Chapter 198 Ancient Immortal Battle Zone, Great Overarching Mountain River Map
Wind was ravaging through the barren land.
He saw a white fog was rolling over, and it soon came close.
There were a lot of shadows inside the fog, but he couldn’t see them closely.
“Are they evil spirits, or souls, or Primal Spirits?” Jiang Ming asked. “They’re remnants of souls formed from evil energy and absorbing the endless essence that permeates this place. But they are weak and don’t pose any threat,” Linglong said, “However, looking at the scale, I’m afraid there will be more.”
Light-dark Linglong walked forward and lifted her finger. A light burst forth and the white fog dissipated without a single trace along with the evil spirits in it.
Throughout their journey, they came across a headless warrior, tree monster, or monster formed from a mountain. However, all of them were killed by them regardless of how strong or powerful they were.
There were many dangers in here, and even if an Imminent Immortal came in, they would be killed before they could go far.
Jiang Ming had collected a lot of immortal soldiers.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared before them.
It was a volcano. The flames spewed from inside reached 10,000 feet into the sky, lighting up the sky. Even though they were several thousand miles away, they still felt the terrible scorching heat.
There was a huge nest on the peak of the mountain, with dozens of fire crows circling above it. Each of the fire crow was comparable to a Heavenly Immortal Realm.
On the other side of the mountain was a lake that was as big as a sea. There was an island surrounded by mountains at the center of the lake, and within the center of the mountain was an ancient castle.
Jiang Ming squinted his eyes and he could vaguely see some shadows inside the castle.
“I sensed a powerful flame power over the volcano. I’m sure there’s a high-quality flame origin over there. Let me go have a look!” Phoenix Linglong said as she glanced at Linglong before turning her head to set her gaze at Jiang Ming. “Take care of yourself!” Jiang Ming said.
“Sigh…” Linglong sighed, “My clone cares more about you than me, senior brother.”
“Of course!” Spatial Linglong giggled, “Our senior brother can sleep with us. Can you?”
“Hmph? Seems like all of you need to be taught a lesson!” Linglong frowned and snarled.
CO
“Senior brother!” Spatial Linglong ran to take cover behind Jiang Ming. Pouting her mouth, she said, “Look at her. She scolded me again. You need to punish her.”
Jiang Ming was speechless. “Stop messing around, you guys. We’re in an area we’ve never been before, and we need to keep our guard up at all times.”
Bam…
An explosion came from the distance. All of them jerked their heads to the front and saw that Phoenix Linglong had already started slaying some fire crows. She controlled the power of the phoenix, and every single move of her was imbued with a supreme aura. She was naturally stronger than the fire crows, not to mention that her cultivation level was at a whole different level from them.
It took her only a few seconds to kill all of the fire crows. She then waved at Jiang Ming and jumped into the volcano.
“Senior brother, we two are going to check out the castle over there,” Spatial Linglong said, “I sense something ominous from there, so you two just stay here for a while.”
Time Linglong stepped forward.
Both of them decided to work together to explore the castle.
Jiang Ming nodded.
Swoosh!
Both of them then flew toward the castle.
“Senior brother, did you sense anything?” Linglong asked as she gazed at the castle.
Jiang Ming frowned. It was true that he could sense something over there, but he did not know what it was.
A divine light appeared from his eyes as he activated his Dharma Eyes.
A haze suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and he couldn’t see through it no matter how hard he tried.
In the meantime, Spatial and Time Linglong had arrived above the castle in the lake. Before they could come into the land, a horde of creatures rushed at them from below and started attacking them.
“What is going on? I can’t sense anything even though they’re fighting over there?” Jiang Ming asked, “Could it be that the castle is protected by some sort of formation?”
“No!” Linglong’s eyes glowed, “It should be an immortal weapon.”
“An immortal weapon?”
“Exactly! There are no strong people over there, and all of them are no match for Spatial Linglong. However, one of them is at the peak of the Mystical Immortal Realm. He wields a powerful ability, and he could fight on par with Spatial and Time Linglong. According to my experience, the lake as well as the entire area over there is brought into existence by an immortal weapon.”
“An immortal weapon huh…” Jiang Ming mumbled and he activated the World Projection to envelope the entire area.
At the same time, he activated the Universe Furnace, sending a shockwave across the Akasa. Then, he saw the surface of the lake begin to fold and the island began to turn blurry. It seemed like a painting that had fallen into the void.
He could also sense a terrifying power from inside.
