Chapter 381 - The Black Mountains
The first rays of the morning sun shone down with a warm glow.
Xuan Yuan kept walking forward, but with every step he took, his power would grow stronger. At this moment, Xuan Yuan’s power had already risen from the original strength of 22 Emperor Dragon Energy to the strength of 25 Emperor Dragons, as he broke through the acupoints one by one, hiding the Azure Dragon in his body. His power grew even higher, and when the 7 hidden Azure Dragon meridians linked together, there would be an even greater breakthrough!
"Mortal, no, I shouldn’t call you mortal now. You are definitely not mortal, I never thought that you would actually be able to obtain the inheritance of the ancient green dragon in the ‘Green Hell’s Land’. That ancient green dragon is a terrifying existence within my ‘Profound Forbidden Land’, and it is also extremely respectful! For you to be able to obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Azure Dragon, it is sufficient to prove that you are not a mere mortal! “He must be a descendant of the heavens, a candidate to become a great Emperor!” The heroic soul of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger 'spoke out, his words expressing his admiration for Xuanyuan Kingdom. It was clear that Xuanyuan was the most brilliant young man he had ever seen.
“This is only luck.” Naturally, Xuanyuan Ran smiled. He wouldn’t reveal to the ancient dragon that there was another agreement between him and the Sky Cloud Tiger, and that was that the battle of wills between the two of them would either result in Xuanyuan completely occupying the Azure Dragon’s Beast Core or the body of the Ancient Azure Dragon occupying Xuanyuan’s flesh. It was impossible for the two to coexist.
Along the way, without any obstructions from the ferocious beasts and without any obstructions, Xuanyuan Po easily dispelled the illusion and moved extremely quickly.
Even so, this part of the journey still took seven days and seven nights.
It was only now that Xuan Yuan understood what it meant to be a dead horse on Mount Wang. The map had shown them that they were almost there, but the short distance had allowed them to travel for seven days and seven nights. Fortunately, the aura from the ‘Heaven Cloud Spirit Source’ had forced all the beasts several dozen miles back.
Because in normal times, ‘Heavenly Cloud Tiger’ would act extremely tyrannically, not allowing any fierce beast to approach within a radius of ten kilometers of where it was located. Over time, the habits that they formed allowed Xuanyuan and the others to avoid a path of slaughter, otherwise, it would definitely be extremely troublesome, and reaching the place where the ‘Wen Wu Tea Tree’ was located would definitely be extremely troublesome.
"Xuanyuan, you must be careful. Right now, we have already reached the boundary between the inner and outer parts of the ‘Profound Forbidden Land’, and there will often be fierce beasts with frightening strength coming and going here. At that time, even if I release the aura from the ‘Heaven Cloud Spirit Source’, it will not necessarily be able to intimidate them. The voice of the Heavenly Cloud Tiger sounded out once again.
Xuanyuan Po’s breath faltered, behind him was the ‘Myriad Miles Heaven and Earth Mysterious Grand Magic’. It was a rugged stone the size of a small hill, forming a huge ‘Bewildering Maze Palace’!
In front of Xuanyuan family’s group was an incomparably sharp mountain. Every mountain was incredibly tall and within them was a small patch of green trees that extended into the sky. Each of these trees had thick and sturdy branches, covered with luxuriant leaves.
They all had one thing in common, and that was that from time to time, their bodies emitted an aura that could suppress Dou Qi. Xuanyuan only felt that the Dou Qi in his body was completely suppressed. Unless one was strong enough, or was able to conceal the power of the trees’ battle qi suppression!
“In this place, only when one is strong enough will the Dou Qi within one’s body be shackled by the shackles. It is likely that all of the Dou Qi within one’s body has been suppressed by now.” Heavenly Cloud Tiger 'asked.
“Yes, I can no longer use battle qi. I can only use my body to fight.” Xuan Yuan frowned and looked at Qian Duoduo.
“Me too, but I should be better than you. I haven’t reached the stage where I can’t fully display my battle qi.” Qian Duoduo was grinning from ear to ear. He didn’t feel nervous at all, whether it was fear or solemnity just because he had stepped into such a terrifying place. He was only concerned with playing with Yi Chuan and making fun of her.
Xuan Yuan had long understood Qian Duoduo’s mental state, so he didn’t say much. He kept looking off into the distance, and from his eyes, it was as if there was a myriad of things hidden within the world. He was looking very far away.
In front of these intersecting mountains, there were trees, but as they grew further and further away, there was not a single trace of color on them. There was only endless black, and a massive black mountain range that rose and fell in all directions. This mountain range contained every inch of land, every inch of land, and every inch of land, all of it harboring an extremely terrifying restrictive force!
