Chapter 750: Chapter 749: Red Flowers on the Snow Mountain

Phoenix Thornton was quite magnanimous and her apology was sincere.

Yusuf Zuck had never intended to pursue the incident of the Crossing the Tribulation. If he had wanted to, he could have used his power to capture Phoenix Thornton and the others at that time. So, he responded to Phoenix Thornton with a friendly smile and said with a fist salute, "Thank you for the trouble!"

Neither he nor Grayson Martin were familiar with the Immortal Mansion, so they were naturally eager to accept Phoenix Thornton’s offer of help.

"Follow me, we only have three days here, so we’ll first go to the second floor to comprehend the Sword Dao. If we can’t comprehend it, then I’ll have to return to the first floor, after all, the first floor is vast and has plenty to offer, so perhaps I can find something good!" Phoenix Thornton said, flying northward.

Yusuf Zuck and Grayson Martin quickly followed. After a short while, they saw darkness at the end of the horizon, a considerable distance away, but it was indeed dark.

"That darkness is the end of the first floor. However, there is a Spacetime Door there. Entering it will take us to the second floor. Unfortunately, I can’t go to the third floor, but Mr. Bryson and Mr. Grayson might be able to," Phoenix Thornton said with a wry smile.

Yusuf Zuck laughed and shook his head. Phoenix Thornton was just at the Golden Core stage, and to enter the third floor, one needed to be at the Nascent Soul cultivation level.

Soon, the three of them reached the end of the first floor, the edge of the darkened sky, and there was indeed a door there.

"There is a killing formation within this door, but it’s not strong. Anyone who has solidified their pill won’t be killed, so we can enter with peace of mind." Phoenix Thornton saluted Yusuf Zuck with a fist and said, "Mr. Bryson, please go ahead."

"Thank you." Yusuf Zuck was very grateful. Phoenix Thornton was very enthusiastic.

The three of them entered the second door one after the other, and at the same time, Yusuf Zuck felt waves of gravitational pressure on his body, a pressure that would crush anyone who had not reached the Solidifying Pill stage.

The passage was not long, only about ten meters, and after passing through smoothly, they entered a Martial Practice Field. Several people were also there, sitting in meditation around a stele.

"Mr. Bryson, Mr. Grayson, let’s part here. With your strength, you can enter the third floor, while I need to comprehend the Stele Sword Way here."

"Right, the entrance to the third floor is outside the rear door of the Martial Practice Field!" Phoenix Thornton said with a smile, "And for the fourth door, you can just go straight north to see it, and the fifth door is inside a huge cave. There’s a passage at the end of that cave."

"Thank you, there’s no rush. This place is beautiful," Yusuf Zuck said appreciatively, while also looking up at the sky.

There were no sun or moon in the sky, but stars were present, very near and enormous, the visual impact of the huge astral bodies was stunning.

"We can’t fly here. No one can fly to the stars, and it’s unknown why there is a starry sky here..." Phoenix Thornton explained.

"Mm." Yusuf Zuck nodded with a smile and then turned to glance at the stele. It was large and bare, emitting a potent spiritual energy. Yusuf Zuck tried probing the stele with Telekinesis, which he could send out, but there was a rebound force inside the stele that repelled his Telekinesis!

Grayson Martin had the same experience. He tried and was also repelled by his Divine Sense.

"Then we will take our leave. Thank you, Miss Thornton, for guiding us." Grayson Martin also found Phoenix Thornton agreeable and thus respectfully bowed to her.

"No need to be polite," Phoenix Thornton said with a nod and a smile.

"By the way, Miss Thornton, if I wanted to leave early, how would I go about it?" Yusuf Zuck was about to leave but suddenly remembered something, so he immediately asked.

"Leave early?" Phoenix Thornton was startled. Bryson Campbell didn’t have a problem, did he? With only three days available, others found it too short, yet he wanted to leave early?

Still, she didn’t ask further and instead thought for a moment, "I heard that when you enter the entrance to the fourth floor, you will encounter a Stone Giant. If you defeat the Stone Giant, you will enter the fourth floor, but if you can’t defeat it, one option is being killed by it, and the other is to jump into a safe area, which will immediately transfer you out."

"Okay, we’ll be leaving now. Thank you." After thanking Phoenix Thornton again with a fist salute, the two strode towards the back of the Martial Practice Field.

The Martial Practice Field had a rear door, which was open, but it was pitch black inside.

"Zayn Reid said that entering here will transfer you to a separate space and then winning against the guardian beast inside is the only way to pass!"

