Compared to the squarish Fangzhang Immortal Mountain that was 5,000 kilometers long, the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain with a circumference of 4,000 kilometers was much smaller. However, the immortal mountain was still vast and could be called a giant island. It was like a small piece of land.
After Zhu Yi and the others broke through the formation, they quickly rushed toward the top of the immortal mountain.
Without any prior experience, they noticed that the top of the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain was where the spiritual Qi of the entire immortal mountain gathered.
The majestic spiritual Qi flowed down from the top of the mountain and into the belly of the mountain. It was like an axis that drove the immortal mountain.
As they walked, Zhu Yi and Li Yuanfang sensed something at the same time. They suddenly turned to look at the nameless ancient formation.
The two of them looked at each other. "Someone else has broken through the formation."
The speed at which they broke through the formation was not much slower than theirs. The reason why they were able to break through the nameless ancient formation so quickly was because Zhu Yi and Li Yuanfang had high attainments in formations. They were able to split up.
In the nameless ancient formation in the distance, a group of people landed on Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. They were the cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The person in the lead was neither King Jingfang Shi Lin nor Dao Master Changle. It was Shi Xingyun.
She looked up at the top of the mountain and vaguely sensed something. "It's Xuanmen Tianzong's fellow cultivators Zhu Yi and Li Yuanfang. It seems that the two of them are splitting up. Each of them is walking in a semicircle."
King Jingfang Shi Lin frowned slightly. Since he had been sent by Emperor Qin Shi Yu to lead the team to break through the nameless ancient formation and explore Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, he was naturally a cultivator with high attainments in formations. Coupled with Shi Xingyun's unknown superb formation skills, they were still slower than Xuanmen Tianzong even though they had split up and walked in a semicircle.
They had a combination of a second-tier Essence Soul realm cultivator and a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator. Yet, they were inferior to the other party's late-stage Yuanying cultivator and early-stage Golden Elixir cultivator.
Shi Lin said in a deep voice, "Let's go. We'll rush to the top of the mountain immediately."
"Yes, Royal Uncle." Shi Xingyun nodded. Dao Master Everlasting Joy did not say anything else. He called for the other cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty to take Shi Xingyun and follow behind Shi Lin.
Not long after they left, the void shook again. The Great Zhou Dynasty cultivators finally passed through the formation and arrived at Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
Monk Da Kong looked at the peak of the mountain and shook his head with a smile. "Although I have the experience and guidance of the seniors from the Buddhist sects, one person's speed is still not as fast as two people working together to break the formation."
Beside him, Venerable Sword Listener didn't say anything. Sword cultivators were never good at formations. Even if they were, they were good at sword formations, which were very different from ordinary formations. Their reference value was very limited.
Monk Da Kong sighed with emotion. Then, he flew toward the top of the mountain. Tide-listening Sword Venerable and the others followed closely behind.
Zhu Yi and the others were in the lead. They headed toward the top of Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. Along the way, there were spiritual medicines and herbs everywhere, which were dazzling to the eyes. The abundant spiritual qi was also a suitable environment for cultivators to cultivate.
"Although it's not as good as Yujing Mountain, it's better than the Xuantian Realm. There are many resources on the mountain. Even if it's not as good as the Xuantian Realm, which is a medium-sized world, the variety and quantity are quite considerable."
Zhu Yi glanced at Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. "Moreover, there's also the Jade Spring that Senior Qing Like mentioned, which can help improve the cultivation of magic treasures."
Although Qing Like and Yu Ji longed for the Jade Spring, they knew that it was not the time for them to soak in the spring. They would naturally have time after Lin Feng, Zhu Yi, and the others took control of Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
Similar to the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, there were many illusions on Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. Many spiritual medicines and treasures on the Dead Mountain were actually created by the illusions.
The most dangerous and most deceptive illusion was located at the peak of Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. It distorted time and space, creating a fake peak that leaked a majestic spiritual energy pulse to confuse the climbers.
After a long period of searching, victory was finally right in front of them. As long as they took that last step, Yingzhou Immortal Mountain would fall into their hands. After controlling it, it would be endlessly useful, and they would be able to walk freely in the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
The more difficulties they had experienced before, the stronger and more realistic the feeling of finally getting what they wanted was.
However, Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, and the others firmly suppressed this thought. They were not confused by the illusions, and they carefully analyzed and restored the void. They immediately realized that the illusions were actually in the sky far away from the peak of the mountain.
Compared to the peak of Yingzhou Immortal Mountain in front of them, it was like a reflection in a mirror.
Zhu Yi and the others broke through the illusions and landed on the peak of Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. The moment they steadied themselves, the entire Yingzhou Immortal Mountain seemed to shake.
Light runes lit up on the peak of the mountain, forming a huge circular array. It was not used to trap and kill enemies, but to guide Zhu Yi and the others into the belly of the mountain!
After entering the belly of the mountain, it was pitch-black, and there was no light.
There was no natural light, and even when Zhu Yi and the others wanted to create light, they realized that they could not see their fingers in front of them.
"This is somewhat similar to the Eternal Night Devil Stele's power concept. It is like the primordial darkness, and the eternal night slumber will devour the light." Zhu Yi and the others did not panic, and they used their divine senses to explore the path. Silently, they felt the spiritual energy flow in the belly of the mountain.
