As the Universe Turns - Chapter 608
Chapter 608 Deep Mountain Demon Palace
This evening, Xiao Chen arrived at a mountain range. Looking around, he saw mountains overlapping and majestic. In the sunset, it looked like ancient god statues that stood tall here for tens of millions of years.
Upon closer inspection, there were many cliffs on the mountain. Ancient pines seemed to hang upside down on the edge of the cliff. One cave after another concealed themselves. Occasionally, rare birds and exotic beasts could be seen passing through the clouds and mist at the middle of the mountain.
I never imagined that there would be such a land of immortals hidden within the boundless mountains of this region. The flowing water and the gentle breeze were truly refreshing to the heart.
However, right now, Xiao Chen was still fleeing the pursuit of the two Elders of Tai Shi Dao Sect. He didn’t intend to watch the wonders of the mountain. He went to a spring and drank a few mouthfuls of sweet spring water. He still thought to himself, “What exactly is Tai Shi Dao Sect’s origin, what is his true purpose in chasing after him? Could it really have something to do with his own background?”
Thinking of this, he took out something from his sleeve. It was the blood jade. Inside the blood jade, a faint red light suddenly appeared. The red light from the two blood talismans that burned Tai Shi Dao Sect earlier came from the blood jade.
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but ponder. This blood jade was given to him by his master when he went down the mountain at Purple Night Peak, but why did he feel that this blood jade was connected to his bloodline every time?
Legend has it that the jade can protect the master, This blood jade protected him at the critical moment. Even when he went to the East Continent and was at sea last time, countless Immortal Devil God and Buddha shadows suddenly appeared near him that night. Fortunately, this blood jade suppressed the strange hexagonal stone plate and the countless Immortal Devil God and Buddha shadows gradually dispersed.
What exactly is this blood jade? Why does it look like even Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas who have died for tens of millions of years can be suppressed by this blood jade …
And why did the shadows of those Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas appear beside him again? It was as if those Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas that had died for tens of millions of years had been wrapped around him since the moment he was born. Why was this happening?
Thick fog shrouded the area, Regardless of his background, The ancient village was destroyed overnight, or Ning Village was slaughtered overnight. Xiao Chen was temporarily unable to undo everything. He raised his head to look at the sky and suddenly felt that the world was vast, but no one had ever been able to get out. This world was like an endless array of heaven and earth, imprisoning all living beings. Even thousands of Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas were unable to escape …
Night fell quietly. Mountains gradually merged into the night, as if they were being devoured by the endless night.
Xiao Chen gradually frowned. Six days had already passed. Presumably, Wei Yang, Madam Xian Shu, and the others had returned to Yun Chuan smoothly. Next, he had to think of a way to shake off the two people behind him. However, for some reason, this endless mountain range seemed to be truly boundless. No matter how he walked, he couldn’t get out. Could it be that it was the same as the hundred thousand dense forests?
Just as he was about to leave, two auras suddenly came from behind. Although the two auras were hidden very deeply, they were still unable to escape his keen divine sense in the depths of the mountain.
Needless to say, it was naturally Tai Shi Dao Sect’s two elders who caught up with him. At this moment, he did not hesitate to use the darkness as a cover and Ling Xian Step moved deeper into the mountain.
He didn’t know why, but these past few days, he had clearly been very careful. He tried his best to conceal his aura and didn’t leave any traces behind. However, the two people behind him seemed to be filled with resentment. No matter where he went, the two of them were still able to track him down.
Not long after, two figures appeared where he had just stood. They were Tai Shi Dao Sect’s two extremely high-level elders, Shen Quezi and Xuan Jizi.
“He was here just now. The water on the shore hasn’t dried yet, so he shouldn’t have gone far …”
Shen Quezi’s eyes narrowed as he saw the water stains on the edge of the spring. Then, he looked towards the distant mountains shrouded in the darkness of the night. At this moment, his gaze became even more sinister.
Xuan Jizi also looked towards the deep mountain range. Although their current cultivation levels were no longer comparable to ordinary people, there were taboos in the mountains. It was definitely not a good thing for them to rashly barge into the mountains. After a long time, he finally heard him say, “I always feel that there is something in the mountains. Senior Brother … Should we continue to chase inside tonight?”
Shen Quezi stared coldly at the depths of the mountain range and said gloomily, “Whether or not you can successfully step into the cave ruins this time is all up to this child. When the time comes, you will definitely step into the cave ruins after refining its soul and seizing its fortune. Heaven and earth know this matter. You know and I know it. No one else knows it. What are you hesitating about?” At the end of his sentence, two cold, lightning-like gazes fell on Xuan Jizi.
Being stared at by Senior Brother with such a cold gaze, Xuan Jizi inexplicably trembled. To him, stepping into the Cave Ruins Realm was undoubtedly extremely attractive.
However, since a hundred years ago, his cultivation had been unable to break through this shackle. If he failed again this time, his lifespan would surely be exhausted. Even if he was reincarnated, his fate had already declined by more than half in this life, and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in this life.
Even with Divine Fault’s help, he could only reach the Nascent Soul realm at most. After that, his lifespan would be exhausted and he would enter reincarnation. In the end, he would become a mortal. After reincarnation, when his luck declined completely, he could only fall into the Animal Dao. Not even a human could do so.
The path of cultivation was originally so cruel. It was definitely not as beautiful as the world had hoped. Even if one was fortunate enough to reach the Cave Ruins Realm or even the Heaven Scryer Realm, if one were to be reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation that followed, there would be nothing left. Everyone in this world wanted to become an immortal, but throughout the ages, there were only a handful of people who had truly become an immortal and become a saint.
…
Let’s talk about Xiao Chen. Seven days later, in the evening, he arrived at a deep mountain range. The originally towering ancient wooden mountain range suddenly became filled with killing intent. There were no more birds or beasts in the surroundings.
Outside the valley in front of him, layers of black mist gathered, like a demon realm. The scene was extremely terrifying.
Slowly, the sky darkened, and a bright moon rose into the sky, causing this ancient land to become even more eerie and quiet.
Xiao Chen held his breath and withdrew his aura. He carefully headed towards the valley. After passing through the layers of black mist, the scene inside was even more shocking.
There were ancient palaces built in the valley, and some of them were built on top of the mountain. Around the ancient palace, there were bones everywhere and some strange broken stone statues.
Actually, three days ago, when he was avoiding the pursuit of the two people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect, he had accidentally discovered the ancient palace here. Moreover, there was more than one ancient palace like this. There were also many similar ancient palaces nearby, all of which were paved with white bones. It was unknown what they were used for.
However, when he came during the day, he discovered that there seemed to be something immortal inside and around the ancient palace, which made him feel a little uneasy. That was why he chose to visit again at night.
Seeing this scene clearly, his intuition told him that this was not a temple that served an ancient god. Instead, it was a Demon Palace, a Demon Palace that sacrificed to an ancient Great Devil. The countless white bones nearby were probably sacrificial objects when they were alive.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but tremble deeply. He recalled that the forbidden area of the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon was already extremely terrifying in Tomb of Gods and Demons, but this place was even more terrifying than the forbidden area of the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon. What exactly was this place?
