A large crystal mountain stood in the center of the Fox Immortal Blessed Land. It was recorded in the "Ancestor's Biography" — Soul-Stealing Mountain.
At this time, Fang Yuan was suspended above Soul-Stealing Mountain in his original form. He was three zhang tall, with a green face and fangs, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and eight strange arms that were hideous and terrifying.
But such a body was as insignificant as an ant compared to Soul-Stealing Mountain.
Fang Yuan's eyes emitted divine light. He stared intently at Soul-Stealing Mountain below and suddenly shouted lightly: "Pluck Mountain!"
The next moment, a formless, vast power burst forth from his body and quickly moved toward Soul-Stealing Mountain.
Fang Yuan spread his eight arms in an embracing gesture, as if holding a huge object. He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, as if trying to lift something heavy.
Rumble...
At first, the sound was only a slight noise. But in the blink of an eye, the volume grew louder and louder, and the entire small world began to shake gently.
The one making the sound was Soul-Stealing Mountain.
Under Fang Yuan's urging, this crystal mountain actually began to slowly rise, leaving the ground.
Fang Yuan persisted with gritted teeth, the muscles on his eight arms bulging high like thick stones.
Not only his arms, but all the muscles of his body were completely mobilized. His body creaked — the sound of bones under unbearable strain.
Under his efforts, Soul-Stealing Mountain rose higher and higher, gradually leaving the ground, reaching a height of five or six cun.
Beside him, the earth spirit of the Fox Immortal watched with her mouth slightly open, a look of surprise on her face.
"Rise again." Fang Yuan intended to test thoroughly; having reached this step, he still did not stop.
Lines of light gradually lit up on his body.
These lines covered his entire body, but were not dense. They looked very sparse.
The light grew brighter, and at the same time, the speed at which Fang Yuan was lifting Soul-Stealing Mountain became faster and faster.
At first, the mountain was rising cun by cun; now the amplitude grew, flying into the sky chi by chi.
While driving the immortal gu Pluck Mountain, Fang Yuan also took time to examine himself.
These bright lines on his body were precisely the Dao marks of strength.
The Dao marks of strength were distributed all over his body, chaotic and disorderly. Some were entangled together, clustered, while others were single, independently occupying certain patches of skin.
"I am fully driving the strength immortal gu Pluck Mountain. The Dao marks of strength on my body resonate with the immortal gu. The power of the immortal gu has not changed. But when I activate it now, I can exert nearly twenty percent more strength!"
Fang Yuan persisted a little longer until cracks appeared in all his bones and Soul-Stealing Mountain had risen to twenty or thirty zhang, then he slowly set Soul-Stealing Mountain down.
The huge and heavy mountain body fell to the ground, emitting a dull thunderous rumble, raising rolling clouds of dust.
Fang Yuan was panting heavily. His whole body was sore, and his muscles were also damaged.
But after a few breaths, under the powerful recovery ability of the immortal zombie body, both bone and muscle injuries quickly healed.
Fang Yuan's breath gradually stabilized. Still hovering in midair, he slowly closed his eyes and carefully savored the feeling just now.
Before using the strength immortal gu Pluck Mountain, Fang Yuan had performed various deductions. Now using it, his understanding was deeper. As they say, practice yields true knowledge, that is the principle.
"Since I became a strength gu immortal, the Dao marks of strength on my body have not increased. Therefore, when fully activated, with the resonance of the Dao marks of strength, it can only add nearly twenty percent power."
"Using the Pluck Mountain immortal gu continuously consumes immortal essence. Just now, in this time, it has consumed three green grape immortal essences of mine."
"The consumption of immortal essence seems huge, but considering the target is Soul-Stealing Mountain, the consumption is not much."
Soul-Stealing Mountain is a wonder that can produce courage gu, unique in all the nine heavens and five domains. Such an important treasure land, even the Great Snowy Mountains cannot compare.
Fang Yuan guessed from this that if he were to pluck other ordinary mountains, it should be much easier than Soul-Stealing Mountain.
"What a Pluck Mountain." After a moment, Fang Yuan opened his eyes, praised softly, very satisfied in his heart.
You know, any mountain cannot be easily plucked and moved.
A tree has roots, a mountain has roots. If you pluck carelessly, you break the roots and destroy it.
According to the Dao of Qi, the entire world is composed of and flows with the two energies of heaven and earth. The two energies intersect, surging endlessly, forming various natural landscapes.
For example, wind, rain, thunder, lightning are when heavenly energy is abundant, mixed with occasional earthly energy.
Another example, mountain peaks and hills are when earthly energy condenses, mixed with a little heavenly energy.
Destruction is always much easier than construction.
Mountains and rivers are easy to destroy but not easy to relocate. The mountain root is connected to the earth, and the earthly energy condenses and interlinks. Like the foundation of a tall building, if you use brute force to pull it out, you will directly break the earthly energy and destroy the mountain.
But Pluck Mountain has a mysterious power that directly cuts off the connection of earthly energy without damaging the mountain body. When set down, it can reconnect with earthly energy. This is definitely not something ordinary means can achieve.
"Pluck Mountain, Still Waves... Next, let's try this strength immortal gu."
