Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 380: Shenmo Mountain!

With that, Lei Changshan turned and left. Zhang Cangsong hurriedly chased after him.

When they arrived at a deserted courtyard, Lei Changshan finally stopped, and Zhang Cangsong fell in behind him.

Although he was displeased, he maintained a respectful expression. He cupped his hands toward Lei Changshan and said, "Elder!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Changshan slowly turned around. He looked at Zhang Cangsong and said indifferently, "I know you’re angry. So am I."

Zhang Cangsong clenched his fists tightly. "Damn it! That guy is too despicable, using such vile methods against me. Otherwise, he would have had no chance of winning this match!"

The corners of Lei Changshan’s mouth twitched. He was speechless. He’d been completely overwhelmed, so where on earth did this fool get the confidence to claim it should have been a guaranteed win?

Completely oblivious to Lei Changshan’s speechlessness, Zhang Cangsong continued to ask, "Elder, how can I enter Shenmo Mountain to undergo tempering?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"You didn’t even make it into the top three, and you’re still thinking about entering Shenmo Mountain to be tempered?" Lei Changshan frowned.

Zhang Cangsong said quickly, "Elder, you promised that you would let me enter Shenmo Mountain for tempering..."

"Enough!" Lei Changshan interrupted sharply. "I recall saying that the prerequisite for you to enter Shenmo Mountain for tempering was to place in the top three of this disciple assessment. But look at your current rank. Do you have the nerve to bring this up with me?"

Zhang Cangsong looked embarrassed but still chuckled sheepishly. "Elder, I believe you definitely have a way to get me in!"

That single sentence made Lei Changshan laugh in exasperation, and he shook his head helplessly. He began to question how he’d ever agreed to help this guy. What a complete fool!

He scolded Zhang Cangsong directly, "What do you think Shenmo Mountain is? That’s the forbidden ground of our Jinglei Sect! Not just anyone can enter. Do you think this is child’s play?"

Zhang Cangsong lowered his head in embarrassment and asked in a low voice, "So what should I do?"

"What should you do?" Lei Changshan snorted coldly. "There’s nothing to be done! I gave you a chance, but you weren’t good enough. What do you expect me to do about it?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cangsong clenched his fists tightly as a thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Damn it! It’s all that bastard’s fault! If it weren’t for him, I should be the one entering Shenmo Mountain for tempering right now!"

Sensing Zhang Cangsong’s rage, Lei Changshan couldn’t help but sigh softly.

"Cangsong, I had already arranged things perfectly for you in this disciple assessment. It was just your bad luck to run into a kid like that."

Lei Changshan continued, "That youngster’s strength is not to be underestimated. Even though your Realm was completely superior to his, he was still able to suppress it and crush you. That alone shows he has many tricks up his sleeve. You can’t complain about losing to him."

"Am I just supposed to accept this?" Zhang Cangsong was indignant.

Lei Changshan said indifferently, "You no longer have the chance to enter Shenmo Mountain for tempering. However, rest assured. Even though you can’t go in now, I will still do my best to secure an opportunity for you in the coming days."

"That kid made me lose all face. Never mind you wanting to deal with him; I won’t let him off either! Go back for now and wait for my news."

After speaking, Lei Changshan turned and left.

Zhang Cangsong felt utterly helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only wait as Lei Changshan had instructed.

「Meanwhile」

Long Chen, Long Xin, and Tang Le had followed Lei Yiqun to the vicinity of Shenmo Mountain.

The majestic Shenmo Mountain towered into the clouds. Standing there, they clearly felt their own insignificance.

"This is Shenmo Mountain." After stopping, Lei Yiqun turned back and explained to the three of them, "This is the forbidden ground of our Jinglei Sect. Getting inside is no easy task."

"In my opinion, you three are truly fortunate. None of the disciples selected in previous years received this reward. I imagine the other disciples are incredibly envious watching the three of you enter Shenmo Mountain for tempering."

"Once you go in, you must cherish this opportunity and strive to enhance your strength. Remember, you have less than two days inside. The welcoming ceremony is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, so you must be out of Shenmo Mountain on time."

"Alright."

"No problem."

"We’ll be on time."

Long Chen, Long Xin, and Tang Le responded almost in unison.

"Go ahead," Lei Yiqun told them.

Long Chen, Long Xin, and Tang Le exchanged glances, then headed toward Shenmo Mountain. With Lei Yiqun leading the way, the three of them entered.

Arriving at a clearing, Lei Yiqun swung his hand forcefully, and a surge of Qi Force swept out.

BOOM!

A thunderous noise erupted as three Stone Doors set into the rock face slowly rose upward.

"The Stone Doors are marked. Enter according to your rank," Lei Yiqun told the three of them. "Go inside and seize this opportunity."

"Alright." The trio nodded.

Long Chen lowered his head to look at Long Xin. "If you run into any trouble, make sure to come out quickly. Don’t stay inside for too long, okay?"

Long Xin smiled. "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."

After hearing this, Long Chen nodded and went straight into the cave marked with a ’1’. As soon as Long Chen entered, the solid Stone Door instantly dropped down. Seeing this, Long Xin and Tang Le also went into their respective caves.

Upon entering the cave, it was pitch black—so dark he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face. Long Chen took an Illuminating Pearl from his Storage Ring. With the appearance of the Illuminating Pearl, the once-dark space suddenly became bright. Everything inside came into view, allowing Long Chen to see the cave clearly.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Long Chen was quite surprised. He had assumed it was just a small cave, but he never expected it to be a whole other world inside.

The Spiritual Energy was rich and refreshing, in stark contrast to the outside.

Cultivating here would surely yield twice the results with half the effort.

Long Chen continued to walk further in. Before long, he heard the sound of rushing water. Following the sound, he came upon a waterfall plummeting from above. The powerful current had carved a natural, deep pool into the ground. At first glance, the scene was spectacular!

As he approached, Long Chen could distinctly feel that the Spiritual Energy was even denser than when he had first entered. Astonished, his gaze fixed on the waterfall, and his eyes lit up.

It turned out the waterfall itself contained an incredibly dense concentration of Spiritual Energy. If he cultivated here, he would surely make significant gains.

With that thought, Long Chen took off his shirt and jumped directly into the deep pool beneath the waterfall, letting the swift current pummel his body.

Long Chen felt exhilarated, thoroughly enjoying the impact of the rushing water. The Spiritual Energy, carried by the current, flowed into his body, permeating his entire being.

Long Chen took a deep breath and sat cross-legged. He began to circulate the Battle qi within him, intending to absorb all of this rich Spiritual Energy and make it his own
