Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

On the way back to the hotel, Ye Yu asked Zaxi, "What are the names of those paintings hanging in the old lama's room?"

Tashi explained, "That's a Thangka, a type of painting unique to Tibetan Buddhism."

"Do all the lamas know how to paint?"

“Those who have practiced for many years can draw. I heard my mother say that before Tibet was liberated, many landlords would invite lamas to draw Thangkas on paper made from the skin of young boys and girls, saying that it would be easier to communicate with the gods that way.”

Ye Yu thought to herself that these methods were no different from those evil and crooked ways, yet they pretended to be noble and holy.

After returning to Zaxi's hotel, she ate something simple and then said goodbye and left.

She now knows the approximate location. According to the old lama's translation, the address drawn on the yellow cloth is on the east side of Zhumulangma Peak, where there is a 'Holy Gate'. This 'Holy Gate' is most likely the entrance to the map.

Mount Zhumulangma is famous as the highest peak in the central section of the Ximalaya Mountains in China, and is currently the highest peak in the world. Large glaciers are distributed between its ridges and cliffs.

Even though Ye Yu doesn't go online often, she knows that many mountaineering enthusiasts from home and abroad like to climb Mount Everest because of its unpredictable climate, which can change drastically even within a single day, and the temperature difference between day and night is also very large.

While resting in the car, Ye Yu searched for other information about Mount Zhumlangma.

Many climbers online share their experiences and recount the dangerous situations they encountered during their climbs.

Moreover, many people have died during the climb. People without money, physical strength, or experience will not come here, and even if they do, they mostly climb in teams.

Ye Yu felt that this would avoid a lot of trouble; the fewer people who could go, the more freely she could act.

She planned her route, drove back to Lhasa, and prepared ample equipment and supplies at a professional climbing equipment store before setting off for Mount Zhumulangma.

Along the way, the scenery gradually becomes spectacular and rugged. As the altitude increases, the thin air makes it difficult to breathe.

However, this does not include Ye Yu. In her previous life, she always traveled by flying on a sword or by riding a flying magical artifact at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. She would even fight with enemies during the flight.

Although her current body is not as powerful as her previous one, with her current cultivation level, climbing a mountain peak with an altitude of over 8,000 meters is a piece of cake.

Ye Yu did not go to the so-called mountaineering base camp, but drove directly to a location near the eastern side of the peaks and parked the car.

There are no climbing routes here, and the mountain is very steep, so no one comes here to climb, and there are no businesses here.

When she arrived, the weather was clear and sunny, but now, at only one o'clock in the afternoon, the weather has suddenly deteriorated, becoming gloomy, with howling winds mixed with blizzards.

Ye Yu didn't rush up the mountain immediately, but instead changed into the equipment she had bought in the car.

Although climbing this mountain is easy, the weather here is unpredictable and the environment is unfamiliar. If you happen to encounter other climbers, you won't seem too out of place.

Just as Ye Yu finished changing her clothes, her divine sense detected two SUVs driving towards her from behind, with people dressed as lamas sitting inside.

Ye Yu frowned, knowing without a doubt that these people had come with ill intentions.

The two cars were driving very fast and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, the lamas inside started jumping out one after another.

One of the lamas held up a photo and compared it with Ye Yu's. He angrily pointed at Ye Yu and spoke to the others. Then they all took out their weapons and made a gesture as if to attack Ye Yu.

Another lama, speaking broken Mandarin, said, "So it was you who killed Master Puntsok?"

"I did kill an old lama, but as for whether he was Master Pingcuo, I don't know," Ye Yu said calmly.

The lama who spoke was not angry; instead, he immediately revealed a fierce expression and said, "Hand over the Buddha statue you obtained, or draw the map behind it, or we will turn you into a ritual implement!"

Ye Yu was certain that these people were related to the old lama she had killed, and that she had obtained the information he was asked to translate from the already dead old lama.

It's also possible that they found Zaxi and learned the contents of the paper from him.

Ye Yu didn't want to waste words with them. With a gentle lift of her hands, more than a dozen spinning icicles appeared behind her.

The lamas had never seen such a method before. They exchanged glances, and then three of them began chanting Buddhist scriptures. Their voices were not loud, but as they slowly reached Ye Yu's ears, they sounded like thunderclaps.

Several others threw punches at Ye Yu. Although Ye Yu didn't know how the lamas' cultivation levels were calculated, their internal strength and techniques were not outstanding; they weren't even considered experts at the early Earth Rank.

She shot the ice spikes at the group, and in an instant, only two body-refining lamas remained alive. Fear was evident in their eyes; they had never encountered a master with such mysterious methods as Ye Yu before.

Ye Yu wasted no time. With a hand seal, the two of them were instantly frozen into ice blocks, which shattered into pieces in an instant when the wind blew.

Ye Yu burned the corpses, locked the car, and climbed up the mountain with her backpack.

She didn't want to use her flying sword to go up the mountain right away. Firstly, she was afraid of being seen by other mountain climbers. Ye Yu knew they would all be wearing professional recording equipment, and if they filmed her and posted it online, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Secondly, she didn't know what the so-called 'Holy Gate' on the yellow cloth was all about, so preserving her strength was the safest course of action.

However, Ye Yu used lightness skill, which meant that he would not consume much spiritual energy and could climb the mountain very quickly.

The surface of Mount Zhumlangma is covered with ice and snow, and the wind is very strong, so Ye Yu's ascent is a little slower.

Although she encountered several glaciers along the way, they were nothing to her; it only took her an hour and a half to reach the mountainside.

As she walked, she used her divine sense to search for any entrances, but she found nothing unusual until she reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Ye Yu took out the yellow cloth strip, carefully examined the route and markings on it, and just as she put the cloth strip away, she sensed someone approaching from behind her.

At this moment, the already raging snowstorm suddenly became even more ferocious. The wind howled like a runaway beast, emitting deafening roars.

The snowflakes no longer fell gently as before, but poured down like a dense rain of arrows, crashing heavily onto the earth.

Ye Yu's spiritual vision also dropped sharply, only covering about twenty meters, as if the whole world had been swallowed up by this raging wind and snow.

She glanced in the direction of the people coming and could only make out that they were wearing red and yellow striped clothes, so they must be lamas.

Ye Yu frowned slightly as she looked at the suddenly changing weather, muttering to herself, "It's like a persistent ghost."

The two lamas also walked very fast, but they were simply used to the environment and were also cultivating themselves, so they walked much faster than ordinary people, but still much slower than Ye Yu.

Ye Yu ignored them and turned to continue walking. Unexpectedly, the wind and snow intensified, almost as if they were all rushing towards Ye Yu.

Ye Yu knew that it was mostly the two people behind him who were behind it, and she was also surprised that they could manipulate the wind and snow like superhumans.

However, she did not intend to confront them. Instead, she struck the two people behind her with a palm strike, and the blizzard that was surging towards Ye Yu instantly bypassed her on both sides and headed straight for the two people.

The two lamas were unable to dodge in time and were thrown down the mountain.

Ye Yu turned around and quickened her pace to climb the mountain.
