"Eh, senior brother Lu Yuan, you …" Seeing Lu Yuan's sudden action, Xing Jue's face was filled with shock.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, why are you still standing there? Why aren't you kowtowing to the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak? "Lu Yuan's gaze suddenly became stern when he saw Xing Jue still standing there.
"Huh? Isn't this the former residence of the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak? Why are you kowtowing to the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak? "Xing Jue was even more confused.
"Are you really an idiot?" Seeing that Xing Jue didn't seem to know anything, Bai Ye, who had long disliked Xing Jue, snorted and took the opportunity to mock him.
"Heh … Junior Brother Xing Jue, you're so cute. It seems like your master didn't tell you anything?" At the same time, the beautiful Murong Xiaoxiao also covered her mouth and chuckled, displaying her charm that could enchant all living things.
Seeing that Xing Jue really didn't know anything, Lu Yuan stood up and shook his head helplessly.
After listening to Murong Xiaoxiao and Lu Yuan's explanation, Xing Jue learned that this was not only the former residence of the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak, but it was also the graveyard of the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak and the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak.
The Lord Yun Ming that Lu Yuan mentioned was the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak, and Lord Song Zhu was the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak.
Moreover, apart from what happened here, Murong Xiaoxiao and Lu Yuan also gave Xing Jue a lesson about the history of Mount Wuzhi.
It turned out that Mount Wuzhi was ownerless 10,000 years ago. However, it was the most famous forbidden area in the Soul Source World at that time. It was called the Cursed Five Peaks, and anyone who went near it would die.
Until one day, the curse of one of the Five Peaks was suddenly broken by an unknown master.
Moreover, that master built a sect here and opened it to the people of the world to accept disciples. From then on, that mountain was named Heaven Dao Peak.
Ever since then, the people of the world realized that as long as one broke the curse, the so-called Cursed Peak would become a Holy Land for cultivation.
Therefore, as countless heroes joined the Heaven Dao Peak, many of the world's top powerhouses began to pay attention to the other four peaks. They all wanted to take over the peaks for their own use.
However, to break the curse, not only did one need absolute power, one's own luck seemed to be very important as well. Even the founder of the Heaven Dao Peak only broke the curse of the Heaven Dao Peak, but he couldn't break the curses of the other four peaks.
Those so-called top experts of the world naturally did not return. Most of them were buried with the other four peaks.
Even so, there were still people who were willing to pay with their lives in an attempt to break the curse. However, most of them ended in failure.
Later on, there was a rumor in the world that anyone who could break the curse would be the strongest person in the world.
It wasn't until thousands of years passed that the first Heavenly Dao Peak's sect leader died, and the curses of the other four peaks were broken.
However, because the time when the curse was broken was very long, a few years had passed. Therefore, the first Heavenly Dao Peak's sect leader did not meet in the world for many years.
Only the Hermit Peak and the Ethereal Peak were exceptions. Because the curses of these two peaks were broken at the same time, there were always rumors that the relationship between Yun Ming and Song Zhu was not simple.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Yun Ming and Song Zhu were both the strongest people at that time. However, the two of them never fought for the title of number one. Instead, they were very close and had a good relationship.
Moreover, at that time, Mount Wuzhi had its own camp, and the other three peaks had even fought more than once. Today, the situation where Mount Wuzhi was united as one was the result of Yun Ming and Song Zhu's hard work.
That was because, with Yun Ming and Song Zhu's strength at that time, they could definitely annex the other three peaks. However, they did not do so. Instead, they formed an alliance with the other three peaks. From then on, Mount Wuzhi did not offend each other and became a united front.
Therefore, in the history of Mount Wuzhi, Yun Ming and Song Zhu could be said to be the key people who decided the fate of Mount Wuzhi. They were called the Peerless Twins by the later generations. However, the heavens were jealous of their talents, and the two of them passed away before they lived more than a hundred years.
Their tombs were in the Ethereal Cave Abode of the Ethereal Peak. However, this tomb was invisible. Other than the masters of that era, no one had seen what the tomb looked like. The later generations only knew that the tomb was buried in the Ethereal Cave Abode.
There were no precious treasures in the Ethereal Cave Abode. The reason why it was listed as the most forbidden area in Mount Wuzhi was because it was the resting place of two important people.
"So, the two masters, Yun Ming and Song Zhu, were such powerful people. It was the two of them who stabilized the chaotic situation back then and brought peace to the later generations."
"The two of them had such a close relationship that they were even buried in the same place after their deaths. I'm guessing that the two of them must be a couple." After hearing about Yun Ming and Song Zhu, Xing Jue couldn't help but sigh.
"Heh, Junior Brother Xing Jue, you really know how to think. The two masters were not lovers. They were just close friends." Murong Xiaoxiao corrected him.
"But no matter how I look at it, the two of them look like lovers." Xing Jue was suspicious.
"But if they were lovers, why didn't they leave behind descendants? Moreover, in this world, other than Master Yun Ming, there has never been anyone with the surname Yun, "Murong Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Why not? Isn't Yun Gui Old Man's surname Yun? "Xing Jue replied.
"How dare you! Who is Yun Gui Old Man? He is a great enemy of Mount Wuzhi. How could he be related to the first Sect Master of Hermit Peak, Master Yun Ming? "Lu Yuan suddenly became angry, as if he would not allow anyone to blaspheme Hermit Peak.
