The Purple Mountain was very spacious. It was not as steep and high as the outside world.
There were crisscrossing paths inside, shining with all kinds of lights, leading in all directions.
As the misty purple light fell, it felt like a giant mountain was hanging over people's heads. It gave people an inexplicable pressure.
Rocks were scattered everywhere. There were all kinds of marks on the walls. There were knife, spear, sword, halberd, and claw marks, as if they were telling the story of the battle that had taken place here.
As soon as Jiang Chen and the black-robed old man arrived here, they felt a great and dreadful pressure falling from above, as if it was going to crush them.
"Could it be that the Purple Mountain is suppressing something?"
The black-robed old man frowned. He chose a random path and walked on it. Then he could not help but curse. He threw Jiang Chen onto the ground unhappily.
"Senior, thank you for saving my life again. I won't forget it."
Jiang Chen hurried to get to his feet. He did not blame the black-robed old man for his rude behavior. Instead, he bowed to him respectfully. He was very grateful.
He had been desperate. He did not have any way to fight back.
Even the weapon spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune in his mind could not save him in time.
However, to his surprise, the black-robed old man had been following him secretly and had saved him again. He was grateful and excited. He felt like he had just survived a disaster. He broke out in a cold sweat.
"Forget it, forget it. Whenever you can make this old man feel less worried, that would be the greatest gratitude you can give to this old man."
The black-robed old man snorted. He was very unhappy. "Why don't you just practice in the School of Divine Ruins? Why don't you think about revenge when you've achieved something? But you don't listen to me. You think you're capable, so you want to meddle in everything. "
"I can save you once, but do you think I can save you all the time? It's not like you don't know how scary that Gu Changge is. Why do you have to provoke him?"
"If there's a next time, I won't save you …"
Although the black-robed old man was scolding him, Jiang Chen felt warm in his heart when he realized the old man was really worried about him.
Although the black-robed old man was not a good person, he had saved him many times.
On the other hand, although Gu Changge, Ji Yaoxing, and the others looked righteous, their actions were much more ruthless than the black-robed old man.
"Senior, I understand. Once I'm done here, I'll find a place to bitterly cultivate the Myriad Demonic Metamorphosis Technique. I'll only come out when my cultivation base is high enough."
Jiang Chen looked resolute as he promised.
After the events of the past few days, he had deeply felt the importance of power in this world.
The reason why Gu Changge could easily suppress Ji Chuyue, Ji Yaoxing, and the others and make them treat him with respect and reverence was because Gu Changge was stronger than them!
"It's useless to talk about this now. That Gu Changge definitely won't let you go. This Purple Mountain is very mysterious. In this place, even this old man is greatly restricted. It's very difficult for me to help you."
"If you can't find a way out here, you'll end up dead. Revenge? Hehe. "
The black-robed old man smiled coldly. He looked quite disdainful.
Jiang Chen also understood the importance of this matter. There was no way out, and there were pursuers behind, so he hurried to communicate with the artifact spirit of the Blessed Immortal Boat in his mind.
The artifact spirit of the Blessed Immortal Boat had told him it would be able to deal with other enemies after entering the Purple Mountain.
This gave Jiang Chen a glimmer of hope.
"Don't worry, Little Chenzi. I've sensed a familiar energy here. It seems to have been left by an old acquaintance of the celestial palace. As the artifact spirit and the artifact body of the Blessed Immortal Boat, we won't run into any danger here."
The artifact spirit of the Blessed Immortal Boat said confidently.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed to hear that. He did not doubt it at all.
Although the artifact spirit of the Blessed Immortal Boat could be very unreliable sometimes, at this moment, they were in the same boat. How could it joke around?
"That's not good. Someone is breaking in from outside. Hurry up and go deeper. I'll block them for you."
However, at this moment, the black-robed old man seemed to have sensed something.
He suddenly turned pale. He said to Jiang Chen anxiously.
"They've caught up with us?"
Jiang Chen also turned pale. He realized how urgent this matter was. If he stayed here, he would only be a burden to the black-robed old man.
