Chapter 79: Entering the Calamity Mountain Range Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The night passed under Romo’s guidance. The next day, when Ron woke up, he felt that his strength had increased again. Previously, many magical powers had not been used smoothly, but after a night of teaching by his Old Ancestor, he was able to use all of them freely, greatly increasing his combat ability.

Then, after he had gone to the ancestral hall to pay respect to his Old Ancestor, he saw that Karuman had already prepared his luggage. He was going out with Ron. Romo had already told him about this last night, so Ron did not find it strange.

Ron bade farewell to the family and rode out of Winterfrost with Karuman, heading for the place for the trial..

In the air, Romo looked at the back views of the two of them as they left and said calmly, “Young Ron has already begun to embark on his own path. It’s time for me to do my own thing. These ten days are very precious. I can’t waste them,” after saying this, Romo looked in a direction and flew off.

The place Romo wanted to go was the Calamity Mountain Range. The reason why he wanted to go to this place was because there were many resources here, resources that could increase one’s strength. What their family clan lacked the most now was naturally magical power resources. Previously, if Romo wanted to obtain magical power resources, he could only buy them from the System Shop. However, his Faith Points were limited, and it was impossible for all the magical power resources to be obtained from the System. It was precisely because of the lack of magical power resources that Ron had chosen to participate in the dangerous Blue Jade Trial. Now that Romo could go out himself, he naturally had to take advantage of this time to gather more magical power resources, and the Calamity Mountain Range was the best choice.

When he entered the mountain this time, he had to find some excellent magical resources for his descendants. Of course, if he had enough time, he might even make a trip to the Holy Light City.

As he was thinking about this, he had already flown to the Calamity Mountain Range. However, Romo did not stop but continued to fly forward. This was only the periphery of the Calamity Mountain Range. Although there were also some magical power resources, they were very few. Only some people of the Great Mage realm would come here to search for resources. There would also be some students from the magic academies who would often come here to train in teams. For example, during the duel between Howen and Ron previously, the Magic Snake Core he had ingested was obtained from killing a Magic Snake outside the Calamity Mountain Range. Also, the few teachers and students from the Pure White Magic Academy who were almost killed by Karuman previously were all only exploring the periphery. Romo’s time was precious now, so he naturally would not waste time in the periphery. His goal was the depths of the Calamity Mountain Range, some places he had been to when he was alive.

When he was alive, he had already explored the Calamity Mountain Range. At that time, he was only a level-6 Great Archmage. However, in order to advance to a higher realm, he had taken the risk to enter the depths of the Calamity Mountain Range and explore a large portion of the area. Although he had encountered many dangers, he had also obtained many resources. It was by relying on the resources obtained there that he had reached the peak of the Great Archmage realm. The magical resources there were indeed abundant, and they were also very precious. Some places which he had discovered might even have natural treasures, but they were too dangerous for him at that time, so he did not go near them. However, now that his strength was at the peak of the Great Archmage realm, those places were not dangerous to him. His goal was to explore these places which he had explored previously when he was alive.

He was very fast and flew for a full five to six hours. Along the way, he came across many magical beasts and many Magi who were exploring here. However, even if they had discovered Romo, they dared not provoke him after sensing his powerful aura.

Romo flew for another five to six hours. He had already passed through the periphery and arrived at the depths of the Calamity Mountain Range.

“Caw!”

At this moment, a loud sound similar to that of a frog could be heard. Then, Romo sensed the aura of a powerful magical beast coming from below. Romo looked down and saw what seemed like a mountain actually starting to move. It was not a mountaintop, but a giant toad crouching on the mountain peak, not moving at all! At this moment, the giant toad saw Romo passing by and thought that Romo was a delicious food. It immediately let out a loud cry, and suddenly jumped up. It opened its huge devouring mouth, wanting to swallow Romo whole.

“Ignorant thing.” Romo looked coldly at the other party. With just one look, he had seen the other party’s strength. It was not his match at all. The magical power in his body surged, and he slapped at the giant toad from afar. Instantly, a large amount of magical power surged forth, forming a giant palm made of cold air which slapped down on the giant toad. When the giant toad saw the palm formed by the cold air, a trace of terror instantly appeared in its eyes. It wanted to dodge, but it was already too late to do so. The cold ice palm was seen slamming down, and the giant toad was instantly frozen. All its life force vanished in an instant. Then, that palm with its still powerful impact smashed the toad down like a meteorite toward the mountain below.

Boom!

Like a comet crashing into the earth, it directly smashed the mountaintop. The areas around also seemed to have experienced an earthquake, and kept trembling. Romo casually waved his hand at the toad’s carcass, and a crystal clear pearl flew over and landed in Romo’s hand. This pearl kept emitting waves of powerful magical aura. It was a magical beast core.

After reaching adulthood, the magical beast would form a magical beast core in its body. The magical beast core was where the essence of the magical beast resided. It had many uses. It could be used to refine Magic Pills or to refine magical weapons. It could even be ingested directly as a Magic Pill to instantly increase one’s strength. Previously, when Howen and Ron were fighting, he had directly ingested that Magic Core. However, that was only a level-1 Magic Core. There was not much energy in it, and Howen could withstand it. If it were a high-grade magical beast core, he could not ingest it directly. Otherwise, his body would likely have exploded from the inability to withstand the violent magical power. However, he could absorb the magical power in the Magic Core to rapidly increase his strength during cultivation. In short, this Magic Core had many uses and was very valuable.

Previously, there was a level-7 Magic Core in the System Shop. It was priced at 30,000 Faith Points, and this was only half the price.. If it was exchanged for Magic Stones, it would be worth at least 20,000 Magic Stones.
