"The Azure Mist Mountain range is vast, where can one find the peak marked on this map? However, this peak is peculiar, resembling a soaring eagle; it should be easy to recognize when encountered. The challenge lies in finding it amidst such vastness, which is a matter of luck."
As he delved deeper into the Azure Mist Mountain, Ren Pingsheng took out a parchment. This was the map that had appeared on the hide when he obtained the Ancient Lan Divine Art. He had copied it down for this journey, which was aimed at seeking the cultivation method associated with the Ancient Lan Divine Art.
"Roar..." A High-Level Fierce Beast suddenly charged out, and upon seeing Ren Pingsheng, it excitedly howled and pounced. Unfortunately for it, it had chosen the wrong opponent; Ren Pingsheng effortlessly drew his sword, and a Sword Light flashed by, severing the Fierce Beast in two.
Now, ordinary High-Level Fierce Beasts posed no threat to him. They were not even worthy opponents. Only the top-tier among High-Level Fierce Beasts might require some effort to deal with. The only true threat would come from the overlords among Fierce Beasts, those top-tier existences. However, such top-tier Fierce Beasts were extremely rare and seldom encountered.
"Forget it; I'll search while gaining experience! The Azure Mist Mountain stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles; whether I can find it truly depends on luck. It seems I will have to stay here for a while." Ren Pingsheng collected some meat from the Fierce Beast and stored it in a Spatial Bracelet, preparing it for Little White Fox.
The area beyond ten thousand miles from Azure Mist Mountain was considered the outer region; anything beyond that was deemed inner territory. The inner region could be described as the kingdom of High-Level Fierce Beasts; even someone at Perfected Qi Refinement level had to tread carefully there. Otherwise, if surrounded by High-Level Fierce Beasts, they would likely suffer severe injuries while trying to escape.
On this day in the inner region, a young man dressed in an Azure Long Robe appeared. He stood over seven feet tall with an unremarkable face. His eyes were calm like water, seemingly hiding countless mysteries. This was Ren Pingsheng appearing in Azure Mist Mountain; without any noticeable movement, his figure suddenly vanished. If an ordinary person had seen this, they would surely exclaim in shock.
"This is indeed the inner region; the air flows faster here than in the outer areas, and there's a faint smell of blood lingering in the air. Truly a place known for its cruelty and high death toll among adventurers."
"Oh, this fellow has a keen nose; he caught up so quickly." Ren Pingsheng glanced in a certain direction and smiled lightly before disappearing again. Just two breaths later, a figure appeared where he had stood.
This was an indescribable Fierce Beast—a white-furred Ape with a single horn on its head and a golden mark resembling a king's character on its forehead. Its pink nose sniffed lightly before it dashed off in pursuit of Ren Pingsheng's vanished direction.
"What kind of Fierce Beast is this? I've never seen anything like it, and its strength is formidable," Ren Pingsheng thought with some frustration as he ran.
Recalling events from five days prior, he wasn't sure whether to consider himself lucky or unlucky. While in the outer region, he had stumbled upon a rare White Jade Fruit that was already ripe.
The effects of White Jade Fruit could purify one's body but were not considered the best. Its primary function was to remedy certain innate flaws in Fierce Beasts, allowing them to evolve into Demon Beasts more easily and quickly. Thus, it was an extremely rare treasure among Fierce Beasts.
Naturally, Ren Pingsheng was thrilled to harvest the ripe White Jade Fruit. However, just as he placed it into a jade box, he was ambushed by the white Ape.
Relying on his strength, Ren Pingsheng fought fiercely for several hundred rounds but found himself unable to defeat it. The white Ape seemed impervious to all attacks; even the power of Seven Star Sword Technique had little effect on it. More terrifying was its horn—no trace remained even when struck by his magical sword.
It should be noted that magical swords are weapons used by Warrior Strongmen; even if Ren Pingsheng couldn't unleash their full power, their sharpness and hardness were not something an ordinary Fierce Beast could withstand. Faced with such circumstances that left him somewhat pale-faced, he decided not to linger and seized an opportunity to escape using his Movement Technique.
However, this White Monkey was not an easy opponent, as it was able to relentlessly pursue Ren Pingsheng. No matter how Ren Pingsheng tried to hide or change direction, it could quickly catch up. At that moment, Ren Pingsheng realized he was in trouble; neither of them could do anything to the other, but this was the inner area. Once a large number of High-Level Fierce Beasts were attracted, even Ren Pingsheng would only have the option to flee.
"Forget it, this White Jade Fruit is nice, but I can't make use of it. It’s better to make a deal." Ren Pingsheng suddenly stopped, and a strange idea popped into his mind. In his view, this Fierce Beast must have an extraordinary identity; otherwise, it wouldn't possess such formidable strength. With its help, Ren Pingsheng believed he could quickly find the mountain peak resembling a majestic eagle.