However, he did not run away immediately. Instead, he asked, "Senior, what about you?"
"Don't worry. I'll definitely find a way to get away after blocking them. I'll come to join you. You must find a way to survive before that. Otherwise, if Gu Changge catches up with us, we'll both die. "
The black-robed old man looked unprecedentedly serious.
After saying that, he walked back to the path he came from.
A dreadful energy spread everywhere. A black long knife surrounded by a black light appeared in his hand. He threw the knife at the many practitioners who had caught up with him. It was extremely powerful, as if it was going to split the void open.
The people who had caught up with him spurted blood and retreated. They were not a match for a Great Saint.
"Senior, be careful. I'll leave a route according to the method you've taught me. You must follow me! "
Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth. He did not have the nerve to stay here for long. Then he fled into the depths of the Purple Mountain.
Although the dreadful energy over his head could fall at any time, as if it was so heavy that it could crush him into pieces, he did not care.
He believed the spirit of the Vessel of Fortune. He fled into the depths of the Purple Mountain. He did not dare stay there.
Boom!!!
The dreadful sound of fighting echoed in the Purple Mountain. Many mysterious creatures sleeping in the corners were alerted. They all went to where the fight was taking place.
It was a smooth journey.
The closer one got to the depths of the Purple Mountain, the more terrifying it was.
Purple mist would seep out from between some of the mountain rocks. It was very mysterious, but also very dangerous.
Jiang Chen saw with his own eyes a mysterious creature in the Purple Mountain turn into a mist of blood in an instant when it came into contact with the purple fog.
He was shocked. A dreadful chill ran down his spine.
With the help of the spirit of the Vessel of Fortune, he was able to reverse the topography of this place. He went deeper into the Purple Mountain safely.
Some creatures with dreadful energies noticed him, but they did not attack him. They just glanced at him, as if he was one of their kind. They did not pay much attention to him.
Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He finally felt relieved. He had been tense for a long time.
"Little Chenzi, keep going. I've sensed the palace's location. If I'm not wrong, we're going to be rich."
The spirit of the Vessel of Fortune sounded excited, as if it had seen the treasure and found it for them.
Jiang Chen nodded. He did not stop. Following the spirit of the Vessel of Fortune's words, he kept going.
However, when he arrived at the cave, his expression changed drastically.
It could be seen that the walls were covered in bloodstains that had long dried up. However, it was still a ghastly sight, leaving one horrified. They didn't know what happened here before.
There was a layer of white bones under his feet. They were of different shapes, including those of humans and other races. Some of them were sparkling like jade, while some were as black as ink. They were as tall as hills.
However, the road ahead was cut off when he arrived here, but it was not cut off.
Instead, he saw an indestructible stone wall. It shone with the same light and material as the purple mountain. He could not crack it at all.
This purple mountain's material was extremely sturdy and special. Even if cultivators fought inside, it would be difficult to damage it in the slightest.
"Is this a dead end?"
Jiang Chen frowned. He had not expected to be stopped here after following the guidance of the Vessel of Fortune.
"Don't worry. There must be a way. Let me try to find it," the spirit of the Vessel of Fortune said.
Jiang Chen nodded.
Then the shadow of a bronze flying boat appeared between Jiang Chen's eyebrows. Then it merged with the stone wall in front of him slowly, as if it was going to go through to the other side.
"There is a way here …"
The spirit of the Vessel of Fortune said in a pleasantly surprised voice.
"Really?" Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised, too.
"I'm going to open this stone wall. Except for me, no one can open it. This purple mountain is much harder than I imagined. I suspect it doesn't belong to this realm. Even Gu Changge won't be able to pass through here! "
The spirit of the Vessel of Fortune said confidently.
At the same time, a misty light appeared. It looked like veins of stars were intertwining here. In the end, they showed up on the stone wall and connected with each other.
Rumble!
In an instant, there was a loud noise. The mountain gave way to the stone wall. The stone wall opened up!
…
On the other side, Chen Ning 'er, Ji Chuyue, Ji Yaoxing, and the others were looking for Jiang Chen and the black-robed old man, but they were not together.
