Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 565 - 564: At the Foot of the Mountain, Those Who Ascend
"Should we pursue?"
The woman in the pink dress looked at the handsome man.
The handsome man had a cold expression, but he shook his head.
"No need, we just need to guard here. I don’t believe he won’t come out eventually.
Besides, he’s gone inside there; eventually, others will deal with him."
Regarding the conversation between the two, Ji Haoyuan was naturally unaware.
Because by this time, he was already standing in front of a mountain about a thousand feet high.
The entire mountain seemed wrapped in a mysterious aura.
Ji Haoyuan tried to enter, only to be met with a terrifying attack.
In the void, countless dense runes sparkled.
They arranged and combined with each other, ultimately transforming into fearsome light arrows shooting towards Ji Haoyuan.
In response, Ji Haoyuan dared not be careless.
For from those incoming light arrows, he felt the aura enough to pierce through a cultivator’s principles.
It was truly an attack that could threaten the Harmonization tier.
One careless move, even for a Mahayana cultivator, would result in dire consequences.
Buzz!
A five-colored canopy suddenly appeared above his head, casting down streams of five-colored divine glow.
While blocking the light arrows’ attacks, he continued maneuvering, moving between reality and illusion.
Gradually.
He realized that if he wanted to enter the mountain, merely dodging or blocking the light arrows wouldn’t work.
He had to truly decipher the rules of those runes, seeing through the essence of their attack, to have a real chance of entering the mountain’s interior.
Simply put, this was a test.
It was a disguised test of his perception.
And this was precisely where Ji Haoyuan excelled.
Soon, a faint halo flowed in Ji Haoyuan’s eyes. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
At this moment, his aura seemed to resonate with the mountain’s concealed mystical aura.
Faintly, there was a resounding Tao sound in the void.
And as the Tao sound rose, the light arrows that had been attacking Ji Haoyuan began to dissipate.
At this moment, he walked straight towards the mountain.
Buzz!
It was as if he passed through a curtain.
Ripples like water waves flowed around Ji Haoyuan.
When he looked again, he found himself already at the foot of a mountain.
To his slight surprise, there were quite a few people at the mountain foot where he had arrived.
Those people all turned their heads to look at him in surprise.
Among them, a man with a golden horn on his forehead spoke with a faint smile.
"Hehe, didn’t expect someone else to successfully come in here.
I just wonder how many steps this person will be able to climb later."
His speech carried a somewhat ironic tone.
Ji Haoyuan recognized that this was a cultivator from a starry sky race known as the Golden Horn Race.
It is said their true form is a species called the Golden Horned Beast.
Their strength in the various starry sky races is considered mid to upper-level.
Ji Haoyuan did not intend to engage with such people.
However, although he didn’t plan to deal with the other party, the Golden Horn Race man did not intend to let him go.
The Golden Horn Race man spoke again.
"Hey friend, where are you from?
Later, why don’t you just follow me up the mountain?"
Having just arrived, Ji Haoyuan was not very familiar with many things here.
Especially regarding the climbing event mentioned by the other party.
He didn’t understand if there was some special significance in it?
However, seeing that the other people present all seemed to be staying put, with no intention of climbing the mountain, he decided not to stand out yet and prepared to observe the situation first.
For now, he shook his head at the Golden Horn Race man.
"I appreciate the gesture, but I don’t plan to be with anyone, so I apologize."
He believed his response was rather polite and respectful.
However, upon hearing Ji Haoyuan’s words, the Golden Horn Race man’s face suddenly darkened, his eyes turning somewhat unfriendly.
"Didn’t you understand what I just said?
I asked which lineage you come from.
As for inviting you to climb the mountain together, did you really think I was consulting you?"
His words caused some in the audience to reveal unusual expressions.
Some people had indifferent expressions, seemingly unconcerned with what was happening before them.
Of course.
Among them were also some spectators who wore interested expressions.
Ji Haoyuan didn’t expect his polite reply to evoke such a response from the other party.
Did he think my origin was ordinary and thus wanted to make trouble for me?
Or was there some unknown aspect about the so-called climbing that required such probing and provocation?
At this moment, Ji Haoyuan’s expression turned indifferent.
He simply ignored any reaction from the other party, treating him as if he were air.
This action further worsened the Golden Horn Race man’s expression, ultimately making it cold.
"Boy, it seems you don’t understand the rules here. Since the mountain climbing hasn’t started yet, let me educate you properly."
Boom!
With his last word, dazzling golden glow suddenly burst forth from the Golden Horn Race man’s body.
In the void, numerous weapons appeared instantly.
Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.
They interwove, producing metallic reverberations.
Ultimately, all these weapons seemed to gain spirituality, slashing towards Ji Haoyuan together.
Upon seeing this, many people present showed some solemnity.
Clearly, the strength displayed by the Golden Horn Race man was beyond what they had expected.
"It’s said that the Golden Horn Race is naturally skilled in the rules of the gold attribute, capable of transforming any Magical Power into killing weapons. It seems this legend is indeed true."
Someone spoke with a hint of solemnity.
Some people’s eyes revealed unusual colors.
They looked at Ji Haoyuan, eager to see how this newcomer would respond to the Golden Horn Race man’s attack.
Soon, what happened next shocked everyone present.
Faced with the Golden Horn Race man’s various lethal weapon attacks, Ji Haoyuan simply waved a palm.
Boom!
In an instant, an extremely brilliant golden light burst forth.
In the void, a golden giant palm descended, seemingly covering the sky.
With a series of explosive sounds.
Under the golden giant palm, those seemingly dazzling, razor-sharp, and formidable weapons shattered like the most fragile porcelain, turning into radiant showers that vanished without a trace in an instant.
