    Thud.


    A dull sound echoed with dust flying everywhere.


    Fang Zheng fell t on his face on the ground.


    Although he fell from a high altitude, it was only for a short time before hended, thus he survived.


    “Spit spit spit!” Fang Zheng sprawled on the ground and spitted grass and mud out of his mouth, a sore


    pain spreading throughout his body as he felt stifled.


    “Where is this?” He took slow, deep breaths and stood up awkwardly before looking at his


    surroundings.


    It was a scenery of green, Fang Zheng felt like he was in a grasnd. The grass rustled with the light


    wind and countless flowers of all colors formed a tapestry that spread to the horizon.


    Far away, there was a tall and precipitous crystal mountain.


    The crystal mountain was half-translucent and was pink like a scene from dreams.


    From his position, Fang Zheng could clearly see human silhouettes climbing the mountain. Compared


    the the crystal mountain, these figures were very small like ants.


    “The first person to ascend to the peak will obtain Hu Immortal Inheritance!” Suddenly, Fang Zheng


    recalled the mysterious girl’s words.


    Who was that mysterious little girl?


    Could they really inherit Hu Immortal Inheritance by climbing this mountain?


    While Fang Zheng was indulging in his doubts, Lord Sky Crane’s anxious voice appeared from inside


    him: “Stupid disciple, what are you still hesitating for? Quickly go climb that Dang Hun mountain!”


    “Master!” Fang Zheng was both startled and happy, “Who was that little girl? And, why can’t I use any


    Gu?”


    “Get a move on already, grasp every second. I will exin to you, listen properly!” Lord Sky Crane


    hurriedly exined —


    “Hu Immortal Inheritance is not a small matter, it is an intact Gu Immortal Inheritance. There can only


    be one inheritor, whoever obtains it will soar to the top and will have a huge chance to be an


    immortal. As for the others, they will obtain no benefits or rewards. The little girl you saw just before is


    the Hu Immortal Inheritance. As long as you ascend to the peak first, you will be her master and


    obtain the Gu Immortal Inheritance.”


    Fang Zheng ran while gazing at the peak.


    He had lived in Southern Border and there were many mountains there, he naturally knew the logic of


    the mountain ‘appearing close but was actually very far away’.


    “Master, I am very far away from this crystal mountain while they are already climbing it. The gap is too


    huge. I also cannot use movement Gu, how can I win?”


    Lord Sky Crane snorted: “Ignorant! This is Hu Immortal blessednd, this ce is not like anything


    else! Although Hu Immortal has already passed away, her will still exists. Your movement Gu has


    already been sealed by Hu Immortal’s will, naturally you can’t use it. Others are also the same, they


    can’t use any Gu. You can only rely on your own physical strength to ascend to the peak and finish this


    test.”


    Fang Zheng could not help being dispirited: “I can’t use movement Gu and there is such a huge gap,


    how can I catch up to them? Strange, we entered the gatehouse one after another, how could the gap


    be so huge?”


    Lord Sky Craneughed: “This is a Gu Immortal blessednd, the time flow here is different. A day in


    the outside world is five days here. You guys entered the gatehouse one by one and the time difference


    was short. But once you enter here, the time difference is suddenly pulled apart. Otherwise, why would


    there be the greatpetition to decide the ranking? Each rank represents a certain advantage. The


    last ranked person basically doesn’t have any hope to win.”


    “So it was like that.” Fang Zheng only then realized the importance of obtaining a good ranking in the


    greatpetition.


    Unfortunately, hecked power and his strength could notpare to others.


    The ten great sects were the heads of Central Continent, they had a lot of hidden talents with extremely


    profound foundations. Even Southern Border’s top ns could notpare to them. In this generation


    of elite disciples, disciples like Fang Zheng, Fairy Bi Xia, Gu Ting and Wei Wu Shang were only second


    tier.


    The first tier were disciples like Feng Jin Huang, Ying Sheng Ji and Xiao Qi Xing. They had powerful


    background and the support of Gu Immortals. From the very start, they received meticulous nurturing.


    A huge amount of resources were provided to them, with them nevercking anything, and


    asionally, Gu Immortal level existences would personally instruct and guide them in their cultivation.


    Comparatively speaking, Fang Zheng was only a countryside boy. Although he had some fortuitous


    encounters, they could notpare to the support of Gu Immortals.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    “My ranking is not high, I can’t do anything about. I already given my best in the greatpetition,


    almost all of my ironbeak flying cranes have died.” Fang Zheng felt regret and also helplessness.


    As he kept on thinking, he suddenly felt something amiss.


    “Master, since Gu worms cannot be used here, howe you are able to talk to me? Master, you still


    had this secret, you are really amazing!”


    “Hahaha…” Lord Sky Crane could not help butugh loudly, “Stupid disciple, you finally realized this?


    But you are overestimating your master. I was only a rank five while alive and after death, my soul is


    residing in the spirit incubating flea, I have nothing left. The reason I can talk to you is because of our


    Immortal Crane Sect’s Supreme Elder Lord He Feng Yang! Fang Zheng, you need to remember, in this


    world, only Gu Immortals can contend with Gu Immortals.”


    “Supreme Elder He Feng Yang?” Fang Zheng was filled with shock, Immortal Crane Sect had many Gu


    Immortals. Among them was He Feng Yang, to think he would be somewhat involved with him.


    Lord Sky Crane meaningfully said: “Fang Zheng, Hu Immortal Inheritance is not a small matter, it has a


    land spirit. That is to say, this blessednd has its own will! Even a Gu Immortal can’t get through force.


