561: C561 burning mountain

C561 burning mountain

The poison trap laid by the old barbarian cultivator should have been the same as the poison technique he had used to escape from this place. If Yang Junshan was not mistaken, these two poisons must have been created by Yang Junshan himself.

Yang Junshan was caught off guard and followed along. He was angry, so he burned the crown of the tree. The fire was also an effective way to suppress most of the poison.

The branches that were already withered to the point where they would only need a little bit of spark to start burning. The strength of the fire caught Yang Junshan and Daoist Master Qingfeng somewhat unprepared.

Luckily, Yang Junshan was quick. He pointed his right index finger, and a crystal clear thread went straight through the raging fire, entangling itself around that lightning log, turning the treetops around into ashes. That lightning log was not afraid of the fire, but it lost its branch and was lifted up by Yang Junshan's Ice Silk.

"This fire has to be extinguished!"

Daoist Master Qingfeng saw that the fire could no longer be controlled. He looked at the mountain full of peach trees and said with some pity, "Otherwise, the fire would have completely destroyed the entire area."

"It's already ruined!"

The white frost in Yang Junshan's eyes flashed and then disappeared. He could see clearly that as the biggest thousand-year-old peach tree on the mountaintop completely dried up, the entire peach forest on the top of the Red Mist Mountain also withered. The huge peach trees that were originally growing became dry skin and hung on the branches.

Yang Junshan realized that he shouldn't have been able to see the peach trees at the foot of the mountain even with the cold spiritual eye. At this moment, he noticed that the peach blossoms covering the entire Red Mist Mountain had become much thinner.

Daoist Master Qingfeng rose into the air and gathered the clouds in the sky above the Red Mist Mountain. Soon after, a heavy rain began to fall.

To be able to reach the level of Yang Junshan and Daoist Master Qingfeng, calling the wind and summoning the rain within a certain range was not a difficult task.

However, Adept Clearwind still underestimated how close the flames were to the extremely dried up peach woods. The torrential rain only slightly suppressed the flames, but the flames still continued to stubbornly burn on the branches and expand.

"It's too late. I'm afraid the peach trees on this mountain can't really be preserved. It can be said that they've been destroyed by you and me."

At this moment, the fire had already started burning along the huge peach tree to the surrounding peach trees that were connected to its leaves. Unusual mountain fire was already unavoidable.

In fact, it wasn't impossible for the two of them to extinguish the fire with all their might. After all, this was just an ordinary mountain fire. But, that would require the two of them to waste a massive amount of true essence, energy, and time on it.

"Come to think of it, what happened to cause the peach trees in the entire Red Mist Mountain to wither?"

At this moment, Daoist Master Qingfeng also noticed the weakening of the Peach Blossom Barrier and the withering of the peach trees.

Daoist Master Qingfeng was also a quick-witted person. He immediately came up with Yang Junshan's guess, "It can't be because of the Peach of Immortality, right?"

The reason why the peach forests were like this, was so that they could form a whole mountain, it was to support the creation of the Peach of Immortality. Once the Peach of Immortality was picked, it would take away the vitality and essence of the entire peach forest, thus the whole forest would be buried along with it.

There were too many heavenly and earthly treasures in the cultivation world that were formed this way to gather the heaven and earth essences to support their own bodies. However, the activity of this Peach of Immortality was too big, it only increased their cultivation by ten years and their lifespan by ten years, yet it absorbed the life essence of the entire mountain's Peach Tree.

Since Yang Junshan could think of this, Daoist Master Qingfeng could also think of it. He then asked, "Earlier, you and that witch suddenly fought, was it not because of this reason?"

Yang Junshan glanced at him and said, "You want to ask if Immortality Peach is in my hands?"

Adept Clearwind was embarrassed, but he didn't deny it.

Yang Junshan said straightforwardly, "To be honest, I don't know. At that time, everyone was in a hurry to pick the peach as much as possible, and the Peaches of Immortality were hard to identify. No one knows if they were picked by themselves."

Yang Junshan paused for a moment, and said: "But at that time, that witch seemed to have recognized that I had the Peach of Immortality, and directly pounced towards me to attack. But when I saw her, she was also in a daze, I don't know if she intentionally let go of the suspicion that she got the Peach of Immortality, or if she really didn't get it."

Daoist Master Qingfeng smacked his lips and said, "In this forest, there are probably thousands of peach trees that withered just for a single Peach of Immortality. Could it be that this Peach of Immortality far surpasses the effects of the legends?"

Although Daoist Master Qingfeng didn't say it out loud, he was very likely to have confirmed that Yang Junshan had obtained the Peach of Immortality.

Yang Junshan didn't bother to explain and said, "Or maybe this thousand-year-old peach tree gave birth to more than one Peach of Immortality."

