“Is this the last Gaze of Fate in the Eastern Region?” Xing Chen murmured.
“Yes, the last Soul-Searching Realm Expert in the Eastern Region. So, if we can obtain his Inheritance, perhaps we can uncover why no Soul-Searching Realm Experts have appeared in the Eastern Region for so many years,” the Blue-Clad Girl nodded slightly. The issue of why no powerful figures above the Yang Spirit Realm have emerged in the Eastern Region has been a topic of research among various forces in the region, but after hundreds of years, no one has found the reason.
“Aren't you afraid that a Yang Spirit Realm expert might go there to seize the Inheritance?” Xing Chen glanced at her and said slowly.
“That's impossible. The Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain does not allow Yang Spirit Realm experts to enter,” the Blue-Clad Girl shook her head.
“Oh, so Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance is located in Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain!” Xing Chen exclaimed, finally receiving a piece of information from the Blue-Clad Girl, making his efforts worthwhile.
“You actually tried to extract information from me?” The Blue-Clad Girl realized what had happened and looked at Xing Chen with anger.
“You brought it up yourself; I didn’t extract anything from you,” Xing Chen shrugged with an indifferent expression.
Xing Chen was aware of Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain, known as the first mountain of the Sword Kingdom, and it is one of the highest peaks within Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain.
“Forget it, I won’t hold this against you. However, I must remind you beforehand that there will definitely be many people going to Thunderfire Deity's Legacy. Although no Yang Spirit Realm experts will be going, there will certainly be a considerable number of Earth Soul Realm and Soul Realm individuals,” the Blue-Clad Girl said calmly.
There is a strange power within Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain that prohibits Yang Spirit Realm experts from ascending its peaks; thus, the main powerful figures heading to Thunderfire Deity's Legacy will be from the Soul Realm.
“So many people know where Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance is located. It seems like the royal family wasted their money on that map,” Xing Chen said with a hint of schadenfreude.
The royal family spent thousands of One Hundred Thousand Yuan Stones to purchase that map, which now seems to have little use.
“Not necessarily; that map still has its value. It must contain many details about the interior of the Inheritance site. With that map, one can avoid taking many detours,” the Blue-Clad Girl glanced at Xing Chen.
Xing Chen spread his hands, appearing indifferent.
Under the guidance of Blue-Clad Girl, after nearly half a month, Xing Chen and Blue-Clad Girl finally arrived at Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain.
During this half month, although Xing Chen did not ask many questions, he learned that Blue-Clad Girl's name was Meng Xiner.
"Is this really Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain?" Xing Chen asked as he looked at the towering peak that seemed to pierce the clouds, standing atop the Nine Heavens.
"This is it. The place of the Inheritance of the Thunderfire Deity is at the summit," Blue-Clad Girl Meng Xiner nodded slightly, her gaze on Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain, revealing a hint of fervor.
Just thinking about the Inheritance of the Thunderfire Deity being so close made excitement flicker in Meng Xiner's eyes.
"We're still far from the summit, and it's nighttime; it's not suitable for daydreaming," Xing Chen said bluntly beside Meng Xiner, pouring cold water on her enthusiasm.
This splash of cold water instantly returned Meng Xiner's fiery gaze to its usual state. She glanced at Xing Chen, said nothing, and continued walking toward Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain.
"There are many beasts in Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain. If you die, don't blame me for not warning you," Meng Xiner said lightly as she walked.
"I don't care; I have a worthless life. Unlike you, who values your life so much. Instead of worrying about me, you should take care of yourself to avoid needing me to save you later," Xing Chen shrugged, looking unconcerned.
However, despite his words, Xing Chen had already begun to grow cautious.
The dark night was filled with howling winds, and the surroundings were eerie and terrifying. This atmosphere indeed called for some vigilance; otherwise, one might not even know how they died.
Soon, the two had reached halfway up the mountain. By now it was midnight, and the surroundings had become even more sinister and frightening. Xing Chen could clearly see that in front of him, Meng Xiner's delicate figure was trembling from time to time.
"Hey." Xing Chen called out to the front, where Meng Xiner was.
"Ah—what... what do you want?" Meng Xiner exclaimed, turning around and glaring at Xing Chen with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you're cold. Why are you shivering so much?" Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner, a rare teasing glint flashing in his eyes.
"Mind your own business!" Meng Xiner shot him another glare before turning back and walking ahead. The sounds of animals occasionally echoed around them, causing Meng Xiner to tremble even more.
"No wonder you didn't dare to come alone; turns out you're scared!" Xing Chen muttered.
Although he spoke softly, Meng Xiner still heard him, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flickered in her eyes.
Just then, the ground ahead began to tremble slightly, accompanied by a chilling scream. A sense of inexplicable fear lingered in the hearts of both Xing Chen and Meng Xiner.
