Killing God - Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Retiredly Withdrawn
The other Floating Immortal Boats that the other Lingxiao Sect disciples were riding on were indeed worth mentioning. However, the space of a single Floating Immortal Boat could also fit all the remaining 120 people. However, it was clear that the aura of a wealthy family like Yuanshi Sect was different. Apart from the Floating Immortal Boat that the Origin Core Realm Elder was riding on, there were three other Floating Immortal Boats.

Therefore, even if there were more than ten Origin Sect disciples on each of the floating immortal boats, the space on the immortal boats was still spacious and comfortable. This left many new disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who had come to Mount Xumi for the first time speechless. One had to know that even the hundreds of people from the Ling Xiao Sect who had gone to the Hundred Mountain Realm last time had a huge floating immortal boat installed in the sect. How could there be such an imposing aura from the Origin Sect?

Shen Shi stood on one of the floating immortal boats and looked around. He discovered that none of his peers were here. On the other hand, Du Tiejian and Kang Chen were standing at the bow of the boat not far away. They seemed to be chatting with each other with a smile. Seeing their calm expressions, His expression was relaxed. Obviously, this wasn’t the first time he had seen a sect like Yuanshi Sect. Occasionally, when Origin Sect disciples passed by, they would show respect for the two of them, especially Du Tiejian, who had a conspicuous appearance. It was as if this bald senior brother’s reputation wasn’t bad in a world-famous sect like Yuanshi Sect.

Shen Shi turned around and walked to the side of the floating immortal boat. He looked out and saw the huge immortal boat galloping in the wind. Its entire body shone brightly. Countless talismans that shone with abundant spiritual energy emitted astonishing power, causing the ship to fly in the azure sky. White clouds that were as white as gauze flashed by from time to time. The Xumi Immortal Mountain in front of him was getting closer and closer. However, even though one was in midair, one could not see the peak of this Immortal Mountain from the extreme.

It was as if he was looking at a heaven-reaching dao that soared into the clouds and connected to the legendary Immortal Dimension.

“How is it? How is the scenery of Xumi Mountain?”

Shen Shi was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a gentle smile coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that Du Tiejian had walked over at some unknown time. He stood beside him and said with a smile.

Shen Shi hurriedly nodded at him and then sighed, “This Xumi Immortal Mountain is indeed worthy of being called the number one immortal mountain under the heavens. In terms of momentum alone, I’m afraid it’s not below the Golden Rainbow Mountain of our High Firmament Sect.”

Du Tiejian sneered and said nonchalantly, “What nonsense? It’s clearly much better than our Jinhong Mountain, alright?”

Shen Shi paused for a moment and smiled, “Senior Brother Du, at least we can’t lose our prestige.”

Du Tiejian chuckled as he pointed at the highest mountain in the sky. “This is the ‘Star Seizing Peak’. It is the meaning of the Star Seizing Hands on the summit of the mountain. It is the highest peak in the Xumi Mountain Range and also the most important mountain gate of the Origin Sect.” As he spoke, he slightly tilted his finger and pointed towards the surroundings of Starseizing Peak, saying,

“The Xumi Immortal Mountain stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers and occupies an extremely vast area. There are countless spirit mountains of various sizes. The most famous of them are 72 peaks. There are also some high-rise spirit veins. Just from the perspective of the Immortal Clan’s heaven and earth, this mountain gate that the Origin Sect relies on is truly the number one in the world. Our Lingxiao Sect is not comparable to it.”

Shen Shi nodded. The Xumi Immortal Mountain in front of him was indeed endless. He couldn’t accept it. However, he immediately thought of something and smiled, “But Senior Brother Du, we still have a Hundred Mountain Realm to take over. If this was included, we wouldn’t be that far off.”

Du Tiejian laughed and said, “Junior Brother Shen, don’t tell me you still don’t know?”

Shen Shi exclaimed, “What?”

Du Tiejian smiled and said, “Do you think that only our Lingxiao Sect is privately occupying a realm for your own sake?”

