Chapter 60 - Breaking Through The Fog
After a long while, the game ended.
The elder who was defeated waved his hands, disinterested, mumbling to himself. “I don’t feel good today. I will let you win today, let’s play another game tomorrow.”
The elder placed his hands behind his back, with his palms facing upward, walking leisurely back to the village.
The remaining elder had rosy cheeks and looked energetic. He picked up the chessboard, while looking at Su Zimo, smiling as he said, “There are very few young men who are as composed as you. Let’s go, follow me to the village.”
“Thank you, grandpa.”
Su Zimo smiled, expressed his gratitude and followed the elder into the village.
On the way, Su Zimo passed by several villagers. They gave him a glance before returning to whatever they were doing. They did not find it odd, they seemed to have become inured to the unusual.
It was a strange feeling.
Su Zimo did not sense any danger with his spirit perception.
However, he had indeed heard the sounds made by the spirit beast and detected its aura coming from that direction. Su Zimo spent one year in Cang Lang Mountain Range. The smell was too familiar. He would never be mistaken about it.
“Weird.”
Su Zimo murmured and continued to move forward.
“Roar!”
Soon after, there was a loud tiger growl. It was deafening and it had a formidable aura. It proved that the spirit beast was very powerful. It could even be of the same level as a spirit demon!
Su Zimo frowned.
Logically speaking, if there was a powerful spirit beast or spirit demon in front of him, Su Zimo should be able to sense the danger with his spirit perception.
However, strangely his spirit perception could not detect anything, while his senses kept telling him that there was danger.
In this case, there could only be two possibilities.
The surrounding fog had shrouded Su Zimo’s spirit perception or that it had confused his five senses.
The answer was obvious.
These methods were meant to scare off those who wanted to take the path of immortal cultivation or those who were weak-minded.
The tiger growl and the bloody smell were just methods to deceive people.
After figuring out the purpose of the thick fog, Su Zimo smile and ignored all the sounds that he heard from the surroundings, walking deeper into the fog without any care.
Nevertheless, it was a brilliant move to make use of the thick fog to confuse one’s senses.
If Su Zimo did not have spirit perception, he would be trembling in fear and taking careful steps along the way.
Su Zimo gradually sped up and he walked out of the thick fog in no time. Everything became clear in front of him.
As far as the eyes could see, there were verdant and lush vegetation, clear waters and green hills. It was full of vitality. He felt as if he was in the immortal world.
There was a stone gate not too far away.
At the back of the stone gate was a mountain road that was paved with green stones. The path winded around the mountain and led all the way to the deep, dark end of the fog.
On the two sides of the stone gate stood two young smart-looking children who cultivated Dao. One of them was plump while the other was thin.
At the sight of Su Zimo, the plump child smiled and nodded. “Young Master, you are the first to reach. Please wait here. We will only open the gate and accept disciples three days later.”
Su Zimo was not in a hurry. He waited by the side silently.
Many people kept coming out from the fog. Most of them were mortals who had not been cultivating. They looked pale and beads of perspiration could be seen on their forehead. It seemed that they were scared stiff during the journey.
Some of them were Qi Refinement Warriors who maneuvered flying swords to break out of the fog. They breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the stone gate.
A few Qi Refinement Warriors swept their gaze over Su Zimo. They relaxed slightly upon knowing that he had no spirit qi.
Some Qi Refinement Warriors took a glance at the bow and saber that Su Zimo had with him and sneered. They could not help but smirk.
There were people from all walks of life.
