Chapter 314 Climbing the Peak
Judging from the records before Emperor Wu, if the Nian beast was still alive, it would at least be a mythical and powerful creature.
But Yu Cang is very strange.
How could such a powerful spiritual beast be scared away by something as weak as firecrackers... Even if the loud noise and bright light are Nian's weaknesses, how can a mere mortal creature threaten a myth?
Perhaps, there is some water in the records of our ancestors.
At the same time, Qi'er finally stopped until he could no longer make the "Evil Dragon Sugar Man" in his hand any further.
The girl stretched out her white and tender arms and placed the sugar man in front of her, her little eyes constantly looking back and forth between it and Ye Lai.
"Hmm..."
The girl pouted.
Although she really wanted to get a compliment after her hard work, but looking at the strange shape in her hand...it was really hard for her to say the compliment!
Qi'er clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided - forget it, nothing happened.
Next to him, Ye Lai, who was still acting as a boss, noticed this place.
He looked at the "himself" in the girl's hand... Well, it had wings, a head, and four claws, so it was definitely himself.
"It's a beautiful creation." Ye Lai flew to the girl before Qi'er hid the candy figure. "Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into it. I like it very much."
"But... the chess pieces are so ugly." The girl didn't dare to look at Ye Lai.
"I'm also at fault. Just now, when someone passed by, I couldn't help but move around." Ye Lai landed on the girl's shoulder, his eyes full of smiles. "That's a good thing, Qi'er. If it was really made so well, you wouldn't be willing to eat it, right?"
The girl couldn't help but think carefully, and finally came to a conclusion: "Hmm! ... Thank you, Brother Yelai! I know you are trying to comfort me. Just wait, next time I will definitely make one that looks even better!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Cang walked forward and touched the girl's head. "Did Qi'er do this? It's amazing~"
"……hey-hey."
Qi'er held her cheeks with her little hands. This exaggerated praise really made her very shy, but she was still very happy in her heart, as if she had drunk honey.
"Stop praising Qi'er...Brother, shall we go over there and take a look?"
"Okay~"
Grabbing Yu Cang's hand, Qi'er ran forward. She actually didn't know where to go. There were so many interesting things for her to see that she just wanted to get over the topic as soon as possible.
Bang!
Fireworks exploded in the sky not far away. The girl looked up and saw the colors in the sky were so brilliant that it looked like a colorful rain.
"Wow..." The girl couldn't help but open her mouth.
It turns out... the Chinese New Year that adults talk about has so many colors.
It’s not about the cold floor and the sharp-angled room, nor is it about the spooky and scary reunion dinner with only one day of rest.
But it is the soft snow, the red lights, the fireworks of many colors, and the brothers and sisters who always love me.
This was the first normal year for the girl.
"Qi'er, slow down." Yu Cang leaned forward and jogged along. "The ground is slippery, don't fall."
"I know!"
Ye Laifei was beside Yu Cang, with a gentle smile in his eyes. Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but smile as she watched all this.
This scene is as beautiful as a painting...
Gu Jieshuang let out a light breath and was about to catch up when suddenly, her personal terminal vibrated.
She took it out and took a look...Huh?
It’s a video call from my mother!
Gu Jieshuang quickly took out the phone and answered it.
"Jie Shuang." Gu Zhihan's face appeared in the terminal. "How is it in the Holy City?"
"Very good!" Gu Jieshuang said, "I'm with the boss now... Is there anything wrong? Is someone in the village ill or has there been an alien space..."
"What are you talking about?" Gu Zhihan interrupted her, "I just wanted to see you before the New Year. Why are there so many dangerous things..."
"Oh... then I'll go find the boss..."
"No need." Gu Zhihan chuckled, "When you come back, just remember to come and see me - you guys go play first."
drop--
The call was hung up.
Bang!
Countless fireworks rose into the sky one after another, and for a moment, the sky seemed as bright as day.
Gu Jieshuang raised her head, her gaze passing through the countless laughter coming and going, and fell on Yu Cang who was playing with Qi'er.
A smile spread quietly, and at this moment, Gu Jieshuang felt unprecedented peace of mind.
"No one can destroy this... Huang..."
…
This is how I spent the first year after awakening the entry recorder.
Yu Cang has made some changes to this world.
He felt that he was not the kind of person who cared about the people, but who would refuse to save the world while making himself stronger?
After the end of the year, it was the most suitable time to enter Fengyue Cangjian. After a short rest, Yu Cang came to a deep mountain under the leadership of Jiangshan and Zhongsheng.
"You mean," Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the stone steps that stretched all the way up before him, with almost no end in sight, "to enter Fengyue Cangjian, I must first climb to the top of this 'Zunyue'?"
