Chapter 223 - 223 Mountain Tomb Area!
223 Mountain Tomb Area!
The Penglai family’s ship was extremely fast.
Half a day later, they arrived at the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
At this moment, Lin Wudao’s gaze swept across the void. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
“Clan Leader Xiao, I need to go find an old friend to reminisce about the old days. You guys head to the Taicang Ancestral Land first.”
After saying that, before Xiao Jinglun and the others could react, Lin Wudao took a step forward and instantly disappeared.
A moment later, when he reappeared, he was already at the Heishan Mountain where the Heishan Old Demon was.
Just now, the so-called old friend he was talking about was naturally the Heishan Old Demon, Hu Shatian.
Previously, he had been busy benefitting from the Buried Dragon Secret Realm and destroying the Shangqing Sword Palace. As such, he had almost forgotten about the Heishan Old Demon.
Now, since he had come to the Myriad Great Mountain Range, he could take this opportunity to do what he had promised.
After all, he was a hidden peerless expert. This image could not be ruined.
…
In the main hall of the secret realm in Heishan Mountain, the Heishan Old Demon was leaning on a chair in boredom. There were many wine jars scattered on the ground under his feet, and his face looked a little haggard.
He did not look like a Demon King at all.
“Senior, where are you? You said before that you would recommend me to the True Martial Divine Palace to break through past the Divine Mansion realm. The Paramita Divine Flower is gone, and now even you are gone. I’ve worked hard for thousands of years, but in the end, it’s all in vain. Hahaha…”
In the empty hall, the Heishan Old Demon let out a sorrowful laugh.
Boom!
After saying that, he downed the wine in his gla.s.s in one gulp and then smashed the gla.s.s on the “Hu Shatian greets Senior. I didn’t know that Senior would come. I hope you can forgive me.”
14:45
He kept kowtowing.
ground to vent the anger in his heart.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao smiled faintly and immediately appeared in front of him with the image of an expert.
“What, are you resentful of me?”
Huh? Senior?
The sudden dignified voice startled the Heishan Old Demon awake.
Thump!
When he saw that it was Lin Wudao, his drunkenness instantly dissipated and was replaced by boundless fear and joy. He immediately knelt and kowtowed heavily.
“Hu Shatian greets Senior. I didn’t know that Senior would come. I hope you can forgive me.”
He kept kowtowing.
“Get up.”
He waved his sleeves and a majestic power surged out, lifting the Heishan Old Demon from the ground.
“Some time ago, I was delayed by something. I happened to be in the Myriad Great Mountain Range today, so I thought of you and came over to take a look.”
As he spoke, Lin Wudao raised his hand and pointed. A petal of the Paramita Divine Flower instantly appeared in front of the Heishan Old Demon.
“My words carry weight. Since I said that I would help you break through past the Divine Mansion realm, I naturally won’t go back on my word. Swallow and refine this Paramita Divine Flower first. Then, I’ll help you break through the shackles of the Divine Mansion realm and help you advance to the Divine Strength realm.”
“Yes! Thank you, Senior!”
Dong, dong, dong!
As Lin Wudao’s voice fell, the Heishan Old Demon was extremely excited. The depression in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Whoosh!
After taking a few deep breaths, he swallowed the Paramita Divine Flower. Then, he circulated the demonic power in his body and began to refine it crazily.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Two hours later, with the help of the magical power of the Paramita Divine Flower, the Divine Mansion of the Heishan Old Demon had expanded tenfold. He looked refreshed and his eyes shone with divine light.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao didn’t dawdle.
Boom!
He waved his sleeves, and the Great Desolation Cauldron appeared in the air. Then, he put the Heishan Old Demon inside.
“Don’t panic. The place you are in now is the internal s.p.a.ce of an Extreme Dao weapon. Next, I’ll activate the power of the Extreme Dao weapon and forcefully break your shackles. You only need to focus on guarding your mind. Leave the rest to me.”
As he spoke, Lin Wudao immediately activated the Great Desolation Cauldron, causing it to emit a vast and mighty Extreme Dao aura, which instantly swallowed the Heishan Old Demon.
“Ah!”
To the Heishan Old Demon, Extreme Dao power was terrifying.
If he relied on himself, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. In the end, he would definitely be obliterated.
However, now that Lin Wudao had complete control of the Great Desolation Cauldron, the power he activated naturally would not pose a threat or harm to the Heishan Old Demon.
On the contrary, it was beneficial.
Rumble!
As the mighty aura of the Extreme Dao washed over him, the bones, muscles, and flesh of the Heishan Old Demon were undergoing a qualitative transformation.
Thump!
Finally, after half a day, he broke through the shackles of the Divine Mansion realm and successfully stepped into the Divine Strength realm.
