"Junior Xing Jue, you should've heard of Old Man Cloud Ghost, right?" Zhou Buran said with a smile.
"Old Man Cloud Ghost? Of course I've heard of him. "Xing Jue's heart tightened when he heard those words.
"Although Old Man Cloud Ghost was a sinner, he was indeed a powerful person. His title of the world's number one expert back then was definitely not an undeserved reputation.
"Unfortunately, he was arrogant and cruel. Not only did he enjoy killing, he even attacked Mount Wuzhi. In the end, he forced the five supreme elders to come out and kill him together.
"Although Old Man Cloud Ghost died, his Exalted Weapon, the Soulbinding Wheel, was nowhere to be seen. During the battle, he never used it.
"So, people have always guessed that Old Man Cloud Ghost knew that the battle would be disastrous, but he didn't want his treasure to fall into the hands of Mount Wuzhi.
"So, before the battle, he hid the Soulbinding Wheel. Although it was only a guess back then, it seems to have become a reality now," Zhou Buran said.
"Senior Zhou, what do you mean?" Xing Jue asked.
"In the world, someone discovered a remnant. After verification, the method of setting up the remnant was indeed a method unique to Old Man Cloud Ghost. The remnant was left behind by the world's number one expert back then, Old Man Cloud Ghost!
"It is very possible that the Exalted Weapon that shook the world, the Soulbinding Wheel, is hidden within it." Zhou Buran's tone was filled with excitement.
"The Soul Exalted Weapon has spread the Old Man Cloud Ghost's remnant?"
Xing Jue sighed in his heart. He knew the source of this information was definitely the Soul Exalted. In the world, only the Soul Exalted knew the location of the Old Man Cloud Ghost's remnant. Moreover, the Soul Exalted Weapon was the Soulbinding Wheel.
"This is big news. Do the various powers know about it now?" Xing Jue asked.
"Mount Wuzhi already knows about it. I'm sure the Dragon Sect and Flower Valley have also received the news.
"However, according to master, the higher-ups of Mount Wuzhi won't get involved in this matter. The personal disciples of each peak will go and investigate.
"As for the headmasters of the Flower Valley and Dragon Sect, they are in closed-door training. Their management elders won't personally go either. Most likely, they will only send outstanding disciples."
"Senior Brother Zhou, what do you mean?"
"This is a rare opportunity. I want to make a trip there with Junior Brother. Even if we cannot obtain anything, it would be good to broaden our horizons," said Zhou Buran with a smile.
"Where are the ruins?"
"Crouching Dragon Mountain!"
Crouching Dragon Mountain was located in the south of the world. It was not a mountain range, but an independent mountain.
The shape of Crouching Dragon Mountain was unique. It was like the peak of a dragon, so people named it Crouching Dragon Mountain. Because of the terrain, other than its unique shape, there was nothing special about Crouching Dragon Mountain. Therefore, no power had established a sect here.
On the outskirts of Crouching Dragon Mountain, there was a city called Crouching Dragon City. Most of the citizens in the city were only Battle Sages and Battle Immortals. Occasionally, a Shura Realm cultivator would appear, but they would all leave the city and seek refuge with the more famous forces in the southern region.
Therefore, Crouching Dragon Mountain and Crouching Dragon City were the standard barren lands in the world. Experts rarely appeared, and the people lived peaceful lives.
However, this peace was completely broken ten days ago. Two peak experts of the continent discovered a ruin in Crouching Dragon Mountain and confirmed that it was left behind by the world's strongest expert, Old Man Yun Gui.
On the day they discovered it, the two experts forcefully opened the ruin. However, they did not expect that not only would they die inside, but they would also trigger the ruin's mechanism.
In an instant, poisonous gas lingered and covered the entire Crouching Dragon Mountain. From then on, no one dared to take even half a step closer.
However, since then, a large number of experts from the world had arrived. Currently, Crouching Dragon City had been occupied by the heroes of the world's forces. They were all waiting for the moment when the poisonous gas would dissipate.
Buzz.
In the sky outside Crouching Dragon City, a spatial tunnel suddenly opened, and a huge white crane flew out from it.
This white crane was pure white like snow, sparkling and translucent. It was enormous and extremely lifelike, and on top of the white crane sat two people. It was precisely Xing Jue and Zhou Buran who were traveling together.
"Look, it's the direct disciple of the Hermit Peak."
As soon as the white crane appeared, it immediately caused a commotion. Everyone in the city had already recognized the two people on the crane from their clothes.
Although there were disciples from Mount Wuzhi who had arrived, most of them were disciples who had coincidentally gathered in the south on a mission. Their strength was very weak, and they were only inner disciples.
As for the other experts, they were only from small forces in the south of the world. The strongest among them was only at the level of Asura Wu Zun. Therefore, when everyone saw the direct disciple of the Hermit Peak, it caused such a commotion in the city.
At that moment, the experts from the various forces all walked out of their rooms to admire the glory of the direct disciple of the Hermit Peak. After all, this kind of person was not someone they could see in the past.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, Xing Jue waved his arm, and the huge mechanical Jade Crane he was sitting on quickly shrank, transforming into a palm-sized Jade Crane, and was kept into his storage bracelet.
Once again, Xing Jue's action caused everyone in the city to exclaim in surprise. They all thought that the crane was a spirit beast, but at that moment, they realized that it was actually a magic treasure.
"Junior Xing Jue, your mechanical jade crane is really extraordinary. I'm afraid that even the Asura Martial God can't match up to its speed."
