Chapter 691: Secret Of Dao-Sense Peak

As their first emperor, Immortal Emperor Wan Shi heralded an extraordinary era for the future of the golems. However, he was another emperor full of mysteries and didn’t leave behind any lineage or inheritance either. There were even rumors stating that the emperor didn’t take in a disciple at all.

Moreover, he seemed to disappear overnight; no one knew how he managed to do so or where he went. His whereabouts were a mystery to the Stone Medicine World, and something even stranger was that some thought that he was still in this world.

In short, although he was the first golem emperor, there were very few items or findings related to him. However, this palm print ahead was one of the few things from the emperor that could be researched.

Legend states that during the Desolate Era, after Immortal Emperor Wan Shi shouldered the Heaven’s Will, he traveled across the world and stumbled upon Allpine Mountain. After enjoying the beautiful sceneries here, he went on top of a peak and left behind a palm print.

Later on, this peak became the famous Dao-sense Peak, an object of numerous theories and legends.

One legend stated that when the emperor left behind his palm print, it also left behind his dao lineage that merely awaited the right inheritor. Others said that it wasn’t a complete dao lineage, but an invincible secret art of this world. Another conjecture was that this place contained a map. If one could understand this map, then they would be able to find the location where the emperor left behind his treasury…

In short, regardless of the theory, everyone from the future generations believed that the emperor did indeed leave behind a mystery here that year. It could be a merit law or the dao lineage of an Immortal Emperor, or maybe a treasure map…

Because of this, for tens of millions of years, people had always come here to learn, but no one had heard of any success.

However, there was another rumor that stated that the Allpine Treefather had obtained something from this place. The story claimed that after the treefather obtained intelligence and shape from the dao, he came to this cliff to learn and gained the emperor’s secret art. Because of this, he was finally able to become a Demon Forefather…

Allpine Mountain and even the Allpine Treefather himself neither denied nor confirmed this particular rumor, thus, outsiders didn’t know whether the treefather had obtained something in this place or not.

All in all, as long as there was a chance to enter Allpine Mountain, any cultivator, especially the younger ones who valued themselves greatly, would come to Dao-sense Peak to ponder the mysteries left behind by Immortal Emperor Wan Shi.

Allpine Mountain did not stop cultivators from going to the peak to search for enlightenment. In fact, this was not a big deal to them. It could even be said that the mountain was not afraid of anyone understanding the profundities within because, for tens of millions of years, countless brilliant geniuses were unable to do so, thus it was impossible for others even if they tried.

However, even though everyone knew that it was impossible, they never gave up and continued to come and test themselves. This time, during the treefather’s birthday, many guests and young geniuses didn’t mind traveling the long distance. Since they were already here, they wouldn’t miss the opportunity to come meditate at Dao-sense Peak.

Unfortunately, during the last couple of days, countless people had come and gone, but no one’s efforts yielded any fruit. Groups came and went despite all of them knowing that they would leave empty-handed, but they still did not give up since it would be a waste of a trip to Allpine Mountain.

“Well, there is basically nothing on this cliff, haa.” At this time, many young cultivators were at the cliff, wanting to unravel the mysteries. However, after a very long time, they still hadn’t found anything, so one of the cultivators chose to give up.

“There is definitely something there.” A more gifted person spoke: “I can clearly sense the fluctuations within these dao runes; it’s as if they are full of imperial aura. It is absolutely true that Immortal Emperor Wan Shi left behind a secret art here.”

“So what?” The cultivator who gave up said: “Countless geniuses have tried for millions of years and found no way of learning it. I don’t have a chance anyway, might as well give up now.”

After the group that had given up left, new groups came, coming to ponder on the palm print.

At this time, Li Qiye’s carriage slowly climbed the peak. The moment he arrived at the cliff, the many cultivators here immediately glanced at him, especially the younger ones. They all stared at the carriage.

Of course, their eyes weren’t on a nobody like Li Qiye, but on Madam Zi Yan instead. A beautiful Demon King like her would attract attention no matter where she went.

“Lady Zi Yan, we meet again.” Before the carriage stopped, a young man with a mature look came to greet her. He had golden hair, bold tiger-like eyes, and a lion-like forehead — a rather heroic appearance. He quickly walked forward, and each of his steps emitted powerful roars. His strength was clear at a single glance.
