Chapter 1269: Topsy-Turvy Mountains

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked in Ice Storm’s direction.

He found that Thousand Blades Peak was completely different from the surrounding undulating mountains, including the island-like isolated peaks that were suspended in the air.

They did not look like natural folds of the earth but had relatively gentle curves instead.

They resembled stone pillars that had suddenly risen up and become clustered together with intersecting canine teeth.

Since the stone pillars were almost vertical to the ground, it was very difficult for plants to grow on them. The bare mountain ridges looked extremely sharp. Just like gleaming blades, spears, swords, and halberds that were shooting toward the sky, they were unleashing an unconcealed killing intent.

Of course, what troubled Meng Chao was not just how steep Thousand Blades Peak was.

With his current skills, even if every rock wall on Thousand Blades Peak was as smooth as a mirror, as long as there was a gap as thick as a hair, he would be able to climb up as if he was walking on flat ground.

The problem was that Thousand Blades Peak was also a floating mountain.

It was floating at least hundreds of meters above the ground.

Moreover, there was a fierce wind blowing between Thousand Blades Peak and the ground. Clouds and mist were lingering, and invisible turbulence crashed violently into the bottom of the mountain range. One could vaguely hear the roars of tigers and dragons.

One could imagine just how complicated the spirit magnetic environment in the air was, and just how terrifying the violent winds that contained spirit energy were.

It was not that there were no birds and beasts in the Turan Holy Mountain.

In fact, because of the lack of people in the past three thousand years, and because the spirit energy there was far denser than in the outside world, the totem beasts there grew. Although their sizes might not be as exaggerated as the colossals in the outside world, their numbers and ferocity were definitely not inferior.

Meng Chao and Ice Storm had encountered several groups of ferocious predators along the way.

If not for the fact that both of them were proficient in hiding, it would not have been so easy for them to arrive here without any danger.

The spirit energy around Thousand Blades Peak was obviously extremely dense.

In the sky within a radius of dozens of miles, there was no sign of flying-type totem beasts.

Not to mention falcons, not even a sparrow was seen.

This was enough to prove that the sky here was filled with invisible traps.

If Meng Chao were to recklessly activate his magnetic levitation and anti-gravity abilities and try to fly up Thousand Blades Peak, he would be sucked into the turbulence of space at any moment. At worst, he would lose his limbs, at worst, he would be torn into pieces, he might even be torn alive into a bloody mist.

Meng Chao was about to ask how Ice Storm would go up.

However, after observing the surroundings, Ice Storm gently plucked a strand of translucent hair from her head.

She clasped her hands together and muttered something. She rubbed her palms together, and when she opened them again, the hair had already been rubbed into a cluster of shiny, broken hair particles that had been injected with spirit energy.

Ice Storm confirmed that there was no wind in the surroundings.

Meng Chao held his breath again.

Only then did he carefully scatter the scattered hair on the ground.

He also carefully observed the direction in which the scattered hair had gone with the wind, as well as the distribution of the hair after it landed.

Meng Chao knew that she was trying to determine the direction.

It was common for the sky to darken, the sun and the moon to lose their light, and even the dense fog that covered the sky and the Earth to cover everything in the Other World.

Without a compass, it would be difficult to accurately identify the north, south, east, and west just by observing the weather.

Even with a compass, interference would often occur and delay major events.

Therefore, superhuman individuals who had experience in surviving in the wild preferred to use the interaction between their vitality magnetic field and the planet’s magnetic field to determine direction.

Hair was produced from their own blood essence and was almost weightless and hollow after being crushed. It was easy to inject spirit energy into it, making it the best carrier for such a method of identification.

The dozens of years that Ice Storm had been hunted by the night watchmen in the Land of Holy Light had not been in vain.

She quickly identified the north through the distribution of the broken hair. She also accurately measured the relative relationship between the several floating mountains on the horizon in the north.

“Do you see the floating mountain with two peaks in front of you? That’s Twin Deer Peak.

“The one behind us is almost invisible. It looks like a giant square rock that flew into the sky for no reason. That’s Warhammer Peak.

“Twin Deer Peak and Warhammer Peak are almost completely covered by them. The one with only a sharp corner exposed is Spear Mountain.

“Judging from the position of these floating mountains, the space here is going to change again soon. We must hurry to the green rock that was torn apart by the roots of the mandrake tree before the fog rises!”

Meng Chao carried the Ancient Dream Saintess on his back and climbed up the green rock that had been split into two thousands of years ago but was still tightly entangled by the roots of the mandrake tree under Ice Storm’s guidance.

When he looked back, he found that Ice Storm’s foothold had been swallowed by the fog.

The fog in all directions was surging like the sea at high tide.

Even the undulating mountain ranges in the sky seemed to have been enveloped and swallowed by the fog, disappearing without a trace.

Only the giant green rock they were on was the only safe isolated island.

