”According to the soul jade, Yaoguai often gathered near areas of inheritances. Wait,” Yan Zaizen inspected the mountain. It had a faint law from the heavens infused within. ”This aura attracts them, and yet…” Yan Zaizen grew skeptical, turning towards Eshe who was cultivating in silence.

It's possible Eshe had lied to him, but that would be ridiculous. Firstly, the Yaoguai's absence would've punctured a hole immediately threw her soul jade and trust. What purpose would it have?

Unless she intended to assault Yan Zaizen and attract him away from the city, but that seemed unlikely as the information was a pointless lie. It would've been obvious truths and hard to see lies if she wished for it to work. After all, how could she not know Yan Zaizen had no basic information about the Fortune Cemetery?

It simply didn't add up.

”That leaves the possibility that the Yaoguai was cleared recently by either Eshe or the other party.” Yan Zaizen glanced at the foreign skyship. The life auras there weren't greater in numbers in comparison to their group. In fact, there were seven on both sides. The only issue was his inability to measure their auras. They weren't hidden, but it was hard to know what's concealed without a superior sense.

The three days passed quickly.

Eshe stopped cultivating and stood up. The others followed. Yan Zaizen also rose, his eyes indifferently glancing about. In truth, he was curious about this treasure trove. Was it hidden within the mountains or?

Before he could make wild guesses, a quaking sensation reverberated in the air. It felt like the skyship was the ground and it was experiencing a scale ten earthquake. Yan Zaizen didn't have trouble maintaining his footing, neither did the others.

Lifting his hand in the air, he felt a wave of nostalgia surge into his heart. The Xiao City Lord from the Xiantu Realm cultivated in the Law of Mountains. In fact, he merged the Mortal Laws of Waves and Mountains together to display extraordinary prowess.

When he recalled that, he remembered his words from before: ”This mountain is no longer yours.” It was like an experienced thief was recalling his earlier days. A smile couldn't help but appear.

”Thousands of years have already passed since.” Yan Zaizen found it hard to believe this. It felt like yesterday.

The quaking continued until the mountain started to emit a faint glow. This glowing light's aura felt heavy and felt like it was vibrating endlessly. This endless feeling felt like a truth of the world, as if it didn't define endlessness but the motion of mountains.

”A concept around the motion of a mountain?” Yan Zaizen pondered. As he did, the situation kept progressing. The mountain's quaking continued to increase until a nearly mechanical droning sound started. When it did, a small hole formed at the base of the mountain.

Eshe's eyes lit up, but she didn't move. Neither did the others on the ship, but their eyes each had a hint of greed within. Yan Zaizen observed silently, curious about the wait, but didn't ask. Instead, he kept an even closer watch on the mountain.

The other skyship didn't act either. They seemed to be waiting as well.

”Ready yourselves,” Eshe reminded. The others had their auras on the brink of eruption, ready to make a move at a moment's notice.

”We must watch out for ourselves. As long as it doesn't put your life in danger, please lend a hand if possible.” Eshe slowly said, her eyes sweeping the others and stopping on Yan Zaizen.

He replied with a nod and didn't say anything else. He knew that something dangerous was about to happen. Whatever it was, his heartbeat started to quicken. He was currently weaker than he has been for thousands of years.

His heavenly cultivation was non-existent, his soul cultivation base had been reduced considerably, and this unique grounds sealed his herculean laws. Besides his outstanding comprehension in laws, he only had his rank two Fiendgod cultivation.

This felt exciting to him. It was a sense of danger and unknown. The only times in his life that he truly felt in danger was very few and each time was far too profound. From Ezekiel's invasion attempt to the sub-realm collapse, they were all far beyond his ability to handle it without the black hole.

Now, he only had his own hard-earned cultivation to rely on.

Skreeee!!

”!” Yan Zaizen's eyes widened and looked at the small door. The small hole had suddenly expanded by a hundred times, establishing a sizable entry point. However, the quaking had stopped, but shrieks of a demonic nature sounded.

Feeling his heart quicken, he looked at the hole with rapt interest.

Skreeee!!!