"And if we can’t defeat it?" Grayson Martin asked curiously.

"He didn’t say, but if we can’t win, we’ll probably either die or get transferred out, right?" Yusuf Zuck speculated.

"Haha, we’ve come this far, we might as well have a go at it," Grayson Martin laughed heartily. "I’ll go first."

With a swoosh, Grayson Martin stepped forward into the darkness.

Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and then stepped into the darkness.

Just as he stepped into the darkness, in the blink of an eye, he sensed a fierce gust attacking him from behind his head!

He was startled and had no time to think; he quickly dodged to the side while delivering a Thunder Punch with a roar!

With a howl, a scream rang out, and at the same time, Yusuf Zuck finally saw everything clearly. The howling creature was a furry monster, about the size of a human when it stood up, but its head was indescribable.

At that moment, it was emitting black smoke, its face full of terror, and its body gradually dissipating.

"Phew—" In the instant its body vanished, the scenery before Yusuf Zuck’s eyes changed, and he suddenly found himself high above a forest.

"Did I pass?" Yusuf Zuck’s face showed surprise, but he soon chuckled. His Thunder Punch could indeed kill a cultivator at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and that so-called Spirit Beast just now was probably also of the Nascent Soul Realm.

So, he passed the level with one punch.

This third layer was an endless forest, with mountains and streams in the distance and even grasslands. The whole world seemed very quiet.

"Hmm, I need Spirit Jade!" The main goal for Yusuf Zuck was Spirit Jade, and since this third layer had unearthed Spirit Jade before, he had to collect a lot of it, and therefore, he released his Telekinesis.

"Huh? Can’t release Telekinesis here?" Just as he released his Telekinesis, he suddenly discovered that his Telekinesis was limited to within one meter around his body, and beyond one meter, he couldn’t see anything.

Yusuf Zuck frowned. Without Telekinesis, finding the Spirit Jade would be difficult.

"Still, I have to look. Let’s go check out that mountain." Despite the lack of Telekinesis, Yusuf Zuck was determined to search for the Spirit Jade.

He flew towards the distant mountain, which was a snow-capped peak covered with snow at the top. The melting snow was gradually forming a stream at the foot of the mountain, with crystal clear water.

Yusuf Zuck landed beside the stream, scooped up and drank a mouthful of the clear water. He felt instantly refreshed; the water source here was truly natural and pollution-free.

"Hmm? Someone’s coming?" As he was crouching by the stream drinking water, he suddenly heard the sound of several people swiftly flying through the air. Because he couldn’t use Telekinesis, it wasn’t until they flew closer that Yusuf Zuck noticed them.

And they also spotted Yusuf Zuck.

There were three people, two men and a woman, whom Yusuf Zuck didn’t recognize.

The two men and one woman clearly recognized him, as Bryson Campbell was too famous; even the high-level powers treated him with respect.

However, the trio didn’t seem to want to greet Yusuf Zuck. They just glanced at him quickly and then immediately separated, each heading up the mountain feet hundreds of meters apart.

Yusuf Zuck grew very curious—were they also here for Spirit Jade?

"Hey, fellow Daoists, what are you searching for on the mountain?" he asked loudly.

"Responding to Daoist Campbell, we are just here to look around; we’re not planning to search for anything in particular!" The woman said with a forced smile on her face.

Yusuf Zuck’s mouth twitched. Just looking around? Not searching for anything? She must be kidding him.

"Hmm, if you’re searching, then I’ll search too," Yusuf Zuck huffed, then followed the stream upwards.

He believed that the melting ice and snow forming the stream would surely wash down the mountainside, so if he wanted to find Spirit Jade, following the stream upward would probably increase his chances.

However, just as he had walked less than a hundred meters, suddenly, the woman and one of the men from either direction flew quickly towards a spot a few dozen meters ahead of him.

Yusuf Zuck looked up in that direction and then saw a flower as red as a rose, set off by several green leaves, very beautiful and strikingly gorgeous against the snowy background. Moreover, the flower had an air of festivity, for plants that bloomed on snow mountains always brought people a sense of joy.

"So, you were looking for this flower? But it’s mine now!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily and took a step forward, immediately reaching the side of the red flower, and plucked it up by its root!

Although he couldn’t use Mind Shuttle, his own jumping speed was still much faster than that of the average Nascent Soul cultivator.

The woman and man stopped abruptly two meters away, their faces tense and dark, watching Yusuf Zuck and the red flower in his hand!
