Seeing how afraid Niu Qingshan was of Shang Santian and Guan Shanyue, Ye Chen could not help but ask.
Ye Chen could not help but ask, "Is Guan Shanyue really that powerful?"
"He's more than powerful. It's not an exaggeration to describe him as terrifying!"
Niu Qingshan shook his head slightly. The wrinkles on his old face were intertwined, and there was a hint of seriousness in his expression. "The Chinese Martial Dao was at its peak fifty years ago. At that time, there was no lack of Martial Venerables in the world. However, my Little Junior Brother was still able to dominate the world. Most importantly, I suspect that he has entered Kunlun before."
"Kunlun?" Ye Chen frowned.
"The entrance to Shang Santian is in Kunlun!"
Niu Qingshan coughed violently a few times and said, "However, no one knows where this entrance is. Back then, Youngest Junior Brother was very close to the people of Shang Santian. Later on, he disappeared for three months, so I suspect that he entered Shang Santian and obtained some sort of opportunity."
"I suppose that's why the Heavenly Palace stopped me from killing the people from Shang Santian?" Ye Chen came to a realization and fell into deep thought.
Guan Shanyue was related to Shang Santian or had some kind of deal with them. That was why he sent the people from the Heavenly Palace to stop him.
"That's right!"
Niu Qingshan nodded lightly. "Although I severely injured Little Junior Brother when I fought him, that's because we're from the same sect. Moreover, we've known each other for half our lives, so we know each other very well."
"Don't worry about it!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly with a nonchalant expression. "I won't attack people if they don't attack me. If he really wants to attack me, I'd like to see exactly how powerful the martial arts legend from 50 years ago is."
"You're very confident!"
Niu Qingshan looked at him with a burning gaze. He could roughly guess Ye Chen's ability since he had killed many half-step martial venerables. However, it was hard to tell what would happen if he were to fight a real martial venerable.
Ye Chen interrupted him and asked, "Let's not talk about that. Do you know where the 10,000 Swords Pavilion is?"
According to Lin Tai, Wushuang was saved by an old beggar after the sword was broken. The old beggar even told Ye Chen to look for Wushuang at the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. However, he had never heard of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion.
"10,000 Swords Pavilion?"
Niu Qingshan was slightly stunned. He said after a moment of silence, "I've never heard of it. But I'm sure there's no such place in the entire China or even Southeast Asia."
He was the Dragon Soul King who had lived for more than a hundred years. It could be said that he had a thorough understanding of the world, but he still didn't know of the existence of this place.
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Seeing that he did not speak, Niu Qingshan seemed to have thought of something and added, "If there really is such a place, it must be at …"
"Shang Santian!" Ye Chen suddenly said.
"Not bad!"
Niu Qingshan looked at him in admiration, "In the entire China and even the entire world, only the existing Unknown Lands are unknown to me. For example, Shang Santian and the ancient Egyptian temples. These are the Unknown Lands!"
Although the Dragon Soul was strong, it was unable to penetrate these places.
Ye Chen secretly sighed.
It seemed like Wushuang had really been brought to Shang Santian. In that case, he had to make a trip to Shang Santian. Whether Wushuang was dead or alive, he had to bring him back.
As if sensing his thoughts, Niu Qingshan said, "It's very, very difficult for you to enter Shang Santian. This Unknown Place has existed for over a thousand years, and no one has been able to find any traces of it. Even the First Emperor of Qin back then couldn't find it despite using the power of the entire country."
"Why?" Ye Chen asked.
"Back then, after the First Emperor of Qin unified the country, he pursued the art of immortality. Subsequently, he sent many people to search for immortals. Some of them went overseas to look for immortal mountains while the rest went to Kunlun."
Niu Qingshan put away the tobacco pipe and said while shaking his head, "Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains and the ancestor of dragon veins. There are eight veins of dragon veins. Five veins flow into China while three veins flow into foreign countries. It's said that Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West's resting place. Therefore, the First Emperor of Qin wanted to look for the Queen Mother of the West, but everyone who went to Kunlun disappeared mysteriously."
"Did the people from Shang Santian find out?" Ye Chen asked.
"I'm not sure about that!"
Niu Qingshan shook his head and said, "The First Emperor of Qin was on the throne for 36 years. He started to believe in the art of immortality in 225 BC and died in 210 BC. Within 15 years, he sent over 10,000 people to Kunlun, but all of them disappeared mysteriously. Some said that they encountered demons and were eaten while some said that they were killed by the natives of Kunlun."
He paused as he spoke to this point and continued, "However, according to the information that I have, those people died at the border of Kunlun. They couldn't find the Queen Mother of the West's resting place until they died because there are many strange things happening in Kunlun Mountain."
"Strange things?" Ye Chen frowned.
"That's right!"
Niu Qingshan nodded. "Someone once saw with his own eyes that the monkeys of Mount Kunlun could learn to stand, eat vegetarian food, and chant the Diamond Sutra. Someone also said that on a certain night in Mount Kunlun, darkness would invade the night. Under the tide of darkness, a living person would be left with only a skeleton in an instant. Also, white fog would appear in Mount Kunlun, and when people walked out of the white fog, they would find themselves in a boundary two thousand miles away …"
A gleam flashed through Ye Chen's eyes when he heard that.
If what Niu Qingshan said was true, then Kunlun Mountain was really different from the outside world. However, he was not surprised. After all, compared to the cultivation world, Kunlun was just a tiny corner.
That made him even more determined to explore Kunlun.
Just when Niu Qingshan was going to say something, Li Ying walked over from far away. She said while smiling, "Boss, Mr. Ye, it's time to eat!"
"That's all I have to say. It's best that you let me know if there's anything you want to do in the future. Don't act recklessly. This world isn't as simple as you think!"
Niu Qingshan took a good look at Ye Chen before rolling up his pants and leaving. Ye Chen followed him and had a meal at the Dragon Soul Base.
He only left in the afternoon.
…
At the same time, somewhere in the sea.
A long-haired young man sat with his legs crossed 1,000 meters under the sea proudly. If one were to look closely, one would notice that there was no seawater around him. All of the seawater within five meters around him seemed to have moved away automatically, creating a vacuum zone.
Meanwhile, the young man was in the vacuum zone. He did not feel anything under the immense pressure of the seawater at all. His eyes were closed while a white glow flickered on his body. White energy was coming out of the top of his head.
As soon as the white energy came into contact with the seawater around, the seawater froze. A killer whale opened its mouth to swallow him. However, its massive body turned into an ice sculpture in the next second.
At that moment, the long-haired young man opened his eyes and took out something that looked like a phone. After watching the video for a few seconds, a smirk appeared on his cold face.
"My dear Senior Brother, you're so tough. You're still alive after being injured by me. Instead, that brat healed you and even became a martial venerable.
"But do you think you can stop me just like that?
Aren't you trapping yourself when you're trying to stop me? Do you really think that I, Guan Shanyue, can't do anything to that brat? "
…
