"Wolong Mountain, I really miss it..." Old Ren muttered as he saw the sign for Wolong Mountain ahead through Chen Zhou's gaze, his tone filled with nostalgia.
This was the first time Chen Zhou had heard Elder Ren say such a thing, and his curiosity was immediately piqued. Could it be that Elder Ren had some kind of story with Wolong Mountain?
"Elder Ren, have you been to Wolong Mountain before?" Chen Zhou asked curiously.
Old Ren nodded, his face full of vicissitudes, and said, "There are many opportunities in Wolong Mountain, it depends on whether you have the fate to seize them."
Upon hearing Elder Ren's words, Chen Zhou concluded that Elder Ren must have been here before. He had inquired about the story of the Heavy Edge Sword from the elders and heard that the sword had been kept in the Sword Cloud Sect for more than ten years. In other words, Elder Ren had been sleeping inside the Heavy Edge Sword for more than ten years. So even if Elder Ren had been to Wolong Mountain, it must have been at least more than ten years ago.
This place is probably completely changed by now.
That so-called extraordinary encounter was probably snatched away long before Chen Zhou. After all, this place has existed for so long, and in this era, so many people are pursuing opportunities. If word spreads that there are opportunities at Wolong Mountain, everyone would rush to enter.
"Hmph! This opportunity isn't something everyone can take away," Elder Ren sneered, his tone tinged with coldness. There was a sense that he was protecting this so-called opportunity. Although Chen Zhou didn't know what had happened between Elder Ren and Wolong Mountain, it must have been something very memorable.
After entering the mountainous area, Chen Zhou discovered how rugged the mountain range was. Because he did not choose to take the main road, but instead chose the more rugged mountain path, he had to be very careful along the way.
Because the mountain range was very rugged, if one foot slipped, the person would lose their balance and fall off the mountain. Even if Chen Zhou had true qi, it would be of no use. In the end, he could only helplessly use his true qi to protect his body.
"Elder Ren, I wasn't thinking about the opportunity you mentioned! I just wanted to safely pass through Wolong Mountain, enter the next place, and then safely reach the Northern Kingdom to complete the sect's mission. That's all." Chen Zhou said, emphasizing each word, afraid that Elder Ren would think he was after the opportunity he mentioned.
Chen Zhou's words were exactly what he was thinking. He just wanted to be a carefree person, and these opportunities would inevitably attract many competitors, leading to conflict. He naturally didn't want to get involved in such conflict, so he figured he should stay away from them.
"Some things, you can't get just because you don't want them." Old Ren suddenly said something quite philosophical, which made Chen Zhou's originally boring mountain climb suddenly more interesting.
Chen Zhou likes to ponder philosophical sayings from others, as this allows him to broaden his horizons and gain insights into their psychology.
"Oh? Why would I get it even if I didn't want it?" Chen Zhou said with amusement. This old man Ren was really talking strangely these days.
"You'll find out later. You're cultivating the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram, which has countless connections with dragons. Be careful, this is the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range." Elder Ren gave a special reminder, looking shrewd and calculating, as if everything was under his control.
The Divine Array Diagram of Wind and Cloud Dragon's Roar?
Wolong Mountain area?
Isn't it just that both things are related to dragons?
"It's just an ordinary place name. If I were from ancient times, I could name this place whatever I wanted. What's the big deal?" Chen Zhou continued to say to Elder Ren.
Chen Zhou suddenly realized that having someone to talk to made the journey less tedious. Before, when he was traveling alone, Ren Lao wouldn't pay any attention to him, but now that Ren Lao was suddenly more talkative, he wasn't so bored anymore.
"You're still too young. I'm too lazy to argue with you." Old Ren waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou immediately said, "Elder Ren, I wasn't wrong!"
"...."
Ren Lao remained silent. Since Ren Lao did not answer him, Chen Zhou immediately felt bored, especially in this mountainous area, which was unusually quiet. There wasn't even a bird chirping. What was going on?
"The mountainous areas have the most spirit beasts. The Wolong Mountain area in the north is the place with the most spirit beasts in the North and South. Be careful," Elder Ren suddenly reminded him, and then closed his eyes again.
Chen Zhou was speechless for a moment. Sure enough, this mountainous area was not as simple as it seemed. Thinking this, Chen Zhou continued to move forward.
"Tap tap tap tap tap..."
Chen Zhou stepped onto the road leading into the Wolong Mountain area, leaving only the soft sound of his cloth shoes on the quiet mountain.
After walking on the mountain for a while, Chen Zhou realized that he had actually been climbing upwards the whole time. At this time, Chen Zhou took out a map and looked at the Wolong Mountain area on the map. There were several mountain peaks on it.
"Su Long Mountain, Qian Long Mountain, Wo Long Mountain. This Wo Long Mountain area actually has three peaks?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself, seeing that the peak closest to the Ghost Path was Su Long Mountain, and Chen Zhou was currently on this peak.
Just as Chen Zhou was looking at the map, he suddenly heard a soft voice. The voice was very soft and seemed to be whispering. Chen Zhou immediately looked around.
However, Chen Zhou didn't notice any changes in his surroundings. He initially thought he was mistaken and cautiously prepared to look at the map again, when the voice came through. This time, Chen Zhou heard the voice clearly.
"This isn't the local language? Could it be a spell?"
Chen Zhou looked around warily. He couldn't hear the voice very clearly because he couldn't understand it at all. It seemed to be another language, giving Chen Zhou the feeling that it was chanting a spell.
