Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 672 - 360: 9 Days of Rest Soil_2

Zhou Hong's guards might include some Divine Weapon Pavilion Martial Cultivators, but everyone else wasn't so sure.

If we really talk about how dangerous it is, it's actually not that bad. After all, this is the imperial city; they certainly can't let these mystical creatures run wild. When it comes down to it, someone will surely step in to stop them.

Zhou Hong looked at everyone and said, "Now inside the Celestial Scenery Mountain, only the manor remains a safe place. Whoever wants to participate in the discussion can leave the manor now."

"Periodically, the restraints on the mystical creatures inside Celestial Scenery Mountain will be lifted, and the level of danger in Celestial Scenery Mountain will continuously increase until the ban on Demon Core realm mystical creatures is lifted."

"Until then, all participants must remain inside Celestial Scenery Mountain. If they feel they cannot withstand the danger, they can return to the manor, but it also means they voluntarily forfeit, until the last participant is determined." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"The last participant to exit Celestial Scenery Mountain will be the winner of this discussion and will receive the rewards I've prepared."

The rules are simple; you understand them after hearing them once.

Those who wanted to participate in the discussion got up and started walking outside. Lu Yu glanced around and noticed Quide Fa surrounded by several people, and it seemed he wasn't planning to participate.

Those surrounding Quide Fa struggled for a while and chose to give up participating. They felt they couldn't compare to others, so they simply forfeited.

If there's no hope of winning the competition, it's better to spend some time befriending a young artifact refining master.

Seeing this, Lu Yu got up and headed outside, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Several figures in the crowd also stepped out planning to join the discussion.

Zhou Hong glanced at those sitting in the hall, who weren't planning to participate, and said, "Then, let the discussion begin."

A projection of Celestial Scenery Mountain appeared in mid-air at the center of the hall. All those who left the manor appeared in the projection, both the mountain and the people shrunk to the same scale and appeared inside the hall.

Lu Yu walked in the forest, looking up at the sky. He felt like something was watching him from above.

Years of reading novels told him that usually, in these circumstances, it's the host watching the contestants.

In other words, their every move was within Zhou Hong's observation.

Roar~ As Lu Yu was pondering, the restraint around a Lion Camel lifted, and it roared excitedly, rushing towards Lu Yu, who was closest to it.

Back in Celestial Scenery Manor, nearly everyone was focusing on Lu Yu.

Everyone wanted to know the true strength of the Divine Weapon Pavilion's Saint Heir.

Lu Yu also understood that his every move was under the observation of others. He needed to quickly and decisively deal with opponents or refrain from making a move.

Regardless, he couldn't appear weak in front of others.

Even if defeated, it must be a defeat that earns respect.

Lu Yu neither dodged nor avoided and proceeded towards the rushing Lion Camel.

The Lion Camel, resembling a long-maned lion, had strength approximately at the first level of the Demon Core realm, considered among the stronger mystical creatures of the same level.

Precisely because of its ferocity and certain spectacle qualities, it was placed within Celestial Scenery Mountain.

Roar~ The Lion's roar could captivate the soul, rendering targets rigid.

The powerful sound waves vibrated the surrounding leaves, causing them to tremble and fall all around.

The sound waves hit Lu Yu, and the heavenly aura surrounding his body instantly exploded.

A thin layer of spiritual light rippled across his skin, and the sound waves seemed like a breeze on his face; his hair didn't budge.

With Pure Glazed Body cultivated in the Jade Skin realm, Lu Yu could resist most abnormal attacks. The Lion Camel's roar had little effect on him.

Lu Yu stepped forward and delivered a palm strike, which felt like he was patting a kitten's head, landing on the Lion Camel's forehead.

Instantly, the Lion Camel's eyes bulged, nearly popping out of the sockets.

Bang~ The Lion Camel fell to the ground, seeing stars above its head, having its brain muddled.

After a while, it finally came to, just opened its eyes and immediately shut them, praying silently.

"Human, please leave quickly... Hope he didn't see me open my eyes... Ancestors, protect me..."