The majestic and vast spiritual energy gathered together like a tide, and there was an obvious direction.
Zhu Yi and the others followed the direction of the Spiritual Qi tide. Along the way, there were still quite a number of magical power restrictions blocking their way. Everyone dealt with them as they saw them, resolving them one by one. In the end, they actually managed to catch a glimpse of a faint light.
"It's here." Zhu Yi and the others were invigorated, and they advanced in the direction of the light. The further they went, the more obvious the light became.
At the end, a wall appeared in front of them. This wall was as translucent as crystal, and it emitted a gentle light.
But strangely, this translucent crystal wall did not reflect Zhu Yi and the others' figures like a mirror.
The group exchanged looks, feeling that the wall in front of them was a little strange. Zhu Yi reached out his palm and touched the wall. It was not cold, but warm. He tried to tear through the void and pass through the wall, but he realized that he could not do it.
He tried to forcefully destroy the wall, but he realized that the wall was like a wave. It only shook and distorted slightly before returning to its original state.
Zhu Yi frowned slightly. "Only an expert at the third level of the Essence Soul realm, or at the Dao Integration Realm, can hope to forcefully break it. No, even an expert at the Dao Integration Realm might not be able to do it. Probably only a Creation-grade Dharma treasure can do it."
White Light walked forward and touched the crystal wall gently. A moment later, he said, "This wall is probably related to illusions, and it's a very mysterious and powerful illusionary realm. It's just that we can't seem to enter it?"
White Light was from the White Jade Dragon Clan. The White Jade Dragon Clan's innate divine ability was to transform between the real and the virtual worlds. It was an extremely brilliant spatial illusionary technique. Although it was not the Fox clan and the Mirage Monsters' Dao of Illusion, it was more sensitive to spatial changes.
"It's different from the previous illusionary realm. Not only is it preventing us from falling into it, but it's also repelling us from entering it."
After listening to White Light's analysis, Zhu Yi looked at Qing Like's jade table. "Senior Qing Like, with the passage of time, many of the things that have been passed down are actually somewhat specious."
"It couldn't be better to ask a witness like you who already existed in the Middle Ages. Back then, did anyone really ascend the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou and see the illusionary realm that we're facing now?"
Qing Like was not in a hurry to answer. Slowly after a moment of silence, she said, "I only heard it from others. I can't confirm the authenticity of the information."
"Rumor has it that in the early years of the Middle Ages, there was an elder of the Tempest Temple who was at the third level of the Golden Body Realm. His name was Monk Zhi Guang. He broke through the nameless ancient formation and entered the belly of the mountain through the formation at the top of the mountain."
"But in the end, Monk Zhi Guang failed to control the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou and was expelled by the vast power of the Immortal Sea. He returned to the Tempest Temple alive and mentioned that there was a strange illusionary realm in the belly of the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou that repelled outsiders."
"Perhaps it's the illusionary realm in front of us." Qing Like said, "Monk Zhi Guang intended to visit the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou again when the three mountains reappeared. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to wait for the right time and passed away due to other matters."
Jie Feng curled his lips. "After the attacks of generations of powerhouses, the protective restrictions on the three mountains of the Immortal Sea are indeed getting weaker and weaker. At least we weren't expelled by the Immortal Mountain using the power of the Immortal Sea. However, it's not a good idea to linger outside the door of the treasury."
"The Immortal Mountain's restrictions are still very strong." Zhu Yi rubbed the voice transmission crystal in his hand. "This strange illusionary realm should be formed by the combination of the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou and the mysterious power of the entire Immortal Sea. This means that we're getting closer and closer to controlling the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou."
"We can't get in touch with Master and the rest on the Immortal Mountain. I don't know if Eldest Senior Brother and the rest have arrived. If they're in the nameless ancient formation now, we can get in touch with them and help them break the formation as soon as possible."
Zhu Yi put away the voice transmission crystal and started to seriously examine the illusionary realm that looked like a crystal wall in front of him.
While Xuanmen Tianzong and the rest were studying the illusionary realm, the cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty arrived at the top of the mountain one after another and entered the belly of the mountain through the formation.
The space inside the belly of the mountain was quite strange. The three groups were completely separated and encountered different restrictions on the Immortal Mountain.
However, all of them reached the same destination by different means. They all encountered a crystal-like wall that blocked their paths.
"The core illusionary realm of the Immortal Mountain of Yingzhou is also the link between the Immortal Mountain and the Immortal Sea."
Monk Da Kong took a deep breath and took out a Buddhist relic.
The Buddhist relic looked dim and small like a date pit. It was pitch-black and inconspicuous.
"Patriarch Zhi Guang, disciple will need to borrow your experience and wisdom." Monk Da Kong put his palms together and chanted sutras silently. The Buddhist relic flew into the sky and still looked inconspicuous. It was not like the ordinary Buddhist relic that shone with Buddha light or the sound of chanting and sandalwood incense.
But there was a sense of freedom and tranquility within, a profound Zen intent that made one feel at ease.
Suddenly, black sutras surged out of the Buddhist relic like ropes and entered the crystal wall!
At the same time, black sutras that looked like ropes wrapped around Monk Da Kong's body.
