Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 392 - 181: The Obsession with Becoming Immortal

Upon hearing this news, the Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch nearly fainted.

What kind of place is Silver Horse Peak? A site for worshiping the Ancient Immortal, a place to soothe the souls of the living! The Ancient Immortal Altar on Silver Horse Peak is the totem, faith, and foundation of the Ancient Immortal Tribe!

A moment ago, the Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch was still talking confidently with He Youyi and Guan Xin, these two outsiders, saying that the Eternal Night Snow Mountain is rich and plentiful, and everyone in the Ancient Immortal Tribe is full of hope, believing that under the protection of the Ancient Immortal, life will get better and better.

But the next moment, news came that the Ancient Immortal Altar had shattered and even the entire Silver Horse Peak had collapsed.

Nonetheless, the Great Witch couldn’t care about the embarrassment anymore and angrily demanded:

"What on earth happened?"

The person who came to report, kneeling on the ground and shaking like a sieve, answered with fear and trepidation:

"About two moments ago, the watcher of Silver Horse Peak sent word that the sky suddenly brightened, the snow mist disappeared, and someone suspected to be an outsider ascended Silver Horse Peak. Judging by the attire, they seemed like outsiders. After sending the message, the watcher went up the mountain to check, and shortly after, Silver Horse Peak collapsed."

Beside the Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch, an old man with closed eyes said, "Great Witch, I’m afraid the person climbing the mountain has offended the Ancient Immortal. This is an ominous sign!"

"Outsiders, outsiders, always the outsiders!" The Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch, like an enraged lion, every muscle in his body trembling.

Someone below said, "It must be those outsiders attracted by the long-standing tourism of the Snow Mountain organized by the Profound Fire Tribe."

"Yes! It must be true! Outsiders entering the Eternal Night Snow Mountain, it’s already difficult for them not to freeze to death in the cold of the main path, and it’s even harder to enter the territory of our Ancient Immortal Tribe. But for money, the Profound Fire Tribe sells Cold-Expelling Profound Fire to outsiders, which only fuels the arrogance of the outsiders!"

"Outsiders are always like this, no matter where they go—plundering, possessing, slaughtering! They’ve offended the Ancient Immortal!"

The important figures of the Ancient Immortal Tribe in the hall were in an uproar.

The Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch shouted angrily, and everyone stopped, not daring to speak further.

He said solemnly, "The urgent matter is to stabilize Silver Horse Peak; we absolutely cannot let the Ancient Immortal Altar collapse. We must rush there immediately!" After speaking, he looked at He Youyi and Guan Xin, his prior politeness now cooled significantly due to the incident, but he still restrained himself from showing any hostility. "The Ancient Immortal Tribe has urgent matters, and I cannot entertain you two. Please go ahead."

Guan Xin asked expressionlessly, "Do you need our help?"

The Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch took a deep breath, "It would be better if you two don’t get close to Silver Horse Peak, lest you offend the Ancient Immortal again."

Silver Horse Peak is the sacred site of the Ancient Immortal Tribe, and with such a horrific incident happening, naturally, apart from the stationed garrison, all those with high cultivation hurried to the scene.

He Youyi and Guan Xin wouldn’t be completely unconcerned and quickly made their way there.

On the way, Guan Xin asked, "Is there really such a thing as offending the Ancient Immortal and bringing misfortune?"

He Youyi shook his head, "The greatest misfortune within Eternal Night Snow Mountain is that Fallen Immortal Land."

"Wasn’t there a mountain peak that collapsed two months ago? Could there be some connection between the two?"

He Youyi felt a bit uneasy, "I hope both mountain collapses are just coincidental events."

Guan Xin softly said, "Mr. He, we should stick to the facts and not ’hope’."

He Youyi felt a heaviness in his chest. He agreed with Guan Xin about sticking to the facts. Yet, hearing this from her only made him feel more stifled. If you truly understood what it means to adhere to facts, you wouldn’t have listened to those Saints and Great Saints, coming to Changsheng Continent for glory.

When they arrived at Silver Horse Peak, the area was already filled with people from the Ancient Immortal Tribe, both in the sky and on the ground, at the peak and in the valley.

The most powerful individuals in the entire Ancient Immortal Tribe were all there.

The Saiyang Sect’s Great Witch was at the highest point, directing everyone to control the collapse of Silver Horse Peak.

Silver Horse Peak is large, tall, and located in the heart of the Eternal Night Snow Mountain. Whether it’s the energy or the path, everything is filled with a murderous aura. Now that it has collapsed, this murderous aura has been magnified to the extreme. Even though the Ancient Immortal Tribe has lived here for generations and annually worships the Ancient Immortal at the altar to comfort the souls.

The collapse of the mountain still made it extremely difficult for them to respond. They not only had to stop Silver Horse Peak from continuing to collapse but also retrieve those parts of the mountain that had already broken off and piece them back together as they were.

They would not allow Silver Horse Peak to suffer even the slightest damage.

This was undoubtedly very difficult.

The people of the Ancient Immortal Tribe formed a human wall to block the momentum of the mountain’s collapse, enduring the ravages of the murderous path and energy. As one fell, another took their place, marching forward fearlessly.

Seeing this scene, Guan Xin couldn’t help but say, "Is it worth it? There are so many peaks here; why not just choose another one?"

He Youyi said, "This is their faith."

"Changing a place of worship doesn’t mean changing their faith." Guan Xin thought for a moment, "But I can somewhat understand why they don’t want to relocate."

He Youyi was curious to hear her reasoning, "Why?"

"A faith that no longer exists in the past will naturally lose its drive for progress. Like those monks who, even on the brink of starvation, still believe they can reach Paradise after death. Despite all their training, they can clearly handle this better but choose to face it physically."

He Youyi shook his head, "This is the only way to demonstrate the sincerity of their faith."

After speaking, he and Guan Xin transformed into arcs of literary light, circled around for exploration and sensing, and then returned to their original place.
