The ninety-nine mountains here seemed to be very mystical. Every mountain that one cultivated on was able to obtain a mysterious power that allowed one's strength to greatly improve.
And in the rumors, the ninety-nine Holy Mountain were originally one body, therefore, there was a long rumored rumor circulating within the Xiao Family that if someone gathered all the power within the ninety-nine Holy Mountain, an extremely terrifying person would appear in the Xiao Family, and lead the Xiao Family to a completely new height.
Therefore, for so many years, within every generation of Xiao Family, there had to be many geniuses that were selected by their families and sent into the Holy Mountain to cultivate, in an attempt to have someone do this.
These were not things that had happened in recent years.
However, although the power within the Holy Mountain was strong and could allow a person's strength to increase quickly, it was not something that everyone could endure.
It was just like those Training Ground stations. Some people could stay inside to cultivate for a long time, and there were also some people who could not hold on for even a moment longer.
In fact, the existence of Xiao Family was precisely to measure who among the later generation had a high chance of success in cultivating Xiao Family.
Until now, the ten people selected by the Xiao Family were all formidable geniuses who maintained terrifying records in the major Training Ground s. Only such people had the qualifications to be sent into the Holy Mountain.
As for the ordinary people within the Xiao Family, even if they were given the chance to enter, they might just die. This was because the powers within the Holy Mountain, while being powerful, were also extremely terrifying at the same time.
Furthermore, in the ten thousand year history of the Xiao Family, countless people have ever entered the Holy Mountain to cultivate it. But up till now, there had never been a person who was able to cultivate all ninety-nine Holy Mountain once, obtaining all of their mysterious strength.
According to Xiao Zi, the mysterious power on every mountain of Holy Mountain would bring about a kind of pressure to the human body. These pressures were all the same on every mountain, with no difference in strength.
However, when one obtains the power of a certain mountain, and continues to cultivate on the next mountain, the pressure would double, and the more Holy Mountain one obtains, the greater the pressure would be on the next mountain.
Based on this, the power of the next mountain would be multiplied with each additional mountain. It was almost impossible to cultivate on all ninety-nine mountains.
To train in the first mountain, one had to double the pressure, the second had to double the pressure, the third had to quadruple the pressure, and the fourth had to be eight times the pressure.
The pressure from the Holy Mountain continued to increase at this rate until the ninety-ninth mountain, where this pressure was already incomparably terrifying, and practically no one could withstand it. Thus, throughout all the years of the Xiao Family, no one had been able to truly succeed.
"Because those who have just entered the Holy Mountain bear the least amount of pressure, their cultivation speed is also the fastest." Xiao Zi and Xiao Yu explained quite a bit, and then said, "Therefore, every time the family picked a new person to enter the opposing mountain, the family would always pay great attention to it. They would want to see how many mountain peaks the first time you enter the mountain, and how much Holy Mountain you can obtain in one go."
Xiao Yu now understood that since it was his first time entering the Holy Mountain, he would be the fastest to train. Thus, he did not need to linger on a certain mountain peak for a long time, he could cultivate it all at once.
To a certain extent, the number of mountains that this person could cultivate on indicated that he would be able to obtain the power of several Holy Mountain in the future.
Having entered the Holy Mountain for so many years, there were countless people. They definitely already had a rough estimate in their hearts, and they were able to deduce a person's potential from the first time they entered the mountain.
The power of Holy Mountain, was related to the fate of the Xiao Family. Whether it was stronger than what was currently happening, it was a matter of course that they would pay attention to.
Furthermore, the person who was about to enter the Holy Mountain right now, and was even a Unfilial Son that the clan had brought back from the outside world? Of course they wanted to know.
"When you first entered the Holy Mountain, how many mountains did you go through?" Xiao Yu could not help but ask. He also wanted to know the standard for entering Holy Mountain for the first time.
"Me? Hehe, I've crossed ten mountains in one breath, amazing right? " When Xiao Zi heard it, he immediately became complacent and revealed a proud expression.
"Then when we first entered the Holy Mountain, what was the record for the highest number of people who passed through the mountain peaks?" Xiao Yu asked again.
"This ?" Xiao Zi's face suddenly revealed a strange expression, and said: "If I told you, you might not believe me, but this record, at the very beginning it was 27, but this record was broken by someone of our generation!"
"What?" Xiao Yu could not help but be shocked.
Traveling 27 peaks in a row was already an astonishing record. One had to know that every mountain would double the pressure. Continuously traversing this number of peaks was already quite terrifying.
Furthermore, Xiao Family had existed for a period of time, and it seemed that it was no less than the history of the Xiao Family. Most likely, it had already been ten thousand years, so for this record to be able to be sustained for so long was evidently astonishing.
However, such an astonishing record was actually broken in this generation. In this generation of Xiao Family, just what kind of terrifying genius had emerged?
"Right, there's also the Xiao Chen that you've seen before. Although he did not break the record, he had almost caught up to him by now, and when he first entered the Holy Mountain, he had cultivated to the twenty-fifth peak."
Xiao Zi's words made Xiao Yu exclaim in shock, it seemed like this person who broke the record was an extremely monstrous genius, even though he had only broken a few mountain records, each and every one of these mountains represented a pressure twice as strong.
In addition, after reaching these thirty peaks, the pressure increased unceasingly. With each additional peak, the increase in the pressure would be terrifying.
It was just that he did not expect Xiao Chen to be so strong as well, to the point that he nearly tied the previous records.
"However, these are all the records for the first time that I have entered the Holy Mountain, and as for now, the person who goes furthest has already trained on the sixty-six mountain peaks, and is the person who broke the record. Although Xiao Chen went to the Heavenly Abyss once, right now, he already has the strength of fifty-seven mountain peaks."
Xiao Zi thus decided to explain the various situations on the Holy Mountain to Xiao Yu.
After hearing all these, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. It seems like the reason Xiao Chen had such strength was not from nowhere, it was most likely due to the contribution of his Holy Mountain.
This also made him somewhat curious about Holy Mountain. What kind of power was it that could cause Xiao Family to place so much importance on it?
Furthermore, in the past ten thousand years, every generation would choose people to enter the Holy Mountain, as if they had a strong obsession with gathering the power of the ninety-nine mountains.
It was as if they had been waiting for a single person to conquer all 99 mountains. But what exactly was the meaning behind that?
