Capítulo 2202: Chapter 2469: The Wagers of Six Powerhouses
Pilgrimage Mountain, on the steps leading to the summit.
Three figures appeared.
It was Su Mohan, Ren Feifan, and Little Fox.
Little Fox was calm, even somewhat dejected, but the eyes of the other two were filled with shock.
Because what lay before them was nothing but barrenness!
Not a blade of grass grew, only deathly silence.
As far as the eye could see, the surroundings of the steps were barren, filled with a sense of death.
Indeed, everywhere one looked, there were white skeletons.
Ren Feifan felt as if he were standing in the depths of hell.
The chill wind carried the aura of death, causing Ren Feifan to involuntarily shiver.
“It seems the steps are difficult to traverse; so many people have died, they’re probably all failures.”
Ren Feifan lamented.
He sensed a constant oppressive force striking him.
Fortunately, he had recently absorbed part of the Blood Moon’s power, and some Xingcheng power on his body surface helped block some of it.
In comparison, Su Mohan seemed completely relaxed.
The light around her repelled all oppressive forces and cold winds.
This must be the power of the ancient Vermilion Bird’s essence.
“Feifan, I don’t necessarily need to reach the summit; why did you give me that drop of essence?”
Su Mohan’s eyes were somewhat complex.
Ren Feifan smiled, took the first step, not too difficult, but not easy either.
“I’m a body refinement practitioner, my strength is greater than yours, that’s the reason. Let’s go, this is nothing I can’t handle. I want to see what the summit of Pilgrimage Mountain truly is.”
Su Mohan said no more, directly heading up the steps, glancing back at Ren Feifan with each step.
…
Meanwhile, atop the mountain, it was vast beyond measure.
Six elders stood on a cliff, overlooking the entire scenery of the Hidden Gate.
The aura of these six elders was incredibly terrifying!
Standing at the summit of Pilgrimage Mountain undeniably marked them as the pinnacle of the Hidden Gate’s power.
Suddenly, the six sensed a tremor.
One of the blue-robed elders raised an eyebrow, stroked his beard, and laughed: “Someone else has come to die at the summit of Pilgrimage Mountain, and it turns out to be a Divine Transformation Realm youngster. It seems the quality of Pilgrimage Mountain and Hidden Gate’s juniors is declining more and more.”
Another elder with a face full of wrinkles waved his arm, and a scene appeared on the cliff!
In the scene, three figures were climbing up the steps.
It was Su Mohan, Ren Feifan, and Little Fox!
But at this moment, these strong figures focused their attention on Ren Feifan.
Because Su Mohan and Little Fox were surrounded by holy light, entirely relying on others’ power to step on the stairs, they didn’t need much attention.
Ren Feifan was truly climbing by his own strength.
“Since the quality is not great, I’m curious as to which step this guy will crumble into a pile of bones.”
“Come, let’s place bets. The one whose guess is closest wins, I’ll use a Ninth Grade Elixir and bet this kid won’t get past fifty steps!”
“Fifty steps? You’re overestimating this kid. He’s only in the Divine Transformation Realm, have you ever seen anyone from the Divine Transformation Realm reach the summit of Pilgrimage Mountain? Not a single one!” a Taoist-robed elder spoke.
His tone was full of disdain.
“I bet this kid will die at the thirtieth step! A piece of Xuantian Dao Armor!”
“Haha, you finally took out that Xuantian Dao Armor, I must win this. I bet this kid won’t go beyond twenty steps, and as for the stakes, how about my Azure Spirit Blood Sword at my waist!”
Everyone was placing bets.
Only one person had blazing eyes, staring fixedly at the young man in the image!
Because the holy token on his waist was constantly vibrating!
He was certain that young man was a disciple of the Saint Doctor’s Gate!
His body trembled slightly, as if hot blood was burning wildly!
How many years had he waited!
Thousands!
Tens of thousands!
Even millions!
Finally, a disciple of the Saint Doctor’s Gate stepped onto Pilgrimage Mountain!
He had thought the Saint Doctor’s Gate had long since vanished from the Hidden Gate.
But the young man in the image’s bone age was less than thirty!
This proved that this kid had only recently received the Saint Doctor’s Gate legacy!
What did this represent?
It represented that within the Hidden Gate, the Saint Doctor’s Gate had not completely vanished!
It was still continuing!
The few elders seemed to sense something was amiss, gazing at the one who hadn’t spoken.
“Old Han, we’ve all placed bets, don’t be antisocial. Among us, your treasures are the most abundant! The Saint Doctor’s Gate was the eternal number one sect back in the day, take out something for us to see.”
“Yes, Old Han, you’re not being fair, you must bring out a treasure.”
“We’ve lived so long, a little gambling to ease the mood isn’t a bad thing.”
Countless eyes focused on Old Han.
Old Han glanced at Ren Feifan in the image, a confident smile curving at his mouth.
Directly he summoned an ancient mirror!
Six Harmonies Mirror!
The Six Harmonies Mirror was a treasure passed down by Qingyun Sect’s tenth ancestor Wufangzi, engraved with a dragon on top and a tiger below, a precious item of Qingyun Sect, possessing tremendous power. If the user’s spiritual power is strong enough, it can reflect all attacks, placing them in an unbeatable position.
As soon as the Six Harmonies Mirror emerged!
Everyone was stunned! Holding their breath!
Their eyes were riveted on the Six Harmonies Mirror!
Greed and madness filled the gaze of the other five.
This was a treasure among treasures!
All their treasures combined couldn’t match the Six Harmonies Mirror!
Speaking of small bets to lighten the mood, the Six Harmonies Mirror was tantamount to a big bet that harms!
Who would have thought Old Han would bring out such a treasure!
“Gulp.”
The other five swallowed hard, and one spoke: “Old Han, you’re… playing for real? This is the Six Harmonies Mirror!”
Old Han looked at Ren Feifan in the image, hands behind his back, and said lightly: “I’ll bet on this item!”
“Then… what do we bet on, how many steps will this kid surpass?” The blue-robed elder took a deep breath, suppressing his inner shock, and said.
Everyone thought Old Han, being so confident, must bet under ten steps!
But unexpectedly, Old Han smiled, took a step forward, and said with unparalleled seriousness: “I bet this kid will surpass a hundred steps, cross into the summit!”
“Boom!”
The remaining five supreme experts felt as if their hearts had been shattered, eyes widening to the extreme!
A hundred steps…
Hiss…
Was Old Han insane!
How could a Divine Transformation Realm youngster cross a hundred steps and reach the summit!
Even if Pilgrimage Mountain collapsed, it couldn’t happen!
The key point was he had wagered the Six Harmonies Mirror on this kid!
Hearing Old Han’s words, all present gasped heavily!
Lunatic!
Absolutely insane!
Where did Old Han’s confidence come from!
Old Han’s eyes were incredibly determined!
A disciple of the Saint Doctor’s Gate cannot be trash!
A disciple of the Saint Doctor’s Gate cannot be a coward!
Even though that kid is only in the Divine Transformation Realm!
As long as he is acknowledged by the Saint Doctor’s Gate, he can even slay Cycle Realm experts!
What mere steps could hinder him!
