Ye Tianchen, the burly man with the sword on his back, and the Little Black Bear, entered the realm of Mount Everest. It wasn’t the place known to ordinary people in the Mortal World where people could always climb to, but a different world behind a barrier, a truly unique Mount Everest!

After entering the true realm of Mount Everest, Ye Tianchen and the burly man with the sword on his back did not find anything unusual. However, they were convinced that this place was extraordinary. There existed an aura of primitiveness, and some things here were very strange. They believed there would be discoveries. The best way to make it happen was not to search but to stir things up. As long as they caused a commotion within a certain range, there would be no problem!

Unfortunately, after Ye Tianchen kicked the Little Black Bear down the mountain, it stirred things up for a few hours without finding any powerful creatures, not even ordinary ones. It seemed that in this true realm of Mount Everest, apart from the icy world where people could freeze to death, there was nothing else.

The Little Black Bear sat at the bottom of the mountain, clamoring for beer. Ye Tianchen threw it a bottle. Little did it know, as the Little Black Bear was about to drink, it discovered the entire beer bottle was frozen, and the beer inside was also frozen solid. How was it supposed to drink?

Just as the Little Black Bear was upset, thinking Ye Tianchen was teasing it, Ye Tianchen explained that he and the burly man also drank like this. They had to use their Martial Arts True Qi to dissolve the ice constantly, and continuously resist the cold environment. Otherwise, the beer would freeze again halfway through drinking!

The Little Black Bear looked up at Ye Tianchen and the burly man on the mountain and realized Ye Tianchen was not lying. It was indeed true because Ye Tianchen and the burly man maintained a trace of Martial Arts True Qi in their palms. The True Qi flowed continuously, allowing them to enjoy their beer under such circumstances.

After some thought, the Little Black Bear truly felt thirsty. It held the beer bottle with its right paw and slowly tried to channel a strand of Martial Arts True Qi to melt the beer bottle so it could drink. But when it attempted to control the scarce True Qi within, it was shocked. It could not effectively control the Martial Arts True Qi in its body, nor could it maintain a stable flow in its hand. How was it supposed to drink the beer then?

The Little Black Bear’s situation resembled this: when it channeled the Martial Arts True Qi towards its palm, the beer would melt, making it drinkable. But just as it was about to drink, the beer froze again. This cycle repeated several times, and the Little Black Bear still couldn’t drink the beer inside, only staring blankly at the bottle!

"Damn it, I give up on drinking!" The Little Black Bear lashed out in frustration, preparing to throw the beer bottle away.

"With your level of skill and perseverance, you can’t even melt a frozen beer bottle. How do you expect to become stronger? I doubt you’ll make it in this lifetime, maybe in the next one!" the burly man mocked mercilessly.

"Next life? Without becoming an Immortal and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, all living beings only have this life; where’s the next life? I think you’re useless. Old Bai Yi overestimated you. I even feel sad for him!" Ye Tianchen bluntly criticized.

"You... you underestimate me! I’ll melt this beer and drink it right in front of you!" The Little Black Bear furrowed its eyebrows fiercely and shouted loudly.

Ye Tianchen and the burly man simultaneously sneered, saying nothing more. Their eyes were filled with disdain and doubt, infuriating the Little Black Bear into a rage but leaving it helpless.

On the mountain, Ye Tianchen and the burly man continued drinking, seemingly in no hurry to leave. They found nothing yet sensed something bizarre, something not normal. So, they decided to wait a little longer. Below the mountain, the Little Black Bear remained in its original form, sitting cross-legged like a giant mountain. Before it sat a bottle of frozen beer, which it could not melt to drink, despite its persistent attempts.

Hours passed once more, and Ye Tianchen and the burly man finished off a case of beer. Yet their powerful Divine Thought detected nothing out of the ordinary. They exchanged glances and shook their heads, realizing their assumptions might be wrong. The true realm of Mount Everest seemed just an expanse of ice and snow, nothing more!

"Wow, hahaha, I finally did it! I finally did it! I melted the beer, and I can drink it..."

