Chapter 17: Salt Mountain Beyond the Borders of Stone Country
North of the Stone Country’s borders lay a continuous range of large mountains known as Salt Mountain. The trees within were tall, the paths winding, and thick vines wrapped around wantonly.
At first glance, it resembled a primeval forest.
Deep within Salt Mountain lived many powerful ferocious beasts. Consequently, few people ventured there on ordinary days, and the footprints of woodcutters and hunters were even rarer.
But in the past few days, the traffic to and from Salt Mountain was endless, for one reason: "Spiritual Beast."
Half a month ago, a cultivator who had entered Salt Mountain to train saw a Spiritual Beast absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. He was stunned.
How many years had it been since Stone Country last witnessed a Spiritual Beast?
When he tried to subdue the Spiritual Beast, it vanished with a SWOOSH. The thrilled cultivator quickly returned, hoping to find some helpers.
As a result, the news inadvertently spread, attracting a large number of cultivators.
Yu Chang’an was very frustrated. "I don’t know which bastard let the news slip, sigh!"
"Did you see what the Spiritual Beast looked like?" a young woman beside him asked softly.
"It was huge, covered in flames..." he recalled.
