Chapter 1041 Immortal Law

Although the word ‘death’ was in the Immortal Sacred Mountain’s name, its presence and appearance were the complete opposite.

The mountain was majestic like a large, winding dragon. It was entirely jet-black and gave off a sensation of reaching into the sky to hold the sun. Moreover, every inch of it flowed with an eternal-like sacred aura.

At its center, thirty-six peaks seemed to blossom like lotus flowers. They reached into the clouds and shimmered with strong divine light.

Anyone who saw the mountain would feel a grand impression of it standing here for countless years, forever eternal and indestructible.

It was so sacred and extraordinary that it influenced the Laws of the Immortal Forbidden Land, causing it to become filled with vitality and auspiciousness and resemble a true holy land.

"So this is Immortal Sacred Mountain."

Lin Xun couldn’t help but be shaken. His spirit power was extremely strong, allowing him to instantly capture the mountain’s immortal and everlasting presence that was filled with fluctuations of incomprehensible supreme power.

It was rumored that in every Little Giants List Competition, the top thirty-six rankers would obtain a share of the great dao luck produced from the Immortal Sacred Mountain.

The higher the ranking, the more great dao luck one received.

Without luck, one would not be able to become a King, Hence, great dao luck was one of the most ungraspable and precious things in the world.

Ordinary opportunities might allow a cultivator's strength to skyrocket.

On the other hand, great dao luck could affect a cultivator's path and even influence the direction of destiny!

Take attacking the Supreme King stage for example. Without luck, even with the strongest foundation and most astonishing talent, a cultivator would still be doomed to never reach the Supreme King stage.

Simply put, the stronger one's luck, the more frequently one would encounter opportunities.

Moreover, encounters with calamities and adversity would become easier to overcome.

If one had poor luck, no matter how fast one’s cultivation progressed, one would be destined to fail mid-way and end up with nothing.

‘One life, two luck, and three feng shui’ was a universal truth in the secular world.

Xiao Qinghe cleared his throat and explained, ''Although this Little Giants List Competition is different from the past, it still retains the same rules and formats and is roughly divided into three stages.

"The first stage is 'climbing the mountain,' the second stage is 'guarding the mountain,' and the third stage is the 'competition for luck,' which is also regarded as the ranking competition.

"When the Little Giants List Competition starts, the participating experts will immediately rush up the Immortal Sacred Mountain. This stage is all about being fast. Whoever takes the lead will have the upper hand in the second stage, 'guarding the mountain.'”

A'lu said in an unconcerned manner, "How hard can it be? I was already playing around with thousand-foot-tall mountains when I was fourteen."

"Fool!"

Xiao Qinghe didn’t hold back, feeling that he had finally found a chance to attack A'lu.

He sneered and said, ''That's the Immortal Sacred Mountain. If you can dig out a single rock from there, I’ll happily admit defeat."

Without waiting for A'lu to retort, Xiao Qinghe continued, "There will be random skirmishes during the climb, so choosing the route is very important.

"As you guys can see, there are thirty-six peaks on the Immortal Sacred Mountain, which means that only thirty-six people can win.

"Hence, if you end up choosing the same route as those formidable individuals, you will probably end up clashing with them which might lead to unforeseeable consequences.

"In past Little Giants List Competitions, the most powerful supreme heaven prides would choose different routes because a clash between such individuals would often result in both parties being seriously injured which is not worth it for either of them."

Lin Xun nodded. If supreme heaven prides like Xiao Cangtian chose the same peak to climb, a lot of strong participants would be eliminated in the first stage.

Such a scenario would indeed be a huge waste for those who had the combat power to be ranked in the Little Giants List.

Therefore, before beginning the climb, it was wise to first deliberate whether a ‘king encountering king’ scenario could be avoided as it would undoubtedly be the best result.

Xiao Qinghe was clearly worried about this.

The reason was simple. The current Little Giants List Competition was completely different from the past. There were too many overwhelming supreme heaven prides participating, and thirty-six peaks weren’t enough for all of them.

Hence, the competition was destined to be more brutal and difficult than ever!

Lin Xun asked, "Are there any dangers or restrictions on the Immortal Sacred Mountain?"

Xiao Qinghe shook his head. ''There’s no danger, but there is a dao restriction that makes it impossible to fly when climbing the mountain. Moreover, the participants need to withstand a certain level of pressure while climbing and can only rely on their own strength to reach the top.

"Additionally, those who exceed thirty in age or possess cultivation above the Cyclic Derivation stage will not be able to participate.

"Most importantly, when ascending the Immortal Sacred Mountain, Saint treasures, some terrifying forbidden methods, and insidious secret treasures will be completely suppressed and unable to be used!"

At this point, Lin Xun finally understood the rules of the mountain climbing stage.

"Of course, this is only the first stage. Unless you’re really unlucky or have a deep grudge against certain opponents, most participants will usually be able to ascend a peak.

"The real test is the second stage, 'guarding the mountain!’"

