Strongest Abandoned Son (Web Novel)
chapter-1996

“Sorry, I don’t take debts,” Ye Mo said plainly and then turned to the man. “Pay 100k god crystals and the God Heart Stone is yours.”

“Thank you.” The man threw a storage bag to Ye Mo without hesitation. Ye Mo scanned it, there were 100k god crystals, not one less. He immediately took the God Heart Stone out of the restriction and put it in a jade box, giving it to the skinny man.

The young mistress’s face was green. She didn’t expect that Ye Mo dared to reject her. Ye Mo followed their ship here, and even if he didn’t – how could a mere solo cultivator dare to reject her?

“Shameless person, why did our Heng God Corner even help you that much. Pfft!” the horse faced man said furiously.

Ye Mo sneered. “Help? What help did your Heng God Corner help me with? Did you give me a spot into the mountain or did you pay my challenge sign up fee? I used your Heng God Corner’s flying ship to come here, but I paid 40k god crystals. You dare to talk about help with that horse face of yours? Do you have any face?”

That horse faced man was going to fight immediately, but the young mistress sneered and turned to leave. The horse face glared at Ye Mo and turned to leave.

Niu Runan was extremely shameful and said nothing.

When the horse faced man said that Ye Mo didn’t pay back their help, everyone despised Ye Mo. Although it was the law of the jungle here, people took promises and favors seriously.

When they heard Ye Mo’s explanation, they realised what help it was. Ye Mo just used their ship to come here and paid 40k. 40k was enough to come from Heng God Corner here many times.

If you gave 40k god crystals to any power, they would politely send you to Mu Hua God Mountain and sign up for you.

…

Ye Mo immediately paid the sign up fee. After he left, he saw that bearded man again. The man saw Ye Mo and immediately walked over. “Dao friend, you had a God Heart Stone, but it’s such a waste to sell it. It’s hard to find such treasure even in the Mu Hua God Mountain.”

“I just want to see the Mu Hua God Mountain. I didn’t think that much.” Ye Mo smiled.

Then, Ye Mo raised his jade card. “How come there isn’t even a competition schedule and rule? There’s just a jade card marked with a number.”

The man laughed and pulled Ye Mo over before saying quietly, “This competition is just for collecting god crystals. There are nearly 3000 people signing up, there will be a few million god crystals collected. There’s no law, they probably just mark a number on the jade card to see how many are sold.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Mo asked.

The bearded man said, “When the mountain opens, it would be those god corner people going in first. After they go in, the challenge starts. So this means that after the challenge finishes, those guys would’ve searched the mountain for a few days. Even if there were good things at the outskirts, they will be all gone. Each time the mountain opens, it would be a different location, so there are many good things at the outskirts. Even if you go in by challenge, you won’t be able to get some things.”

Ye Mo was speechless. They had no bottom line. They took god crystals and then went in early themselves too.

“Don’t be too disappointed. Even so, those who win are usually immortal emperor peak stage or half divine. I need to tell you that some cultivators who have reached Dao Moulding Divine Emperor also come. If you see such a person, just admit defeat.” The bearded man said.

Seeing Ye Mo stop talking, the man pointed at a row of cultivation homes at the border and said, “You can use your magic artifact to set up a cultivation home there. I will be there too. Three days later, the mountain will open. After people go in, the challenge tournament will begin.”

…

Ye Mo heard this and could only set up his cultivation home. Just when he stayed in his cultivation home, he knew he was being watched. At least seven or eight spirit senses kept scanning towards his cultivation home. Ye Mo was very speechless.

There were no concerns here at all. These people were clearly onto him because he took out a God Heart Stone. One could imagine that if he failed the challenge, he would be followed immediately.

But Ye Mo didn’t care. He was very confident in the challenge. Even if he failed, he wouldn’t be afraid of them. Out of the spirit senses that scanned at him, there was only one that was near half divine. The rest were just ordinary immortal emperors.

Immortal emperor was the peak of the immortal realm, but here, although they weren’t at the very bottom, they were just ordinary.

It was easier to reach immortal emperor in the God Necropolis Domain because of the god crystals and the laws here. God crystals were much more powerful for cultivation than immortal crystals.

Three days passed quickly. Ye Mo didn’t bother to look what happened outside until the third day. He felt the time chi form a clear flow and thus he left the cultivation home.

The bearded man next door also came out. Seeing Ye Mo shocked at the time flow, he laughed. “This is the sign that the mountain is about to open. You see that time whirlpool on the sand clearing up? That’s the entrance to the mountain.”

“Thank you for your pointers, dao friend.” Ye Mo quickly thanked.

The bearded man didn’t mind and said, “This isn’t a pointer. Those who came to the Mu Hua God Mountain know this. Mu Hua means when you go in you’re very young, but if you accidentally encounter a time whirlpool, you’ll immediately become an old man.”

As the two spoke, a huge formation door appeared. Ye Mo saw that this formation door was made using top materials but couldn’t last long. Ye Mo immediately frowned. Even if he successfully challenged, he would need to go in three days later. Could this formation door last three days?

Those from the god corners and castles already released their flying magic artifacts and went along the sand into the whirlpool.

Ye Mo counted. There weren’t a lot of people going in, only two or three hundred. He couldn’t see through the cultivation level of the strongest. They were definitely divine emperors.

As flying magic artifacts went inside, that huge formation door dimmed down.

A man whose power level Ye Mo couldn’t see came out into the middle and waved out ten huge stages. There were powerful restrictions circulating the stage.

“Now, those who want to challenge please enter the stage. The time is a day, one the incense burns out, those who are still on the stage have the right to enter the mountain. Those struck off cannot go up again, otherwise – death…”

Before the man finished, people erupted.

“Isn’t it supposed to be three days?”

“There aren’t 20 spots? How did it become ten?”

…

No matter what people said, the man didn’t care and released a long incense stick that was lit up.

There were no rules and anyone could challenge. They could even gang up on people. Clearly, those who went up first would be disadvantaged.

The bearded man next to Ye Mo sighed. “It seems I have no hope. Looking at this, no matter how strong you are, you will be brought down in the end.”
