Chapter 267 Rainbow Bridge Teleportation, Fragments of the Immortal Realm

The moment the immortal mountain solidified, a silent wave swept across the sea area spanning thousands of miles.

Inside and outside the city, all the cultivators and immortals who were engaged in battle suddenly raised their heads and stared intently at the immortal mountain in mid-air.

A series of barely suppressed gasps rang out:

"A sacred mountain! It's a sacred mountain!"

"A sacred mountain has appeared; has the spiritual energy finally begun to recover?"

Amid the gasps of alarm, screams of agony also rang out.

Ahhhhh!
Those immortals or cultivators who were distracted suddenly fell victim to the machinations of their enemies, suffering either serious injuries or death.

Within fifteen minutes of the opening of the Immortal Mountain Cave, an unprecedented battle erupted on the scene.

The stench of blood on the sea grew stronger, and the rainbow bridge that flew down from the immortal mountain grew ever wider.

Such a sight caught the attention of those who were interested, and they all realized that the appearance and opening of the sacred mountain was inextricably linked to the massive war that was taking place today.

Yu Que looked up, his eyes filled with understanding.

"Indeed, this immortal mountain was only able to be opened by sacrificing blood to a group of immortal cultivators."

He glanced at the massive and wondrous magical artifacts and treasures of the Ten Directions Immortal Sect, and then at the several magnificent warships on True Monarch Island, thinking to himself that these guys were truly ruthless and heartless.

Buzz!

During the great battle, some people braved the attacks from all sides and rushed to the location of the Rainbow Bridge on the Immortal Mountain.

The other party's aura was weak, but his face was full of joy. He was about to slip into the rainbow bridge and step into the interior of the immortal mountain.

But immediately, a white light flashed, and the person's figure turned into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing on the spot without even being able to scream.

The other immortals or cultivators who were very close to the Rainbow Bridge all stopped in their tracks, their expressions solemn.

At first, they thought there was something unusual about the immortal mountain that prevented them from entering directly. However, after looking around, they realized that the white light was emanating from the magical artifacts and treasures of the Ten Directions Immortal Sect, and that it was emitted jointly by several major immortal sects.

"There is something amiss at the Immortal Mountain. Fellow Daoists, please retreat immediately. It will not be too late to enter after our Ten Great Immortal Sects have inspected it."

Ling Yunzi and the others abandoned the battlefield and gathered in front of the Rainbow Bridge.

Not only them, but the remaining warships of Zhenjun Island also formed a formation and rushed straight towards the Rainbow Bridge, eventually forming a confrontation scene with the ten immortal sects from the east and west.

Upon seeing this, the Daoist immortals and scattered cultivators gathered around the Rainbow Bridge all abandoned their thoughts of rushing to escape into the immortal mountain first.

They cursed under their breath, but obediently stepped back, giving the space completely to the Immortal Sect and True Monarch Island.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yu Que quietly stepped forward and hid himself in the nearby crowd.

He put away the Rakshasa flagship, but remained alert. Once someone from the Immortal Sect or True Monarch Island successfully entered the Immortal Mountain, he would rely on the power of the flagship to seize the initiative.

Just then, the Ten Directions Immortal Sect and True Monarch Island communicated through divine sense and seemed to quickly come up with a plan.

Each of them launched a ship, filled with cultivators or immortals, one flying from west to east and the other from east to west toward the Rainbow Bridge.

Everyone was watching this scene intently, waiting for the two scout ships to successfully fly into the sacred mountain so they could quickly enter.

But then a miraculous thing happened.

After the two ships were bathed in the crimson aura, they came to a standstill, as if space had been frozen, and there was complete silence on the ships.

Because of the red light, the people couldn't see the situation on the ship clearly.

After the Immortal Sect and True Monarch Island had stirred up trouble, they sent out troops again to probe the situation. However, this time, there were far fewer people on the ships, and most of them were servants and Dao soldiers.

After the two new ships disappeared into the red light, they too remained motionless, frozen in place.

This time, both the Immortal Sect and True Monarch Island were prepared, with two long chains hanging from the ship inside the red light early on.

Once it was confirmed that both ships were stationary, the ship outside the red light immediately moved, towing the two ships back.

Everyone witnessed the two ships leaving the red light.

Everyone immediately noticed that all the items on the ship were intact, but the people standing on the ship had disappeared.

As soon as Yu Que's thoughts stirred, he immediately recalled the situation when he entered the Nine Dragon Waterfall Secret Realm:

"Could it be that the entrance to this immortal mountain, like the Nine Dragon Waterfall and other secret realms, is a random teleportation system, and only one person can enter at a time?"

