

Compared to He Guang, he wasn't as happy.

...

On the eastern side of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, at the foot of a mountain, there was a village called Yellow Mud Village.

The villagers in Yellow Mud Village were simple and Xia Fan often came here.

The villagers liked Xia Fan very much because this young man was truly amazing. He taught many things that the villagers didn't know and even taught their children.

"Xiao Xia, you're here!"

After seeing off Liu Rushuang, Xia Fan, as usual, came to the village and someone greeted him.

Xia Fan nodded and walked towards a private school.

He had set up this school, and doing all these things was not just for fun. After all, the system world couldn't provide everything needed for three meals a day.

Xia Fan didn't dare to go to larger cities, fearing that he might accidentally encounter immortals who liked to fight. So Yellow Mud Village was the best channel for his daily needs.

"Teacher, what are we learning today?" As soon as Xia Fan entered the private school, Zhu Xiaoya, who had her hair braided in a sheep's horn, ran over curiously and asked.

"Today, we're learning how to draw. We'll draw the sun."

...

On the other side.

Three figures inexplicably arrived outside Yellow Mud Village.

"Cough, cough, Little Shuang'er, are you sure this is the mountain? How could there be mortals in this mountain? Liu Qingbai's face was filled with embarrassment. They had entered the forbidden mountain, so they should have confirmed that it was a mountain shape. How did they end up in a mortal village?

Moreover, according to reason, the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains should all be terrifying places. Why does this village look so ordinary and nothing like what the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains should look like?

"When Elder Yu and I came here before, we were obstructed by the Great Dao aura before we even entered the mountain. But it shouldn't be wrong. Could we have taken the wrong direction?"

Liu Rushuang pondered and spoke.

The Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains are truly vast. When coming and going, the connection to the sect's sacred object was lost. She should have left a mark.

But she didn't expect to dare to come back again, so she didn't leave so many precautions. She didn't expect that she really couldn't remember which direction would lead to the senior's dwelling.

"No worries, there are people living ahead. We can go and ask," Gu Tianxing said calmly, waving his hand towards the front.

The three of them saw a middle-aged fat woman pushing a cart, with a pile of crooked and cracked bricks inside.

With a crash, they fell into a pit.

"Heh, we have visitors today. Are you all from the city?" Aunt Zhu looked ahead, waved, and greeted them.

Liu Qingbai took another look at Aunt Zhu. He had noticed this woman when she spoke just now, but he was sure he hadn't seen wrong. He transmitted his voice, "She is indeed a mortal!"

After he finished speaking, Gu Tianxing took a serious look at the cart.

Suddenly, his cloudy eyes brightened.

"These bricks seem a bit unusual!" Gu Tianxing said, then politely bent down to Aunt Zhu and said, "Madam, may I take a look at these bricks of yours?"

Aunt Zhu was stunned. This old man looked like he was in his sixties or seventies and still called her "madam." It was a bit disrespectful.

Thinking about it, Aunt Zhu felt a bit angry. "Just a few broken bricks, what's there to see?"

Gu Tianxing didn't pay attention to Aunt Zhu's expression. His two cloudy eyes picked up a piece of yellow brick from the pit as if he had found a treasure.

As soon as it was in his hand, his expression immediately changed. "Indeed... this brick is truly extraordinary. It actually carries the aura of a sacred fire!"

Liu Qingbai also picked up a piece and said, "Senior brother, this brick seems to also have the aura of heavenly gold. I'm afraid its hardness is far beyond that of ordinary weapons!"

Boom!

Heavenly Core peak strength was exerted as he struck the crooked yellow brick, but it didn't leave a trace.

"Senior brother, you should try it too!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianxing, with his terrifying hand that seemed like a withered tree, also struck with all his strength!

Bang!

Hiss!

Although his power was immense and his strength was fierce, it seemed that just like Liu Qingbai, it didn't leave a single mark on the brick.

Instead, his hand was shaken off, with dried blood oozing out!

Seeing this scene, Aunt Zhu was dumbfounded.

These two people must be full and bored.

"These are bricks baked by Xiao Xia, who taught us in Yellow Mud Village. They are used for building houses. Do you think they are tofu?" Aunt Zhu said angrily.

"Two lunatics!"

Aunt Zhu said angrily.

These two old men were already quite old, yet they were performing such feats of strength in front of her, Zhu Cuihua, a young girl. Were they trying to extort her?

The more she thought about it, the more abnormal Aunt Zhu felt. She turned the cart and hurriedly pushed it towards the village!

"Xiao Xia?"

Gu Tianxing and Liu Qingbai exchanged glances.

"The place where the senior is located is called Summer Garden. She should be referring to the senior!" Liu Rushuang recalled and said.

"Hurry up!"

"That must be our ancestral founder!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianxing quickly followed.
