Chapter 768: Cliff Mountain!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Thousand Mile arrived at Cliff Mountain soon. Cliff Mountain was different from what Jiang Chen had imagined. He had a.s.sumed it was like a school or a sect, with an architectural complex on the mountain.
However, Cliff Mountain was actually a city. It was even bigger than Mountain City. The airs.h.i.+ps flying in the air were countless. Jiang Chen figured out why Cliff Mountain was called Cliff Mountain soon. Looking around, he saw there was a mountain in the city, rising from the ground and soaring into the clouds.
Jiang Chen looked up, but he could not see the peak. Even the highest building in the city was less than one-tenth of the mountain’s height. Without a doubt, this was Cliff Mountain, the unique and symbolic scenery of this city.
According to what Fengyu Duo had told him, Cliff Mountain was a paramount power in Jing Prefecture. It had a superior position; 90 percent of the forces in the Ten Prefectures submitted themselves to the rule of Cliff Mountain. As a result, Cliff Mountain was actually as powerful as Nine Territories.
Similar to the Sacred Inst.i.tute of the Realm of Nine Heavens, the force of Cliff Mountain was also a palace of martial arts techniques that pract.i.tioners were eager to visit. The difference was that Cliff Mountain only taught martial techniques of lore, things like the lore of wind, fire, water, and earth. It was also thanks to this specialty that Cliff Mountain had become an influential force. Many people of the Spirit would come to Cliff Mountain to study.
“See you then.” The Thousand Mile stopped outside of the city. Jiang Chen’s escorting task was over. He did not care what would happen to Nangong Wan and the others, but he was worried about Qiu Fuping. He wondered whether she would find her feet here.
However, to each his own. Each person has the right to make choices. Jiang Chen had no right to intervene. It was impossible for Qiu Fuping to stay with Jiang Chen for the rest of her life just because he had saved her and been kind to her. Nevertheless, she would never forget her encounter with Jiang Chen.
After saying good-bye to the women on the airs.h.i.+p, Jiang Chen went to Cliff Mountain with Fengyu Duo.
“Jiang Chen, you have been in the Three Middle Realms for a long time, haven’t you?”
Jiang Chen gave out lots of information in his fight with Young Master Blood Moon. If he were new here, he could not have had an enemy.
Jiang Chen told them about Young Master Wind and the Jiang Family frankly. He did not hold back anything from them, because he did not want to bring any trouble to Cliff Mountain. He would not complain no matter how Cliff Mountain would treat him after learning the truth, unless they wanted to capture him and hand him over to the Jiangs.
“You are Young Master Wind?!” Zhou Jianfeng stopped flying. He could hardly believe it. He said, “So, you did complete two divine pieces of art?”
“Yes,” Jiang Chen said.
He was surprised to see that Fengyu Duo did not mind at all that he had antagonized the Jiangs.
“The Jiangs went too far. They destroyed two divine pieces of art!” Xiao Yujian said with pity.
“By the way, the divine piece of art that appeared in the Civil and Martial Arts Inst.i.tute before yours was created by a disciple of Cliff Mountain.”
Jiang Chen’s interest was piqued. He said, “You mean the man who got the Martial Emperor’s recognition? Is he also here?”
“He graduated and left here a long time ago, but he is still Cliff Mountain’s pride.”
Speaking of this, Fengyu Duo were very complacent.
Jiang Chen immediately thought much more highly of Cliff Mountain. At the same time, he hoped that Fengyu Duo could keep his ident.i.ty secret.
“The Jiangs have known about both of your ident.i.ties. Is that necessary?” Zhou Jianfeng asked confusedly.
“I think I’d better keep a low profile,” Jiang Chen said.
Fengyu Duo did not know what to say to him. They thought to themselves that the whole Three Middle Realms would learn through the pa.s.sengers of the Thousand Mile that he had killed two Celestial Venerables effortlessly and the whole realm would be amazed by him.
