Chapter 4: Hundred Toxins Peak
Chapter 4: Hundred Toxins Peak
Fang Che began his cultivation, deep in thought.
"The Infinite Scripture!"
This was the name of the mysterious technique he had obtained.
He turned to the first page.
"Cultivating this technique is just the beginning; the path to strength is endless. I can guide you, but how far you go is up to you. The vast starry sky is limitless, and I am here to guide you."
On the title page, there was a single sentence.
Fang Che's eyebrows furrowed.
After a moment, Fang Che smiled and said softly, "Perhaps I'm not as bad as you think!"
He flipped the page.
"When the cultivation reaches its peak, the law becomes profound. In the heavens, one can take or give as they please; among the countless stars, one may feel it's never enough. With an infinite heart, the path becomes infinite. This is the Infinite Scripture!"
Then, the cultivation technique's oral instructions followed.
After reading the initial section, Fang Che realized that compared to his previous life's cultivation technique, this one was a thousand times more powerful!
As for his previous life's cultivation technique... he decided not to mention it.
What else was there to say? It was time to cultivate!
Fang Che quickly began his meditation, cultivating the first layer of the Infinite Scripture.
The spiritual energy within his body instantly activated, strictly following the path of the Infinite Scripture. In an instant, he felt his entire body heat up as countless Yang attribute spiritual particles entered his body.
He instantly felt his head steaming.
The speed at which he absorbed this spiritual energy startled him.
Too fast!
After completing the first Small Heavenly Circuit...
Fang Che felt his body tremble.
Fang Che was so surprised that he opened his eyes.
Had he just broken through the barrier from Wu Shi to Wu Shi Er Pin?
Although he had been reborn with countless cultivation experiences, the barrier between Wu Shi and Wu Shi Er Pin was the most basic cultivation challenge. However, breaking through this barrier so easily still shocked Fang Che.
Was this Infinite Scripture truly this miraculous?
He immediately furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
Since he had broken through...
He took out a bottle of martial energy pill given to him by his senior cousin and swallowed it in one go.
He began to circulate his energy.
A ball of fiery energy gathered in the small courtyard once more.
After a while...
"Huff..."
"Wu Shi Er Pin," Fang Che declared, stabilizing his realm as he opened his eyes.
"My senior cousin truly is a reliable person."
What surprised him the most was that once the Infinite Scripture was activated, the Five Spirit Toad in his Dan Tian was immediately restricted! Fang Che had a feeling that if he wished, he could refine the Five Spirit Toad at any time.
Some of the Dan Tian's spiritual energy had already transformed into Infinite Spirit Energy, causing the Five Spirit Toad to shrink and tremble.
It was clear that this spiritual energy could refine him.
Fang Che felt the power and, in his astonishment, quickly circulated his spiritual energy, carefully nurturing the Five Spirit Toad within him.
This was a treasure that could infiltrate the enemy's inner circle.
But he couldn't afford to die.
However, this Five Spirit Toad, which was supposed to be unrefinable, was being refined by his Infinite Scripture?!
...
Meanwhile, at the Su Clan.
After Su Yue brought back the news, an emergency meeting was immediately called.
There were two topics for discussion: Is this news real or fake?
If it's real, who should we send?
The discussion quickly led to a conclusion: It must be real.
After all, the Absolute Sword Overlord was a genuine strong cultivator.
"That kid is completely unaware, and he just heard this while in a coma. I speculate that it was Fang Wending and his son, Fang Wenhang, talking, with no one else around to worry about being overheard. I didn't expect this guy to wake up right when he was talking," said a white-bearded elder with eyes full of wisdom.
"Even if it were me, it would be difficult to imagine such a turn of events."
"True," replied another elder.
"In these past few years, Su Yue and that kid have become close friends. That kid listens to Su Yue's every word and follows his plans. He would never lie," the elder added.
"True, hahaha! That stupid kid, on the other hand, wouldn't dare to lie, especially during the time when his cousin almost beat him to death," another elder laughed.
"Indeed, it's impossible for him to lie during such a critical moment."
"So, the matter of the Absolute Sword Overlord is likely real."
"I never expected the Fang Clan to be so cunning, using a fake message to mislead us for so many years! Haha..."
Laughter filled the room.
The clan leader, Su Yunhe, made a decision, "Since it's confirmed, we must act immediately. There's no time to waste. This time, who should we send?"
The white-bearded elder frowned and said gravely, "You must know that the Fang Clan has searched numerous times without success. I speculate that they either didn't search in the right place or lacked the necessary strength. They mentioned countless venomous creatures, even including a Grandmaster-level venomous snake."
"The Fang Clan lacks both strength and the courage to make a fuss. For such a matter, you all know that no family would seek help."
Everyone laughed and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, how could they ask for help in this situation?
If the helper's cultivation was lower, they would be useless, and if it was higher... wouldn't that be too dangerous? It would be like digging their own grave—who could resist the temptation of such a treasure or heritage?