After all, the purple mountain was well-connected. If they did not look for Jiang Chen separately, it would be impossible to find him.
It was as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
As to where the Sky-Reaching Tower was, they had no clue at all.
"Chuyue, are you blaming me?"
Looking at his sister, who had been silent, Ji Yaoxing finally could not help but ask.
"No. I know you have your reasons. You're doing this for the sake of the family."
Ji Chuyue shook her head, but she still looked sad.
She was a kind-hearted person. Before this, she had always thought her brother Ji Yaoxing was the same, just and steady.
However, what she had seen that day was really hard for her to accept.
Jiang Chen's cold look cut her heart like a knife. After all, it was they who had gotten Jiang Chen involved in this.
However, they had gotten out of this smoothly and left all the trouble to Jiang Chen. Now they were even sending people to hunt him down.
Ji Chuyue really could not bear it.
"You're too naive. When Jiang Chen came to you, he had an ulterior motive. You should know that there was a Great Saint behind him, but why did he still want to join the School of Divine Ruins? Have you ever considered this? "
"On the contrary, Jiang Chen has been urging us to punish Gu Changge. Do you really think he has no ulterior motives? You think people are too kind. "
Ji Yaoxing sighed and said with a calm voice.
Ji Chuyue could not help but open her eyes wide in surprise. She thought about it carefully and found there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, Jiang Chen seemed to have ulterior motives when he had approached her.
At the thought of this, she felt much better.
However, Ji Chuyue recalled something else. She said reluctantly, "Brother, are we really going to give the Mastering Heavenly Wheel we got with great difficulty to Gu Changge?"
In order to get the Mastering Heavenly Wheel, the reclusive Jis behind them had paid a great price.
However, at the moment, they had to give the Mastering Heavenly Wheel they had gotten with great difficulty to someone else. How could they be willing?
Ji Yaoxing showed a bitter smile involuntarily. He said, "We have no choice. If we don't do this, Gu Changge won't let it go. Do you think the rumored Gu Changge is a good person?"
"Take the Purple Mansion as an example. If Gu Changge was really kind, he would not have disabled Lord of Heaven Zi Yang. In my opinion, all of this is just an excuse he made for the sake of the Purple Mansion."
"As to what enmity there is between Jiang Chen and him, let's not meddle in it. Don't be curious about it. We should just pretend we don't know about it."
Ji Chuyue agreed with Ji Yaoxing. She nodded and remained silent.
Rumors could not be trusted completely. She had experienced it herself.
"It's okay if we can't find the Mastering Heavenly Tower, but we must find Jiang Chen. Otherwise, we won't be able to report to Gu Changge," Ji Yaoxing said.
Then he and Ji Chuyue continued to lead the team to chase after Jiang Chen.
However, they had not gone far when they suddenly saw many mysterious creatures with powerful energies charging at them. Black clouds were rolling around them. They were very aggressive.
They looked similar to all races, but their energies were obviously different.
CHI!!!
Many lights were shot over. They streaked across the air like swords and knives. They carried a strong power that was terrifying.
"That's not good."
"Back then, I encountered this type of creature. Hurry and retreat. Even if Jiang Chen can escape from us, he won't survive. "
Ji Yaoxing turned pale. He hurried to retreat with Ji Chuyue and the others.
He had noticed that the powerful black-robed old man had stayed behind to stall them and cover Jiang Chen's retreat. In other words, the two had fled in different directions.
Jiang Chen was so weak. If he had run into such creatures, would he have been able to survive?
Ji Chuyue curled her lips. She did not dare stay there. She hurried to retreat along the path they had come from.
As Ji Yaoxing had said, unless Jiang Chen was extremely strong, how could he survive facing such mysterious creatures after separating from the black-robed old man?
Soon, the Ji family's brother and sister also retreated out of the Purple Mountain. However, they were surprised to see that Chen Ning 'er had retreated before them.
However, she was not in a good state. She looked pale. Her energy was weak. She looked frightened.
Only two or three of the subordinates she had brought with her were left. All of them were heavily injured.
