When Wu Yu was on the Clear Sky of Shushan, the highest he ever reached was just slightly above the waist of the mountain .
The Shushan Immortal Domain at the peak of the mountain was once his dream . However, he did not get to fulfill this dream due to Nangong Wei .
On this creepy mountain of lightning, anywhere above the waist of the mountain was foreign to him .
With his speed, it was natural that he was leading the pack . He had already left those geniuses of the Jambu Realm in the dust .
Turning back to catch a glimpse, he could no longer see anyone else . All he saw was some Ravaging Lightning Serpents who refused to give up and continued chasing him .
"The higher I get, the greater the number of purple lightning bolts . Even those Ravaging Lightning Serpents are getting plentiful . "
At this point, densely packed lightning bolts filled the region above his head . The Ravaging Lightning Serpents watched balefully and were mixed within the lightning . When the opportunity arose, they would charge towards Wu Yu .
On the ground, the lightning bolts that scampered across the rocks, earth and air were also increasing .
Lifting his head, Wu Yu could see that he was really close to the top .
Wu Yu had long understood that the peak of the Clear Sky of Shushan couldn't reach the immortals and sky palaces in the heavens . It was the same case for the mountain peak here .
However, those palaces shrouded in lightning on the mountain peak were constructed from gold and jade in equal glorious splendor . Nonetheless, they felt a little like the immortal palaces in the sky .
One could vaguely tell that those palaces seemed to be divided into four huge clusters and were distributed around the tallest four mountains in the vicinity .
Those were also the tallest points locally .
Where Wu Yu was, he could smell the aroma of immortal essences . The aroma filled the atmosphere and shrouded the entire peak . One could only say that there were too many immortal essences .
"Immortal essences are growing in the palaces?"
His curiosity grew stronger as he continued moving upwards cautiously .
Although he had slowed down, it was impossible for others to catch him . When he looked down now, he couldn't see any figures at all .
Previously, Prince Feng and Qingwu Yunsi were still pursuing him . However, they had disappeared from sight by now .
Nonetheless, Wu Yu had fully remembered the threats made by them . Regarding this matter, all he could say was that this wasn't the end .
The more he moved up, the clearer he could see . The highest points of this huge peak weren't just the four tallest mountains . There were likely more than seven of them in total . Among which, the one in the center was the tallest and reached directly into the skies . This was probably the main peak of this huge mountain .
Around it, there were six other sharp mountains that extended out from this giant peak . Looking from afar, it looked just like seven different swords were buried on this huge peak .
Among which, four of these had palaces on them . The other three were bare and entirely pitch black .
Nonetheless, the seven tallest peaks were all shrouded in the lightning web and were completely sealed off . One could only walk to the bottom of them and continue their climb upwards rather than flying to the top directly .
After taking a glance at the four mountains with palaces, he headed to the center of these four mountains . From this location, he could choose which mountain he would like to climb .
The peak amongst the peaks!
It was just like seven huge lightning swords sticking out of the ground!
Currently, he had reached the tip of the huge peak . His vision could reach beyond the densely packed lightning and vaguely identify those palaces . Although they were gold and jade in glorious splendor, numerous in number, and mostly intact, one could still see signs of age .
They were extremely magnificent and majestic .
At this place, the aroma of immortal essences were even stronger . If an ordinary human were to smell this dense aroma, he could even extend his longevity .
"A mystical and unbelievable land . Definitely an uncommon sight!"
The Taigu Immortal Path was indeed a place where they could be transported to all kinds of places .
He advanced through the mountain rapidly and avoided numerous pursuing Ravaging Lightning Serpents .
"With so many Ravaging Lightning Serpents, there are definitely not many people who can reach this place . "
When Wu Yu approached the top of these peaks, he used his Eyes of Fire and Gold and suddenly saw steps leading towards the top for these seven mountains .
Among which, the four mountains with palaces had stairs that were entirely white . They were stunning and easily identifiable . There was also little lightning surrounding it . If one were to ascend these steps, they should be able to reach the palaces at the very top .
The truth was, the surrounding lightning net was extremely low, close to touching the ground . When he arrived at this place, Wu Yu finally understood that only the steps could possibly allow one to reach those palaces .
The steps to the four mountains with palaces started from the center point of the seven mountains . Clearly, one could choose to climb any of these four mountains from this location .
Without further ado, Wu Yu accelerated to the center . As he approached, he spotted an elevated, white jade platform that spanned several hundred zhang on the black and barren mountain . It appeared to be a training field or platform . It was shimmering, emitted warm light, clear, and without any flaws . Above the white jade platform, there were almost no lightning bolts or Ravaging Lightning Serpents . That seemed to be the only safe place .
The crucial thing was that the lower steps of those four mountains were connected to the north, south, east, and west of the white jade platform respectively .
The Taigu Immortal Path was creepy but had its patterns . For example, Wu Yu had gotten his hands on the Floating Dreams Pagoda because he had broken the rules .
Clearly, anyone who wished to explore the four clusters of palaces within the mountain of lightning would have to go through the white jade platform . There might be further trials as one proceeded up the steps .
However, Wu Yu wasn't afraid of the Ravaging Lightning Serpents . He had not obtained several treasures for naught . In the worst case, he could just crush his Taigu Immortal Talisman and return to the divine continent .
