Chapter 1256 Devil Spirit Mountain’s Secret

The three words of Devil Spirit Mountain smashed into Long Chen’s heart like hammers .

Although the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring was also considered one of the seven danger zones, its danger was actually the lowest amongst the seven .

That was because it was too huge, and the main danger stemmed from the sea demons . The sea demon race’s experts would rarely attack human cultivators unless the latter caused trouble for them first .

But other than the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, the other danger zones were true lands of death . Humans were forbidden from entering .

Zheng Wenlong had once mentioned Devil Spirit Mountain to Long Chen . At that time, it had become enshrouded in mist, making it impossible to gather the Spirit Gathering Gra.s.s that grew around it . That gra.s.s was the main ingredient of the Forging Heart Spirit Connecting Pill .

When Long Chen had asked Zheng Wenlong about Devil Spirit Mountain, Zheng Wenlong had told him despite its name and fame as one of the seven danger zones, there had never actually been any devils to come out of it .

Instead, rather than devils, what people occasionally saw were scenes of an immortal wonderland . Many heard the sound of immortal music that allowed their cultivation bases to progress . Some would even suddenly break through their bottlenecks . It was extremely strange .

There were many legends regarding Devil Spirit Mountain . Some of those legends were beautiful, and some of them were evil, making it impossible for people to tell exactly what it was . But Zheng Wenlong had warned Long Chen that he absolutely couldn’t enter it .

With Zheng Wenlong’s status, for him to say such a thing meant that he knew some secrets regarding it that he couldn’t disclose to Long Chen . All he could do was warn him .

Now that he heard the Devil Spirit Mountain be mentioned by the old man, Long Chen’s heart pounded . He had never imagined that the other half of the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet had been lost in Devil Spirit Mountain .

“Old man, are you sure about that location?” asked Long Chen .

“All I can say is that the other half of the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet is definitely in Devil Spirit Mountain . Let me tell you a bit about the Devil Spirit Mountain, information which pertains even to the whole continent’s secrets . ”

Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao also hastily sat properly in antic.i.p.ation . Even the bosses were solemnly sitting, wanting to hear .

The old man sank into thought for a moment, most likely organizing his thoughts . He then began to tell them a story that was known only to a few people .

Over a hundred thousand years ago, the Martial Heaven Continent had gone through a tribulation that had changed it forever .

That time was called the dark era . That was a time where the entire Martial Heaven Continent had nearly been wiped out . This dark era has lasted for over ten thousand years .

As for the cause of the dark era, no one could say any longer . But its conclusion had been pa.s.sed down through the ages .

The dark era ended with a huge calamity . Its darkness had caused the entire continent to be gravely injured .

Countless foreign experts had invaded the Martial Heaven Continent, attempting to slaughter all life . Faced with their death, the Martial Heaven Continent’s experts fought back . Rivers of blood flowed through the continent, and mountains of corpses piled up .

Almost all the top experts of the various large sects were lost . But in the end, under the guidance of a Sovereign, they managed to beat back the invaders to their own worlds, saving the Martial Heaven Continent .

“A Sovereign? What kind of existence is that?” asked Bao Buping . He had never heard of such a thing .

“Shut your mouth . Don’t interrupt the old man . ” Boss Bao slapped Bao Buping on the back of his head .

The old man ignored the disturbance, continuing with his story . That had been a true apocalyptic battle . If they had lost, all this world’s lifeforms would have been slaughtered .

At that time, every sect had fought with their lives on the line . Only a few supreme sects were able to survive . But even they took heavy losses . Their sect’s treasures ended up crippled, severing their inheritance .

With the full attack of all the sects, the invaders also lost countless experts . In the end, once they were forced back to their worlds, their entrance to this world was sealed, restoring the Martial Heaven Continent’s peace .

But even though peace came back to the continent, it had been gravely wounded . After a period of resting, dissenting factions appeared like the ancient races, and it was at this time that the Corrupt path suddenly showed up with great power .

Another chaotic period of fighting occurred as all the large powers fought over resources, devouring other powers, trying to stabilize their foundations .

A few neutral powers also appeared . Mysterious existences sprang up like spring bamboo .

Although the Martial Heaven Continent eventually recovered, after that dark era, the world had changed . Another Sovereign never appeared .

As for Devil Spirit Mountain, it was one of the entrances that the invaders had gone through back during the dark era . At that time, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, Xuantian Dao Sect, and other sects all paid a b.l.o.o.d.y price .

The Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet had been broken at that time, with a portion of it lost within .
