Chapter 522 - 522 531 Longevity Mountain

522: Chapter 531 Longevity Mountain 522: Chapter 531 Longevity Mountain Ten years passed like a dream, fleeting in a blink.

When the grand doors of Dou Niu Palace slowly opened, Ye Xuan and Emperor Ziwei came out side by side.

Nine Golden Dragons pulled the Heavenly Emperor’s Magic Chariot, hanging suspended in the void until Ye Xuan and Emperor Ziwei stepped onto the chariot.

As the sky-shaking dragon chant sounded, the Heavenly Emperor’s Magic Chariot galloped toward the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Earth Immortal Realm consisted of four continents and four oceans, also known as the four poles of Heaven and Earth, including the fabled Heavenly Corner and Buzhou Divine Mountain.

Legend has it that at the ends of Heaven and Earth, four legendary creatures suppress the four poles and support the entirety of the Three Realms.

These four legendary creatures were the Eastern Azure Dragon, the Western Bai Hu, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and the Northern Xuan Wu.

The four legendary creatures rarely appeared in the world, but legend had it that their Cultivation was no less than that of a Quasi-Saint.

Nevertheless, legends were just legends, and the truth was hard to discern.

Speaking not of the vastness of the Three Realms but solely of Immortal Zhen Yuan’s Daoist grounds, the Wuzhuang Temple, which was situated in the Western Continent—the birthplace of the Western Lingshan.

As well-known, Immortal Zhen Yuan, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals and the Immortal among ten thousand immortals, practiced the Great Divine Power of the Innate Taoist, and although he was not part of The Three Pure Ones, he had established his own Daoist lineage.

He set his Daoist grounds in the Western Continent, which suggested a somewhat cryptic meaning and sparked much speculation.

Considering that the Western Two Saints founded Lingshan Buddhism and that the Western Continent was wholly Buddhist without any soil for Taoism to grow, it was odd that Immortal Zhen Yuan established his Daoist grounds there.

Did he not fear offending the Western Lingshan?

Of course, this question was never answered, nor could anyone truly know what Immortal Zhen Yuan thought, but it didn’t matter.

Because as time passed endlessly, Immortal Zhen Yuan and the Western Lingshan had always lived in peace, and this question, with the passage of time, ceased to concern the great divine power holders of the Three Realms.

Western Continent, Longevity Mountain!

Mountains stretched endlessly, towering peaks touched the clouds, and ancient, stout pines grew thousands of feet tall.

Countless spiritual birds and Mutant Beasts roamed the forests, and among these continuous mountains, Immortal Cranes circled and danced.

The pervasive Spiritual Energy illuminated the entire Longevity Mountain as if it were an Immortal Realm.

Halfway up the mountain stood a Taoist temple, weathered wooden doors, slightly mottled walls.

On either side of the gate rooted two ancient pines, their green branches lush under the sunlight.

A plaque hung above, black background with golden characters, bearing three big words: Wuzhuang Temple.

If ordinary people came here, they would never believe that a Quasi-Saint of Heaven and Earth was hidden within this utterly ordinary Taoist temple, nor would they believe that the Wuzhuang Temple was a Sacred Land held in awe even by Daluo Golden Immortals.

Boom, boom, boom!

The wooden doors of Wuzhuang Temple thunderously opened, and the sound of the Nine Heavens Dao echoed, auspicious vapors steamed, and Immortal Light surged.

Qingfeng and Mingyue, two Immortal Children, walked out from inside the temple, standing on either side of the gateway, quietly awaiting the arrival of guests from all directions.

Shushing sounds!

From all corners of Heaven and Earth, in myriad colors, countless Great Divine Power holders arrived on clouds.

Yet, no matter their fearsome identities, as they reached the outskirts of Longevity Mountain, they all retracted their Divine Skills and descended outside the mountain gate.

Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Immortal Zhen Yuan, a quasi-saint among Heaven and Earth, naturally commands respect when various powerful beings arrive at his Daoist temple.

