Chapter 1063: 767 Changyang Mountain

The powerful beings who hoped to witness a farce were destined to be disappointed. This was merely a transaction with both sides fulfilling their own needs. How could a fight possibly break out?

The world of Jianghu involves more than just fighting and killing. There are human relationships and worldliness, and even greater are the interests!

...

...

Changyang Mountain, one of the three hundred and sixty Great Ancient God Mountains in the Prehistoric World, was once the premier site for cultivation in the ancient Chaos World. Nowadays, it would be considered the top cultivation holy land.

At the end of the Ancient Era, due to the decisive battle between the Witch Clan and the demons, the Chaos World shattered, and Changyang Mountain, being one of the God Mountains of the Great Ancient, was not spared. It crumbled along with heaven and earth, leaving behind only a few fragments.

Originally, the shattered Changyang Mountain should have, with the numerous changes in heaven and earth, disappeared into the river of history. However, events often prove to be unpredictable. In the middle and late periods of antiquity, a significant event occurred in the Prehistoric World, causing Changyang Mountain to regain its past glory.

At that time, Xuanyuan and Chiyou vied for the title of Human Emperor, and Xing Tian, as a friend of Chiyou, sought to assist his friend by seeking aid from Emperor Haotian.

After a series of negotiations, Emperor Haotian agreed to Xing Tian’s request, deciding to lend a helping hand to Chiyou. However, Xing Tian was ultimately too naive and was betrayed by Emperor Haotian.

At the most critical moment of Chiyou’s battle with Xuanyuan, Emperor Haotian, who had promised to assist Chiyou, switched sides and supported Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor.

Now, the honest Xing Tian was angered. After Chiyou’s defeat, the more Xing Tian thought about it, the angrier he became, until he eventually stormed up to the Heaven Court, determined to fight Emperor Haotian to the death.

Xing Tian and Emperor Haotian—the names explained everything, as Emperor Haotian was destined to be punished by Xing Tian. It was also Emperor Haotian’s fated end. In this battle, Emperor Haotian, who was expected to surely win, instead met his downfall.

After Xing Tian ascended to the Heaven Court, Emperor Haotian didn’t take him seriously. In just a few encounters, Emperor Haotian chopped off Xing Tian’s head.

The Witch Clan’s cultivation resided entirely within their physical bodies. Once the body was damaged, death was usually near. The battle should have ended there, but to everyone’s surprise, after being beheaded, Xing Tian unexpectedly made a breakthrough on the spot, entering the realm of Great Divine Transcendents.

Using his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth, wielding the axe of Xing Tian, he cleaved Emperor Haotian to death.

At that moment, both heaven and earth were astounded!

In the end, it was Mother Earth who stepped forward, putting family ties aside to seal Xing Tian’s head on Changyang Mountain as a warning to others.

But the glory of Changyang Mountain had already come to an end with the passing of the Ancient Era, leaving behind only a few fragments. In such a state, it was naturally difficult to seal Xing Tian’s head.

Mother Earth intervened, using her great divine ability to gather the earth veins from all directions and reshaped Changyang Mountain, restoring the splendor of the Great Ancient. From that moment on, the name of Changyang Mountain echoed once again between Heaven and Earth.

...

During the ancient times, Changyang Mountain existed upon the earth, but as the ancient era ended, like other remaining God Mountains, Changyang Mountain faded into the void and out of sight.

However, this was not a problem for Jiang Chen. Back in Fire Cloud Cave, the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi had already informed Jiang Chen of Changyang Mountain’s location. Therefore, ever since he decided to journey to Changyang Mountain, it didn’t take long for him to arrive in its vicinity.

In the vast expanse of the void, a colossal god mountain stood, exuding an aura of the Prehistoric World, firmly suppressing the surrounding space.

This was Changyang Mountain, drifting in the depths of the void, unfindable by anyone without an enlightened guide, not even by the Innate Dao Sovereign.

"How can this be?"

Looking at the barren Changyang Mountain before him, Jiang Chen’s eyes were filled with confusion.

He had thought that, as one of the three hundred and sixty Great Ancient God Mountains of the Prehistoric World and containing a mighty witch such as Xing Tian, Changyang Mountain should have been covered in immortal herbs and spiritual medicines.

But as Jiang Chen approached, he discovered that the place was utterly barren, like a dead mountain devoid of any life.

If he hadn’t felt a tremendous sha qi brewing within the mountain from afar, Jiang Chen might have suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

"It must be due to the sha qi within the mountain!"