"Since it's like this, we can't send too few people. Their strength can't be too weak either!"
"For safety's sake, it's better if we all go."
One person raised an objection: "Should we wait for the messenger to return?"
The others unanimously replied: "No!"
"Should we wait for him to come back? Is this item still in our possession?"
"No time to waste, gather everyone immediately!"
"Good!"
That very night.
All of Su Clan's elite members disguised themselves and left the city in different directions, gathering outside the city in an open field, like a flock of arrows shooting into the darkness.
...
It was still that very night.
Fang Che also packed his things, put a black cloth in his pocket, and left the courtyard.
He was still worried.
What if Su Clan really got their hands on it?
"Young Master, where are you going?"
He was stopped as he exited the Fang residence.
"Going to find a girl, what's it to you? What can you do at night anyway?" Fang Che rolled his eyes.
"..."
The guarding warrior at the door silently stepped aside, his heart filled with bitterness.
You're amazing! Go find a girl!
I'll stay here and guard the door.
Fang Che casually walked out of the main gate.
He headed towards the southern part of the city, filled with the scent of cosmetics.
Soon, his figure disappeared.
...
Half an hour later.
Outside the city, at a wealthy man's residence.
Chaos ensued.
The sound of horse hooves was like a sudden downpour, quickly fading into the distance.
A fat man was rolling on the ground: "Catch the thief... He stole the horse I was riding..."
...
Fang Che hid on the horse's back, like a black ghost.
Leaning forward, he adjusted his posture with each rise and fall of the horse's stride, lightly bouncing with each step, his weight not burdening the horse but rather urging it forward.
With his highly skilled horsemanship, he and the horse seemed to become one, riding through the dark night, the sound of hooves like a rainstorm, racing towards the distance.
The target.
Bai Zhan Peak.
During the rapid ride, Fang Che reached into his pocket.
He unfolded the black cloth.
Slowly, he wrapped it around his face.
The night wind howled, pressing the cloth tightly against his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone brightly in the dark night, reflecting the starlight.
Four hours of mad dashing.
Dawn broke.
They were already 700 li away from Verdant Wave City.
The horse was exhausted.
Fang Che dismounted by a pond, leading the horse to drink and rest.
"You've done well, horse. If you know the way back, go on your own. If not, wait for me to return and guide you." Fang Che patted the horse's neck and leaped away.
... He stole another horse.
A familiar path.
The ride continued.
Three hundred li later.
They had entered the vast mountain range, a treacherous path. They were approaching the outskirts of the Wan Ling Forest.
Once again, Fang Che let the horse graze by a stream at the foot of a mountain, then with a quick flash, he disappeared into the dense forest.
He was like a chameleon in the forest, instantly disappearing from sight.
Unable to witness how the Su Clan members died, Fang Che always felt that his plan was not feasible.
The Su Clan members had left much earlier than him, but they had to constantly verify their direction and confirm their location.
Although Fang Che set out later, he was still faster than the Su Clan members, entering Bai Zhan Peak two hours ahead of them.
Standing on a nearby mountain peak, Fang Che confirmed the direction and then leaped down.
He moved through the dense forest, dodging all the thorns and vines, his movements as smooth as silk.
He even had time to gather materials, digging up various medicinal herbs.
Finally... All the herbs were smashed into a paste by his knife on a stone.
They became a pungent medicinal paste.
Fang Che smeared half of the paste on his body.
Then, with the remaining half, he stealthily made his way to the back of the mountain.
As he walked, countless venomous insects smelled the scent and scattered in all directions.
He successfully reached a pond hidden by bushes at the back of the mountain.
Gently pushing aside the bushes covering the pond, he revealed the deep green water.
A splash.
Fang Che threw the remaining medicinal paste into the pond.
Then, he leaned against a large rock, not moving an inch.
Instantly.
The pond began to boil.
The medicinal paste dissolved in the water, creating bubbles, and soon the entire pond became murky.
The foul-smelling paste exploded at the bottom of the pond, quickly spreading throughout the water.
The surface of the pond remained calm, but beneath, it was like a world filled with toxic gas.
A few minutes later.
Countless venomous water snakes and other bizarre water creatures emerged, scrambling to escape the water, fleeing to the shore.
This smell was so damn annoying!
A quarter of an hour later.
The pond churned with waves, and a round, fat crocodile head emerged, grunting as it fled.
It seemed to be cursing the smell, even spitting twice.
Fang Che remained unmoved.
Half an hour later.
No more venomous insects were crawling out.
Fang Che watched as the water in the pond gradually cleared, and then, looking at the bottom, the color of the mud slowly turned grayish-white.
(End of Chapter)Still no movement.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The water stirred, and a walnut-sized creature with a milky white body emerged, revealing itself to be a Spirit Serpent. Its body seemed somewhat ethereal, but it was close to possessing a physical form.