Adept Clearwind's eyes lit up. "But it isn't impossible!"

The Red Mist Mountain had already turned into a sea of fire, and from afar, it looked like a huge torch. Even though the Icy Jade Mountain Range was filled with miasma, it could not withstand the red light that filled the sky that was reflected dozens of miles away.

The two of them were about to leave the Red Mist Mountain when they saw the huge peach tree at the top of the mountain finally collapse under the blazing fire. Even though the huge tree trunk had been burnt to pieces, the moment it fell down, it still brought up some thick roots from the ground.2

Just as the two were about to leave, Escape suddenly froze. Daoist Master Qingfeng muttered to himself, "The forest is withered and never dies. What a vigorous life force."

Yang Junshan nodded in agreement, "I am afraid that hundreds of years later, the Red Mist Mountain will still be the Red Mist Mountain."

Yang Junshan still didn't say the second half of the sentence, but both of them were well aware that after hundreds of years, the burned peach forest would grow again. At the top of the mountain, there would still be giant peach trees covering the entire mountain, and there would still be Peaches of Immortality growing on the trees.

Tens of miles away, outside of a cave, a six feet long, one foot and five inches in diameter, cylindrical thousand-year old lightning tree was placed in front of the two of them.

"How is this separated into two? Is it a horizontal or vertical slash?"

Daoist Master Qingfeng, who was riding his magic treasure, asked as he gestured around Lei Mu.

"Alright!"

Along the way, sparks flew along with flashes of lightning, and countless pieces of wood that flickered with lightning light were thrown out from the middle of the wood. However, all of them were collected by Yang Junshan; these were all materials that could be used to set up an array.

"As expected of a precious spirit material, even a piece of wood is so hard to cut."

As Adept Clearwind spoke, he took one of the pieces of Thunderwood in his hand, a look of delight on his face.

Yang Junshan calmly held the other piece of wood in his hand and said with a smile, "Now that the matter at the Red Mist Mountain has been resolved, we shall part ways here. See you later."

Daoist Master Qingfeng thought for a moment and then said, "Hey, are you really not a disciple of any big sect?"

Yang Junshan smiled, "I'm afraid not many people believe that you are a rogue cultivator, right?"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Daoist Master Qingfeng said seriously, "I am not satisfied with Brother Yang, this time I am a Damascus State cultivator and have come to the Liangyu Mountain to secretly track the cultivators of the Golden Gate. As for the news, this one came to the Liangyu Mountain and found out that there may be a large number of rare treasures in the Liangyu Mountain.

"The Golden Gate?"

Yang Junshan looked surprised, "Someone had entered the mountain a long time ago?"

Yang Junshan had entered the mountain almost immediately after the large-scale movement had just occurred. Since the Jin Gate was far away in Damascus, there was only one possibility for them to be able to reach the front of Yang Junshan. Before the Liang Yu mountain range had begun to move, the Jin Gate had already entered the mountain.

"According to my knowledge, many large sects have already received the news beforehand and sent their disciples to infiltrate the Liangyu Mountain Range. A few days ago, there was a large movement in the Liangyu Mountain Range. I presume that this is the reason why Brother Yang entered the mountain."

Although Yang Junshan didn't ask what the big sects that Daoist Master Qingfeng mentioned were, but at least he knew that sects with forces like the Southern Three Prefectures of the Liangzhou Prefecture definitely didn't know of this news. In other words, those sects that knew of this news were definitely above the three Southern Prefecture sects.

Furthermore, it was said that each of the three sects had cultivators at the Supreme Astral Realm overseeing them, and their powers were even above those of the three sects. In other words, the great sects that Daoist Master Qingfeng spoke of, were they all powers with cultivators at the Dao Realm overseeing them?

Seeing Yang Junshan's dark expression, Daoist Master Qingfeng was not sure if Yang Junshan would agree. Just as he was about to ask again, Yang Junshan refused, "I'm very sorry, but it's not that I don't want to join hands with Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, but I still have two days to spare, so I'm afraid I can't go with you."

When Daoist Master Qingfeng saw that Yang Junshan had refused, he looked slightly disappointed. He could only say, "Fine, then we will meet again in the future."

Seeing Daoist Master Qingfeng's flying light disappear into the vast mountains, Yang Junshan's eyes seemed to be jumping nonstop. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

In fact, the sects had already known that there would be a huge change in the Coldjade mountain range. They had already entered the mountain!

Then what was the reason for the alien cultivators trying to seal the mountain outside the mountain range?

Yang Junshan suddenly felt that things were getting complicated and confusing. He thought that he could make use of the opportunity and gain some benefits before the other sects entered the mountain, but it seemed that he had been too shallow.

No matter what, he had to return to the valley to prepare the Giant Monkey Tribe.