Suddenly, down below, the Little Black Bear erupted in exuberant shouts, as if it had gone mad with joy. It then encased the melted beer bottle in a thin layer of Martial Arts True Qi and tossed it skyward, showing off to Ye Tianchen and the burly man, demonstrating what it had achieved—intending to drink the beer in this triumphant manner. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Roar!

Unexpectedly, just as the Little Black Bear roared, throwing the beer bottle it had smashed open into the air, a roar came from somewhere unknown. This roar was powerful, shaking the air with continuous booms, startling Ye Tianchen and the blade-wielding man, yet also making them delighted. It seemed their speculation was correct. Within the true territory of Mount Everest, there must be living beings. Perhaps these beings had hidden themselves away, perhaps they were in seclusion, and perhaps they never imagined someone would dare to disturb them so recklessly!

"Damn it, who’s shouting like that? Sounds just as cool as my roar!" Little Black Bear’s face was tense, but it still pretended to be calm and said.

Bang!

With a loud crash, a massive black shadow suddenly burst from the thick snow piled like mountains on the ground. This shadow was as large as a mountain, and it charged fiercely at the Little Black Bear!

Bang!

The Little Black Bear was sent flying, landing far away. When it got up, it saw the beer bottle it had thrown into the air, along with the beer inside, was swallowed by the black shadow that had emerged!

"What’s this... another Black Bear?" The blade-wielding man couldn’t help but ask.

"This Black Bear hid under the snow for who knows how long. It must have been angered by the bear kid and discovered the beer, only then did it rush out!" Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

"What should we do? Should we take action and capture this Black Bear for questioning?" The blade-wielding man glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked.

"Not now. This Black Bear’s cultivation isn’t high. To survive here, there must be more powerful living beings behind the scenes. Let’s let the bear kid handle it. We’ll wait and observe the situation!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

Indeed, it was unexpected for a Black Bear to suddenly emerge from under the snow, and its size was no smaller than the Little Black Bear, actually even more robust. This scene was something Ye Tianchen and the blade-wielding man hadn’t anticipated. And what surprised them was that with their Divine Thought Detection Ability, even things buried three feet deep would be sensed. Why didn’t they notice this Black Bear? How long had this Black Bear been lurking below? Considering the rushing Black Bear’s cultivation realm wasn’t high, how could it evade their Divine Thought detection? So, there’s only one possibility: a master must be guiding this Black Bear from behind, hiding somewhere within Mount Everest!

"Damn it, a bear dares to hit me; really think my handsome bear is easy to bully? I’ll crash you to death!" Furious, the Little Black Bear got up, thinking of how it was ambushed by the suddenly emerging Black Bear. It leaped several times, shaking the earth, and charged at the Black Bear!

This Black Bear was strong as well, seeing the handsome bear charging at it, it didn’t retreat at all. Instead, it excitedly roared back, meeting the charge head-on!

Bang!

A muffled sound erupted, causing the entire mountain range to tremble intensely, and snowflakes to whirl everywhere, creating significant turbulence. Ye Tianchen and the blade-wielding man frowned; the battle between the two bears was no ordinary fight. Not speaking of how high their cultivation realms were, just the raw bear strength itself was unmatched by ordinary people, who might be scared to death.

Evenly matched, the two Black Bears clashed, showing a scene of balance. However, on the snow they stood upon, a massive crater formed. This was the result of their brute-force contest!

"Damn it, you’re from the Bear Clan too! Seeing the Bear Ancestor, not only do you fail to politely kneel, but you dare fight me? You’re courting death!" The Little Black Bear roared loudly.

"Roar, roar..." The other Black Bear, although having considerable Spiritual Wisdom, couldn’t yet speak human words. It could only roar back at the Little Black Bear.

However, being members of the Bear Clan, the Little Black Bear naturally understood what the Black Bear was saying. It smacked the other bear with its paw, very displeased, and said, "Damn it, the Bear Clan has always been strong, would rather die than be slaves! You actually became someone’s slave? I’ll smack you to death!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
