C589 The Mountains Rained down from the Sky 6th Chapter in a Row Bunches of Chapters in a Row

"Why can we only reach the Martial King Stage? What's going on?"

Woo Zhengyang realized he knew less and less about this world.

"Man, what a streak of bad luck!"

With a deep sigh, Lee Yuanye continued, "A lot of people know I reached the Martial King Stage at a young age and then started living it up, not pushing myself any further. But they have no idea how ambitious I was when I first arrived in this world. I dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, seeking justice, with a beautiful woman by my side, wielding my sword to control the elements..."

"Focus on the main issue!" Zhengyang had to interrupt his daydreaming.

"This is the main issue... They only see my glory, but they don't know the hardships I endured for my goals. Just when I was thrilled to reach the Martial King Stage, my father's words hit me like a bolt from the blue, leaving me stunned! It was then that I learned the secrets of this world and the seal of the Heaven Shrouding Great Array."

"Is this related to the Heaven Shrouding Great Array?"

"Yes, after the catastrophe, the survivors found that their cultivation levels weren't very high, the highest being the Martial King Stage, but they didn't think much of it. However, later they discovered a serious problem: they couldn't break through. Once they surpassed the Martial King Stage and encountered the cleansing rain, an irresistible force would invade their bodies, corroding their meridians, vitality, and even their souls!"

"Once this corrosion begins, there's no turning back until the practitioner turns to dust!"

"This..." Woo Zhengyang was truly shocked. When he first heard about the constant drizzle outside, known as the Cleansing Rain, he merely found it intriguing. He never imagined the rain could be so terrifying.

"So, according to you, once someone reaches the Martial King Stage, they can't be exposed to the Cleansing Rain. But I've heard that the master of your Heavenly Mirror Pavilion is a Martial Emperor. How did he avoid this disaster?"

"That's what blew my mind! After discovering the terror of the Cleansing Rain, people gradually found three spiritual treasures from the ancestral land of the Profound Mountain. These treasures can resist the rain's invasion, meaning only three people in this world can surpass the Martial King Stage. It's been this way for thousands of years."

"And the treasure from our Heavenly Mirror Pavilion is with my father. As long as he's alive, I can't break through. Even if he passes, my elder brother is ahead of me, so I still can't break through. Do you think I should be in a hurry to leave this place?"

"Are you saying there are only three treasures?"

Woo Zhengyang suddenly thought of Yun'er. She was at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, yet she was unaffected. Could it be because she's always been in the Hundred Flower World?

"Yes, for at least the past thousand years, that's all anyone knows—just these three treasures."

"Well, tell me about your way to leave this place!"

Woo Zhengyang was eager to know how Lee Yuanye planned to escape from here.

"Mr. Zhengyang, you haven't reached the edge of this world, so you haven't seen the Heaven Shrouding Great Array. It's an octagonal formation that encloses this realm. For thousands of years, people have tried countless ways to approach its barrier, but no one has even come close, let alone escaped. Eventually, some placed their hopes elsewhere—on the Human Ancestral Land, the Profound Mountain!"

"The Profound Mountain? Isn't that supposed to be the center of this world?"

"Yes, the Profound Mountain is indeed the center of this world. However, as the Human Ancestral Land, it's far more mysterious than it seems. Otherwise, after the great calamity, the mastermind behind all this wouldn't have gone to such lengths to seal this world."

"Thanks to the protection of the Profound Mountain, the people of this world survived the great calamity. Only the three spiritual treasures from the Profound Mountain can withstand the Purifying Rain. After countless attempts, many believe the Profound Mountain might be the key to everything!"

"Has anyone ever made it out from there?"

"It's not that simple. The Profound Mountain is a mystical place, not accessible to ordinary people. Moreover, now there are the Myriad Desolate Mountains surrounding it, making it even more challenging. By the way, these Myriad Desolate Mountains are also a crucial part of the puzzle."

"What's the story?"

Woo Zhengyang was deeply intrigued by the Myriad Desolate Mountain. It was the place he first arrived at, where he had once felt the fluctuation of energy within himself.

"This mountain range wasn't always here. It suddenly appeared after a great catastrophe. According to ancient records, during the catastrophe, mountains fell from the sky like rain, forming what we now call the Myriad Desolate Mountain. It buried our ancestral land, the Profound Mountain, at its center."

"Mountains falling like rain from the sky!"

Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but imagine the sky darkening as massive mountains descended, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

"Impressive, right? But the real mystery lies ahead. After the formation of the Myriad Desolate Mountain, it became extremely peculiar. The demonic beasts within are exceptionally powerful, growing stronger the deeper you go. Even experts at the Martial King level find it nearly impossible to traverse the mountain and reach the Human Ancestral Land."

After a brief pause, Lee Yuanye continued, "All of this might be the work of one person or a group, intending to prevent people from approaching the ancestral land. The more they try to keep people away, the more suspicious it becomes."

"Unfortunately, no one has ever returned alive from the Myriad Desolate Mountain, and it's uncertain if anyone has ever truly left this world."

"People see the ancestral land as their last hope, yet fewer and fewer are willing to try. Some even doubt there's any way out, believing the situation to be unsolvable."

“I know the key to leaving this place lies in our ancestral land—Profound Mountain.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Don’t worry about that. I just know, like I know you're extraordinary. So, even though I've been indulging in life's pleasures these past two years, I never gave up on my plan to leave. Recently, I came up with a method, but I needed the right opportunity. Now, that opportunity is almost here.” As Lee Yuanye spoke, he trembled slightly, revealing his excitement.

“If that's the case, why tell me? Outside, I couldn't do anything to you. If you want to leave, you don’t need to worry about me coming after your Heavenly Mirror Pavilion.” Woo Zhengyang was still puzzled about why Lee Yuanye sought him out.

“Because... I have a feeling that to leave this world safely, we need to work together! Don’t ask why I feel this way; it’s my secret!”
