Chapter 26: Climbing Mount Buzhou and Gaining Enlightenment (2)

  Climbing Mount Zhou: Reflections (Two)

  "The real body doesn't believe it, Pangu the Great God has been dead for so many years, and one of his vertebrae can hardly get to me, this quasi-saint." Shen Long also unleashed a fierce momentum, enlarging the protective aura around himself, continuing to charge towards the mountain top with increasing speed.

  Another 30,000 years rushed to the top of the mountain. At this time, Shen Long was gradually showing signs of exhaustion, although the entire Zhōu Shān was filled with primordial energy everywhere, and the higher up Zhōu Shān went, the more dense the primordial energy became. However, it still couldn't keep up with the consumption of Shen Long's protective aura.

  At this time, Shen Long's protective aura was gradually compressed under the influence of both external and internal forces, but it also became more solid. Shen Long took advantage of the opportunity to transform his aura into a suit of purple-gold armor.

  "It's really tough, but I can still handle it." Shen Long glanced at his armor and said confidently, continuing to move forward.

  Another five thousand years passed, Shen Long continued forward.

  "Pak pak." The Purple Gold Helmet that had accompanied Shen Long for 5,000 years appeared with cracks and was on the verge of being extinguished. In an emergency, Shen Long took out his own treasure.

  "Hummmmmmmmm"

  Only to see the surrounding chaotic yuanqi absorbing force multiplied, the chaotic yuanqi poured into Shen Long's surroundings like a great river, making Shen Long in an ocean composed of chaotic yuanqi.

  The ocean formed by the primordial energy of chaos completely submerged Shen Long, and five powerful whirlpools emerged from the ocean, continuously absorbing the primordial energy of chaos. It was these five whirlpools that stirred up the surrounding primordial energy of chaos.

  When the surrounding chaotic yuanqi ocean was absorbed by the five whirlpools, afterwards, a large tripod appeared around Shen Long, one on each side, which were the four tripods left beside Shen Long. At this time, the four large tripods appeared in front of, behind, to the left and right of Shen Long. The four large tripods themselves had an inexplicable connection, together they offset the pressure around Shen Long.

  A purple-gold ruyi appeared on Shen Long's head, and the purple-gold ruyi emitted a stream of purple-gold light, instantly relieving a lot of pressure from his head.

  "This is much more relaxing, as expected of the Chaos Treasure, the Chaos Cauldron. The efficiency of absorbing the Chaos Origin Energy is unparalleled." Shen Long said with a smile, looking at the four large cauldrons.

  "Hum~~~~~~" The purple gold ruyi on top of his head hummed with a displeased cry.

  "Little guy, your spiritual wisdom is getting clearer and clearer. You're not bad either, otherwise I wouldn't want you by my side all the time." Shen Long raised his head, looking at Zi Jin Ruyi with a smile of praise.

  "Hum~~~~~" The purple gold ruyi seemed to be joyful, and the purple gold light that fell down stuck to Shen Long's face, showing intimacy.

  "Alright, let's hurry up and go." Zijin Ruyi, as Shen Long's companion spirit treasure, naturally sensed the intimacy in his heart.

  In this way, Shen Long advanced another 20,000 years and got closer to the top of the mountain. At this time, Shen Long stopped and looked at the road ahead, muttering to himself:

  "Is it over?"

  Shen Long tried again, taking another step forward, but the Zi Jin Ruyi and the four large tripods suddenly let out a mournful cry, as if this one step would be their demise.

  "Really can't do it?" Shen Long asked again.

  In his tone, there was a strong sense of unwillingness, like a gambler who always thought that the next hand would bring a win, but after countless "next hands", he still lost. Shen Long had been telling himself for over 110,000 years that he would find treasure on the road ahead or reach the top of the mountain after walking for a while longer, but the path ahead was still endless.

  "No, I can still dig, I have potential." Shen Long's face was like that of a madman, because at this moment, he had to go crazy.

