Chapter 578: Traitor (2)
“Plop!”
Xiao Man finally landed on the ground.
To her surprise, the ground was very soft.
Moreover, her landing only created a little impact, causing her body to sway slightly.
The Divine Mountain in front of her stood tall.
Deep in the core of the earth, in the center of the world, the mountain was slowly rotating.
The spiritual essence of Mount Zhong was slowly dissipating.
And on the mountainside, Xiao Man saw the shadow of the Shura.
At this moment, the Asura was dragging the heavenly demons behind her, trying hard to climb the mountain.
“Why isn’t she flying?” Xiao Man was puzzled.
Soon, she knew that flying was prohibited in this place!
This was Mount Zhong, or The Divine Mountain of the mystical realm!
And it was one of the few Divine Mountains!
The sacred mountain that gave birth to the torch dragon that created this world. His power was unimaginable!
In the ancient legends, the ancestors had sung about the greatness of the torch dragon.
He opened his eyes as day, closed his eyes as night.
He breathed in and out time, guarding the immortal sacred mountain.
Without a doubt, the greatness of the torch dragon was unfathomable!
But…
As Xiao Man looked at the faintly discernible mountain peak, the fear in her heart grew stronger.
She could clearly feel several terrifying auras at the peak of the Immortal Mountain.
The owner of these auras gave her an inexplicable fear.
Xiao Man could feel every organ in her body trembling just by sensing it from afar.
Even her soul fire was in fear.
Murmurs could be heard in the depths of the sacred mountain: “Heavenly Emperor…”
“Kill!”
“Revenge! Revenge!”
Xiao Man’s eyes went blank, as if she saw a nameless monster roaring in the sacred mountain.
After a closer look, Xiao Man could see it clearly.
It was a strange bird covered in colorful feathers, with three trunks, three long and thick triangular bird toes, and stepping on fresh blood!
“One song and three bodies. It’s shaped like a bird of joy. It’s called a barn owl!” Xiao man exclaimed, “It’s the world-destroying bird, the destruction demon barn owl!”
According to the old legends, the Great Fire Dragon once gave birth to a son.
It was called Gu!
But this son of deity died in the end and was killed by the Heavenly Emperor himself!
According to the legends, the son of deity was killed by the heavenly emperor himself on Mount Zhong because he had committed an unforgivable crime.
After the son of God died, he was filled with resentment and turned into a terrifying demonic bird!
He had one head, three bodies, and three legs.
Every time he was born, he would cause a catastrophe!
Drought, famine, and plague followed him like a shadow!
The ancestors once said that if the demonic bird woke up, the whole world would be destroyed!
At the moment, this terrifying demonic bird had already woken up.
But…
It was firmly imprisoned here by an even stronger and more terrifying strength.
Although Xiao Man could not see the thing that was imprison and suppressing the demonic owl,.
She knew that it was an extremely terrifying thing.
So much so that the demonic owl was suppressed by it until it could not move.
Xiao Man took a deep breath, and then resolutely took a step forward and began to climb the mountain.
Because she knew that all the secrets were probably hidden here.
The Secrets of the Sky Demon..
The Secrets of the Shura..
And the secrets of Mount Zhong!
…
Ling Ping’an smiled and brought the last dish to the table.
Then, he shouted to his aunt who was talking to Zhu Weiwei in the boudoir, “Aunt! Miss Weiwei, it’s time to eat!”
“They’re here, they’re here…” The two beauties walked out the door one after the other.
Upon seeing the table full of delicacies, Li An’an was overjoyed. “So many delicious dishes!”
There were four dishes on the table.
Spicy squid tendril, small stir-fried yellow beef, jade meatball soup, and a big bowl of seaweed and spareribs soup.
The ingredients were all bought from the nearby market.
However, every dish had a good color, aroma, and taste.
More importantly, the current Ling Ping’an was no longer the same as before.
In the past, he might have needed his servants to help him process and marinate.
But now, he could concoct the dishes as he pleased.
Even the simplest ingredients could become a delicacy comparable to dragon meat and phoenix liver in his hands!
For this reason, each of these four dishes was comparable to the most precious thing in the emperor’s banquet.
It was the peach of the Queen Mother of the West, which was also a vegetarian dish on mount numinous.
An ordinary person would probably be stuffed to death with just a whiff.
Only he was able to suppress the spirit aura in these delicacies and turn them into food that even ordinary people could eat.
“It’s a simple meal. I didn’t serve you well enough!” Ling Ping’an smiled and looked at Chu Weiwei.
His still looked a bit confused, which was probably due to the monster’s appearance.
He was actually getting restless.
He had a vague thought in his mind, “If she grows up for a while more, she can give birth to my child!”
This thought flashed past, and even Ling Ping’an didn’t notice it.
However, it unknowingly affected his judgment and perception.
It made him involuntarily beam at Chu Weiwei.
However, Chu Weiwei blushed and quickly said, “You are too polite!”
She knew who the person in front of her was?
Meanwhile, Li An’an watched from the side and secretly nodded, “My nephew has finally opened his eyes?”
…
He followed the Shura and climbed the mountain range.
Xiao man soon realized how steep and difficult Mount Zhong was.
It was not just high and steep.
