Chapter 60 - 60 60 A Whole New World Mount Shenshan City

60: Chapter 60: A Whole New World, Mount Shenshan City 60: Chapter 60: A Whole New World, Mount Shenshan City The colossal warship slowly descended toward the distant shadows. As the Immortal Path warship landed, the dust storms and gloomy hazes in the world were swept away, revealing a massive Spirit Vein city standing between heaven and earth, tucked away in a corner of the land. Towering towers, majestic skyscrapers, and iron structures more spectacular than mountain ranges interlocked to form this grand, transcendental city of Immortals. The warship was descending. In the city, countless flying shuttle lights lit up, resembling swarms of bees as if to welcome someone. An Jing stared for a long time as he watched the warship disappear into the distant skyline, merging into the city’s shadows. Only when the clouds in the sky closed up once more, plunging the wilderness into gloom, did he snap out of it, inhaling sharply, “What is that?! They even have warships!” In the desolate mountains and wilderness, martial artists from the Embracing the Void world were struck by the shocking portrayal of this world view, rendered utterly immobile. Only after the clouds tore apart and gathered again and the misty dust veiled the world once more, with the Immortal Path warship completely landed behind the city, did An Jing wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and sit down on a nearby rock. He pondered deeply. “What world is this exactly?” Still looking in the direction of the distant city, An Jing tried to calm himself down, “Although I realized that this world’s technology is advanced when I saw the firearms and the Spiritual Light guns,” “this is clearly not just ‘advanced,’ but ‘extremely high’ level!” “Hmm, quite an exquisitely crafted magical weapon for waging war; only a Great Sect could forge such a thing,” the Sword Spirit also agreed in his mind, “However, what I just warned you to be careful of was the cultivators inside it.” “Inside that Void Shuttle, there is probably a Golden Core True Lord who has achieved the ‘Immortal Industry’; his Divine Sense envelops this part of the world, allowing him to observe us.” “What exactly can he observe?” Upon hearing this, An Jing immediately stood up, anxious, “Can he find out we’re from another world? Can he detect the aura of another world on us?” “How could that be possible? It’s the Great Void Passage I opened; as long as my Sword Light isn’t extinguished, you belong to this world, and no one can detect anything unusual.” The Sword Spirit denied An Jing’s guess, but the tone was still very serious, “However, the fact that he could potentially discover us, is already extremely dangerous!” “So he can’t discover it, huh.” An Jing’s anxiety slightly eased, and he sat back down, still somewhat perplexed, “If that’s the case, then what’s there to be afraid of?” This series of startling revelations managed to finally pull him out of the shock from seeing the Immortal Path warship. Once calm, An Jing shifted his gaze beyond the mountains to the wilderness and towns: “This wilderness appears desolate, but there are quite a few human villages within.” “If that Golden Core cultivator discovered us, he would likely just think that we are cultivators who ventured deep into the mountains,” “It’s not a disaster to worry about, unless it happens,” the Sword Spirit was still very cautious about this aspect, “An Jing, you must not take yourself too lightly, especially since you possess the ‘Fate Pattern,’ which makes you prone to getting involved in various troubles.” “However, this world still maintains the tradition of Qi Refining Cultivation, which is different from the Heavenly Mandate Martial Arts of the Embracing the Void world.” Upon hearing this, An Jing couldn’t help but be slightly startled, “Does possessing a Heavenly Mandate Fate Pattern make one easily involved in troublesome matters?” “Not necessarily for others,” the Sword Spirit said, “but the two signs revealed by your Fate Pattern, one stemming from escaping disaster and the Demon Sect experience are called ‘Mars Guarding Heart,’ and the other caused by me is called ‘Taibai Erosion and Soaring,’ both are extremely ominous.” “However, great peril can also bring great fortune, so your luck won’t be too bad, it might even be quite good.” “But even so, this represents that you are destined to be at the center of numerous events and conflicts, often facing the danger of bloodshed—just like how you were inexplicably involved in the events between me, the Heavenly Demon, and the royal imperial Sects of the mortal realm. Although you’re lucky and still jumping around alive, one careless move could result in death.” “Is that so?” An Jing was silent for a while but didn’t mind the dire warnings in the Sword Spirit’s words and laughed, “Then it seems my future life will be quite exciting.” After speaking, he looked again