  He now regrets coming here, extremely regretful, because he climbed the mountain himself, so he encountered challenges, because of the challenges, so he persisted in climbing the mountain again and again, finally getting deeper and deeper, conquering this great mountain, has become his own obsession, now going down the mountain, then there will be a seed that can never be erased in his heart.

  "Humming"

  A loud and shrill dragon's roar came from Shen Long's mouth, the crazy Shen Long transformed into his true form as the Ancestral Dragon, with a body of billions of miles coiled around the mountain waist. It was indeed a divine dragon that could be seen at first glance but not in its entirety. However, even so, compared to Mount Buzhou, it was just a speck of dust on top of it.

  However, this body of billions of miles can absorb the chaotic yuanqi in a large area, providing itself with law power.

  "Hummmmmmmmmmm"

  As Shen Long transformed into his true form, the four large tripods and the purple golden Ruyi also grew larger. The four large tripods were arranged around Shen Long's four dragon claws, absorbing the primordial energy of chaos for him. Meanwhile, the purple golden Ruyi continued to revolve above Shen Long's head, alleviating the pressure on his head.

  "Haha, I knew it, I still have potential to tap." Feeling the pressure on himself easing off, Shen Long hehe'd with a smile, his voice full of delight.

  "It seems that the true body of the Ancestral Dragon has greater potential, having been human in a past life, I'm still not used to fighting with the Ancestral Dragon's body, it looks like I'll have to practice the combat techniques of the Ancestral Dragon's true body later."

  "So I can keep moving forward again."

  "Rumble~~~~~~Rumble~~~~~~~~~Rumble~~~~Rumble~~~~~~"

  A loud roar, Shen Long transformed into the true body of Zu Long, but due to pressure, it could not fly and could only climb up step by step. The true body of Zu Long was enormous, and with each step, it could span a great distance, but its speed couldn't be too fast, so one loud roar was Shen Long taking another step forward.

  "Humming"

  A dragon's roar echoed from the top of Buzhou Mountain, Shen Long transformed into his true form as the Ancestral Dragon for the first time in ten thousand years. The peak of Buzhou Mountain seemed to have sensed it, but the pressure on Shen Long's body was too great, and he felt that with every step, the pressure he had to bear would increase. The scales on the Ancestral Dragon's body all showed signs of cracking.

  "More than 1.26 million years, almost a unit of time has passed, and finally saw the top of the mountain." Shen Long didn't care about the pressure on his body, but only used the True Dragon's Eye to stare at the top of Mount Buzhou through the misty Chaos Yuan Qi that had condensed into cloud gas.

  "I must go up." Shen Long opened his dragon mouth, sucked in the clouds formed by the surrounding primordial energy, refined and absorbed it, and continued to move forward.

  "Rumble~~~~ Rumble~~~~~~~~"

  Every step he took had to withstand tremendous pressure, Shen Long's dragon claws would smash the ground to relieve the pressure, so every thunderous sound would leave a footprint of a dragon claw on the mountain.

  Another three thousand years, the aura around Shen Long's body had dissipated, and the pillars of the Great Dao appeared around him to resist the pressure from all sides. However, looking at the top of Mount Buzhou, which was within arm's reach, Shen Long felt powerless to continue, and he really couldn't go on. He had thought of everything that could be used to resist the pressure, but it was impossible for him to advance any further.

  "Humming"

  Shen Long let out another dragon's roar. In the midst of the roaring, Shen Long was extremely stifled. Those who had traveled a hundred miles were now only half that distance away from their destination. This final stretch was the most difficult one yet.

  "I don't believe it." With a loud crash, Shen Long took another step forward.

  "Bang bang, crackling." Shen Long's scales shattered, revealing purple-golden blood.

  "Boom~~~~~~" With a further step forward, the dragon's claws sank deep into the mountain body to relieve pressure.

  "Hum~~~~~pa pa." Around Shen Long's Dao Pillars, under this pressure, the surface also cracked, and two Dao Pillars were directly erased.

  "I don't believe it." Shen Long let out another dragon's roar, swallowing countless yuan energy, and continued forward.
