Chapter 1621: Chapter 696: Demon Witch Sword Token, Heavenly Sovereign Clues_2 Chapter 1621: Chapter 696: Demon Witch Sword Token, Heavenly Sovereign Clues_2 “Once you enter, you can obtain a sixth-stage Immortal Artifact, and the first ten thousand disciples can even acquire a seventh-stage Immortal Artifact.”

Han Yi remained silent again, expecting him to take part in the entrance examination for the Immortal Mountain like the other Golden Immortal-level sword disciples?

And the reward is a sixth-stage and seventh-stage Immortal Artifact?

Did he lack these?

This, this…

Han Yi was speechless inside.

The information recorded on this Sword Token was clearly too outdated.

Of course, he also knew that the Sword Token was not to blame; it was because his cultivation had improved too rapidly, and since collecting the Four Fiendish Sword Qi that one time, he had not used the Sword Token again.

He was just about to put down the Sword Token when he saw the thoughts on it suddenly shake, as if sensing something, the voice changed abruptly, adopting a more respectful tone.

“May I ask what Realm the senior has reached?”

Han Yi let out a light ‘huh,’ surprised that this Sword Token could actually communicate in real-time, and moreover, the distance it could bridge was unquestionably vast, spanning endless Chaos.

He could only marvel at the mystery and power of the Demon Witch Mountain. Even a mere Sword Token possessed such miraculous abilities, far surpassing the ordinary forces at the level of Heavenly Reverence.

He thought for a moment, then responded:

“I have entered the Tao Realm.”

That respectful voice suddenly fell silent, and then another voice rang out, this one belonging to a female immortal.

“Daoist has already broken through to the Tao Realm, which is truly inconceivable. According to the Mountain Spirit’s records, you were still a Golden Immortal six thousand years ago.”

Han Yi caught the term ‘Mountain Spirit,’ guessing that it was probably equivalent to something like the spirit of the Age Candle Immortal Mansion.

“As a Daoist of the Tao Realm, there is naturally no need to mention the trials for entering the mountain.”

“However, there is one matter you may not know about: the Demon Witch Mountain in the Fu Heng Taoist Area has ninety-nine Mountain Master positions, with nine currently vacant. Ten years from now, at the Demon Witch Mountain headquarters in the Fu Heng Taoist Area, there will be a contest for the Mountain Masters. If you can become a Mountain Master, the benefits are numerous.”

“If the Daoist is interested, you are also welcome to participate.”

Han Yi was puzzled: “But I’m not from the Tao Realm of the Demon Witch Mountain, can I still participate?”

The voice from the Sword Token answered leisurely: “As the holder of the Sword Token, you are naturally a cultivator of the Demon Witch Mountain. Although there’s a vast difference between the identity of the Sword Token and your true Realm, the Demon Witch Mountain has not established a rule against such an exception.”

“Therefore, Daoist can indeed participate in the contest for the Mountain Master.”

“Moreover, if Daoist truly has the interest, you can come to the Demon Witch Mountain in advance, have your strength verified by several Mountain Masters, and exchange the sword disciple Sword Token for a corresponding Tao Realm Sword Token. Afterwards, participating in the Mountain Master contest will naturally be without objection.”

The voice paused, as if eager to entice Han Yi’s participation, and continued:

“The newly advanced Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain this time, I’ve heard, will receive a personal audience with the First Mountain Master and will be taken to the Dao God Sect to observe the Tao Tomb deductions.”

“If one can comprehend even a little, it would be an enormous opportunity for those in the Tao Realm.”

Han Yi’s eyes suddenly widened as he asked in a deep voice, “Tao Tomb deductions?”

The voice from the Sword Token, picking up on Han Yi’s interest, continued to explain: “Yes, the Tao Tomb deductions.”

“It’s said that the Dao God Sect has summoned a group of Heavenly Sovereigns from the Nine Great Dao Domains, with three at Half-Step Transcendence and tens of thousands of Heavenly Sovereigns, to deduce ways to traverse the Tao Tomb. This has been ongoing for five thousand years.”

“Daoist, that is a grand occasion. Observing it could yield unimaginable benefits.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s previously tranquil thoughts began to surge tumultuously.

He was persuaded.

Originally, even if the voice from the Sword Token offered many enticements, he had no intention to go. While being a Mountain Master was desirable, likely with considerable authority and possibly even the reward of Tao Artifacts and Tao Crystals, these things were merely sufficient for him. While they could aid his Realm advancement, their impact was not significant.

He had planned to venture out after cultivating to the Tao Fruit.

But the voice suddenly brought up the matter of the Dao God Sect and the Tao Tomb deductions, and that made his heart stir.

Since five thousand years ago, numerous Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ancient Great World received an invitation from the Dao God Sect, and after they went to the Dao God Sect, they disappeared without a trace, including Age Candle Heavenly Venerate.