In an instant, terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky.
“Thank you for your kindness, Senior!”
The Heishan Old Demon kowtowed crazily. His words were filled with endless surprise and grat.i.tude.
He had waited for thousands of years for this day. Now, he had finally gotten what he wanted.
…
“Get up. This is the result of your hard work. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not mistreat you. Next, I’ll give you a mission. You must subdue all the other Demon Kings in the Myriad Great Mountain Range within ten days. Can you do it?”
“Senior, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do this in less than three days!”
The Heishan Old Demon patted his chest and promised.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded in satisfaction.
“I’m not worried about your ability. In that case, I’ll leave the Myriad Great Mountain Range to you. When I’m done with my matters, I’ll come and find you.”
After saying that, Lin Wudao said a few more words before disappearing.
Looking at his departing back, the Heishan Old Demon’s eyes were filled with respect and reverence.
“To be able to meet Senior in this life is really my greatest fortune. The Myriad Great Mountain Range has been divided for tens of thousands of years. Next, it’s my turn to have a taste as the Demon Emperor. Hahaha!”
He let out a heaven-shaking laugh.
It wasn’t until a long time later that he walked out of the secret realm. With a powerful aura, he held the Seven Kills Demonic Blade and headed for the territories of the other nine Demon Kings.
He had thus begun down the path of the emperor to unify the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
…
Lin Wudao was not clear about the actions of the Heishan Old Demon.
Whoosh!
After he left Heishan Mountain, he followed the footsteps of many cultivators, all the way to the depths of the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
In the end, he successfully found Xiao Jinglun and the others.
They were now in the deepest part of the Myriad Great Mountain Range, and there was an ancient and huge lake beneath their feet.
The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror, hence the name Mirror Lake.
At this moment, with Mirror Lake as the center, there were many cultivators everywhere. Lin Wudao swept a glance and found that there were hundreds of thousands of them.
In fact, there was no lack of powerful existences among them.
With a casual glance, Lin Wudao saw many cultivators in the Divine Mansion realm, Divine Strength realm, and even Divine Vein realm.
All of them were staring at the Mirror Lake beneath their feet.
“Just what is so mysterious about this Taicang Ancestral Land that it can attract so many cultivators?”
Lin Wudao was puzzled.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinglun chuckled.
“City Lord, you don’t know this, but the Taicang Ancestral Land is actually called the Mountain Mausoleum Area. It was originally transformed and evolved from a small world that had collapsed. In the end, it formed an independent Grotto-Heaven. The true origin of the Mountain Mausoleum Area has long been untraceable, but it is said that it can be traced back to ancient times. Due to the erosion of time, the glorious Mountain Mausoleum Area has completely declined and become an ordinary blessed land.”
“After that, there was once a powerful existence from the Taicang family who swept away all obstacles and unified the Mountain Mausoleum Area. In the end, he established a country within the Mountain Mausoleum Area. That is the Taicang Ancient Kingdom of yesteryear. The Taicang Ancient Kingdom experienced a total of twenty-two generations of rulers, pa.s.sed down for a total of nineteen thousand six hundred and fifty-two years.”
“However, due to some unknown reason, the Taicang Ancient Kingdom fell and all the experts died. After losing the suppression of the Taicang Ancient Kingdom, the Mountain Mausoleum Area fell apart once again and fell into an endless war. In the end, everything returned to the ruins,” Xiao Jinglun explained slowly.
Through him, Lin Wudao learned about the Mountain Mausoleum Area and the details of the Taicang Ancient Kingdom.
“I heard that since the founding of the Taicang Ancient Kingdom, eighty thousand years have pa.s.sed, right?”
“Yes.”
“After such a long time, there are still opportunities in Mountain Mausoleum Area?”
Lin Wudao was curious.
“Of course! City Lord, the Mountain Mausoleum Area is very big, and its mystery is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Even the former Taicang Ancient Kingdom did not dare to say that they could completely understand the Mountain Mausoleum Area. There are many places that they didn’t dare to go.”
“From the Taicang Ancient Kingdom until now, the Mountain Mausoleum Area has been opened a total of three times. Each time, many people would benefit from it while many others would be buried within forever. In short, what the Mountain Mausoleum Area lacks the least is opportunities and fortunes. As long as one has that ability, one can reach the heavens in one step. Otherwise, one will have to leave one’s life inside.”
At this point, a hint of gloominess flashed across Xiao Jinglun’s eyes. He seemed to have thought of the ancestor of the Penglai family.
Boom!
Just as Lin Wudao and the others were discussing, suddenly, waves of powerful might came from the distant sky.
After a while, a huge spiritual boat that emitted a desolate aura tore through the air. On it stood many majestic figures.
