"Indeed, you are ignorant and inexperienced." Yi Lian laughed, calmly glancing at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian smiled and nodded in response, he didn't mind it at all.
Not long after, they arrived at that place. There was an incomparably resplendent golden mountain range that was incomparably majestic. In the distance, many experts could be seen. They were either standing with their eyes closed or sitting cross-legged, all of them seemed to be in a state of comprehension.
"I didn't expect to be able to meet Brother Shan here. I still remember during the banquet two years ago, Brother Shan represented the Skyair Palace and obtained the number one position in the commander battle. After that, you resigned from your position and disappeared without a trace. It's truly my fortune to be able to meet you here." That arrogant leader of the four palaces politely clasped his hands and spoke. Clearly, he knew of Shan Lengqiu's name.
"Mhm." The group of them respectively walked towards the mine, with Shan Lengqiu in the center. Murong Xiaoxiao unknowingly walked to his side.
"Is there no one guarding the airspace above this mine?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Taotie Mine." Murong Xiaoxiao mumbled. After that, a smile appeared on her face as she spoke to Shan Lengqiu, "Brother Shan, my strength is weaker. This mine is filled with danger. If I follow you, you have to protect me."
Yi Qing and Yi Lian glanced at Qin Wentian. Yi Lian's eyes flashed with disdain. Although he was a peak-stage immortal emperor, an unaffiliated cultivator was still an unaffiliated cultivator. He actually didn't even know this. She then glanced at Shan Lengqiu, feeling that the disparity between them was too great. It's just that this woman Murong Xiaoxiao was truly shameless enough, she actually chose to follow him.
The Lifelong Realm was simply too vast, so vast that it was boundlessly vast. Just Lifelong City alone already had many empyrean powers. Let alone the boundless Lifelong Realm, there were many other major powers hidden within. Although world overlords who stood at the peak were extremely rare, there would definitely be many powers on the same level as palace lords.
In the middle of the vast mine, there was a huge piece of flat land. This place was the entrance to the mine. At this moment, more and more people came here. Qin Wentian was among them. There were many experts around him, all of them were immortal emperors. They were either alone or in groups of two or three. Occasionally, sounds of discussion could be heard.
Seeing that everyone was tempted, the young man smiled and said, "This is the Taotie Mine, one of the eight great mines. Having one more friend will increase our chances of success. The four of you should be disciples of major powers, right?"
The people who just arrived all shook their heads. After that, the guard pointed to the front and said, "If you continue forward, you will reach the entrance of the Taotie Mine. I'm sure everyone here understands the rules of the Taotie Mine. You can enter and exit at any time, please do as you please."
What was even more relaxed was that the Taotie Mine did not have to hand over all of its ores on a fixed schedule. Instead, they could come out at any time and hand over all of the ores that they had dug out. Afterward, they would be able to obtain ten percent of the ores.
"That's right. With Brother Shan's talent and identity, why did you come to the Taotie Mine?" Yi Qing asked.
"Everyone, please wait a moment." At this moment, a silhouette appeared, causing everyone to stop in their tracks. They turned their heads to look at the person who spoke. It was a young and handsome man. His temperament was extraordinary, and there was a beautiful celestial maiden beside him who bore a striking resemblance to him.
Shan Lengqiu calmly nodded. A moment later, the eyes of everyone in the surroundings gleamed with a strange light. Although they were also characters from major powers, their statuses couldn't be compared to Shan Lengqiu, the eldest disciple of the Skyair Empyrean.
"Let's go and take a look." Shan Lengqiu's silhouette flashed as he shot out like a bolt of black lightning, speeding towards that direction.
The four people he spoke to were none other than the group of people Qin Wentian heard earlier.
"Right." The crowd nodded and continued on their way.
Although their cultivation bases were very high, it was unknown how dangerous it was inside. But one thing was for sure, there would definitely be many experts here.
The eight most important mines of the Lifelong Realm were far more relaxed compared to the other small mines. In addition to the fortuitous encounters hidden within, it attracted experts from all directions to come here unceasingly. This in itself was a kind of strategy. Otherwise, even if there were a lot of fortuitous encounters, if the restrictions were too tight, it would still be very difficult to attract experts to come here to take risks. So much so that some of them came here only for the sake of tempering themselves. Some of them just wanted to broaden their horizons.
"Are you guys really disciples of the Greencloud Mountain?" The peak-stage immortal emperor in the lead asked.
But who was the Skyair Empyrean? The Lifelong Realmlord.
"Wait for me." Murong Xiaoxiao spoke. The group of them increased their speed. Yi Lian's beautiful eyes involuntarily glanced at Murong Xiaoxiao, as though she found her to be an eyesore.
"Brother Shan, for the sake of pursuing that cultivation realm, you can even give up your status as a monarch. How admirable." Murong Xiaoxiao's voice was gentle as she smiled.