Xing Chen felt a shiver run through him; from that scream, he sensed a threat. The beast that made that sound was definitely not ordinary; it must possess at least the strength of the Soul Realm. If it were only at the Earth Soul Realm level, it wouldn't evoke such a feeling of danger.
At that moment, Meng Xiner's entire body was trembling as she stood there in a daze, unable to move forward or backward.
"Hey, you..." Xing Chen walked over and patted her shoulder. Just as he was about to speak, a piercing scream rang out.
"Ah—"
"Hey, first look clearly at who is calling." Xing Chen shook Meng Xiner's shoulders vigorously, trying to bring her back from her fear.
Gradually, Meng Xiner came to her senses, her eyes filled with glistening tears. A powerful figure at the Mid Stage of Earth Soul Realm had actually been scared to tears by the roar of a beast. If this got out, no one would believe it!
"I can't believe you! It's just the sound of a monster, why would it scare you to tears?" Xing Chen's mouth twitched. At first glance, Meng Xiner looked very cute and harmless, but once you interacted with her, you would realize that she had many mischievous ideas in her mind and was quite cunning.
Now, Xing Chen's impression of her deepened. Meng Xiner's true personality was somewhat related to her appearance, but she only revealed this true nature when faced with things she feared.
"Who... who cried? I didn't cry!" Meng Xiner said stubbornly.
"Alright, if you didn't cry, then I did, okay?" Xing Chen rolled his eyes. He noticed that since he started interacting with Meng Xiner, his originally indifferent personality had become more changeable, which left him speechless.
"Then... then..." Just as Xing Chen finished speaking, Meng Xiner's pupils suddenly constricted in fear as she pointed behind him.
Xing Chen turned around and his expression changed slightly. He saw a massive black scorpion that had appeared behind him without him noticing.
This black scorpion looked as if it were forged from black gold, emanating a cold and harsh light. Its crimson eyes resembled those he had seen when he used the Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation! technique, but these eyes were even colder and more ruthless, bloodthirsty and cruel because... they were not human eyes.
"It's a Venomous Giant Scorpion. Although it's only in the Late Stage Earth Soul Realm, even a Soul Realm Expert would find it difficult to defeat it," Meng Xiner finally calmed down and spoke while looking at the black scorpion.
Upon hearing Meng Xiner's words, Xing Chen's expression turned wary. No wonder he had sensed a dangerous aura earlier; it turned out to be a giant scorpion that even Soul Realm Experts could hardly contend with.
"Run! Its poison is very potent; anyone below the Yang Spirit Realm would die upon contact," Meng Xiner said anxiously. Although she had calmed down, there was still a hint of worry in her eyes because the Venomous Giant Scorpion was truly terrifying.
"We probably can't escape; we can only fight back," Xing Chen said, his gaze fixed on the Venomous Giant Scorpion without a moment of relaxation, fearing that if he let his guard down, it would attack him.
"We're no match for it! My poison won't work on it; it'll just become its nourishment," Meng Xiner said urgently. The Venomous Giant Scorpion was immune to all poisons; anything related to poison would only serve as its supplement.
"Don't worry; I can use it to test the power of my Shattering Star Finger," Xing Chen remained unfazed. At this moment, running away would undoubtedly be foolish because the Venomous Giant Scorpion was closely watching them. As long as they made any sudden movements, it would surely launch a fierce attack. Therefore, they absolutely could not flee.
"Alright, since it has come to this, I can only fight it." Meng Xiner lightly bit her lip, realizing that she had no choice but to stay and battle the Venomous Giant Scorpion. Fighting gave them a slim chance of survival, while fleeing would almost certainly lead to death.
At that moment, the Venomous Giant Scorpion's massive pincers swung down towards Xing Chen and Meng Xiner, creating a deafening sound as they sliced through the air. Xing Chen instantly felt an overwhelming pressure enveloping him.
"Ninefold Thunder Palm!" Sensing the terrifying power behind the attack, Xing Chen unleashed his more familiar Ninefold Thunder Palm. Although he had practiced the Shattering Star Finger over the past half month and could now execute it, he was unsure of its actual power. Therefore, he absolutely could not use Shattering Star Finger to counter the Venomous Giant Scorpion's strike.
"Moon Slash!"
Meng Xiner also drew a long sword at that moment and slashed forward with great force.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as the ground beneath Xing Chen and Meng Xiner cracked open instantly. The force of the Venomous Giant Scorpion's attack was at least several tens of thousands of pounds. Even with both of them using Earth-Level Martial Arts, it was extremely difficult for them to withstand this blow.
"Quick, attack its eyes." Blood trickled from the corner of Xing Chen's mouth as he struggled to hold up the descending giant pincers. He urged Meng Xiner to act.
