Chapter 168: Golden Haired Tiger Roars at Heaven

  The wind is gentle and the clouds are light, the sun rises in the east.

  On a mountain path in the Luoxia Mountains, an old man and a young man were walking slowly, who were exactly Lu Tianye and Mu Feng.

  Due to the rarity of human presence, the mountain path was extremely difficult to navigate, and they also had to be on guard against the venomous insects and ferocious beasts in the dense forest. Although both of their cultivation bases were not weak, their journey was still somewhat slow.

  Mufeng chopped at the thorny branches blocking their path with his Xuanling sword, complaining as he went: "Senior, why didn't we just fly here? At this rate, when will we ever get out of these Luoxia Mountains?"

  "This will help you recover your physical strength and temper your mind. Secondly, practicing the Mystic Void in the Luoxia Mountains will attract some strong practitioners' attention and stir up unnecessary trouble."

  "Senior, with your cultivation so high, who would still dare to look for trouble with you?"

  Lu Tianye said faintly: "The Sacred Profound Continent, the number of strong people is countless. After your vision broadens, you will find that even those in the Divine Ability Realm are nothing special."

  Mo Feng also nodded in agreement, a Divine Realm expert, in the Great Wu Dynasty, there were no more than ten of them, all of whom were renowned and powerful individuals who defied the heavens, but in Lu Tianye's mouth, they weren't even worth mentioning.

  "Do you know why I have been hiding in the Luoxia Mountains for over thirty years?" Lu Tianye suddenly asked.

  Mo Feng suddenly regained his spirit and said, "This junior knows that he has heard rumors about senior's past. Senior couldn't stand the arrogance of a prince from the Huang Clan's martial family, so he killed him. To avoid being pursued by the Huang Clan's martial family, he went into hiding."

  Lu Tianye shook his head and said disdainfully, "A mere Huang Clan Martial Family doesn't have the qualifications to make me fearful. Although the Huang Clan's power is great, I've never feared them before."

  "The reason I've been hiding is because of Ge Pingtian's pursuit."

  "Ge Ping Tian?" Mu Feng's face showed a hint of puzzlement.

  Lu Tianye nodded and said, "That's right, since you're so interested, I'll tell you. Actually, I'm not from the Great Wu Dynasty or the Great Yan Dynasty."

  "What?" Mu Feng was somewhat surprised!

  Lu Tianye didn't notice Mu Feng's astonished expression and continued to say, "The Sacred Profound Continent is vast in area, beyond your imagination. The continent is divided into five major continents: Nanman Zhou, Beiyuan Zhou, Xihuang Zhou, Dongye Zhou, and Zhongji Zhou. Among them, the territory of Zhongji Zhou is the most extensive, with the most dynasties, and the top strongmen on the continent are also in Zhongji Zhou."

  This was the second time Mo Feng heard about the distribution of the five continents. The first time he heard it from Xuan Lingzi, he was still half-believing and half-doubting, but this time when Lu Tianye mentioned it, he already believed in his heart.

  "I come from a high-level dynasty called the Great Ming Dynasty in Zhongji State. Since I was young, I have been an orphan and was taken in by my master. My master is a strong practitioner of the Xianyao realm, and he only took two disciples in his life, Ge Pingtian and me. My master inadvertently obtained a treasure map, which contains the remains of a Martial Saint's legacy. It is said that if one obtains the inheritance of the Martial Saint, there is a great possibility of entering that level as well." Lu Tianye slowly recounted a past event.

  "Invincible Martial Saint!" Murong Feng exclaimed in his heart. In the Sacred Profound Continent, a Martial Saint represented the strongest being on the continent, the ultimate goal of martial cultivation.

  However, this matter was learned by my master's senior fellow apprentice Ge Pingtian. He wanted to enter the Daming Dynasty's Xuan Yin Sect, a large door faction, so he told them about it. The Xuan Yin Sect sent people to rob the treasure map, and Master risked his life to help me escape, but the treasure map was lost. Ge Pingtian thought that I had the treasure map in my hands, so he kept sending people to pursue and kill me.

  Lu Tianye seemed to be immersed in that past event, and when he mentioned his master's desperate protection, a layer of mist appeared in his old eyes.

  "Senior, with your high cultivation level, can't you even defeat Ge Pingtian?" Murong Feng didn't expect that Lu Tianye also had such a deep and profound vendetta.

  "What is the Divine Realm? The Great Wu Dynasty is just a low-level dynasty in the Western Wilderness, and a martial artist of the Divine Realm can already be considered among the top-notch experts. However, in some mid-to-high level dynasties, even a strong Divine Realm cultivator is nothing to write home about. Ge Pingtian is said to have reached the Carefree Realm now, I'm no longer his match."

  Lu Tianye sighed, all these years he had been desperately cultivating, wanting to avenge his master, but unfortunately the gap between him and the other person seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, now he could only swallow his pride and live in hiding.

  "Senior, if junior can attain divine power, I will definitely help senior avenge this deep-seated hatred." Mu Feng finally understood why Lu Tianye so understood his desire for revenge. It turned out that the senior in front of him also carried a deep-seated hatred.

  "Revenge isn't as simple as you think, Ge Pingtian's cultivation is high, but in the Xuan Yin Sect, he's just an ordinary elder. The Xuan Yin Sect has many strong warriors, wanting to avenge..."

  Lu Tianye smiled wryly and didn't continue speaking.

  Mo Feng thought of his own strength in creating a realm, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat disheartened. To say nothing of helping Lu Tianye take revenge, even the Wind Cloud Sect, he was currently powerless to do anything about it.

