Running water trickled, waterfall spray flew, mountain was a sharp green, and the blue peaks towered into the clouds.

Two cliffs split the treacherous terrain, and there were the cries of beasts all around. Gazing towards the mountaintop sealed in the clouds, the setting sun hung over the forest canopy. Chen Mo and Milu were awestruck by the beautiful scenery before them as they scaled Mount Hua.

When it came to Star World’s beautiful and picturesque landscapes, he had seen many already, but Mount Hua still made him comprehend once again the charm of nature.

The sea of clouds was like a mist, endless. When Chen Mo entered Mount Hua, he seemed to have walked into an ancient fairyland. Every moment, he seemed to breathe mystery preserved since ancient times.

The pair walked for a while and stopped to rest under a cliff, admiring the thousands of beautiful peaks. Daji jumped down from Milu’s shoulder and happily frolicked about the mountain, absorbing the essence of the world. After six months, Daji had grown rapidly. Her fur was like snow, and she sprouted a second fluffy tail.

Chen Mo sat crosslegged, cultivating the Divine Soul Nine Turns of Human Immortal.

The greatest characteristic of the so-called Human Immortal that was surpassed Human Sovereign was the possession of a Divine Soul, to cultivate Divine Intent into something material and for the mind to create a soul. Divine Soul Nine Turns was like having a second life. As long as the Divine Soul was not destroyed, a cultivator would have a chance to survive if their physical body sustained significant damage.

After Chen Mo obtained the Black Turtle True Spirit, he possessed a corporeal body powerful enough that even Star Generals would envy him. Corporeal body on the outside, Divine Soul on the inside. If he was able to cultivate his Divine Soul to be even stronger, to be complete inside and outside and have Heaven and Earth as one, then he would practically be a god of war; he could fight evenly against the best Star Generals. However, this type of cultivation was extremely challenging. Among cultivators, even those that reached Lord of Heaven Realm perhaps would still find it difficult to compare with a Star General’s “Star Name.”

After cultivating for a while, Chen Mo’s heart was still as water. Wind blew the leaves, and the clouds rolled. All of a sudden, a girl’s weak scream echoed through the mountains and sea of clouds.

Chen Mo opened his eyes and ended his cultivation. He raised his head to look up the cliff.

The crowded peaks were boundless, the cliffs like swords. Chen Mo used the Deva Eyes and put all of the mountain range into his gaze.

Pushing aside the sea of clouds, he could see a delicate girl currently fleeing for her life in the forest opposite the cliff. Behind her was an enormous tusked boar in pursuit.

At this time, Milu came to Chen Mo’s side. Li Guang’s gaze was like a torch when she caught sight of that scene.

“Milu, wait here for me, I’m going to save her.” Chen Mo could not watch a scene as wretched as a girl getting chased and killed by a wild boar.

Milu grunted.

Chen Mo leapt up and used the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Escape.

“Right now, I have saber techniques and palm techniques. Pity that my escape technique is too lacking.” Although the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Escape was free and easygoing, its speed was not quick at all in the Inner Star Fields. It was completely incongruous with Human Immortal Realm.

Escape techniques were very important abilities for a cultivator. Whether it be fleeing or attacking, an escape technique used when least expected was of vital importance.

Chen Mo scavenged the treasures of those countless cultivators at the Siming Oasis, yet in all the world, there were hardly a few that were suitable for him. Either the ability was incompatible with him, or they were barely passable, such that they were not as good as the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Escape that he had trained in for so long.1

While in his thoughts, Chen Mo already reached the cliff.

That girl’s running technique very fast, just like a quick hare, dodging left and right. The boar pursuing her was honestly immense in size. Its tusks jutted high, and layer of white, rock-like, barbed armor plating covered its back. The animal appeared quite extremely ferocious.

The boar emitted a very fierce Demon Qi, bowling over everything in its way, tearing up and shaking the earth. Countless trees toppled over, and it trampled over innumerable stones.

Chen Mo saw that this boar surprisingly had Demon Qi Four or Five Turns strength.

“So annoying, don’t chase me.” The girl wailed as she ran, endlessly sprinkling some sort of powder from her palms. “I found this first!!”

