Fifth Heavenly Layer
In Shanhai City, the hierarchy was extremely strict, and it was impossible to cross it. Unless one possessed sufficient strength to barge through the barriers, for example, the Ancient Mountain Gate. In order to enter the Ancient Mountain Gate, one had to defeat twelve Ancient Sage 1-Dan experts one by one with the strength of the ancient sages before one could enter the Ancient Mountain Gate.
Clearly, Xu Anyuan's strength was the weakest. This was something they could not tolerate. Hence, they acted immediately to stop Xu Anyuan from entering.
Seeing such an outcome, many Ancient Sages and First Heavens of Ancient Emperors sucked in a breath of cold air. It was too powerful. Only one of them had made a move. If the others had made a move as well, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The peak Fourth Heavenly Layer Ancient Sages stomped down. Before he even used his full strength, the bodies of the twelve First Heavenly Layer Ancient Sages were already torn apart. The Great Dao of Hell within the bodies of the twelve First Heavenly Layer Ancient Sages worked to repair their broken bodies. Even so, they were still seriously injured. Fear could be seen in their eyes, and they did not dare to say another word.
"Scram." After Xu Anyuan said this word coldly, the group flew towards the Second Mountain Pass. The twelve First Heavenly Layer Ancient Sages were shocked out of their wits. They could not imagine that Xu Anyuan, a half-step Ancient Sage, would have such power. How could he command so many experts? This was unbelievable.
Xuanyuan and the others continued to move forward. With the Firmament Beast, the Poison Hellbeast, and the Bird of Underworld leading the way, their momentum was too great. Even the strength of their mounts was at the third and fourth level of the ancient saint realm. One could imagine how powerful their masters were. More importantly, among these people, there was even a princess of the Shen clan with such a majestic Qi and blood. She must have something important to discuss with the Lord of the Mountain Sea Palace. Otherwise, no one would dare to be so brazen.
The experts at the Second Mountain Pass were very smart. They asked about it, but Xu Anyuan and the others ignored them. They did not pursue the matter.
This was because there were experts from the Three Mountain Passes and Four Mountain Passes guarding them. If they were not strong enough, they would definitely not be able to pass. Hence, they did not worry too much.
Three passes on the mountain.
The twelve Ancient Sage Third Heaven experts looked into the distance at the Firmament Beast, Poison Hellbeast, and Yellow Springs Bird with deep frowns on their faces.
"I wonder what kind of bigwigs have come this time. To think that they would be able to gather such a huge force. Taking into account the seven Yellow Springs Birds, there should be a total of 41 Ancient Sage Fourth Heaven cultivators and above. The rest are negligible."
"Even the four passes of the mountain can't stop them. Let's not poke our noses into other people's business. In the Underworld, there are many experts, and there are so many terrifying inheritances that we can't even count them. Who knows which region they came from?"
"Among them, there's even an existence on the level of the God Race's princess. I'm afraid that something big is about to happen. I have a premonition."
On the third mountain pass, they just watched as Xu Anyuan and the others flew through the air without the slightest obstruction.
Xu Anyuan was secretly delighted. "Looks like this method is feasible. With such an open and aboveboard method, they definitely won't dare to provoke us. Next, we just have to deal with the five passes of the mountain and the hall master of the Mountain Sea Palace."
The experts present were also full of praise for Xu Anyuan. If not for his wisdom, the group would not have been able to progress so smoothly.
They had long sensed the aura of Xu Anyuan and the others on the fourth pass of the mountain. They were simply too domineering, sweeping through everything in their path. Whoever dared to stop them would be crushed with a single stomp. Even though they had shown mercy, it was still too overbearing. This was the first time in Mount Taishan City that someone had dared to act so rudely.
"What do you think? Should we stop them?" a Fourth Heaven Ancient Sage expert on the fourth pass of the mountain asked.
"Are you stupid? Unless you're courting death. These people have already stepped into the peak of the Fourth Heaven Ancient Sage realm and are close to the Fifth Heaven Ancient Sage realm. Only the old man of the fifth pass of the mountain can stop them, but the old man alone can't stop so many people. The people of the Mountain Sea Palace will most likely step in."
"Then we can only let them pass like this?" One of the Ancient Sages felt very reluctant.
"Otherwise, you can go ahead and make your move. In any case, I'm going to hide first."
"…"
While they were talking, Xu Anyuan and the others had also flown past the fourth pass of the mountain. The vanity of the spectre dragon immediately swelled to the extreme. Stepping into the fourth pass of the mountain was something it had been looking forward to its entire life, and today, it actually succeeded because of Xu Anyuan. In this world, the yin qi of cultivation was incomparably integrated. Indeed, the world behind each pass was different. It seemed like there was still a chance for it to enter the fifth pass of the mountain, so it became even more excited.
The fifth pass of the mountain was right in front of them. It was shrouded in clouds and mist. The five passes of the mountain were extremely majestic, and they were closely connected to the mountain range, extending far into the distance. Xu Anyuan waved his hand, signaling for everyone to slow down.