The group of them continued forward and finally entered the teleportation array. In an instant, they traversed a boundless distance and arrived above a mine. This mine was like an incomparably gigantic constellation, boundless and boundless. They stood in the air and felt incomparably tiny, only able to see a small portion of this mine.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to get acquainted with a disciple of the Yi Clan of the Greencloud Mountain and a genius from the four palaces of the Desolate Ground here. My name is Murong Xiaoxiao." A solitary fairy smiled. She was radiant and gentle, her smile was like a crescent moon, exuding a pure beauty. However, given her cultivation base and the fact that she was an unaffiliated cultivator, how could one only look at the surface?
"Yi Qing, a disciple of the Greencloud Mountain. This is my younger sister, Yi Lian." The young man smiled and nodded.
"Brother Tianwen, you might not know this but the taotie mine contains a terrifying taotie energy that can devour the heavens and earth. In the airspace above the taotie mine, a fearsome spatial tempest was formed, filled with all sorts of destructive auras. Let alone immortal emperors, even transcendents wouldn't be able to leave this place. They can only leave through the exit." Yi Qing smiled as he introduced.
"Fairy Murong." Yi Qing smiled and nodded to Murong Xiaoxiao. The people from the Desolate Ground Palace also nodded to her.
"Skyair Empyrean Palace, Shan Lengqiu." The last person was clad in black. His tone was filled with coldness. Even though this was a disciple of the Yi Clan from the Greencloud Mountain and the geniuses from the Desolate Ground Palace, there was no way for him to be polite to them.
"The Desolate Ground Palace?" Yi Qing's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he asked. The other party nodded.
"As expected of one of the eight great mines of the Lifelong Realm. Most of the people who came here should be experts from the hegemonic powers." Qin Wentian silently mused. These hegemonic powers were similar to the Sword Spirit Sect and Jialan Clan, having palace lords.
Qin Wentian followed behind. His countenance was incomparably calm, his heart like still water. He didn't expect that he would be able to casually encounter the Skyair Palace Lord in the taotie mine, a grand disciple of the Lifelong Realm. This place was truly a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
"Disciples of the Yi Clan." The eyes of the peak-stage immortal emperor in the lead flashed. After that, he nodded lightly, "Since this is the case, let's form an alliance then. We are from the Desolate Ground Palace."
"Everyone, if you want to enter the mine, you have to allow us to inspect all your interspatial rings with our immortal sense. If there are any inconvenient items, you all can leave them behind after you return." At the registration area of the taotie mine, a guard reminded. Everyone naturally understood this point. Every mine had such a rule. If they didn't check the interspatial rings on you, how would they know if you are hiding something? Hence, if you have any treasures or secret items, you wouldn't bring them with you.
A powerful female immortal emperor, right now, was like a little girl, extremely gentle. Shan Lengqiu glanced at her and nodded, "You can leave now."
"Shan Lengqiu, are you the eldest disciple of the Skyair Palace Lord? Grand disciple of the Realmlord? "Yi Qing's eyes flashed with sharpness as he stared at Shan Lengqiu.
"This is spatial energy, but it doesn't seem to be pure spatial energy." Qin Wentian stared ahead at the majestic golden mountain that resembled a translucent ancient peak. Within it, there were some scattered silhouettes. All of them had deathly expressions on their faces and were as thin as firewood. It was as though they had been trapped inside for countless years!
"Senior brother, given your talent and cultivation base, you might really have a chance to break through to the immortal emperor realm, transcending mortality and entering sainthood." At this moment, a voice drifted over from the side. It was actually a group of immortal emperor-level martial brothers. The weakest among them was at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, while the strongest among them exuded a terrifying aura. Clearly, they were already standing at the peak of the immortal emperor realm and were here to search for good fortune to break through.
"Us siblings are disciples of the Greencloud Mountain. I'm sure everyone knows the dangers of entering the taotie mine. Not only is there a threat from the taotie mine itself, there's also the threat from the various experts inside. Even if we manage to find the mine, we might not be able to snatch it away from them. Hence, every batch of people who entered the mine would form an alliance. There are nine of us, why don't we form an alliance?" The young man slowly spoke. What he said was the truth. Many batches of people who entered the mine would form an alliance.
"What a powerful spatial law energy." Qin Wentian mused in a low voice.
"What's that?" At this moment, Murong Xiaoxiao turned her gaze towards the distance. Over there, there seemed to be a golden ancient mountain towering over there. Incomparably resplendent light cascaded down from the sky, cascading down on them, giving the ancient mountain a layer of holy light.
The group of people continued on their way. Occasionally, emperor light would appear below but they would only casually glance at it before continuing on their way. Ordinary emperor stones couldn't even enter their eyes.
The taotie mine could be entered at any time. As long as one's cultivation base met the requirements of the immortal emperor realm, they would be able to enter and mine.
"It's me who is ignorant and inexperienced. Thank you for your guidance." Qin Wentian thanked Yi Qing.
"Before that cultivation base, what's the point of having the identity of a monarch or governor?" Shan Lengqiu spoke in a low voice. "Let's go."
"Unaffiliated cultivator, Tianwen." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded, not revealing his true identity. Everyone calmly glanced at Qin Wentian, their attitude towards Qin Wentian was no longer as friendly as Murong Xiaoxiao. Beauties would always have an advantage.
