Devour

Chapter 233: Shanhui City

Cheng Bai took Ge Chu'e as his guide and rode the black dragon up into the sky. The dragon's majestic body attracted the attention of many monks in the city.

Between the five continents, Mount Sumeru stands majestically like a giant pillar reaching the sky. Everything below the mountain seems so insignificant in front of it.

Cheng Bai looked into the distance and said in amazement, "The outline of this mountain is endless. Part of it can be seen from any corner of the continent. I have never seen such a magnificent super-giant mountain. I wonder what the mystery is?"

Ge Chu said: "Legend has it that this mountain is the ancestor of all mountains, the center of the world, connecting all the heavens and myriad realms, and has countless hidden secrets."

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "These are all old sayings. I am so tired of hearing them, but they are not the real mystery. How did it appear? Normally, there shouldn't be a mountain of this shape and height in the vast universe."

To understand the power of the laws of the universe, any giant object in the starry sky will gradually become round, but the giant mountain in front of us seems to be unique and does not seem like a product of nature.

Ge Chuwu had no idea about this, so he smiled and said, "I don't know. The Li family culture has a long history, and maybe someone among them knows about it."

Cheng Bai said: "Master Shi gave me the opportunity to consult Master Li of Taowu Academy. When we meet in the future, I will definitely ask for his advice."

"My Lord, the history of Mount Xumi is much older than that of Taowu Academy or the Li family. They may not know much."

After saying this, Heilong flew towards the direction of Mount Sumeru. At first, he was busy discussing things and flew slowly. As soon as he left the sky above Yinsheng City, a seven-heart carriage pulled by a blue phoenix came at him at lightning speed.

Wang Xiongwu urged the spirit bird to chase after him and shouted loudly: "Hey! Stop right there!"

Cheng Bai suddenly remembered: "Hey...how could I have forgotten that they are still in Yinsheng City? If they recognize Black Dragon when they see him, it would be strange if they don't chase after him."

Wang Xiongwu was furious and cursed: "You stole my treasures, robbed my Dan beast, and cut me... This hatred is irreconcilable. It turned out that you did it. How dare you stay in Yinsheng City and swagger around. Uncle, I will tear them into pieces!"

Pan Zhonghan's face was cold, and he snorted, "Who are you? How dare you do such petty thefts to Jingtao Sect? Tell me who is behind this. Return the Sumeru Mustard Seed, the Demon Binding Rope, and the Dream Incense, and I will forgive you for what you did."

At a glance, he felt that Cheng Bai and Ge Chu'e were both lower in realm than each other. They were most likely servants of the person behind the scenes. He would find out who the force was before taking any action.

Wang Xiongwu shouted, "I recognize you, Baidi, the leader of the Tianshu Sect. You are a swindler who eats and drinks for free. You can't leave today."

Cheng Bai was surprised and asked, "Isn't this the bad guys filing a complaint first? You two can always find excuses to accuse me, do you have any evidence?"

Pan Zhonghan was slightly stunned and said, "White Emperor? How could a genius who has won fifty levels of the Ladder of All Things have such a difficult cultivation level to identify? Do you have some treasure on you that can't be used to hide it?"

Wang Xiongwu had been recuperating at home these days and had no news. He was shocked to hear about the battle record and whispered, "Uncle Master, he can beat the 50th level, so... isn't he inferior to you?"

Pan Zhonghan hesitated and said, "I'm not sure I can get past the 50th floor. If you really have the ability, we can leave now."

Wang Xiongwu was unwilling to accept this and shouted angrily, "You thief, you definitely don't have the ability to do this. You must be cheating. Don't even think about deceiving me."

He gathered his energy in his arms, raised his palms slightly, made a faint thunderous sound, and was ready to take action.

Pan Zhonghan did not stop him, thinking to himself: "Xiongwu has made great progress in practicing the Five Thunder Palm. Let him go and test his pros and cons. It won't be too late to discuss the pros and cons later."

"If you want to cause trouble, you must defeat my treasure first."

Cheng Bai calmly took out a thundercloud disc and floated it in the air. He then threw out a soldier bean, which transformed into a Yellow Turban strongman general who stood on it and went out to fight.

Wang Xiongwu jumped up from the Qixin car, rushed over with his feet suspended in the air, and used the Five Thunder Palm style "Thunder Running in the Clouds", and struck eighteen times in a row. The palm power came one after another like rolling waves, and it was as powerful as a flying dragon in the sky, a dancing lightning snake, and it was awe-inspiring.

Cheng Bai saw it clearly and thought, "The palm technique looks like the authentic Xuan Sect technique, but it lacks the ability to be a saint. Chang Yufeng will probably not need more than ten moves to defeat him."

"You are just a puppet. I will kill you instantly!"

