Chapter 665 - Bold Mortals
“Fine! I’ll hold you to it! Just wait!” With that said, Yun Tianhe ran toward the Coiled Dragon Pillar.
Not only the people in this world, but Yun Tianhe’s teammates, Han Lingsha and Murong Ziying, were shocked by his audacity.
Having grown up in the wildness, Yun Tianhe was like a piece of blank paper and always said what was on his mind; he never had any wicked thoughts. His father Yun Tianqing had taught him that men should be fearless, so Yun Tianhe became such a person. When the godly dragon challenged him to go up to the Coiled Dragon Pillar, he just did it without a fuss.
The huge ancient godly dragon stone statue winded up along the deserted Buzhou Mountain and spiraled up along the Coiled Dragon Pillar to the high and distant heavens.
If the players went up along the Coiled Dragon Pillar all the way to the dragon head, they would probably reach the new immortal realm shown in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3. The players of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 could see the huge dragon head when Chong Lou and Jing Tian battled many years later.
Of course, the godly dragon only challenged them to go up the Coiled Dragon Pillar to test their strength and courage and wouldn’t allow them to travel to the top.
It must be noted that in the world shown in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, there were many immortal realms, and they were not related to the abodes and residences of the immortals in the heavenly realm.
The immortal realms could be divided into heavenly immortal realms and mortal immortal realms. The latter were like blessed cave abodes in the mortal realm such as Penglai where the spiritual essence was abundant.
The new immortal realm discovered by Fei Peng and Chong Lou in the Legend of Sword and Fairy was a heavenly immortal realm which was a blessed cave abode in the heavens.
The story of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 happened after Immortal General Fei Peng reincarnated as Prince Long Yang of the Jiang Nation but long before Jing Tian was born, which was why the players had encountered the demonic sword and Long Kui.
It meant that even if the players could force their way up to the top, the most they could see was probably the ruins of the battle between Fei Peng and Chong Lou many years ago.
The Coiled Dragon Pillar wasn’t easy to walk on since the players couldn’t fly up with the sword control technique. The higher they went, the stronger the gusts would be. If they were not careful, they would fall and shatter into pieces. In fact, they might be knocked down by heavenly lightning bolts and encounter all kinds of demons.
Despite all these difficulties, the players and the characters in the game could still manage to pass it.
However, many people were still worried and wondered, Would we need to battle the godly dragon later?
The players in the old shops were feeling uneasy while they walked up the path. However, for the players in the new shop, they wondered, Did you say that this is a basic cultivation realm? Where is it? I don’t see it! How can anyone play this?
Even Merlin, a level 9 sky mage, felt like his legs were shaking while he walked up, let alone these knights. Saint level? If saint level masters could create such gusts by just breathing and sound like booming thunderbolts as the godly dragon did, perhaps even the gods in the world will have had to submit to these masters.
Although Merlin couldn’t imagine the power beyond the saint level, he knew that this dragon was an existence with power far greater than the saint level!
Also, Merlin had a vague feeling that even some legendary gods didn’t have such horrifying auras.
After all, there were powerful gods and less powerful ones.
“Is this a saint level mystical realm?!” He suppressed the horrifying thought and chanted silently, “This is a fantasy! It must be!”
This chant calmed him down a bit. After all, few people could face the Aurogon as fearlessly as Yun Tianhe.
“Hey! We’re up! Where are you!?” Yun Tianhe yelled at the sky.
“F*ck…” Song Qingfeng and the other players in the old shops were so scared that they almost dropped from their chairs, afraid that the ignorant Yun Tianhe would be killed by one palm strike.
For the elves, it felt the same as if they were yelling at the Elf God, “Hey! Where are you?”
Having never seen such dumb and fearless man, the players in the new shop felt their legs turning into jelly. Others would respectfully address this godly dragon, but you just walked up and said hey!
“Ahh-” With a shrill scream, Yun Tianhe was knocked down by a lightning bolt.
After a long while, Yun Tianhe got up, looking nonplussed. “Why am I always getting struck by lightning bolts since I came down from the mountain…”
Everyone put their hands on their foreheads. “…”
“Mortal, do you know how disrespectful you were when you yelled at a godly dragon? This is what you get for your rudeness.”
“I don’t know about good manners. You told us to come up, claiming that you know how to get to the ghost realm, so we hurried up to find you. What’s wrong with that?” Yun Tianhe was honest and frank; he didn’t have the concept of politeness.
This gloomy place was a portal leading to the depths of the ghost realm, and it was a very important portal between the heaven and the earth. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be guarded by the Aurogon. If it allowed people to enter this portal easily, then everyone could go to the ghost realm whenever they wanted.
Therefore, people had to pay a great price for the entry. The godly dragon demanded the life of one of Yun Tianhe’s teammates as the price. The life was useless to the godly dragon, but it would act as a warning to all others that no one could pass it with ease.
However, Yun Tianhe would never accept this condition.
“If you anger me, I’ll kill you all!” Heavenly lightning boomed, showing the godly dragon’s fury.
New to the world, Yun Tianhe knew no fear and said, “I can tell that you’re powerful, but it’s me who doesn’t want to make the choice, and it has nothing to do with them! Please don’t kill them! I won’t sacrifice my friends, and I won’t change my mind either.”
Obviously, Yun Tianhe spoke whatever was on his mind.
“…” The godly dragon was silent for a while. Perhaps it had never seen such an ignorant and ridiculously dumb mortal before. Not a blood-thirsty evil dragon, it decided to give them a chance. “Mortal, you’re very interesting. Perhaps you haven’t seen enough suffering in the world and think that everyone can solve their problems with their own power.
“Maybe you’re worthy of my appreciation, or you’re just a moron who knows nothing about the world.”
“What do you mean…” Yun Tianhe asked.
Perhaps he indeed knew nothing.
“I’ll give you a chance. I’ll release a phantom of me from hundreds of thousands of years ago before I ascended and understood Dao. If you can defeat it, I’ll send you to the Inconstant Hall in the ghost realm.”
“Really? You are willing to help us?” Yun Tianhe was delighted.
“Hahaha!” The Aurogon laughed, “I’ve guarded this place for 9,900 years and will soon finish my job with success. I’m surprised to see a ridiculous mortal like you. Should I help you guys enter the ghost realm, or should I send your souls into the ghost realm?!”
