Chapter 850: Xuanmeng Mountain
This cave was where the general demon skull was sealed. There was still gray ghost mist coming out from it.
Liu Ming looked into the cave for a while, then he closed his eyes again.
After a while, he moved into the depths of the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and the yin wind was biting. He flew for about 15 minutes before he came to a cave that was about acres of s.p.a.ce.
But the depths of the cave were still pitch black, but the ground was black sandy ground with faint white bones. The 8 collapsed stone pillars were in the middle.
Liu Ming frowned slightly as he looked at these crystal clear black sand grains. There seemed to be black air flowing in them.
“This is crimson yin sand, which can only be found in the land of yin qi!” Liu Ming muttered to himself. He immediately released Divine Thought to sense deeper.
“Sure enough!”
More than 300 meters away, there was a stone cave, in which there was still a black sandy land mixed with white bones. There were 7 red and 1 green stone pillars that were still intact there.
Liu Ming continued to release Divine Thought, and he found that there was an invisible enchantment blocking his Divine Thought.
At the same time, a deep resentment pa.s.sed through this enchantment to Liu Ming’s Divine Thought.
It seemed that there was also a ma.s.s grave, but there was no such powerful ghost creature as the general demon skull, so the seal was still intact.
Liu Ming withdrew his Divine Thought with admiration and mixed emotions.
After a while, he made a gesture and flew out of the cave.
A quarter of an hour later, he stood near a deep cool pool on the back of Qinggang Mountain. At the bottom of the cool pool, there were also 8 red jade pillars.
After half an hour. Liu Ming found the fourth pillars of sealing in a deep forest on the west side of Qinggang Mountain.
“So this is the case. There are 4 ma.s.s graves in the Qinggang Mountain where ghosts were born, all of which were sealed by Cultivator Ye. Fortunately, only 1 has been broken through. If all the seals are broken, the East Yue Region will suffer.” Liu Ming muttered as he looked at the scene in front.
Although he only used Divine Thought to probe for a bit, he could still feel it clearly. The evil yin qi in the remaining 3 ma.s.s graves was also extremely heavy. The number of ghosts was tens of thousands.
Fortunately, the other 3 seals were still fine, and there was no Real Pellet State ghost creature born in them, so Liu Ming of course wouldn’t touch the seal.
Liu Ming sighed secretly, but he seemed to feel a sense of anxiety as if something was missing.
At this moment, a black cloud flew from a distance and landed beside Liu Ming. It was Bone Scorpion.
“Master.” Xie’er stood behind him. The boy she was holding was still asleep.
Liu Ming glanced at the boy. His aura had now stabilized, but he had just opened his spiritual eyes, so he consumed too much soul power. He would have to stay asleep for a few days.
“The matter here is over, let’s go.” Liu Ming said, taking another look at Qinggang Mountain.
Soon, a crimson escape light shot out from the foot of the main peak of Qinggang Mountain and flew away. It disappeared from the horizon in just a few seconds.
…
Chen Kingdom. The entire land looked long and narrow looking from the sky, which looked like a giant dragon. It wasn’t a big kingdom in the Middle Sky Continent, but it had rich resources and its population was prosperous. Its national strength was not weak either.
There were many mountains in the Chen Kingdom, and the spirit was relatively abundant. In the past tens of thousands of years, many sects and families had been attracted to settle in it.
Among them, the most famous was undoubtedly the Ouyang Family, which was listed as 1 of the 8 great families in the Middle Sky Continent.
The Xuanmeng Mountain Range where Ouyang Family was located was the first mountain in the Chen Kingdom. It almost stretched past the entire kingdom, so it was also called “Dragon Spine” and was also a famous spiritual mountain holy land in the Middle Sky Continent.
At this moment, it was early in the morning. Looking around, huge peaks as high as 3000 meters appeared in the field of vision.
Around these peaks, there were countless large and small houses, palaces and pavilions. From time to time, one could see colorful escape lights flying between the peaks. This was a prosperous scenery.
On a mountain peak outside the Xuanmeng Mountain, a row of exquisite attics was built against the mountain. A golden plaque was hung above the pavilion with the 2 lacquered gold characters “Reception Pavilion” written on it.
With a “creak“, the door was opened. Liu Ming, dressed in green clothes, walked out with a slight frown.
He walked along the corridor for a while and came to a s.p.a.cious hall.
“Mr. Liu, how was your rest last night?” In the lobby, a middle-aged man in a purple robe hurriedly got up to meet Liu Ming when he saw Liu Ming.
“Xuanmeng Mountain is a rare holy mountain in the Middle Sky Continent. This place is really full of spirit. I had a good rest indeed.”
