Alone and Infinite

Aowu remained silent, muttering, "This old man really is..."

Li Xia reached out and picked up the Stone Heart. The small stone felt incredibly heavy to him.

That's not the weight of the stone itself, but the weight of the entire Stone Golem race.

Just then, a notification from the Hall of Light suddenly popped up.

[Executioner, you are involved in a major fateful event in the Tier 3 Primal World, Star Stan!]

[In accordance with the fundamental rules of the temple, special missions will be drafted, and the apostles will decide for themselves whether to accept them!]

【Notice! Notice! Notice! 】

The rewards for special missions will be increased based on the rewards of the original missions, with varying degrees of enhancement depending on the mission's difficulty!

[Task formulation in progress]

[Special Mission: We are Children from the Stars]

[Task Difficulty: S+]

[Mission Objective: Return the Heart of Stone to the ancestral home of the Stone Clan in Tianbi Mountain, enabling the Stone Clan to revive their fire.]

[Task period: 10 days]

[Task Reward: Individual guilds will receive an additional tier boost (maximum SS; guilds already at SS tier will receive an additional SS tier guild skill slot)]

[Mission Brief: The Stone Men will not perish; the child from the stars will be reborn in the flames to exact revenge on the invaders and betrayers!]

Aowu and Heitan's eyes widened, and their breathing became rapid.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Is this what they mean by good deeds being rewarded??? If someone betrayed their promise and went straight back, would they still encounter such good fortune???"

It let out an excited howl.

How high are the rewards for this task?

The guild will be directly promoted to an additional tier one. The 'Meishan' guild is currently an A-level super small guild, and this mission was originally intended to promote it to an S-level guild.

The theft of the sacred relic is complete, which means it's a sure thing that an S-rank guild is responsible.

With this mission added, wouldn't that make it an SS-level solo guild?

This is insane! A Tier 3 SS-level solo guild!

If word got out, it would drive countless people crazy; even the top few dozen lone wolf warriors in the arena would probably be tempted.

Normally, to create an SS-level solo guild, you need to be at level five or six.

This time, the timing was just too perfect.

The rewards for special missions are an additional boost to the rewards for the original missions.

The original mission reward was precisely to advance to the next rank!

However, from another perspective, advancing from S-level to SS-level guild requires a large amount of experience and SS-level advancement tasks.

This task skips the experience requirement and replaces the SS-level promotion task with an S+ level task, taking into account the increased rewards and difficulty of the special task.

Absolutely reasonable!

Anything else to say? Accept it now!

[Executioner, you have accepted a special mission: The Child from the Stars!]

Chapter 321 Tianbi Mountain

Li Xia stared at the Stone Heart in his hand. The stone was oval-shaped and about the size of an egg.

It exudes a gentle power, and its crystal-clear appearance reveals its extraordinary qualities.

His gaze swept over the stone human race's sacred object in his hand, which appeared dignified and peaceful, like a precious jewel.

He then glanced at the Greghan relic, a wrinkled, green-eyed dead man's head hanging at his waist.

Even though they are both sacred objects, the difference is immediately apparent.

"What are you looking at?"

Mimi, whose bell had been removed, inexplicably felt a sense of 'discrimination'.

Aowu is straightforward and outspoken; she'll never hold back if she can be blunt.

"Don't you have any self-awareness at your age? Look at other people's sacred objects, and then look at yourself, you look like a ghost."

"What do you know!"

Mimi's bright green eyes darted around in their sockets; if he had a physical body, he would have already rushed forward to attack.

But at this moment, all he could do was talk, spouting nonsense like how you can't judge a sacred object by its appearance, but by its function.

They were quickly drowned out by howling laughter.

Li Xia ignored Xiaolong and Mimi's argument and glanced at the 'Heart of Stone' in his hand again.

The Hall of Light still provided a panel, but the panel was quite simple.

Heart of Stone

[Stone Golem Sacred Relic]

[Unknown Curiosity]

In fact, from the perspective of the Temple of Light, the apostles rarely produce truly unknown artifacts. The reason they are labeled this way is simply because the temple doesn't want to tell you what these things are.

The reason for not wanting to disclose it is quite simple: either the thing is very powerful but unusable, and they are afraid that the apostles might have some inappropriate thoughts.

Or perhaps its function is rather peculiar, and whether you know about it or not doesn't matter.

Li Xia glanced at the bedrock that had turned into a stone statue and died, then suddenly slammed his palm down on the stone table in front of him.

"Oh!"

The heavy stone tabletop stood upright due to the force applied to one end. Li Xia grabbed the stone slab, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, with both arms and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

The entire stone slab was actually driven into the ground and stood there without moving an inch.

This sudden turn of events stopped Aowu and Mimi from their bickering.