Shen Shi’s expression changed. He was stunned and said, “Senior Brother Du, do you mean …”

Du Tiejian curled his lips and said, “The four main sects lead the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World and are all descendants of the Six Saints of the human race. Could it be that who is worse than who? It’s not just the Ling Xiao Sect, the Origin Sect, the Heavenly Sword Palace, and the Dragon Suppressing Palace.” He smiled and said,

“Otherwise, do you really think that with just the words’ descendants of the sages’, our Four Righteous Families will be able to inherit for ten thousand years, and will continue to flourish forever? Didn’t they all rely on the ancestors of our sects to directly seize the best heavenly paradises of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm back then? Furthermore, there must be an ancient teleportation formation close to the spirit veins around them. It was as if they were all using the power of an entire realm to worship a single sect. “In this way, there will be an endless supply of spirit crystals and spirit materials. Naturally, the number of disciples in the sect will rise. Only then will there be a ten thousand year scenery of our Four Great Sects.”

Shen Shi was at a loss. He didn’t know what to say for a moment. In the end, he could only nod and sigh, “I see.”

The two of them stood side by side on the deck. Clouds rose above the ship’s side, and the wind was strong. However, they both had their own ways, and they were able to withstand the cold and strong winds that were unbearable to ordinary people. They were able to withstand it safely. At the same time, Shen Shi looked at the Starseizing Peak for a moment and asked Du Tiejian,

“Senior Brother Du, I have heard rumors since childhood that Duke Wentian, the former leader of the Six Saints, comprehended the Grand Dao at the summit of the Xumi Mountain and created a method to absorb spiritual energy from spirit crystals, thereby reversing the fate of our human race and turning the world upside down. Is this the peak of the Xumi Mountain on the Starseizing Peak?”

Du Tiejian nodded with a smile and said, “Exactly. When we arrive at the Star Seizing Peak, you will see the three statues of the Saints in Yuanshi Sect. There are also many places of interest that have been specially marked. Among them, there is an extremely famous’ Human Emperor’s Enlightenment True Rock ‘, which is the place you mentioned.”

Shen Shi nodded, but then he was a little surprised. “Apart from this place where Duke Wentian comprehended the Grand Dao, are there many other ancient names?”

Du Tiejian smiled. This time, he did not answer directly. With his straightforward personality, he actually looked around first. Then, he lowered his voice slightly and said with a mysterious smile, “Junior Brother Shen, you have never seen the world before. You don’t know what people here in Yuanshi Sect think.” There are many famous scenic spots, pavilions, ancient trees, rivers, and streams on this mountain. Almost every place you walk to, someone will be able to tell you about the origins of that place in the past. “Apart from the calligraphy of our Six Human Saints and Yuanshi Sect’s famous ancestors, there are even some ancient and famous Demon Emperors or Heavenly Yao ruins that were specially marked during the Heavenly Yao Royal Court.”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He was a little puzzled, and said, “This is strange. The Six Saints or the ancestors of the Origin Sect have circled the ancient ruins to indicate that I can understand, but why did they leave behind the demon race’s things …”

Du Tiejian smiled faintly and said with a meaningful expression in his eyes, “Ten thousand years ago, this Xumi Mountain was the Demon Emperor’s palace. Only the grandmist lord, the Demon Emperor Clan, could inhabit it it.” In the past, when the human race was acting as a demon, it was determined to become a grandmist. Duke Wen Tiangong was known as the emperor of the human race, and his merits were peerless. However, he did not take a high position and successfully retired. He lived in seclusion in the Xumi Mountain. “So over the years, many of Yuanshi Sect’s descendants have actually had the guts … well, you can guess what that thought is, right?”

As he spoke, Du Tiejian blinked at Shen Shi.

Shen Shi remained silent for a moment, and his heart trembled. He was somewhat stunned and amused. He looked at his surroundings and smiled softly, “The Human King?”

Du Tiejian smiled and nodded.

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and turned around. He didn’t know what to say for a moment, but looking at the myriad of immortal scenery in front of him, he was still somewhat shocked.

