Chapter 534: Chapter 540: Is it Really That Terrifying? (Second Update)
Yang Zhen had originally intended to call himself Yang Tiexin, but later feared it would incur copyright fees. Plus, the old iron-head was green as a gourd, he switched gears and changed his name to Yang Zhaxin.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Guo Jing and the others were at first taken aback, apparently not expecting such a peculiar name to exist in the world. They then laughed and said, “So you’re Heart-Piercing Friend!”
Heart-Piercing Friend…that sounded so awkward, but whatever, Heart-Piercing Friend it was.
Yang Zhen laughed it off, asking, “What exactly is this Mountain River Academy?”
Guo Jing hurriedly explained, “Mountain River Academy, like Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, is a sect passed down from the Upper Genesis Era. Even the people of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Heavenly Snow Holy Domain hold them in high regard. However, for some reason, we have yet to hear any news about the Mountain River Academy, and this relic site has remained here, untouched.”
Yang Zhaxin had an epiphany, no wonder the relic site looked so majestic, like a prestigious university. It turned out to be a major sect passed down from the Upper Genesis Era.
After hearing Guo Jing’s words, apart from his epiphany, Yang Zhen harbored a doubt and asked, “Didn’t all the major sects from the Upper Genesis Era remain intact?”
Guo Jing hesitated and shook his head, “I honestly don’t know. Rumor has it that even the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Heavenly Snow Holy Domain are somewhat puzzled.”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen suddenly had a thought. With a hesitant look on his face, he asked, “Is this place the Final Void Mountain Range?”
“Huh?” Guo Jing’s eyes lit up, and he replied, laughing, “It seems that Friend Heart-Piercing here isn’t completely ignorant about this place. You’re correct, this is indeed the Final Void Mountain Range, which is the legendary location of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land.”
Yang Zhaxin recalled Master Tie. In the dialogue between Master Tie and Fang Zhongjian, Master Tie seemed to be the head of the Final Void Academy which was in Final Void Mountain Range. Was there a connection between Master Tie and this Mountain River Academy?
Since they were from the same mountain range, even if there wasn’t a direct relationship, there would be some form of ties. He might as well ask if the Final Void Academy of Master Tie originated from the Mountain River Academy.
Seemingly noticing the hesitation in Yang Zhen’s face, Guo Jing laughed, “Don’t be so tense, Friend Heart-Piercing. Although the relic site of the Mountain River Academy is full of dangers, if you’re careful, there’s no real danger. After all, it’s well-known in the Northern Island and almost every practitioner from the island has visited.”
The female practitioner who had laughed earlier chimed in, “A major sect from the Upper Genesis Era, who wouldn’t want to come here to see if there are any inheritances. Thus, we’re pretty familiar with this place, and as long as there’s no Black Sand Storm, there’s hardly any other danger.”
“What’s a Black Sand Storm?” Yang Zhen asked subconsciously. When he heard Guo Jing speaking earlier, they had mentioned Black Sand. It seemed that the woman surnamed Feng was here for the Black Sand.
Upon mentioning the Black Sand Storm, the faces of the five suddenly became unnaturally grim. Guo Jing gave a wry smile, explaining, “Black Sand is an extremely rare refining material and also a medicinal catalyst. Even the slightest amount of Black Sand found in the relic site of Mountain River Academy can be exchanged for a lot of crystal stones. It’s generally the case that a practitioner who finds Black Sand in the relic site will have abundant training resources for the next decade.”
Yang Zhen didn’t really care about training resources, but since Black Sand was praised so highly, he was curious and also found it very strange.
If there were Black Sand Storms here, then there was obviously a lot of Black Sand. Why did the woman surnamed Feng look so worried?
In the subsequent conversation, Yang Zhen gained a thorough understanding of the Mountain River Academy relic site.
As Yang Zhen expected, Black Sand was not exactly scarce, it often appeared in the form of a Black Sand Storm.
Whenever a Black Sand Storm erupted in the Mountain River Academy relic site, it was the worst nightmare for most practitioners. Even the strongest practitioners in the Mahayana Phase couldn’t obtain even the slightest bit of Black Sand. They could only find a place to hide and wait for the Black Sand Storm to pass.
Yang Zhen was in awe. Were these sandstorms really that terrifying?
Seeing the skeptical look on Yang Zhen’s face, Guo Jing grinned and said, “Friend Heart-Piercing, don’t underestimate the Black Sand Storms. I once saw a practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Phase get caught in a Black Sand Storm and turn into a dry corpse on the spot. There was no way to save him.”
Yang Zhen gasped, exclaiming, “Is it really that terrifying?”
What the hell was that damn cat doing in this place? Could it be that the treasure it had hidden was in this ghostly place?
Yang Zhen circled the Mountain River Academy relic site, but didn’t find a trace of the cat. If the volatile chicken was here, that would be great. That chicken was quite good at finding people. He wondered how it was doing cultivating in the Ice Palace Hall and if the young girl had entered the Tribulation Crossing Phase yet.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, staring at the battered Mountain River Academy relic site. Regardless of whether or not there was the so-called Black Sand in this place, if the damn cat had disappeared from here, Yang Zhen absolutely needed to turn this Mountain River Academy relic site upside down! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The six of them ventured into the relic site of the Mountain River Academy. Apart from Yang Zhen, who was still acting a little carefree, the other five were all looking solemn.
According to Guo Jing, this was their third time entering the Mountain River Academy relic site this month, aiming to find some Black Sand.
Yang Zhen was still unclear about what Black Sand really was, and asked curiously.
“What exactly is Black Sand?”
Guo Jing paused for a moment before explaining, “As I said earlier, Black Sand is a very rare refining material highly favored by master refiners. It’s said that Black Sand can only reach its fullest potential in the hands of a master refiner; when melted into a Spirit Treasure, it can significantly enhance the power of the Spirit Treasure.”
“Black Sand… it’s exactly as the name suggests, isn’t it? Black sand?”
“Well… more or less!”
Yang Zhen nodded, his face suddenly displaying a peculiar expression as he looked at Guo Jing and asked, “Did you just say that no other practitioners have been here recently?”
“Yes!” Guo Jing looked at Yang Zhen with a curious expression, asking, “Why do you suddenly ask this?”
Yang Zhen pointed to the area behind them and said, “Take a look behind you!”
Upon leading the group to turn around, Guo Jing and the others drew a deep breath in shock, exclaiming, “What’s going on? Why are there suddenly so many people?”
How would Yang Zhen know why there were suddenly so many people? All he was certain of was that something incredible was about to happen at the Final Void Mountain Range.
There were about a thousand people rushing frantically towards them and, quite a few more were following at a distance. These people must have received some information to be converging on the Mountain River Academy relic site all at once.
The leading group was the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, which was closest to this place, and Fang Zhongjian was among them.
The others were from various other forces, even people from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain had arrived. This included someone Yang Zhen recognized – Ji Yourong.
Ji Yourong wore a pale yellow dress but was devoid of any warmth. Instead, her chilliness had deepened, her cold demeanor coupled with her body exuding a sense of purity.
