Chapter 456: Reaching the Summit!
"Such nagging!"
Xiao Yi Xian looked visibly annoyed after listening to Jin Shi’s explanation. If not for Jin Shi’s consistently humble tone, she might have lost her temper already.
"Yanran, Han Yue, Xiao Yin, let’s head straight to the summit and see if they dare stop us!" Xiao Yi Xian turned away from Jin Shi, signaling the group to proceed toward the peak.
Seeing this, Jin Gu and Jin Shi exchanged hesitant glances, torn over whether they should intervene.
"Clan Leader, these young women act recklessly and without fear. They likely come from a powerful faction. Offending them might bring more trouble than breaking our agreement with the other forces," Jin Gu said cautiously.
"I’ve thought the same. These people must have formidable backing. Knowing our strength, they still show no regard for us," Jin Shi replied with a nod.
"Then, what about the checkpoints?" Jin Gu asked nonchalantly.
"The checkpoints will proceed as planned. That way, we can at least give the other forces an explanation," Jin Shi said after a moment of thought.
As Jin Shi finished speaking, he looked at the retreating figures of Xiao Yi Xian and her companions as they ascended the stone steps. Raising his voice, he warned, "Ladies, there’s a Mouse Tide Soundwave Array set up by our clan above. The more of you ascend together, the stronger its power will be. If you can overcome the array, you’ll reach the summit!"@@@@
Xiao Yi Xian’s group paused briefly at the warning, then continued their steady climb.
Around the stone steps, the countless Gold-Devouring Mice opened their eyes, their fur bristling as powerful soundwaves began to emanate. The energy in the surrounding area grew increasingly chaotic.
In response to the incoming waves, Xiao Yin quickly performed a series of hand seals. Moments later, invisible energy barriers materialized around Han Yue and Nalan Yanran.
The piercing soundwaves, now condensed like a storm, surged down from above, aiming to overwhelm Xiao Yi Xian’s group.
Yet, as these overwhelming waves approached within half a foot of the group, they collided with an invisible barrier, causing deafening blasts in the air. The soundwaves, vast and formidable, dissipated entirely before they could reach their targets.
Despite the cold reception, Jin Gu showed no displeasure. He quickly turned and left.
...
After Jin Gu’s departure, Xiao Yi Xian and her companions advanced under the energy tides in the sky, weaving through the clusters of jagged rocks. Guided by their perception of the energy flow, they climbed to a higher vantage point after seven or eight minutes. What they saw next caused Nalan Yanran and Han Yue to draw in sharp breaths.
Before them lay an enormous volcanic crater. Wisps of hot, fire-poison-laden smoke billowed intermittently from its depths. At the center of the crater was a small pool, only a few meters across. The liquid within was sparse, revealing faint traces of fiery red, like molten lava.
"Yanran, although the energy in this blood pool is abundant, your cultivation hasn’t yet reached the Dou Emperor stage. When you enter the pool later, even with medicinal support, make sure not to push yourself too hard," Xiao Yi Xian cautioned, casting a glance at the energy-rich blood pool.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I’ll be careful!" Nalan Yanran responded with a smile. Her current cultivation had already reached the peak of Dou King. If she absorbed the pool’s energy effectively, she might soon step into the Dou Emperor stage.
"Xiao Yin, since Master mentioned that the Tianshan Blood Pool’s bottom has a spatial barrier set up by the Gold-Devouring Mouse Clan, you’ll need to assist me in entering it later. Afterward, come back and watch over Han Yue, Yanran, and Zi Mo Jiu," Xiao Yi Xian instructed.
