Ji Yuan received a Willow Leaf Flying Sword from Master Qingcheng and witnessed the elder consume three Qi Blood Pills to rapidly rejuvenate. Ji Yuan then attempted to capture the formidable Yin Soul of the fallen Eagle Changkong using his Thousand Souls Banner. However, the soul proved too powerful, and Master Qingcheng intervened, weakening the soul before Ji Yuan finally secured it within his banner.

Secondly... When he just came out from underground and discovered my identity, his instinctive action was to run with me, rather than pushing me out to block Eagle Changkong.

This alone made Ji Yuan feel much better about him.

The deal was completed.

The Yin Soul of this Nascent Soul Cultivator was also taken away, and both of them were relieved.

Master Qingcheng first sensed his current physical condition, then pinched a spell, a cyan spiritual light flashed, and he, who had previously recovered a lot physically and mentally, immediately reverted to his former decrepit appearance.

He even seemed to look even older.

... Yin, truly an old Yin indeed!

Ji Yuan saw his appearance and couldn’t help but feel emotional in his heart.

"Hehe, young friend, you don’t need to be so cautious." Master Qingcheng chuckled when he saw Ji Yuan’s gaze.

"There’s no other way; as a Loose Cultivator, I wouldn’t have survived until now without being cautious."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he once again activated the Transformation Talisman, but this time, he also transformed his appearance into that of an old man with graying hair.

Spiritually listless, with sunken eyes.

He appeared to be on the brink of death, in order to lower others’ guard.

Ji Yuan then turned to look around the stone city and asked, "This place... has senior seen anything? Such a large city should not be for ordinary people to live in, right?"

Master Qingcheng pondered for a moment, waved his right hand, and a stream of light flashed.

Beside the two appeared a giant leg bone, as pale as forest, at least ten meters long.

"What is this...?"

"This is what I discovered earlier from underground. There are quite a few such large bones inside. I speculate... before, there should have been a group of the Giant Race living here in Rashamon Sea, but for some unknown reason, they all disappeared in the end."

As Master Qingcheng said this, he was also surveying this massive stone city.

"At least on the Jiyuan Continent, there has never been any mention of the Giant Race anywhere."

Even Ji Yuan, this little Core Formation Cultivator, has seen the Merfolk Race and knows that there are all sorts of strange races in this world.

Not to mention a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Master Qingcheng.

However, what he said was quite similar to what Ji Yuan had thought before.

"I see."

"I’ve picked up quite a few of these bones. If you’re interested, you can have this one."

"Then I thank you, senior."

Ji Yuan was indeed curious and smiled as he collected the bone.

"There shouldn’t be anyone else in this giant city, should there?"

Ji Yuan then asked.

"When I first came in, Xun Tianji was here, but as soon as I came in, he fled. However, most things have been scavenged here. If you have nothing else to do, we might as well leave first. I think this Butcher Mountain will soon open."

For Nascent Soul Cultivators, this core area is still trivial.

What truly piques their desire for magical combat and contention is this Butcher Mountain.

"Alright."

Ji Yuan had no objections; he managed to get in here purely by coincidence.

"Then let’s go."

After Master Qingcheng finished speaking, he took Ji Yuan along with him, turning his form into a stream of light, and leaped straight out of the city. Within just two breaths of time, Ji Yuan felt himself passing through another array.

When he came to his senses, he found he had returned to the core area of blowing sand everywhere.

However, this place... seemed somewhat different from where he had entered before.

As Ji Yuan was looking around, Master Qingcheng swept his divine sense and understood the situation.

"This giant city is moving; this is not the place we entered before."

"No... senior, look up."

Ji Yuan looked up at the sky and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Hmm?"

Master Qingcheng instinctively looked up.

At this moment, the sky was covered by a floating, golden Divine Mountain that blocked out the sun.

Visible to the naked eye, without the need for divine sense.

And even though it was such a massive Divine Mountain suspended there, those below it felt no pressure at all, nor did they notice any unusual aura.

"Is this... Butcher Mountain?"

Ji Yuan mumbled instinctively.

"It’s very likely."

As Master Qingcheng spoke, it seemed a blue light flashed in his eyes. Looking at the Divine Mountain overhead, it seemed he could already see cultivators engaging in combat within.

"Little friend Ji, are you going? If so, then ascend the mountain with this old man!"

Perhaps because earlier in the giant city, he had killed Eagle Changkong, or maybe this old fellow came with the intention of a final gamble, he now seemed full of vigor.

"Go, since I’m here, how could I not?"

Experiencing this journey, Ji Yuan had come to terms with it all.

If worst comes to worst, he would gamble away fifty years of his lifespan and make a run for it.

This Butcher Mountain was right before him; there was no reason not to go.

Besides, Ji Yuan hadn’t forgotten that there was still a Miracle Treasure related to his Chasing Lightning Cloud here.

He had already experienced the power of Chasing Lightning Cloud.

If he could obtain that Miracle Treasure... Ji Yuan thought his Nascent Soul Stage would be stable!

Even without any other means, simply relying on this Star-Stepping Wheel along with Dao Heart Seed Demon would be enough for him to traverse the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Then let’s go!"

Master Qingcheng laughed, took Ji Yuan along, and the two of them transformed into a blue Escape Light, shooting straight up, drilling into that golden Divine Mountain.

Like a pebble tossed into a calm lake, creating ripples.

"..."

"This Butcher Mountain is probably divided into three levels. At the base of the mountain where we are... even those below the Nascent Soul Early Stage can operate here, but if you want to go to the mountain waist, you need a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, and if you want to reach the mountain top, you need a Late-stage Nascent Soul or above."
