#1021 - Entering the mountain
Two days later, on the second day of the second month.
Auspicious clouds covered the sun, and colorful clouds filled the sky.
Before dawn, people within a few hundred miles around Mount Fangcun noticed this extraordinary phenomenon.
The usually cloud-shrouded summit of Mount Fangcun seemed to suddenly transform into a pile of colorful brocade, with thousands of auspicious rays rising from the clouds, a spectacle unprecedented in history.
Countless people left their homes, gazing at the strange and brilliant colors from afar, clicking their tongues in amazement, believing that a lucky dragon had descended on this "Dragon Raising Head" day.
Many people bowed down and kowtowed in the direction of Mount Fangcun, praying for the dragon's blessing, disaster relief, and avoidance of misfortune, their expressions extremely devout.
Even Wei Changtian and Xu Sui Sui, who had already reached the mountainside, couldn't help but look up at the auspicious clouds above, their eyes filled with shock.
That's right, the two of them had secretly left the city last night using the "Bixing Talisman" and came to climb the mountain.
They had been climbing for half the night and only reached the mountainside, which shows how high Mount Fangcun really is.
And just as the two were sitting on a rock to rest, this exaggerated scene appeared almost instantly.
"Wei Changtian."
Looking up at the sky-covering colorful clouds, Xu Sui Sui said blankly: "It seems it's real."
"Yeah."
Although Wei Changtian was also very surprised, he quickly regained his senses and slowly stood up.
"Alright, stop looking."
"Now that it's real, Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu will probably be here soon."
Nodding, Xu Sui Sui also stood up, letting Wei Changtian carry her on his back, her hands tightly around his chest.
"Wei Changtian."
"What's wrong?"
"Your, your hands are too far back."
"? ? ?"
" ."
Putting strength into his feet, the two quickly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a few fallen leaves floating slowly in the air.
And the auspicious clouds on the top of the mountain became denser and denser, with flashes of lightning seemingly within them.
About two hours later, Wei Changtian finally reached the summit of Mount Fangcun with Xu Sui Sui on his back.
Wei Changtian didn't know how high the altitude was here, but judging from Xu Sui Sui's pale face and the incredibly strong mountain winds around them, even if it wasn't comparable to Mount Everest, it probably wasn't too far off.
Because the air was too thin, the entire summit was bare, without snow cover, but without any grass or trees, only messy boulders and strong winds.
Of course, as a second-rank martial artist, this environment was no different from flat ground for Wei Changtian.
However, Xu Sui Sui was not doing so well.
Even though she had anticipated this situation and prepared a jade pendant with "Qi-boosting and cold-dispelling" properties in advance, the lack of oxygen and extreme cold still made her very weak, and her lips were a little purple.
"You rest here for a while, and take a pill if you can't hold on."
Finding a pile of relatively hidden rocks, Wei Changtian placed Xu Sui Sui in a sheltered spot and handed her a small bottle of pills.
Given Xu Sui Sui's current condition, he didn't have to worry about her running around.
"I'll go take a look around in the clouds to see if I can find out what caused this phenomenon."
Since there were auspicious clouds, it proved that the "Ascension Opportunity" was likely real.
Although there were no other anomalies besides the auspicious clouds, it was possible that the opportunity was hidden within the clouds.
If he could get it first, wouldn't he be able to avoid meeting Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu altogether?
Even though he knew the possibility was very low, Wei Changtian still decided to "go to heaven" first to take a look.
Xu Sui Sui simply hummed softly, then watched Wei Changtian rise into the air and fly straight towards the clouds a hundred feet above the ground.
"Whoosh! !"
The biting cold wind howled through the gaps in the rocks, Xu Sui Sui wrapped her robe tighter, her eyes fixed on the colorful clouds.
Normally, such auspicious clouds should give people a feeling of "excitement" or "reverence."
But she didn't know if it was because the environment at the summit was too harsh, but the more Xu Sui Sui looked at it, the more uneasy she felt.
It was as if these clouds were not from the favor of Heaven, nor were they going to send people to ascend to immortality, but were a huge conspiracy.
Shaking her head, Xu Sui Sui tightly clenched the small porcelain bottle, recalling the system interface in her mind, and glanced at the string of numbers at the top.
2600 points.
Without a doubt, Xu Sui Sui was now much "richer" than Wei Changtian.
How she had saved so many system points was probably only known to herself.
But without a doubt, it was not enough to exchange for a True Dragon's forehead scale.
Even adding Wei Changtian's remaining points would not be enough.
In fact, according to Xu Sui Sui's original plan, if she waited a few more months, she would be able to save almost 5000 points.
It was a pity that this "accident" came too suddenly, and now she had no way to achieve this goal.
But if necessary, she could still exchange for some props such as "Tian Yuan Pill" and "Divine Strike", which might be of great help to Wei Changtian.
"Whoosh! ! !"
Another gust of cold wind poured into her clothes, Xu Sui Sui curled up into a ball, waiting silently.
She didn't know how long had passed, just as she felt her consciousness was a little blurred and she was about to take a pill, she heard a very distant, yet very muffled roar.
"Boom."
"Boom, boom boom ."
From the first sound, to the continuous waves, the roaring sound came from the foot of the mountain, and never stopped since then.
Wei Changtian and Xu Sui Sui's expressions changed, and they looked at each other silently.
Without a doubt, at this moment in Mount Fangcun, Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu had already started fighting.