  Lu Tianye saw Mu Feng's appearance and patted his shoulder, saying: "You should cultivate diligently. With your talent, it won't be difficult to become a strong person. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, hurry up and open the road!"

  The Luoxia mountain range, with towering trees densely packed, blocking out the sky and sun. Mu Feng and Lu Tianye had gradually walked deep into the Luoxia mountain range as they conversed.

  Mo Feng looked around at the dim surroundings, and couldn't help but feel a bit worried. He turned to Lu Tianye beside him and said, "Senior, will we run into high-level demonic beasts walking like this?"

  In the depths of the Luoxia Mountains, it's not just three-stage or four-stage demon beasts that are encountered, even five-stage and six-stage demon beasts are extremely normal. No wonder Mufeng is worried. A fifth-stage demon beast is equivalent to a human strongman in the Divine Realm!

  Lu Tianye's expression was calm and composed as he said, "Don't worry, I have everything under control. You just focus on leading the way."

  Mo Feng was quite helpless, raising the somewhat heavy Xuanling Sword to clear a path in front. Lu Tianye had even stipulated that Mo Feng couldn't use his Xuanli or martial arts while clearing the path, and could only rely on his physical strength.

  Mo Feng knew that Lu Tianye wanted to temper his physical body, but this cultivation method was useful in the Refining Body Realm. Now that he had already reached the Shaping Realm as a strong cultivator, this kind of cultivation seemed to have little use.

  However, Mu Feng did not dare to refute and question, and had no choice but to honestly lead the way in front. Deep in the mountains, there were no signs of human habitation, and thorns and weeds grew wildly, making it particularly laborious for Mu Feng to cut through.

  Just as Mofeng thought of stopping to rest, he heard a rustling sound coming from not far away, and a gust of cold wind blew towards them, blowing on the two people's bodies, making their clothes flutter, and the nearby towering trees also shook violently.

  Mo Feng's keen senses picked up a hint of danger, and he was about to warn Lu Tianye beside him when he saw Lu Tianye's brow furrowed in concern, his face grave.

  "It's strange, how can there be a fifth-grade demon beast appearing here?" Lu Tianye said in a low voice.

  "What's strange is that deep mountains and ancient forests produce monsters, it's abnormal if they don't appear!" Murong Feng muttered to himself.

  Lu Tianye seemed to see Mu Feng's muttering in his heart, and he slapped Mu Feng's back of the head and said: "What are you saying bad things about Lao Fu?"

  Mo Feng didn't know that although the Luoxia mountain range was vast, Lu Tianye had lived in seclusion there for thirty years and often practiced within the mountains, so he already considered the Luoxia mountain range his own backyard.

  Although Lü Tianye also felt danger in the depths of Luoxia Mountain Range and did not delve deeper, the place they were walking now was absolutely within his safe control. However, today, for some unknown reason, an abnormal situation suddenly appeared.

  All that could be heard was a loud roar, the piercing sound came from not far in front of the two people, the intense sound wave almost pierced through the eardrums of the two people, and the airflow brought by the sound wave even blew off all the branches around the two people.

  At this moment, a gigantic golden-haired tiger suddenly appeared dozens of feet in front of them. Its body was three zhang long and about one zhang high, with extremely pure golden fur. The huge tiger eyes stared tightly at the two, its posture tense and ready to pounce, as if it would leap over at any moment.

  The golden-haired tiger appeared extremely ferocious, constantly letting out low growls, and if not for consideration of Lu Tianye's cultivation, it would have probably pounced over already.

  Although this golden-haired demon tiger was not much bigger than the granite leopard, Mu Feng could feel the dangerous aura it emitted, which was no less intense than that of Lu Tianye. If Lu Tianye hadn't dissipated the golden-haired demon tiger's pressure, Mu Feng would probably have been injured by its aura.

  Lu Tianye brought Mu Feng behind him, and a long sword appeared in his hand. The long sword was about three feet long, two fingers wide, with a flowing light flashing on its body, making it look light and agile. However, the sword's aura was overflowing, exceptionally sharp, as if it could pierce through the sky and earth. It was Lu Tianye's famous sword, the Sky-Piercing Sword, a top-grade spiritual treasure of the Mystic Stage.

  Lu Tianye made a defensive stance, whispering softly: "Golden-haired Xiao Tianhu, fifth-stage fierce beast, you'd better be careful, when we fight later, I may not be able to take care of you."

  A fifth-grade demon beast, equivalent to a strong human cultivator in the Divine Realm, and this golden-haired Tianhu Tiger in front of him was apparently in an extremely enraged state, making it difficult to deal with.

  Jin Mao Xiao Tian Hu also sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Lu Tian Ye's body, and for a moment, he didn't dare to make any rash moves.

  Two men and a tiger stood confronting each other like this!

  The sky gradually darkened, and the forest grew increasingly dim.

  Mufeng's heart was tense, his forehead already covered in sweat, and even the palms of his hands were wet with perspiration. Although Mufeng had reached the realm of creation, he was still weak and insignificant compared to a fifth-stage demon beast.

  Lu Tianye's face was solemn, but in his heart he was cursing his luck. He had been training in the Luoxia Mountains for thirty years and rarely encountered a fifth-stage demon beast. This time, he brought this kid in and ran into the Golden-haired Sky Roaring Tiger - what bad luck!

  However, in his heart he was secretly suffering, but his eyes were fixed tightly on the Golden Haired Tianyuan Tiger, not daring to relax in the slightest. The Xuanli in his body poured into the Heaven-Defying Sword in his hand, emitting a sharp aura that sought to use its own prestige to force the Golden Haired Tianyuan Tiger back.
