Chapter 1040 Immortal Mountain?

"Can we contact him?" Han Bingling hurriedly asked.

Hongyue shook her head. "No. From the look of it, his soul has been injured deeply. It would take a long time to recover… If it wasn't for the White Tiger God Soul in his body, he would have become a complete cripple by now."

Han Bingling and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. They glanced at Linlin, who was lying on the sofa, looking at the projection attentively, and were grateful for her.

"Practice well. You have already seen how powerful his enemies are. Your current strength is not enough to challenge them." Hongyue said. "I'll let Lauya prescribe some pills to aid your training later."

Yun Qianxue nodded slightly and went out, followed by Han Bingling and Mu Qiuxue.

As the three left, Hongyue's expression turned solemn. What she had just shown them earlier was made up by her in order to stabilize their minds.

In fact, Yun Lintian couldn't possibly project the scenery outside yet. And his injury was more severe than everyone thought. Hongyue had to admit that she had no idea what extent his injury was.

"The fact that this place is stable like this has proven His Majesty's life is safe. He needs time to recover." Lauya said softly.

Hongyue frowned deeply and said nothing. There was nothing wrong with Lauya's statement, but she couldn't help worrying.

"Besides, the place he went in isn't ordinary. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that famous Heavenly Cloud Immortal Mountain." Lauya said further.

Hongyue's expression changed slightly when she heard this. Obviously, she had heard about the Heavenly Cloud Immortal Mountain before.

"Are you sure?" Hongyue asked in doubt.

Lauya shook her head. "I can't be sure, but its aura has been recorded within the Tree of Life. And this mountain range's aura is very similar to the record."

"Why did it appear here?" Hongyue was puzzled. If it was truly the immortal mountain in the legend, it should have nothing to do with this world and the previous Beyond Heaven King.

Lauya had no idea as well. She was the second generation Tree of Life's spirit, after all. She had never encountered the immortal mountain by herself.

"This is not a bad thing. If he can take over this immortal mountain, he doesn't have to be afraid of those greedy bastards from the Divine Realm when the time comes." Hongyue's brows relaxed.

Lauya said nothing in response. She also held the same opinion as Hongyue and was looking forward to seeing it.

***

Another week passed by. Yun Lintian's injury was getting much better compared to the last week. He could walk and run without having his wounds fractured anymore. However, he still needed to refrain from exerting too much strength.

At this moment, he was teaching a lot of children archery. Before Yun Lintian could awake the Beyond Heaven King's inheritance, he always relied on his archery for hunting and fighting. Hence, his skills could be considered top-notch.

"Relax your mind and follow your heart when you release it." Yun Lintian helped some children correct their postures while teaching them. "Strength is important, but the control of your heart and mind is more crucial. Without it, you won't be able to hit the target, no matter how many times you try."

He swept his gaze over the children, who were aiming at dummy targets fifty meters away, and said. "Shoot it when you are ready."

Swoosh!

Many children quickly let loose the arrows as Yun Lintian's voice fell. However, none of them managed to hit the targets in the end. It was because they were in a hurry to shoot, wanting to compete for the first rank.

Meanwhile, Yun Niu closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her whole body seemed to relax at once. Her shoulders weren't stiff like before, including her aiming posture.

A moment later, she breathed out and let the arrow loose. The arrow shot toward the target steadily before hitting the bull-eyes. It was a perfect score.

Yun Niu jumped up happily and said to Yun Lintian. "How is it, Big Brother Yun? I didn't lose your face, right?"

Yun Lintian chuckled and rubbed her head. "Very good. I will reward you with a delicious meal later. You can tell me what you want to eat."

"Yay! I want braised pork." Yun Niu smiled sweetly.

"Sure." Yun Lintian nodded and went to correct the other children's posture, letting them try it again.

At this moment, a sturdy middle-aged man walked into the training grounds and looked at the scene in satisfaction. He wore soft leather armor, but it couldn't hide his bulky muscles. His eyes were sharp like an eagle's, and his entire body exuded a powerful aura.

When Yun Lintian saw this, he smiled and greeted him. "You're back, Uncle Hei."

The middle-aged man, Yun Hei, nodded and said. "Thank you for your hardworking. Your technique is much better than ours. In the future, these children will definitely become an elite sharpshooters."

Yun Lintian chuckled. "Just an elite one? I think they will become the most frightening sharpshooters in history."

"Hahaha! I like your boast." Yun Hei laughed heartily.

Yun Lintian smiled and changed the topic. "Again?"

Yun Hei nodded and let out a sigh. "This time, it's a silver wolf pack. Thankfully, we have laid traps in advance. Otherwise, we would have a hard time dealing with them."

He paused for a moment and said worriedly. "I'm afraid more and more powerful beats will come in the near future."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. Yun Hei was the best warrior in the village, but his strength was only at the ninth level of the Foundation Profound Realm. He couldn't gather profound energy to enhance himself.

Once a powerful beast appeared, he alone might be unable to protect the village.

What Yun Lintian found weird was that the profound energy in this place was extremely shallow. It was as though something was blocking the energy's flow, preventing the villagers here from stepping into the profound path.

"How about this, Uncle Hei? Let me go with you next time. Perhaps I can find some clues." Yun Lintian said.

Yun Hei frowned slightly and briefly looked at the wounds on Yun Lintian's body. "Are you sure? It's dangerous, you know?"

Yun Lintian smiled as he responded. "Don't worry, Uncle Hei. Ordinary wild beasts cannot hurt me."
