Chapter 269: Taishan Mountain God
Taishan is not located within the Qin State, but rather in the Southern Region of the Qi Kingdom. In fact, the highest peak of Taishan is not considered the tallest among the Nine Continents, nor is it even the highest within the Qi Kingdom. However, Taishan is the most magnificent, its grandeur far surpassing that of ordinary mountains.
Taishan, also known as Daizong, means "the ancestor of all mountains," which reflects its impressive stature. It stands like an ancient deity in the Southern Region of the Qi Kingdom, serving as a barrier against southern enemies and protecting the territory of Qi Kingdom.
Although the Qi Kingdom is far away, Bai Qi's speed is unmatched by ordinary people. With a flash of black light, Bai Qi's figure appears a thousand zhang away. The unique teleportation technique of a Saint-Level Expert is mastered to perfection in his hands. In less than half a day, Sun Zhe and Bai Qi arrive before Taishan.
Looking at the endless mountain range ahead, Sun Zhe cannot help but feel a sense of awe. Just like seeing Xianyang City, one cannot truly appreciate Taishan's majestic presence without being there in person. The overwhelming might emanating from it makes everyone feel as if they must look up in reverence, as if they are in the presence of something supremely noble.
"Could it be that Taishan really is transformed from Pangu the Great's head?"
With a flicker of his gaze, Sun Zhe murmurs to himself, feeling a strange sensation. Just a single head could transform into such an eternal and magnificent mountain range; what kind of existence was the true Pangu the Great? Or rather, what terrifying being would a living Pangu the Great be?
"Perhaps. Even if Taishan is not transformed from Pangu the Great's head, it must still be an extraordinary existence."
Bai Qi stands behind Sun Zhe and speaks calmly, a hint of admiration in his expression. Although he is a renowned powerhouse on the Nine Continents Mainland, he cannot compare to such an ancient existence. Those beings can no longer be called human; they can only be revered as "gods."
Surprised by Bai Qi's tone, Sun Zhe turns to look at him. He did not expect the usually cold Bai Qi to express such sentiments.
"I'll leave this to you. If you can enter the Warrior Tribe, just hand it over to the War Clan Leader!" Without paying attention to Sun Zhe's expression, Bai Qi hands him a blue orb.
"Okay." Sun Zhe does not ask further questions and directly places it into his Ethereal Ring.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go in. Although we are already within Taishan's range, there is still quite a distance to the true summit of Taishan. What I refer to as the summit is not what you see as Taishan's peak."
As soon as he finishes speaking, Bai Qi no longer pays attention to Sun Zhe and strides deeper into Taishan, seemingly unafraid of Sun Zhe leaving alone.
"The summit of Taishan..." Sun Zhe softly repeats and follows behind Bai Qi.
Neither of them are ordinary people; both possess considerable cultivation. A faint purple light envelops Sun Zhe's feet as he steps forward, instantly appearing three zhang away. Bai Qi is even more extraordinary; he shows no signs of abnormality and moves like an ordinary person, yet each step he takes perfectly matches Sun Zhe’s pace as if he were being pushed forward by him.
Under Bai Qi's guidance, Sun Zhe does not follow the usual route to climb to Taishan’s peak. According to Bai Qi’s method, what they seek as the true summit of Taishan is not what common people refer to as Taishan’s peak; it lies high above in the clouds at an altitude unreachable by mortals throughout their lives.
"Open!"
Cold Voice came from Bai Qi as he stood before a Mountain Valley. He raised his right hand forward, and a blood-red arrow shot out from between his fingers, not striking any physical object but instead cutting through a transparent space.
"Rip..."
It sounded like a piece of fabric being cut by scissors, the harsh noise ringing in Sun Zhe's ears. The blood-red light flashed through the space, and a crack appeared in the previously stable area, which was forcefully opened by Bai Qi using his Divine Ability. Through this crack, Sun Zhe saw another Mount Tai appear before him, with an unsettling aura emanating from within.
"Let's go in!"
With a simple statement, Bai Qi stepped into this space first. Sun Zhe immediately followed closely behind him. Although Bai Qi did not specify, Sun Zhe understood that the Mount Tai inside was likely the true Mount Tai, while the one outside was merely a part of its mountain range.