A faint smile appeared on Liu Ming’s face, but he immediately changed the topic,
“But I’m here to visit Senior Ouyang Ying for an important matter. May I know when I can see him?”
“I have reported Mr. Liu’s matter to the patriarch, but Elder Ying has been involved in important matters recently. I’m afraid that he will not have time to meet with Mr. Liu.” The middle-aged man in a purple robe showed an apologetic smile.
“Well, it seems that I really came at the wrong time.” Liu Ming smiled bitterly when he heard the words.
“But the patriarch specially instructed me to let Mr. Liu to stay here for a few more days. If mister is bored of living in the Reception Pavilion, I can also arrange for someone to bring mister to visit the Xuanmeng Mountain. Although the scenery is not as good as Taiqing Sect’s Thousands Spirit Mountain, the 9 peaks and 9 valleys in the mountains also have their own characteristics.” The middle-aged man in a purple robe said with a slight smile.
“Thank you for your kindness, but before I see Elder Ying, I really can’t enjoy this view.” Liu Ming cupped his fist and left.
The middle-aged man in a purple robe watched Liu Ming walk out of the hall. After a moment of silence, he took out a voice transmission disk array and whispered a few words to it. It flashed with a white light, then it returned to normal again.
On the other side, Liu Ming walked slowly in the corridor with a hint of depression in his eyes.
He had been to the Xuanmeng Mountain for 3 days. After stating his intentions, he was arranged to stay at the Reception Pavilion. The token that Ying Jiuling gave him was also handed to the seniors of the Ouyang Family, but he hadn’t even seen a senior of the Ouyang Family, let alone Elder Ouyang Ying.
Although the middle-aged deputy who received him seemed to talk normally, Liu Ming still felt neglected.
This made him think secretly about the reasons.
An Ouyang Family disciple in a purple robe came over. After seeing Liu Ming, he bowed respectfully and continued to walk over.
These disciples of the Reception Pavilion were really polite. It seemed that they had been specially trained.
“Forget it, let’s wait for another 2 days. I don’t know if Ouyang Qian is in this Xuanmeng Mountain. If I still can’t see Ouyang Ying after 2 days, it’s better to visit her first.” He let out a sigh of relief as he planned so in his mind.
After all, this was the Ouyang Family. As an outsider, he really didn’t have much choice.
After the Tianmen Convention, he was acquainted with these 2 female cultivators.
With this thought in mind, he quickly returned to the guest room.
Ouyang Family was the 8 great families of the Middle Sky Continent, so its reception wouldn’t be too stingy.
Although there was only 1 guest room here, it was divided into 3 rooms; the living room, bedroom, and quiet room.
“Mr. Liu.”
At this moment, the boy from the Ye Family was sitting in the living room honestly. When he saw Liu Ming coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. His voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e.
Liu Ming nodded, walked to the chair in the living room and sat down.
This boy was the orphan of the Ye Family. He didn’t think much about it at the time and took him with him, but he really didn’t know what to do about him.
“Ye Hao, come and sit down.” Liu Ming pointed to the chair beside.
Hearing this, the boy sat down very obediently.
“These days, I have also told you a lot about what happened in your village. I want to ask you what you plan to do in the future?” Liu Ming thought about his vocabulary and tried to make it clearer.
“Hao’er is willing to listen to mister’s arrangements!”
When the boy heard Liu Ming mentioning the village, his expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he lowered his head again.
“Since you think so, that’s okay! Now I give you 2 choices. One is to take you back to my sect, which can help you embark on the road of cultivation. But I want to make it clear to you in advance that it’s not an easy way. Although it will bring you a certain amount of strength and a longer lifespan, it will also be accompanied by endless dangers, which may kill you at any time.” Liu Ming nodded and said.
Hearing this, the boy raised his head immediately.
“The second way is to send you to an ordinary mortal village, which is similar to your village. I will take care of you in the future and will not make you suffer. You can live there at ease.”
After Liu Ming said this, he looked at Ye Hao quietly, waiting for a reply.
Ye Hao opened his mouth, trying to digest what Liu Ming said.
Liu Ming was not in a hurry. He poured a cup of spiritual tea and drank it slowly while waiting.
Ye Hao looked uncertain. After a long time, he looked determined.
“Mr. Liu, I think it over, I want to cultivate like you!”
“This is about your life’s choice. You don’t need to reply to me immediately. I will stay here for a few days. You can think about it.” Liu Ming frowned and said lightly.
“No, I have already thought very clearly, I want to be like you and my ancestors! Grandpa told me when he was alive, he said that I… I will be the Ye Family’s hope!” When mentioning the word “hope”, Ye Hao’s little face was full of determination.
TL: He can’t be adopting him right? He can’t be a good father xD as he tends to be always missing