This Divine Mountain was also emitting a strong binding strength, which caused the soul fire in her body to be completely extinguished and her cultivation to be imprison.
This place was a spirit-imprison land!
It wasn’t just imprisoning the terrifying demon bird.
It was also imprisoning all outsiders.
“I really don’t know how the Torch Dragon came through time and space with the Divine Mountain in his mouth…” Xiao Man sighed.
The mountain path ahead gradually became brighter.
The Asura that was walking on the mountain path gradually lost its evil nature.
“Roar!” The heavenly ghosts that were dragged by her let out a terrifying screech.
When the asura dragged these ghosts to a cliff on the mountainside.
A terrifying screech came from the cliff.
Shura, who was dragging the Sky Ghosts, didn’t utter a word.
He just turned his head to look at Xiao Man and urged her to come closer.
Seeing this, Xiao Man hastened her steps.
When she walked to the cliff, she found an extremely terrifying bronze cauldron on the cliff.
This cauldron was deeply embedded in the mountain.
It firmly fixed the cliff.
Beside the cauldron, there was also a broken stone tablet.
On the stone tablet, there were ancient characters that were emitting divine light.
“Sinful Minister Gu, you have murdered my beloved minister. Your crime is unpardonable. I will personally kill you here. Anyone who dares to release me will be my enemy!” A loud voice came from the stone tablet.
A towering figure seemed to have traveled through time and cast a shadow to this moment.
It was a heavenly emperor with a crown on his head and divine cauldrons around him.
The emperor’s might was vast and unimaginable!
Even after countless years, it was still ancient and modern, making it difficult for people to look directly at it.
There was no doubt that it was the heavenly emperor who dominated the mystical world and commanded the sun, moon, and stars.
In fact, the ruler was also a human emperor!
An ancient legend then appeared in Xiao Man’s heart.
According to the legend, the human emperor of the mountain and Sea World would automatically become the celestial emperor.
He would control the mountains and seas, command the stars, the Sun, and the Moon, and set the laws of Heaven and earth!
Each generation of the human emperor would select several qualified successors in his twilight years, and let them accept the selection of everyone.
Those who received the recognition of most of the Divine Mountains and stars would be the new human emperor.
They would receive the inheritance of the previous human emperor and the nine invaluable cauldrons.
This was called giving in.
It was also called passing on the torch!
And the human emperor walked on the path of heaven and the path of man.
He had unimaginable powers and the blessing of the past human emperors.
He was omnipotent in the mystical world.
Now, the shadow on the cliff proved this legend.
Even if countless years had passed.
Even if the human emperor had long fallen, and even the mountain and sea great world had been shattered.
However, his shadow still had the power to destroy Heaven and earth.
Suddenly, Xiao Man shuddered.
Cauldrons?
She looked at the divine cauldron that was deeply embedded in the mountain.
“This is one of the nine cauldrons, the symbol of the past human emperors?”
To control the nine cauldrons meant to control the path of humanity, as well as the authority of the mountain and sea.
This was because the nine cauldrons would depict mountains, rivers, and seas. The images of monsters and mountain gods was actually a form of control.
Every human emperor would patrol the mountains and seas.
They would make the mountain gods sacrifice their blood to fall into the divine cauldrons.
In this way, the life and death of the mountain gods and he Bo would be in their hands.
Therefore, the nine cauldrons were not only emperor artifacts.
They were also Dao artifacts.
However, there was a divine cauldron here.
The divine cauldron that was discarded by the human emperor and left here.
What was he suppressing?
Was it the Devil Bird?
No!
Xiao Man shook her head.
She knew that if it was just the Devil Bird, the human emperor would not be like this.
There must be something far more terrifying than the devil bird here.
That human emperor had no choice but to leave a divine cauldron here in order to suppress that thing and prevent it from coming into being!
What exactly was it?
Xiao Man took a deep breath.
She tried her best to raise her head and stare at the peak of the mountain. At the same time, she activated the soul fire in her body so that the flames suppressed by the Divine Mountain could gather in her eyes once more.
And so, she saw it!
On the peak of the mountain, there was a shadow.
It seemed to be the shadow of a tree.
The shadow of the tree swayed, casting countless frantic lines.
These lines laughed strangely.
Every one of them seemed to have a rotting head hanging down.
These heads seemed to have discovered that Xiao Man was spying on them, so they turned their heads one by one.
Thick juice flowed out of the already shattered eye sockets.
“Crack… crack… crack…”
Broken Mouths opened one after another.
“Mortal…”
“You dare to spy on Me?”
“I’m the Eternal Tree!”
“The emperor tree planted by the Xuanyuan clan!”
“No matter if it’s heaven, Earth, man, Ghost, or God, they all have to worship me!”
“I’m also the myriad calamity demonic tree!”
“The tree that devours the mountains and seas!”
“That’s a tree of destruction!”
These voices started to make noise in Xiao Man’s ears.
She couldn’t help but tremble.
Even her body started to squirm.
She almost couldn’t help but climb over and climb under that tree, becoming one of the countless heads hanging on the tree.
At this moment, the soul fire in Xiao Man’s eyes suddenly flashed.
A voice sounded in her ear too
“How shameful!”
“The young girl who inherited my mantle!”
“How can you forget the principle that all things are swords?”
