Duan Gujin recovered to his peak state and then entered the Hundred Saints Mountain.
He followed the map for quite some time before he finally found some similar places.
After repeatedly confirming, he was sure that he had found the approximate location of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
"This must be the place!"
Duan Gujin was delighted, knowing that despite countless years, the majestic mountains of the Hundred Saints Mountain would not have changed much.
He determined the location marked on the map by referring to these mountains.
He then followed the marked location and entered deeper into the Hundred Saints Mountain.
The deeper he went into the Hundred Saints Mountain, the higher the level of Demon Beasts he sensed around him.
When he had covered half the distance according to the map, he found that the levels of the surrounding Demon Beasts had reached the Martial Emperor Realm.
In the world of Demon Beasts, a beast at the level of Martial Emperor would usually occupy a territory for itself, considering it its domain.
If another Demon Beast of the Martial Emperor Realm intrudes into its territory, the territorial beast would actively expel the intruder, and a fierce fight over the territory would erupt.
As he ventured into this area, Duan Gujin did not conceal his Life Aura.
Despite the presence of Martial Emperor Realm Demon Beasts, such beasts usually occupy a vast area; he felt it unlikely to encounter a beast of that level straightaway.
Although these Demon Beasts were as strong as a Martial Emperor Realm warrior, they had low intelligence, making them relatively easier to handle than human warriors of the same level.
Thus, such beasts of Martial Emperor Realm are not considered Demon Emperors.
In the Demon Clan World, only those who have awakened Divine Wisdom and transformed into humanoid form are termed Demon Emperors.
At the same level, a Human Warrior is usually no match for a Demon Emperor.
Because Demon Emperors have much stronger bodies at the same cultivation level.
Duan Gujin encountered several Demon Beasts of the Martial Sect Realm along the way but not a single one from the Martial Emperor Realm, which delighted him.
"It seems my luck isn't too bad; according to the map, I'm almost at the destination!"
He looked up ahead and saw a vast expanse of majestic mountains.
These mountains were similar to those depicted on the map; he knew he had reached his destination.
He soon stood atop a tall mountain peak and using the method taught in the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture, he discovered that this place was really extraordinary.
"According to the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture, there's likely to be a treasure in this place!"
Duan Gujin was overjoyed and quickly began searching the nearby area according to the records of the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture.
After one day, he had thoroughly scouted the nearby surroundings.
"Ahead in this valley, there should be a treasure!"
Duan Gujin, following the records of the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture, headed towards the valley.
Upon entering the valley, he found it filled with lush, unusually dense trees, distinctly different from those outside.
"The trees here are so lush! The Demon Energy here is ten times denser than outside! It's truly terrifying!"
After Duan Gujin entered the valley, he noticed that even the weeds in the valley were ten times taller than those outside and the Demon Energy was ten times denser.
With his Divine Sense extended, he quickly discerned a group of Martial Emperor Realm Demon Beasts living in the woods ahead.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that these were a large group of Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons.
"I didn't expect this place to have so many Martial Emperor Realm Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons at the same time!"
Duan Gujin's mind raced, suspecting that the special growth environment here might have led to the remarkable number of Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons.
In most parts of Hundred Saints Mountain, the growing environment dictates that there can only be one Demon Emperor level beast in a given area.
If there are two Demon Emperor level beasts in a certain area, they would erupt in fierce battles over food.
When Duan Gujin suddenly spotted nine Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons ahead, it indicated that the area had ample food, and they wouldn't need to fight over it.
At the same time, it meant that the nine Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons had developed a certain level of Divine Wisdom.
Duan Gujin cast his Divine Sense around and quickly grasped the general situation of the place.
He did not want to confront the nine Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons and had intended to quietly leave, but the next moment, when he saw the large tree where the pythons were, he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That tree looks like a Nine-star Divine Tree!"
Fruits called Immortal Origin Fruit grow on the Nine-star Divine Tree.
It is said that just by eating an Immortal Origin Fruit, its energy can help a Martial Artist swiftly clear a Martial Meridian.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, trying to locate an Immortal Origin Fruit on the tree.
After a while, he found a blood-red fruit on one side of the tree.
He extended his Divine Sense and locked onto the blood-red fruit.
Moments later, he was certain that the blood-red fruit he saw was mature, and there was a strong Spirit Energy inside it.
"I wonder how many more of these fruits are on that tree?"
He scanned with his Divine Sense, continuing to search for other Immortal Origin Fruits.
But after searching the rest of the tree, he found no other similar fruits.
"It seems I need to get closer to see for myself!"
Duan Gujin concealed his Life Aura and slowly moved forward.
When he was about a hundred meters away from the tree, he felt that the Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons might have sensed his presence.
Thus, he did not continue moving forward.
He projected his Divine Sense, carefully inspecting the tree ahead.
Now, being only over a hundred meters away from it, he could see the details of the tree more clearly.
After a while, he confirmed his earlier judgement; the tree he was seeing was indeed the Nine-star Divine Tree.
One very noticeable feature of the Nine-star Divine Tree is that its leaves look like stars with nine points.
Due to this unique leaf structure, it is known as the Nine-star Divine Tree.
Thinking of the mature Immortal Origin Fruits ahead that could help a Martial Artist clear a Martial Meridian, Duan Gujin suddenly became excited as if invigorated.
He had already loosened his sixth Martial Meridian previously, but until now, he hadn't obtained any High-level Spirit Medicine to help clear it.
"It's like someone bringing a pillow just as I am feeling sleepy!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and numerous strategies to attract the Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons flashed through his mind.
But after pondering for a long while, he discarded most of those plans.
"It looks like those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons might be aware that it is a divine tree, thus, they have been guarding the Nine-star Divine Tree!"
The Nine-star Divine Tree can be considered an Innate Spiritual Object. As it grows, it releases odors around its body that can help Demon Beasts grow, thereby attracting them to guard it.
And some beasts with higher Divine Wisdom know that the Nine-star Divine Tree is an Innate Spiritual Object, and living alongside it is greatly beneficial.
Thus, Duan Gujin concluded that those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons were 'recruited' by the Nine-star Divine Tree to become its guardian beasts.