"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, Junior Brother Xing Jue did not mean it. Why are you so angry?" Murong Xiaoxiao advised with a smile. She then said to Xing Jue, "Junior Brother Xing Jue, that Yun Gui Old Man is a great sinner.
"Junior brother Xing Jue, that Old Man Yun Gui is a great sinner. Back then, he slaughtered countless elders and disciples of our Wuzhi Peak. You must not associate him with Lord Yun Ming."
Xing Jue nodded his head in response to Murong Xiaoxiao's kind reminder. He had indeed blurted it out earlier. Thinking about it in hindsight, perhaps the Cloud Ghost Old Man was truly a sinner in the eyes of the Wuzhi Peak's disciples.
However, Xing Jue did not think so. After all, the Soul Exalt was created by Yun Gui Old Man, and Xing Jue still had to accept Yun Gui Old Man's inheritance in the future.
After explaining the history of Mount Wuzhi to Xing Jue, Bai Ye clearly did not want to stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Murong Xiaoxiao and Lu Yuan, he left first to search for the immortal herb.
Lu Yuan also left after Bai Ye. Only Murong Xiaoxiao gave Xing Jue a few divine talismans before she left to protect his life.
After Murong Xiaoxiao left, only Xing Jue was left. Xing Jue was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed where he was and used his soul to observe the three's movements.
After observing, Xing Jue discovered that although the three of them had left and were moving in different directions, they did not go far. They seemed to be setting up something.
Xing Jue had to wait for them to leave before he could take action. Otherwise, he might cause unnecessary trouble.
"Heh …"
Suddenly, Xing Jue could not help but chuckle. When he thought of the mocking words Bai Ye said before he left, he found it laughable.
Finally, when Xing Jue could no longer sense the three's auras, he took out the Grass Searching Plate from the Soul Devouring Token. "This immortal herb is not something you can capture, because it is not a fifth-grade immortal herb."
The Grass Seeking Disk was a divine item that searched for immortal herbs. Ever since the grass box was opened in the Autumn Moon Palace and the immortal herbs appeared, the Grass Seeking Disk in the Soul Devouring Punishment Token had been spinning non-stop.
"Swish, swish, swish."
At this moment, one of the needles on the Grass Searching Plate was pointing into the distance. This meant that the immortal herb was indeed in the Ethereal Grotto-Heaven, and it was moving in a certain direction.
However, the number on the needle wasn't five, but six. The green immortal herb was actually a sixth-grade immortal herb!!!
"Zi la la la la —"
After confirming the direction of the immortal herb, Xing Jue unleashed his strength as a Beginner Shura Wu Zun. He executed the Phantom Thunder Swift Steps and continued forward at a terrifying speed. Perhaps only the Asura Martial God could catch up to him.
Xing Jue noticed many Soul Seals along the way. These were all set up by Bai Ye and the other two. As long as something touched the Soul Seal, they would be able to sense what it was. It was used to find the immortal herb.
Xing Jue guessed that the three of them must be setting up Soul Seals everywhere in the vast Ethereal Grotto-Heaven to find the immortal herb by casting a net.
Needless to say, this method was very ingenious. However, only those with the strength of the three of them could do it. If it were an Asura Martial Saint, it would take at least a few months to spread his Soul Imprint in such a vast place.
However, with their strength, they could finish it in two to three days. In other words, they would be setting up Soul Seals for the next two to three days. Only during the last two days would they start searching for the immortal herb.
Compared to the three of them, Punishment Execution was the most direct method. With the Xun Operator Plate in hand, there was no need for them to place any soul imprints. They only needed to follow the directions of the Xun Operator Plate and they would be able to find the location of the immortal herb.
"Strange? It should be nearby. Why can't I find it? "
After three days of chasing, the needle on the Grass Trader Compass started to tremble slightly, indicating that the immortal herb was nearby. However, even with Xing Jue's Soul Force, he couldn't find any trace of the immortal herb.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
Xing Jue continued to move forward. Suddenly, the needle on the Grass Trader Compass started to spin rapidly.
Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly took a step back. Once he was out of that range, the needle returned to trembling slightly.
He took a step forward and the needle continued to spin. After he continued to move forward, the needle actually started to tremble slightly behind Xing Jue.
"Could it be that the immortal herb is here?"
This change was a little unexpected for Xing Jue. He had already determined a region. As long as he stepped into that region, the needle would spin wildly. If he were to walk around that region, the needle of the immortal grass disc would point to that region once more.
This caused Xing Jue to suspect that the Immortal Herb was right here. However, when he looked down at the perfectly undamaged ground and then up at the blue skies, Xing Jue was truly at a loss.
Swoosh.
There were no signs of concealment underground. The Punishment Mantra suddenly rose into the air and flew towards the blue skies. When it reached an altitude of ten thousand metres, the immortal grass disc actually began to spin rapidly once again.
"I got it."
At this moment, Xing Jue was in the air. The Grass Trader Compass in his left hand was still spinning rapidly. However, Xing Jue's gaze wasn't on the Grass Trader Compass. Instead, it was on his feet.
"Break for me!"
Suddenly, Xing Jue carved a talisman on his palm and struck it down.
Buzz.
With a flash of light, Xing Jue actually disappeared in mid-air. He didn't leave a trace. It was as if he had evaporated from the world.