The boar roared. Its eyes were a complete red. It stamped its leg, and the earth let out a bellow, astonishingly disintegrating.

Ah-ya.

The girl’s figure was unsteady. She stumbled forwards then fell onto the ground. 

The boar suddenly pounced. Just at this moment, Chen Mo charged forth, his fist slamming into the boar’s face like a cannon.

Bang, bang.

Seemingly hearing two thundering metallic clangs, Chen Mo found that his fist surprisingly pounded the iron plates without any effect. What a powerful defense, Chen Mo was taken aback. The swing was infuriated even more by the man who had rushed out. It raised its tusks to stab him.

Chen Mo’s fists became claws that grabbed the boar’s tusks.

The wild boar launched a violent assaults. Its Demon Qi bubbled forth, and magic energy gathered into its tusks. The boar barreled towards him like a tank. The average Divine Soul Five Turns Human Immortal was incapable of withstanding the boar’s vicious charge.

Chen Mo’s veins bulged, and the Black Turtle True Spirit manifested. The Black Turtle’s power was heavy as a mountain, and it was one with the earth. The boar’s Demon Qi could hardly break through it. Chen Mo’s hands seized the boar’s tusks. With a yell, he surprisingly tossed this several thousand catty boar forcefully away.

The girl was so flabbergasted watching that she forgot to stand up.

Just as Chen Mo wanted to question her, all of a sudden, that boar stood up again. It was thoroughly enraged from being smashed around by a cultivator. Its Demon Qi concentrated and emitted a powerful feeling of oppression. The beast surprisingly had Seven or Eight Turns strength. This boar curled up its body, turning into a ball just like a hedgehog. Then, it rolled towards Chen Mo.

The barbs on its back became deadly blades at this time, their cold-light like lightning.

Fuck.

Chen Mo was stunned.

It surprisingly had such an ability.

“Let’s go.” Chen Mo wisely chose to run. Although he could defeat the boar by using Star Energy, the expenditure was too great. There was no need to waste his Star Energy on this.

He finished speaking. Chen Mo lifted his hand and carried the dazed girl away like a cool breeze.

The boar spun itself into a black light, blasting apart everything in its way.

Chen Mo ran to the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, he kicked with the tip of his toes, leaping high into the air. Then, twelve Back Turtle Flying Swords appeared from out of thin air under his feet.2 That boar was caught unprepared, and it suddenly plunged down from the thousand zhang cliff. They could even still hear the boar’s low howls and roars in the sea of clouds. Then, an enormous noise came from the valley below.

“Looks like even that fall couldn’t kill it…” Chen Mo sensed the enraged Demon Qi skyrocketing from the valley below, and he realized that this boar probably was not dead.

“Ah, you perv…ert. Don’t take advantage of me…” All of a sudden, the girl on his chest let out a scream. She used her arms and legs all at once to struggle free. It turned out that Chen Mo’s hand had happened to grab her butt when he lifted her up.

However, Chen Mo was only worried at the time, and he basically did not think that much. The more she struggled, the more she instead made Chen Mo feel the softness of the girl’s body.

“Pervert, hoodlum…scoundrel…shameless…”

Standing on the ground, the girl bashfully threw out every kind of insult.

“…” Chen Mo waited until she finished venting before he smiled and said: “No need to thank me for saving your life.

“Hmph.” The girl wrinkled her nose. “Even if you didn’t save me, I wouldn’t have died.”

“Then I guess it was just me overthinking things.” Chen Mo said. He turned and left.

At this moment, Milu walked over. She was somewhat perplexed by the atmosphere between them. Chen Mo said a few things to her.

“Wait a moment.” The girl suddenly yelled.

Chen Mo paid her no attention, walking up the mountain with Milu.

“Aiya, I told you to wait a moment.” The girl indignantly blocked their way.

“You were calling for me? I don’t want to overthink things again.” Chen Mo answered.

“Why is a man like you so petty.” The girl harrumphed, scrunching up her face.

