Chapter 1685 - Multi-God Mountain, God-Naming Palace (1/2)
The environment here was too similar to the depths of the forbidden zone above White Bone Hill, including the ancient Yin Qi in the air.
Zhang Ruochen grew cautious. He released his Spiritual Power and s.p.a.ce domain, covering a few feet in radius. This stopped the Yin Qi from invading his body and guarded against some other things too.
A creature with three horns on its head pointed at the ancient mountain in the distance. “Look,” it said with a quivering voice. “Is that…the legendary Multi-G.o.d Mountain? Is it the G.o.d-Naming Palace at the peak?”
There was a damaged palace at the mountaintop. It radiated with an ancient aura and soul-shocking power waves rippled from it. The top talents present all grew respectful and quiet.
The Wizard G.o.d Emperor’s eyes gleamed. “The legendary G.o.d-Naming Palace is inside the folded s.p.a.ce?” he exclaimed. “This is incredible!”
“The G.o.d-Naming Palace is an ancient relic that not even G.o.ds dare to enter brashly,” the Great Senior said. “Universal secrets remain there. It’s best if we don’t approach it.”
Fairy Tianchu revealed a secret, saying, “When Heaven World was first established, a G.o.d once tried to investigate the G.o.d-Naming Palace and died within the Multi-G.o.d Mountain. Apparently, the mountain hides a huge secret that can kill G.o.ds and turn the world into silence. After that, the Truth G.o.dly Palace sealed this place. No cultivators were allowed to venture in again.”
Roar!
A deafening howl came from the direction of the Multi-G.o.d Mountain.
It wasn’t like a beast’s howl or a human cultivator’s cry. It was very eerie and frightening.
When the howl sounded, a dozen men with lower cultivations fell to the ground with weak knees and trembled.
“Such terrifying power…”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression grew more uncomfortable.
That howl contained the terrifying power left behind from ancient times. It was the exact same as the power in the forbidden zone—even more terrifying.
That howl… Could it be the source of terror? That ancient forbidden being hadn’t died yet?
“Amazing, amazing. Zhang Ruochen, I am sure that this place is the same as the palace cl.u.s.ter deep within the forbidden zone. However, this place is too vast. We are now in a different corner.”
The Amazing Little Taoist continued softly, “Don’t think about the divine spring anymore. Get out of here immediately.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and took a step back. Clinks sounded immediately. Now, he realized that the Thousand Star Maiden’s nine chains were still wrapped around him.
Sensing his movement, the Thousand Star Maiden asked, “Where are you going?”
Her slender fingers released Holy Qi into the nine chains.
Whoos.h.!.+
Nine different types of power emerged from the nine chains.
Instantly, Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Qi and Spiritual Power were locked. The Spiritual Power and s.p.a.ce domain that he’d released earlier were also forced back inside his body.
Zhang Ruochen was speechless. “This place is dangerous,” he said hurriedly. “We must leave right now. If we continue forward, we might not be able to leave even if we wanted to.”
The Thousand Star Maiden walked toward him. She really enjoyed the feeling of controlling Zhang Ruochen. Her lips curled up and she chuckled. “Do you know something?”
Before Zhang Ruochen could speak,Fairy Tianchu’s sweet voice sounded in the near distance. “The aura of the divine spring has appeared again. It’s in that direction.”
Everyone looked toward where Fairy Tianchu pointed.
Purplish smoke poured out of a hill not far from the Multi-G.o.d Platform. As the wind changed, the smoke also scattered in different directions.
The wind was blowing toward them now, bringing the purple smoke with it.
After inhaling the smoke, the cultivators present discovered with a shock that they gained one or two more Rules of Saintly Way.
One must know that the purplish smoke was blown over from such a distance and already dispersed so much, but it could still increase their Rules of Saintly Way.
This meant that the smoke must be from the divine spring.
“The divine spring isn’t inside the Multi-G.o.d Mountain,” the Wizard G.o.d Emperor said. “I still have a chance to receive it. It’s worth the risk.”
That faraway mountain only looked like a hill when compared to the G.o.d-Naming Platform. In reality, it was huge and could be the king of mountains anywhere else.
Fairy Tianchu gazed into the distance and said, “Even if we don’t go, the cultivators of the Heaven World Sect will go too. I already see the spiritual intent of some people in the air. They’ve entered the area and some are hurrying toward the divine spring, but I think they’ve run into trouble and…”
Suddenly, Fairy Tianchu shut her mouth and stopped.
It was an extraordinary ability to see the spiritual intent from other cultivators.
She already had this ability when she was born and it melded into her soul.
Seeming to sense something, she said, “Everyone, be careful.”
Poof, poof.
A white spear appeared out of thin air and stabbed through a second step Saint King’s body, lifting him up.
The spear contained ancient Yin Qi. It seeped into the Saint King, instantly robbing him of all vitality.
One second he was a second step Saint King with strong vitality.
The next, he was dead.
Next, an ancient monster with a rotten body appeared too. He held the white bone spear and stabbed at another cultivator.
Poof!
“Ah…”