Looking at the pitch black mountain range, Xuanyuan Yuan’s heart trembled:
“This is the Xuan Wu Immortal’s Might!” Once inside, even if one’s strength reaches the Immortal Emperor Realm, it would be difficult for one to utilize their battle qi and release their supernatural power. This is a terrifying natural power, stored in the deepest part of the ‘Profound Forbidden Area’, no wonder even though the ‘Profound Forbidden Land’ contains so many precious treasures, it can still stay safe and sound. Relying on the ‘Profound Forbidden Great Immortal Force’ is enough to make countless people fear it, not to mention wanting to occupy the most precious treasures within, even an Ancient Great Emperor wouldn’t have such terrifying strength! "
“That’s right, it’s just that the Profound Forbidden Immortal Force isn’t a big threat to one’s Great Perfection of the Universal Body. In the past, the Devouring Emperor walked into the depths of this’ Forbidden Land 'and obtained a supreme immortal medicine, which neared to the divine medicine store. He should be hiding in the Devouring Immortal Mansion, as long as you can obtain the other eight keys to the Devouring Immortal Mansion, then the limitless treasures inside will all be yours!”
The greedy old man’s voice spread.
However, even he himself did not know where the ‘Devouring Immortal Mansion’ was, not to mention the fact that he had to search for all eight keys in order to open it. Xuanyuan deeply understood that right now, he could only think of one thing.
Upon arriving here, the pig-headed Great Emperor’s eyelids involuntarily twitched, and he said with a bit of a wince,
“Kid, let’s just get this’ martial arts tea leaves’. We don’t need to go any deeper!”
It was obvious that the pig-headed Great Emperor had also seen the endless black mountain range behind him. The aura that was emitted from this black mountain range was not only from the restrictive Dou Qi, but also an extremely dangerous aura. It felt as if it could tear a person apart at any time!
Xuanyuan Yun immediately gave him a disdainful look.
“Brat, you don’t have to look down on me. Although I’m fearless, I’m afraid of death, as long as I enter that black mountain range, I’m afraid that my restriction technique will no longer work. If I want to enter, it will be easy, but if I want to leave, it will be very difficult.”
Facing Xuanyuan Yue’s contemptuous gaze, the pig-headed Great Emperor did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he felt very confident and confident.
No one understood the pig-headed Great Emperor better than Xuan Yuan. Greedy for life and fear of death, incomparably greedy, it would definitely be the first to charge forward if there was no danger. If there was danger, even if it was beaten to death, it would not throw its life away.
“Well, we can talk about these things later. After all, we are still at the border between the inner and outer regions. If we have the chance to explore deeper, we can’t miss this chance!” Xuan Yuan nodded.
“Xuan, no matter where you go, I’ll follow you in and help you find a way to remove the ‘Heart Devouring Dragon Worm’!” Qian Duoduo said very seriously. He was very determined!
Yi Yi, who was playing along with Qian Duoduo, also acted like she was deeply worried about something. After thinking for a while, she nodded:
“Yi …”
“What? Xuanyuan, you’ve been captivated by the ‘Heart Devouring Dragon Worm’?” Skycloud Tiger’s voice was filled with shock!
“Yes, that’s why I wanted to come here and find a way to expel the ‘Heartworm’.” Xuan Yuan slowly said.
“If that’s the case, you will have to enter the deepest part of this’ Profound Forbidden Land ‘to search for the most terrifying existence, and only he will be able to control the’ Heart Devouring Dragon Worm '. However, I’m afraid that if you can’t reach that place, you will already die on the road, because even if I reach the realm of Seventh Cycle Dou Immortal, I will still not be able to go any deeper!” Skycloud Tiger sighed.
“Is there really no other way?”
They gave off an unshakeable feeling, and on their bodies, they constantly exuded an ancient aura that was extremely small and helpless. This caused his heart to be filled with an extremely strong uneasiness, as though he could lose his life at any time, and the words spoken by the Heavenly Cloud Tiger did not make any sense. Xuanyuan knew that the Heavenly Cloud Tiger was not lying to him.
Because the moment he set foot on this place, the ‘Heart Devouring Dragon Worm’ in his heart seemed to have become more active, as if it had returned here and was full of energy. The damage caused to it by the ‘Heavenly Frost Jade Liquid’ had started to recover bit by bit.
Xuan Yuan knew that things would get worse if this went on. He had to find the ‘Wen Wu Tea Tree’ and leave as soon as he obtained the ‘Wen Wu Tea Tree’. Otherwise, he would die here in less than four years.
“Let’s go. The civil and military tea tree is on this mountain peak.” Xuan Yuan kept the ‘Heavenly Cloud Spirit Source’ and asked the ‘Heavenly Cloud Tiger’:
“Senior, the secret location that you mentioned shouldn’t be in the inner circle, right?”
If you have the courage, then you can go together with me. If you do not have the courage, then when you are about to leave the ‘Profound Forbidden Land’, release my heroic spirit. “” Alright! Tian Yun Hu said.
“Hehe, of course I have courage. If it’s not deep inside, I can give it a shot.” With a smile, Xuanyuan Yun began to advance in the direction indicated by the map.
The pig head emperor and Qian Duoduo brought Yi Yi and followed closely behind.
