Chapter 659 – The Young Master of Dark Devil Religion (1/2)

The Young Master of Dark Devil Religion

Sot Old Man tried hard to suppress the excitement inside him the moment he obtained the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill. He immediately refined the pill in the cave. He was already at the peak of Fifth Grade Combat Emperor, only a small step was required to reach the next grade.

With the help of the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill, it took less than a day for the old man to push his grade to the sixth grade. It was pushed to the peak of the sixth grade, which was just one step away to seventh grade. Besides that, Sot Old Man’s entire appearance remoulded, his potential power was ignited and his physique was enhanced enormously. In other words, the old man’s hope for achieving the Minor Saint realm in this life wasn’t merely a hope anymore, because the amelioration of the pill proved otherwise.

Sot Old Man was full of vigour. He looked at Jiang Chen, without saying a word, and bowed slightly to him. This action represented all his unsaid gratitude. He wouldn’t be able to forget Jiang Chen’s kindness. If Jiang Chen ever required his help, he would honour what he had said before and do his best to assist him.

“Very well. The Death Mountain will open today. We have to hurry there. No more delays.”

Jiang Chen saw the colour of the sky. Although it was just daybreak, the Death Mountain was going to be opened soon. With their fast speed, they could reach there without being late.

The Death Mountain was located at the north of the Mysterious Domain. The atmosphere surrounding the mountains was filled with black fog. Seeing it from the outside, it looked like numerous black layers of mountains overlapping one another, similar to the stairs to heaven. It was like a sharp heavenly sword piercing into the thick clouds.

The area opposite the Death Mountain looked like a giant skeleton of an old man’s face openinghis enormous and ferocious mouth, anyone who had looked at it directly could feel their souls shivering due to the fierce aura coming out of the big mouth.

This was truly a forbidden area. In a hundred miles radius of the Death Mountain, there wasn’t any greenery, their lives were inhibited by the ghastly Qi of the area. This was a desolate and inhabited place. Some high grade cultivators might need to pass through this place. While these high level Combat Emperors were wandering around the mountain, some were sucked in by a vortex that bursted out of the Death Mountain randomly and never came out.

This was the reason they named this mountain as the Death Mountain.This mountain only opens every thirty years, and cultivators only chose to enter during this time which roughly lasted for a month.

At this moment, although it was only daybreak, the Death Mountain was crawling with people. Cultivators could be found everywhere even in mid-air. There were also people in groups of threes and fives. Some wearing the same uniformgathered together, obviously, they were of the same sect.

These people’s faces showed arrogance as they thought that they were superior to the cultivators who had no sect.

There were a lot of cultivators present. Although it was the five major powers who led the opening of the Death Mountain, they didn’t dare to dominate it, as disallowing the minor powers’ cultivators to participate would cause dissatisfaction to many minor powers all over the domain. Once their loyalty to the major five is lost, their control over the domain wouldn’t last long. Moreover, there were many strange things in this world, these minorities weren’t as lowly as they thought, many of them were gifted with special abilities.

For instance, some of these cultivators were gifted with unique techniques enabling them to detect the location of lost and hidden treasures. However, even if these people could find the treasure, they would all be taken away by the major five eventually. Only beings like Big Yellow was monstrous.

“The Death Mountain only opens every thirty years. Most people only have one chance in their lifetime to enter the mountain. I hope to obtain some inheritance of some experts under the mountain, my name will be known among the upper ranks, allowing me to be famous.”

“Stop dreaming. Only lucky ones can obtain treasures. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Your mouth sticks out just like an ape! Proving that you are the epitome of unluckiness”

“You’re quite right. The true treasures doesn’t belong to us. The Death Mountain is opened by the five major powers, they are generous enough for them to let us enter the mountain. You dare to compete with the geniuses of the major five for the treasure? Isn’t that seeking death yourself?”

“I have heard that the lower limit and upper limit of entering this Death Mountain are Combat Soul and Eighth Grade Combat Emperor. And those core disciples of the five major powers, every one of them is stronger than the other. I wonder what kind of people will be present. Plus, the relation among the five major powers aren’t that good. When these disciples meet, there will be conflicts.”

“That is the competition among the five major powers. It is not related to us. We just have to take care of ourselves. Once we enter the Death Mountain, we should stick together. Manyhave said that inside the mountain is dangerous. This place is the ruins of an ancient super large sect, and most of the dead disciples have turned into dark souls. It is truly scary.”

…….

Noises of discussions were everywhere. They had known about the legend of the Death Mountain. Although the opening of the mountain was a golden opportunity for many, they knew the risks behind it. By just strolling around the mountain, they would need to put their lives at stake. However, the path of cultivation had been always challenging. Despite the fact that there were a lot of dangerous obstacles that lay before them, many of them were still willing to give it a try.

Outside the Death Mountain, there were five awe-inspiring groups. The people around them were crouching on the ground at one fixed side. No one dared to stand near these five groups. These people were the disciples of the five major powers. There were at least a hundred of them in every group. These were just the early birds, the high rank disciples have yet to arrive.
