Chapter 241 Tongtian Ridge
Jiang Mo briefly explained Feng Baobao's possession of the Heavenly Gu Body and the key role she might play in the return of the Gu God.
After listening to Jiang Mo's explanation, Zhao Fangxu pondered for a moment: "Tongtian Ridge is not a place that is easy to enter."
"According to records, Tongtian Ridge is surrounded by a powerful barrier, making it virtually impossible for outsiders to approach. Unless..."
“Unless we receive an invitation from Tongtianling,” Jiang Mo continued Zhao Fangxu’s words, “or find a secret passage to enter.”
The meeting room fell silent again.
The mystery and power of Tongtianling are well known, and even an organization like the company does not dare to easily antagonize it.
In the end, Zhao Fangxu made up his mind: "Jiang Mo, your strength and knowledge are our greatest advantage."
"If you are willing to go to Tongtianling, the company will fully support you. But you must ensure your own safety."
Jiang Mo nodded slightly: "I will. However, before we set off, I need to make some preparations, including arrangements for Feng Baobao and Chen Duo."
“No problem,” Zhao Fangxu assured him, “I will arrange for the most elite personnel to protect them.”
After the meeting, Jiang Mo went alone to the rooftop platform of the bunker and gazed at the distant Tongtian Mountains.
Among those rolling mountains, Tongtian Ridge is like a mysterious island, hidden in the clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
What is the connection between Tongtian Ridge and the Gu God?
Why are they so obsessed with the relics of the Gu God?
These questions lingered in Jiang Mo's mind for a long time.
"Jiang Mo."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Jiang Mo turned around and saw Feng Baobao standing not far away, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Something on your mind?" Jiang Mo asked.
Feng Baobao walked to Jiang Mo's side and gazed at the distant mountains with him: "I heard you're going to Tongtian Ridge?"
Jiang Mo nodded: "Yes, perhaps the answer I need can be found there."
"The answer to the question of the Gu God's return?"
"Um."
Feng Baobao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I want to go with you."
Jiang Mo turned to look at Feng Baobao, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Tongtian Ridge is very dangerous, why do you want to go?"
"Because I also want to know the answer,"
Feng Baobao's expression was firm. "About myself, about my abilities, and about what role I should play in this upcoming transformation."
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, but you must promise me that no matter what happens, you must follow my arrangements."
"Tongtianling is no ordinary place; even I cannot guarantee my safe return."
Feng Baobao nodded: "I understand."
"Then let's get ready. We'll set off in three days."
After Feng Baobao left, Jiang Mo continued to stand on the platform, his gaze still fixed on the distant Tongtian Mountains.
At this moment, a light rain began to fall from the sky, seemingly foreshadowing the arrival of a storm.
The three days of preparation time passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, Jiang Mo not only studied all the company's information about Tongtianling in detail.
They also prepared various items and medicines that might be needed.
At the same time, he did not neglect to guide Feng Baobao, helping her to better control the toxins in her body and unleash the potential of the Heavenly Gu Body.
On the day of departure, the weather was clear and cloudless.
Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao stood at the entrance of the bunker, ready to set off.
Zhang Chulan, Wei Duoduo, and Chen Duo also came to see him off, their expressions filled with reluctance and worry.
"Big brother, please be careful!" Zhang Chulan repeatedly urged. "If there's any danger, come back immediately. Don't be reckless!"
Jiang Mo smiled and patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Lord Gu God, you must return safely!" Wei Duoduo's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice trembled slightly.
Jiang Mo nodded: "I promise you."
Finally, Chen Duo stepped forward and said softly, "Jiang Mo, be careful in everything you do."
"No matter what happens, remember we're always here waiting for you to come back."
Jiang Mo looked at Chen Duo's determined eyes and smiled slightly: "Thank you, I will."
Zhao Fangxu also came to see them off. He handed Jiang Mo a small communication device: "This is our latest communication device. It can maintain a certain connection even under strong barrier interference."
"Contact us immediately in case of emergency."
Jiang Mo accepted the device and thanked Zhao Fangxu.
And so, with everyone watching, Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao embarked on their journey to Tongtianling.
The Tongtian Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with towering peaks and swirling clouds and mist, making them one of the most mysterious mountain ranges in the world.
As they ventured deeper into the mountains, Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao clearly sensed a change in the atmosphere around them.
A peculiar energy permeates the air, invigorating the spirit and bringing comfort to the body and mind.
“This is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth,” Jiang Mo explained, “the best nourishment for cultivation.”
"The spiritual energy concentration in the Tongtian Mountains is dozens of times higher than that of the outside world; no wonder it's the location of many immortal sects."
Feng Baobao nodded, feeling the toxins in her body become more active and orderly under the nourishment of this spiritual energy.
The essence of the poison that the Black Gu gave her was even more effective in this environment.
She could feel her control over the toxins steadily improving.
Following the map provided by the company, the two proceeded along a secluded mountain path.
This road is extremely rugged and dangerous, sometimes as steep as a wall, sometimes as narrow as a thread.
If it weren't for Jiang Mo's guidance, Feng Baobao would probably have lost her way long ago.
On the evening of the third day of their journey, the two finally arrived at an open valley.
A huge stone tablet stands at the entrance to the valley.
The words "Forbidden Land to Heaven, Unauthorized Entry Will Be Punished" are engraved on it, emanating an invisible pressure.
"This is the outer area of Tongtian Ridge,"
Jiang Mo looked at the stone tablet and said in a deep voice, "From here on, we must be extra careful."
"It is said that the barrier around Tongtian Ridge began here, and the slightest carelessness will trigger various traps and mechanisms."
Feng Baobao nodded and followed closely behind Jiang Mo, carefully stepping into the valley.
They hadn't gone far when Jiang Mo suddenly stopped and gestured for Feng Baobao to be quiet.
“Someone’s here,” Jiang Mo said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
Feng Baobao also held her breath and focused intently on sensing the movements around her.
With her heightened senses, she did indeed detect a strange aura.
But it is extremely faint, almost imperceptible.
“There.” Jiang Mo pointed to a rock behind him on the left front.
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the rock, moving at an extremely fast speed.
It swept past the two like a gust of wind and then disappeared into the depths of the valley.
"Chase!" Jiang Mo shouted, his figure flashing as he chased after the direction where the black shadow had disappeared.
Feng Baobao followed closely behind, and although she couldn't keep up with Jiang Mo's speed, she wasn't too slow either.
With the blessing of the Heavenly Gu Body, her physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.
Even in such complex valley terrain, it can maintain a certain speed.
