Chapter 2582 Blood Sacrifice (Part 1)
The path in front is very easy to walk on. Many steep sections have steps built on it, and some places have ropes to facilitate passage.

In some places, pools have been built next to the steps to provide water for hikers when they are thirsty, which is quite thoughtful.

Besides, the road ahead is no longer barren, but a colorful and fragrant landscape with all kinds of flowers and plants blooming brilliantly.

However, there were still no large wild animals.

In some areas, small temples have been built where hikers can rest and offer incense when they are tired.

Upon encountering temples, no matter how small, Lin Mu shattered them all. This enraged the snake, causing it to hiss and grind its teeth…

"I thought there would be many treasures in this Mount Fuji, the number one mountain in Japan, but I didn't expect there to be nothing but ore... not even a chicken... speechless." Dian Wei looked at the mountain scenery rushing by, holding Ji Beiqin in his hand, and sighed with emotion.

It looks like a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, but the birds are all very small and very fast, making them impossible to catch and roast.

"It's not just you, I also thought that Mount Fuji would have some precious resources or even local specialties... I even prepared spatial artifacts to plunder them... but I didn't expect it to turn out like this," Lin Mu said regretfully.

“Those Japanese must know about the situation at Mount Fuji, which is why they have designs on the Yamata no Orochi,” Dian Wei said in a deep voice.

"It's quite possible. The Yamata no Orochi has ruined so many precious things and destroyed so much hope by turning a sacred mountain into this state," Huang Zhong sighed softly.

They had been to Mount Tai, a place transformed into a fairyland by its spirit, filled with all sorts of rare treasures that they coveted. Even a random pool of unusual water in a mountain stream was an invaluable spiritual object.

The power of rules on Mount Fuji is abundant, and it should gather the spiritual energy of the world in Japan. With its rich spiritual energy, it resembles a blessed land. If Mount Fuji is managed well, it could become a kind of "Mount Tai" in the Japanese region.

"The Yamata no Orochi is short-sighted, savage, and ruthless, lacking any sense of harmony. It is fierce and brutal," Lin Mu commented on the Yamata no Orochi.

"With such a monster entrenched in the Fuji Mountains, the development of Japan is naturally severely hampered." Ji Beiqin shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"I wonder what those top cultivators in Japan have been doing all these years, letting the Yamata no Orochi run rampant." Huang Zhong frowned, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

They have long known that there are higher-level beings on the island of Dongying, and the Heavenly Dao has also restricted them.

"Perhaps they are willing but powerless. The Yamata no Orochi is incredibly powerful and ferocious; how easy is it to eliminate it?" Dian Wei said slowly. He knew all too well how difficult it was for ordinary generals to fight the powerful Yamata no Orochi. Moreover, he didn't think those guys were much stronger than the Yamata no Orochi.

"Now that Orochi's situation is a bit bad, those guys are starting to kick him while he's down," Lin Mu said meaningfully, gripping his spear tightly.

"Xiao Mu, look ahead, isn't there something glowing?" Just then, Ji Beiqin, who had been looking around looking for treasure, spotted something.

Lin Mu followed Ji Beiqin's gaze and saw a light source emitting a faint glow.

"It's Nuwa's Treasure Chest!!" Dian Wei's sharp eyes spotted the source of light hidden in the cracks of the rocks far away at a glance.

"A Heavenly Treasure Chest!" Huang Zhong gave a more specific answer.

"I was the first to find it, mine!!" Ji Beiqin exclaimed with ecstasy.

The Heavenly Nuwa Treasure Chest is a top-tier treasure that has never been circulated on the market. Even if it were, Lin Mu would have secretly acquired it using cultivation technique learning slots or money.

Finally, we're seeing results!
Ji Beiqin stared intently at Lin Mu, awaiting his answer. After all, Lin Mu was the one who had led him on this adventure; Lin Mu was the true master. He was simply excited.

"What you see is yours," Lin Mu replied confidently. After all, the man was his brother-in-law, so he had to look after him. If it were Jiang Chenglong or others, or even someone as familiar as Beitang Xue, they wouldn't have taken the Heavenly Treasure Chest so lightly.

However, for some reason, Ji Beiqin kept discovering treasure chests and even some open-pit mines along the way. If Dian Wei hadn't been carrying him, this guy might have even kicked a rock and found spirit stones...

After taking the Red Dragon's head, my luck improved!
Ji Beiqin gradually realized that something was wrong with his luck.

Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, and the others following behind seemed to know something, their eyes fixed on Ji Beiqin, which made Ji Beiqin a little uneasy.

"Once I've finished defeating Orochi, I'll have to use the Dragon Sealing Scroll to get some of his Dragon Luck," Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Lin Mu didn't know exactly how much Dragon Luck he had gained; he would have to ask Ji Beiqin about it later.

However, judging from the numerous unclaimed dragon veins near the Temple of Heaven, there are quite a few!

However, at the moment of its final act, the Crimson Dragon must have transferred some of its dragon fortune to Liu Bian. Therefore, the exact amount is unknown.

However, Ji Beiqin is unlikely to lie about this.

Dian Wei was also staring at Ji Beiqin with a strange look in his eyes. If Ji Beiqin wasn't his lord's brother-in-law, he would have already made his move.

