Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 808 808: A Rare Opportunity
After eating his fill, Lin Yun began contemplating the mystical Flame Saber of the first layer of the Moon Arc Slash Method.
The Moon Arc Slash Ball Device requires condensing all the air and the blade tip within, drawing a curved line in the air, consolidating it into a blade, and then launching it in the form of a moon arc, at an extraordinary speed, difficult to evade.
Lin Yun tried several times initially, but failed.
Previously, Lin Yun compressed the air above the blade tip into a blade. However, he couldn't shoot the blade out in the form of a full moon.
Thus, Lin Yun repeatedly swung his Demon Blood Saber until late into the night, swinging a total of 3,562 times, yet still failing. This inevitably left Lin Yun quite frustrated, but deep inside, his strong desire to become powerful meant that no amount of hardship would deter him.
Lin Yun swung more than 5,000 times until morning, when the blade tip finally condensed into a crescent arc. Lin Yun had a sudden insight, and with one swing of his saber, the shattering sound in the sky, two belches, a single arc, and a burst of power exploded at the limit, sweeping across the ground like a meteor, flying out with a thunderous sound and hitting the eye in front of the cave, carving out a half-meter deep pit.
"Very good." Lin Yun fought back the excitement in his heart. The forceful power can shake the cave half a meter deep, already quite formidable. With such power and meteor-like speed, killing the Snow Ape on Pluto is no longer a difficult task. However, if besieged by a group of Snow Apes, Lin Yun might still be overwhelmed.
Setting aside the magical Blood Blade, Lin Yun stood proudly, with an aura neither weak nor lacking in confidence. This orange-colored title task, Lin Yun was determined to complete.
Outside the cave, it was getting light, though it was still snowing, the ground was already illuminated. Lin Yun slipped on his ice skates and disappeared in front of the cave, heading towards the ice mountain in the northwest direction beyond Heavenly Snow Mountain.
During his journey, Lin Yun occasionally encountered top-tier creatures on Pluto, most of which were Ice Slip, White Cloud Rabbit, and Cedar Mink. Apparently, Lin Yun was their benefactor.
At first, Lin Yun felt strange, but then he realized these weak animals were the ones bullied by Snow Apes before. This time, Lin Yun's renowned prestige, having driven away the Snow Apes, brought peace here. Naturally, these small creatures were friendly towards Lin Yun.
With curiosity and happiness apparent, Lin Yun quickly stepped onto his ice skates. Minutes later, he reached the foot of a mountain and left the units of Heavenly Snow Mountain and the ice mountain behind.
There was a ten-zhang wide river between the ice mountain and Heavenly Snow Mountain. If you wanted to cross the river, you had to rely on a raft. Approaching a big tree from 20 meters away, Lin Yun used his right hand and struck out a moon arc slash. With a loud bang, the tree was easily cut down, failing.
Lin Yun pulled out two crescent arcs, carving out vertical and horizontal boundaries. A one-meter-thick log was soon neatly trimmed down into a simple raft.
Lin Yun walked a few steps, then arrived at the raft, gave it a small push, and the raft floated into the river. Lin Yun jumped onto the raft, and with two palm strokes causing illusionary patterns, the raft headed towards the opposite bank at maximum speed.
When the raft came within five meters of the shore, Lin Yun jumped and guided the raft to the bank.
While sweeping around the ice mountain area, Lin Yun came across a pile of ghost bones belonging to Bison. These ghost bones did not belong to spirits of the ice mountain but were carried over by the wind from other areas.
Lin Yun looked at the towering ice mountain reaching into the clouds. The millennium Poison Dragon Grass was on the ice mountain, and to harvest it, he would have to overcome all the distractions.
The path ahead was filled with thorns. Yun Ruo could not guide him, and flying was only possible for a Zen Master.
Just when Lin Yun was feeling disheartened, a path emerged in front of him.
To avoid disturbing the fierce giant python, Lin Yun decided to sneak around the mountain. From behind, the giant python, after all these years, was only concerned with activities near the Poison Dragon Grass and would not take notice.
At present, this was the best way to bypass to the back of the mountain.
However, when they reached the steep mountain path, Lin Yun had to grab onto vines, slowly spiraling around until he bypassed the distant cliff, for the path behind the mountain didn't lead anywhere, unlike the broken mountain path.
Standing atop the cliff, Lin Yun climbed carefully upwards. Although he had passed through here several times before, safety was his top priority.
On the mountain path, many peculiar stones were adorned with numerous eagle patterns, and at a distance between them lay a giant eagle pattern, with a diameter of approximately.
The three-legged hundred eagles had two feet of their own, and within the creases, they slept soundly.
Lin Yun was drenched in cold sweat, his calves taut. Luckily, it was still early. A hundred Saint Disciples dreamed away; if they hadn't, they would have returned from the mountain otherwise, like an iron weight to Lin Yun.
Or be surrounded by a bunch of cushions.
To avoid spooking the hundred eagles, Lin Yun carefully retreated, knowing that the slightest sound at this point could awaken them.
Lin Yun glanced ahead, recognizing there remained a considerable distance, yet various challenges loomed ahead. Lin Yun proceeded with extreme caution. He calculated every step, striving to the utmost.
Determined not to tread on dead branches or gravel.
After lifting his foot, Lin Yun stood still, daring to take the next step only then. If anyone had been observing Lin Yun, they might have mistaken him for a stealthy thief.
Ah, but Lin Yun's actions this time were just as sneaky, albeit in a different way.
When the road ahead remained shrouded in darkness, amidst the bright daylight mist, it was evident that morning was upon him, and the sun was about to break the horizon. Lin Yun looked at the mist before him.
He glanced at his feet and saw the eagles behind starting to stir their massive bodies. Knowing they were awakening, he was suddenly filled with urgency.
Lin Yun quickly scanned his surroundings in search of a potential escape route. When he noticed a mountain to the west, he suddenly saw a tall man.
In the cave, Lin Yun rushed in and at breakneck speed presented himself at the cavern. Inside, Lin Yun slouched against the wall, slowing his heart rate and steadying his breath.
Afterward, Lin Yun inspected the cave carefully. Just as he took a step, it felt like he had stepped on something hard. Looking down, he chuckled.
However, the snow-sculpted frame was visibly several times smaller than that of a snow sculpture. Lin Yun immediately stopped breathing, puzzled at how a snow sculpture's framework ended up here in this cave?
Overhead, he cautiously studied the cave's ceiling. The wind intermittently swept through, suggesting the cave led to another side.
Was Lin Yun apprehensive fearing that this tunnel might be the thoroughfare of the vicious giant python, straddling the front and back of the mountain?
Lin Yun ventured deeper, discovering the carcass of a snow sculpture. The weather was indeed warm, leading Lin Yun to suspect that the ferocious python still frequented the tunnel.
Traveling back and forth across the mountain, stealthily pilfering snow sculpture birds.
Stealing eggs and birds is customary among snakes, however.
Lin Yun gazed at the cave. How high was it? He simply examined it briefly and gained a full understanding to reclaim it.
Moreover, Lin Yun speculated that the fierce python certainly lurked in the cave to catch the sun. When those old eagles went out to play, it sneakily burrowed into their creases!
The two of them hadn't commented on how swiftly the python approached.
Lin Yun pondered on this, with sweat forming on his forehead. He dared not alarm it, opting to rush towards another cave, hoping to evade the menacing python's wrath.
The first step was leaving this cave.
The cave offered a straightforward route, but upon reaching the rear of the cave, there were eight paths stretching in four directions, confusing Lin Yun immediately, leaving him bewildered by the array of paths.
Which path should Lin Yun choose?
