He did not see wrong. Each of the ten steps was covered in scarlet blood. It was very eye-catching, even somewhat too bright. A human's blood could not be so glaring.
The strange scene frightened the black-clad swordsman so much that he paled. He quickly looked at Jiang Tian and pleaded with a quivering voice, "Senior Jiang, save me!"
"Don't move."
Although Jiang Tian had a strange temper and a proud and aloof character, he would not leave a person in the lurch.
This matter surpassed Jiang Tian's expectations. There should not be any major problems with just ten steps. Even if there was a problem, it should not be this serious. Bloody footprints were an extremely ominous sign.
Originally, Jiang Tian wanted to make this black-clad swordsman suffer a little before dealing with him. However, it looked like the problem was bigger now.
This was not Jiang Tian's first time coming to this Mirage Immortal Palace. He had come here at least ten times. As long as he did not enter the Mirage Immortal Palace, given his means, he would not be in any danger.
However, it looked like something had changed. Someone had changed the geomancy of this place!
There was definitely something wrong with this abnormal situation. Nothing had happened even after coming here so many times. Aside from this, there could be no other reason.
"Don't move. I'll go over."
As Jiang Tian spoke, many azure-colored geomancy flags flew out of his body. They turned into beams of azure light. In the blink of an eye, they stabbed into the ground according to some kind of formation.
"Ah!"
Wherever the flag landed, blood splattered on the ground. Miserable screams rang out, causing those who heard it to panic. That black-clad swordsman was even more frightened. However, he did not dare to rush Jiang Tian.
At this moment, the entire ground started to tremble gently. As the ground trembled, it continuously elongated.
Such a strange scene made everyone even more afraid to act rashly. They all showed anxious expressions.
Only Jiang Tian remained calm as he walked forward step by step, leaving bloody footprints on the ground.
On the throne, Xiao Chen's expression did not change. A Dragon Fixing Needle appeared in his right hand. This was a Dragon Seeking Secret Treasure that he had once used to seek dragons and fix veins.
Although Xiao Chen had given up on cultivating as a Geomaster, he still had the Dragon Revealing Mirror, the Dragon Subduing Platform, and the Dragon Fixing Needle.
Light flickered under Jiang Tian's feet. With every step he took, the blood scattered and turned into beams of scarlet light surrounding his body.
Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, a series of terrifying cries came from outside the formation. A pair of green eyes flickered, accompanied by heavy breathing.
"What is it?" Feng Xiao asked, feeling a little nervous.
As a Martial Emperor, Xiao Chen possessed overwhelming strength. However, he did not know anything about these ghost-like ominous things.
The middle-aged couple also held their weapons with their right hands, ready to attack at any time.
Under the mask, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. This was not a good sign. Jiang Tian was busy dispelling the evil blood and had no time to take care of the formation.
The group of them would probably be thrown into disarray, and they might even kill each other.
The unknown was always the greatest source of fear.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen decided to make a move. He flicked his finger, and the Dragon Fixing Needle turned into a beam of light as it shot out. The mysterious existence outside the formation let out a miserable shriek and rolled on the ground.
At that moment, Jiang Tian had also completed his ten steps. All of the blood had been dispersed, and the ground had stopped squirming. Everything had returned to normal.
"Alright, it's safe for now."
Jiang Tian pointed to that black-clad swordsman, indicating that he could walk back. That black-clad swordsman felt like he was relieved of a heavy burden.
After standing there for so long without moving, his body had already stiffened long ago.
The black-clad swordsman raised his leg and took a step. "Boom!" His body shattered into pieces, not even a drop of blood leaking out. It turned out that he had already turned into a dried corpse without realizing it.
Xiao Chen now somewhat understood why the blood from earlier was overly bright. That was the essence blood of an Emperor, the black-clad swordsman's own blood.
Such a sudden scene startled everyone, their jaws nearly falling off. A Seventh Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor actually dismembered into pieces, dying instantly.
"Bastard! It turns out that he died the moment he took the first wrong step. What a waste of my time!"
Jiang Tian scolded angrily after taking a look.
"Senior Jiang, what's going on?" the hemp-robed old man asked Jiang Tian, suppressing the horror in his heart.