for a while at the area where the Immortal Path warship landed in the shadow of the city, then headed to the edge of the cliff to survey the surrounding terrain. Looking out from midway up the mountain, patches of grey-green forest extended to the bank of the Great River in the distance. Due to the Immortal Path warship stirring the clouds, the hazy rain clouds began to collapse on both sides, bringing down walls of muddy rain and thunder. The collapsing rainclouds pressed towards the direction he was in, which was deep within the mountains. Soon, the rain arrived. “An Jing, this place is heavily laden with the aura of Demon Calamity and Evil Qi, even the rain is filled with impurities, we should avoid it for a bit,” Before the wall of rain approached, the Sword Spirit had sensed something amiss and issued a warning, “Although you possess a Fate Pattern and have strong resistance to this, it’s best not to be soaked in it for too long.” “Understood.” An Jing always heeded advice; he immediately retreated back into the cave. The sporadic raindrops soon turned into a dense curtain of rain, but the temperature was not low, feeling more like the muggy rains of the south. Inside the cave, An Jing caught a raindrop with his hand and discovered it was purple-blue, while other falling drops sizzled as they landed on his Heaven’s Will Cult clothing. “Acid rain?” This anomaly momentarily stunned An Jing—his clothing was specially made for the ‘Chief’ of the Hanging Fate Manor, and although it wasn’t resistant to weapons, it was durable and made from excellent materials. Could it actually be so easily corroded by the acid rain of this alien world? What was more terrifying was that the filthy, corrosive rain had no effect on him; he merely felt the rain was slightly warm! “After the awakening of my Fate Pattern, my body is indeed different from ordinary people.” Retreating deeper into the cave, he found a protruding flat stone platform to meditate on, An Jing watched the captivating purple-blue rain curtain engulfing the world outside the cave entrance and couldn’t help muttering to himself, “No wonder, without a Fate Pattern, one cannot break through Inner Breath and achieve ‘Inner Strength’.” “This ability to resist corrosive Demonic Qi is indeed the key.” However, even now, An Jing was not entirely clear about what exactly his ‘Fate Pattern’ was. With the ominous aspects of Mars Guarding Heart and Taibai, he had the ability to control Blood Fiend weapons. Undoubtedly, his Fate Pattern was strong, at least on the level of a ‘Strange Mandate’, perhaps even stronger than Bai Qinghan, possibly a ‘Divine Mandate’. Its power could even allow him to fearlessly endure the corrosive rain of this world without actively utilizing his Fate Pattern. This Fate Pattern was An Jing’s greatest asset in surviving the Embracing the Void and this alien world. However, relying solely on Fate was absolutely insufficient. So, stuck in the cave due to the heavy rain and having nothing else to do, An Jing and the Sword Spirit communicated and carefully analyzed the information about this ‘alien world’. —Firstly, this alien world too had once encountered something similar to the Demon Calamity of Embracing the Void. The barren land and the corrosive rainwater were proof, with the turbid Calamity Qi in the rain having been dulled by the world numerous times but still holding great danger. —Secondly, for some reason, this world still maintained a Qi Refining Cultivation system. That was good news for An Jing because the Sword Spirit was a formidable force within this system. Although unfamiliar with Martial Arts, the Sword Spirit was quite adept at refining Qi, whether identifying secret treasures, guiding skills in Cultivation or even optimizing Cultivation Techniques. With the Sword Spirit around, An Jing would not be entirely clueless as an ‘outsider’ in this world. —Lastly, this world had civilization, towns, and even distant big cities. Simply put, there were both people and resources here, and the technological level was very high, especially in artifact cultivation, which was remarkably skillful. The ‘Refined Metal’ necessary for An Jing’s ‘Taibai Luminous Godly Ban’ probably wouldn’t be hard to find in this world. That an Immortal Path warship was likely entirely constructed of Spirit Steel was enough to prove the productivity of Five Metals in this world. As long as he could blend into the towns of this world, An Jing had the chance to access more resources and rapidly enhance his own power in order to face the potential dangers within the Embracing the Void realm. And elevating even a small stage in ‘Divine Prohibition’, a higher-level Cultivation Technique, would greatly boost his combat power. Possessing resources from both worlds, An Jing could grow stronger at an unimaginable pace, making the enemies of both worlds unable to anticipate his moves. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