“You’re right. It’s formed by an immortal weapon,” Jiang Ming said, his voice filled with surprise. “Are those creatures trapped in there by mistake, or are they sealed in there?” He squinted his eyes and zeroed in on one of them.
Swoosh!
The Human Paths Record was opened. Name: Peng Fei.
Race: Golden-wing Eagle.
Gender: Male.
Cultivation Base: Level 13 (Mystical Immortal Realm).
Relationship: 0.
Innate Talent: Taiyi.
Status: Originally the royal prince of the Golden-wing Eagle race. He was incredibly talented, but brutal at the core. He once devoured three million living creatures as food and was sealed in the Mountain River Map, a Great Overarching Weapon. Several years later, a tremor was sent over the Mountain River Map, causing the mountains to collapse and rivers to overturn. It seemed like everything was on the verge of destruction, but it came to a stillness in the end. However, everything inside had become a mess. He tried to run away but to no avail.
After some time had passed, he noticed that the master of the Mountain River Map was gone. He was both excited and stunned. He tried to run away again, yet he failed. In the end, he tried to refine the immortal weapon.
As time passed, more and more creatures were coming into the map, and it was only then he realized the world outside was a ruin of a great war that had been forgotten in an unknown corner.
“The Mountain River Map huh. It’s a Great Overarching Weapon, but its owner died without any reason. Could it be that he was killed in the war? That’s why the Mountain River Map was left here and formed a space like this.”
When the thought surfaced in Jiang Ming’s, he poured more power into the Universal Furnace in an attempt to suppress the Mountain River Map.”
The difference between the grades of two immortal weapons was huge. However, since the Mountain River Map had lost its master, not to mention that it was damaged before, it only lasted for a while before it got crushed by the Universal Furnace.
“Senior brother, he’s already dead,” Linglong said, “When you were repressing the map, he lost his power, and both of them killed him. It’s just that they don’t know how to come out of the map. Do you have any idea, senior brother?”
“That is a Great Overarching Weapon, but it doesn’t have any master anymore. Tell both of them to refine it from the inside, while the rest of you do it from the outside. We’re going to make this immortal weapon ours!” Jiang Ming said.
Linglong nodded.
She flew away with the rest of the clones. They came to the middle of the air and sat in a lotus position. After that, they began activating their mana to refine the Mountain River Map.
Yin-Yang Linglong stayed on Jiang Ming’s side to protect him.
“Senior brother!”
“Yeah?”
“It’s just the two of us left here.”
“So?”
“I’m sure you know what I’m trying to say, senior brother.”
“Wh… What? Are you crazy? We can’t do it here.”
“Why not? Nobody is watching.”
“No means no! If you don’t stop now, I’m going to smack you.”
“Hehe, you want to smack me? Come, come! You can smack me all you want. Senior brother, why is your face so red? Could it be that you’re excited as well?”
“Stop teasing me!”
“Haha!”
Bam…
The volcano burst and a phoenix appeared from within. Its wings were so wide that they covered the entire sky.
Screech! The phoenix let out a cry before turning back to its human form and went back to Jiang Ming.
When she saw what Jiang Ming and Yin-Yang Linglong was doing, she harrumphed coldly, “Hmph! Shameless!”
Jiang Ming was now sitting on top of a rock. He seemed a little bit excited as he looked at Phoenix Linglong, who was dusting her clothes, and asked, “How do you feel?”
“Excellent!” Phoenix Linglong replied as she smiled at him. “I found my opportunity there, and guess what I found inside, senior brother.”
“It must be something related to fire. Since there are fire crows circling on top of the volcano, there must be a high-leveled creature inside. Could it be the three-legged golden crow?”
“Bingo, senior brother!” Phoenix Linglong exclaimed, “There is nothing but lava inside the volcano and at the bottom of it is the corpse of a three-legged golden crow in the Taiyi Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much origin essence left since it has been eroded by time and due to the existence of the fire crows. I refined the remaining sun’s true fire, and allowed my bloodline to evolve once again. I guess I’m one step closer into the Taiyi Realm.”
“It really is the three-legged golden crow!”
Jiang Ming then remembered one expert that he killed in the past. In the person’s status, he said that he had seen a great sun descending from the sun. Now that Jiang Ming thought about it, he was certain that the person must’ve seen the three-legged golden crow.
After all, the three-legged golden crow was otherwise known as the god of the sun.
Woosh!
Suddenly, a noise came from the area in front.