Du Tiejian took a step forward and leaned against the side of the ship. He said indifferently, “Actually, after the human race’s great victory in the past, the Six Saints’ reputation was peerless. Duke Wen Tiangong was even more impressive and respected by countless people. If he really ascended to the throne and established a thousand-year domination, it would be natural.” However, at this point, Du Tiejian looked at the peak of the Star Seizing Vanguard. A rare look of admiration appeared on his usually unruly face as he said,

“However, how can a sage be as graceful as a mortal! A hero like Duke Wen Tian who possesses unparalleled talent and the power of the heavens and earth, while all the people admire the overwhelming power of the thousand years as if they could obtain it with ease, they treat it like dust and retire without restraint while chatting and laughing. What kind of hero is this! After ten thousand years, the yearning of future generations still makes people yearn for him.”

With these simple words, Du Tiejian’s words weren’t very impulsive. However, there was a power that made people’s blood boil. A strong wind blew across his face. In front of the famous mountain, Shen Shi seemed to have seen the figure of the former Sage standing on earth. As he chatted and laughed, his opponent retreated and changed. His heart surged. He couldn’t help but say,

“Senior Brother, why didn’t we do something like this for Ancestor Gan on Golden Rainbow Mountain, such as standing like a tree?”

Du Tiejian shook his head and said, “I don’t know. It’s said that Jing Chenggong is calm and low-key. He doesn’t want his descendants to do such things, so he intentionally passed down a decree prohibiting him. Therefore, for so many years, there hasn’t even been a statue of an ancestor on Golden Rainbow Mountain.”

“Oh!” Shen Shi was just about to say something when he suddenly frowned and said, “Senior Brother, you said that a hero like Duke Wen Tian regards fame and fortune as floating clouds, but how could there be so many … things on Mount Xumi?”

Du Tiejian snorted with a hint of disdain on his face as he said, “Those things are just things that descendants have set up. It’s ridiculous to think about it. If I were to say, not only did those things not reveal the reputation of sages, but they also tarnished the faces of Sages like Duke Wentian and the others.”

Shen Shi was shocked. He thought to himself that this Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother of his was indeed arrogant and mad. He dared to say anything. If this was heard by the disciples in Yuanshi Sect, it would probably be a small disturbance. He hurriedly turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, he heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, Du Tiejian already smiled and said,

“Come on, stop looking. Nobody heard you.”

Shen Shi smiled awkwardly, but seeing that Du Tiejian didn’t care at all, he was also afraid that this fellow would say something disrespectful. He quickly changed the topic and said, “Senior Brother, did you retire after hearing that Duke Wentian founded the Origin Sect? However, you were cultivating at the ‘Enlightenment True Rock’ on the Starseizing Peak?”

After some thought, Du Tiejian shook his head and said, “That’s not true. In the past, because he admired Duke Wen Tiangong very much, I even specifically asked someone familiar with Yuanshi Sect. Oh, it’s the Yuan Xiuyu you met last time. According to what he said, Duke Wen Tiangong left the Starseizing Peak after successfully retreating. He found an ordinary mountain deep within the Xumi Mountain Range and lived in seclusion.”

“Ah!” Shen Shi said, “So it’s like this.”

Du Tiejian nodded and said, “Yes, after Duke Wen Tiangong retreated, he planted green bamboo all over the ordinary hill and lived in seclusion alone. After a long time, green bamboo grew into forest and covered the mountains and fields. However, when the mountain wind blew past, the green bamboo rose and fell like waves and tides. It was elegant and beautiful, like bamboo waves. It was a rare sight to see.”

Shen Shi leisurely looked forward to it. Du Tiejian said, “However, I heard that after Duke Wentian passed away, the descendants of the Yuan Clan and Yuanshi Sect sealed off the mountain peak. They thought that no outsiders were allowed to enter the forbidden area. Unfortunately, they were unable to go forward to look at it.”

As he spoke, Du Tiejian revealed a slightly regretful expression. Shen Shi smiled and said, “Senior Brother, I really want to go over and take a look. It’s truly a pity. Oh right, what’s the name of that mountain?”

After pondering for a moment, Du Tiejian said, “I heard Yuan Xiuyu say once that the name of that mountain was chosen by Duke Wentian himself. It is very ordinary, called the ‘Great Bamboo Peak’.”
