"What?!"
Jiang Taixu's expression changed when he heard Chu Bei mention the Undying Mountain.
After regaining his senses, Jiang Taixu gulped and looked at Chu Bei. He quickly said, "Boss Chu, the Undying Mountain is one of the seven life forbidden zones! Rumor has it that a few years ago, a Great Sage Physique and an Ancient Emperor worked hard for two lifetimes, but they still couldn't level it. May I know why you're going there this time? "
"I'm going to take a tree and call it Dao Enlightenment," Chu Bei said calmly as he looked at Jiang Taixu.
"So you're also going there for that tree! But according to the ancient records, the Ancient Emperor who tried to level the Undying Mountain couldn't bring out the Tree of Dao Enlightenment. In my opinion, there must be a terrifying existence sleeping in the Undying Mountain. I'm afraid that you're going there this time … "Jiang Taixu looked worried as he tried to persuade Chu Bei.
There were too many terrifying legends about the Undying Mountain. The existence that came out of the mountain had once caused chaos in the world, causing rivers of blood and mountains of corpses to form the most terrifying Dark Age.
If it weren't for the Great Sage Physique and the Ancient Emperor who worked hard for two lifetimes to suppress all of this, the history of the human race in the Big Dipper would have been rewritten.
"Which Ancient Emperor fought his way into the Undying Mountain?" Duan De asked.
"The Void Emperor," Jiang Taixu replied.
"It's my ancestor!"
Ji Ziyue's mouth was wide open when she heard that. Her delicate and flawless face was full of shock.
"Little guy, I didn't expect your ancestor to have such great achievements!" Duan De patted Ji Ziyue's shoulder.
There were very few legends about the Void Emperor in the world. Even Ji Ziyue, his descendant, didn't know much about him. Who would have thought that this Ancient Emperor was so powerful that he once fought his way into the Undying Mountain and created such a great achievement that resolved the disaster of the human race?
The Black Emperor glanced at Duan De and roared, "The Ancient Emperors, every single one of them is a peerless talent. Over the countless years, only one of them is born out of millions and millions of living beings. Even if there are not many rumors about a certain Ancient Emperor, it is still not something a stinky Daoist like you can guess."
Hearing the Black Emperor's words, Jiang Taixu nodded in agreement. Every Great Emperor was the only main character of a period. In terms of their lives, every one of them had endless legends.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Chu Bei nodded at Jiang Taixu.
"The Seven Forbidden Zones! I'm really curious about what's inside them!" Ji Ziyue rubbed her hands as her eyes sparkled.
"This time, I will be going alone. I will be back soon."
However, when Ji Ziyue looked at Chu Bei expectantly, the latter's calm voice poured a bucket of cold water on her head.
In the next moment, a ripple arose around Chu Bei, and his figure disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

Undying Mountain.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky. The mountain was full of vitality and lush green. The black soil and black cliffs looked ancient and mysterious.
This was a primitive region with boundless wastelands. Many ancient trees towered into the sky like small mountains. Many ancient vines even buried the large mountains underneath.
Everything was too primitive. These vines had been growing for who knew how many years. They should have turned into demons a long time ago. Unfortunately, they were still in their original form and did not have intelligence.
Occasionally, one could see strange beasts in the mountain. They were all unheard of. Each and every one of them was strange and terrifying. They were full of dangerous auras. They were all ancient beasts with intelligence.
The deeper they went, the more they could feel the terrifying aura of this hell. It made one's mind uneasy. It was as if they were getting closer to a supreme existence.
In the central region, there was a large mountain. It was majestic and imposing. It was as if it had been standing here since the beginning of time. It could be said to be the king of mountains, the emperor of mountains. It was majestic and imposing.
The mountain was lush and verdant. It was full of ancient trees as tall as the sky. It was full of vitality. There were even some lakes adorning the mountainside. However, they could not hide the true color of this mountain. It was as black as ink.
At this moment, Chu Bei was hovering at the peak of this mountain. His gaze stopped at a certain direction.
There was an ancient tree there. Although it was covered by many ancient trees, its unique aura was particularly special.
It was not very tall, only three meters tall. However, it was as vigorous as a horned dragon. Its old skin was cracked as if it had experienced millions of years. It was very strange. The leaves on the tree were not the same. Every leaf was different from the others. They were all sparkling and translucent as if they were carved out of jade.
Some of the leaves were like small cauldrons, misty and hazy. Some of the leaves were like divine phoenixes, flickering with multicolored light. Some of the leaves were like immortals sitting cross-legged, incomparably vivid. Some were like gold, resplendent. Some were like scarlet jade, incomparably bright. There were all kinds of colors.
"As expected of the Tree of Enlightenment." With a step, Chu Bei had already arrived under the Tree of Enlightenment.
There seemed to be endless Dao flowing around the tree. It was full of mysterious power, making one's heart empty. Chu Bei was not cultivating, but it seemed like he was comprehending the Dao.
Dang —!
At this moment, a bell rang.
In the next moment, a blurry figure appeared in front of Chu Bei. It was hard to see clearly.
He walked around the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and above his head was a large bell that was surrounded by chaotic fog.
