“The Barren Cliff has a unique terrain. Every summer, there will be thunderstorms, and the lighting that strikes will be absorbed by this cliff, which has continued for centuries. In the end, the vitality of the cliff was destroyed by the frightening bolts of lightning, and there isn’t a single plant to be found.514Please respect copyright.PENANA6F4WahLNYt
“However, there’s a great secret on this cliff, and as the Senior Brother, I will tell Junior Brothers all that I know about.” Sung Tsz Hin flashed them a mysterious smile.514Please respect copyright.PENANAEwR0eiT0AW
Even Siu Chu was holding his hands nervously, wanting to hear about the great secret of the cliff.514Please respect copyright.PENANAFiGl6v7QNK
The group walked up the Barren Cliff, but as soon as they reached it, Kam Chin Kee’s face fell. His senses were stronger than Chui Yim's, but before he could try to sense the gliph, a scary ferocious aura stopped him instantly.514Please respect copyright.PENANALenlAu730S
They followed Sung Tsz Hin up the cliff, where there sat a gigantic egg-shaped rock the size of a grown adult.
Sung Tsz Hin patted the rock slightly, but it seemed to be stuck to the ground, not moving a single inch. Such a perfect rock couldn't be man-made.514Please respect copyright.PENANAOzybATUAcT
“This is an egg of a gliphic beast.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ZZ2scC3v
The rest were surprised to hear this piece of news from Sung Tsz Hin, Siu Chu even clasped his mouth with his cute, chubby hand. He grew up in Cloud Palace, but Sung Tsz Hin banned him from going to the foot of the mountain due to his young age.514Please respect copyright.PENANAwb0MJlbDGA
“Master told me that he brought this egg back seven hundred years ago. Feeling that it would be such a pity to be destroyed by man, he brought it back and randomly placed it here. But who knew that it would take root on this piece of land and even influence the surrounding environment? The lightning was summoned by it to become its nutrients.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAfaBTCHJNK0
“Taking in lighting as nutrients?” Chu Yim was unable to hide his surprise. “What kind of gliphic beast is this? I’ve never read about it in the books!” He turned to Kam Chin Kee, who shook his head. He had never read about this in Evergreen Palace’s Sacred Scripture Pavilion either.514Please respect copyright.PENANANnT7heMkEr
“A widely known gliphic beast.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled at Chui Yim. “But how it grows remains a mystery to many. Seventh Junior Brother, you might be familiar with it.514Please respect copyright.PENANAgpt1P8QI18
“It has a few names and was greatly known even a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago, it was called rock monkey, but in this generation, we call it phantom monkey.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAxSAhff0ttJ
Chui Yim drew in a breath of cool air as he recalled the day when he nearly passed away in the Forbidden Forest.514Please respect copyright.PENANAxDKEZqvXYC
He had led an interesting life after reincarnating. His journey that lasted about a year from Southary to South Imperial City was undoubtedly filled with danger, but the most dangerous experience was when he came across the phantom monkey.514Please respect copyright.PENANA5AWz1ecI3N
He did not have Kam Chin Kee or Chor Shing Chit to protect him back then, and he was still just a teen with a heart deficiency who might die of heart pain after running for a short moment. Finally, he use the Thousand Arrow Mechanism to kill the phantom monkey. But he knew he was lucky; if he was a second slower, he would be dead instead.514Please respect copyright.PENANAa0yjE3avjo
Putting aside the terrifying spiritual attack after the monkey died, without Heaven’s Flame in his heart, any other teenager who had yet to break through their innate chamber would have lost their life during the fight.514Please respect copyright.PENANApu5aMS8JDb
The phantom monkey’s aura was still in his body as an odd, grey crown lying in his wind chamber silently.

“Contrary to popular belief, the phantom monkey isn’t murderous.514Please respect copyright.PENANAp3LMaAcpgE
“A thousand years ago, they were called rock monkeys. Heaven and earth were their parents, and they grew by taking in the world’s nutrition. When the time came, it would be born. Every rock monkey was a miracle of the world, and its power and growth differ from all gliphic beasts. But because of this, rock monkeys were not seen easily in the world because there could only be one rock monkey in the world at a time, which means that the existing rock monkey had to pass on for another to appear in the world.514Please respect copyright.PENANANYXi8rgdIm
“Master has left it here for more than seven hundred years, so it has taken in more than seven hundred years’ worth of nutrition, which symbolises that its time has yet to come.” This made Sung Tsz Hin slightly emotional.514Please respect copyright.PENANAHqbYWSPyI0
The others were left speechless, and Chui Yim felt that the monkey must be lonely and helpless to remain in the same place for seven hundred years without progress.514Please respect copyright.PENANA0UDzWlgnFn
“Does that mean it has a chance now since I killed that phantom monkey in the Forbidden Forest?” Chui Yim asked.514Please respect copyright.PENANAngy3yEBNWn
Sung Tsz Hin shook his head. “Of course, it’s not that simple; there are plenty of rock eggs in this world, all waiting for their chance. During the past seven hundred years, there was even poaching of phantom monkeys, but it still stayed as it is.”

The group left the cliff and made their way up the mountain. They arrived at a huge rundown building. Specifically, it seemed to be some kind of storage place.514Please respect copyright.PENANAX3mYJlCPG8
The storage was about twenty meters high and wide, looking like a huge cube.514Please respect copyright.PENANAS7OUsQZAMp
“This is the Purifying Cloud Pavillion. Clouds are the mother of water, but at the same time, they absorb sewage water.” Awkwardness took over Sung Tsz Hin as he explained; even he felt awkward when he first heard the name. “The Purifying Cloud Pavillion is… where we all leave our miscellaneous items.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAqxoQE6ttFr
“…” The three teenagers were left speechless. What a fancy name for a storage place, really…514Please respect copyright.PENANA4fr0chHYnr
Sung Tsz Hin brought them to the entrance and placed his hand on the unassuming black door, pushing it open. Unlike what the teenagers expected, they were welcomed by mountains of treasure. They could feel the aura of powerful gliphic materials, precious treasures, and even money.514Please respect copyright.PENANAN6cpB6d788
The teenagers were now speechless. Calling a treasury storage for miscellaneous items…514Please respect copyright.PENANAIStACPyf5f
“You can take whatever you want from here; it’s here because we don’t need it but deem it valuable.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled at them. “The treasure Fifth Junior Sister is currently using, the Broken Dragon Qin, was taken from here. Even I have no idea who placed it here, but maybe Master does.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7b7xthuol
Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee’s eyes shone brightly and they started to touch around, but they were stopped by Sung Tsz Hin. “We still have a lot of time, come back some other day. I’ll bring you somewhere else now.”

Cerulean Mountain was enormous. In the wilderness, beasts roamed freely, but they never dared to head up the mountain, only staying at the foot of the mountain because Cerulean Mountain was where Lost in the Clouds was located.514Please respect copyright.PENANAmiqzpR17Ki
The group moved up the mountain, but suddenly, they heard a sharp sound.
