Chapter 268: Summit of the Five Mountains
Just as Bai Qi waved his sleeve, Sun Zhe felt the scene before him suddenly darken, and he instantly fell into a state of dizziness. When he regained his senses, he found himself standing in mid-air, looking down at the vast and boundless Xianyang City.
Beside him stood Bai Qi in a black robe, his cold gaze fixed on a certain mansion in the southern part of Xianyang City, the corners of his thin lips curling into an almost imperceptible arc.
"Let's go!" With a faint remark, Bai Qi's figure expanded, and the two of them flew off into the distance together.
With Bai Qi carrying him, Sun Zhe's speed increased several times, truly experiencing what it meant to move at the speed of a blink. He could only hear the piercing cold wind whistling past his ears. At such a height of thousands of feet, even with Sun Zhe's eyesight, he could only see vague shadows below and could not make out any detailed structures.
"Lord, you should be able to tell me where the Warrior Tribe is located now, right?"
Looking at the indifferent Bai Qi beside him, Sun Zhe's eyes flickered slightly. After a while, once they had left the range of Xianyang City, Sun Zhe finally couldn't help but speak up.
He knew that with this proud individual beside him, if he didn't ask anything, it was likely that nothing would be revealed.
"The Warrior Tribe is an ancient clan whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary forces. They are also one of the most important powers of our human race on the Nine Continents Mainland. However, their location is somewhat special; they can be within the Nine Continents Mainland but can also be outside of it."
Even for Bai Qi's prideful nature, there was a hint of seriousness when it came to discussing the Warrior Tribe. The might of the War Clan was enough to earn respect from such a powerful being.
"They actually exist in another independent space. However, this space is much more advanced than the Eight Directions World, so it cannot be considered a separate world. This space is supported by the Five Great Mountains on the Nine Continents World, with its entrance located at Mount Tai, the supreme among the Five Great Mountains."
"The Five Great Mountains..." Sun Zhe trembled slightly, disbelief flashing in his black eyes. He vaguely understood why he always felt that Jingjing was nearby; Northern Yue Village was backed by Northern Peak Hengshan, which was precisely situated beneath that peculiar space.
"Indeed. When Pangu the Great wielded the Giant Axe to create the land, after his death, his body transformed into the mountains known as the Five Great Mountains. His head became Mount Tai in the East, his feet became Western Peak Huashan, his left arm became Southern Peak Hengshan, his right arm became Northern Peak Hengshan, and Central Mount Song was formed from his abdomen. It is said that if one could unite the Five Great Mountains into one, they could even recreate Pangu the Great's supreme divine might." At this point, even Bai Qi couldn't help but show a deep yearning.
Pangu was a significant figure who opened up the land and could be considered a benefactor to all beings in the Nine Continents World. Few people within the Nine Continents did not revere this creator deity.
"Since the Five Great Mountains possess such miraculous power, why has no one acted upon them until now?" Sun Zhe furrowed his brow and asked in confusion. According to someone like Bai Qi, something more monstrous than divine artifacts would surely attract everyone's attention; those major forces would fight tooth and nail for them.
"You only know one side and not the other. Although the Five Great Mountains appear ordinary on the surface, each mountain is guarded by mountain gods whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. Even I am somewhat inferior; more importantly, since all Five Great Mountains are transformed from Pangu's body, their true mountain structure rivals that of divine artifacts. Their weight exceeds millions of pounds; even if you possess powers capable of moving mountains and filling seas, you cannot shift them even slightly."
"Alright, alright. You will naturally understand these matters once you reach that level in the future. Knowing some things too early may not be good for you. Let’s talk about your Warrior Tribe now."
Bai Qi's gaze flickered before he changed topics. As he spoke, his flying speed slowed down by a third. Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe's expression tightened as he immediately adopted a serious demeanor; after all, this concerned his upcoming actions and he had to treat it with seriousness.
"In the space of the Warrior Tribe, we can enter from the peak of Mount Tai. Although it sounds simple, it is actually extremely difficult; otherwise, I wouldn't have specially sought you out," Bai Qi stated without any concealment, directly revealing the reason for inviting Sun Zhe.
