Chapter 573: Chapter 512: Shocking Secrets

As the fluctuations of the Crimson Golden Crown vanished without a trace, the feeling of being summoned in Ye Fan’s heart also dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

But Ye Fan knew that both the fluctuation of the Crimson Golden Crown and that magical summoning had indeed existed!

"Since searching for the Snow Lotus King on Mount Tian is a matter of luck, why not go there to see what’s really going on."

Ye Fan was not a man of hesitation; he quickly made a decision, packed up his backpack, and hastily descended the mountain.

Because that snow peak was quite vague and far from the snow mountain where Ye Fan was, he had to first descend this snow peak and then head in the northwest direction.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to go up the mountain but hard to come down.

Even though Ye Fan was strong, the wet and slippery surface of the snow mountain could lead to a fall off the cliff, so he had to slow down and it was already afternoon by the time he descended.

"If only I could perform Qi Manipulation Flight or had a Flying Mutant Beast."

Standing at the base of the mountain, Ye Fan looked up at the highest snow peak in the northwest direction, knowing it would not be easy to reach there. He could not help but smile bitterly, and at the same time, he silently decided to find a way to acquire a Flying Mutant Beast before he could perform Qi Manipulation Flight.

With a Flying Mutant Beast, not only travel would be convenient, but it could also assist him in battle, its value not lesser than that of a Magic Artifact.

Perhaps due to the urgency to unravel the mystery to see what was summoning him, Ye Fan did not stop to cultivate in the following days; instead, he traveled day and night and finally arrived at the towering snow mountain on the eastern side on the afternoon of the fifth day.

"Bright Moon rises over Mount Tian, among the vast sea of clouds, this snow peak must be Tumur Peak, the highest mountain of Mount Tian."

Draped in a garb of snow and ice that shined like silver armor under the azure sky, Tumur Peak sparkled uniquely with a natural landscape crafted as if by divine intervention, making Ye Fan marvel in astonishment.

"I shall see what exactly is summoning me on Tumur Peak!"

Ye Fan withdrew his gaze, his figure flashed, and he rapidly strode toward the summit.

Like the other peaks of Mount Tian, the base of Tumur Peak was first glaciers and snowfields followed by a Primitive Forest.

"There are so many mutant beasts here!"

Entering the Primitive Forest, Ye Fan noticed that the forest at the base of Tumur Peak had far more mutant beasts compared to the forests he had passed through before, including three that were as strong as cultivators at the Innate Great Perfection Realm.

Unlike when he encountered and killed that Mutated Wolf before meeting Xiao Selang, Ye Fan, eager to continue his journey, did not initiate an attack on the mutant beasts in the forest unless they attacked him first, in which case he resolved them with a single strike, including those three formidable beasts resembling Innate Great Perfection Realm cultivators.

After Ye Fan had slain those three formidable beasts, other mutant beasts in the forest seemed to become aware of Ye Fan’s ferocity and dared not attack him anymore; instead, they ran as fast as they could upon seeing him, like rats seeing a cat.

Consequently, Ye Fan’s ascent up the mountain was much faster.

"The Crimson Golden Crown is fluctuating again? And even more violently than before!"

As the sun was about to set, Ye Fan felt a change in the Crimson Golden Crown within his body and suddenly stopped, startled.

No sooner had the Crimson Golden Crown fluctuated than the vanished magical summoning reappeared, more intensely than before.

"Such a strong summoning, it’s like it wants to hook away one’s soul!"

Feeling that intense summoning, Ye Fan’s heart fiercely shook, and he quickly stabilized his consciousness, reinforcing his Martial Arts Will.

After doing all this, both the interference from the Crimson Golden Crown and the impact of that summoning on Ye Fan had significantly reduced.

However—

Ye Fan’s curiosity and doubt had in fact sharply increased!

Driven by curiosity, Ye Fan didn’t consider the potential dangers on Tumur Peak and accelerated to his limit, quickly rushing towards the summit.

After crossing the forest, night completely fell, and Ye Fan stepped into the glacial snowfield where the ground became slippery, forcing him to slow down.

As time passed, Ye Fan got closer to the peak, the frequency and magnitude of the Crimson Golden Crown’s fluctuations increased, and the magical summoning grew even more intense.

In response, Ye Fan had to divide his attention, stabilizing his consciousness while continuing his journey.

Finally, as the first light of dawn pierced the east and west horizons the next day, Ye Fan climbed up Tumur Peak.

The majestic Tumur Peak was enveloped in white snow and swirling clouds, a magnificent scene resembling an Immortal Realm. On the west side was a steep cliff, below which was a gorge, bottomless at a glance.

"The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the gorge is so rich! At least three times that of the summit!"

Ye Fan looked down at the gorge below, employing mental perception, and immediately detected the anomaly in the gorge.

"Could it be that there are some strange treasures in the gorge?"

Filled with curiosity, Ye Fan very much wanted to go down for further exploration, but because the cliffs of the gorge were too steep, he dared not let the idea lead to action.

Just then—

Inside Ye Fan, the fluctuations of the Crimson Golden Crown reached a terrifying extent, making his consciousness tremble!

"What’s going on?"

Ye Fan was greatly alarmed and quickly stabilized his consciousness again.

"Whoosh—"

The answer to Ye Fan came as a whooshing sound!

