For ten thousand years, the Demon Path had not only been searching for the Heavenly Book, but also the three islands.
The Heavenly Book was not the only way to enter the Peach Blossom. The earliest Path to Heaven was related to the three celestial mountains.
However, in the vast sea, it was extremely difficult to find an inconspicuous island whose location was not fixed. In the past ten thousand years, they had found Fangzhang and Penglai one after another, but they had never found the whereabouts of Kunlun.
Just when they thought that the operation had failed, the situation took another turn.
The three of them stared at the vortex in the sky, their eyes blazing.
After the golden light passed, the whirlpool that appeared in the sky was too shocking. Whether it was the devil path experts or the righteous path experts, all of them were unable to take their eyes off the slowly rotating whirlpool. All of their attention was attracted to it.
As the vortex slowly rotated, a strange power surged out of the vortex.
Feeling that strange power, Li Mu's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out, "This is …"
The power that surged out of the vortex was very similar to the power of the Great Sky Stealing Array. Soon, it spread to everyone's side.
After a moment, Li Mu was shocked to find that his spiritual power, which had not increased for many days, showed signs of a breakthrough. Li Mu and the Empress looked at each other and saw the same surprise in her eyes.
At this moment, they were not the only ones who felt this.
Almost all the experts here, whether they were of the Righteous Path or the Demon Path, felt the signs of the spiritual power in their bodies increasing. Ao Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was not only his spiritual power that showed signs of growth, but also his lifespan.
The power that surged out of the vortex could not only increase one's cultivation, but also their lifespan!
At this moment, all the experts present looked at the vortex in the sky with a strong desire in their eyes.
In the Ten Continents where the Spiritual Qi was very thin, the world behind the vortex was a fatal attraction to them.
Xuan Tian, Yuan Luo, You Quan, and the Three Ancestors of the Fiend Dao immediately flew towards the vortex. Only by entering the peach garden at the first moment and seizing the initiative would they be able to monopolize the path to heaven and prevent others from entering.
Taking a breath of the Peach Blossom Qi would loosen their bottlenecks. They only needed to cultivate in the Peach Blossom for a period of time, and their cultivation would soar. At that time, whether it was Tian Jizi, Emperor Bai, or Li Mu, they would be no match for them.
At that time, the life and death of the billions of living beings in the ten continents would be in their hands.
As long as they sacrificed all of them, they would be able to make up for their cultivation that had lagged behind in the past ten thousand years. It would only be a matter of time before they could enter the Peach Garden and take revenge for the destruction of their sect.
The Three Ancestors of the Demonic Dao looked excited as they approached the vortex at their fastest speed.
However, when they were halfway there, their bodies came to an abrupt halt and they all raised their heads to look at the vortex.
A ripple had appeared within the vortex at some point, and it was continuously expanding, as if something was trying to come out of the vortex. At the same time, a formless pressure spread out, stopping You Quan and the others from advancing.
In the next moment, a huge head popped out from the ripples that were constantly spreading.
It was the head of a beast that looked like a horse but was not. It had sharp horns on its head and black scales covered its neck. There had never been such a creature in the Ten Continents.
The beast's head was huge. Just its head alone was a hundred feet long, and its complete body was at least a hundred feet long.
The aura it exuded was comparable to that of Emperor Bai and Xuan Tian.
This was a level-eight Exotic Beast, exactly the same as a certain Exotic Beast that Li Mu had seen in the Heavenly Book …
When the Three Ancestors of the Demonic Dao saw this, their expressions changed. Xuan Tian's voice was filled with shock and anger. "Barge Beast! Why is there a Barge Beast in the Peach Blossom?!"
In ancient times, there was a beast that looked like a horse, with a white body and a black tail. It had a horn, tiger teeth, claws, and a drum like sound. Its name was Barge.
The Barge Beast was a type of Exotic Beast from ancient times. Like other ferocious beasts, it was ferocious and had wreaked havoc on the earth in ancient times. Countless humans and cultivators had died at its hands. However, ever since the Sage Sect sacrificed a hundred thousand disciples and fought a final battle with the Exotic Beast at the cost of the sect's destruction, the Barge Beast went extinct just like the other Exotic Beasts. Not a single Barge Beast had appeared in the Ten Continents for ten thousand years.
This was the first time the Three Ancestors of the Demonic Dao had seen an Exotic Beast from ten thousand years ago.
At this moment, the Barge Beast's entire body had squeezed out of the whirlpool.
