Chapter 489 Wan Dashan
early morning.
After breakfast, everyone continued their journey.
Several hours later, the flying boat arrived at the territory of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Lin Chen did not stop, and continued to maneuver the flying boat deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The outer perimeter of the Shiwan Mountains looks quite normal, with roads, people, villages, and a lively atmosphere.
Further in, villages become towns, towns become scattered hunters, and then the hunters disappear, leaving only endless, towering trees that block out the sun, preventing even a ray of sunlight from getting in.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are the most dangerous place in Central China, bar none.
Looking down from the sky, this mountain range resembles a crouching ancient behemoth, its back undulating and its ridges soaring into the clouds.
Even the shortest mountain is much taller than the tallest mountain in the Eastern Region.
Between the mountains are bottomless canyons, from which grayish-white mist rises and bubbles like boiling water, shrouding the entire forest in a hazy mist.
The fog is there all year round, and it never dissipates.
Lin Chen stood at the bow of the boat, his hands tucked into his sleeves, squinting as he looked down.
His divine sense swept across the mountains and forests below, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The auras of ferocious beasts surged in from all directions. Some he had seen before, and some he had never seen before. Just their auras were on a completely different level from those of the Eastern Region.
Lan Fenghuang walked to Lin Chen's side, clutching the tattered map in her hand, her brows furrowed into a deep frown:
"This place is extremely dangerous, so there's a reason why the Gu God Temple chose to be located here."
She pointed to an area marked in red on the map.
"Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are many descendants of ancient ferocious beasts, some of whom have even inherited the bloodline of these ancient beasts."
It is said that there are many ferocious beasts of celestial level here, some hundreds of feet long, and some even thousands of feet long.
Lin Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping downwards.
The words had barely left his mouth—
"roar!!"
A beastly roar erupted from the forest, shaking the leaves and causing them to fall in a rustling sound.
They weren't coming for them; it was two ferocious beasts fighting down below.
Several large trees were snapped in half and fell to the ground with a muffled thud like thunder, causing the ground to tremble.
Then a dark figure darted out of the forest and rushed straight at the flying boat.
It was a giant python with wings.
Its entire body was jet black, its scales gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, and its gaping maw was filled with fangs longer than Lin Chen's height.
This thing has at least the cultivation level of a peak terrestrial immortal, and it came on strong, like a dog that has been starving for three days seeing a meat bun.
Jian Shisan didn't even lift his eyelids.
He lightly flicked his finger on the scabbard.
"Buzz—"
An invisible sword aura shot out from the scabbard, so fast that it was invisible and there was no chance to react.
The python's head, from its mouth to the back of its head, had a hole the size of a fist pierced through it.
Black blood gushed out, like a high-pressure water gun, leaving a black line in the air.
The giant python froze in mid-air for a moment, its eyes changing from fierce to blank.
Then his body went limp and he fell down, crashing into the forest and breaking dozens of large trees.
It made a snapping sound, like breaking chopsticks, so loud it made your teeth ache.
Blue Phoenix glanced down and saw the giant python lying in a deep pit, twitching twice before going still.
A ferocious beast at the peak of the land immortal level, just like that, died?
She remained silent for a moment, wondering: How did the ancestors of the temple come up with the idea of going to that remote place in the Eastern Region?
Is it because they think Zhongzhou is too turbulent?
The airship continued flying forward.
Not long after they flew, another huge eagle emerged from the clouds.
Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky; with a single flap, the trees on the ground bend over.
Its claws are sharper than knives, and its beak is like a curved blade, gleaming coldly.
It swooped down from the clouds at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, like a black cannonball, its sound of cutting through the air sharp and piercing.
Dugu Qiubai leaned against the ship's railing, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.
When the eagle was still a hundred feet away from the flying boat, he glanced at it.
There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, no leakage of sword energy; it was just a glance.
The eagle froze in mid-air, as if an invisible hand had gripped its neck, preventing it from spreading its wings.
Then, its body exploded from the inside.
Feathers, flesh, and bones were blown away from the inside out, leaving nothing behind, not even a chance to scream.
Blue Phoenix stared at the empty sky, and remained silent for an even longer time.
Even a half-step Celestial level ferocious beast couldn't withstand a single glance.
She turned to look at Dugu Qiubai.
Dugu Qiubai lowered his head and continued drinking his tea, as if nothing had happened.
The cup of tea in his hand didn't even ripple; it was so steady it looked unreal.
Lan Fenghuang withdrew her gaze, gaining a completely new understanding of the realm of "Celestial Immortal".
She used to think that celestial beings were those whose cultivation was a level higher than that of terrestrial immortals, but now she thinks that these are not even human.
The airship passed through the Ten Thousand Mountains and arrived at a valley shrouded in thick fog.
Grayish-white mist churned at the mouth of the valley, thick as paste, like a living wall separating the inner world from the outer world.
It's not ordinary fog; it's formed by an array that isolates it.
Blue Phoenix unfolded the map, glanced at it, then looked up at the fog and nodded:
"This is it."
Lin Chen probed into the fog with his divine sense, and his brows furrowed even more.
The formations inside are layered upon each other: killing formations, trapping formations, illusion formations, and bewildering formations, each linked to the next, overlapping and supporting each other, so that a change in one part affects the whole.
He wasn't an expert in formations, but he could sense how terrifying these things were.
If all these formations were activated, even celestial beings would get lost inside.
Lin Chen withdrew his divine sense and gained a new understanding of the strength of the Gu God Palace.
It has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and taken root deep in the mountains; it must have something special.
Lin Chen did not choose to break through the formation; he came to do business, not to cause trouble.
"Lin Chen from the Eastern Region has come to pay his respects!" Lin Chen took a deep breath and said calmly.
The sound wasn't loud, but it had extremely strong penetrating power.
It passed through the thick fog at the mouth of the valley, through layers of arrays, through the mountain gate of the Gu God Temple, through the main hall, through the courtyards, and into every corner of the Gu God Temple.
The mist in the valley suddenly surged.
It was as if those words had jolted me awake.
It also seemed like a response.
Deep within the fog, something could be vaguely seen moving.