Han Yi had always been puzzled about what those Heavenly Sovereigns were doing, and even after asking Xuan Zang and Myriad Calamities, they too had no idea.

They merely mentioned that the Heavenly Sovereigns had important matters to attend to and would be unable to return to the Ancient Great World in the short term.

Beyond that, they knew nothing.

At this moment, he actually heard from the Sword Token of Demon Witch Mountain the task that the Heavenly Sovereigns were undertaking.

Of course, he only heard the four words “Tao Tomb Ripple deduction”; as for any other details, he was completely in the dark.

After contemplation, Han Yi still decided to strive for it.

So many Heavenly Sovereigns had gone, which proved that the matter was extremely important, and Han Yi was no longer a lone ranger now; getting involved in major events was something he must endeavor to do.

“Alright, I will go,” Han Yi responded.

The voice from the other side finally carried a hint of joy, asking, “What is Daoist’s name? I will record it.”

“Just call me Han Yi.”

A moment later, the intent within the Sword Token dissipated and Han Yi put it away.

He shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat helpless–it seemed he had to take another trip outside. However, this time was different from the previous ones; this time it concerned the affairs of the Heavenly Sovereigns, and he might even meet Age Candle Heavenly Venerate, which counted as ‘proper business’.

Immediately, he stood up and made his way to Age Candle Mountain; there, in the Age Candle Hall, he explained the reason to Myriad Calamities Dao Ancestor who also resided there. Upon hearing the secret of the Heavenly Sovereigns, Myriad Calamities’s expression changed with alarm, and he immediately called for Xuan Zang.

“Tao Tomb Ripple deduction? This possibility is not low. Initially, when the Heavenly Sovereigns were invited, it was said that the Dao God Sect was establishing the Crossing the Tomb Alliance. As the name suggests, the purpose of this alliance is to deal with the increasingly serious Tao Tomb.”

“Now is the initial stage of the Tao Tomb, although the changes in time and space are not yet severe. However, after tens of thousands of years, or even a hundred thousand years later, at the end of the first stage of the Tao Tomb Ripple, the entire Chaos will definitely converge, so it is imperative to prepare in advance and deduce the correct way to cross the Tao Tomb.”

Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor’s face was still pale; the Taoist injury he had suffered was quite severe, no less than the time before when the Heavenly Tao warned, and though he had recovered slightly in these nine hundred years, he was still far from healed.

Upon hearing this, Myriad Calamities’s gaze flickered.

“This means, the Heavenly Sovereign should also be one of the deducers.”

The Heavenly Sovereign he was referring to was specifically Age Candle Heavenly Venerate. Then, turning to Han Yi, he said:

“Han, on this trip, you must strive to become the Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain, then follow the First Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain to the Dao God Alliance. If you can meet the Heavenly Sovereign, it would be best. If not, you would still witness the vast Chaos and countless powerful beings.”

“Such an opportunity comes once in a blue moon.”

Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor also agreed with what Myriad Calamities said, adding, “Moreover, Han need not worry about any restrictions that come with being the Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain. This force spans the Nine Great Dao Domains; as long as you do not reveal the core secrets of Demon Witch Mountain or betray it, there will be no trouble.”

“And becoming the Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain, you gain a certain status within the Great Chaotic Forces, which for you, is all benefit and no harm.”

“For example, the Heavenly Sovereign, he joined a Great Chaotic Force, Purple Mountain, and even took on the position of Elder. The intangible benefits this position has brought him are abundant, allowing him to understand many hidden secrets within Chaos.”

Han Yi nodded, his heart finally filled with greater anticipation.

Speaking of which, despite being the Age Candle Dao Ancestor and part of the Chaos Divine Race of the Ancestral God Star, and having received the Ten Thousand Travel Command from the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, he was still relatively unknown within Chaos.

Perhaps this time, participating in the competition for the Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain in Fu Heng Daoist Area, would mark another starting point for him in Chaos.

He was looking forward to it.

…

As Han Yi and the other two discussed the matter of Demon Witch Mountain within the Age Candle Hall,

far beyond the Ancient Great World, in a certain location within Chaos, at the central position of this area of Chaos, lay an incomparably gigantic, towering mountain.

This mountain spanned countless billions upon billions of miles, its height even surpassing the range that an ordinary Tao Realm could sense.

The entirety of this mountain was pitch-black, with rings and rings of utterly brilliant, colorful bands of light circling around the mountain. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these colorful bands were actually lands filled with Immortal Mountains or secret Cave Heavens, each with a different colored Array. One after another, Immortal Mountains, lands, secret realms, and Cave Heavens surrounded this towering peak, everlasting throughout the ages.

This mountain was none other than the headquarters of Demon Witch Mountain in the Fu Heng Taoist Area.
