The cultivators within the carriage stared at the approaching cliff ahead with terror in their faces.

Clearly, the vehicle wouldn’t stop; it was going to keep crashing forward—a case of the egg smashing against the rock.

“Boss Ye is too reckless!”

“Shut up, hold tight, and brace yourselves. We’re about to crash into it—don’t bite your own tongue.”

“Get down, get down!”

Inside the carriage, people were in a complete mess, their eyes tightly shut, clinging for dear life to the handrails, not daring to look ahead.

“Woof, kid, you’re not really thinking of crashing into it, are you?” Ergouzi, who was in the passenger seat, saw the condition of the road ahead and immediately bristled.

Ji Wuqing was also so frightened that his fur stood on end: “No way, no way, you’re not seriously going to crash into it, are you?”

“I want to get off; please open the door, Brother Ye.”

Yu Sanbian said indifferently, his hand involuntarily gripping the handle beside him.

“No big deal, just a small hill slope, nothing to be afraid of!”

Li Xiaobai floored the accelerator, jerked the steering wheel, and the truck lunged straight for the cliff.

An earth-shattering thunderous roar broke out as the front of the truck plunged into the cliff in an instant. The entire mountain trembled violently, startling the many cultivators who were carefully climbing it. They let go in terror, falling from above.

The heavy truck continued its relentless advance. Within just a few breaths, the entire truck had completely entered the mountain, forming an abyssal dark tunnel.

From the outside, the cultivators stood agape as they looked at the gigantic hole at the bottom of the cliff, never having dreamed that this test could be passed in such a way.

What kind of mount was that, and which tough guy was driving it?

This was simply the act of a brute. While everyone else was figuring out ways to get over the cliff, Brother Ruthless had actually decided to punch a hole through the base of the cliff and cross over—such a train of thought was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.

But Li Xiaobai’s trailblazing had saved the remaining cultivators a lot of trouble. Those with the guts decided to take a chance and enter the large hole opened up at the base of the cliff.

Theoretically, as long as Li Xiaobai could penetrate the entire mountain, they would be able to follow and get out behind him, thus effortlessly passing the test at the mountain gate.

“The mountain won’t suddenly collapse, will it?”

“Even if it collapses, I’ll accept it. This is my third time coming to the Holy Demon Sect as an apprentice. If I don’t succeed this time, I won’t have the face to go back to my hometown!”

“Right, take a chance; if a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle, then Brother Ruthless looks reliable—I believe in him!”

“No time to talk; let’s hurry!”

With resolve, the other cultivators followed suit; it was too difficult to cross the mountain by their own strength.

Instead, they pinned their hopes on Brother Ruthless. His mount and his style clearly marked him as a big shot—a sure bet to pass the test. With him paving the way, their chances of getting through increased substantially.

Inside the cliff,

At this moment, Li Xiaobai, a little too excited from driving, took out a piece of the high-quality Spirit Stone that he didn’t have much left of and stuffed it into the fuel tank of the big truck.

Dust filled the air, and rocks flew everywhere as the truck accelerated madly, charging forward regardless of consequences. The rocks were easily punctured by the hard front of the truck, barely posing any resistance as the truck raced along.

Everyone inside the carriage was scared out of their wits, with the truck diving deeper into the mountain.

They were cautious of the chunks of rock being smashed and flying forward and fearful that the mountain above them would suddenly collapse. The whole experience was nerve-wracking, lying in the carriage barely daring to breathe.

“Woof, kid, let Lord Ergouzi take over for a bit!”

With the windshield for protection, the cliff posed no problem whatsoever. Ergouzi’s fear slowly turned to excitement from the beginning.

It realized that driving a big truck through a mountain was truly exhilarating.

Its paws instinctively scraped at the steering wheel, trying to wrest control of the drive.

Ji Wuqing also came over, curiously examining the accelerator Li Xiaobai continuously stomped on, eyes twinkling with a sharp light, seemingly deep in thought.

“Shoo, shoo, go away, play with your Pudong Rooster!” Li Xiaobai shooed Ergouzi away.

“Woof, that lousy chicken is downright useless, doesn’t even qualify as a proper mount. Lord Ergouzi demands a return and wants a cooler ride!”

“Cluck cluck, you shall address me as Lord Ji!”

Ji Wuqing’s eyes blazed with anger, pecking ferociously at Ergouzi, causing the inside of the vehicle to erupt into chaos with chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Yu Sanbian turned a deaf ear to the commotion around him, single-mindedly savoring his cigarette, puffing it leisurely with extreme pleasure.

The atmosphere inside the car was quite bizarre — the carriage filled with suffocating fear, and the front of the car graced by ridiculous absurdity; fortunately, none of it hindered Li Xiaobai’s driving.

The big truck surged forward, crushing through layers of rocks; the impact powered by the premium Spirit Stones was unimaginable.

The System panel’s values kept jumping.

[Attribute Points +100…]

[Attribute Points +100…]

The increase was quite powerful; the rocks weren’t very hard and to provide such Attribute Points was to perform well above expectation.

“What breed is this mount, Brother Ye?” Yu Sanbian asked.

“One of a kind.”

“Does it have a name?”

“Heavy-duty truck.”

“There are quite a few cultivators following us from behind; they’re probably looking for leftovers. Brother Ye, are you not going to do anything?”

“Liangchen has always enjoyed helping others in his life. To be able to lead so many cultivators and overcome difficulties together is an honor,” Li Xiaobai said.

“Woof, that’s nice, doing good deeds without seeking recognition. Kid, you have a just heart, and Ergouzi is willing to lend you a helping hand!”

Ergouzi came forward once more, trying to wrest control of the steering wheel.

“Cluck cluck, a bunch of low-level cultivators thinking they can benefit, in my opinion, we should immediately collapse the mountain, and bury all those who want to pick up scraps right here!”

Ji Wuqing seemed a bit excited, the wickedness inside yearning to break free.

“As cultivators, we should uphold the virtue of righteousness when we walk the martial world. Out there in the mix, without righteousness, people will die.”

Li Xiaobai lit a cigarette for himself too and spoke indifferently.

“Woof, kid, offer Lord Ergouzi a cigarette!”

“Cluck cluck, give one to me as well!”

The two of them, a chicken and a dog, simultaneously lit up a cigarette, as the driver’s seat once again became shrouded in smoke.

The truck’s speed kept increasing, the quality of the wall of rock ahead deteriorating rapidly, making the Attribute Points even scarcer.

[Attribute Points +50…]

[Attribute Points +30…]

Clearly, the truck had traveled more than halfway, passing the hardest rock layer and gradually heading towards the edge.

In the darkness, a few faint rays of light seemed to filter through, and the big truck was about to break through from the inside of the mountain!

“We’re going out, everybody close your eyes, don’t get blinded by the light!”
