Peerless Divine Doctor
Chapter 2313 - 2314: A Single Path
At this moment, Ye Luo and the others faced a dilemma. They were positioned in the center among the five mountain peaks, so deciding which peak to head towards became an issue.
According to Dao’er, these five peaks appeared differently each time, and their tribe had no desire to climb them due to the extreme danger. In the center, there was a Spirit Lake, from which the tribe sourced the water to brew their liquor, and their clothes were woven from a special kind of grass grown by the lake.
Ye Luo inspected the lakeside and confirmed that it was not the so-called Plane Origin Liquid. However, the lake water indeed contained traces of the Power of Laws, giving Ye Luo a sense that the lake had a certain connection with the Plane Origin Liquid.
Next, he decided to use the Clairvoyant Eye again, for visibility was quite poor. Cultivators naturally had excellent vision, but the sky was shrouded in mist, which was strangely imbued with traces of Law power, thereby obstructing their sight.
To discern any connection between the Spirit Lake and the Plane Origin Liquid, it was necessary to find out the source of the water!
As Ye Luo glanced around, he was immediately surrounded by the Thunder Principle and Slaughter Law.
This provided some defense against the shock impact of the Clairvoyant Eye.
The next moment, he activated the Clairvoyant Eye, and instantly, the vague mist disappeared. In the sky, the dense Power of Laws persisted and was far more concentrated than outside. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Amidst this heavily condensed presence of Law and numerous spatial layers, which were full of deadly intent, Ye Luo noticed droplets falling from one of the mountain peaks into the lake. Each time, only a faint drop fell; without the Clairvoyant Eye, it would be hard to see even without the mist!
Just then, the Thunder Principle and Slaughter Law around him emitted sizzling sounds!
Ye Luo understood that the Clairvoyant Eye was not accepted by the way of this world; even these two Law powers could not resist the encroachment of Dao!
He promptly deactivated the Clairvoyant Eye. Fortunately, this time, it was used briefly, and he was prepared, so he did not suffer any harm.
"Brother Ye, sorry we can’t accompany you up the peak to search for the Plane Origin Liquid. Take this map; perhaps it will help. We’ll wait for you at the lake, remember, within three days you must return here, or I can’t guarantee the Five Dao Ridges won’t close early!"
Ye Luo pondered briefly; maybe three days was the safe duration. Still, for him, it felt quite rushed, considering the peaks numbered five. Luckily, he had set a goal. Climbing all five peaks would surely not leave enough time.
After all, the peaks above were fraught with danger, and he was unsure if he could descend safely.
Initially, he planned to leave Nuonuo in the tribe, given it was relatively safer here.
Because here, spatial fissures and Power of Laws were far too sensitive. If a fight occurred, it could easily provoke an attack from spatial fissures!
Indeed, at this place, the Law power condensed by the space and numerous spatial fissures could proactively attack and devour, following the strength of energy fluctuations.
Therefore, even those significant figures who made it out of traps might not necessarily launch an attack on this tribe.
Such actions might lead to their demise. After all, if they managed to exit, they would be severely wounded, and coming out unscathed was virtually impossible.
Yet Nuonuo did not agree with Ye Luo’s decision, and their mentor-student relationship had become somewhat complicated, primarily after Ye Luo practiced Nuonuo’s Cultivation Technique, causing a shift in their dynamic.
Moreover, recently, Nuonuo’s cultivation level soared, her physical Strength improved by one level, reaching the eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm!
With the Nuonuo Divine Technique, her power might rival that of a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator!
Furthermore, she chose the Body Refinement path, enhancing her survival capabilities.
For this reason, Ye Luo agreed to take her along.
"Hehe, Master, finally we can enjoy some time alone together!"
After leaving the tribe, Nuonuo joyfully exclaimed.
This puzzled Ye Luo somewhat. Logically, he was anxious, yet Nuonuo appeared unchanged, showing no trace of abnormality.
"Are you not afraid?"
Nuonuo shook her head directly, "Nope, as long as Master is present, I’m not afraid. Even if I die, being with Master is the happiest thing!"
Instantly, Ye Luo felt speechless; this seemed a bit odd!
In fact, over the days, as Nuonuo’s Body Refinement realm advanced, her figure and appearance completely shed the childish look, now resembling a fairy with stunning beauty. This made Ye Luo feel a bit uneasy every time he faced her.
This wasn’t due to shyness; he had numerous women, but the problem was, Nuonuo was his disciple. Every encounter with the current Nuonuo made him feel this overwhelming sense of attraction, which was clearly abnormal, causing his unease.
However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on these issues, and he refrained from continuing the chat with Nuonuo, focusing instead on heading to the target mountain peak!
But upon reaching the base of the peak, he encountered another issue!
A reminder struck him: since ancient times, there has been only one path up Hua Mountain! Damn it, the route to the mountain peak was narrow!
Additionally, there was another issue; no flying was allowed here! It wasn’t about being unable to fly; some cultivators couldn’t stand it and attempted to fly, only to be instantly devoured by spatial fissures above, leaving not even a bone behind.
On this sole path, it was densely packed with cultivators.
They cursed, and some even started fights.
Seeing this, Ye Luo felt a headache coming on; in this situation, forget about three days—even half a month might not suffice to climb up!
"Master, shall we try another peak?" Nuonuo suggested.
Ye Luo considered briefly, while the droplets fell from this peak, it didn’t necessarily mean only this peak contained the Plane Origin Liquid. It could also be found on other peaks.
Thus, they decided to head toward another peak.