As the sound echoed, a crimson gold halo suddenly flew out from above Ye Fan’s head, forming a faint crown pattern and rapidly flying towards the pitch-black gorge.

As the crown pattern flew out, the fluctuations within Ye Fan’s heart completely vanished, and the magical summoning also disappeared. Moved, he immediately realized that the crown pattern was very likely his own Crimson Golden Crown!

This discovery greatly alarmed Ye Fan!

Although he still had not figured out exactly what the Crimson Golden Crown was, it had saved him from the brink of death multiple times, making it his greatest reliance!

"Crimson Gold Crown, come back!"

Ye Fan shouted towards the canyon, but the Crimson Gold Crown didn’t respond. Instead, it kept moving further away from Ye Fan, its light also dimming.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have come to this godforsaken place!"

Even though Ye Fan’s consciousness was strong and his Martial Arts Will was firm, facing this sudden catastrophe, he was caught off guard and couldn’t help but curse loudly.

However—

Curse as he might, Ye Fan did not rashly chase after it. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and continued to observe the canyon below.

Both intuition and reason told him that, since the Crimson Gold Crown had led him here through great hardships and then flown out from his body, there must be unknown secrets involved.

If he waited patiently here, he might uncover those secrets, and there was even a possibility that the Crimson Gold Crown would return.

In the depths of the canyon—

The Crimson Gold Crown was enveloped in a mass of light, speeding towards the valley floor.

The valley bottom was pitch black, flickers of black light twinkled above, like a black barrier that completely isolated the lower part of the valley from above, as if they were two different worlds.

As the black barrier appeared, the Crimson Gold Crown suddenly accelerated, its light intensifying, striking the black barrier like a fierce laser cannon!

"Boom—"

The Crimson Gold Crown smashed into the black barrier, producing a thunderous booming sound.

The boom caused a resonance, as if the entire Tumur Peak were trembling.

After the rumbling noise, the Crimson Gold Crown was rebounded upwards, and the area where it hit the black screen dimmed a bit, although the surrounding light was flowing towards that spot.

"What... what’s happening? Was there an earthquake??"

Atop the peak, Ye Fan was nearly shaken off the cliff, his face changed color in fright, and he peered down, but still could see nothing.

"Swoosh—"

At the valley’s bottom, the Crimson Gold Crown, not waiting for the light at the black barrier’s damaged section to fully recover, accelerated and struck again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

For a while, the booming sounds continued non-stop; Tumur Peak seemed to be undergoing an earthquake, glaciers were shaken into cracks, turning into ice blocks and falling into the valley bottom.

Caught by this abrupt disaster, Ye Fan was terrified beyond measure. He did not stay on the mountain top but quickly ran towards a flat area below the peak top. Besides being covered with glaciers, this area had rocks which were far more stable than the glaciers.

Soon, Ye Fan reached the flat area and the continuous booming sound suddenly stopped, replaced by a thunderous rumbling noise!

Avalanche!

The Crimson Gold Crown’s continuous assaults on the black barrier eventually triggered an avalanche, and Tumur Peak’s summit collapsed, sending a mountain of snow thundering down.

"That was close!"

Seeing this, Ye Fan felt a residual fear. If he had reacted even slightly slower just then, he would have been buried by the avalanche, undoubtedly dying!

After the shock, Ye Fan once again turned his gaze towards the canyon. While witnessing countless blocks of ice falling, he also faintly saw a glimmer of crimson gold light.

"It seems, the avalanche was caused by the Crimson Gold Crown!"

A thought crossed Ye Fan’s mind. He was eager to fly down to the depths of the valley to investigate, but... it was just a thought!

In the deep part of the valley.

The Crimson Gold Crown stopped its assault, but it didn’t revert to the shape of a crown. Instead, it transformed into a crimson gold person!

This figure looked vividly lifelike, indistinguishable from a real person.

He had long crimson gold hair and a crimson gold beard, appearing like an old man.

The crimson gold elder stood barefoot, suspended in air, his brow furrowed as he looked at the black barrier with a complex expression.

"Ling Yun, old friend, I know you reinforced the seal mostly to protect them, to cover up the truth, to prevent Earth from facing a catastrophe of destruction!"

Looking on, the crimson gold Elder Huang sighed softly, speaking in obscure language, "And you left me in this world, low in Primordial Qi, because you worried about the seal being discovered! In your view, once the seal is discovered and broken, and Earth faces the catastrophe of destruction, I could save your son’s life!"

"But have you considered, having me stay in such a world, low in Primordial Qi, to guard your son instead of helping you fight and kill in that other world, this is both torture and an insult to me!"

In the air, the expression of the crimson gold elder turned slightly angry, "Once, for the sake of your children, you gave up the mission you had to shoulder, content to stay in this world. Although I was dissatisfied, I did not object, after all, it was your choice whether to complete the mission! Now, because you were injured by Ye Wenhao, you returned there to complete your mission, yet you leave me behind here, which is absolutely absurd!"

"Originally, with the level of Primordial Qi deprivation in this world, I could never have restored my power or broken this seal, but there is always a glimmer of hope in the universe—your son is lucky, having continuous serendipitous encounters, and I’ve benefited from him, recovering a trace of my power!"

"Break it for me!!"

As the words fell, the crimson gold elder suddenly transformed into a giant gold palm and ferociously struck the black barrier!