    Land spirits are innocent and stubborn, inheriting their original master’s obsession. If a Gu Immortal


    forcefully attacks, even if thend spirit can’t resist it, it could choose to self-destruct and destroy the


    blessednd. The Gu Master that made the forceful attack would also suffer injuries in vain and would


    have disastrous losses, and all their efforts would be futile. Thus, they sent you elite disciples.”


    “In this greatpetition, Feng Jin Huang from Spirit Affinity House is truly amazing! This girl could be


    said to be a genius among geniuses, arrogantly looking down at the crowd, a phoenix among people.


    Your strength is inadequate and it is normal for you to be defeated by her. But our Immortal Crane Sect


    has not necessarily lost. You are our Immortal Crane Sect’s hope for reversal!”


    “Me?” Fang Zheng could not help opening his eyes wide as he had never expected there to be such a


    huge hope entrusted to him.


    He suddenly realized.


    This contest for Hu Immortal Inheritance looked like a contest among the elite disciples of the ten sects,


    but actually was the battle between the ten great sects. Disciples like him were the chess pieces while


    the Gu Immortals of the ten sects were the yers; they arranged the pieces from behind the scenes


    and contested against each other.


    And he himself was the ignorant secret weapon chosen by the Immortal Crane Sect.


    “Master, isn’t the sect having too much expectations for me? I can’t use any Gu now, how can I be the


    winner?”


    “Hehehe…” Lord Sky Crane proudlyughed, “Fang Zheng, do you know what this crystal mountain is?


    This is the Dang Hun mountain in the legends of Ren Zu.


    “Dang Hun mountain!” Fang Zheng gave a startled cry.


    Legends of Ren Zu had spread over the world, Fang Zheng naturally knew of this famous Dang Hun


    mountain.


    Lord Sky Crane continued: “As long as any living creatures enter the range of Dang Hun mountain,


    their soul would receive a shock. The closer they get to the peak, the stronger the force of the shock


    would be. Many living beings don’t have strong souls and their soul would often scatter when they


    reach halfway up the mountain.”


    “Naturally, this is a righteous path inheritance and isn’t as dangerous as a demonic path inheritance.


    Dang Hun mountain’s might has already been suppressed by thend spirit, giving you elite disciples a


    chance of ascending to the peak. If someone is unable to continue, they would be sent out by thend


    spirit. That is to say, there is no risk to your lives.”


    Lord Sky Crane’s tone became solemn: “Fang Zheng, the thing I am about to say is very important,


    listen carefully!”


    “You experienced the destruction of your entire n at a young age and the killer was your own big


    brother. You are determined to take revenge and your will is firm. Surviving this terrible event had


    tempered your soul to be stronger than your peers. But there is still a gap whenpared to


    people like Feng Jin Huang and Xiao Qi Xing.”


    “But you don’t need to be dejected, the ingenuity of Lord He Feng Yang’s n lies here. He used


    secret methods to resuscitate Spirit Incubating Flea. Next, I will use my soul to support you and push


    you towards the peak of Dang Hun mountain!”


    Lord Sky Crane was a rank five Gu Master, he had gone through innumerable difficulties throughout his


    life and at the same time with his long age, he had gained plentiful experience and the strength of his


    soul naturally far surpassed the disciples like Feng Jin Huang and Xiao Qi Xing.


    These geniuses might be at their prime with limitless future prospects, but right now, the foundation of


    their soul could notpare to Lord Sky Crane.


    Fang Zheng was both happy and worried: “With master’s help, I have a chance at winning. But if we


    cheat like this, won’t it be unfair? If other Gu Immortals discover it, what would we do?”


    Lord Sky Crane snorted and reprimanded: “Stupid kid, this is not cheating but ability and talent. We are


    obtaining the Gu Immortal Inheritance with our ability and talent. This is fair! Don’t worry, behind you is


    Immortal Crane Sect, and with Lord He Feng Yang protecting you, other Gu Immortals won’t act


    against you. Moreover, Gu Immortals can’t enter the blessednd. If they enter the blessednd, they


    will suffer the counterattack from thend spirit, thus even if they discover some clues, they can only


    watch helplessly! Hahaha!”


    “Thend spirit is so amazing? Even Gu Immortals are not its match?” Fang Yuan felt surprised.


    “One side will go all out while the other side has to restrain themselves… Moreover,nd spirit has


    blended in with the blessednd, and in the blessednd,nd spirit is an immortal deity able to control


    the whole blessednd. Controlling thend spirit means controlling the blessednd.” Lord Sky Crane


    laughed.


    Realization dawned upon Fang Zheng: “Ah! I understand, that little girl we saw is thend spirit!”


    “Hahaha!” Lord Sky Craneughed, “Disciple, you aren’t so stupid after all, finally realizing it. That’s


    right, that little girl is Hu Immortalnd spirit. Now charge forward bravely. This Dang Hun mountain is


    extremely difficult to climb, it would at least take a year or so. Just in case, I won’t speak much from


    now and will only secretly help you. With my help, you have at least eighty percent chance of seizing


    Hu Immortal Inheritance! As long as you get the Hu Immortal Inheritance, you can rise rapidly, turning


    from beggar to tycoon and be fat from just one bite. This is ascending to the heavens in one


    step!”


    “I understand, master! I will do my very best and not disappoint you!” Fang Zheng’s fierce eyes shed


    with a firm and courageous light.


    “Go, the whole Immortal Crane Sect is looking at you.” Lord Sky Crane spurred Fang Zheng on with


    one sentence and made his blood boil.


    Fang Zheng felt extremely energetic!
