Chapter 1401: The Commencement of the Alliance Chiefship Elections
Qingfeng Li gasped at Fengwu Cao’s words. He didn’t expect for the young woman to have received the Immortal Crane’s Inheritance.
Qingfeng Li had practiced immortal martial techniques himself, so naturally he was familiar with the greatness of an Immortal Inheritance.
Qingfeng Li wasn’t looking at the White Crane Fairy anymore, but the latter had noticed him.
She glanced towards Qingfeng Li with her pretty eyes, sensing his immortal energy. Although it was weak from Qingfeng Li’s deliberate concealment, the White Crane Fairy still discovered a trace. She had, after all, received the Immortal Crane Inheritance from the White Crane Immortal.
The White Crane Fairy glanced at Qingfeng Li and quickly looked away, without further regard, as many other supreme masters were standing in front of her.
Qixuan Zhenren stood up and said, "White Crane Fairy, welcome!"
Although the White Crane Fairy was only a pretty woman in her 20s, her possession of the Immortal Crane Inheritance rendered her impressive, earning the respect of even the Qixuan Zhenren.
"Qixuan Zhenren, all the self-cultivators in Huaxia have arrived. Could we begin the Chiefship elections?"
Jianhuang Zhao was very interested in the Huaxia Alliance’s chief elections. He very much hoped to get the position.
Not only was Jianhuang Zhao impatient, Binghuang Dao, Yihuang Shou, and the other self-cultivators began to urge the Qixuan Zhenren as well, hoping he would commence the elections.
The Qixuan Zhenren smiled and said, "Alright, there are two hosts for this election. One is Fengwu Cao, and the other is me."
Old Monster Lishui looked at Qixuan Zhenren and said, "Old brother, hurry up and announce the rules. So many people are waiting."
Qixuan Zhenren laughed and said, "The rules are simple. Whoever obtains the Chief Badge becomes the Chief of the self-cultivation world."
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and asked, "Qixuan Zhenren, where is the Chief Badge? How do we find it?"
Qixuan Zhenren looked at Qingfeng Li and said, "The Chief Badge is somewhere within Dragon-Tiger Mountain. Its exact location is only known to Fengwu Cao and I. We cannot tell you because you must find it yourself."
At the sound of the Qixuan Zhenren’s words, Qingfeng Li and the other surrounding self-cultivators all looked speechless. After all the waiting they had to endure, the rules to the election were as simple as obtaining a Chief Badge?!
Qixuan Zhenren gazed at their unimpressed expressions and sighed. Unlike the other self-cultivators, he knew the difficulties of finding the Chief Badge.
Qixuan Zhenren furrowed his brows and said, "I have a reminder for everyone. There are countless dangers within Dragon-Tiger Mountain, including evil beasts, ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, soul remnants of the ancient era, and many more."
Qixuan Zhenren’s warning startled the crowd.
They had heard about the dangers of the Dragon-Tiger Mountain before. The mountain was home to many ancient ferocious beasts, and only a few self-cultivators had entered the mountain. This time, everyone was here just for the Chiefship elections.
The Qixuan Zhenren laughed and said, "You can divide yourselves into groups. It will be safer for you that way. The Chief Badge is hidden within the depth of this mountain. The one who manages to find it becomes the new Chief of the self-cultivation world. The deadline is in two days."
"Old brother, since your announcement is made, I’ll be entering the Dragon-Tiger Mountain now." With a slight smile, Old Monster Lishui waved towards Qixuan Zhenren as he launched himself into mid-air, transforming into a gush of water, and rushing into the Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
Immediately after the departure of Lishui, the Fate Elder sprung into action as well, launching himself into the air and dashing into the Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
Following them, the White Crane Fairy, Jianhuang Zhao, Binghuang Dao, Yihuang Shou, and the others all entered the Dragon-Tiger Mountain as well.
Everyone wanted to seize the opportunity, thinking that the first to enter the mountain was going to find the Chief Badge, and obtain access to the most precious cultivation resources in Huaxia.
Qingfeng Li turned towards Black Puppy and said, "Let’s go in too."
Black Puppy nodded as it headed towards the Dragon-Tiger Mountain along with Qingfeng Li, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the others.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain was one of the longest-spanning mountains in Huaxia. Along with the Kunlun Mountain, the Sky Mountain, the Indestructible Mountain and the Eastern Sea Dragon Mountain, it was named as one of the ancestral mountains of Huaxia.
During the time of the ancient continents, the Godly Dragon and the Godly Tiger both roamed the area, coloring the earth with their blood, leaving behind their souls.
All major self-cultivation wars, regardless of civilizations and planets, were fought with the Dragon-Tiger Mountain as the central battleground. The area contained the souls and bones of countless saints, immortals, and powerful self-cultivators.
The ferocious beasts indigenous to the Dragon-Tiger Mountain were also stupidly powerful, with many transformed through mutation.
Qixuan Zhenren chose to set the Chiefship elections at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain specifically for its dangerous environment. He wanted to find a truly formidable talent, a master who could overcome all the difficulties of the Dragon-Tiger Mountain, defeat all the other self-cultivators, and prove themselves worthy to lead Huaxia into battle with the western self-cultivators.
Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake sprinted fast, entering the Dragon-Tiger Mountain almost instantly.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain was incredibly majestic, with its left side being a sky-high dragon mountain, and its right side an enormous white tiger mountain.
The mountains stretched for thousands of kilometers, with its peaks and troughs weaving across the sky. Some of its mountaintops surpassed the clouds, with its highest point wholly buried within the mist of the heavens, and its bottom entirely made of massive rocks.
There were also many ancient trees in the mountain, each reaching hundreds of meters in height. These ancient trees had survived for hundreds of thousands of years and were covered entirely by endless vines, thorns, flowers, and other plants.
Growls, howls, hisses...
As soon as he entered Dragon-Tiger Mountain, Qingfeng Li could hear the roars and howls of countless demonic beasts. Their ferocious voices were deafening, powerful as could be, resonating giant soundwave attacks throughout the air.
Qingfeng Li also felt extremely oppressed by the atmosphere ever since he stepped into the Dragon-Tiger Mountain. There was also a faint smell of blood, left behind by the ancient saints who had passed away. Some of their blood hadn’t even dried up yet.
Black Puppy spoke out just then, "Qingfeng Li, be careful. Many dangers are lurking within the Dragon-Tiger Mountain. Of course, there are also many hidden opportunities here. There is an abundance of elixirs, spiritual treasures, and martial technique books for you to find."
