Chapter 748: Treacherous Traversing in the Ground!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Activating both the Yin Yang Escape art and the Power of Earth at the same time, Jun Mo Xie reached the deepest of the ground within the blink of an eye! And this location happened to be right under the center of the Blizzard Silver City Hall!
The mysterious energy that Jun Mo Xie had encountered last time came from here!
Jun Mo Xie felt the Hongjun Pagoda turning at high speed with a hong in his head the moment he had gone into the ground, and with unusual enthusiasm! The heavy sensation he experienced last time had also begun to thicken again!
This entire area underground seemed like a huge swamp, and he was right in it! And he could only move forward with great struggle!
You’re excited, but you can’t just be excited alone! We are underground; do you know how much spiritual energy is required to use both the Yin Yang Escape art and the Power of Earth at the same time? Plus, every step we take, we need to break past this unimaginably heavy obstructing force. If you’re not going to help, how could I survive making past this? Are you planning to kill me?
Jun Mo Xie complained in his head. But these were not empty words; if he didn’t have a cheat code like the Hongjun Pagoda, based off of Jun Mo Xie’s own capabilities only, it would definitely be hard for him to maintain this for a long period of time. And once he ran out of spiritual energy, regardless of how miraculous they both were, both the Yin Yang Escape art and the Power of Earth would lose their effectiveness without spiritual energy as the driving force. Then someone would turn into a tragedy straight away...
But Hongjun Pagoda still made no movements, only rapidly spinning and anticipating excitedly, showing no signs or intentions to open the doors to release Spiritual Qi...
Looks like this fellow hasn’t finished digesting after overeating.
Jun Mo Xie sighed in resentment. I’m so ill-fated!! Looks like I have rely on myself to achieve this! I’ll save some of my resources and pray that it is enough to last me till there!
Let’s not even talk about how I’m slogging my life to sustain through this, and the most depressing thing is... All this is done for the sake of the Hongjun Pagoda; how much benefit I will gain from this is hard to tell... This caused Jun Mo Xie to feel a little unfair...
With a mentality of not wasting his energy, he tested out a step in all four directions. Jun Mo Xie then made a decision: to drill his way northwest!
Because it was the direction which was most difficult to break through amongst all four directions! And its density was even more obvious!
If there was really something good here, it must be there!
Nothing else to say! I’m risking it!
Succeed or die!
Jun Mo Xie took a deep breath and began to spin rapidly in the soil, turning faster and faster, eventually forming a tornado. At the highest speed of the spinning, he positioned himself horizontally. With a strong kick with his legs against the soil behind him, he shot forward like an arrow!
The top of Jun Mo Xie’s head was like a drill rotating at high speed, drilling his way right through!
This was the most energy conserving method that Jun Mo Xie could think of for the beginning stage!
This one drill had covered a dozen of meters! Jun Mo Xie felt his scalp heating up from the constant friction of spinning at a high speed, and a fiery burning sensation developed on his scalp.
He couldn’t help but cursed in his heart: F*ck, my head full of hair can’t possibly be ruined like this right? I’ll really get an heartache.... Although it’s a bit longer and gets in the way sometimes, but if I became bald.... That’d be too unflattering....
The spinning began to weaken and finally came to a stop. Jun Mo Xie stood upright again, and the first thing he did was touch the top of his head and he let out a sigh of relief. There was still hair, but the sudden wave of hot friction earlier caused it to become a little curly. This is a new discovery, I wonder if I could use this method to invent perming skills...
At the same time, Jun Mo Xie calculated the distance and couldn’t help but bite his tongue. Had it been in the air, he could’ve covered a distance of a few hundred meters with what he did earlier! But in this ground, he had only drilled his way through a short distance of a dozen zhang !
And the location that he was in currently was even denser and thicker, with even larger an obstructing force! Almost like a giant silkworm cocoon, binding himself within! There was extreme difficulty in moving even his fingers!
Jun Mo Xie tried to regulate his Xuan efficacy to absorb the lingering energy in this space, only to release that he couldn’t absorb it at all. It looked like this obstructing force was not a condensation of odd Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi, but a mysterious type of energy that he was not aware of!
There’s no other choice; let’s continue to drill!
Jun Mo Xie was also getting aggressive. I don’t believe that I can’t drill my way through! I’m going all out!
He activated the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune to level up his skills. Jun Mo Xie closed his mouth and gritted his teeth as he inched his way across, one step at a time...
A long while passed...
Jun Mo Xie couldn’t be bothered to maintain his image, so he sat on his butt and panted heavily. Hot beads of perspiration drenched his head and evaporated into white steam that was instantly absorbed into the earth!