“Ha, ha, ha, that’s a wonderful idea. Once people know Jiang Chen and Young Master Wind are the same person, their jaws will drop,” Zhou Jianfeng suddenly said.
“Apprentice brother, Young Master Jiang Chen can’t be as silly as you!” Xiao Yujian said unhappily.
However, as soon as she had finished speaking, she saw Jiang Chen beaming. The latter said, “That’s true. That will be quite interesting indeed.”
“Of course. Don’t worry about it. Your secret is safe with me,” Zhou Jianfeng said excitedly.
“Men….” Xiao Yujian exclaimed. She felt speechless.
Then the three started to fly up. The Cliff Mountain was high and steep. It was a magnificent mountain. There were not any buildings from the foot of the mountain all the way up the mountainside.
Jiang Chen perceived a mysterious s.p.a.ce change when the three had flown very high in the clouds. Then they found themselves already at the peak of Cliff Mountain. There were rows of buildings as far as they could see. This was naturally a small world. The amazing thing was when they looked down, they could see the whole picture of the city.
People who managed to deploy a small world in such a natural way could not be average.
I really looked down on Cliff Mountain. At the thought of how he had seen Cliff Mountain, he was amused.
“Follow me. I’ll take you to see our master.”
Fengyu Duo led the way ahead. Jiang Chen walked behind them through the palace complex as complicated as a labyrinth. They also saw many disciples of Cliff Mountain along the way. Jiang Chen was surprised that there were quite a few Half Spirits and even some Spirits.He had seen very few Spirits before, but here, he could run into one at any moment.
He had seen quite a few Spirits in his previous life. However, since he had not practiced, he could not experience the difference between the Spirit and average people. However, now he could easily see the unique advantage of the Spirit. These Spirits even put advanced martial arts techniques of lore into use when they were just walking, while average pract.i.tioners would only use them while practicing.
The Spirit were like natural masters of elements in this universe. They could get the essence of martial arts techniques of lore easily and make the achievements that pract.i.tioners would spend their entire lives questing for.
The specific methods of the Spirit were especially powerful and dreadful. It was completely fair for the Spirit to be the paramount power in the Three Middle Realms.
With a second thought, Jiang Chen had to admit it was ridiculous indeed that he wanted the Icy Spirit to agree to the marriage between him, a guy from the Realm of Nine Heavens, and Li Xue’er.
However, it’s still human beings that are dominating the Three Upper Realms. I will let you know about it.
Jiang Chen felt an anger that he had to vent whenever he thought of the Icy Spirit.
The Spirit, who thought they were the blessed ones in the world, were wrong about one thing – the species that could provide endless possibilities is human beings. He, Jiang Chen, would prove this to the Spirit living in the Three Middle Realms.
Walking in Cliff Mountain, Jiang Chen could perceive the disdainful looks from the Spirit and even the Half Spirit. It was not about hatred or prejudice. It was a natural disdain that came with them when they were born, a pride an advanced species tended to show before species not as advanced as them.
However, every coin has two sides.
Fengyu Duo were also Half Spirits, but they did not have so many flaws.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a building complex deep in Cliff Mountain. It was obviously much quieter, and the palaces here were more magnificent, as imposing as the mountain itself.
Fengyu Duo came up to a door. Xiao Yujian knocked on it.
Zhou Jianfeng was standing beside Jiang Chen.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen sensed there were many people gazing at him. He turned around and saw many disciples of Cliff Mountain stop and gaze at him unkindly. This time it was not only because he was a human. He could see hatred and blame in their looks.
“Just ignore them,” patting him on his shoulder, Zhou Jianfeng said.
“But why are they looking at him like this?” Jiang Chen asked.
Scratching his head, Zhou Jianfeng said in a low voice, “Young Master Xuanji’s death p.i.s.sed off the Constellation Palace of Wing Prefecture. They refuse to take orders from Cliff Mountain anymore. More than that, they also provoked grudges between many forces and Cliff Mountain. A huge loss has been caused because of that.”
