GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS

Chapter 81 The Infinite Treasures Mountain

?Far away from the Sky Yun Region, or at a calculated distance of ten years by travel, Patrick appeared over a mountain peak with a gentle landing; he stood hands behind his back as he stared in the vast distance; there was a widespread landmass that seemed to spread endlessly. There were countless trees, mountains, and valleys spread wide on the endless landmass. Patrick stood as his silver hair fluttered in the wind; his eyes shone with the absolute infinity symbols as they radiated with absoluteness.

"Grace, bring up an augmented projection of the entire central continent."

"Affirmative."

Suddenly, Patrick's view changed as he stood in a 5D design of the central continent's map, his figure showing on the projected map as it stated his current location. The augmented projection stretched for over ten-meter circumference of Patrick; the nearby mountains, hills, plants, trees, animals, and other natural properties of the central continent were realistically outlined on the projection. But on a certain area of the projected map, over a thousand designated figures were outlined as their figures clustered at an unknown location; this drew Patrick's attention as he erased himself from the mountain peak.

[Passive Nature: Presence Shift; With an intent, can be anywhere without constraints]

At an unknown location ten years away from the Sky Yun Region by air or land travel, over ten thousand figures clustered in one setting as they faced a gigantic mountain-like object; this mountain-like object floated in the space with numerous ancient designs and characters etched on the exterior. Although the human figures stood facing the gigantic mountain-like object, no one dared come within a thousand meters radius of the object; that was because of the countless vibrating symbols on the mountain, which ruthlessly lacerated the nearby space itself, creating a void opening that no one at the current scene dares approach. Now and then, the numerous ancient symbols on the gigantic mountain-like object would swap locations with another ancient character as if a countdown to something.

There were different races with both genders present, but they all had powerful presences despite their races and genders. Some were humans with dragon-like features, some with long reptilia tails, some had giant-like bodies, some short and some tall; but the remaining fact was all these people radiated with extreme overbearing Qi, if anyone from the Sky Yun Region were here, they would have instantly died due to the gravitational pressure of this location alone, not to mention the overwhelming auras these figures exuded. The thousands of cultivators stood disorganized; some floated in the air with arrogant demeanors, some on the ground with closed eyes as if in meditations, and some in groups with the same attire as they occupied large areas of the location.

"How come the Infinite Treasures Mountain is here?"

Suddenly, a thundering male voice reverberated in the surroundings; this drew the people's attention as they looked in the sky above them. Above the present cultivators, over twenty spaceships as big as the titanic appeared in the space; among the arrived spaceships was one plated in with an unknown blue mineral that shone with brilliant blue lights; this particular spaceship was ten times larger than the other titanic-sized spaceships. These arrived ships weren't technological; they were just large normal-looking flying boats with luxurious designs; the spaceships had flags with a turtle design and a large name below it stating 'Gong' fluttering on them.

Suddenly, a man accompanied by a hundred shadowy figures stepped out of the largest spaceship; he hovered in the air with an aristocratic temperament as he gazed at the people below as if looking at peasants; this man was over six feet tall with long silver hair. He wore a luxurious white cultivation robe with a dragon design; he had a handsome face with radiant blue eyes, in his hand was a luxurious medium-sized white fan. He looked twenty-five. The man floated in the space with his one hundred shadow company; he radiated with Qi so oppressive that the below cultivators began assuming sweaty faces. But despite the oppressive aura of the arrived being, many present cultivators didn't even react to the man's berating words; instead, they ignored him and kept their attention on the gigantic floating mountain.

"Isn't that the Ancient Gong family?"

"Yes, I think they are here for the same reason as us, for the mountain."

"We should mind our business, the Ancient Gong family is from the countless myriad domain, yet they are here. Don't you find it suspicious?."

Some cultivators instantly recognized the arrived party, but from their interaction, it seems this arrived group is from a powerful background with an Ancient legacy. The below cultivators stared in the sky as they watched the ancient Gong family party hover with magisterial auras. Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded out.

"I'm not even surprised that the Ancient Gong family would know about the unexpected reappearance of the 'Infinite Treasures Mountain. Am only glad that you made it in time before it opened."

The old man's voice sounded, the next instant; an old man appeared in the space facing the Ancient Gong party; this old man was bald and had a beardless chin; he was wearing a green attire with multiple green swords floating behind him in a circling fashion, the old man had his hands behind him as he floated before the Gong party as the next moment, they began interacting.

In the void above the arrived Ancient Gong party, Patrick hovered in the ravaging chaotic void with hands behind him as he stared at the gigantic floating mountain below; he saw the countless golden ancient characters and swapping symbols on the exterior with the symbols changing every minute as if counting down to its opening. Patrick hadn't even spared a glance at the arrived Ancient Gong party; his attention was on the floating mountain this whole time.

"Grace, that old man said something about the 'Infinite Treasure Mountain."

"Yes, Master; the floating 1000 feet long, 1000 feet wide, and 500-inch thick object identify as the 'Infinite Treasures Mountain.' It's an object that appears in every cultivation multiverse once every fifty thousand years; it wasn't supposed to appear until five thousand more years."

"Let me guess, my appearance in the Immortal realm caused it to appear, therefore shifting its arrived date earlier, correct?"

"Affirmative."

"Based on its name, I presume its a mountain with endless amounts of treasures, and the fact that there are less than a million people here means it appeared not long ago; if such a treasure mountain appears in the central continent and there aren't many flies around it like this Gong family, then it only means not many had known about its arrival yet."