They can only tread the rugged mountain path towards Wuzhuang Temple with a heart full of reverence, as this is also a form of respect toward Immortal Zhen Yuan.

Eastern Heavenly Vault.

Nine golden dragons roared through the heavenly vault, with Ye Xuan sitting cross-legged within the Heavenly Emperor’s magic chariot.

He was not dressed in the emperor’s robe but just in simple black attire, with Emperor Ziwei at his side, who was enthusiastically explaining the situation of Longevity Mountain.

“Esteemed younger brother, Longevity Mountain is a primordial divine mountain, already refined by my revered teacher, Immortal Zhen Yuan, into an extremely formidable spiritual treasure.

This mountain can grow large or shrink small, and can even be said to create a world of its own.

In our teacher’s hands, it possesses unimaginable might,” Emperor Ziwei excitedly revealed the origin of Longevity Mountain, while Ye Xuan quietly listened.

Although Ye Xuan was listening to Emperor Ziwei, his Dharma Eyes surveyed all directions, and the powerful beings from all around were reflected in his vision.

Strong, very strong, every immortal demon that appeared on Longevity Mountain was terrifyingly powerful, and this was the impression Ye Xuan was getting at the moment.

A black ox, twenty feet tall, though its aura did not show, the demon light that rippled around it caused the surrounding space and time to shatter.

Its cultivation was at least that of a being at the Daluo Second Water Dividing Ridge.

A figure veiled in mist evidently belonged to the lineage of ghost cultivators, probably from the Underworld.

His cultivation incredibly reached the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

However, although this person was a being of the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge, Ye Xuan’s sense was extremely sensitive, and this person was still far from the level of beings like Kong Xuan, who were at the peak of Daluo.

Of course, to step into the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge, such a being would be revered as an ancestor in the Three Realms and would undoubtedly be a terrifying existence in the Underworld as well.

An immortal, shrouded in water light, radiated gentle immortal light, appeared merely as a young boy.

However, his hair was as white as snow, and his gaze was exceptionally piercing.

His cultivation was at the peak of the Daluo Second Water Dividing Ridge, just one step away from advancing to the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

…

Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed as he continuously assessed these great divine power wielders.

Although cultivators like these three were not many, they were also not few, and some had their aura concealed.

If Ye Xuan was not mistaken, these individuals must be beings of the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

Ye Xuan estimated that, just on Longevity Mountain, there were no immortals or demons below the Daluo Realm, and the number amounted to more than a thousand.

Among them, there were about thirty beings at the Daluo Second Water Dividing Ridge, and five suspected to be at the Third Water Dividing Ridge.

“The title of Quasi-Saint is truly fearsome,” Ye Xuan muttered to himself as he withdrew his gaze.

It was merely a small discussion forum convened by Immortal Zhen Yuan, yet it had attracted so many Daluo to gather, which alone was proof of how terrifying a Quasi-Saint could be.

Of course, although there seemed to be many Daluo Golden Immortals, numbering in the thousands, in terms of the entire Three Realms, they were just a small fraction.

After all, the Three Realms were vast, and the arrival of a thousand Daluo Golden Immortals was solely attributable to the name of Immortal Zhen Yuan.

To Ye Xuan, these Daluo Golden Immortals were not so important.

What truly caught his attention were those five terrifying beings at the Third Water Dividing Ridge.

“If I could devour one of them, I could surely break into the Daluo Second Water Dividing Ridge,” Ye Xuan’s eyes lightly narrowed, his voice faint as a mosquito’s, as a slash of sinister light quietly streaked across the bottom of his eyes.

Tribulation Immortal Skill!

This was one of Ye Xuan’s trump cards.

Back when he had ascended to Daluo Golden Immortal, the Tribulation Immortal Skill had played a significant role.

However, since he ascended to the Heavenly Emperor, devouring ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals had not contributed much to the growth of his cultivation.

However, it was different for those at the Third Water Dividing Ridge.

Ye Xuan firmly believed that if he could devour a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Third Water Dividing Ridge, his cultivation would experience explosive growth.