Lu Yu lightly kicked the Lion Camel playing dead on the ground and said, "Stop pretending. I controlled my strength earlier; you won't die yet. Get up; I need to ask you a few questions."

Still pretending to be dead, the Lion Camel felt more pressure.

"Roar... croak croak..." The Lion Camel winced in pain, instinctively let out a cry, and then quickly stopped himself.

It realized it couldn't continue pretending; otherwise, it might really end up dead.

The Lion Camel cautiously got up, crouched partially on the ground, lowered its head, indicating submission.

Finally, it came to terms with reality. Though it didn't know what was outside, inside Celestial Scenery Mountain, many more powerful mystical creatures had their freedom restrained. As a creature of the first level in the Demon Core realm, there was nothing to boast about.

Better behave as humanity's little minion!

"Roar roar roar~" The Lion Camel growled softly, indicating it surrendered. Please don't hit it.

Lu Yu glanced at it and said, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Instantly, the Lion Camel felt a chill in its heart and quickly replied, "Anything this little creature knows, I'll definitely tell you, Lord, without any concealment."

"What's the most dangerous mystical creature here? Where is it?" Lu Yu asked as he stared into the distance.

The Lion Camel pondered for a moment, hesitantly saying, "From what this little creature knows, the most powerful mystical creature here is the Jiao Dragon in the eastern pond. It's a big mystical creature at the Divine Weapon Pavilion's realm, captured by humans half a year ago."

Lu Yu looked at it and asked, "How many Divine Weapon Pavilion realm mystical creatures are there in Celestial Scenery Mountain?"

The Lion Camel said, "About three. I only know the location of two big mystical creatures at the Divine Weapon Pavilion's realm: one is the Jiao Dragon in the eastern pond, and the other is the Flaming Bird at the southern mountain foot."

"There's one more Divine Weapon Pavilion realm mystical creature, but it's been here in Celestial Scenery Mountain for a long time. I also don't know its specific location; it might be the most mysterious creature in Celestial Scenery Mountain."

"That's all I know. Can you let me go now?" The Lion Camel asked cautiously.

Addressing it, Lu Yu said, "I have one more task for you."

Inside Celestial Scenery Manor, everyone who witnessed Lu Yu's palm strike on the Lion Camel felt deeply shocked and had formed certain opinions on his prowess as the Saint Heir.

Later on, everyone in the hall noticed that Lu Yu and the Lion Camel remained stationary together and were curious.

The projection only showed the movements of people inside Celestial Scenery Mountain but couldn't capture individual subtleties or hear their conversations.

The crowd only noticed Lu Yu and the Lion Camel together for a while, then Lu Yu left, while the Lion Camel stayed for a moment, heading in the opposite direction.

Squeak squeak squeak~ The sound of leaves rustling was heard as several people approached Lu Yu in the forest.

Their positions formed a circle, enveloping Lu Yu within.

They hadn't seen Lu Yu deliver the palm strike to the Lion Camel and approached with the same goal—to test Lu Yu's strength.

Beneath the surface, their intentions undoubtedly targeted the reputation of the Saint Heir.

Especially given Lu Yu's famed battle, defeating the Sword God's shadow in the Soldiers' Secret Realm.

If there's a chance to defeat the Divine Weapon Pavilion's Saint Heir and become famous worldwide, who wouldn't want it?

Before Lu Yu demonstrated absolute dominance, no one felt inferior to him. Challengers continually stepped forward, ever eager for the challenge.

To challenge the strong is something all Martial Cultivators pursuing ultimate strength must undergo.

Even Lu Yu is on this path, progressing further.

Although he's not conscious of it, nor does he actively challenge others, every instance of him battling across realms is indeed a challenge against the strong.

Lu Yu might not actively challenge others, but it doesn't mean others won't come to challenge him.

Swish swish swish~ Several figures appeared before Lu Yu, encircling him. A young man standing in front of him stared fixedly at Lu Yu and shouted, "Saint Heir, my apologies."

After saying this, he rushed forward, preparing to duel with Lu Yu.

Unexpectedly, seeing the three surrounding him, Lu Yu turned and fled into the forest towards an unoccupied direction.

The three were stunned for a moment before realizing.

"Chase!"