"General Dian Wei, hehe, be careful, my head almost hit a rock." Ji Beiqin could certainly sense the green light in Dian Wei's eyes.

"Go and collect the Xuan-level treasure chest quickly." Dian Wei suddenly tossed Ji Beiqin into a distant dead tree stump, where a glowing treasure chest was placed.

Dian Wei's force was actually quite measured. Although Ji Beiqin was thrown over, he landed very lightly. He glanced around furtively and then sneakily put the treasure chest away.

"Xiao Mu, is my good luck due to the Dragon Luck?" Ji Beiqin asked Lin Mu in a low voice after quickly returning, shrinking back.

"Yes... don't die... otherwise half of them will be gone. If they are killed by the Yamata no Orochi, they might all be gone..." Lin Mu said meaningfully.

“Then…then I’ll give you the Dragon Luck, I have…” Ji Beiqin was about to confess when Lin Mu interrupted him. “Don’t talk about that yet…”

"We'll talk about it when we get back to the China region," Lin Mu said in a low voice with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Xiao Mu, look at that lewd expression on your face, are you trying to use me as a pawn?" Ji Beiqin wasn't stupid, and immediately guessed Lin Mu's intentions.

"Huh? Lewd... No way... That was a genuine smile, a smile of harvest..." Lin Mu said seriously.

"Tch..." After possessing so much dragon luck, his sixth sense seemed to have been activated. He had a feeling that Lin Mu harbored ill intentions towards him. Of course, not the kind of ill intentions an enemy would have, but something like a white lie or something...

“Your luck has been activated. When we go up the mountain later, you can continue to wander around the area and see if you can find anything,” Lin Mu said seriously.

Based on Lin Mu's experience, the luck brought by the Dragon's Luck does indeed have an activation period; it's not that your luck will immediately improve after you receive the Dragon's Luck.

Otherwise, how come Ji Beiqin hadn't discovered those treasure chests and items before...?

"Xiao Mu, you must have some dragon luck on you, so why does your luck seem so bad?" Ji Beiqin asked thoughtfully.

"You think recruiting historical figures and renowned scholars comes without a price?"

“In the mythological world, Liu Bei’s life of wandering, hiding, and wasting half his life was actually because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suppressed him,” Lin Mu confessed to Ji Beiqin in a low voice.

"Historical generals and famous figures... Among us players, besides you, only Zhi, Xuanyuan Changying, and Jiang Chenglong have ever obtained any decent historical generals. Even third-rate ones haven't been recruited... Speechless..." Ji Beiqin complained.

“When your foundation and status reach a certain level, you will… If Dong Zhuo doesn’t go too far, there is something you can actually trade with him for. Of course, Dragon Luck is out of the question. We’ll discuss the trade with them when we get back to the China region,” Lin Mu said solemnly.

"Oh... okay." Ji Beiqin frowned and said.

"Let's go on our way."

The group continued their ascent towards the summit.

While Lin Mu spent a considerable amount of time climbing to the summit, the Yamata no Orochi was nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, on the mountainside altar plaza, the enormous body of the Yamata no Orochi, exuding a strong smell of blood and stench, appeared at the edge of the cliff.

The instant it appeared, an arrow carrying terrifying power suddenly appeared from the void and slammed directly into one of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi.

However, just as the arrow was about to strike the Yamata no Orochi, it suddenly sank down, its entire body nimbly dodging and shrinking down the cliff, thus avoiding the arrow.

"Hiss... Didn't I notice that you split up? Heh... You want to ambush me? No way!" the Yamata no Orochi roared.

As it spoke, its eyes swept over the famous Japanese generals in the distant square, a fierce glint in them.

"Hmph! We're not here to kill you, but to force you back to the mountaintop!" Guo Jia's voice rang out, and the next moment a huge black shadow was seen slashing directly at the cliff.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are too stupid. Mount Fuji is my sacred ground. Do I only teleport in these two places?"

The next moment, before the Yamata no Orochi could finish speaking, it vanished in a flash of white light...

"Damn it! Damn it! Chase after them!!!" Guo Jia stomped his foot, furious and embarrassed.

The next moment, he led Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun directly in a certain direction. That was the direction they had climbed earlier.

On the other side of the huge sacrificial plaza, the historical warlords of Japan watched all this unfold without lifting a finger.

However, the fierce look in the Yamata no Orochi's eyes before it disappeared sent a chill down their spines...

"Should we continue to carry out its orders?" Honda Tadakatsu asked through gritted teeth.

“Keep bringing people up. The altar must be used for a blood sacrifice; it's related to that plan,” Uesugi Kenshin said in a low voice.

“Alright, the wicked have been brought here,” Honda Tadakatsu said solemnly.

"Hehehe... Our country offers tribute to the wicked, while I've heard that you arrest civilians over there..." a figure hidden in a black robe said in a low voice.

"Hmph... What's it to you..."

"Hypocritical bastards... they're disgusting..."

"What did you say? Do you believe I'll chop you up?"

A minor conflict arose among the Japanese people.

Although they knew that the islands of Japan had been divided into so many clan states, over the years, the various families would surely have accumulated hatred, some of which may have developed into blood feuds, or even irreconcilable enmities.

It's already quite commendable that they could set aside their irreconcilable hatred at this critical juncture and only resort to verbal mockery.
