Chapter 69
Chapter 69 – The Pond
Origin Mountain’s length and width were both more than ten thousand miles long; it was an extremely large mountain range. The landscape within the mountain range was rough, filled with numerous trees and valleys. Crossing this mountain range was not an easy task. This expansiveness was the reason why Chen Shuang and the other disciples were lost in the mountain for more than a month when they were in pursuit of Big Yellow.
Big Yellow was a brilliant being. He had learned all the paths within the mountain range. Under his lead, they had venture more than a thousand miles into the mountain range in just half a day. The demon beast’s level had become much stronger where they had arrived now.
The demon beasts in the outer parts of the mountain were just normal beasts and animals. When they ventured more than a thousand miles into the mountain, they would find that the demon beasts were mostly at the Qi Hai realm, with only a few of them being at the peak of the Qi Hai realm.
Of course, this level of strength could just be considered strong for normal people. For someone like Jiang Chen, they were still too weak.
Right now, Jiang Chen and Yan Chen Yu were both Early Mortal Core warriors, and Big Yellow had recently awoken his bloodline and entered the Mortal Core realm as well. This powerful combination allowed them to walk through Origin Mountain like it was their own backyard.
Of course, there were still places where they would need to be careful. Origin Mountain was a mountain with a long history. There might be some rare demon beast hidden deep within the mountain, and no one could really know if this was true or not. Therefore, they started venturing at a slower pace the deeper they went.
Roar~
Jiang Chen shook his head. He had the experience of a Saint, and his sense towards treasure was far greater than anyone else. If there was a nearby treasure, he would definitely be able to feel it.
“Big Bro Jiang Chen, let’s hurry, continue our journey, and try to leave this mountain as soon as possible!”
Yan Chen Yu said. After journeying for seven days, she was getting more and more used to the cruel and fierce nature of Big Yellow. This was a good improvement for Yan Chen Yu. Her mind would mature faster by experiencing cruel killing situations.
“Alright, this mountain range is too remote. Besides, this territory is lacking in natural energies; it’s impossible for any real treasures to be produced here.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head. Rare treasures were naturally formed in special places, but it required special conditions. Natural energies would help produce the natural treasure. Places with low amounts of natural energy would obviously not produce any rare natural treasures.
This was also the reason why warriors from different territories had a big difference in strength. The difference between the amount of natural energy would impact cultivation speed and create different results. So, when a place was lacking in natural energy, it would only make cultivation slower.
In Red city, a Mortal Core warrior was a true warrior. He was respected by people. But, in the Divine Continent where Jiang Chen lived in his past life, it was not even worth mentioning a warrior at the Mortal Core realm as even a warrior at the Heavenly Core realm would struggle with survival. This was the difference.
The trio continued their journey. After walking for two or three miles, Big Yellow’s ears suddenly moved. He sniffed with his nose before he turned towards his left.
“Puppy dog, where are you going?”
Yan Chen Yu asked.
“Don’t talk any nonsense, follow me!”
Big Yellow said without turning his head back. As for Yan Chen Yu calling him a puppy dog, Big Yellow had finally, silently accepted it. There was a saying that if life gave you a lemon, and you couldn’t reject it, just enjoy the lemon.
Big Yellow vowed to himself, only Yan Chen Yu could call him puppy dog. If another person dared to call him a puppy dog, he would definitely tear them apart.
“What did this dog discovered?”
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows and followed Big Yellow’s footsteps together with Yan Chen Yu.
After crossing a small forest, they arrived at a narrow valley. Within the valley, there was a huge pond, and looking at the pond from above, it was crystal clear and seemingly normal.
“Big Yellow, this valley looks normal to me. Why did you bring us here?”
Jiang Chen asked with a puzzled expression.
“Do you see that pond?”
Big Yellow’s eyes were glowing brightly. He looked at the pond in the valley.
“It is just a normal pond!”
Yan Chen Yu said seriously.
“There’s treasure in the pond!”
Bit Yellow said with a smile.
“Big Yellow, you must be joking. This is just a normal pond… How could there be a stupid treasure here?”
Jiang Chen teased Big Yellow. He had already scanned the pond with his Divine Sense, and it was just a normal pond. There wasn’t even a strand of fur here.
“Kid, how dare you doubt me?!”
Big Yellow showed his teeth to Jiang Chen angrily.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows again. It looked like Big Yellow wasn’t joking. Besides, this dog was incredibly smart. Perhaps there really was something in the pond. Therefore, Jiang Chen started circulating his Great Soul Derivation skill. His powerful soul force moved towards the pond. When his soul force arrived one feet away from the pond, he was unable to advance forward any more. It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking his soul force.
