Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity, the trio finally arrived at their destination, the supposedly tallest mountain at the Immortal Peak. It stretched for a lot of distance, passing through the clouds.
Gazing at it, Teng Zakutra sighed, saying, "This mountain spans 12,314 meters in height. It's the tallest peak on this level and is also the actual peak of the Immortal Peak. At the top is a staircase that supposedly leads to heaven or something."
"But..." He sighed in disappointment. "I was unable to set foot on it. The moment I tried to do so, a heavenly voice whispered that I didn't have the qualifications. Of course, I was indignant to hear that. I set foot on the stairs anyway. And guess what, my feet passed through it."
"So, this is that peak." Krune nodded, gazing at Feifei before asking, "Shall we check it out once?"
"Sure." Feifei nodded as Krune summoned his Cloud Whale, shocking Teng Zakutra. Without wasting any time, the Cloud Whale flew up the mountain, reaching the top within an hour, to indeed see the flight of stairs reaching the top.
Krune landed on the peak, gently touching the first step with his toe, noticing that he was indeed able to set foot on it. He muttered, "Is it because that I possess the body cultivation method am I able to touch it?"
Feifei too arrived, gently touching the first step to see that she was able to feel it as well. "That should be the case."
"Then…" Krune thought, suddenly casting a beam with the development effect on Teng Zakutra, causing the other party to look in surprise to see that his physique was slowly growing stronger.
After a couple of minutes, Krune said to him, "Try and see if it works now."
Nodding, Teng Zakutra hesitantly touched the first step, noticing that the sensation he felt was akin to touching jelly. "It's not firm enough for me to travel."
"I see." Krune nodded, smiling as he said, "Then, it's simple."
He then focused the beam with the development effect on Teng Zakutra until his body weight increased by a kilogram. After that, upon touching the staircase, Teng Zakutra was able to feel that it was solid underneath.
"So, a kilogram of the body cultivation is sufficient." Feifei nodded, gazing at Krune as she continued, "Make pills so that anyone that ingests one can obtain a kilogram worth of weight within a day. I'll take care of the necessary preparations."
She then looked at Teng Zakutra and asked him, "Your village also exists here, right?"
"Yes," Teng Zakutra nodded as he replied.
"Alright," Feifei said, creating a bone tree slab similar to the ones she planted in the villages in all the levels, giving it to Teng Zakutra, along with a couple of development pills Krune had created. "Place it within your village while giving these to the chief there. Explain what you have seen here. Tell them that if they wish to join a powerful sect upon arriving at the God Realm, they'll have to follow what is written on that slab."
"Alright, I'll do that," Teng Zakutra said, placing the bone tree slab within his storage ring as he calmly jumped down from the side of the peak, descending down through the slopes rapidly, using winds to control his jumps.
Suddenly while moving partway through his descent, his body vanished, reappearing within the village that was situated tens of thousands of kilometers away, gasping for breath upon arrival.
He had activated one of his Spiritual Marks to achieve this. He then met with the village chief, telling him of everything that he had expressed, conveying the method to climb onto the flight of stairs beyond the peak.
His news brought excitement to the villagers. After all, they shared the sentiment of a cultivator. After conveying everything, Teng Zakutra used all the God Stones he had in his possession, recharging his Spiritual Mark fully before beginning his journey. This time, he traveled by train after asking for the travel funds from the village chief.
His Spiritual Mark needed a tremendous quantity of Godly Energy to activate. In any case, that wasn't something he possessed at his current cultivation base. He had only used it before to shorten the travel time.
Eventually, he returned to the mountain, stunned to see that many things had changed here. First was a sect that had silently appeared in place. Its entire walls had been created with the same material that formed the bone tree slab Feifei had given him.
And, roaming within were Monster Geckos. The moment he saw them. Teng Zakutra was surprised, shocked even as he was unable to understand just what had happened. Soon, he saw Feifei walking out, waving at him while asking, "Are you done with your work already?"
"Yep," Teng Zakutra said, asking in response, "What's happening here?"
"Oh, they're just helpers that would be helping me with managing all the stuff. When the villagers arrive here, they'll be the ones to guide them with the necessity to leave this place," Feifei replied.
Though, Teng Zakutra wasn't looking at her. Rather, his attention was grabbed by the hill that looked odd, something he hadn't noticed before. And, right as he thought as such, the hill moved. It was a living being.
Supreme Monster Gecko!
The sight of it scared him, for its presence overwhelmed him, surpassing him in strength. He would have to use his second Spiritual Mark to emerge victorious while facing it. And this was just something Feifei had summoned.
Right as he was wondering about the true extent of Feifei's power, he could feel even more ridiculous auras behind him, turning around to see another group walking towards him.
Upon noticing their approach, Feifei shouted, "You guys were too late. Krune and I almost died from old age."
"The Alacatra Ruins proved troublesome for us." Zamuria sighed. "There were some complications that we faced there."
"Well, I managed to complete it within four days, you know. It's a difference in skill, sheer skill." Krune had turned into his wisp form, purposefully taunting the group, looking down on them from high up in the air. "When this majesty entered it, the Alacatra Ruins had to bow before my awesomeness."
"The God that created it was probably your friend." Zamura snorted.
Even though he had hit the mark right on its head, Krune didn't accept it.. "It's purely thanks to my s-skill."
