Dressed in casual clothes, Ye Xuan stood on top of a mountain that was hundreds of meters tall, overlooking the land in front of him.
This place was Mount Lu of Lushan City in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. In ancient times, the immortal poet Li Bai wrote a poem about this place: "Flying water descending three thousand feet, I suspect it is the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens."
This mountain was not an ordinary mountain. It was once called the sixty-nine blessed lands of Daoism. There was a great formation in its depths, and its aura rose like a purple dragon. There was a faintly discernible dragon Qi hidden in the mountains.
He had never learned the art of Feng Shui, but he had a pair of divine eyes that could see through all illusions and see all the Qi in the world. The mere providence of this mountain was naturally not a problem for him.
The main reason he came here was because Ye Xuan remembered that in the original work, Ye Fan had also come here to obtain the first incomplete map of entering Kunlun to become a deity.
Since he could follow the map, he naturally chose the simplest method.
His eyes shone brightly as he looked at the entire mountain range. After a while, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Perhaps in ancient times, Mount Lu was indeed a blessed land, a rare holy land for cultivation. However, today, especially after the arrival of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains hundreds of thousands of years ago, absorbing the energy of the entire Earth to make up for the Deity Cauldron, the veins of the entire Earth began to collapse.
Even with the support of the dragon veins, the terrain of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains was too overbearing. Even the terrain of the entire planet couldn't resist the dragon veins. No dragon veins could withstand such a daily absorption. Even Kunlun, known as the Ancestral Dragon's Vein, was gradually drying up. The dragon veins were weakening, not to mention the terrain of Mount Lu.
With Ye Xuan's divine eyes, although there was still a strand of dragon vein Qi hidden in the terrain of Mount Lu, it was only at the last moment. Perhaps in a few decades, or even a hundred years, the dragon vein under this area would eventually dry up. In the end, this area would become a dead land that couldn't be cultivated.
Perhaps when the sages left this ancient planet, they had already foreseen the future. That was why they opened up the ancient path in the stars and left their homeland.
After all, the only way for the entire planet to recover was to take out the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and destroy the situation in the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains.
However, the entire Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains were built by the Venerable Emperors of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Not only were there Saint Level and Great Saint Level Formations, but there were also several flawless Great Emperor Runes protecting it. Unless there was a Great Emperor, no matter how many people came, it would be useless.
It was precisely because of this that when there was no hope, those ancient sages who were successful in their cultivation would travel far away into the starry sky in search of other holy lands for cultivation.
"According to the original work, the underground palace should be opened under the Dragon Vein …" Muttering to himself, Ye Xuan's eyes shone brightly. Two beams of light shot out of his eyes, piercing through the earth and into the ground.
"Found it. So it's beside the Dragon Vein. The Dragon Vein has concealed its aura. No wonder we couldn't find it!" Not long after, Ye Xuan finally saw a dark, deep hole in the ground of a giant mountain. Even with the aura of the Dragon Vein concealing it, he could still feel waves of murderous intent overflowing from the hole.
With a thought, a thin layer of light appeared on Ye Xuan's body. Then, his entire body turned into nothingness and slowly sank into the ground.
Even though he didn't purposely cultivate the so-called Burrowing Technique, at his level of cultivation, not to mention the five elements, Yin and Yang, he had even touched upon the laws of space. If he understood one, he would understand all. Burrowing into the ground and flying into the sky was only a matter of thought for him.
After entering the bottom of the giant mountain and entering the hole, there was a dense murderous intent lingering at the entrance. Normal cultivators wouldn't even be able to resist it.
"There's the aura of a Divine Spiritual Killing Array!" With regards to matrixes, Ye Xuan had studied them quite a bit. Naturally, he could distinguish the level of matrixes. For a matrix like this, forget about a trace of murderous intent, even if it was placed in front of him, he would be able to break it easily. Naturally, it wouldn't be a problem for him. Ye Xuan stepped into the hole.
The hole was deep and dark. There was no light at all. Moreover, it was deep underground. Ye Xuan felt like he had fallen for almost a thousand meters before he touched the bottom of the hole again. Then, he discovered a vast underground palace.
This underground palace was extremely vast and was built very grandly. There were pavilions, terraces, and pavilions.
Unfortunately, there was no one here. This was because the space here was filled with an even denser aura of murderous intent. Ordinary people wouldn't be affected, but if someone with cultivation stayed here, they would probably be turned into cultivators in no time.
No wonder there wasn't a single person in this underground palace. It was completely because this place was a place of extinction for cultivators. It would be difficult for them to cultivate here.
Ye Xuan scanned the area with his divine consciousness and quickly found out the situation of this underground palace. Then, he didn't stay outside and directly walked in.
The underground palace was huge and there were many forks. It was like an underground maze. If it was a normal person, they would probably be trapped here for the rest of their lives.
However, Ye Xuan didn't. His footsteps were calm and leisurely. He didn't take any forks. Instead, he passed by one after another and directly walked into the depths of the underground palace.
The ground here was dry and hard. The void was filled with dense fiery Qi. Not only that, but the murderous intent here was so dense that it was almost tangible. It formed into killing swords that hung in the void, clanging and clanging.
And at the end of the underground palace, there was actually a huge altar. On top of the altar, there was a figure chained horizontally by chains forged from some unknown Godly metal. There were also wisps of Flame Essence rising from the bottom of the altar, roasting that figure.
Seeing the figure on the altar, even though he had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown.
This was because the figure on the altar was far too miserable. His head and limbs had all been chopped off. His entire body was as thin as a match. There wasn't a single bit of flesh and blood. It was as if he was a skeleton.
But even so, he was still chained to the altar and had to endure the burning of the Flame Essence day and night. It was clear that the person who used this method wanted to destroy this person's body and soul. This was an extremely vicious and cruel method.
"What a pity. This person's cultivation was at least at the level of a Supreme Leader!" Even though this person was already dead, the aura exuding from his corpse was still terrifying. It was obvious that this person's cultivation was not simple when he was alive. However, this person had been roasted by the Fire Essence for who knew how many years. His soul had died a long time ago. Coupled with the fact that his corpse had been roasted to such a state, there was no way to know his identity.
"The path of cultivation is filled with corpses. Even if one becomes a Saint or Emperor, if one is not careful, it will be difficult to escape death!" Looking at the miserable figure on the altar, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he warned himself.
However, Ye Xuan quickly recovered. At his state of mind, his Dao Heart was already as firm as iron and stone. Naturally, it wouldn't be easily affected by others.