He had been away from home for a long time . It was especially so considering he had spent a long time within the Floating Dreams Pagoda . Now, he was missing home a little .
Therefore, when he arrived at the white jade platform, he charged in without a moment of hesitation . He didn't seem to feel any resistance, so he stood on the white jade platform easily . This was like the only sacred spot on the entire mountain of lightning . There wasn't any lightning ravaging around at all .
He flew up slightly and looked around him . The first thing he spotted was the few huge words engraved in the middle of this white jade platform . The words were "Immortals’ Viewing Platform . "
It was probably the name of this white jade platform! At this time, Wu Yu felt a pang of frustration . He had never been to the highest point of the Shushan Immortal Domain and wasn't sure about what was in that place . Shushan had various spirit designs to mask one's vision . However, he vaguely remembered hearing that there was also an Immortals’ Viewing Platform . Was that the place where the Sword Immortals of Shushan looked towards the sky palaces?
"Immortals’ Viewing Platform . . . Immortals’ Viewing Platform . . . "
He looked around, feeling a little lost and bottled up . Could this place really be connected to the Clear Sky of Shushan? However, this was the Taigu Immortal Path . . . .
Indeed, the mysteries of the Taigu Immortal Path weren't easy to decipher . "
"There's another point . There are seven mountains here and Shushan has typically allocated seven Sword Immortal positions . I think I once heard that the Seven Immortals of Shushan each occupied one of the peaks of the mountains . Therefore, could it be that this mountain is truly identical to the Clear Sky of Shushan?"
He only felt that this was strange .
However, he wasn't able to decipher this mystery . Therefore, he just left these questions within his heart .
He instantly noticed the starting points of the steps . The four directions of this Immortals’ Viewing Platform would each lead to one of the four mountains .
The truth was, there were steps connecting to all seven mountains . It was just that the steps of the other three mountains were piled-up rocks . They looked a little dilapidated and couldn't be compared with the four sets of white jade steps .
Those three were also barren and pitch-black, with nothing on them .
Wu Yu wanted to climb these four mountains as quickly as he could . However, he was faced with a tough issue . Roughly 100 steps up the four sets of steps, there were huge piles of Ravaging Lightning Serpents, probably more than 1,000 in each pile . Those Ravaging Lightning Serpents were watching him balefully and their eyes seemed to be warning Wu Yu . However, they didn't charge towards him . They appeared to be just warning him against approaching them . Otherwise, they would go off on him .
The other three sets of stairs didn't have any Ravaging Lightning Serpents . However, the mountain peaks were barren .
"The steps are the only channel to go up . Yet there are so many Ravaging Lightning Serpents gathered ahead . Who could possibly make it through?"
This gave Wu Yu a huge headache .
He was clear that those who wished to challenge the Ravaging Lightning Serpents on those four sets of steps would have to pay the price with their lives . At the very least, they would risk severe injuries .
This made him hesitate a little . The Ravaging Lightning Serpents were still really frightening . If he risked his life here and came out on the short end of the stick, it wouldn't be worth it .
As for the other three sets of steps, although the mountain peaks looked barren, Wu Yu was starting to feel a little interested .
"When others reach this place, they will definitely head towards these four mountains . As such, why don't I take this time to take a look at those three mountains?"
At the thought of this, he acted immediately . He released his greatest speed and charged towards one of the sets of steps . Just as he was about to take the first step on the stairs, Wu Yu suddenly felt a sense of danger . When he got closer, it was then that he realized that although the other three sets of steps had no Ravaging Lightning Serpents, they each had a formless barrier .
He had almost crashed into a wall!
Luckily, he had stopped in time .
He retrieved his Violent Dragon Pillar of the Vast Ocean, paused before the steps, and smashed a heavy blow . Indeed, there existed an invisible barrier .
Boom!
The Violent Dragon Pillar of the Vast Ocean was knocked back . What Wu Yu felt was a strong repulsive force . This counterforce was sufficient to make him lose his grip over the Violent Dragon Pillar of the Vast Ocean . Even with his mind-boggling physical body, he still felt both of his arms going numb .
This made him realize that it was impossible for him to break this barrier .
However, this wasn't the scariest thing .
What was scary was that when he hit the barrier, the real scale of the barrier showed before his eyes in an instant .
The invisible barrier was like the surface of a lake . When Wu Yu hit one spot, ripples were sent throughout the entire barrier .
Following the ripples, Wu Yu could clearly see how wide this "surface of the lake" was .
He saw that the entire Immortals’ Viewing Platform was completely surrounded by a hemispherical barrier!
The interior of the Immortals’s Viewing Platform was completely sealed .
With the exception of four directions . These were the steps leading to the four mountains with palaces . Although there wasn't a barrier, those places were filled with Ravaging Lightning Serpents!
"In other words, there's a spirit design here . The spirit design forms a barrier that only allows one to enter and not exit . Once a person enters this place, he can only charge through these Ravaging Lightning Serpents and head upwards . There are no paths of retreat!"
Wu Yu instantly noticed the thorny issue .
However, there's no other option . With his level, it was extremely hard for him to tell that this place was a one way path before he stepped into the Immortals Viewing Platform .
He tried it out on various directions and even used his advanced dao treasure to attack . However, the barrier formed from the spirit design was truly impregnable . No matter how much strength he used, it didn't look to weaken or loosen .
