NOVPUBWithin this dark space, there was a twisted portal that led to the ’Death Mountain Range’.
"Death Mountain Range? The name alone doesn’t sound like a welcoming place."
Xia Yanyi muttered to himself.
One could judge from the rewards alone that passing the third challenge of ’Mirror Heaven and Earth’, which offered a Divine Seed grade reward, suggested that the trials in the Death Mountain Range could likely reach the ’Entering Saint’ level.
Of course, if one was already a Martial Saint, the difficulty of the Death Mountain Range would increase accordingly, and the treasures left by the Mirror Master would not be easily obtained!
"Let’s rest here for three days, I would like to refine this Spirit Pill first."
Xia Yanyi proposed, planning to refine the ’Bull Demon Body Refining Pill’ he had obtained from the reflections in the mirror, enhancing his strength by whatever amount possible.
"Good, I’ll also take this Immortality Flower."
Su Changkong nodded; he wanted to see if the ’Immortality Flower’ could help him break the major barrier of a 500-year lifespan.
"Everyone, use the Transforming Dragon Gate to strengthen yourself first."
Su Changkong didn’t forget the Divine Artifact Transforming Dragon Gate he possessed, and thus took it out.
The energy of Transforming Dragon Gate, because of its previous extensive use in cultivating Spirit Taoist Sect disciples and Alien Beasts, had been somewhat squandered by Su Changkong.
The enormous Transforming Dragon Gate stood tall in the dark space, with golden gases circulating inside.
"Is this the Transforming Dragon Gate?"
Xia Yanyi looked at the towering gate before him with amazement, aware that Su Changkong had acquired this gate on Heavenly Dragon Mountain.
Su Changkong tossed the Immortality Flower into the Transforming Dragon Gate, using its ’Dragon Transformation’ Divine Skills to enhance the quality of the flower.
Under the influence of the Transforming Dragon Gate, the surface of the Immortality Flower gained a faint touch of silver.
Xia Yanyi and Hong Zhenxiang, alike, strengthened the treasures they had received in the Transforming Dragon Gate.
Once the strengthening was complete, Su Changkong directly chewed the Immortality Flower and swallowed it.
This Immortality Flower was a type of Sacred Medicine that could be used to concoct an Immortal Holy Pill, but concocting Holy Pills not only required a high proficiency in Alchemy, but also other herbal ingredients. Since Su Changkong lacked even the Pill Recipe, it made more sense to consume it directly!
Xia Yanyi also swallowed the Bull Demon Body Refining Pill on the spot to start refining it.
Whew!
Once he swallowed the Immortality Flower and started digesting it, Su Changkong could feel an energy filled with vibrant life coursing through his body, improving his physique and giving him a long-absent sensation of potential metamorphosis.
"Immortality Flower… it’s useful to me,"
Su Changkong silently remarked.
"But not as significant as imagined…"
which let Su Changkong feel somewhat speechless.
Lifespan: 500 years
Potential points: 96
After fully refining the Immortality Flower, Su Changkong saw his lifespan had not extended, but his potential points had increased by 3, reaching 96, nearly similar to the previous use of the Transforming Dragon Gate.
"A lifespan of 500 years, 100 potential points, it seems to be a milestone."
Su Changkong realized both his lifespan and potential points were facing a bottleneck, and breaking through it would certainly bring a vast metamorphosis!
With an increase of 3 potential points, bringing him closer to 100, the Immortality Flower proved somewhat useful. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
"If… I can pass the third challenge and exchange it for a lifespan-extending ’Holy Pill’, I could break this limit and ascend further!"
Su Changkong was invigorated by the thought, a Holy Pill might mostly help him surpass his limits, allowing his potential to achieve a transcendent metamorphosis!
"My physique has greatly improved!"
After spending three days, Xia Yanyi had also nearly finished refining the Bull Demon Body Refining Pill. He felt joyful, realizing a significant improvement in his condition. At his level, an improvement of five to ten percent was already a substantial progress.
"Let’s continue on our journey! Passing this third challenge would make our venture worthwhile!"
Hong Zhenxiang impatiently said, with Xia Yanyi nodding in agreement.
As the Mirror Master had mentioned, the reward for passing the third challenge was of a Divine Seed grade! As long as they could reach the third challenge, they would gain immense rewards!
"Let’s go!"
Su Changkong did not hesitate, stepping forward as the three of them together passed through the twisted portal, towards the next challenge of Mirror Heaven and Earth.
The view in front of them twisted and gradually became clear.
What appeared before them was a vast and enormous mountain range.
Looking from afar under the gloomy sky, mountains thousands of feet high stood towering, with giant trees tens of feet tall ubiquitous.
Standing before this mountain range gave them a sense of insignificance, as if they were in the midst of a primordial range where everything was colossal.
Even the weeds in the distance were tens of feet high, thicker than a person’s waist.
"Unable to fly?"
Su Changkong found that his White Crane Escapes could only glide low, unable to truly fly.
"So the Mirror Master was right, one can only traverse the Death Mountain Range by foot."
Xia Yanyi remarked.
If they could fly, they would just fly directly over the Death Mountain Range, which would hardly be a challenge.
With no other choice, Su Changkong and the others could only slowly trek into the mountain range before them.
"It looks so full of life, why is it called Death Mountain Range?" Hong Zhenxiang muttered.
But as they entered the mountain range through the path, all three of their faces shifted simultaneously.
"Hmm? There’s a force eroding my life? I’m becoming weaker and weaker!"
Once they stepped into the Death Mountain Range, Su Changkong immediately felt a deathly energy persistently eroding his body!