This is too darn difficult.....
Jun Mo Xie was a feeling little helpless. At the beginning, he could still advanced with big steps, and although there was great obstruction, it wasn’t significant enough to prevent him from moving ahead. But over here, his movements were greatly reduced—he could only inch forward!
And there was a strong repelling force in here! If he did not quickly use Thousand Catty Drop to stabilize himself for every one inch he moved forward, he would have been repelled a few meters back by that force!
If not for Jun Mo Xie’s quick reactions, he might very well have been repelled back countless of times already...
Then he could already stop planning anything else for today!
He was really getting a little exhausted now.
Even with his powerful skills as a level two Venerable, plus the effects of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, the pushing force of Yin Yang Escape, and the Power of Earth, after such a long time, he had only advanced less than fiftyzhang ! Plus that initial twelve zhang he had covered earlier; it was a distance of only around sixty zhang !
In common terms, 180 meters!
Jun Mo Xie could vaguely sense that he was not far from the core of this weird energy. A safe guess would be that it was a few zhang away. But those few zhangfelt as far away as having to cross a thousand mountains and ten thousands rivers.
So near yet so far!
The density, restraints, repulsion, and even a mysterious spinning force increased as he approached! Spinning clockwise, anti-clockwise—it was a type of spinning force that caused one to loss his sense of balance involuntarily!
Jun Mo Xie was sure that if it weren’t for him being equipped with the remarkable abilities of the Yin Yang Escape and the Power of Earth, if he were an ordinary person, or even an experts of the Saint King level, he couldn’t even move a single step forward!
This type of energy was truly too odd!
But Jun Mo Xie had also thought of another point at the same time: Since this place has such an odd and great energy protecting it, then what sort of heaven defying object could be inside?
It did make sense. If it was not something extremely powerful and precious, why would the Hongjun Pagoda be so urgent? With Hongjun Pagoda’s picky eating habits, how could it be an ordinary object?
After taking a break, Jun Mo Xie finally continued his next endeavour! Temporarily losing the aid of the Hongjun Pagoda, Jun Mo Xie could only use the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune like his life depended on it. He could feel and hear the whooshing sounds of the spiritual energy circulating in his veins.
A feeling like this was invigorating!
But Jun Mo Xie’s disappearance left Condor King and Xue Shuang Qing above on the surface extremely worried.
Xue Shuang Qing was puzzled. Why did my future good son-in-law just disappear like that? What should I do? I still have questions I haven’t finished asking!
The Condor King was even more anxious. Brother-in-law disappeared! Where did he go? I’m going to faint; I thought I could benefit by following brother-in-law alone and could eat something good... Who knew that I barely followed him for barely half a day when he just suddenly disappeared...
What should I do?
Jun Mo Xie had already disappeared for three whole days!
Only Han Zhan Meng had an extra consideration; it couldn’t be that this unpredictable fellow had found his way to the biggest secret of the Blizzard Silver City, right? Although he knew it wasn’t possible, he still snuck back to take a look. But only his father, Han Feng Xue, was alone inside, with no other abnormalities. Facing his father’s surprised look, Han Zhan Meng felt relieved, and he genuinely began to wonder where Jun Mo Xie ran off to. I don’t think there is anything else in Blizzard Silver City that would catch his fancy?
But no one thought that Jun Mo Xie stubbornly battled that mysterious energy underground for three days!
Three whole days!
As the last day passed by, Jun Mo Xie felt like a catfish that had been tossed on land, thoroughly exhausted. But he could confirm that he was definitely less than half a meter distance away from that godd*mn energy!
Right now, that weird, repulsive force was extremely strong! Jun Mo Xie didn’t even dare to lift his foot up to move forward, he could only worm his way forward with his entire body, advancing inwards a millimeter by a millimeter.
Young Master Jun had suffered greatly from Hongjun Pagoda’s lack of aid. Although he was still in the state of the Yin Yang Escape, he could clearly feel that there were countless places on his body that hurt from all the grinding.
He used the divine sword to slowly cut through that mysterious energy, then slowly squeezed himself into that small opening he had created...
Heaven! Earth! My God!
Jun Mo Xie really felt like crying!
A torturous experience like this; I don’t want to go through it a second time ever again!!
Finally...
At the last moment, Jun Mo Xie felt as if he had just pierced through an odd balloon made of a weird material. Although it was difficult to pierce through, but once it was broken, the entire balloon started to disintegrate, and an unimpeded feeling passed through the sword and into his chest, but before he could celebrate it, he was tossed out by an immense, terrifying force that he couldn’t oppose at all!