Once inside the barrier of space, Sun Zhe instantly felt a profound and rich aura that was far deeper than that outside. Looking around, he saw ancient trees covering the mountains and fields, with bizarre plants growing everywhere. Many of these were ancient species that had long been extinct, and rare spiritual herbs were also abundant here.
The most astonishing sight was the towering peak before them, resembling a pagoda piercing the clouds, radiating an awe-inspiring aura. In front of it, even someone as proud as Sun Zhe couldn't help but feel insignificant, as if facing an overwhelming Ancient Deity.
At that moment, Sun Zhe understood why Bai Qi had expressed such admiration earlier; it was likely not for the Mount Tai outside but for this towering peak before them—the divine mountain exuding a strong aura of Vicissitudes. Only such a divine mountain could evoke such feelings in a powerful figure like Bai Qi.
"Move!"
Once they entered the true realm of Mount Tai, Bai Qi no longer rushed like he did outside but instead pulled Sun Zhe along and used his teleportation ability. In the blink of an eye, they covered a distance of hundreds of feet.
This was still due to the oppressive aura of the divine mountain affecting their teleportation technique; each time Bai Qi teleported, he could only move a hundred feet. Otherwise, with his strength, he could have crossed to the peak of Mount Tai in an instant. Nevertheless, their climbing speed was beyond what an ordinary person could imagine. Moments later, the peak of Mount Tai was already in front of Sun Zhe.
Just as they were about to reach the summit, a grayish light curtain suddenly appeared before them. Immediately after, countless massive stones began to roll down from above—some several yards wide and others just a few feet long—like a rain of stones pouring down towards the two who were moving swiftly.
Seeing this sudden scene unfold before him, Sun Zhe's face changed dramatically. The terrifying pressure made it nearly impossible for him to move; moreover, there was no way to evade during their ascent. It seemed like certain death.
But Bai Qi remained unfazed; he showed no signs of surprise or fear as if he had experienced this more than once. He quickly pulled up Sun Zhe, and in an instant, they appeared in mid-air. Once airborne, Bai Qi reached forward into the void with his right hand, and a blood-red spear materialized in mid-air.
The spear was covered with intricate ancient patterns and exuded a chilling bloodthirsty aura. The tip shimmered with dark light, emanating an indescribable presence—it was undoubtedly a Divine Weapon, one that had consumed countless lives; this was Sun Zhe's first impression!
"Bloodthirsty Spear, break for me!"
With a hand gesture and a shout from Cold Voice, the blood-red spear shot upward into the air. Wherever it passed turned into a crimson world as those massive stones shattered into pieces and vanished into thin air. In an instant, the blood-red energy collided with the grayish-yellow light curtain.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom..."
Furious energy poured out in all directions, and a deafening sound echoed continuously. It wasn't until half a tea time later that this chaotic aura gradually calmed down. However, Bai Qi and Sun Zhe remained suspended in the half Void, no longer darting upwards. Only a blood-red spear had appeared in Bai Qi's hand.
"I knew it was you again, human. What exactly do you want? Even if I let you pass, you cannot get through to the Nine Reincarnation Tower. I have refrained from holding you accountable because your cultivation is not easy. Do you really think this deity dares not do anything to you? Or do you believe there are too few powerful beings suppressed under Mount Tai?"
A distant voice filled with vicissitudes suddenly resonated in this space, its rugged tone reaching a radius of several miles, instantly calming everything with an invisible force.
Sun Zhe's eyes suddenly narrowed as he realized that a giant made of earth and stone had appeared before them without him noticing. The giant's massive mouth was moving as if speaking, but the terrifying aura surrounding it made Sun Zhe feel as if he could not look directly at it.
Taishan Mountain God! The four words flashed in Sun Zhe's mind, and the image of the towering Stone Giant merged with his mental image of the Taishan Mountain God.
It was clear that Bai Qi had been here more than once and had dealt with this mountain god on multiple occasions. From the tone of the mountain god's voice, Sun Zhe could tell that its strength might even surpass that of Bai Qi.
Upon hearing the mountain god's words, Bai Qi did not pay much attention but also did not make another move. He took a step forward, instantly bringing Sun Zhe before the Taishan Mountain God, and coldly said,
"This time, it is not me who will enter, but this person." Bai Qi pointed his right hand towards Sun Zhe beside him.
