Light Cultivation
Eps. 177 — Sky Mountain
Jian Chen returned to the boat with blood filling his clothes. He had successfully sent the former pirates to the afterlife.
The arrival of Jian Chen made the Shipowner nervous mixed with fear, he began to realize Jian Chen was more dangerous than the pirates themselves.
While the thirty people who had previously wanted to attack Jian Chen were speechless looking down, they were extremely lucky that Jian Chen had forgiven him. Those who saw him agreed Jian Chen was a figure they should not offend.
Only the five Lan brothers still looked ordinary, to them Jian Chen's actions now looked ordinary compared to when slaughtering the Demon Tower Organization before.
Lan Qiaoqiao walked slowly closer to Jian Chen and began to wash away the blood on her face.
"Thank you..." Jian Chen smiled gently, stroking the head of the girl.
Lan Qiaoqiao did not reply and just nodded slowly, the action between the two in the room was still shadowed in Qiaoqiao's memories, she was still ashamed to look at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen then turned his head to the river that was still frozen, he swung his hand as the ice slowly turned into blue powder that flew into the air.
The surface of the ice disappeared followed by the water conditions as before. The cold temperature around him also warmed.
Everyone on the ship who saw Jian Chen's action was instantly stunned with their mouths open, the reaction of the five twin girls was no less different even though they had expected it from the start.
'This Jian Brother, how great his strength really is...' Lan Xiaxia was amazed, until now he was still unable to measure the limits of Jian Chen's strength.
"Now the pirates are gone, tell the others to have their ship re-operated. One more thing, those three pirate ships might still be usable, only you have to clean them first..."
The ship owner nodded and thanked him, even so he did not look happy even though Jian Chen presented the large ship to him, of course he did not dare to express such displeasure in front of Jian Chen directly.
Jian Chen returned to the room to change his blood-soaked clothes, he also cleared his body of the death aura that was formed again after using the asura sword.
Jian Chen's death aura bit by bit began to increase in his concentration, the more Jian Chen killed with the asura sword then the more it accumulated that aura.

Towards the afternoon Jian Chen's ship finally pulled over on the side of the river as well as the place where Jian Chen had to descend there. The owner of the ship as well as his attendants instantly took out six horses Jian Chen.
Jian Chen and his five twin girls bailed to the Shipowner before spurring on his horse.
"Seems like they are very afraid of you Brother Jian?"
Lan Lingling looked displeased as both the ship's owner and the other passengers looked at Jian Chen like they were seeing a ghost. For the girl they should have been happy that Jian Chen had saved her life.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, he said their reaction should be normal. It was not like the five who looked ordinary when they found out that the young man with him was a cold-blooded person.
"Eh? Why are we wrong?" Lan Lingling put on a pouting face.
"Like this, what was your reaction when I killed the pirates one by one?"
Lan Lingling touched her lips with a finger, looking thought hard. "Hm, there's no... We're used to seeing that."
Jian Chen scratched his head and chose not to talk about it any further, of course they were used to it because the five of them were trained as assassins, corpses were probably a common thing they saw every day.
Jian Chen also looked at it, the mountain was quite visible within a radius of several kilometers.
"I almost forgot the existence of this Sky Mountain is near here..."
The mountain they all saw was named Sky Mountain, which was the highest mountain in the Wind Dragon Province.
Called Sky Mountain because the height of the mountain was like piercing through the sky, there was no visible peak from the plain because at the end of the mountain there was some kind of cloud covering it.
Jian Chen knew the sky mountain because in his first life he had been to that mountain.
Sky Mountain is a sacred mountain and considered dangerous by the surrounding residents, until now no one has managed to return after approaching the mountain no matter how swordsman.
The fog or clouds that are around the Sky Mountain as a protector that can mislead who dares to climb it. The Sky Realm warrior who could fly though still never returned after trying to pry the mystery on the mountain.
It used to be possible for Jian Chen to be afraid if he wanted to go there but in this second life he was curious about what was on it mainly because he had the eyes of a sky god who could see all the mysteries that were occult.
"Didn't you travel to find a place where there are hidden treasures or things?" Jian Chen suddenly stopped his horse's footsteps, asking the five twin girls.
"Right Brother Jian, did you find a secret place again?"
Jian Chen scratched his cheek. "I can't call the place ancient but I can feel that on the mountain we see there are precious treasures inside."
Jian Chen then activated his sky eyes in front of the five twin girls, making them startled as one of Jian Chen's eyes had now turned into a luminous silver color.
"This technique of my eyes can see all forms of formation seals including when I entered the ancient tomb, because it is these eyes that I can safely enter..."
Jian Chen said that the clouds above the Sky Mountain were a protective formation.
If there is a protective formation, indicating that there has been a maker, more clearly the maker made a formation to protect something that is behind it whether it is a valuable item or treasure.
The five Lan brothers then looked at that Sky Mountain but found nothing even though their eyes could also see a formation although not as strong as Jian Chen's eyes.
"I'm not forcing you to believe or to follow but I'll stop by the mountain first..." Jian Chen was quite confident he would succeed in climbing the Sky Mountain like he had managed to trace the ancient tomb.
Jian Chen let the five of them discuss for some time until Lan Qiaoqiao said she would go with him.
"Then we will turn and go to the mountain, near the foot of the Sky Mountain there will be a small town, we can spend the night there."
Lan Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows. "Brother Jian, have you ever been there?"
"You could say that, I've lived in that city for about a year, so you could say I knew him quite well..."
Lan Qiaoqiao seemed to not understand Jian Chen's words, she had heard that Jian Chen was from a neighboring province and had only come here a few weeks ago.
Of course Lan Qiaoqiao did not know that Jian Chen meant he had lived there in his first life.
