Chapter 906: Chapter 878: The Sky Has Changed

Back then, after the Beast Tide, Li Chen had collected the corpses of the Primordial Beasts and fed the Super Gu he brought back from Miaojiang into them after establishing ownership.

Although, as far as Li Chen was concerned, that so-called Super Gu didn’t seem to serve much purpose at the time.

But for some reason, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation.

It was as if this Super Gu would eventually bring him a shocking surprise.

According to the words left behind by the people of Miaojiang, the Super Gu becomes more terrifying the stronger the creatures it devours.

In fact, even the Miaojiang experts themselves didn’t seem to fully understand the limits of what the Super Gu could grow into.

To be fair, what they had fed their Super Gu with were nothing more than ordinary, slightly stronger beasts.

But what Li Chen offered to his was Primordial Beasts!

When the underground chamber door opened, revealing the scene inside, not even Li Chen could suppress his astonishment.

The underground chamber had been completely emptied.

The heaps of Primordial Beast corpses that were originally stored there had all vanished without a trace—not even a single bone was left.

And amidst the empty underground chamber, the sole thing remaining was a single cocoon, no larger than the size of a palm, lying quietly on the ground.

"This..."

"I only discovered this situation yesterday," Alice said to Li Chen.

"So many Primordial Beasts, completely devoured?" Li Chen’s expression revealed his disbelief.

Moreover, judging by the color of the cocoon, it was clear it had been formed for quite some time now.

In other words, the Primordial Beasts had already been consumed long ago.

Li Chen couldn’t help but recall the size of the Super Gu previously.

How could something barely the size of a fist achieve this?

Leaping down, Li Chen picked up the cocoon. The moment it rested in his hand, he felt an inexplicable sense of connection—it was as if this thing was deeply, inextricably bound to him.

"So this is what it’s like after recognizing a master?" Li Chen nodded and carefully stored the cocoon away.

For now, he was filled with anticipation for what the Super Gu might become after breaking out of the cocoon.

"Let’s go!"

Once everything was prepared, Li Chen sought out Yao Chou once more, and the two headed together toward the Relic’s location.

Now that Li Chen held the Identity Token for the Relic, he no longer needed the Formation to open it.

In fact, after giving Li Chen the token, he heard that several elders had modified the Formation.

The previous Formation could no longer open the Relic at all.

"Still, bringing an outsider in like this... won’t they scold me for it?" This was Li Chen’s only concern.

"Oh well, it’s not like the Old Li Family has anyone else left aside from me. Do you think those old geezers would actually dare to kill me?"

Thinking this, Li Chen relaxed once more.

"Let’s go!"

...

Snow Mountain.

Perhaps because of the climate, avalanches had occurred repeatedly in recent times on the Snow Mountain. Even the snowpack seemed to have thinned noticeably, as if melted away.

"The Teleportation Array is ready!"

"All units, disciples, prepare!"

"Three! Two! One, activate!"

A Mysterious light shot up from a deliberately cleared area of land.

The brilliance was dazzling.

Seeing this light, many people nearby couldn’t help but smile.

"After investing so much manpower and resources, the Teleportation Array is finally complete!"

"Indeed!" a disciple said, his face filled with relief. "We’ve finally completed the task assigned by the elders."

"I guess the next step would be selecting the disciples to send out?"

"How envious! I wish I could see the outside world too. Ever since I was born, I’ve never seen what it’s like out there!"

"Tsk, you? Forget it. I’ve heard the outside world is incredibly dangerous. Remember Andy from our cohort? He was more talented and stronger than any of us! Yet he still perished out there."

"And not only that!" another disciple whispered, "I heard those two overseers from the Luo family that the elders sent out also met with misfortune."

"What? Overseers? But they were Profound-Level experts!"

"Exactly, which is why I’m saying—someone with your level of strength shouldn’t even dream about going out."

"Senior Brother is right. I should focus on cultivating..." The young disciple, who had been full of anticipation moments ago, immediately hung his head low.

Most disciples of the Holy Mountain were taken there as children, leaving them with no memories of the outside world at all.

They had spent their entire lives on the Holy Mountain and had never seen what lay beyond.

For them, the outside world was a mix of wonder and fear.

Only those with sufficient strength were qualified to be sent off the mountain.

Previously, the Formation of the Holy Mountain had been far too powerful, allowing only the weakest disciples to pass through.

However, due to certain special circumstances, the Formation had weakened over time, presenting the Holy Mountain with an unprecedented opportunity.

"This time, we’ll be sending down ten overseers and twenty Yellow-Rank disciples, as well as Elder Luo, our recently promoted Earth-Level expert, who can barely pass through the Teleportation Array."

In the grand hall of the Holy Mountain, a gathering of elders commenced their deliberations.

"Our objective this time is to establish a foothold in the outside world to prepare for the eventual arrival of the Holy Mountain’s dominance. And there’s another matter—to eliminate that brat Li Chen!"

"Even if he is that man’s son, the dignity of the Holy Mountain cannot be sullied!" declared the Great Elder firmly.

"That man has been gone for so many years. This world has undergone significant changes. Moreover, it seems the West has seen the emergence of some strange forces. When the sect master awakens, it will mark the day our Holy Mountain rules all under heaven!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

After the meeting dispersed, Elder Murong quietly separated from the group and headed to a hidden location.

"The Teleportation Array is ready. When the time comes, disguise yourself well, and I’ll arrange a new identity for you to blend in with the disciples being sent out. Remember, once you leave, don’t return!"

Standing before Elder Murong was... An Qin.

"Thank you, Grandpa Murong! But... what about you?"

"For now, I am still an elder of the Holy Mountain. Even if they find something out, they won’t dare move against me. Don’t worry about me," Elder Murong said with a reassuring smile.

"Remember, once you leave the mountain, never return. The Holy Mountain... has already changed!"

Hearing Elder Murong’s words, An Qin’s face turned somber. As the former Saint Heir, she was privy to some of the Holy Mountain’s secrets. With a grave expression, she nodded earnestly.

"Grandpa Murong, I understand!"