Crouching Dragon Mountain was at the edge of the world, and it was very far from the Hermit Peak. However, Xing Jue and Zhou Buran were able to arrive here in just a few days because of the mechanical jade crane.
"That's Crouching Dragon Mountain?"
In response to Zhou Buran's words, Xing Jue only smiled indifferently. At that moment, his gaze was already attracted by the mountain peak that was surrounded by poisonous fog.
Although the mountain was surrounded by purple poisonous fog, Xing Jue could vaguely make out the shape of the mountain. Combined with what he had heard on the way here, he felt that it was definitely their destination.
"It should be. As expected of the ruins left behind by Old Man Yun Gui. It instantly took the lives of two mid-level Asura Wu Zun and lingered for several days without dissipating. It's enough to show how powerful this poisonous fog is," Zhou Buran praised.
"The fog will definitely dissipate in another ten days." Xing Jue smiled.
"How do you know?" Zhou Buran was somewhat surprised.
"Heh, it's just a guess." Xing Jue smiled slightly. He naturally wouldn't tell Zhou Buran that his Spiritual Strength was very special. It was at the emperor level. Analyzing the time when the poisonous fog would dissipate was child's play.
* whoosh whoosh * Just as the two of them were looking at Crouching Dragon Mountain from afar, several rays of purple light soared into the sky from Crouching Dragon City. In an instant, they flew in front of Xing Jue and Zhou Buran.
"We greet senior apprentice-brother Zhou, senior apprentice-brother Xing."
These people stopped and bowed to Xing Jue and Zhou Buran. They were new disciples of Hermit Peak. As new disciples of Hermit Peak, they naturally recognized Xing Jue and Zhou Buran. After all, the two of them were famous people of Hermit Peak.
Afterwards, under the arrangements of these disciples, Xing Jue and Zhou Buran were given extremely comfortable places to stay in. Even these new disciples didn't have such comfortable places to stay in.
They had all been prepared for the new disciples of Hermit Peak. This was an order from Hermit Peak. After all, opening Old Man Yun Gui's ruins couldn't rely on new disciples like them. Their only purpose was to seize the initiative.
As for the main characters of this opening, they were naturally the new disciples of Mount Wuzhi, as well as the peak disciples and Elders of the other powers.
On the same day that Xing Jue and Zhou Buran arrived in Crouching Dragon City, the city was once again in an uproar. That was because the people who had appeared this time were famous figures in the world. They were prodigies on the World Rankings.
They were ranked fifth on the World Rankings, Kong Guang of Zen Ji Peak.
There was also Yi Changfeng of Reincarnation Peak, who was ranked sixth on the World Rankings.
Kong Guang lived up to his name. His head was extremely bright, but his face was rather handsome. He always wore a smile on his face, giving off a very easy-going feeling.
As for Yi Changfeng, he was a typical pretty boy. He was cultured and refined, but no one dared to doubt their strength because of their appearance.
After all, the two of them were on the Universal Ranking. Although they looked peaceful on the outside, when they went berserk, they were definitely monsters that were more terrifying than demonic beasts. This was the terror of beginner-stage Asura Martial Gods.
The two of them had come on a huge and special mechanical ship. Such a mechanical ship was the trump card of Zen Ji Peak and Reincarnation Peak. Now that the two representatives were using it, it was naturally not to increase their speed.
After all, with their strength, they did not need such a treasure to reach this place quickly. The reason why they had come on such a ship was to bring the armies of the two peaks here.
It was to bring the direct disciples of the two peaks here. That's right, apart from these two geniuses, there were also a hundred direct disciples of the Reincarnation Peak and the Zen Ji Peak.
On the second day, even Bai Ye, who was ranked second on the World Rankings, and Fang Tianhua, who was ranked ninth on the World Rankings, had arrived. The two of them came on Bai Ye's war chariot. At the same time, they brought close to a hundred direct disciples of Heaven Dao Peak.
Bai Ye was as carefree as ever. There were many beauties by his side. As for Fang Tianhua, he was a cold-faced man. His gaze was sharp, and he constantly gave off a terrifying killing intent.
On the third day, a large ship broke through the sky again. This time, the army of direct disciples of Hermit Peak had finally arrived.
The disciples sent by Hermit Peak were similar to the other three peaks. The one leading them was the number one direct disciple of Hermit Peak, Lu Yuan, who was ranked fourth on the World Rankings.
Ever since Xing Jue and Zhou Buran appeared, Crouching Dragon City had been filled with exciting moments almost every day.
However, when the fourth day arrived, people realized that the commotion of the past three days was nothing much.
This was because on the afternoon of the fourth day, the world-renowned Ethereal Peak finally arrived. Looking at the hundred fairy-like direct disciples of Ethereal Peak, people could no longer remain calm.
Not to mention the disciples and elders of the forces in the south, even the disciples of Mount Wuzhi who had seen the world were moved. This was the charm of Ethereal Peak's disciples.
"Why isn't Murong Xiaoxiao here?"
However, Xing Jue's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the hundreds of green-clothed figures in the sky. The other peaks had all sent direct disciples with the strongest disciples as their leaders.
However, Murong Xiaoxiao, the world's most beautiful woman, was not among the direct disciples of Ethereal Peak. Instead, it was an elder with the strength of a low-level Asura Martial God who led the female disciples of Ethereal Peak. This puzzled Xing Jue.