Somewhat surprised, he watched as Li Xia drew the Murakumo sword hanging from his waist with a backhand.

The sword flashed, moving like a dragon or snake.

"Zheng!"

Sheathing his sword, Li Xia stood still, glanced at the stone slab, walked around the bedrock, and headed toward the small door behind him.

Mimi strained her eyes, trying desperately to see what Li Xia had written.

Unfortunately, Li Xia used Chinese characters, which he couldn't understand.

Mimi's eyes darted around, then she looked at Aowu:

"You can actually understand this scribbled mess?"

Aowu looked at him, his eyes filled with a sense of intellectual superiority:

"You can't understand it? This is a monument."

A monument? Who the hell asked you that? They asked about the contents of the monument!

Unfortunately, Xiaolong turned away from the dead man's head and instead looked at the monument, letting out a soft sigh.

"His Highness erected a monument for you, so at least this void has remembered you. Rest in peace."

Behind the small door was still a long tunnel. After Li Xia pushed aside a stone slab and crawled out from the ground...

Tianbi City was already behind us; this once fortified city had been transformed into a sea of ​​fire.

The Griggan air cavalry circled in the sky like carrion vultures.

The stone men's unwilling roars echoed throughout Tianbi City.

These echoing roars combined to harmonize with the mournful bird calls in the sky.

It turned into a lament.

Li Xia's body suddenly floated into the air and shot straight up the steep rock face.

The wind whistled in my ears, and my clothes fluttered in the wind.

The Griggans, who were searching the city for the location of the sacred relic, immediately noticed the unusual activity.

A mournful bugle call was sounded, followed by the sounding of other bugles.

The sky knights seemed to be attracted by something, and they all flew towards Li Xia's location.

The towering Tianbi Mountain acts like the best shield, directly restricting the sky, which could normally be attacked from all angles, by half.

Li Xia kept changing his direction while clinging to the rock wall, while Hei Tan held onto Li Xia's belt, his scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan eyes moving back and forth in their sockets.

With his exceptional dynamic vision, all attacks that could pose a threat to Li Xia were detected by these eyes.

"Meow!"

Awoo then positioned its egg in front of its prey, based on the direction the kitten had predicted the attack would take.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang"

The continuous sound of striking came, but the sharp arrows had no chance to hit the dragon egg.

"Hey, this is pretty stress-relieving!"

Li Xia ascended at an extremely fast speed, and when he reached a certain critical point, a strange repulsive force suddenly came.

With a sudden change in expression, he immediately slowed down his flight, his five fingers like knives plunging directly into the rock wall, firmly fixing himself to the cliff face.

The arrows fired by the air knights slowed down before they even got close, and eventually fell to the ground.

Is this what Jiyan meant by the wonder of Tianbi Mountain?

They can only get up by climbing; once they reach a certain height, they cannot get close by flying.

How tall?

Xiao Long took out the altimeter and glanced at it:

"Boss, the altitude is about 3781 meters above the ground, but the elevation is unknown."

Less than 4,000 meters. Tianbi Mountain is at least 20,000 meters high.

Li Xia took a deep breath, regulated her breathing, looked up and tightened her fingers. As if she had lost her weight, she floated up a little.

His fingers gripped the protrusions on the rock face, and he climbed upwards step by step.

Li Xia was no stranger to climbing; back in the second stage, he had climbed the Korin Tower, which was over 10,000 meters high, in the Dragon Ball world.

Furthermore, he did not use any true qi; he relied entirely on his physical body to climb.

They gained quite a bit after climbing the tower.

However, climbing Tianbi Mountain is completely different from climbing Kalin Tower, whose surface has many protrusions and reliefs.

It was designed from the outset to make it easy for challengers to climb, and the gravity in the Dragon Ball world is low.

Even though Li Xia is now much stronger than he was at the early stage of the second tier, the difficulty of climbing Tianbi Mountain is no longer on the same level as that of Kalin Tower.

The rock walls of Tianbi Mountain are so smooth that they don't seem to be naturally formed, and there are very few points of leverage. Often, Li Xia can only insert his fingers into the rock with all his might.

After a while, Aowu suddenly cried out in surprise:

"Boss, the Griggans below are catching up!"

Li Xia looked down and saw that at the critical point, Griggs' air knights were circling and approaching, and figures were being flung off their claws and landing on the rock wall.

Thick vines stretched out from behind them, mimicking Li Xia's actions and deeply embedding themselves into the rock wall.

Like spiders, they climbed upwards in alternating motions, while the Griggan below inserted vines into the holes left by the pathfinders and climbed up with ease.

These figures were so numerous that they really looked like a swarm of spiders chasing him from his feet.

The vines were much longer than an arm, so they moved extremely fast. In just a short while, the distance that had been widened suddenly shrank.