It was shaped like a horse with a horn on its head. Its body was covered in thick scales, and its claws were as sharp as a tiger's. Ever since it had descended from the whirlpool, an extremely ferocious aura had spread in all directions.
However, when it sensed the powerful auras around it, especially Xuan Tian, Yuan Luo, Emperor Bai, and the others, the ferocious look in its eyes faded and was replaced by deep fear. It turned its head abruptly and squeezed back into the whirlpool.
The whirlpool in the sky continued to spin, but everyone's gaze turned from longing to fear.
"What was that just now!"
"I've never seen it before. Could that be the Exotic Beast they were talking about?"
"There are actually such powerful murderers in this world. Did they also once exist in the Ten Continents?"
…
Everyone could not help but murmur. Xuan Tian, Yuan Luo, and You Quan, who were at the front, were shocked and shook their heads repeatedly. "Impossible, this is impossible. Exotic Beasts have already gone extinct in the Ten Continents. We personally eradicated them. How could there be Exotic Beasts in the Peach Garden? Could it be that Exotic Beasts also went to the Peach Garden …"
The three of them looked at each other, and in the next moment, they flew toward the whirlpool without hesitation.
Worried that the Three Ancestors of the Demonic Dao were up to something, Li Mu turned to the Empress and said, "Wait for me here …"
With that, he flew up, followed by Tian Jizi and Emperor Bai.
Zhou Yi did not listen to Li Mu and followed without hesitation.
If that Exotic Beast could pass through the whirlpool, others should be able to as well. When he was about to pass through the whirlpool, Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but still flew in without hesitation.
When he passed through the whirlpool, there was a slight feeling of obstruction, as if he had passed through a layer of water. Then, all the pores on Li Mu's body opened up, greedily absorbing an extremely abundant power.
His stagnant cultivation began to slowly increase. Although Li Mu was still very young and could not foresee the limits of his lifespan, he was very clear that at this moment, his lifespan was also slowly increasing …
The legends were correct. The other end of the Path to Heaven was a paradise for cultivators.
But this thought only existed in Li Mu's mind for a moment.
He raised his head and found that they were in a vast and boundless space. The sky here was gray, and although the spiritual energy was very abundant, it was also filled with a fiendish aura.
And the source of this fiendish aura was quickly determined by Li Mu.
On the ground in the distance, there were Exotic Beasts hundreds of feet tall walking slowly. In the sky, there were also countless Exotic Beasts flying. At a glance, Li Mu saw no less than dozens of Exotic Beasts. It was as if they had not come to a paradise, but a nest of Exotic Beasts.
A familiar aura came from beside him, and Li Mu's expression changed. He turned to the Empress and said in surprise, "Why are you here too!?"
Zhou Yi glanced at him and did not speak. Li Mu had a helpless expression. He could only take her hand and say, "Stay by my side, don't run around …"
In a strange space, the three ancestors of the Demonic Path looked at the scene in front of them with shock.
On the ground, there were many Exotic Beasts' corpses. It was unknown how long they had been dead, but they had all turned into fossils. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Li Mu quickly walked forward.
In front of him, there was a dead Exotic Beast with a sword stabbed into its forehead.
This sword was already rusty and had no spiritual energy at all. There were also many flaws on the blade. A petrified corpse held the sword with both hands, as if it had used all its strength to stab it into the Exotic Beast's head in its final moments.
A figure quickly flew to Li Mu's side. Li Mu had a vigilant expression. He held the Empress with one hand and formed a seal with the other. If Xuan Tian did anything, Li Mu would immediately let him taste the backlash of the paradise.
However, Xuan Tian didn't even look at Li Mu. His eyes swept over the petrified corpse and focused on the sword. After a long time, he hoarsely said, "Pure Yang Sword, Master Pure Yang …"
Another figure flew over. Tian Jizi stood in front of the petrified corpse. He slowly reached out a hand and gently stroked the stone corpse's face. Then, he fell into a long silence.
Li Mu looked around and discovered that among the Exotic Beast corpses, there were also many human corpses.
They had clearly been dead for a long time, and their bodies had already turned into fossils. It was difficult to recognize their original faces.
Yuan Luo came to the ground and looked at the one-armed corpse beside a Exotic Beast corpse. After a long silence, he said with difficulty, "Daoist Xuan Cheng …"
You Quan dragged his injured body and wandered through the forest of Exotic Beast corpses. He spoke again and again with an indescribable expression. His voice grew weaker and weaker, "Taoist priest Zhen Yi, Wanderer Wu You, Tiannuzi, Wuweizi …"