Jiang Tian did not hide it. He said honestly, "Someone changed the geomancy of this place. If I guessed right, it should be that group of Immortal Cultivators. Aside from them, no one else would dare to do this.
"The nineteen Psychic Mountains around us have all turned into Ghost Mountains. Yin and Yang are in chaos, the five elements are reversed. One wrong step and you end up like this fellow. "
Feng Xiao sucked in a sharp breath and said, "That incredible? He is the Seventh Heaven Emperor Wu. How could he die just like that?"
Jiang Tian smiled in disdain and said, "You are overthinking. Do you know how the Ghost Mountains were refined? They were built from the corpses and blood of Martial Emperors. During the Ancient Era, etiquette did not exist. The principles were unclear. There was no distinction between good and evil. Humans were no different from wild beasts. They did things crudely and viciously. When Emperor Wu died, he was no different from a wild beast, casually piled up like that.
"Only during the Immemorial Era did etiquette appear and people learned to rest in peace. In the following years, there were no more Ghost Mountains. All the Ghost Mountains in the world existed here. "
When Feng Xiao heard this secret, he felt slightly startled, somewhat unable to accept it.
"What are those Immortal Cultivators trying to do? Trap us here?" The hemp-robed old man thought even further, thinking about the Mirage Immortal Palace.
Jiang Tian said indifferently, "There's no need to think about it. There is definitely something in the Mirage Immortal Palace that they want. They cannot afford any mishaps. Otherwise, those fellows would not be so ruthless. "
"What should we do now? I discovered a Universe Origin Fruit in the Mirage Immortal Palace one hundred years ago. It just so happens to ripen now. Could it be that we are just going to give it up?"
The hemp-robed old man felt depressed. In a moment of carelessness, he revealed the secret in his heart.
"Tsk tsk! The Universe Origin Fruit is good stuff. It is rumored to be an Immortal Fruit that can increase one's cultivation by one thousand years. Old Mu, you really hid it well. Are you trying to use it to become a Prime? "
Jiang Tian said with a smile, not anxious about the situation at all.
The middle-aged couple, Feng Xiao, and Xiao Chen could not help looking at the hemp-robed old man.
There really is such a thing?
That is a legendary item. Even during the Immortal Epoch, it was an extremely rare natural treasure.
The hemp-robed old man could not care too much. He said sullenly, "Senior Jiang, I don't care. You have to send me to the Mirage Immortal Palace."
Such a scene happened on many mountains. The Supreme Elders of the various Holy Lands all forced their Geomasters to think of a way to get down the mountain.
It was not just Mu Yong. Everyone who came to the Mirage Immortal Palace had a purpose. They did not want to miss out on this rare opportunity. The next time the Mirage Immortal Palace appeared, they would miss out on the golden age.
Jiang Tian said indifferently, "That's impossible. The geomancy is already chaotic, and the Ghost Mountain is already formed. I can come and go as I please. However, if I want to bring someone along, there is no need to talk about that. Just obediently wait for one month, and you will be sent out. "
Seated on the throne, Xiao Chen looked up at the sky. The sky was dark; the sun, moon, and stars could not be seen. However, when Xiao Chen infused his Spiritual Sense into his eyes, he still managed to see the constellations in the sky.
Xiao Chen gently tapped his fingers on the armrest.
The hemp-robed old man felt very frustrated. However, he was much more shrewd than the black-clad swordsman. He knew that he could not be rash or force Jiang Tian.
The hemp-robed old man felt very sullen in his heart, not knowing what to do.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and sized up Jiang Tian. This old fellow's means were very powerful. It was impossible that he only had these few methods. He must have been holding something back. However, he did not want to get involved in this mess, so he purposely did not advance.
Xiao Chen observed the constellations. There were Geomasters executing their geomancy skills on the other Ghost Mountains, clashing with the mysterious phenomena of the Ghost Mountain as they headed down the mountain step by step.
Since the other Geomasters had means to break out of this situation, it was even more impossible for Jiang Tian to not have one.
Furthermore, from start to end, aside from some simple geomancy flags, Xiao Chen did not see Jiang Tian use any powerful dragon-seeking Secret Treasures.
He also did not see Jiang Tian use his treasure, the Worldly Universe Banner.
While Xiao Chen felt suspicious, he suddenly discovered Jiang Tian looking at him with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
