Chapter 129  Futile Journey

Chapter 129 Futile Journey

The old man with a face full of ravines and the appearance of being old and frail was holding a broom, gently sweeping the fallen leaves on the Mountain that seemed to never be completely swept clean.

Fang Bie walked to his side just like that, carefully observing this Old Man who seemed unremarkable at first, but later successfully reached the Great Emperor Realm.

"Young friend, you seem to have never Cultivated before, would you be willing to enter my Clumsy Peak and become a Disciple of my Clumsy Peak?"

Li Ruoyu and Fang Bie exchanged a glance, unexpectedly taking the initiative to speak.

"Hm?" Fang Bie was stunned for a moment, he hadn't quite reacted yet. This Old Man who looked dull and lifeless actually wanted him to become a Disciple of this Mountain, it was truly somewhat unexpected.

It should be known that in the Original Story, someone as detached as him wouldn't take the initiative to invite someone.

"Martial Uncle hasn't accepted a Disciple in five hundred years, Brother Fang has really come at a good time." Hua Yunfei walked out from inside, and said with a smile.

"If it's just Cultivating, it's still alright, but if it's accepting a Disciple, then let's forget about it." Fang Bie shook his head. If he was merely a Person of this World, having a Sage of this era accept him as a Disciple would of course be something to be eagerly sought after.

However, he was not a Person of this World, and traveling between Worlds was also inconvenient. Perhaps when the Relationship deepened in the future, they could have more communication, but for now, it was best to maintain a Distance.

"Alright, Old Man hasn't accepted a Disciple in a long time either, then you shall Cultivate on my Mountain!" Li Ruoyu nodded, and continued to sweep the Leaves in front of him with faltering steps.

"Today is the day of the Sect Grand Selection, perhaps it is because of this that Martial Uncle had the thought of accepting a Disciple." Hua Yunfei explained.

Originally, he was preparing to continue saying something, when suddenly a stream of light flew towards him, transmitting a wisp of Sound.

"Martial Brother, there is an important Matter at the Main Peak, return quickly!"

He could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Fang, I'll take my leave first. I will wholeheartedly inquire about your Matter for you, please forgive me."

Fang Bie waved his Hand, "I'm just a Passerby, you don't need to be so courteous."

"What are you saying, Brother Fang? Although only you and I know about this Matter, I, Hua Yunfei, am not an ungrateful Person, I will certainly not refuse any request!"

He cupped his fists, and his Body transformed into a stream of light, drifting towards the Distant Place.

Fang Bie was now certain of his view, Hua Yunfei had never been so easy to talk to in the Original Story, and Li Ruoyu, as a Sage, probably wouldn't easily change his thoughts after seeing him.

The fact that both of them were so affectionate towards him and felt so close could probably only be explained by this reason.

It was just like the Feeling that the People of the previous two Worlds had when they saw him, in Tony's words, it was, "The moment I saw you, I felt that you were someone who suited my temperament, at least you shouldn't be an Enemy."

Xiao Yan's answer was even more straightforward, "As the saying goes, those who meet are acquainted, from the first moment I saw you, I felt that we should be Friends."

Fang Bie had previously thought that this was just a pretense after a deep Relationship had been established, but now it seemed that it was not so.

It was as if anyone who had good feelings towards him in their Hearts would automatically shift in this Direction. Fang Bie secretly noted down this Rule.

Where there is effect, there must be cause. Although he hadn't discovered where this phenomenon came from, it was definitely not without reason.

Fang Bie guessed that this Situation was probably also related to the MC World, or else it was related to his Identity, but his Permissions were still too low at present and he was unable to know more about the Situation, so he could only record it and bury it in his Heart.

Fang Bie was even thinking, if this was a Game, he probably had a Buff of Affinity plus five and Trust Value plus ten innately, otherwise there was simply no way to explain this Situation.

While he was thinking about this Problem, the Old Man passed by in front of him again, sweeping the fallen Leaves with his broom, "Little Brat, these past two days are precisely the Time for my Tai Xuan Sect's Grand Selection, if you want to Cultivate under my Sect, it's best to go to the Mountain Gate Entrance for a walk."

Fang Bie nodded his head, "Senior, that is exactly what I intend, I wonder how I should go, and how should I return here?"

"If you don't mind, just call me Old Li." Li Ruoyu said, "Going straight down from the Mountain Gate, is the road to the Great Selection Gate. You walk forward from the Great Selection Doorway, the most desolate Main Peak among the countless Mountain Peaks, the Main Peak that is even smaller than the surrounding Mountain Peaks, is Clumsy Peak."

"Thank you, Old Li, Trouble." Fang Bie nodded his head, he didn't have any Things to pack up, and very lightly stepped down the Mountain.

After walking for a Period of Time, he understood why it was said in the Original Story that the Big Dipper was vast and boundless, and its length could not be counted in thousands of miles.

He walked for a full day, and only just walked out of the Range of the Main Peak, and this Mountain Peak was not even the largest Mountain Peak in the Surroundings, this Main Peak together with all the surrounding Mountain Peaks formed a pattern of 108 Mountain Peaks.

Fang Bie carefully considered it, and finally gave up the idea of leaving here.

A country in the Battle Qi Continent was actually not particularly large, otherwise, with just the two of their foot power before, it would not have been possible to cross that Forest so quickly.

After all, not everyone in that World could fly, so the real Distance was not particularly far, except for a few huge Areas with very long Distances between them, but there were also Teleportation Portals connecting them.

In this World of Shrouding the Heavens, Fang Bie truly felt what it meant to be immeasurably vast and boundless, and the Feeling of lifting his head to look at the Common People.

It was just that he glanced at his short legs, and still resolutely walked back. If he really continued to walk like this, by the Time he walked to the Tai Xuan Mountain Gate Entrance, perhaps the second round of recruitment activities would have already begun.

He roughly estimated it, according to the Old Man's words, this Mountain was considered relatively desolate in this Area, and the Tai Xuan Mountain Gate was at the furthest Cut. Even if the average number in between was only 10 Mountain Peaks, then he would have to walk for at least two months.

This was still because the Mountains surrounding the Main Peak he was in were relatively few, and they were not particularly steep. If there was a larger Mountain, even if he could pave roads when encountering Mountains and build bridges when encountering Water, and walk the straightest Distance, he would probably still waste no small amount of Time.

Fang Bie felt that before he possessed the Ability to fly, it was better to obediently stay in this Area, at least with a Big Shot guarding it, there shouldn't be any risks here.

Thus, he spent another day walking back again, and even on the road, he was somewhat self-deprecatingly thinking, coming to such a magnificent and vast World, he hadn't done anything, and first walked for two days.

However, thinking about it, it was also normal, the Cultivation Path of this World, as long as one stepped onto the third Level of the first stage, which was the so-called Divine Bridge Realm, one could already fly in the Sky.

Unlike a certain Horse-Breaking Sky next door, even Dou Di Stage experts still had to ride Horses to chase Enemies, and could even be smashed to death by an avalanche, truly losing face for Cultivators.

Fang Bie hurriedly returned to this Mountain, and saw Li Ruoyu who was still sitting upright on the Mountain Top, silently closing his eyes to rest.

The Old Man was still the same as his performance two days ago when he had just gone down the Mountain, sitting cross-legged in place with his eyes closed, without any change.