This pass was incomparably tall, spanning thousands of li. It was majestic and imposing, and the huge pass was visually stunning.
An old man sat on the pass. His hair and beard were all white, but his physique was incomparably sturdy. Sitting there, he gave off the feeling that he was building a ditch that no one could ever cross. At least, that was what Xu Anyuan thought.
It was likely that the old man guarding the fifth stage had already reached Ancient Sage 5-dan, making him an incredibly powerful expert. Even though there was only one of him, he was already on a completely different level compared to the other four stages of the mountain. There was no way they could be placed in the same category as before.
Although they were cautious, Xu Anyuan's side did not have the slightest bit of fear. The old man opened his eyes, stood up, and placed his hands behind his back. A surge of surging yin qi swept in all directions. If not for the fact that Xu Anyuan had consumed the Three Lives Undying Pill, he really would not have been able to withstand it. Before the old man could speak, Xu Anyuan took the initiative and spoke in a commanding tone, "Take us to the Mountain Sea Palace."
The old man looked at Xu Anyuan, clearly displeased with Xu Anyuan's attitude. He said coldly, "Why?"
"You can't stop us," Xu Anyuan said simply and straightforwardly. He used the most direct method to prove his strength.
The old man looked at the countless experts behind Xu Anyuan. The seven Yellow Springs Birds alone were enough to give him a headache. After a short pause, he frowned and said, "Forget it. Come with me."
Even in the Underworld, there were not many people who could reach the Fifth Heaven of Ancient Sage Realm in their lifetime. Only the weakest could be left behind to guard this place. The real experts would all be gathered in the Mountain Sea Palace or the Mountain Sea Pass.
The old man turned around and left. Xu Anyuan gave the others a look, and they followed closely behind. Everyone was amazed by Xu Anyuan's confidence to speak to someone who had one foot in the Fifth Heaven of Ancient Sage Realm in such a manner. Under the old man's lead, the group flew over the Five Great Passes and finally saw a huge palace in front of them. It was tens of thousands of zhang tall and reached into the clouds. It covered an area of 100,000 li, and it was completely forged from precious mountain rocks. The entire Mountain Sea Palace was like a terrifying supreme dao treasure. It was incomparably sturdy. This was everyone's first impression.
The walls of the Mountain Sea Palace were carved with strange beasts. On them, Xu Anyuan saw Bi Fang, Taotie, Qiongqi, Golden Crow, and many other supernatural beasts. He marveled in his heart.
These carvings were like the work of the gods, and they were extremely powerful.
However, Xu Anyuan's gaze did not linger on them for long. The palace was richly ornamented and majestic. Walking into the palace, there were 12 experts on the left and right. All of them had one foot in the Fifth Heaven of Ancient Sage Realm. They were terrifying. The one sitting on the main seat of the palace was an Fifth Heaven of Ancient Emperor Realm expert. He gave off an unfathomable feeling, like the vast sea of stars.
"Who are you?" a terrifying existence from the Underworld asked.
"My name is Xia Huangquan." Xu Anyuan randomly made up a name.
"Where did you come from? I've never heard of such a person in the Underworld. You've forced your way into my Mountain Sea Palace. What's the matter? If you can't give us a reason, you will all be punished. "A terrifying existence from the Underworld was clearly unhappy with the methods of Xu Anyuan and his group.
"On the day of the war between the Underworld and the Shen Clan, many of the princes of the Underworld lost their homes and were trapped in the void universe. We are the descendants of the Taishan Temple. You must be familiar with the Firmament Beast, the Poison Beast, and the Bird of the Underworld." Xuanyuan sneered.
"Alright, just state your purpose of coming." The Mountain Sea Palace Leader, who was at the Fifth Heaven of Ancient Emperor Realm, finally spoke. Indeed, these ancient beasts were not from the lineage of the Mount Tai Temple.
"It's very simple. Now that the Eight Major Entrances have been suppressed by the Human Race, only the Mount Tai Entrance is unguarded. This shows the strength of the Mount Tai Temple. We have always been comparable to Yama Hall. The princess of the Shen Race that we brought this time is the key to our cooperation."
Seeing that no one said anything, Xu Anyuan continued, "She is the strongest of the Shen Race's younger generation, the Thorn Goddess. This time, she is the representative of the Shen Race to negotiate with the Underworld. Now that the Nine Major Entrances of the Underworld are under the control of the Human Race, the Human Race has joined forces with the Archean royalty to do their best. Just like during the Ancient Chaos Era, the Shen Race and the Underworld were suddenly attacked from both sides, resulting in the Shen Race's defeat. As a result, the Central Divine Prefecture was ruled by the Human Race for a long time. I believe you all understand why I am here, so there is no need to explain further."
"Understood. Alright, when the time comes, I will give credit to you. Xia Huangquan, other than that, what else do you want?" The Mountain Sea Palace Leader chuckled and said calmly.
Everyone looked at Xu Anyuan, wondering what he would propose!
