The Great Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles. Stepping inside, one feels as if plunged into a vast, boundless ocean. The undulating mountains seem like a slumbering giant dragon lying across the earth, its massive body partly hidden in the swirling mist, exuding an aura of infinite majesty and mystery.

Xu Ran sits on the back of the Peregrine Falcon, entering the Great Mountain once again.

Under the vast sky of the Great Mountain, even with Xu Ran, the Peregrine Falcon still slices through the sky like a white lightning bolt against the sapphire-like blue sky. It spreads its wings, its streamlined form like a masterpiece crafted by a divine artisan, akin to an unmatched arrow, without any excess weight, like a challenger soaring over towering mountaintops at an astonishing speed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh---"

The fierce wind moving rapidly at high altitudes seems to have accepted the challenge from the Peregrine Falcon.

The wind reverses and clashes around the Peregrine Falcon, rushing past like galloping horses, appearing intent on defeating the proud challenger and forcing it to submit beneath the great sky of the mountain.

With mastery in Wind Control Skill, Divine Eagle Skill, and Kunpeng Essence Blood, the Peregrine Falcon remains unperturbed even in the face of the immensely powerful wind; all of it is futile.

Its eyes, twinkling like cold stars, are tightly locked onto the canyon below, obscured and revealed intermittently by swirling mist.

The Peregrine Falcon appears to have found its target, diving downward at a lightning-like speed.

In an instant, the speed of the Peregrine Falcon seems to surpass the barriers of time and space, directly traversing the layers of towering peaks like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the predetermined destination.

The scenery around, as if time has been accelerated, quickly rushes backward. The towering peaks soon fall behind; in just one breath, the white figure under the sky has already entered the dense forest of the Great Mountain.

As it approaches the ground, it resembles a beast awakening from slumber, suddenly spreading its broad and powerful wings. In the sunlight, the feathers beneath its wings shimmer with a dazzling pale gold and radiant glow. Upon close examination, it seems each feather bears a naturally engraved rune. These runes link together, mysterious and profound.

The Peregrine Falcon’s wings, over a meter in length, once open, resemble a lawnmower, causing branches and leaves to scatter wherever it goes. Countless leaves sway with the descending air current, not a single giant tree can avoid it.

Xu Ran sits on the Peregrine Falcon’s back, from beneath the sky to the canyon of the Great Mountain, the wind akin to raging waves, without a moment’s pause, continuously roaring by, assaulting his eardrums. Until now, he remains calm and composed.

The fierce wind, capable of tearing any Demon Beast to shreds, leaves no trace on Xu Ran’s body, not a scar.

"Hey!"

Like a little bean, Xu Ran jumps off the Peregrine Falcon’s back. That youthful figure, upon touching the ground, surprisingly leaves a shallow footprint, his porcelain doll-like body constantly proving Xu Ran’s extraordinary state.

"This place, still hasn’t changed at all!"

This canyon is where Xu Ran and the Peregrine Falcon once trained Wind Control Skill. Returning here again brings a feeling of being worlds apart.

Back then, they couldn’t withstand the canyon’s howling winds and continuously needed to use Innate Qi to heal their bodies just to barely manage.

But now, everything is different.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xu Ran notices something amiss in the cave swept by fierce winds. His eyes filled with doubt as he gazes in that direction, stepping forward slowly.

"Where have the canyon winds gone?"

Xu Ran arrives at the entrance of the canyon, surprised to find changes here. The winds once used for training have vanished.

The Peregrine Falcon also stands by Xu Ran, at the canyon’s entrance, but the familiar sound of raging winds is absent. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

What’s going on? Where did they go?

Even it is puzzled, with many questions swirling in its mind, unsure of what has happened. Yet, defying disbelief, it still extends its wing inside.

No feeling of raging winds.

Gone for real.

Although, with their cultivation levels, they no longer need to practice in the canyon, here was the most suitable place they first found for cultivation. Besides, they still haven’t figured out why the canyon was so peculiar, and now it vanished without a trace, leaving them even more confused.

"It doesn’t matter!" Xu Ran pats the Peregrine Falcon’s body, saying, "Now, we don’t need to cultivate in the canyon. If it’s gone, it’s gone."

Despite saying this, they both carry feelings of curiosity, but with no clues available now, they can only suppress their inner curiosity.

The Peregrine Falcon understands this, nodding.

"Since that’s the case, let’s venture deeper into the Great Mountain and find some Demon Beasts to spar with!"

Mentioning sparring makes the Peregrine Falcon instantly awake.

As a bird of prey, it is inherently combative, and after acquiring the Kunpeng Bloodline, its innate combative genes are further strengthened, eager for battles every day. But recent events have been overwhelming, facing two formidable opponents consecutively, suffering numerous injuries.

As for sparring with its owner, Xu Ran, that’s just asking for abuse!
