Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 970 Mountaineering and the New Only Specialty
Gao Yang was unaware of the Church of the Forgotten Realm's actions. At this moment, under the powerful and abundant energy of the core solution of the plane, his damaged body was rapidly recovering, along with the mental energy he had previously consumed.

In just over ten minutes, Gao Yang's previously battered body had fully recovered.

After the last tear in his chest healed, Gao Yang didn't linger and stood up immediately.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the stars representing the gods were still hanging high in the sky, which meant that the gods had not left, but had focused a lot of their attention on this place.

This gave Gao Yang a bad feeling. The scene reminded him of a pack of hyenas circling their prey, waiting for it to tire itself out.

Suppressing this thought, Gao Yang slowly walked towards the back of the immortal giant tortoise.

The Undying Giant Turtle is enormous, and its back is exceptionally flat. Only upon close inspection can one see the slight curve. The mountain it carries is located in the center of its back.

The rocks at the base of the mountain are directly connected to the carapace of the immortal giant tortoise. In the buffer zone between the carapace and the mountain, a gentle slope composed of soil and rocks, like an alluvial plain, has even been formed, with some grass and trees growing on various parts of the mountain.

Gao Yang did not fly directly to the mountain peak, but landed at the foot of the mountain.

As he arrived, a stone staircase, only one meter wide, appeared on the mountain before him, extending upwards.

Gao Yang looked at the stone steps in front of him and stepped onto them without much hesitation.

pat~
With a little effort, Gao Yang stood firmly on the steps, surrounded by complete silence.

He sensed something and subconsciously turned around to look, only to find everything in chaos. The shell of the immortal giant tortoise had vanished without a trace.

This bizarre scene did not cause Gao Yang any emotional disturbance. After glancing at it, he turned his head and looked up along the steps.

The next moment, he took a step and climbed the steps one by one towards the summit.

At the beginning of the climb, Gao Yang did not feel anything unusual.

But as he climbed higher and higher, an invisible pressure descended from above, becoming an invisible burden on his shoulders and slowing his ascent. This pressure was almost identical to the one Gao Yang had felt from the Undying Giant Tortoise.

Gao Yang was basically certain that this mountain peak and the immortal giant tortoise were both incarnations of the rules of the Forgotten Realm, and even incarnations of the same rule.

However, Gao Yang had already stopped the indestructible giant tortoise, so how could this level of pressure possibly stop him?
He simply kept climbing the steps steadily, one after another.

Half an hour later, Gao Yang stood on the steps and looked up at the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

At this moment, his location was shrouded in thick clouds and mist, both above and below, and his senses were suppressed by these clouds and mist. This left him with no reference points and he could not even determine his current location.

Gao Yang looked up. He didn't know how long it would be to the summit. He only knew that he just needed to keep moving forward.

The sense of powerlessness brought about by the chaotic distance had no effect on his mind, and did not even make him pause for a moment.

As Gao Yang continued to rise, visibility decreased, the clouds and fog grew thicker, and the pressure on his shoulders intensified.

Gao Yang's steps began to become increasingly difficult, but he remained determined.

A sharp sword intent surged in his mind, and all negative emotions that arose were instantly extinguished by the sword intent.

And so, Gao Yang continued to climb, always moving upwards. After an unknown amount of time, with one step, there were no more stone steps in front of him; instead, there was a stone platform only a few square meters in size.

Looking at the stone platform in front of him, Gao Yang realized that he had reached the summit of the mountain.

With one step, he was already standing completely on the stone platform.

wow~
As Gao Yang took a step forward, ripples appeared in the space in front of him. A few seconds later, the ripples disappeared, and a small tree, crystal clear and only one meter tall, appeared in the center of the stone platform.

The sapling was crystal clear, shimmering with a diamond-like luster. It had only three branches and no leaves. In the center of the three branches, a seemingly real yet illusory cloud of air floated.

Gao Yang looked at the ball of energy and suddenly realized that this was the legendary divine fruit, the fruit with a unique specialization.

Gao Yang walked to the small tree, looked at the ball of air in the center of the fork, and slowly reached out to grab it.

Gao Yang encountered no obstacles during this process, and he managed to grasp the seemingly real yet illusory ball of energy in his hand.

As soon as the energy cloud was acquired, a golden notification from the integrated network appeared before Gao Yang's eyes:

"Important Notice from the Comprehensive Network: The character has acquired a unique skill: ???. This unique skill has never been mastered before. Do you wish to condense it?"

Seeing the prompts on the network, Gao Yang didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to condense.

"Important Notice from the Network: Unique Specialty: ??? Initiating condensation, current condensation progress: 0.1%, estimated time required: 6 days, 23 hours, 29 minutes, and 58 seconds. Please ensure your survival during the condensation period."

As the notification appeared on the network, the ball of energy in Gao Yang's hand seemed to come alive and suddenly disappeared into his palm.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yang felt a strange energy spreading from his palms throughout his body, and then quickly subsided after spreading to his whole body.

No matter how hard Gao Yang searched, he was unable to mobilize this strange energy.

He looked at the prompt in front of him, and some questions arose in his mind.

This was the first time he had obtained a completely unknown unique skill. The three question marks were either because the unique skill had not yet been formed, or because this unique skill needed to be adapted to his personal situation, which was why it was displayed in this way.

Gao Yang muttered to himself, "It seems that we can only know the specific effects of this unique skill after it is successfully condensed."

As Gao Yang claimed this unique, unknown skill, the clouds and mist in front of them began to dissipate. In a very short time, the clouds and mist that had covered most of the mountain peak completely disappeared.

Before the clouds and mist completely dissipated, Gao Yang had already left the mountain peak, flying out from the mountainside and heading towards Milofina's location.

When Milofina saw Gao Yang rush out of the mountain and fly towards her, her eyes lit up and she quickly exclaimed, "Meow~ Gao Yang, you're finally out!"

How long was I inside?

Gao Yang placed Milofina on his shoulder and asked a question.

“A little over an hour. Look around, there are a lot of people.” Milofina answered quickly, while gesturing to Gao Yang.
