For the next few days, everything was calm.
Ji Tianxing stayed in Tianxing Palace, recuperating in seclusion in a secret room.
After five days of recuperation, he relied on his strong self-healing ability and consumed some elixirs to heal his physical injuries.
However, it was very difficult to use elixirs to heal soul injuries, and he couldn't recover quickly in a short period of time.
He could only use the power of the Heaven Mending Pearl to slowly heal his soul.
The effects of the Heaven Mending Pearl were very miraculous. After five days of recuperation, his soul injuries had already recovered by more than half.
Next, as long as he recuperated with the Heaven Mending Pearl for another half a month, his soul injuries would be completely healed.
On the morning of the sixth day, he ended his seclusion and left the secret room.
He first went to Kunwu Palace to check on Ji Ke's injuries.
When he arrived at Kunwu Palace, he only saw Kunwu and didn't see Ji Ke.
He asked Kunwu and found out that Ji Ke had woken up three days ago.
Ji Ke's injuries were no longer serious, so he left the Monarch Mansion and stayed in Xing Yue Village outside the city to recuperate.
After hearing this news, Ji Tianxing felt a little comforted and bid farewell to Kunwu.
He didn't go to Xing Yue Village to visit Ji Ke in person. It was enough to know that she was fine.
Even if they met now, it would only add to the awkwardness and annoyance. It was better to let time dilute all of this and talk about it later.
After returning to Tianxing Palace, Ji Tianxing rummaged through the study, looking for books related to the Nightmare Demon.
He wanted to know more about the Nightmare Demon so that he could at least be prepared.
The Nightmare Demon's sudden appearance meant that the Demon Emperor was very likely to come to Zhong Zhou. This made him feel even more pressured and urgent.
In twenty days, he and Yun Yao would be married. He didn't want any more twists and turns.
Not long after, he found five ancient history books and biographies. He placed them on the desk and carefully read them.
These history books and biographies had scattered records of the Nightmare Demon's deeds and news.
Ji Tianxing used his spiritual sense to quickly flip through the books. It only took him forty-five minutes to finish reading the five ancient books that were as thick as bricks.
After reading these ancient books, he had a deeper understanding of Nightmares.
Incubi were special existences with strange and unpredictable abilities that allowed them to enter and control other people's dreams.
However, it was not omnipotent.
At the very least, it couldn't enter the dreams of those who were stronger than it.
Because of this, it had used the Dream World to kill many powerful people, but it had never dared to provoke the God Tier Masters of the Imperial Residence.
In addition, the Incubus could enter other people's dreams, but if the dreamer's will was strong enough, it would not be able to control the dream.
After understanding these two points, Ji Tianxing suddenly came to a realization.
"No wonder Dream Demon didn't dare to make a move against him even though God Teacher Black Feather wanted to deal with him!
Ke's mind was bewitched by the Dream Demon. After the Dream Realm was controlled, she was immersed in the Dream Realm, unable to wake up.
When I was heavily injured by the Dream Demon and was on the verge of death, Ke was filled with grief and despair. Her will was incomparably firm, so she was able to wake up at the last moment and end the Dream Realm.
This means that as long as my will is firm enough, even if the Dream Demon can invade my Dream Realm, it can't do anything to me! "
After understanding this point, Ji Tianxing was finally relieved.
He left the study and returned to the secret room, continuing his closed door cultivation.
He wanted to increase his strength as much as possible before the wedding ceremony, so that he could deal with all kinds of dangers and unforeseen events.
… …
To the north of Central State City, five hundred miles away, there was a continuous mountain range.
It was different from normal mountain ranges. These mountain ranges did not have dark green forests or vegetation, only sparse ancient trees and wild grass.
Most of the mountain ranges were dark brown in color, revealing jagged rocks and dirt, looking very desolate and lonely.
Among the many mountain ranges, there was a ten thousand foot tall dark brown mountain peak, like a crane in a flock of chickens, standing alone.
This precipitous mountain peak covered in rocks was called Mountain of No Return.
A thousand years ago, when the Demon Race's chaos broke out.
Many brave and righteous people of Central State were filled with hot blood as they crossed this black mountain, heading to the Northern Desert to resist the Demon Race.
Even though those brave warriors knew that heading to the Northern Desert to resist the Demon Race was a path of no return with nine deaths and one life.
But everyone bravely sacrificed themselves, not fearing death.
In the end, countless brave warriors buried their hot blood and heroic souls forever in the Northern Desert.
Later generations, in order to remember those brave warriors and martyrs from a thousand years ago, named this black mountain Mountain of No Return.
It was currently late at night, the world was completely silent.
There was no moon tonight, the night sky was as black as ink, and there was a sinister and cold wind whistling.
A wisp of faintly discernible black energy streaked across the night sky like an aurora, silently flying towards Mountain of No Return.
In a short hundred breaths of time, the black energy crossed a hundred miles, entering Mountain of No Return.
In the belly of Mountain of No Return, there was a pitch black and ice cold passage, twisting and turning as it led underground.
There were forks on both sides of the passage, most of them were deliberately set up to confuse people's minds.
Although there was no one guarding the passage, there were hidden formations and powerful restrictions set up every few hundred meters.
If someone unfamiliar with the situation rashly barged in, they would definitely be killed by the invisible formations. Even Heaven Prime cultivators were no exception.
"Whoosh!"
That wisp of black energy quickly passed through the passage, ignoring the many traps, hidden weapons, and formations. It quickly reached the deepest part of the passage.
A black stone door that was a hundred meters tall blocked the end of the passage.
The two stone doors were tightly shut. A pair of ferocious-looking Asuras with sharp claws and wings were carved on the door, appearing solemn and mysterious, filled with dense Demon Qi.
Without a doubt, the stone door was sealed by a powerful formation. Ordinary people would not be able to open it.
But that wisp of black energy was as light as a feather, passing through the seal formation and entering behind the stone door.
Behind the door was a huge, empty, and gloomy cave.
The cave had a radius of a thousand meters, surrounded by dark brown rock walls. The ground was also made of black rock, slightly uneven.
Wisps of Demon Qi permeated the air, and a ball of bloody light rose from the center of the cave like a ball of fire.
Under the bloody light was a huge Demon Dao formation.
The ground was carved with mysterious Demon Dao patterns, crisscrossing patterns, and ancient Demon Race symbols.
A Demon Race man who was more than ten feet tall, had two heads, and a head full of white hair. He was sitting in the middle of the formation.
His body was burly, and his skin was covered with black dragon scales. He had a pair of black bone wings on his back, just like the legendary Asuras.
He was the current leader of the Demon Race, the Ancient Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor was meditating, and the ball of bloody light floating above his head contained an ancient scepter that was about five feet long and as thick as an arm.
The scepter was completely black, and its design was simple and mysterious. Two dark red blood dragons were carved on the handle.
At the top of the scepter was a majestic and domineering evil god with three heads and six arms.
