The group continued on their journey, now more determined to kill Shen Xiang. They were worried that he might bring the Nineheaven Demon Temple out, and if they happened to see it by chance, it would mean their doom.
"Little slave girl, did you tell us about the Nineheaven Demon Temple How come legends say you died inside" Shen Xiang asked.
"You better not bring that demon temple out! Those two young girls nearly fell for its tricks back then, and it was me who woke them up! After I chased them away, I went to the Nineheaven Demon Temple myself!" Ji Meixian gave Shen Xiang a stern warning.
"Huh Did you get lured in" Shen Xiang asked.
"At first, I could resist the temptation, but later on, the demon temple sent out a voice telling me that my uncle was inside—Noneless Demon Sovereign, the master of those two young girls. I had been looking for him at that time, and as I got closer, I felt like my uncle was inside too! After entering the demon temple, I truly saw his figure!" Ji Meixian's voice was filled with fear as she spoke.
"That must have been an illusion, the demon temple trying to deceive your mind." Shen Xiang said.
"Indeed, this demon temple specifically targets your weakness and maximizes your desires, causing you to lose your理智 and become uncontrollable. If it weren't for that divine robe of mine, I might have died inside already. Back then, my divine robe released its power to help me escape from that demon temple," Ji Meixian explained. "This is my mother's protective talisman, which has saved me countless times over the years."
"Of course, this demon temple terrifies heaven's might. Its power isn't just that, several of my friends never came back after entering—it's a place where strong experts are lost," Ji Meixian would have scolded Shen Xiang like an elder if she wasn't his slave. She knew that he was someone who liked to do things impulsively.
Ji Meixian sighed inwardly, realizing that Shen Xiang would definitely bring the temple out once he learned how to use Chaos Flame Command.
After ten days of traversing mountains and valleys, they finally reached the place marked on their map—a vast lake. It looked like an ocean on land, and Chaos Mountain might be hidden somewhere beneath it.
"If we didn't have this map, we wouldn't have made it here. The latter half of our journey was very safe; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy! I never thought there would be such a lake here," Taixuan Sect Master said as he used his hands to scoop up the water from the lake, then hurriedly warned, "The water is poisonous! Don't touch it!"
It was too late, as several old men not only touched it but even licked the water!
Taixuan Sect Master's palms turned purple as he hurriedly used his cultivation to expel the toxins. Purple mist began to rise, while the elderly fell to their knees, their mouths swollen and turning purplish black. The toxins spread quickly. More than ten experts rushed to pump strength into these old men, trying to force the toxins out of their bodies!
The young people saw this and quickly stayed away from the vast lake. Such a large body of water contained poison, but it wasn't very strong. The old men had survived.
"Is this Chaos Mountain hidden beneath the lake" someone asked.
"It should be!" Taixuan Sect Master nodded. "The poison in this lake must have been deliberately put there by someone, so let's take out the stone slabs!"
The leaders of various forces, Shen Xiang, and Holy Dragon Prince all put their stone slabs on the ground and combined them. However, this time they used the reverse side of the patterns to combine them into an octagonal array.
"Inject your strength into the stone slabs, and activate them!" Taixuan Sect Master said.
Shen Xiang secretly channeled the power from that celestial丹 into his body, allowing it to flow and then release through his fingers. He poured this power into the stone slabs, causing them to emit purple light beams.
Thirty stone slabs were arranged on the ground, looking irregular. However, after injecting strength into them, instead of producing various colored lights as usual, they became golden.
The ground trembled slightly. The group quickly looked at the massive lake, watching as a towering black mountain slowly rose from it! This mountain was enormous, occupying the entire lake. It seemed like the water had disappeared somewhere else as they stood beneath it. This mountain felt like a barrier separating them from the world, with no end in sight.
Shen Xiang guessed that this Chaos Mountain was about half the size of a Primordial Martial Continent!
After the Chaos Mountain fully rose, the black substance covering it suddenly melted away, revealing a dazzling silver-white light along with ancient vibes emanating. It felt like they were transported back to the time of Chaos.
The crowd was very excited when they saw this holy mountain rise. Thinking about the ancestors who hid it, they marveled at how huge of an engineering feat it must have been. Shen Xiang was now on high alert, preparing for the final task: opening the gate to enter.
Taixuan Sect Master checked around and confirmed it was safe before leading the group toward that gate!
There was a very smooth place on the mountain wall, where thirty recesses were placed for those stone slabs. This confirmed that it was the entrance!
"Did these guys really hide their loot here back then" Shen Xiang couldn't help but doubt. "I think it's unlikely, as the things they gathered should have been used to maintain their heritage."
"You'll know once you go inside. Maybe they found something of value, but couldn't take it back then, so they stored it here temporarily," Su Meiyao said.
"There's a possibility. Since the collapse of Heaven was driven by a powerful mystical force, if they had such good things, they would have been taken away by that force. Hence, they hid it," Bai Yuyou commented.
Shen Xiang used Spirit Tour Nine Heaven to observe everyone's expressions. He saw many young people making eye contacts with others, clearly preparing for a showdown.
"Don't these guys fear punishment from the Sacred Realm of Purple Moon Although Purple Moon Sacred Realm is mediocre now, the one above heaven's realm would definitely not be weak! It's not surprising, considering their ancestors and patriarchs betrayed Ten Heaven Emperor. Selling off allies is normal for them now," Shen Xiang was also preparing to catch these people by surprise, ready to kill the old ones but targeting a few young ones since they dared to come here and weren't being obedient!Heavens to investigate the situation ahead. However, her divine consciousness slowly weakened and dissipated, which had never happened before.Shen Xiang tried to cast it as well, but he also experienc...
