Chapter 240: Walking Down Kunlun Mountain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Spring passed and autumn came. 81 years passed by in a hurry. Wei Huo opened his eyes, and his golden pupils became calm again. Everything he had experienced in the Illusion Realm was resolved in these 81 years. Wei Huo’s realm had also entered the middle stage of the Legendary stage.

Wei Huo walked out of the straw house. The loose golden armor seemed to have left long ago. He turned around and realized that the Ruyi Pagoda was still there, but Xiao Qian was nowhere to be seen.

Wei Huo’s eyes remained calm as he walked down the mountain.

He did not feel very emotional that his old partner had ultimately left. He was used to it. He headed east and prepared to return to his hometown before heading to the Eastern Continent.

His mental realm had already reached the late stage of the Legendary stage. It was even close to the peak of the Legendary stage. However, he did not plan on sitting still. Instead, he planned to travel thousands of miles to explore the world, observe nature, and experience the most ordinary Dao of nature.

His heart was calm at the moment. He was in a meditative state at all times. He could already do as he pleased without losing his cultivation realm. He could cultivate at any time without having to sit still.

After cultivating on the Chaos Stone bed for 81 periods, he still had an extra stream of Chaos Qi in his body. The Chaos Qi could be divided into Yin and Yang Qi and could also be combined into one. It was very magical.

Wei Huo could already cross distances, but he slowed down. He walked step by step. As he walked, Wei Huo observed every blade of grass, every leaf, every inch of land, and every life and death.

He did not feel happy or sad when he saw death. He maintained a calm demeanor.

Wei Huo walked for a few months before he arrived at a valley. Sounds of fighting could be heard continuously ahead of him. Rocks collapsed, and curses could be heard.

Wei Huo’s golden eyes flickered. He crossed the space and saw the scene ahead.

An Epic-ranked vulture was currently chasing a Rare-ranked human. The human was about 25 years old. Although he was weak, he kept avoiding the vulture’s attacks.

However, he was ultimately facing an Epic-ranked creature. At most, he could dodge a few times, but he could not escape death in the end.

The man seemed to know that as well, so he cursed rudely. “You baldy! If you have the guts, don’t bully others with your high cultivation level. If I escape, I will slaughter your descendants!”

The Epic-ranked vulture was furious. “You damned ant, did you think this day would come when you killed my son three years ago? I will crush your bones and scatter your ashes today!”

As Wei Huo watched this scene, he could not help but think that things always developed in the world by following some rules. If one spoke harshly, one would be slapped in the face. If one bullied the weak, one would be killed. Some people called this ‘inevitable nature of history’, while others said that ‘history always repeated itself’.

Although the young man was no match for the vulture, he coincidentally fled in Wei Huo’s direction. The vulture could not kill the young man in time and seemed like it wanted to lure the battle over to Wei Huo.

The vulture said coldly, “The human race is just a subsidiary race of the panda, the canine, and the cat race. There is no Legendary creature in that race. It will not be a pity if you die. How dare you kill my son? You are really bold. No one can save you today!”

The young man fled in Wei Huo’s direction anxiously. The vulture followed him closely.

They suddenly flew past Wei Huo and headed west. It seemed like they had accidentally looked past Wei Huo.

Wei Huo broke out of his trance and calmed down. He returned to his original state, and his temperament became normal. However, he had been ignored by others once again.

This was bad news for the young man.

The young man rushed hundreds of meters away and suddenly felt that something was not right. He believed that there would be a chance of survival if he kept walking west. However, that feeling disappeared again. It seemed like he had to walk east to survive. Unfortunately, the vulture was in the east.

The young man said fiercely, “If I return alive, I will smash that old turtle’s shell. It clearly told me that survival is in the west.”

Wei Huo had seen the aura of death surrounding the vulture through the Eye of Illusion Destruction. It seemed like it could die at any moment. However, when it ignored Wei Huo’s pursuit of the young man, the aura of death dissipated a lot.