The large bell seemed to be able to stop time. The chaos was turbulent, and thousands of strands fell down. It was incomparably mysterious and hazy, like the flowing river of time.
After a long while, the blurry figure sat cross-legged under the Tree of Enlightenment. The large bell bobbed up and down, making him look like a piece of nothingness. It was as if he had merged with the vast world and was about to disappear.
Not long after, he seemed to be deep in thought. He stood up and looked at the sky. Then, step by step, he walked away. He seemed to be walking against the river of time, passing through the gate of time and leaving, returning to the distant primordial era.
"Heavenly Emperor No Beginning …"
Looking at the figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance, Chu Bei muttered softly. If the Black Emperor was here, he would probably cry until his heart and lungs were torn apart.
After No Beginning left, another figure appeared under the ancient tree. She was even more mysterious. Only a shadow could be seen. Behind her, a jar with a ghost face was floating up and down.
She walked under the ancient tree. With every step she took, a black hole would appear under her feet. It was as if she wanted to swallow everyone. Just a little bit of her aura leaked out, and the world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Heavenly Emperor Ruthless has also been here …" Chu Bei whispered.
After the abyss-like shadow left, several more figures appeared under the Tree of Enlightenment. However, they didn't stay for too long and left.
"I didn't expect so many Heavenly Emperors to have come to comprehend the Dao under this tree." After letting out a sigh, Chu Bei placed his right hand on the trunk of the Tree of Enlightenment.
Rustle —
Instantly, the three-meter-tall ancient tree shook. Its trunk emitted a divine light.
It was so strange. Every leaf was different. There was a small cauldron, a divine phoenix, an immortal, a divine bell, mountains and rivers, clouds, the Eight Trigrams … All kinds of shapes were vivid and lifelike.
Every leaf was like a small world. They represented a different kind of Dao, swaying with dreamy brilliance.
Upon closer inspection, the trunk was ancient, full of atmosphere and ancient intent. On the other hand, the leaves were natural, full of life and Dao. The two blended together, mysterious and abstruse.
"It's you!"
Just as Chu Bei was about to subdue the Tree of Enlightenment according to the method described by the system, a soul-stirring low voice suddenly sounded in the Undying Mountain.
In the next moment, amidst strange rumbling sounds, the roar of the river water could be heard. This was a black river surging. It was so black that it was shriveled. There was no trace of life in it. Just looking at it made one's heart feel suffocated.
Feeling the death aura of the black river, a chill inexplicably surged in Chu Bei's heart. With a raise of his hand, he used the power of a Quasi-emperor given by the system.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, an incomparably huge gap appeared in the sky above the black river. Inside the gap, a 10,000-feet-tall thunder giant held a giant thunder axe and hacked at the black river.
Rustle!
The sound of thunder resounded through the sky. The black river surged, bringing up layers of strange splashes.
"So it's you. No wonder you have the confidence to enter the Undying Mountain."
As the calm voice fell, a tall and majestic demonic figure faintly appeared above the black river. He held a black halberd in his hand and was full of murderous intent.
With a sigh, the majestic figure narrowed his eyes. His cold eyes shot out a sharp light, directly piercing through the 10,000-feet-tall thunder giant.
Hearing the other party's words, Chu Bei's heart trembled. The other party actually knew about him!
After being stunned, Chu Bei quickly calmed down. It must be because the other party had sensed the aura that he had revealed when he used a level-15 product not long ago.
"Stone Emperor?"
Relying on the memory in his mind, Chu Bei tentatively guessed, without any emotion on his face.
In the Primordial Age, the Great Emperor-level figures were called Ancient Emperors, such as the Immortal Emperor and the Empress of the West. In the Primordial Age, they were called Great Emperors, such as the Great Emperor, the Ruthless Emperor, and the Void Emperor.
"Since you know that this is my resting place, why do you still dare to come here? You even want to take away the Tree of Enlightenment!"
The tall and majestic demonic figure snorted coldly. The river beneath his feet churned violently, like a black dragon about to engulf the sky. It made one feel uneasy.
"This is a little difficult." After confirming the other party's identity, Chu Bei frowned.
The masters of these forbidden areas were all Great Emperors in the past. However, in order to live longer, when they sensed that their lives were fading, they cut off their Dao prematurely, causing their cultivation level to drop.
"After sleeping for 10,000 years, even my bones are loose."
The Stone Emperor waved his black halberd. "Let's fight!"
As the cold and emotionless syllables fell, the halberd in the Stone Emperor's hand slashed down, creating a buzzing sound.
Suddenly, the sky above the Undying Mountain cracked open, and dragon patterns appeared. A huge gap seemed to be connected to the vast universe outside the Big Dipper Star Region. Through the gap, one could faintly see the sun, moon, and stars outside.
A black dragon appeared from the gap, carrying with it the mysterious power of the universe. Its entire body emitted a demonic light, and amidst flickering runes, it swept toward Chu Bei.
The black dragon had a spirit, and it bared its fangs and brandished its claws. This was a supreme Emperor Dao attack.
In an instant, the void around Chu Bei was ignited. Time and space seemed to be frozen.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Bei was engulfed. He couldn't dodge at all.