Before Wang Xiongwu could finish his words, he was blown hundreds of meters away by the blast of air created by the Yellow Turban warrior wielding the mountain-splitting spear, and in the blink of an eye he was back on the Qixin chariot.

Pan Zhonghan's skill is far superior to Wang Xiongwu's, and he has reached the state of breaking through all abilities and the integration of yin and yang. He used the Five Thunder Palm, stretched out his palm to catch the person with gentle strength, and resolved the surging impact force. He felt the powerful force coming from his palm, and his expression changed in complexity.

Wang Xiongwu was defeated and his morale was low. Pan Zhonghan pushed him away, and with his fingers like swords, he used the higher level of Five Thunders Killing Heart Technique.

The five thunders merged into one, which was called Heavenly Slaughter. The sharp murderous aura like a knife or a sword pierced straight towards the Yellow Turban Warrior through the air.

The Yellow Turban strongman general soared into the sky with domineering power. He became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He flew freely on the Thunder Cloud Disk and brandished the Mountain-Splitting Spear to form the Seven Evils Demon-Slaying Force. He faced the enemy head-on and confronted the Five Thunders Heart-Slaying Technique.

Lightning flashed in the air, and countless tiny electric currents dissipated. The Yellow Turban warrior seemed to have rolled up a huge hurricane, tearing the attacking force into pieces. Then he would take advantage of the victory and crush everything in front of him.

Pan Zhonghan noticed that his opponent was obviously more skilled, and was secretly shocked. He called for a halt to the fighting: "Fellow Daoist, please stop. You have the ancient puppets handed down from the immortals to rely on, and I am no match for you. I admit defeat. Xiongwu, come back to Jingao Island with me."

"Let's go, don't send it."

Cheng Bai recalled the Yellow Turban Warrior and the Thunder Cloud Die, and secretly commented: "The old man surnamed Pan's cultivation is about between the Bone King and the Torch. In the past, he would have been a strong enemy."

Wang Xiongwu couldn't accept it and exclaimed: "Uncle Master, you and I have combined our strengths, and we are not necessarily afraid of a puppet. That kid definitely has no real ability. As long as we kill him, we can take back all the treasures."

Pan Zhonghan shouted, "As a candidate for the Holy Son, you cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility alone. Go back and practice according to my instructions. Break through the realm and reach the great perfection of the sword body. Don't let your stubbornness ruin the whole thing."

Wang Xiongwu calmed down, bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, uncle. I was impulsive."

Cheng Bai watched the two men drive the Qixin car to retreat quickly towards the North Sea, and thought to himself: "Elder Pan is of noble status, but he is unwilling to risk his life for Wang Xiongwu. He keeps talking about great principles, and it is hard to guess what his plan is."

After thinking about it, he felt a little uneasy about leaving Lu Miaoting alone in Bailian Mansion, so he sent a letter asking Yao Yingying to take good care of her.

Yao Yingying replied: "Don't worry, I will help you protect your young wife."

Cheng Bai felt that the more he spoke, the more confusing it became. He didn't want to explain any more and urged the black dragonfly to fly to the top of Mount Sumeru.

Flying at lightning speed in the air, covering more than one million miles, and the giant mountain in front of us is even higher than the length of the journey. No wonder climbing Mount Sumeru is considered a feat by monks.

It continued to soar into the sky until the evening of the next day, when Cheng Bai handed Ge Chu'e the fifth fasting pill he had just refined and fed Hei Long a piece of python meat to restore his strength. Only then did they see in the distance the majestic mountain peaks that seemed to be connected with the vast sky.

What is eye-catching is not the mountain itself, but the mysterious existence on the top of the mountain - a suspended round jade disk.

It has a mysterious aura, as smooth as a mirror and with a restrained divine light. It keeps a constant rhythm and rotates slowly and tirelessly, like the heart of a world, stable and powerful.

In order to make up for his previous ignorance, Ge Chu'e introduced it in a torrent of words.

"This is Shanhui City. It has been floating above the top of Mount Sumeru for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. It is 360 miles away. Even though it keeps spinning, you won't feel the ground moving at all after entering it."

"There is day and night in the city, but it is not caused by the sun. I have been here for a while, and it is difficult to tell how it works. It seems that after reaching a certain peak over time, the light begins to gradually fade, thus forming a sense of alternation between day and night."

"Shanhui City is actually a trading city. There are all kinds of excellent or inferior treasures, materials, or tools of unknown use. I don't know where in the underworld some gods, demons, ghosts and monsters brought them. Occasionally they appear and surprise people. You just have to get used to it, sir."

"There is a sect that maintains order in the city, the so-called Heavenly Sword. They are a group of self-important guys who have taken advantage of the power of the Heavenly King. It is best not to provoke them. In addition, there are many other sects and factions..."

"My lord, please look, the one coming in the covered carriage is the Heavenly Sword. They have noticed us."