A painting appeared from thin air, and both Spatial and Time Linglongs came out of it.
“We did it!” Linglong had returned as well, her face filled with joy, “This is a Great Overarching Weapon. Although it’s broken, it’s still a very versatile and powerful item.”
“Not bad. I’ll be counting on you to protect our peak from now onward,” Jiang Ming said.
“Hah,” Linglong pouted, “In the past, I always said that I would protect you and guard Chuyang Peak, but what happened was that you were the one who did everything in the dark. Senior brother, you should take this map.”
“You keep it. I have other items to protect myself,” Jiang Ming replied as he shook his head. “You should put more effort in your training so that you can step into the Great Overarching Realm faster. Then, I can finally relax and enjoy the sun to my heart’s content.”
“Hehehe, then I’ll massage your back!”
“Hahaha! I’ll be looking forward to it!” Jiang Ming laughed.
“Senior brother, you see, don’t you think this is a moment that is worth celebrating?” Linglong walked forward, followed by the eight clones.
“You’ve already had a lot of fun with Yin-Yang and Phoenix Linglong, so for the sake of fairness, you can’t forget about us too!”
After a long while, Linglong carried Jiang Ming and both of them traveled across the entire area. After they had collected all of the immortal weapons and spiritual medicines, they returned to the stone monument and went back to the Jiuyang Sect through the spatial node.
To be on the safe side, Linglong added another layer of seal outside.
Chuyang Peak.
Jiang Ming sat in the rattan chair and took a sip from his ginseng tea. “I’m sure I’d die in your hands one day.”
“Senior brother, I’ve decided. I must cultivate the pill making techniques so that I can make some pills for you to regulate your body,” Linglong blinked her eyes and chuckled, earning herself a glance from Jiang Ming.
“Senior brother!” Linglong squatted beside him and said seriously, “I don’t feel good about the series of events that happened some time ago. There’s no way the Heavenly Realm would let us go so easily after we’ve killed so many immortals and destroyed all of the Sacred Lands. Also, about the battlefield ruin beneath the Jiuyang Sect. I’m sure there will be other people coming for it to get the Mountain River Map. After all, it’s a Great Overarching Weapon. It’s going to be very dangerous after this, so I decided to go back to the inheritance space to keep on cultivating.”
“Go ahead!” Jiang Ming said, “No matter what is going on, making yourself stronger is never wrong.”
“What about you, senior brother? What are you going to do after I leave?”
“I’ll just do nothing!”
“Answer me seriously, senior brother!”
“I’m answering you seriously. There’s nothing I can do other than enjoying the sun.”
“Well, you’re right. Your situation is different. It isn’t very useful for you to cultivate in seclusion, so you can only enjoy the sun every day. Why don’t you go look for Xi Yao to keep you company?”
“Go ahead. When you come back next time, you will have a lot of nephews.”
“Hah, nothing happened after you slept with all 10 of us for so long, and you wish to impregnate Xi Yao? Don’t make me laugh, please, senior brother!”
“Are you looking for some beating?!” Jiang Ming snarled.
“Hehe, senior brother, wait for me. We’ll have 3,000 children together, and each of them can learn one Dao!” Linglong said as she activated the Heavenly Order.
She took the nine clones with her, and Jiang Ming couldn’t help himself but let out a chuckle.
He looked to the side and shouted, “Senior brother Chang, come out. Have you come out of your seclusion already?”
“Yeah,” Chang Yiming replied as he landed in front of Jiang Ming, “I didn’t want to disturb you two, so I didn’t show myself so soon. By the way, I have to admit that you’re really good at raising Linglong. Look at her. She has grown up to be such a mature and beautiful woman.”
“Watch your mouth! If she’s here, she would have crushed you!” Jiang Ming said.
A chill rushed down Chang Yiming’s spine as he looked around. After ascertaining that Linglong was not around, he let out a sigh and said gloomily, “Stop scaring me!”
“Hah! Come, let’s drink!”
Jiang Ming prepared some dishes and took out the wine that he brewed himself.
“Sure! I’ve been craving your food for a very long time!’ Chang Yiming said.
He had already stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, and his cultivation speed had improved by leaps and bounds.
Right now, there were plenty of Nascent Soul experts in the sect, and there would be more in the future.
Both of them chatted with each other until night time.
Jiang Ming watched the sky and flipped through the Human Paths Record.
When he saw the “status” of Xue Tao, the Demon Lord, he nearly jumped up.
