Chapter 139: Once Again, the Demon Subduing Mountain, the Mountain Path
Nie Ling held the scroll in both hands as she slowly unfurled it. The city and mountain range patterns within the great desolate region appeared on the map.
Of course, this was not all of the maps of the great desolate region. The great desolate region was so vast, who would be able to chart all of it?
This was only a portion of the map, and on this map, Su Yi clearly saw the words ‘Qinyang City’.
They were currently in Central Plains City, at the center of the map. Qinw.a.n.g Ridge was in the far East, and in front of Qinw.a.n.g Ridge, there was a small city called Qinyang City.
From the Central Plains City to Qinw.a.n.g Ridge, he had to go from the teleportation array to Demon Subduing Mountain, and then cross the mountain to the forest of fireflies. Only after pa.s.sing through the Forest of Fireflies was Qinyang City’s territory.
And this journey could not be said to be not far. If he were to travel at full speed, it would probably take him nearly a week. “This journey is a little too far.”
With a gesture on the map, Su Yi could feel that this road city was not easy. It would take him three days just to cross the Demon Subduing Mountain.
He had gone to the Demon Subduing Mountain to hunt demon beasts before. The monsters there were not that powerful. However, he knew too little about the Forest of Fireflies behind the Demon Subduing Mountain.
Nie Ling seemed to be connected in mind. Seeing his confusion, she explained softly. “the Forest of Fireflies can be considered the outskirts of the Central Plains of the great desoalte, just like the place where we came from. The strongest demon beasts there are only at the foundation establishment stage. With your strength, fellow Daoist Su, you have nothing to fear.”
After hearing Nie Ling’s words, he slowly nodded.
Just as Nie Ling said, the Forest of Fireflies was like a cultivation ground outside of a small city. The demon beasts inside were only one level higher. Presumably, the main demon beasts were around the qi condensation stage.
In this way, he did not have to worry. The only difficulty was to cross the Demon Subduing Mountain. The mountain path of the Demon Subduing Mountain was steep. Even a foundation establishment cultivator had to be careful.
If he slipped and fell into that dangerous place without any leverage, it would really be a disaster.
After obtaining the map, Su Yi bade Nie Ling farewell. In Central Plains City, he stepped onto the teleportation array heading to the Demon Subduing Mountain.
At the main gate of the Nie family, after Nie Ling sent Su Yi to the main gate, she watched him leave from afar. The originally gentle expression in her eyes suddenly became firm.
“No matter what, I will definitely catch up to you.”
…
Central Plains City, on the street leading to Demon Subduing Mountain.
Su Yi walked slowly. Ever since the last Tiandao sect compet.i.tion, he seemed to be able to hear cultivators chanting his name everywhere.
This made him feel a little embarra.s.sed. What made him even more ridiculous was that on the way to the teleportation formation of Demon Subduing Mountain, he even met the storyteller.
This was very hard to believe. He did not expect his deeds in Central Plains City to be so famous among the gossip of these ordinary cultivators.
In response, he could only smile and then quicken his pace. He was really afraid that if he continued to walk slowly, he would die of shame sooner or later.
Of course, rumors were just rumors. Only among those Heaven’s Favorites who had competed with Su Yi, did they truly feel the terror of Su Yi.
Very quickly, Su Yi arrived in front of the teleportation array that was used to teleport him to Demon Subduing Mountain.
Different from Horizon City, there was only one teleportation array in Central Plains City, and it was even larger and more exquisite.
As long as a cultivator entered it and chose the destination he was teleported to, he would be teleported there.
He took a step into the teleportation array and the teleportation array rippled slightly. Very quickly, in Su Yi’s eyes, the words formed by the array patterns surrounded his body, as if he had to choose.
Soon, he saw the words demon capturer mountain among the array patterns. He waved his hand and tapped it lightly.
Immediately, the array started to operate, and the sound of the array reverberated. He saw a white light shine on his body, and then his figure disappeared, turning into a white light that shot into the sky and teleported away.
In the outer area of Demon Subduing Mountain, which stood at the peak of the clouds, a stream of array light streaked across the sky and instantly descended on the outskirts.
The stream of array light transformed into a figure. It was Su Yi.
It had to be said that the teleportation array was indeed extremely powerful. In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, it had teleported him to the outskirts of the Demon Subduing Mountain.
One had to know that it had taken him a day’s journey from the Horizon City to the Central Plains City.
He looked at the towering Demon Subduing Mountain in the distance and then opened the map. He was in one of the directions of the Demon Subduing Mountain. If he wanted to cross this towering mountain range, he had to find a way to enter it.
With a light tap of his feet, true essence power surged, and his body turned into a black light and flew out.
“F*ck!” He cried out in surprise, and his body was already dozens of meters away. It was not easy for him to completely stabilize his body.
Su Yi had a scared look on his face. He knew that his speed had increased by a lot, but he did not expect that this kind of increase was so terrifying.
If it were not for his strong physique, the speed that he had just created would have been enough to damage the surface of his body. In this regard, he quietly stabilized his state of mind.
Fast, it was too fast. Therefore, it was better to use less of this speed in the future. He realized that the speed was too fast. With his current cultivation, he could not control it at all.
After he calmed down, he let out a sigh of relief. The true essence in his body slightly fluctuated. With a slight movement of his feet, his body turned into an afterimage as he quickly ran toward Demon Subduing Mountain.
At this moment, his speed was only one-third of what it was before, and he had already reached the peak speed before he improved the Footloose Illusionary Body Technique.
In this regard, Su Yi’s heart was extremely happy. This kind of feeling of running at such a speed was like a fairy swimming in a storm.
At this moment, he was like a man who was like the wind, incomparably happy.
In just a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the foot of the Demon Subduing Mountain range. Because he was running too fast, his hair and robes were a little messy.
Then, he tidied up his clothes and took out the map that Nie Ling gave him.
“It should be this road.” He looked at the road in front of him and saw that a road with a precipice by the side was winding.
Different from the last time he came to Demon Subduing Mountain, Su Yi planned to cross the mountain this time, instead of going up to the peak to explore and hunt demon beasts.
The road in his eyes was one of the small paths that would lead him to cross the Demon Subduing Mountain. The end of the small path could not be seen, it was about 40 to 50 feet wide, and there were towering rock walls and green plants beside it.
On this small path, the long cries of demon beasts echoed from time to time.
Fortunately, the light in the sky could still shine in, so it was not so gloomy. Su Yi looked at this small path, the corner of his mouth slightly raised as he muttered in a low voice. “Demon Subduing Mountain range, I’m here again.”
As he spoke, he stepped onto the path that crossed the mountains and ridges.