Wei Huo thought to himself that if this was a movie, the director would probably be furious. Why didn’t you follow the script?

The young man stopped in his tracks and forced himself to run east. He believed in his own instinct. He felt that he had missed the chance to survive once. He could not miss it again!

The vulture sneered. “Why aren’t you running anymore? Do you know that you can’t escape?”

The young man did not answer. Instead, he shouted in Wei Huo’s direction, “Senior, save me!”

The vulture sneered. “The three Epic-ranked humans guarding the city don’t dare come out. Where did you find this senior?”

However, as soon as he finished his sentence, a huge hand formed by the essence of heaven and earth grabbed him and pressed him against the ground.

Wei Huo did not attack because the young man had called him Senior and asked him to save him, but because he had recognized the young man.

The young man finally saw who had attacked. When he saw Wei Huo, he exclaimed, “It’s you, Zhou Huo!”

Wei Huo remained calm as he said, “What a coincidence, Li Song. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“Brother Huo, my name is Zhou Song. I’m Zhou, not Li.”

Wei Huo’s lips curled into a smile. He had not expected to meet his old friend in the Illusion Realm again. This guy’s essence, energy, and spirit had changed greatly. Even his appearance had changed by 40 to 50 percent. If Wei Huo had not remembered that branding mark, he would not have recognized him.

Wei Huo was now at the middle stage of the Legendary stage. He had already recalled everything that he had experienced. Of course, he had remembered Zhou Song. Not only had he been Wei Huo’s good friend in the Illusion Realm, but he had also been Wei Huo’s good friend before the time halt.

The reason was simple. Zhou Song was an ordinary person with a weak presence. Birds of a feather flocked together, so the two of them had become friends.

However, unlike Wei Huo, Zhou Song was very narcissistic. If others called him a handsome guy, he would probably think that they were mocking him. He was plain-looking, but he cared a lot about his appearance. However, he did dare to take risks. In Wei Huo’s Illusion Realm, he often made a name for himself.

At that moment, the vulture was confused. If one was able to subdue it in one move, it would mean that one was a half-step Legendary creature. However, how could Legendary creatures be born among humans? Humans had only appeared less than 100 years ago.

Zhou Song clicked his tongue in wonder as he watched Wei Huo subdue the vulture. “How did you become so strong while I didn’t see you for a while? I was right. Neither of us is an ordinary person. If we have the chance, we will definitely soar!”

Wei Huo did not respond. Zhou Song had always been a fearless person in the Illusion Realm. According to him, ‘The President is also a human and will die. What’s the difference between him and me? I never think highly of anyone or look down on anyone. The more others look down on me, the more I want to befriend them.’

However, he neglected the fact that he was a person that others looked down on.

The vulture could not hold back anymore. It said, “May I know which race you are from? If you spare my life, my race will definitely repay you!”

Before Wei Huo could speak, Zhou Song could not hold back anymore. “Vultures are really shameless. If they can’t beat someone, they just say that the opposing party’s realm is higher than theirs. When I beat up their sons, they scolded me for bullying them. How can you foolish birds be compared to humans?”

After saying that, Zhou Song asked, “How are you going to deal with this dumb bird?”

Wei Huo said casually, “Let’s kill it.”

The vulture was terrified when it heard that. It immediately begged for mercy. “Senior, you can’t bully the weak!”

Zhou Song said, “You are an Epic creature that has lived for hundreds of years as a wu…. That’s not right. I can’t use vulgarities now… Can you have some integrity?”

The vulture ignored him. Dignity was not important. Survival was its priority. Thus, it said, “Senior, I can be your mount.”

Zhou Song said, “Who would want a bald mount? Isn’t it too ugly?”

The vulture was furious. I’m an Epic-ranked creature, yet I’m not sufficient?

Wei Huo said, “Let’s roast it.”

After saying that, he released all the pets in the Divine Pet Space, including the purple cat, the rhinoceros, the Gold-Eater, and Wei Sha. In the end, Wei Huo released the other insect girl, who had been incubated for decades.
