Chapter 436: The Golden-Winged Roc, the Serpent God, and the Alchemy Furnace!
“This mountain feels more like a demonic beast’s lair,” Zhang Wei commented. “It’s as if some ancient ferocious creature once slumbered here for ages, and layers of dust settled upon its body to form this peak.”
Zhang ‘Walking Encyclopedia of Blissful Lands’ Wei lived up to his title.
When it came to this Daoist senior who had supposedly been cultivating in seclusion for centuries, Zhang Wei spared no detail and held nothing back.
Along the way, the two conversed at length, and Li Yanchu gradually came to understand many hidden truths and ancient secrets, gaining a new perspective on the mysteries of the Mount Taoyuan Blissful Land.
According to Zhang Wei, there were five forbidden regions within the Mount Taoyuan's Blissful Land. And the Primordial Yang Fruit was said to help cultivators condense pure yang qi, greatly increasing their chances of breaking through to the Yang Spirit Realm.
At first, Zhang Wei had claimed he needed the Primordial Yang Fruit merely to replenish his own depleted yang qi, but had concealed the fact that it could aid a cultivator in advancing to the third realm.
As the two continued their conversation, the sky suddenly began to darken.
“Wait, why is it getting dark all of a sudden in broad daylight...?” Zhang Wei was about to complain about this strange place, but when he looked up, his words froze in his throat.
A colossal bird was soaring toward them from afar with its wings spread wide, vast enough to cover an entire mountain range. Even from such a great distance, its savage and ferocious aura sent chills down their spines.
The great bird’s talons gleamed with dazzling golden light, razor-sharp and unstoppable, as it swooped down toward the mountain range.
But that “mountain range” suddenly began to move; it was, in fact, a giant white python, twisting its colossal body in panic. As it writhed, enormous boulders tumbled down, and the earth split open into deep, yawning chasms.
Zhang Wei had been right, this mountain truly was a ferocious beast in disguise.
