Chapter 589: Peak of the Sacred Mountain
Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s question, Bai Suzhen’s expression became slightly serious.
She carefully remembered the power Su Jingzhen had unleashed in his previous attack.
Then she seriously replied, “If you can maintain that level of martial prowess, you won’t just be invincible at the Soul Formation level. You will also have a place for yourself in the Divine Intent Realm.
Ordinary cultivators in the Divine Intent Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand your previous strike.
Of course, you would still not be able to defeat cultivators at the mid-stage of Divine Intent or above,”
Bai Suzhen spoke with utmost sincerity, neither biased nor exaggerated.
However, her tone was undeniably filled with admiration for Su Jingzhen.
To have reached this level at the sixth stage of Flesh Body Nascent Embryo was already the most outrageous cultivator she had ever met.
Even though Shen Yifeng seemed to have achieved something even more outrageous at the mid Nascent Soul level, Bai Suzhen knew something about Shen Yifeng. In her opinion, Su Jingzhen was even more outrageous.
Without waiting for Su Jingzhen to say anything more, Bai Suzhen’s azure eyes returned to a serious expression.“Speaking of which, your mastery of this innate divine skill should only be at its most rudimentary stage, right?
In the future, if you can become more proficient, your power will probably increase again.
Then, when your body cultivation breaks through, you would be unbeatable in the Divine Intent Realm.”
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with endless anticipation.
Su Jingzhen became even more excited. His day and night of dedicated research had finally yielded the desired results.
With this, once he opened the Yin Tang Acupoint and then the other human secret repositories, he would undoubtedly send a powerful shock to the cultivators in the Luo River region.
“Yan Clan, Ji Clan, Tortoise Sect, wait for me. I’m coming soon.”
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
All of these forces had some kind of karmic connection with him, and some of them were outright enemies.
When he arrived as a Heavenly Dragon, he would definitely make these forces tremble if given the opportunity.
He took out a few Rebirth Pills to heal his injuries, and then left the forest with Bai Suzhen.
After all, he had already decided to leave the spiritual veins here.
There was no need to stay any longer. He also wanted to see the scenery at the top of this sacred mountain.
After all, he had already encountered Xue Qianlong, a legendary figure, halfway up the mountain.
So he thought that there must be even more formidable beings at the top.
When he returned to the mountain path and saw Su Jingzhen walking straight up the mountain without hesitation, Bai Suzhen spoke again, “Perhaps you shouldn’t have too high expectations for the summit of this sacred mountain.
In my opinion, the existence of Xue Qianlong in this small secret realm is already against the heavens.
Even I feel that all the miracles in this small secret realm should be attributed to Xue Qianlong.”
Bai Suzhen had felt that something was strange about this whole thing.
Unconsciously, she seemed to start thinking about things for Su Jingzhen.
She also talked more.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s endless anticipation for the Sacred Mountain, she couldn’t help but pour a bucket of cold water on him.
Otherwise, if he went there full of hope and returned disappointed, his Dao heart might be damaged.
Even though she knew that Su Jingzhen’s Dao heart couldn’t be that fragile, she still felt the need to remind him.
The fog still obscured the path ahead, but Su Jingzhen nodded and continued walking.
After about an hour, he reached a spot near the summit.
There, he saw a familiar figure.
It was Luo Yuebai!
A night had passed, but Luo Yuebai was still here.
She was still trying to climb to the top of the Sacred Mountain.
A crimson aura surrounded her, forming a kind of protection.
This aura came from the sect leader’s token that she held in her hand.
But in the course of a night, no matter what she tried, she couldn’t move even a foot forward.
Seeing the figure who was still trying, Su Jingzhen stopped, his eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
“Yuebai is here too? Isn’t it said that everyone sees different things?
Could it be that when you reach the top of the Sacred Mountain, everyone will converge at the same point?”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself. At that moment, Luo Yuebai seemed to have heard the sound behind her.
When she turned her head and saw Su Jingzhen’s figure, the worry in her heart suddenly disappeared.
A bright smile appeared on her lips.
“Why are you still behind? I’ve been looking for you, I thought you had already gone up.”
It seemed like a simple, straightforward statement without too much emotional fluctuation.
But in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes, small golden characters suddenly appeared.

To Su Jingzhen’s surprise, Luo Yuebai had given him another triple hit.
“I’m the only Chief Acolyte of our Evil Moon Sect, aren’t I? This mountain is the sacred mountain of our evil moon sect. What could possibly happen to me here?”
He briefly explained his previous encounter in the forest below, then subtly shifted the conversation to the summit.
Luo Yuebai’s eyes flickered with curiosity, but she didn’t push any further.
She turned her gaze to the peak.
It was still shrouded in endless spiritual mist.
She had tried all night, but she couldn’t escape the range of this mist.
No matter how many steps she took, she always ended up back at the starting point.
“Even with the protection of this sect leader token, I still can’t get out of this mist.
At my current cultivation level, it seems unlikely that I can break through this fog and reach the top.”
A hint of dejection crept into Luo Yuebai’s voice.
After all, she was the sect leader, yet a place within her own sect was closed to her. It was undeniably frustrating.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen also looked up.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he grabbed Luo Yuebai’s hand firmly.
“I’ll take you there.”
Su Jingzhen’s voice was full of confidence.
Of course, it wasn’t confidence in himself, but confidence in Xue Qianlong’s supernatural powers and Bai Suzhen’s abilities.
Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen pulled Luo Yuebai towards the spiritual mist.
This time, Bai Suzhen didn’t need Su Jingzhen to plead with her telepathically. She proactively channeled a mysterious energy into him.
A white barrier seemed to solidify around him, blocking the spiritual mist from approaching.
Step by step, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai walked through the dense mist without any obstacles or unexpected events.
They reached the top of the Sacred Mountain, which overlooked the entire small secret realm.
Luo Yuebai blinked her eyes several times.
She looked at everything on the peak, then at Su Jingzhen, her heart filled with shock.
She seemed unable to believe that this was real.
She had tried all night, using every method imaginable, but she couldn’t escape the mist.
Yet, Su Jingzhen had done it so easily.
People are truly infuriating when compared.

The summit had a small, barren platform with no vegetation.
The ground was covered with a complex pattern that resembled an altar, although it was already cracked.
Here, Su Jingzhen truly felt a sense of ancient and fierce energy.
“Could this really be related to Xue Qianlong?”