"Chirp chirp..." The white Ape quickly caught up, its eyes glaring menacingly at Ren Pingsheng. Its aura fluctuated, indicating it was about to attack.
"Wait..." He immediately waved his hand with a friendly smile. Whether it was due to his smile or not, the White Monkey did not attack but instead quietly watched him.
"Ahem... I know you can understand me. How about this? Let's make a deal. I have no use for this White Jade Fruit, so I can give it to you if you help me with something."
The White Monkey blinked its eyes and remained silent, seemingly waiting for Ren Pingsheng to continue.
"If you can help me find this place, I'll give you the White Jade Fruit." Ren Pingsheng took out the previously copied parchment and pointed at the Map, gesturing towards the White Monkey. He tossed it over.
The White Monkey did not reach out to catch it; instead, it waited until the parchment landed a short distance in front of it before slowly walking over and staring at the mountain peak on the map for a while before looking up again.
"What do you think? As long as you find this mountain peak, the White Jade Fruit will be yours."
"Chirp chirp..." After hesitating for a moment, the White Monkey nodded. Suddenly, it emitted a series of strange calls, and soon the surroundings were filled with peculiar sounds. Upon closer inspection, Ren Pingsheng was startled to see dark clouds in the sky—flocks of Bird Beasts.
If this White Monkey used these Bird Beasts against him, he feared he wouldn't even be able to escape. Ren Pingsheng forced a smile and found himself at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, the White Monkey merely gestured towards the dark mass of Bird Beasts, likely indicating what they were looking for. Soon enough, that dark swarm of Bird Beasts vanished from sight.
Ren Pingsheng glanced at the White Monkey, then sat down cross-legged. Although his eyes were closed as if meditating, most of his focus was on watching the White Monkey, while a small part was contemplating what to do next.
With so many flying Fierce Beasts helping him, he knew news would come soon. It was just unfortunate about the White Jade Fruit. Right now, Ren Pingsheng dared not do anything reckless; while the White Jade Fruit was valuable, it paled in comparison to his life. His only concern was what would happen after he handed over the White Jade Fruit.
Soon two days passed. Just when Ren Pingsheng thought there would be no results that day, suddenly a single Bird Beast flew over and landed in front of the White Monkey, chattering excitedly.
A hint of joy flashed across the face of the White Monkey, which then called out twice to Ren Pingsheng, turned around, and followed the Bird Beast deeper into the area. Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng immediately understood that they had found something and eagerly followed along.
Two Fierce Beasts moved at an astonishing speed. After running for about ten hours, they finally slowed down. At this point, they had already entered the Azure Mist Mountain for thirty thousand miles, a place rarely visited by anyone. Along the way, perhaps due to the presence of the White Monkey, they didn't encounter a single Fierce Beast blocking their path.
After another two hours, Ren Pingsheng finally showed a look of surprise on his face. He had spotted a mountain peak in the distance that resembled an eagle spreading its wings, almost identical to the one depicted on the Map.
The White Monkey suddenly stopped and looked at him with flickering eyes, as if saying, 'We've arrived at the location; it's time to fulfill our deal!'
"Ha ha, this White Jade Fruit is yours. Thank you very much this time," Ren Pingsheng said with a gentle smile as he tossed the jade box containing the White Jade Fruit to the White Monkey before disappearing from sight. This was also to prevent the White Monkey from turning hostile.
"Chirp chirp..." After receiving the jade box and taking a look, the White Monkey happily called out twice, gesturing towards the Bird Beast before hurriedly leaving. The Bird Beast then soared into the sky.
"It can't be wrong; comparing it with the mountain peak on the Map, it looks exactly the same from any direction. The Ancient Lan Divine Art must be at the top of this mountain," Ren Pingsheng reappeared and had already reached the foot of Eagle Mountain. This was his name for this mountain.
The mountain appeared to be nearly a thousand feet tall, not particularly high, but its shape was quite unique. Ren Pingsheng took a deep breath and stepped forward; he was fully prepared for any dangers that might arise.
He knew that such an extraordinary technique as the Ancient Lan Divine Art would not be easily obtained if it was placed here. Over the years, countless martial artists had come here—at least thirty or fifty thousand—but he had never heard of anyone successfully acquiring this technique, which indicated its difficulty.
"No matter what, this Ancient Lan Divine Art is mine; I must obtain it," Ren Pingsheng clenched his fists and roared in his heart.
It was precisely because he practiced the Qi Refinement chapter of the Ancient Lan Divine Art that he understood its extraordinary nature. He could say that his current foundational strength came entirely from the Ancient Lan Divine Art. Without its overwhelming Spiritual Energy, he wouldn't be able to unleash those powerful sword techniques.
More importantly, he had not yet perfected the Qi Refinement chapter of the Ancient Lan Divine Art. Its effect could increase his True Qi by one to two times, which was truly astonishing.