A golden horn protruded from the Spirit Serpent's head, emitting a substantial golden light.
Fang Che's eyes lit up with a smile, and he materialized, using his newly acquired Warrior cultivation to unleash his Soul Pressure.
"Hello there." Fang Che said with a mischievous grin.
In his previous life, right by this pond, he had slain the Thousand Venomous Demon King and his battle pet, the Golden Horned Serpent! However, he hadn't completely annihilated the Golden Horned Serpent's soul, and it had escaped into this pond.
It turned out that this place was a rare Nine Yin Land, the best place for soul nurturing.
Soul bodies were hard to preserve, and it was common knowledge that such places were scarce. Therefore, he had spared the Golden Horned Serpent's soul, leaving himself a backup plan.
Little did he expect that in his previous life, he never got to see the soul body take shape, but now, in this life, he had.
At this moment, an old friend had reunited.
And it was the Soul Pressure that was Fang Che's true trump card this time.
With just three words, Fang Che's Soul Pressure directly froze the newly appeared Spirit Serpent in mid-air.
Feeling the familiar terrifying Soul Pressure, the Golden Horned Serpent turned its head in disbelief, only to see Fang Che's amiable smile.
"Wuuu..."
The Golden Horned Serpent burst into tears on the spot.
It wasn't a nightmare after all.
If the Golden Horned Serpent were in its full state, Fang Che wouldn't have dared to come.
But with only its spirit body, Fang Che wasn't afraid anymore.
Although its strength was not to be underestimated, Fang Che was confident he could subdue it.
Indeed, just by relying on his Soul Pressure, he directly made this little guy submit.
"Don't be afraid. I came this time to ask for your help." Fang Che said, emitting a soul fluctuation.
After a while, the Golden Horned Serpent finally calmed down. Its fear remained, but it was now under control.
A moment later...
Fang Che leaped down and entered the pond.
The Golden Horned Serpent turned pure white in the water, resembling a physical entity, leading the way at the front.
They smoothly entered the mountain's belly, entering a cave.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Jia's people arrived at the opposite side, exhausted from their journey.
When they set off, Su Jia had sent a total of one hundred and twenty-four people.
Now, only ninety-six people remained.
"Twenty-eight people, buried in this forest." Su Yunhe, the head of the Su Clan, said with a heavy expression.
"I never expected this forest to be so treacherous. The venomous creatures are indeed numerous."
"But now that we've found the treasure's location, it's worth it, no matter how dangerous it is." Su Changying, the Su Clan elder, said.
"This kind of treasure trove, even if it's more dangerous, I wouldn't be surprised."
As they spoke, a group of people clearing weeds in front suddenly let out a miserable scream.
Twenty to thirty people were rolling on the ground.
On the ground, a layer of golden ants appeared, about the size of soybeans, but with bodies as tough as iron. They couldn't be crushed to death.
Many had quickly crawled onto people's bodies, ignoring their True Yuan protection, and biting into their flesh.
A buzzing sound rang out.
Countless golden-headed centipedes spread their tiny wings and flew over.
On the ground, golden-headed millipedes appeared in pieces.
Swish, swish, swish...
Poisonous snakes emerged from all around, revealing themselves.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Countless venomous insects flew in from all directions, filling the sky.
"Quick! Quick... Use the poison repellent!" Su Yunhe shouted in panic.
After a chaotic scene of hands and feet.
The Su Clan members' poison repellent covered the entire ground, forming a thick layer, and the corpses of venomous creatures piled up on the ground, thick enough to bury their feet.
Countless snakes were chopped into several segments, still writhing.
Finally, this wave of crisis passed.
The Su Clan had lost sixty-six people! Out of the initial one hundred and twenty-four, only thirty remained, and they had just found the cave entrance.
Moreover, the cave entrance was sealed.
Behind the thick stone door, the Golden Horned Serpent struggled to emit soul fluctuations, causing the venomous creatures outside to attack.
...
"Why are there so many venomous creatures!" Su Yunhe exclaimed in anger and surprise.
"What kind of Absolute Sword Overlord is this? Is this poisonous setup also considered an Overlord?"
"But we finally found it!" Su Changying said with a fervent expression.
"Opening this door is the hope for the rise of our Su Clan. Even if it's a Seventh Rank Aristocratic Family, there's still hope."
"For this, no matter how many sacrifices, it's worth it!"
"Prepare to break the door."
Su Yue, hiding among the Warrior-level guards, turned pale. His eyes were filled with fear, reaching the extreme—in front of him were the corpses of his clan members!
As the pampered second young master of the family, when had he ever seen so much death? People who were just laughing and chatting with him moments ago were now stiff corpses lying beside him.
He didn't know how, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered a casual remark Fang Che had made when they parted ways.
"This is my little way of repaying the Su Brother for his care over the years."
With a smile that seemed like a smirk.
