System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

“Miss, although there is no mountain gall in the third mountain, there are wandering tongues. Could it be that Aunt Seven has misremembered, and the mountain gall is actually in the fourth mountain?”

Previously, Meng Qianzi, the Mountain Ghost King, had always said that the Mountain Gallbladder was inside the Triple Mountain. Now that everyone has entered the Triple Mountain, the Mountain Gallbladder is not there.

His subordinates were only saying that to give face to their ancestor.

What he really thought was that perhaps that ancestor had never actually entered the Three Mountains, but was just making things up to save face.

Meng Qianzi knew in her heart that, in the end, there were only a few possibilities.

One reason is that Aunt Qi is concerned about saving face; she's never actually been to the Three Mountains and was just making things up.

The second possibility is that she is no longer the original person; she has been possessed and controlled by a water spirit, who deliberately spreads false information to make them go nowhere.

It's important to know that breaking through mountains to extract gallbladders is extremely physically demanding.

As the Mountain Spirit King, she almost exhausted herself when she split open the three layers of mountains; not to mention the others, who couldn't even split open the first layer.

In this situation, they only had one option: to go home.

The water spirit was openly and secretly hindering everyone from taking the mountain gall along the way, so the second possibility is more likely.

Meng Qianzi lay on the ground and rested for more than half an hour before she regained some strength.

She sat up from the ground and looked around. Apart from the tongue wandering around at the beginning, there was nothing else in the interior space of the mountain rocks.

Nevertheless, one thing is certain: the mountain gall is located within the Ninefold Mountain, though which one is unknown.

Of course, knowing this is useless, as her current strength is limited to splitting open three mountains.

"Alas, this time we Mountain Spirits may really be powerless to help."

Meng Qianzi looked at Zhang Hao and the others with an apologetic expression.

"It's all my fault for having the wrong information. I thought the Mountain Gallbladder was in the Third Mountain, but now I've discovered it might be in the Fourth, Fifth, or even Ninth Mountain. I've also told you about the situation of us Mountain Spirits. Now, no one has the strength to cut open the Fourth Mountain and every subsequent mountain."

My strength is currently the strongest among the mountain spirits, but it's limited to the third level of the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie's expressions turned extremely ugly. If they couldn't extract the mountain gall, they wouldn't be able to deal with the water spirit, and their final fate as water demons would be death.

"Miss Meng, please express your apologies. We are already very grateful that you are willing to help. If we really cannot remove the gallbladder, then it is our fate."

"Miss Meng, could you teach me the specific steps of dissecting a mountain? Perhaps I can give it a try."

"what?"

The people around exclaimed in unison and turned to look at Zhang Hao.

Meng Qianzi advised, "The ability to split mountains is unique to us mountain spirits. As an outsider, you could not possibly possess such an ability."

"Zhang Hao, thank you. Although you are the most powerful person I have ever met, special abilities like the Mountain Spirit cannot be forced. If Miss Meng says you can't do it, then you definitely can't."

"SaSa, have you forgotten? Boss isn't a water demon, but he can breathe underwater, and he's even better at it than us water demons. He can stay underwater for longer. Maybe Boss really can!"

Upon hearing Ding Yudie's words, Yi Sa's eyes, which had previously lost hope, lit up again.

She thought that Zhang Hao was not only the most capable person she had ever met, but he also always brought surprises; it seemed there was nothing he couldn't do.

If he, as an ordinary person, can possess the same abilities as a water demon, then it's not impossible for him to also possess the abilities of a mountain spirit.

"Zhang Hao, are you really sure you can do it?"

Yi Sa asked uncertainly.

"You won't know until you try it."

Zhang Hao himself wasn't quite sure. He had fused with the Mirage Pearl and possessed the ability to breathe in sync with the mountains, so theoretically he should also be able to dissect mountains.

However, he hasn't used this ability yet, so he's not entirely sure.

Seeing that Yi Sa and Ding Yudie both trusted Zhang Hao so much, Meng Qianzi couldn't help but feel a little wavering.

"Could he really do it?"

“Miss, Brother Zhang Hao is quite capable, but he is not a mountain spirit after all, so he can’t have the same abilities as us. However, it’s fine if he wants to try. Let me teach him.”

The mountain spirit in the group had been saved twice by Zhang Hao in Wucun, and when he saw that Zhang Hao wanted to try, he volunteered.

"Forget it, I'll do it."

Meng Qianzi thought that there was no harm in trying. It would be best if she could break through the fourth mountain, but if she couldn't, it wouldn't be any worse than the current situation.

"Actually, opening a mountain is very simple. Try to integrate yourself with the entire mountain range, feel the breath of the mountain, and make your breath in the same frequency as the mountain. As long as you meet the requirements, the passage will naturally appear."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Zhang Hao moved to the side, pressed his body against the rock wall, and then closed his eyes to carefully feel the breath of the mountain.

He sensed the frequency of the mountains and immediately adjusted his breathing to match the frequency of the mountains.

"Click, click..."

The sound of the crack appearing rang in his ears the next second, and a crack wide enough for four or five people to pass side by side appeared in front of him.

"This……"

The moment the crack appeared, Meng Qianzi and the other mountain spirits were all stunned into silence.

They couldn't believe what they were seeing was real.

It took Meng Qianzi, the newly appointed Mountain Ghost King, nearly an hour to split open the triple mountain, and she was almost completely exhausted before she could barely open it.

Zhang Hao, an outsider and not a mountain spirit, not only managed to cut through the even more difficult four layers of mountains in just a few breaths, but the crack he created was also much wider than any crack opened by the Mountain Spirit King.

The wider and longer the cracks that appear when a mountain is split open, the stronger the person who split the mountain is.

As an outsider, Zhang Hao had to learn the techniques of splitting mountains on the spot.

The result was that both the time taken and the number of cracks created far exceeded those of Meng Qianzi, the Mountain Ghost King.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that such an incredible thing could actually happen?

"Zhang Hao, how did you do that?"

"That's amazing! His strength far surpasses that of Miss Meng."

"If Zhang Hao were a woman, the position of Mountain Ghost King would be his."

……

Zhang Hao was also shocked as he looked at the wide crack in front of him.

To gain such power simply by fusing with a mirage pearl is incredibly awesome.

After obtaining the mirage pearl, those mountain spirits had to undergo a special secret method to transform into mountain spirits. After years of practice, the most outstanding among them could split three mountains.

And for him, splitting open four mountains was so simple.

The difference is immediately apparent when comparing the two.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie were overjoyed to see Zhang Hao successfully split the mountain open.

"Boss, you are so awesome!"

"Zhang Hao, I can't even describe your incredible abilities in words. Without you, I would have to give up."

"Alright, hurry up and go in. Let's see what's inside the fourth mountain. If we're too slow, the crack will heal itself."