"Precisely, Master, but the name is merely an exaggeration. Although there are infinite treasures within this mountain's infinite dimension, 80% of them are nothing but low and mid-grade treasures, and the more high-graded artifacts are hidden within the deepest areas of the dimension. So even if many ancient powers are informed or sense the mountain, they will only send their descendants to try their lucks. There are also restrictions and qualifications before entering the mountain; one must be a Celestial Emperor and not beyond the Star Celestial Realm; that's because Saints and above can easily destroy the array traps and consume the treasures for themselves."

"Hmm, so if even a Saint is restricted from entering the mountain, doesn't that mean the owner or creator of the mountain is of the higher realm than Saints?"

"As expected of Master."

Patrick chatted with Grace as he understood the origins and properties of the Infinite Treasures Mountain. He remained in the void as he spectated the cultivators below, with Grace giving him an analysis of any being Patrick set eyes on, including the spaceships.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, a loud sound rumbled in the surroundings; the below cultivators assumed glimmering expressions as they watched the gigantic mountain begin vibrating; the mountain vibrated as the ancient characters on the exterior began swapping positions at a fast speed, the faster the characters swapped positions, the more intense the mountain vibrated, it was as if excited from seeing someone or something. The nearby standing cultivators felt the vibration of the space around them, with some immediately activating their cultivation techniques and Qi's to protect themselves from the almost shattering space around them. The old man previously floated next to the Ancient Gong family member in the air as he frowned; he then spoke.

"Hmm? There have been a series of unexpected events today."

"What does the Spiral Sword Celestial mean?" The man with the fan asked with a calm demeanor.

"According to records, the Infinite Treasures Mountain appears once every fifty thousand years, but this year marks the forty-fifth. And it usually appears within the deeper domains where the delegates of the overlords' host Treasure hunting competitions to determine whose lucky. But this time, not only did mountain reappear early, but it also appeared in the outskirts of the central continent; this is quite weird."

"Spiral Sword Celestial, I think the mountain is already open, and besides, whether it was by coincidence or organized, now that I am here, I shall take control of the situation. Of course, if the Spiral Sword Celestial can see that matters are handled appropriately under my command, then I believe we can have a profitable harvest." 'The Spiral Sword Celestial is a Star Celestial second stage; if I can bring him under my command, it will attract the favors of the elders, which will aid me in succeeding the position of the crown prince.'

Below, the cultivators watched as the intensely vibrating mountain instantly stopped; it was as if time had stopped around the enormous mountain. But then, the mountain slowly rested on the ground as it made a loud boom. The next moment, the ancient symbols and characters on the mountain's exterior were sucked into it as they began forming multiple shining door-shaped portals. With the width of the mountain being a thousand feet, multiple shining portals appeared as they occupied the whole width of the mountain.

"Hey, the infinite treasures mountain is opened, charge!"

Upon seeing the emerged portals on the mountain, a man shouted as he boosted the adrenaline of the other cultivators. The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, the ten thousand-plus martial cultivators launched at their fastest speeds as they darted into the portals, their silhouettes vanishing into the portals as they left the real world. Multiple groups with matching attires rushed together as their silhouettes vanished into the portals. After what felt like ten minutes, the previously clustered scene of cultivators was no more, but remaining in the air was the Ancient Gong family man and his escorts; beside him was the Spiral Sword Celestial, the old man watched the thousands of cultivators enter the mountain as he smirked, and then spoke.

"Ancient Descendant Gong doesn't need to worry; I shall make sure to manage the situation thoroughly." With that, the old man flashed as he vanished into a portal.

"Ancient Descendant, do you wish to kill them all?"

Suddenly, a heavy cold voice sounded behind the Gong descendant; the spoken figure was a burly man with extremely large muscles, the man was covered in a black hood, but his burly figure exposed his sex. The burly man cupped his hands as he knelt behind the Gong descendant; the remaining ninety-nine escorts floated slightly below the Gong descendant, their bodies exuding overbearing auras; even slight cracks formed the space around the group.

"No need, they shall be my treasure seekers, then I will kill them myself- hmm?"

The Gong descendant couldn't finish his sentence when a certain figure suddenly entered his sight; frowning, he slowly closed his spread fan and focused on the person below. This person was the only one remaining when almost everyone had hurriedly rushed for treasures. 'Who is that? I couldn't even sense his presence, and why is he not rushing into the mountain?' The Gong descendant thought as his frown intensified; he then spoke.

"Bring me that man below."

"Yes."

The Gong descendant ordered his underling to bring the person casually walking towards the portals; he was surprised why this man isn't rushing like the others, who wouldn't rush to seek infinite treasures, even if they are mostly lower and middle grades, one can still sell them for currencies and other items. But this man steadily walked without the slightest concern that the others might get all the low and middle graded treasures, leaving him with nothing as no one dared enter the deeper parts of the Infinite treasures mountain, where the traps can even kill Saints. And the fact that he couldn't sense the Qi presence of the person made him more suspicious.

The ordered subordinate followed his master's instructions as he flashed before the man; he stood with a cold and domineering attitude as his voice sounded.

"If you don't mind, my master wishes to see you."

Patrick had appeared on the ground as he casually walked to the portal with hands in his pockets, but then a burly man covered in a black hood appeared before him, asking him to see his master. But while the burly man stood in Patrick's way, Patrick continued walking as he directly walked through the burly man's body; he then vanished into a portal, leaving a sentence that reverberated in the surroundings.

"Block my path again, and your entire Ancient family will compensate for it."
