Chapter 61 – The taboo of the Ten Thousand Mountains, a fleeting moment
Corpses!
Mountains of corpses, with blood soaking the land.
At the peak of the corpse mountain lay Leishan, one of the top warriors of the Beast Tribe.
And standing atop Leishan's body was a small figure.
His pure white robe had turned red, and he stood there simply.
Yet none of the powerful beasts dared to meet his gaze.
One person wiping out an entire tribe was always considered an exaggeration.
But now, it had become a reality.
No one knew how this human accomplished it, even though the Witch Tribe participated in the battle.
However, the Witch Tribe was hardly a threat to the Thunder Clan.
Thus, the one who annihilated the Thunder Clan was this human before them.
Sensing the beasts' gaze, Chen Changsheng instinctively turned his head to look.
Faced with his gaze, the beasts scattered in fear.
The Thunder Clan, being one of the strongest tribes, was wiped out by this human, so the other beasts naturally lacked the courage to face Chen Changsheng's gaze.
...
The battle between the Witch Tribe and the Thunder Clan came to an end.
The remaining Thunder Beasts in the Thunder Clan's lair were also completely wiped out by Chen Changsheng and Li.
From then on, the name of the Witch Tribe echoed throughout the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Within a three-thousand-mile radius centered on the Witch Tribe's territory, no Elemental Infant Realm beasts dared to tread.
Because they feared that mysterious presence, the Funeral Escort!
After the battle ended, some beasts bravely went to take a look.
The corpses of the Thunder Beasts had long been cleared, leaving only a hundred-zhang tall stone mountain.
On the stone mountain, someone had carved a poem and a line of words with a sharp sword.
The words read, "Here lie the 3,821 lives of the Thunder Clan, laid to rest by the Funeral Escort!"
Beside the words was a poem:
"With head held high, I climb the Southern Dipper, turning to rely on the Northern Star, raising my head to gaze beyond the heavens, none like me."
From that moment, the name Funeral Escort became a taboo in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
...
Water Moon Immortal Realm.
After the annihilation of the Thunder Clan, Chen Changsheng began studying the bronze ancient hall taken by Leishan.
The key information on this bronze ancient hall had also been erased, but interestingly enough, the creature that erased the information left some traces this time.
On the hard bronze wall was a palm print, with two lines of small characters beside it.
"Eliminating a great threat, congratulations to the world!"
"Found an item by chance, left here as a gift for a fated person."
After reading the information left on the wall, Chen Changsheng turned to look at the "stone lump" beside him.
This object should have been left by that mysterious presence, and after careful study, Chen Changsheng confirmed it was an egg.
Unfortunately, the egg was already dead. Leishan likely occupied the Water Moon Immortal Realm to use its spiritual spring to revive the dead egg.
The spiritual spring in the Water Moon Immortal Realm had miraculous effects on nurturing various spiritual beasts and Gu insects.
It was precisely because Leishan occupied the Water Moon Immortal Realm that the Witch Tribe gradually weakened.
As Chen Changsheng was deducing the entire process, Clan Leader Guli walked in.
"Divine Envoy, the resources of the Thunder Clan have been inventoried."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned to the bowing Clan Leader Guli and said.
"I'll take half of the Thunder Clan's resources, and the rest will be left for you."
"For the next hundred years, the beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains shouldn't dare to provoke you, so you must take this time to develop quickly."
"Moreover, everything you have today is because of me."
"So you owe me a favor, and no matter how many years pass, you must repay it."
"If you don't repay it, I'll take back what I've given you."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Guli immediately said, "Rest assured, Divine Envoy, even if thousands of years pass, the Witch Tribe will not forget the Divine Envoy's kindness."
"However, I ask the Divine Envoy to leave a token for future recognition."
Faced with Guli's request, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and then handed over the second half of the golden page of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art.
The Eight-Nine Mystical Art was infinitely profound, and without the first half, it was impossible to cultivate.
Using this as a token was perfect.
"The other half of the golden page represents me. When the other half appears one day, it means it's time for you to repay the favor."
"Repairing the tricolored teleportation formation will take some time, so I won't appear in the Witch Tribe during this period."
"Also, after I leave, I don't want my name to be spread. Do you understand?"
"Guli understands!"
With that, Guli immediately turned and left the Water Moon Immortal Realm.
Watching Guli's back, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and began studying the dead egg again.
The reason for staying in the Ten Thousand Mountains was partly because the tricolored teleportation formation couldn't be repaired yet.
Secondly, Chen Changsheng intended to try reviving the dead egg.
The spiritual spring in the Water Moon Immortal Realm couldn't revive the egg, but if combined with the Heaven-Mending Ointment, it might be possible.
Although the Ten Thousand Mountains were dangerous, they were also extremely rich in resources.
Now that he had wiped out the Thunder Clan and his reputation intimidated many beasts, Chen Changsheng naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gather resources.
After all, spiritual herbs for alchemy weren't easy to find outside.
And so, Chen Changsheng secluded himself in the Water Moon Immortal Realm.
...
Originally, he thought he would stay for only a few years, but unexpectedly, ten years passed.
The complexity of the tricolored teleportation formation far exceeded Chen Changsheng's expectations.
Even with the Thunder Clan's abundant resources, Chen Changsheng wasted countless top-tier formation materials.
Additionally, the progress on the Heaven-Mending Ointment was stuck at a stage.
Chen Changsheng couldn't decipher some of the text in the Heaven-Mending Ointment's recipe.
Attempts to substitute other herbal medicines all ended in failure.
During these ten years, aside from Li and Mun, no one else in the Witch Tribe saw Chen Changsheng.
With Clan Leader Guli's ban, Chen Changsheng's name gradually faded among the Witch Tribe.
"Brother Changsheng, the tricolored teleportation formation is repaired."
Mun ran over excitedly to congratulate Chen Changsheng.
Hearing the news, Chen Changsheng, who was refining pills, also looked up.
"It's finally repaired, so it's time for me to leave."
Saying this, Chen Changsheng began to pack some things.
However, as he was about to leave, Mun spread her arms to block him.
"Brother Changsheng, I want to leave with you."
Looking at Mun in front of him, Chen Changsheng said, "Mun, you know me, and you know my choice."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Mun showed a bright smile.
"Brother Changsheng, I know you won't stop for anyone, and I'm the same."
"The path you walk is long and endless."
"But you can't refuse those who want to walk with you!"
"Mun wants to walk with you, even if this journey is just a fleeting moment in your life."
Faced with Mun's request, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng smiled.
"Alright!"