Hearing the roaring sound of the waves coming from the fog, Meng Chao knew very well that if it were not for Ice Storm leading the way, he would have foolishly explored the place and failed to find a stable foothold when the fog surged. If he fell into the depths of the dense fog…

Even if he did not die, he would have long been randomly teleported to a certain place in the depths of the Holy Mountain.

Perhaps he would be stuck in a crevice that was hundreds of meters deep, or he would fall straight down from the sky, or he would crash into the dangerous ancient battlefield ruins, or even overlap with the space of the evil energy puppets and totem armor remains. His flesh and blood would merge with the remains of the war machine, turning him into a monster that was beyond recognition.

This was the bloody lesson that the people of Earth had learned when they explored the foggy area around Dragon City after they had just transmigrated there.

Fortunately, the space change this time lasted for a very short time.

Meng Chao had just started to let his imagination run wild when the fog around him quickly dissipated.

The scenery around him changed like the stars were shifting.

The wilderness turned into a jungle, the jungle turned into an abyss, the abyss turned into a lake, and the lake turned into a swamp.

What was even more unbelievable to Meng Chao was that Thousand Blades Peak, which was unattainable just a moment ago, had already descended from hundreds of meters above the ground to dozens of meters above the ground.

Moreover, the entire floating mountain range had been turned upside down by 180 degrees—head down, feet upside down!

The swords, spears, and halberds that were pointing straight at the sky just now were now pointing straight at the ground, or rather, Meng Chao’s head.

The sharp peaks that pierced the sky had turned into stalagmites that were hanging down from the sky.

The distance was so close that Meng Chao could not help but reach out to grab them.

“We have to hurry.”

Ice Storm told Meng Chao, “The space stabilization period won’t last for long this time. This is the best time to climb Thousand Blades Peak in the next three days and three nights. If we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we’ll have to think of a way to fly up on our own!”

Meng Chao nodded.

The height was less than 100 meters, and there were no strong winds, turbulence, and space barriers. Naturally, it was not difficult for him.

After looking around, he took out the heavy saber, skull crusher, from his body and cut down a mandala tree that was neither thick nor thin in the not-so-dense forest nearby.

Then, he cut off all the branches and turned them into a bare piece of wood.

After consulting Ice Storm and realizing that the snow leopard warrior had a way to climb Thousand Blades Peak with her own strength, Meng Chao took a few steps back and took a deep breath. Then, he used the Skull Crushers’ chains to wrap around some wood that was not much thicker than his thighs.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Meng Chao gripped the chains tightly with both hands and spun the wood in circles.

When he reached the maximum speed, he suddenly released the chains and allowed the wood to fly toward the inverted Thousand Blades Peak like a javelin.

Then, Meng Chao growled and ran up in small steps. Every step he took left a fist-sized dent in the ground, and the area around the dent was covered in cracks resembling spider webs.

Just like that, after sprinting for more than ten steps, he suddenly jumped up. He jumped twenty to thirty meters into the air and also jumped directly above the wood.

“Bang!”

With a loud explosion, the wood that was as hard as iron and was soaked in spirit energy deep inside the Holy Mountain was crushed by Meng Chao in the air. There were almost no shards bigger than a fingernail among the splinters.

Meng Chao, on the other hand, made use of the force of the stomp to increase his speed and momentum to the maximum. Then, like a strange bird with invisible wings, he flew up seventy to eighty meters into the air with ease.

At this distance, the “stalagmite” hanging upside down from the top of his head was literally within reach.

Only then did Meng Chao unhurriedly throw out the chain, wrapping it around a stalagmite that was uneven on the surface, making it easy for him to exert force. He swung his entire body over, and with the strength of a pinky finger inserted into the crack in the rock, he firmly fixed himself on the stalagmite.

Almost at the same time that he found the anchor point.

Ice Storm also quietly fell to his side like a light snowflake.

The method used by the snow leopard warrior was similar to his.

She did not rely on the force of the stomp from crushing the tree trunk but used the branches of the mandrake tree to be extremely flexible.

Bending a branch to the extreme, and then using ice to fix herself to the ground, she formed a simple slingshot.

Then, she crushed the ice and swung the branch high into the air, throwing her into the air.

In addition, she was born with lightness and agility, which was given to her by her leopard bloodline.

Her movements in the air were more elegant than Meng Chao’s, and her ability to walk on flat ground between the upside-down stalagmites was almost the same as Meng Chao’s.

Meng Chao checked on the Ancient Dream Saintess, who was tightly tied to his back.

He found that although her forehead temperature was still abnormal, her breathing and heartbeat were very stable, and there was no brain wave disorder.

After confirming that the climb did not have any worse effect on the spiritual leader of the rat people, he put his heart back into his stomach and, together with Ice Storm, tried his best to climb toward the center of Thousand Blades Peak, the most prominent giant stalagmite climbed over..