Xiao Qinghe's expression became more serious as he continued, "The thirty-six peaks will ultimately end up occupied by thirty-six supreme heaven prides. However, whoever occupies a peak will be attacked by the other experts. In the end, everything will depend on whether you’ll manage to defend it!

"That is also when the true competition of combat prowess will start.

"Remember, you only have one chance when vying for a peak. Once you fail, you will be eliminated from the competition.

"In addition, there’s a time limit of one incense stick from the start of the ‘mountain climbing’ stage to the ‘guarding the mountain’ stage. Anyone who’s still on the peaks after this will qualify for the Little Giants List and the subsequent ranking battle."

At this point, Xiao Qinghe suddenly realized that he was being a little redundant.

After all, Lin Xun and A'lu were both monsters.

Given their strength, they had more than 50% odds of successfully defending a peak!

Lin Xun asked, "What about the third stage, the competition for luck?"

Xiao Qinghe smiled mysteriously and said, ''You’ll understand when the time comes."

Without further ado, the trio headed towards the Immortal Sacred Mountain in the distance.

……

Numerous cultivators were already gathered at the foot of the Immortal Sacred Mountain.

The crowd consisted of both men and women who were all very much on the younger side. Each individual seemed extraordinary and vaguely exuded auras that far exceeded their peers.

They were all top younger generation experts from various factions in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Even the weakest among them was at the true disciple level!

There were also many core disciples of ancient orthodoxies like Xiao Qinghe. Each seemed to shine like a proud sun while surrounded by numerous followers like stars around the moon.

Of course, this included escorts and servants. These entourages further accentuated the great status and extraordinary backgrounds of the ancient orthodoxy disciples.

Several Windspeaker Clan experts were also scrambling all over with excited expressions as they recorded various scenes with News Tree leaves.

These Windspeaker Clan experts weren’t here to participate in the Little Giants List Competition. Instead, they were here for entertainment and to collect news.

The current cycle of the Little Giants List Competition was a gathering of shining younger-generation stars from all four great worlds. Any random individual among them was once in a ten thousand years talent, and there was no lack of famous supreme heaven prides in the group.

These usually rare heaven prides in the outside world were practically everywhere to be found at the Immortal Sacred Mountain. It wouldn’t be wrong to call this a gathering of heaven prides and dazzling stars.

Due to the approaching great age, the current Little Giants List Competition became completely different from the past and was the focal point of countless people in the outside world.

With heaven prides from all four great worlds of the current era gathered here, everyone was itching to find out which lucky individuals would end up on the Little Giants List.

Many ancient orthodoxies were paying close attention to this event.

How could the Windspeaker Clan, who were known to be the nosiest in the world, possibly miss out on such an unprecedented event?

When Lin Xun and the others arrived, they were greeted by this very scene.

"Damn, the number of participants is at least twice as many as in previous years!" Xiao Qinghe gasped.

He had already recognized a number of familiar figures with a single glance, all of whom were supreme heaven prides comparable to himself!

"There are indeed a lot of people." Lin Xun couldn’t help but be taken aback as well.

There was no lack of supreme heaven prides with exceptional auras. In fact, a few of them seemed so superior that they vaguely resembled cranes among chickens.

Moreover, the rest of the young men and women were also dazzling. They were clearly the cream of the crop, each with their own unique style and charm.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but inwardly sigh. At least half of the top younger-generation experts were present!

If one were to think about it, this did make sense.

The four great worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain were all infinitely vast with countless cities, multitudes of factions, and hundreds of millions of cultivators.

Even if only one supreme heaven pride would emerge among 100,000 young experts, there would be a huge group of them if you were to take into account all four great worlds.

Moreover, the ancient orthodoxies like the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms, the Longevity Land, the Omega Sword Sect, and the Spirit Treasure Holy Land were never lacking in peerless talents!

A'lu scanned the crowd with wide eyes. In the end, he seemed a little disappointed as he muttered, "Are these the so-called heaven prides of this era? From what I can see, they’re not as powerful as the Star Luo Bird descendants of my village. They might appear impressive, but they’re no good at fighting."

Xiao Qinghe hurriedly covered A'lu's mouth, ''Where do you think we are? Can you not make such provocative remarks? Aren't you afraid of drawing public anger and becoming a target?"

"Pathetic!"

As soon as A'lu pushed Xiao Qinghe's hand away, he rolled his eyes and said, ''What’s there to be afraid of as long as your fist is big enough?"

Xiao Qinghe's expression turned cloudy, feeling vexed. A few words from this guy’s mouth were more than enough to offend swathes of people!

Although A'lu's voice wasn’t loud, the cultivators present had sharp ears and senses. In an instant, many gazes turned toward them.

Trouble came as expected!

Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but inwardly lament. Although he wasn’t afraid of trouble, he didn’t wish for unnecessary trouble.

However, A'lu’s provocative comments had already succeeded in drawing attention to them.
