Chapter 178 - 178 178 The Battle of the Past

178: Chapter 178: The Battle of the Past 178: Chapter 178: The Battle of the Past The mystery of the Holy Mountain lies not only in itself, but also in the fact that it is a stronghold for the twelve Main Gods and has a deep connection to the origin of the twelve Main Gods.

In the Underworld, apart from the twelve Main Gods, there are many other strongmen, but they never interfere with the affairs of the twelve Main Gods.

However, recently, intelligence from Netherworld Palace, War God Temple, and Moon God Temple indicates that many experts have arrived at the Holy Mountain.

The group slowly arrived at the Holy Mountain.

Although the temperature was high, from a distance, starting at the mid-mountain, the Holy Mountain was covered in snow.

Judging solely by the scenery, it’s indeed a fine tourist attraction.

As soon as everyone reached the foot of the mountain, the people from the War God Temple, mostly barbaric strongmen, looked more like the Spartan Army, which also fits with the martial style of Ares, the War God.

In contrast, the people from the Moon God Temple were all dressed in white, with a majority being women.

The two temple groups walking together created a sense of disharmony.

“We have arrived.” At the foot of the mountain, there was a fog, a natural concealment of the Holy Mountain.

The fog is ever-present, and communication devices fail here, which is why this area is also known as the “Bermuda Triangle.” Only cultivators can sense the essence of this place.

Ji Qian waved her Magic Wand, and from the tip, a gem emitted a soft white light that gradually dispersed the fog, revealing the path up the mountain.

“Let’s hurry up.” Wang Kai urged impatiently.

Since they started walking, he noticed that both Ji Qian and Ye Shikai kept stern faces, as if preoccupied with heavy thoughts.

Suddenly, Ye Shikai glanced back at the path behind them, and Su Qingyu’s face flashed through his mind, although he did not know why she suddenly came to mind.

“Let’s go,” Ye Shikai said indifferently, turning his head and walking on.

Due to the complex situation on the Holy Mountain, aside from the key figures from the three Main God Temples, the others were simply standing by at the foot of the mountain.

“Where should we go?” asked Ye Shikai.

“The Holy Mountain has opened; something major must have happened in the Temple of Gods,” Ji Qian said.

“Inside the Holy Mountain, apart from the Temple of Gods, there are many dangerous places, so be very cautious.” The Temple of Gods mentioned by Ji Qian is situated at the peak of the Holy Mountain, home to the twelve palaces of the Main Gods.

However, unlike other Main God Temples scattered across the world used as bases, these twelve palaces on the Holy Mountain are a place of opportunities.

“Legend has it that, centuries ago, Eastern and Western cultivators were bitter enemies.

Eastern cultivators once organized a powerful coalition of cultivators and crushed the Western cultivators on their way to the Holy Mountain, the battlefield of that decisive fight,” Ji Qian said, walking while telling Ye Shikai and Wang Kai about it.

Moon God Temple holds a vast number of documents, including many legends, historical facts, and myths.

“What was the outcome?

Did the Eastern coalition win?” Wang Kai asked out of boredom.

“No, the Eastern coalition fell into disarray at the critical moment and was defeated by the Western cultivators,” Ji Qian shook her head, a hint of regret on her face.

“The documents don’t detail the events, only the outcome.”

After half a day’s walk, everyone rested in a valley.

“If you ask me, if they had won back then, the center of the world’s cultivation might not be in the West,” Wang Kai commented after hearing about the war between the East and West, seemingly indignant as though he regretted being born centuries too late to participate in that battle.

“What you said is correct.

That battle was the largest in terms of scale and numbers in history.

The current world cultivation landscape is largely a result of that battle,” Ji Qian said.

“If there’s a chance, I really wish to see it,” Wang Kai said regretfully, pushing Ye Shikai’s shoulder.

“What about you, Old Ye?

Would you be interested in witnessing that battle?”

Ye Shikai snapped back to reality after Wang Kai’s push, having been out of it since the climb began.

“So you’re saying that there should be many remains of the Eastern and Western experts on the Holy Mountain, right?” Wang Kai said excitedly.

“Yes, these ruins are where those experts fell, and there must be treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and potions inside,” Ji Qian hit the nail on the head.

The Holy Mountain’s harvest is genuine, but since these ruins are valuable, it also means they are not easily accessible.

“Ji Qian, you mentioned earlier that this great war took place several centuries ago.

Do we have an exact year?” Ye Shikai suddenly asked.

“Roughly, it was around the Qin Dynasty,” Ji Qian guessed after a thought.

“I see, that was quite a long time ago.”

“I can’t believe that there were cultivators even back then,” Wang Kai murmured to himself.

Ji Qian rolled her eyes at him.

“Of course, there have been cultivators for a long time, but they have never been recorded in the annals of history.”

“My lord, I feel the presence of living creatures nearby,” Selena warned suddenly, and everyone swiftly became alert.

Suddenly, a roaring sound emerged from the forest behind them, and gradually, a gigantic beast emerged.

The creature had a body like a tiger, with dragon-horn-like structures on its head and its four legs surrounded by flames, standing as tall as two men.

The group remained vigilant against the giant beast.

Clearly, this was not a creature recognized today.

However, from the perspective of cultivators, the giant beast exuded a powerful aura and seemed very hostile.

Kui Tuo Si, being straightforward, directly picked up dual blades and lunged at the beast.

Although the beast was huge, it was quite agile and dodged the attack with ease.

Then, with a body slam, it sent Kui Tuo Si flying several meters away before Phobos quickly caught him.

Wang Kai saw his subordinate get hit and, without hesitation, channeled his Inner Strength and struck fiercely at the giant beast.

Ji Qian also waved her Magic Wand, drawing several arcane and complex symbols.

The light emitted from the gem slowly formed a light Array.

This Array was the Moonlight Formation.

When activated with the Inner Strength of the gem, the Moonlight Formation’s power was immense, enveloping the giant beast’s body and impeding its movement.

Selena attacked the giant beast from the side while Kui Tuo Si and Phobos quickly regained their composure and joined the fight.

On the other hand, Ye Shikai stood motionless, staring at the giant beast without any intention to fight, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

Wang Kai launched a punch, and the giant beast lunged fiercely in return.

Colliding with each other, both were forced to step back.

Feeling threatened, the beast roared furiously towards the sky, and the restraints of the Moonlight Formation seemed less effective.

Kui Tuo Si, Phobos, and Selena formed a triangular formation, keeping the giant beast at bay.
