Chapter 516
As soon as Zhang Hao returned to the base, he plunged into piles of documents.
In his study, various maps, books, and investigation reports were scattered all over the floor, and the computer screen was full of web pages about the Kunlun Mountains.
While quickly browsing the information, he picked up the phone and contacted well-informed friends, striving to gather the most detailed geographical and meteorological data about the Kunlun Mountains.
"Hey, Lao Li, do you have any detailed meteorological records of the Kunlun Mountains in recent years?"
Yes, I need it urgently!
Zhang Hao's voice echoed in the room, his forehead covered in sweat, which he ignored, his eyes fixed on an old map in his hand, as if trying to find hidden secrets within it.
The other members were also busy, taking charge of various logistical support tasks.
Some people are preparing ample food and water. Considering the extreme environment of the Kunlun Mountains, they have chosen high-calorie, easy-to-preserve foods such as compressed biscuits and energy bars.
Someone is inspecting and maintaining the vehicle to ensure that it will not break down during the long journey to Kunlun Mountain;
Others are purchasing various daily necessities and medicines, and have set up a small medical emergency station to deal with possible injuries and illnesses.
Throughout the Wu family's old residence, everyone was giving their all for the upcoming trip to Kunlun. Everyone was well aware of the arduousness of this mission, but under Zhang Hao's leadership, they were filled with confidence and courage.
Mount Kunlun, a majestic mountain range standing in the western part of China, occupies an irreplaceable core position in the mythological system and is known as the "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains" and the "Source of Dragon Veins".
It resembles a winding dragon lying across the northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, stretching over 2500 kilometers from the Pamir Plateau in the west to Qinghai Lake in the east, with a majestic and magnificent presence.
In ancient legends, Kunlun Mountain was the abode of immortals, a fairyland that mortals could hardly reach.
Besides being closely associated with legends of immortals, Kunlun Mountain is also regarded as a pillar connecting heaven and earth, and a center where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges.
Legend has it that Mount Kunlun soars into the clouds, reaching straight into the heavens, and its summit connects with the celestial court. If mortals can climb to the top of Mount Kunlun, they can touch the mysterious power of the heavens and gain extraordinary wisdom and strength.
For this reason, Kunlun Mountain has become a sacred place that countless cultivators dream of. They go to great lengths to go deep into Kunlun Mountain to cultivate in seclusion, hoping to use the spiritual energy here to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth and reach the realm of transcendence.
However, the mystery of the Kunlun Mountains goes far beyond myths and legends; its precipitous terrain and extreme climate are equally awe-inspiring.
The mountain range has an average elevation of over 5500 meters, with numerous peaks, including Kongur Tagh at 7649 meters, Kongur Jiubie at 7530 meters, and Muztagh Ata at 7509 meters. These peaks are covered in ice and snow all year round, and under the sunlight, they shimmer with dazzling silver light, resembling sacred and inviolable ice and snow palaces.
Between the mountain peaks are bottomless glacial canyons, which are like wounds torn open by the earth. The cold wind howls at the bottom of the valleys, and glaciers crisscross the land. If one is not careful, he will fall into the abyss of no return.
……
Inside the room at the Hangzhou base, Zhang Hao stood quietly by the window, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His gaze, seen through the window, pierced through layers of clouds and mountains, as if directed directly towards the distant Kunlun Mountains.
Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually faded from his ears; at this moment, his world consisted only of that mysterious snow-capped mountain.
In his golden-red pupils, flames flickered slightly, a testament to the burning desire within him to explore the unknown.
The bloodline of the Primordial Qilin surged within him, resonating with his heartbeat, as if echoing the mysterious call from the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.
He could clearly feel that a wonderful and close connection was being established between himself and the Kunlun Mountains, a resonance that transcended time and distance, as if his destiny, from this moment on, was tightly intertwined with that of the ancestor of all mountains.
"The Great Wilderness... Heavenly Gate... Ancient Gods..."
Zhang Hao murmured softly, his voice deep and firm.
These mysterious words, like burning flames, ignited the fighting spirit deep within his heart.
He knew that the journey to Kunlun he was about to embark on would be filled with countless hardships and unknown challenges, but there was no fear in his eyes, only unwavering determination and the courage to burn his bridges.
He believed that hidden atop the snow-covered Kunlun Mountains was not only the key to unlocking the secrets of the bronze box, but also a crucial clue to the fate of the entire world.
He clenched his fists, as if making a vow to fate, or as if gathering the power within him.
He knew that he bore the mission passed down through generations of the Zhang family, and also carried the hope of fighting against the ancient gods and protecting the peace of the world.
Whatever awaits him ahead, he will forge ahead bravely and never back down.
In his heart, the Kunlun Mountains are no longer just a mountain range in a geographical sense, but also a sacred battlefield for him to fulfill his mission and explore the truth.