"Yes—Fengyue Cangjian, it's in the clouds above Mount Zun." Jiangshan nodded. "It's just climbing a mountain. It shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"
"Emm..." Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
He looked to the side and saw Gu Jieshuang had already started moving her body. Judging from her expression, she was obviously eager to try.
And I... am eager to die.
How can my physical fitness compare to Gu Jieshuang!
It would be fine if he climbed mountains or exercised regularly, but even in a duel, he mostly controlled the summoned beasts to fight, so he didn't get much exercise himself.
Although I am in good health...but the person in front of me is my noble master!
The altitude is over 3,000 meters. If it was a straight line, it would be fine. But the long stone steps in front of us are like a mountain road with eighteen bends, up and down, back and forth... Even a soul card master's physique can't bear it!
Not to mention, there is still a fight to fight after entering Feng Yuecangjian. If too much physical energy is consumed on the way, the performance will be affected at that time.
"Um...is there a cable car or something?" Yu Cang tried to skip class.
"No." Zhong Sheng ruthlessly shattered Yu Cang's fantasy, "And, even if there is, I don't recommend you take it."
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
"Because, as soon as you step into the Noble Mountain, you've actually entered the perception range of that being," Zhong Sheng explained. "That being's power is scattered throughout the Noble Mountain. The process of your ascent is actually the prelude to the first level of the trial."
"Is that so..." Yu Cang's eyes became much more serious.
"Also, there's one more thing you need to be aware of—the mountain path of Zunyue will continuously suppress the activity of your soul energy. During this process, it's best not to use soul energy to strengthen your body. Otherwise, if you move around, you might be repelled by Fengyue Cangjian, making it impossible to enter even if you reach the summit."
Yu Cang's expression froze: "...Okay."
It's even more difficult.
But...it's okay. He was already prepared to suffer today. This way, he just suffered a little bit earlier.
"Then we..."
"It's not us, it's you." Jiang Shan said cheerfully, "We two old guys can't stand this kind of torture - Xiao Cang, we will go directly to the top of Zunyue Peak to wait for you later."
"ah?"
"We don't have to worry about being rejected by Feng Yue Cangjian, so we'll naturally fly." Zhong Sheng said with a smile, "Okay, see you at the top of the mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange wind rose up from the ground, and Jiangshan and Zhongsheng rode on the strange wind and disappeared in a flash.
Yu Cang: "...Okay, okay."
"Boss?" Gu Jieshuang said, "Shall we get started? Let me hold Qi'er."
Yu Cang took a deep breath: "Then please!"
…
However, Yu Cang's current position is still not the starting point.
We continued along the mountain road for about a kilometer before finally arriving at the foot of Yuzunyue.
Rows of compact stone steps stretched out before my eyes, sometimes steep, sometimes gentle, with no end in sight. The mountain path was silent—no one would venture near the majestic peak without permission.
Yu Cang stepped onto the first stone step, and suddenly, he felt his body sink.
When the soul card master is relaxing, some soul energy will overflow from the soul energy well and spread into the body. This is a kind of circulation and can also help nourish the body. But now, all this soul energy... is under pressure and is "pressed" back into the soul energy well.
For a moment, the loss of "soul energy circulation" made Yu Cang feel very uncomfortable, as if his body suddenly became empty.
"Boss, are you okay?" Gu Jieshuang looked over.
"...It's okay, let's go." Yu Cang tried his best to adapt to this feeling of powerlessness.
but……
Yu Cang raised his head, his gaze passing through the stone steps to heaven and into the layers of heavy clouds.
Just now, at the moment when he felt heavy, he clearly felt that some kind of incredibly ancient gaze passed through countless spaces and fell on him.
This is definitely not an illusion!
"Is that... the Creator's sight..." A smile slowly appeared at the corner of Yu Cang's mouth.
He suddenly thought of the time at the ruins of the Divine Capital.
They were both trapped for tens of thousands of years, and their status was both above all other living beings.
The will of the Star God was summoned directly by myself using a term, so... is it possible for this creator to summon it in the same way?
A bold idea began to brew in Cang's heart.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally stopped the urge to take out the blank soul card and implant [Race: God] right away.
Now, people don’t even know what they are, and it’s really rude to start calling them right away.
If this action of mine angers Him, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
It’s better to wait until you have completed Feng Yue Cangjian and talked to him before trying it again.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang started extracting entries from Zun Yue.
As a result, only a one-day countdown appeared.
Yu Cang frowned slightly, then understood.
It is not yet the scope of Feng Yue Cangjian, and he only extracted Zun Yue, so it is normal that there is no myth.
