Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Sloping Spiritual Medicine Garden
An hour had swiftly passed, and the dense fog showed no sign of dissipating.
At that moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly had a terrifying thought—he might have been swept into the “Death Treasure Land.”
Instantly, he broke out in a cold sweat.
The sunny side and the shaded side of Heavenly Pillar Mountain were completely different worlds.
Heavenly Pillar Mountain was so tall and vast that the sunshine could never reach its shaded side. This caused the shaded side of Heavenly Pillar Mountain to be constantly enveloped in thick fog, hidden from the sun year-round. The brightness during the day was extremely low; even at noon, one couldn’t see a few yards ahead, and at night it was pitch black, not even allowing one to see their own hand.
For this reason, vast unexplored “Barbaric Territories” existed on the shaded side of Heavenly Pillar Mountain. It was a paradise for Spiritual Medicines, Spirit Plants, demon beasts, and fierce beasts but also the final resting place for countless medicine collectors.
Mysterious and unknown, it was extremely dangerous yet contained countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
“Death Treasure Land” was the term countless medicine collectors used to jokingly refer to the shaded side of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, fully expressing their complex feelings of both love and fear towards it.
The area Zhao Sheng found himself in was undoubtedly in some unknown corner of the shaded side of Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
After escaping the peril, unknowingly, Zhao Sheng had climbed several hundred yards up the mountain face. Along the way, there were many hazardous spots, not to mention poisonous creatures and fierce beasts. As he climbed higher, the air became thinner, and the temperature dropped unusually quickly. Ice formed everywhere on the mountain face, its surface wet and slippery. A single misstep could send him plummeting into the Cloud Sea, his life out of his own hands.
With great effort, he found a small crevice to rest and catch his breath.
The cold here was bone-chilling, quite reminiscent of winter.
However, for Zhao Sheng, the most difficult part wasn’t the temperature, but the feeling of fear.
The most useful senses for humans are sight and hearing, with most external information being gathered by these two senses.
The thick, heavy fog “sealed” Zhao Sheng’s eyes and ears, and the world became eerily “silent.” A little further away, and he could neither hear nor see anything clearly.
Deprived of the senses of sight and hearing, and well aware of being in an extremely dangerous place, most people would instinctively feel fear, and Zhao Sheng was no exception.
He was even more aware that the nights here were far busier than the days, with the number of fierce beasts roaming the Cloud Sea at least fifty percent greater than on the sunny side. Moreover, some enormous creatures roamed the higher and deeper parts of the Cloud Sea, their mere presence exerting a pressure that could make him, a mere mortal, hold his breath.
In fact, Zhao Sheng had already consciously entered the Fetal Breathing State, and his superpower, the Spirit Nose, was operating at full capacity, constantly sniffing out the dangers lurking in the fog.
Because the shaded side world was more dangerous, bloodier, and more elusive. The fierce beasts were always roaming about, seemingly
This is because Purple Qi Mushrooms that are over a thousand years old have developed spirituality and naturally possess the characteristics of “becoming mist when encountering clouds, burrowing when encountering soil, and merging with wood”.
