Chapter 674
by fanqienovelChapter 674: The Five-Color Mountain Peak
Wang Yulun used every trick in the book to stabilize the force yanking down on the fishing hook.
"What on earth is on the other side, pulling with such insane strength?"
Just as Xu Fan was about to lend a hand to his buddy, he got pinned down by some strange powers, leaving him stuck on the sidelines, unable to help Wang Yulun any further.
Wang Yulun’s face flushed red, his hands clenched the fishing rod like a vice, pulling up with everything he had.
He was burning through every last bit of his energy just to keep things from spiraling out of control.
Then, out of nowhere, another massive tug came from the other end, trying to drag Wang Yulun over.
"No way, I’ve gotta help my bro," Xu Fan thought.
He could see Wang Yulun’s feet slowly sliding toward the edge, the sheer force carving two deep trenches into the ground.
"Those with limitless strength are the enlightened ones of heaven, the roots of the earth."
"Those who can tear the sky possess the power to…"
Xu Fan channeled a piece of the scriptures into Wang Yulun’s ears using some special technique.
Since he couldn’t help directly, he had to get creative.
The moment Wang Yulun heard the scriptures, it was like he’d downed a strength potion—he snapped back, regaining his footing against the pull.
"Boom!!"
Wang Yulun took a step back, leaving a deep footprint, then another.
The thing on the other end was still yanking hard, but no matter how much it pulled, Wang Yulun wasn’t budging.
"Get out here!!!"
Wang Yulun’s veins were popping, his face a mask of determination as he roared.
And then, out of the void, a massive Five-Color Mountain Peak, a hundred feet tall, emerged.
The second the mountain appeared, Wang Yulun’s strength gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
The Five-Color Mountain Peak started sliding into the Extreme Void Domain, but at the last second, Xing grabbed the artifact-level fishing rod with a steady hand.
Even as the mountain pulled with all its might, Xing’s arms didn’t so much as twitch.
"Dad, here, reel it in!"
Wang Yulun, sitting on the ground, looked at Xing, who was holding the fishing rod with ease.
"I’m spent, give it to Uncle Xu, I’m done," Wang Yulun said, barely able to speak.
Xing glanced at Xu Fan.
"Hand it over," Xu Fan said with a grin.
The moment the hundred-foot Five-Color Mountain Peak appeared in this realm, the strange powers holding Xu Fan vanished.
Xu Fan took the fishing rod from Xing and gave it a sharp flick upward, like he was reeling in a big catch.
He directly placed the Five-Color Mountain Peak into the Daoist artifact palace.
"It’s quite heavy; it seems your father used all his strength," Xu Fan said casually.
Wang Yulun, lying on the ground, felt a bit embarrassed.
"Thank you, Big Brother Xu. If it weren’t for you, I would have fallen in," Wang Yulun expressed his gratitude.
"What do we need to thank each other for between brothers?" Xu Fan replied nonchalantly.
"Big Brother Xu, could I comprehend the scriptures you transmitted to me earlier?"
At that time, Wang Yulun had exhausted all his strength, but upon hearing the scriptures of the wide road, boundless power erupted from his body.
"Your cultivation isn’t enough; it’s fine for temporary use, but really trying to comprehend it might lead to problems in your practice," Xu Fan shook his head.
This was the scripture he had comprehended when he was on the verge of reaching the Golden Immortal Realm in that nightmare illusion world.
It wasn’t suitable for cultivation at the moment.
"I see now; that’s why it felt so powerful," Wang Yulun said with a laugh.
A Great Replenishing Pill helped the exhausted Wang Yulun recover.
The two of them, along with Xing, arrived at a plain behind the main peak.
A hundred-foot-high Five-Color Mountain Peak appeared, and Xu Fan and Wang Yulun began to study it.
"What is this, Big Brother Xu?" Wang Yulun asked.
"The Five-Color Mountain Peak can absorb spiritual energy and convert it into celestial energy," Xu Fan explained.
"Moreover, beneath the mountain, the Laws of the Five Elements can actually manifest, making this a great place for cultivation."
"However, I don’t know its origins; it might be a treasure from the upper realm or another cultivation world," Xu Fan speculated.
At that moment, Xu Gang, sensing the aura of the Five-Color Mountain Peak, flew over with Spirit Cut.
"Master, what is the origin of this Five-Color Mountain Peak?"
"Why do I want to cultivate beneath it so badly?" Xu Gang said eagerly.
"This is what your Uncle Wang fished out. If you want to cultivate, ask your Uncle Wang," Xu Fan said with a smile.
No matter how this item came to be, it was definitely a good thing.
"Feel free to use it; anyone who wants to cultivate here can do so in the future," Wang Yulun generously offered.
"I’ll trade you this Five-Color Mountain Peak for two celestial tools. How does that sound?" Xu Fan suggested after some thought.
"Then could you help me refine a fishing rod that can enhance my strength, Big Brother Xu?" Wang Yulun said shyly.
"Of course! I’ll also refine a custom celestial tool for my sister-in-law. With that, if I trade you for this Five-Color Mountain Peak, how about it?" Xu Fan replied.
"Big Brother Xu, don’t worry about trading. If you like something, you can take whatever you want, and I’m fine with it," Wang Yulun smiled.
"Look at what you’re saying," Xu Fan chuckled.
At that moment, many disciples practicing the Five Elements path began to gather around the Five-Color Mountain Peak.
"Pu Tao, tell the onlooking disciples to leave first."
"After half a month, they will be allowed to cultivate here," Xu Fan said. He wanted to experiment personally to see if there were any downsides to cultivating beneath the Five-Color Mountain Peak.
"Understood, Master."
The onlooking disciples bowed to Xu Fan and left.
"Big Brother Xu, I’m going to rest for a while; that last struggle drained my energy," Wang Yulun said.
"Go ahead and rest well!"
Once everyone had left, Xu Fan used a formation to seal the Five-Color Mountain Peak.
He then stepped into the enclosed formation.
Xu Fan sat cross-legged under the Five-Color Mountain Peak and slowly began to practice the Five Elements Technique.
As Xu Fan cultivated, the entire Five-Color Mountain Peak glowed with five-colored light.
The entire enclosed formation space illuminated like a disco hall.
As Xu Fan entered a deeper state, the Laws of the Five Elements around the Five-Color Mountain Peak manifested, becoming scriptures swirling around Xu Fan.
Three days later, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, the entire enclosed space was filled with celestial energy.
"The conversion efficiency is incredibly high!" Xu Fan marveled at the flowing celestial energy.
"The technique related to the Five Elements and yin and yang has special enhancements, and I don’t see any significant flaws for now," Xu Fan said as he looked at the Five-Color Mountain Peak.
"Pu Tao, have you managed to uncover the origins of the Five-Color Mountain Peak yet?"
"There are no similar records in the database," Pu Tao’s voice replied.
"It seems this should be a treasure from the Thousand Worlds."