Only then did Chen Mo notice the girl’s delicate and pretty face. Her eyes were healthy and vigorous, her teeth bright and pure. She wore a green short skirt, and under the skirt were a pair of jade-like legs. A gourd and all kinds of other strange accessories hung from her waist. Her figure could not be said to be extraordinarily beautiful, but she was still very pretty.

Judging from the spirit qi and her refined temperament shown from her eyes, Chen Mo more or less deduced that she should be a Star General.

Mount Hua was an excellent place for Star Generals to cultivate. It was not even that strange for Star Generals to live hidden away in the mountain even if they were unable to join the Mount Hua Sect. However, judging from the fact she had just ran all the way around the mountain chased by a boar with approximately Five Turns strength Demon Qi, in addition to the fact she cried for help, he supposed that she was not a powerful Star General.

“What’re you looking at, never seen a beautiful girl?” Looking at Chen Mo’s line of sight, the girl proudly puffed her chest.

“What is it? I still have other things to do.” Chen Mo said.

“You must want to go to Mount Hua to train under the Sleeping Immortal?” The girl giggled.

“You could tell?”

“Just now, you used brute strength to toss the ‘Barbed Mountain Boar.’ This absolutely is not something a Divine Soul Two or Three Turns Human Immortal can do. You must cultivate Star Energy.” The girl arrogantly said: “Star Warriors that come to Mount Hua to cultivate Star Energy naturally want to visit the Mount Hua Sect and follow the cultivation of Star Generals.”

Chen Mo nodded. Her analysis logical.

“But joining the Mount Hua Sect is very difficult. Want Me to help you. Consider it repayment for you helping me just now.” The girl chuckled.

“You can help me?” Chen Mo was intrigued: “How can you help me?” Chen Mo harbored doubts about whatever method that this Star General, who was unable to handle a boar, had.

“You’re looking down on Me. In any case, I’ve lived in seclusion in Mount Hua for many years. Although I’m not a martial force Star General, I’ve got good relationships with some of Mount Hua’s other Star Generals. We’re all very familiar here.” The girl stuck out her lip. “To enter Mount Hua, you must first find the entrance to Mount Hua. It’s very difficult for the average person to find it, and I can help you.”

“Then many thanks.” Chen Mo also knew that there were many cultivators who came to Mount Hua to apprentice themselves, but those who were able to be successful were far and few between. To get to the heart of the matter, first of all, this Vast Sky Plankway was not so easy to find.

If there was someone who could guide them, that would actually save a lot of time.

“Don’t mention it.” The girl giggled, a bit crafty: “But before I take you there, I want to first go to the north peak to harvest a spirit medicine. Only after I pick it can I guide you.”

How could Chen Mo not realize her little scheme: “I’m guessing the herb you want to pick is very dangerous, so you want to make me accompany you to help you pick it?”

Her plan seen through, the girl’s face turned red. She stubbornly said: “Who said I wanted you to help me pick it. I just felt you maybe could help me save a bit of time…Hmph, besides, to help me, Yingmeng, to harvest medicine is very glorious. I basically would disdain to have the average person do this.”

“Still, you aren’t afraid I’ll just steal the herb you want?” Chen Mo suddenly asked.

“Nope, the spirit medicine I want is very special. Other than me, no one else will be able to refine it.” The girl was very confident.

“Okay, then.”

Chen Mo nodded and agreed. “I’m called Chen Mo. This is Milu.”

“Call me Yingmeng.”3 Yingmeng introduced herself. She looked at Milu, but her gaze was nevertheless drawn to Daji: “Hey, is that a Nine Tailed Demon Fox? This kind of Demon Beast is very rare, yet I’m actually able to see someone who turned one into a pet.”

“But your Nine Tailed Demon Fox seems awfully small. It has some kind of internal sickness, should be an innate disease.4 In a few years…tsk, tsk…” The girl clucked her tongue, a regretful appearance.

Daji curiously stared at her.

“Seriously? You can see what kind of disease Daji has at a glance?” Chen Mo twitched his lips.

“Hmph, you didn’t even take a look at who This Lady is.” Yingmeng complacently said.

“But This Lady won’t tell you…So as to avoid you conspiring against me…” The girl crossed her arms over her mature and full chest.

Chen Mo was speechless.