Thinking of this, he directly canceled the entry extraction.
It is definitely impossible to extract all of it before reaching the summit, so let’s prioritize extracting from Feng Yue Cangjian.
…
At this time, Zunyue
Above the clouds on the mountain tops are more clouds, endless clouds.
The clouds here are clearly defined and the sky is boundless. It seems like you are still on the blue planet, but it is already another sky.
The sky is the limit here.
I don’t know how high it is.
The aurora stretched across the void like soft silk, and the clouds spread out like the surface of the sea. Within the light and clouds, a being resembling a real dragon appeared and disappeared.
Suddenly, this being seemed to open its eyes, and its ancient gaze fell into the clouds.
"...Another year on earth..."
…
Zhong Sheng and Jiang Shan each used their own methods and reached the top of Zunyue Mountain.
Looking up, there are endless layers of clouds.
This is already a different space.
The only connection between Fengyue Cangjian and Blue Star is this towering mountain.
However, those who came up using soul cards can only stop here and cannot go any further. The suppression of the rules they are subject to will increase countless times.
Unless you force your way in - that will do no one any good and will most likely not succeed.
"Tsk." Jiang Shan suddenly sighed, "Lao Zhong, do you think Xiao Cang will break through which level of the trial?"
"It's the minimum, I don't know if there will be more than that." Zhong Sheng said.
"Lao Zhong, you are looking down on Xiao Cang." Jiang Shan laughed, "Xiao Cang's talent is top-notch in any era. I think he might even be able to clear the third level this time!"
"It's hard to say." Zhong Sheng just shook his head. "Those who can enter the third level are all people with mythical appearance. And mythical appearance is so rare. Even if Xiao Cang is now extremely talented, he hasn't really touched the power above the legendary level after all."
Yes, despite Yu Cang's current achievements and the creation of countless systems, these systems can only prove their practicality before the myth. No one has yet entered the myth with the help of these systems, and no one knows their upper limit.
Maybe... these fancy systems can only be passed down from generation to generation.
The level of mythology is too strong and too mysterious. The time span of the two myths is even extended to thousands of years. During these thousands of years, there are countless people with extraordinary talents.
No one can accurately describe this supreme realm.
Sometimes, even if you are just a little bit off in some inconspicuous place, you will never be able to touch the myth.
"So, you think Xiao Cang can't reach the third level?" Jiang Shan said.
"I'm just saying, it's difficult." Zhong Sheng shook his head. "You and I have both been inside Fengyue Cang, and we know the extreme trials that one has to endure. Facing something like that, it's understandable that Xiao Cang couldn't make it through."
"Tsk, I think you just judge others by your own standards because you didn't pass the test yourself." Jiang Shan shook his head.
"...I passed the second level, and you only passed the first level. Do I need to remind you?"
"Never mind." Jiang Shan waved his hands repeatedly, "How about we make a bet? I bet Xiao Cang will definitely pass!"
"Then I can't win the bet." Zhong Sheng chuckled, "Believe me, Jiangshan - you should be able to see that Xiao Cang is still young after all and hasn't experienced any hardships. In terms of willpower, it's not easy for him to pass the first level. Don't have too many expectations of him. Wait a few years for him to try again, maybe it will be better."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Shan said casually, "Old Zhong, I can only say that you understand Feng Yue Cangjian very well, and you also understand young people, but... you don't understand Yu Cang."
Jiang Shan looked pleased: "Just wait and see... This time, I'm definitely the one who wins the bet!"
In response to this, Zhong Shengzhi just smiled and did not comment.
…
foot of the mountain
tread……
Yu Cang took a step forward and suddenly felt dizzy. He held onto the huge rock next to him.
"Boss?" Gu Jieshuang held Qi'er in her arms, her breathing becoming slightly heavier. "How about we take a break?"
“…No need.” Yu Cang took a few breaths.
Climbing a majestic mountain is different from ordinary mountain climbing.
Not only do they have to endure physical torture, but they also have to bear the mental pressure.
And under this kind of pressure...some changes seemed to have occurred in his soul energy well.
Yu Cang felt it carefully, and a sphere formed by pure soul energy began to form in the soul energy well, and continued to condense and compress under the pressure of Zun Yue.
During this process, souls are constantly generated from the spiritual world and join in.
Yu Cang knew that this was the "key" to enter Feng Yuecang's room.
only……
"Hiss... This key is so heavy..." Yu Cang shook his heavy head.
Without staying for too long, Yu Cang started off directly.
This state will amplify physical and mental fatigue. Taking a break will only make the fatigue worse instead of providing any relief.
Therefore, we must make a concerted effort!
