Chapter 346: Forced Cheating!
Fang Yu had no interest in treasures or cultivation techniques.
What he wanted most was spiritual energy.
If the Wuji Daoist had left a spiritual vein for his descendants, that would be even better.
Fang Yu looked at the mountain path ahead, a hint of a playful smile appearing on his face.
Since he understood the routine of the inheritance site, he naturally wouldn’t follow the same path to undergo the so-called trials.
He intended to take the inheritance directly!
Fang Yu knew that every volcano contained an inheritance, but he wasn’t sure which volcano held one that contained spiritual energy.
So, he decided to tackle them one by one.
He would start with the first volcano.
After making his decision, Fang Yu pushed off the ground and soared into the air, heading straight for the top of the volcano.
Just as he had thought, he barely flew five meters high when he felt an overwhelming pressure.
It was as if an indestructible giant mountain was pressing down on him, leaving no possibility for breakthrough.
This was the power of the prohibition left by the Wuji Daoist, a powerful being in the tribulation stage.
He wanted to ensure that anyone entering the inheritance site could not take shortcuts or find an easy way out.
Fang Yu threw two punches at the sky above him as a test.
“Bang! Bang!”
After two muffled sounds, the force acting on Fang Yu increased, pressing him down as if trying to force him back to the ground.
But Fang Yu remained unaffected.
He looked around.
In theory, a prohibition is like a formation, possessing a core.
As long as the core is eliminated, the prohibition will automatically lift.
Fang Yu didn’t want to create too much noise, so he aimed to find the core of the prohibition first and then destroy it.
But then he thought, the Wuji Daoist was a tribulation stage cultivator.
In the tribulation stage, one could be called a half-step immortal, or a semi-immortal.
Such a being could create rules.
The prohibition he set up might not have any obvious vulnerabilities like a core.
Even if there was a core, Fang Yu didn’t want to waste a lot of time searching for it; it would be quicker to break through directly.
Moreover, if he lifted the prohibition, other martial artists above the master realm within the Flame Mountain Range would also notice.
In that case, those martial artists could take shortcuts just like him and easily enter the volcano to seize the inheritance.
Fang Yu didn’t want to make things easier for others.
Thus, even if it might cause a significant commotion, Fang Yu decided to break through the prohibition!
Fang Yu landed back on the ground and looked up at the sky above.
Then, a golden light radiated from his body.
A powerful and sacred aura spread out.
Fang Yu concentrated his true energy in his feet and then pushed off with all his might!
“Boom!”
The ground beneath him instantly collapsed, and Fang Yu shot upwards with all his strength!
The force of the prohibition pressed down on Fang Yu, but he bore it with sheer will!
Fang Yu shot up like a rocket, reaching nearly a hundred meters in just a few seconds!
The higher he ascended, the stronger the pressure on him became.
The prohibition power left by the Wuji Daoist wanted to crush Fang Yu to pieces!
But it clearly couldn’t achieve that.
“Just around a hundred meters, and the pressure is already similar to what I felt thousands of meters underwater at Jiufeng Island. Truly impressive,” Fang Yu thought.
But even as he thought this, Fang Yu’s figure didn’t stop.
The first volcano was about three hundred meters high, and Fang Yu quickly broke through two hundred meters.
Two hundred meters, two hundred thirty meters, two hundred fifty meters, two hundred sixty meters…
As he ascended, Fang Yu could vaguely see the group of martial artists below who were walking along the mountain path.
With the increase in height, the pressure on Fang Yu reached its peak.
The density of the surrounding forces had reached a point where not even a speck of dust could fit in.
At this position, if any creature from Earth, even the hardest of inanimate objects, were to be placed in Fang Yu’s position, it would be instantly obliterated.
“The prohibition power has reached its limit, so I’m sorry.”
A smile appeared on Fang Yu’s face as his true energy erupted once more.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, Fang Yu’s figure surged upwards again, and in just a few seconds, he reached the volcano’s mouth!
Standing on the ground in front of the volcano’s mouth, Fang Yu looked at the red beam of light before him, his eyes flickering.
The entrance to the first inheritance was right here.
Fang Yu walked straight towards the volcano’s mouth and then leaped in.
…
“Boom…”
Hearing the loud noise from above, a team of martial artists at the front of the mountain path of the first volcano showed expressions of shock.
They had reached the mountainside by now, encountering numerous dangers along the way, and had already lost two companions.
“What’s going on?” a master asked.
“Not sure… it sounds like it’s coming from above,” the leading martial artist replied, his expression serious.
“Could someone have already reached the top?” another master asked.
“Impossible. From what we can see, we are the frontmost team,” the martial artist frowned and said. “Once we entered the Flame Mountain Range, everyone was in equal competition. In the face of the powerful prohibition, no one can take shortcuts. Even those noble descendants from prestigious families cannot use their treasures or techniques; they can only obediently move forward.”
…
Following behind this team was the young master of the Wu family, Wu Dong, and his fiancée, Man Tong.
These two were accompanied by four powerful martial artists at the master realm, moving forward together.
The deeper they went, the heavier the pressure on them became.
Thus, they couldn’t speed up and could only move forward step by step against the pressure.
As descendants of the two major families in the central region, Wu Dong and Man Tong were used to a privileged life; they had never experienced such a grueling walk.
“Brother Dong, how much longer until we reach the top? I’m so tired,” Man Tong wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked.
Wu Dong panted slightly, glanced at Man Tong, and said, “Not long now; we’ve already covered half the distance.”
Behind Wu Dong’s team were other teams from various prestigious families or sects.
Their status might be noble, and their cultivation might be high.
But once they entered the Flame Mountain Range, all of that had to be set aside.
Everyone had to endure the pressure and heat, facing various potential dangers, and struggle to reach the summit of the first volcano.
…
“Master, is there really no other way? Can’t you use the Shadow Shift technique…”
In the middle of the crowd, a master from the Evil Moon Sect, feeling somewhat impatient, asked the leader, Yue Wuhen.
Yue Wuhen stopped, turned to look at the master, and said coldly, “The owner of this inheritance site may have reached the legendary Martial God realm, or even beyond… Do you think the prohibitions he set can be easily broken? I just tried using my movement technique; as soon as I did, the prohibition detected it, and the pressure on me surged.”
“If you stop using your techniques, the pressure on you will only increase until it reaches an unbearable level.”
“If you want to seek some excitement, you can certainly try using the Shadow Shift technique; I won’t stop you.”
After hearing Yue Wuhen’s words, the five masters exchanged glances, naturally not daring to complain further.
…
After Fang Yu jumped into the volcano’s mouth, he entered a completely new world.
This place was nothing like the inside of a volcanic cave.
Fang Yu found himself in a room.
Around him were six doors.
Each of these six doors had different patterns engraved on their panels.
The patterns were quite complex, and at a glance, it was impossible to understand what they expressed.
Fang Yu knew he had to choose one door to enter.
Only by selecting the correct door could he obtain the inheritance.
Fang Yu examined the patterns on the six doors.
Upon closer inspection, he could see that the patterns on the six doors had a certain order.
With enough time and attention, one could find the differences in the patterns above one of the doors and enter through it.
Fang Yu understood the principle, but he didn’t want to waste time.
He was very clear about one thing.
That is, the inheritance left by the Wuji Daoist could not have an overly difficult trial; otherwise, no one would be able to obtain the inheritance.
So, Fang Yu only needed to open each of the six doors once.
With that thought in mind, Fang Yu opened the door in front of him.