"With the sha qi leaking out like this, Xing Tian’s condition must be somewhat abnormal."

Sensing something was off, Jiang Chen did not dare to directly enter the mountain and instead observed from the outside.

Though both possess sha qi, the greatest difference between the Witch Clan and the fierce beasts is that members of the Witch Clan can control the sha qi within them, whereas fierce beasts cannot.

If the Witch Clan couldn’t control the Sha Qi within their bodies, the place where they lived would have long been eroded into a desolate land by the Sha Qi, and they would never have had the chance to rise.

At this moment, Jiang Chen could feel the overwhelming Sha Qi contained within Changyang Mountain before even getting close, giving off a strong sense of suppression, as if the eruption of that mass of Sha Qi could destroy Heaven and Earth.

Without a doubt, the owner of that Sha Qi was from the great witch, Xing Tian.

Xing Tian’s head, as well as his divine body, were all sealed within Changyang Mountain, not just his head as outside rumors suggested.

To be honest, Xing Tian’s current state was very abnormal. It’s widely known that the Witch Clan deeply loved the Chaos World and were careful not to harm it. Therefore, if not in battle, the Witch Clan restrained the Sha Qi inside their bodies to prevent it from leaking and causing adverse effects to Heaven and Earth.

However, in the sealing site of Xing Tian, surging Sha Qi was brewing, causing not a single grass to grow around, which obviously did not align with the principles of the Witch Clan. This meant that Xing Tian, sealed within Changyang Mountain, might have encountered a problem and lost control over the Sha Qi within his body.

"Something’s not right, it actually reminds me of many legends," Jiang Chen thought of some legends concerning Xing Tian due to the abnormality of this place.

According to the legends, in the battle with Emperor Haotian, Xing Tian had a breakthrough, but because his head was chopped off, he also became mentally deranged, falling into a state of frenzy.

It was precisely in this state that Xing Tian successfully killed Emperor Haotian; however, after the killing, he didn’t regain consciousness and became even more insane, with his Sha Qi surging violently, as if he wanted to blood-wash the Heaven Court.

Even Mother Earth, who intervened, wasn’t spared from his axe as he recklessly attacked her.

Initially, Mother Earth intended to heal Emperor Haotian in the Netherworld but no matter what she tried, she couldn’t awaken Xing Tian’s spirit.

Fearing that Xing Tian might become a rampaging demon, Mother Earth had no choice but to seal him in Changyang Mountain.

When Jiang Chen first heard this rumor, he thought it was someone slandering Mother Earth, but now it seemed that the rumor might be true.

This was indeed very Prehistoric, the official history is always beautified, whereas rumors often hold more truth.

"Xing Tian’s condition isn’t right, and I don’t know if he’s still conscious; if I recklessly enter and he attacks me, what then?"

Jiang Chen appeared hesitant; Xing Tian’s strength was indisputable, the ancient era’s first war god, whose glory was crafted by Emperor Haotian with his life. Even Jiang Chen didn’t think he would be a match for Xing Tian at this time.

The gap between them was too large!

Thinking it over, Jiang Chen closed his eyes, recalling everything the Heavenly Emperor told him back in Fire Cloud Cave.

"The Heavenly Emperor said that my opportunity lies in Changyang Mountain and did not mention danger, which means that this trip should be startling but safe," he consoled himself as he regained his composure.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen felt more confident. The Heavenly Emperor, Fuxi, who was the leading prophecy master, would never get it wrong; his journey should indeed be startling but safe.

As for the possibility of the Heavenly Emperor intentionally harming him?

That was a joke; if the Heavenly Emperor wanted to harm him now, he could easily crush him to death with a lift of his hand, without needing to exert such effort.

With newfound confidence, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and began walking towards Changyang Mountain.

"This mountain..."

The moment his foot touched Changyang Mountain, Jiang Chen had a premonition and suddenly stopped.

Shua~~

Jiang Chen’s left eye shone brightly, as countless Primordial Chaos Taoist patterns circulated, gazing down at Changyang Mountain beneath his feet.

In an instant, Changyang Mountain changed, the rocks became transparent, revealing mysterious runes within.

"This is..."

"The God-killing Array of the twelve Dutians!"

These runes, Jiang Chen was all too familiar with; they were the runes that composed the God-killing Array of the twelve Dutians.

With a thought, Jiang Chen suddenly soared into the sky, standing at the very pinnacle of the void, looking down at the entirety of Changyang Mountain.
