Chapter 819: Chapter 49 What? [2 in 1]

"So the Jiuli God’s secret realm is also near Zhennan Region’s Mountain."

Distant hills stretching far and wide, nearby waters flowing endlessly; the cries and roars of birds and beasts were incessant to the ear, this place was a valley not far from Zhennan Region’s Mountain. It seemed like an area where human foot had rarely trespassed in a century, yet in an instant, several figures descended.

Leading them was Elder Tan, the Jiuli tomb guard, who was gravely injured and looked pale. He had intended to excavate the secret realm a few days later. However, the Shushan people preferred him in a weakened state, and Master Wen Yuan immediately decided, urging everyone to set off right away.

Following him were Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai, the pair walking shoulder to shoulder, as if figures out of a painting.

Although Jiang Yuebai had not yet ascended to seek the path of Wen Dao, by fusing various Divine Skills with her Immortal Spirit Body, her combat power was far beyond that of an ordinary Sixth Realm. Therefore, Chu Liang felt at ease bringing her along to explore the secret realm. Since the matter was related to Shenxu Temple, Immortal Qi Jing also allowed her to make this journey. He was busy helping the Western Sea Sword Emperor reconstruct his physical body, which was nearing completion, so Jiang Yuebai was not needed for the time being.

It could only be said that reaching the Seventh Realm was not purely a matter of talent. Sudden enlightenment depended first and foremost on opportunity, and without it, breakthrough was impossible. Otherwise, based purely on innate talent alone, who in this generation could compare to her Immortal Spirit Body?

Xu Ziyang was also traveling alongside, the Eldest Senior Brother from Jade Sword Peak standing tall and erect, his eyes glimmering like torches, his sharp temperament unchanged for many years.

Looking further down, nestled by the feet of Elder Tan, was a plump Iron Eating Beast. The little creature ran swiftly, but it seemed to have a fear of heights, clinging tightly to Elder Tan’s shin.

If the Jiuli God had raised this one back in the day, in case of an urgent situation, it would be hard to say who would be whose mount.

Elder Tan landed in the valley, gazing at the distant Zhennan Region’s Mountain and sighed softly, "Ah."

For someone of his generation, concepts such as the ancient Jiuli God were long gone. The reason he still upheld the duties of a tomb guard was merely a sense of mission passed down from ancestors. Gazing at the age-old Zhennan Region’s Mountain, he probably had his own regrets about the Tan Clan’s destiny.

Once everyone had settled, Elder Tan pointed to a rock wall in the valley, covered in spotty cracks: "The entrance to the secret realm is right here, but you must be prepared before entering. I don’t know what it has turned into inside, and that mysterious Taoist might still be there."

"Hmm," Chu Liang said, "We are ready."

The three formed a semi-circle behind Elder Tan, who stood in the middle, manoeuvering a hand seal and gently pushing; with a rumble, the fissure slowly opened.

Boom—

A blindingly brilliant, scorching light suddenly burst forth from the fissure. Chu Liang instinctively stood in front of Jiang Yuebai to shield her from the bright light; Elder Tan also placed his palm over the eyes of the Iron Eating Beast, helping it block the glare.

Xu Ziyang, without a change in expression, quietly turned his head away.

However, his qi was constantly locked onto Elder Tan. He wasn’t here purely for the Golden Generation’s gathering, but with a mission. His task was to keep a close watch on Elder Tan, not allowing for any slight abnormality. Although Elder Tan was gravely injured, the Jiuli secret realm was, after all, his home field, and who knew what might happen there.

With Xu Ziyang present, the Shu Mountain Upper Echelon would feel much more at ease.

Whoosh—

As the bright light vanished, their figures had already disappeared from the spot. The cracked rock wall had also quietly closed.

...

Thump, thump, thump.

Several sounds of landing could be heard, and when the vision cleared, they had arrived in an even more ancient forest. The trees here often towered over thirty feet, exuding a wild, primeval aura, with the sounds of beasts faintly audible.

Moreover, as soon as Chu Liang arrived in this place, he sensed an odd, yet vaguely familiar aura suffusing the air.

However, before he had the chance to ponder this aura, Jiang Yuebai gently pulled at him, "Look over there."

Chu Liang looked towards where she was pointing, and saw through the top of the trees a majestic city in the distance, its walls towering, nearly reaching the clouds. The entire metropolis was cast from bronze that concealed radiance!

An immense Bronze City!

"What is that place?" Xu Ziyang also asked aloud.

"I don’t know," Elder Tan shook his head.

"Hmm?" The three young people looked at him skeptically.

"I truly don’t know..." Elder Tan said somberly: "Actually, before I came in, I could feel that some unknown change had occurred in the secret realm. When I left, this place was devastated by that mysterious Taoist, reduced to a desolate wasteland, and that Bronze City... it had never appeared before. But..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The records of my clan say that in ancient times the Jiuli God cast a huge Bronze City for all Jiuli tribes to live in; he also created Bronze Mountain as his unsurpassable palace. Yet that city had been destroyed at an unknown time, existing only in legends..."

"Could everything we are seeing be an illusion?" Chu Liang scanned his surroundings carefully with his Divine Sense, but detected no flaws.

If this were an illusion, it would definitely be one that only someone of Cai Yi’s caliber could cast.

Although his Divine Sense didn’t reveal any discrepancies, it did behold the distant vista. There, a fierce group of Armored Soldiers was hurtling towards them.