"Is it because of the mountain god guarding Mount Tai?" Sun Zhe raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That's just one of the reasons. I don't know how the War Clan managed to control this peculiar space or even reached an agreement with the Taishan Mountain God. Anyone who is not a member of the War Clan is not allowed to enter the summit of Mount Tai, where the Taishan Mountain God resides. As long as one is within Mount Tai, that mountain god is an invincible existence; almost no one can match him. Because of this, very few people can enter the summit of Mount Tai."
"But I'm not a member of the War Clan; I..." Sun Zhe's expression tightened as he prepared to speak.
"No, you are a member of the War Clan!" Bai Qi coldly interrupted before Sun Zhe could finish. "You possess a top-tier War Clan Totem and have practiced War Clan cultivation techniques, so in the eyes of that mountain god, you are indeed one of them!"
Every citizen of the Qin State has relevant registration with the Ministry of Revenue. Sun Zhe is identified as a person from Northern Yue Village in the Qin State, and Bai Qi certainly knows this. However, if he insists that Sun Zhe is a member of the War Clan, it is not entirely unreasonable. With his War Clan Totem and cultivation techniques, Sun Zhe's current conditions fully meet those of a War Clan member. After all, what the Taishan Mountain God can see is limited to these aspects.
"Besides that, there should be other conditions for outsiders to enter the Warrior Tribe, right?" Sun Zhe maintained his composure and suddenly spoke again after a moment.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Bai Qi's dark eyes; he clearly did not expect Sun Zhe to think of this. He nodded and replied,
"Indeed, ever since that Cataclysm occurred, the Warrior Tribe has entered this peculiar space and has not come out since. No one knows their situation anymore; in fact, most people in Jiuzhou have forgotten about this once-dominant race from Ancient Times. At their entrance, besides having the Taishan Mountain God guard it, they also placed an ancient supreme artifact of the Warrior Tribe—the Nine Reincarnation Tower!"
"The Nine Reincarnation Tower?" Sun Zhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling an ominous sensation.
"Although most members of the War Clan have entered that space, there are still a few remaining outside. As long as they are on the Nine Continents, no matter where they are, they can sense the power of the Nine Reincarnation Tower and find their way back to their tribe. Besides guiding them, this Nine Reincarnation Tower has another function: detection!"
At this point, Bai Qi suddenly paused mid-sentence and fixed his cold gaze on Sun Zhe, slowly enunciating the word "detection."
"Is it to detect someone like me who lacks War Clan blood but possesses a War Clan Totem and practices their cultivation techniques?" A bitter smile appeared on Sun Zhe's face as he helplessly asked. He understood why Bai Qi had waited until now to tell him everything; at this moment, he probably had no room to refuse.
"Exactly! The members of the War Clan have remained closed off; we need someone to convey messages into their ranks. This concerns not only the prosperity of Qin State but also the survival of humanity!" Bai Qi did not hide anything and nodded slowly while speaking seriously. For someone like Killer God Bai Qi, who was usually extremely proud, this was unprecedented.
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Sun Zhe slowly closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. The cold wind at high altitude fiercely struck his face as his black hair was tossed about freely; yet Sun Zhe felt nothing.
Bai Qi remained silent as he calmly watched Sun Zhe. Some things only needed to be hinted at; he believed that with Sun Zhe's intelligence, he would understand how to choose. Although he had a good impression of Sun Zhe, some matters were beyond his choice—if possible, he would have already ventured into the Warrior Tribe himself.
"Is there any chance of survival?"
After a while, Sun Zhe finally opened his eyes slowly and softly asked. His black pupils returned to a state of calmness—tranquil like still water, pure without any impurities.
"As long as you pass the fifth transition of the Nine Reincarnation Tower, you can enter the Warrior Tribe. To be honest, you are not the first person to attempt this. Many have tried before you, and some who have not yet passed have come out alive from within. Of course, more people have died inside the Reincarnation Tower. As for the odds..."
"You don't need to worry. After all, some have come out alive from there, so it's possible that those who haven't made it out have already entered that strange space."
Sun Zhe interrupted Bai Qi without hesitation, smiling as he spoke, showing no signs of reluctance.
"In that case, I'll be on my way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe took the lead and stepped forward, not using his domain to protect himself, allowing the cold wind to hit him while the sound of his clothes rustled in his ears.
Watching the young figure gradually move away, Bai Qi's gaze couldn't help but flicker slightly. He realized that he seemed to be having trouble seeing this young man clearly.
"Let's go!" With a soft sigh, Bai Qi's figure also vanished from the spot.