It looked like she had run into great danger after entering. She was lucky to have escaped alive.
The Ji family's brother and sister became serious.
They were going to report what had happened to them to Gu Changge, but Gu Changge waved his hand to stop them.
"Looks like the Purple Mountain is full of dangers. All of the people who entered it died."
Gu Changge squinted. He sounded like he was talking to himself.
"There are many paths in the Purple Mountain. All of them lead to the deepest part of the mountain."
"Jiang Chen was separated from the black-robed old man. I think he's doomed. Those mysterious creatures are very strong. Jiang Chen will be torn into pieces in an instant if no one is protecting him."
Chen Ning 'er said in a hurry. She still looked scared. She had not expected the Purple Mountain to be so dangerous.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had a powerful protective item, it was very likely that she would have died in there.
"Oh? Anyway, I'm determined to get the Sky-Reaching Tower. Looks like I'll have to go into the Purple Mountain. "
Gu Changge raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be interested.
"I'll go with you," Yue Mingkong said without hesitation.
"That won't be necessary. You stay outside. If anything happens, I won't worry."
Gu Changge waved his hand and said with a smile.
Then, without waiting for Yue Mingkong's reply, he took a step forward. The air became blurred. A golden path appeared in front of him. It penetrated the path and landed in the Purple Mountain.
Boom!!
A horrible sound that made people's hearts tremble and souls feel like they were going to explode came from there.
The mountains trembled. The ground collapsed.
It was a horrible scene.
Ji Chuyue, Ji Yaoxing, Chen Ning 'er, and the others were shocked. They had not expected Gu Changge to do it himself.
However, in his opinion, although those mysterious creatures were strong, they were not necessarily a match for him.
However, the dangers in the Purple Mountain were not all because of those mysterious creatures.
Gu Changge is strong, but there are many creatures in the Purple Mountain. The paths are intertwined. It's easy to get lost. Besides, there are many natural formation patterns. Danger is everywhere …
Ji Yaoxing thought to himself, frowning slightly.
He glanced at Yue Mingkong. She looked cold and indifferent, as if she was confident in Gu Changge. She was not worried about him at all.
In the Purple Mountain, many creatures were roaring. They looked cold. They were fighting against the practitioners who were still there. They rushed out of the caves like a tide.
They were so dense that it was impossible to count them.
Buzz!!
As Gu Changge stepped into the Purple Mountain, a strange sound came from the void. It sounded like a bell, but also like the sound of a tower. It was echoing everywhere.
Looks like this is the response of the Seven Artifacts of Heaven Wielding. The Sky-Wielding Tower is indeed here. Without Jiang Chen, it would have taken me a long time to find it.
Gu Changge perceived where Jiang Chen was. It was not far from where he was.
However, he had to pass through many formation patterns and obstacles.
Fortunately, he could follow the route Jiang Chen had taken. As long as he hid in the void, he would be able to follow the route smoothly.
Jiang Chen would never expect that the route he had left for the black-robed old man was left for Gu Changge in the end.
Buzz!!
Gu Changge was walking in the Purple Mountain. As he raised his hand, the void trembled.
An ancient and dreadful energy broke out. It turned into a giant star, as heavy as hundreds of thousands of tons. It fell down.
All the creatures close to him exploded in an instant. Their bodies and spirits were destroyed, and they evaporated into powder.
The tide of creatures, even though they did not feel pain or fear, stepped back involuntarily to avoid him at this moment.
"This fluctuation. Looks like Jiang Chen has found the Sky-Wielding Tower … Wow!"
Gu Changge was walking at a moderate pace. He seemed to have perceived something. Surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"He didn't let me down."
He smiled. His figure blurred. He stepped forward, intending to pick the ripe fruit.
It had to be said that the Purple Mountain was indeed strange. There was a special domain that enveloped every corner, and even every rock had this kind of aura.
It could even affect a practitioner's judgment and suppress his holy awareness.
Its hardness was beyond imagination. It could not be damaged by average people.
Without Jiang Chen's exploration, it would not have been easy for Gu Changge to find the Sky-Wielding Tower.