A commotion arose near the Rainbow Bridge, and the Immortal Sect and True Monarch Island immediately dispatched scattered individuals to ascend the bridge.

Thus, in everyone's sight, those who approached the Rainbow Bridge all transformed into streaks of red light, flowing upstream and merging into the rich crimson glow.

Now everyone realized that their plan to overwhelm the sacred mountain with a massive army had completely failed.

Whether it was the Ten Directions Immortal Sect or the True Monarch Island, everyone looked embarrassed.

However, scattered cultivators and immortals such as Yu Que showed surprise in their eyes.

"Excellent! Since only one person can enter at a time, then within the immortal mountain, it will all depend on fate!"

In addition, some observant people noticed...

After the four ships and the group of scouting cultivators and immortals departed, the wide rainbow bridge shrank considerably, and the crimson light emanating from it also faded somewhat.

"quiet!"

At this moment, the disciples of the Ten Directions Immortal Sect and Tian Cejun and others no longer waited. They all used their abilities to intimidate the scene, and then ignored the others around them and jumped into the rainbow bridge leading into the mountain.

"All members of Lingbao Pavilion, listen to my command! Enter the Immortal Mountain immediately and use your own methods!"

"Heavenly Army, heed my command! Follow me into the mountains for battle!"

By the time everyone realized what had happened, dozens of figures had already completely disappeared from the Rainbow Bridge, leaping away into the distance.

After a few moments of silence, chaos erupted.

Whether they were disciples of the Immortal Sect or soldiers of True Monarch Island, they all rushed forward, crowding towards the Rainbow Bridge.

Yu Que landed among them without a second thought. He urged the Rakshasa boat forward, and once they reached the Rainbow Bridge, he flicked his sleeve, and all the Huangshan disciples and Rakshasa people on the Rakshasa boat appeared in mid-air.

He transmitted his voice to everyone: "Those who wish to enter the mountain, go into the mountain; those who do not wish to enter the mountain, leave quickly."

After speaking, Yu Que simply nodded to Gong Dongxue and the Rakshasa Princess, who both looked surprised and suspicious, and then flew towards the Rainbow Bridge without looking back.

Since he couldn't take a boat or form an array once he entered the immortal mountain, and his subordinates were useless, he naturally had to release everyone and shrink the Rakshasa-headed ship to keep it in his hands.

Otherwise, he would lose this item. As for what Gong Dongxue and the others would choose next, that was not Yu Que's concern. His immediate priority was to follow closely behind Ling Yunzi and the others and quickly enter the immortal mountain.

Several groups of people had already entered before him, and if he were to arrive any later, he might completely lose the initiative.

Buzz!
As Yu Que stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge, a similar feeling of dizziness immediately arose.

He sensed a crimson aura enveloping his entire body, which quickly pulled him to the end of the rainbow bridge.

Yu Que, like a small flying insect, crashed into a vast painting.

........................

I don't know how much time has passed; it could be just a breath, a moment, or several days.

When Yu Que regained consciousness, he found himself atop a broken stone pillar, surrounded by a wondrous ruin.

This area is of unknown height and length, but it is filled with layers upon layers of buildings.

The vast majority of them were completely destroyed, but a few could still be identified as pavilions, towers, palaces and houses.

At the end of these ruins, a fierce storm loomed before Yu Que's eyes, obscuring what lay at the highest point.

However, based on the size of each layer of ruins, the area is roughly mountain-shaped, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, and the end of the storm is very likely the mountaintop.

"Is this the legendary fairy mountain and ghost island?"

Yu Que thought to himself, "Whether the Immortal Mountain Talisman is true or not, I don't know yet, but the name Ghost Island is quite apt."

With a whoosh, he immediately cast a spell, adding layers of protective magic to his body.

Two guardian deities also rushed out and stood guard on his left and right.

Even after that, Yu Que still felt it was inappropriate, so he took out the Rakshasa-headed ship that he had just put away, intending to enlarge it for use as cover.

However, to his surprise, once the Rakshasa-headed ship was taken out, it seemed to break down in his hands. No matter how much spiritual energy he poured into it, and no matter how much spiritual light flashed on the ship's hull, its size remained unchanged.

This made Yu Que sigh: "It seems that not only is entry here a random teleportation, but the magical artifacts that enter are also restricted. Large magical artifacts like the Rakshasa Head Ship must have their power sealed."

Such a mysterious method was beyond his comprehension, and he did not know what kind of restriction or magic it was achieved through.

But at the same time, Yu Que's eyes flashed, and he was certain in his heart: "It seems that this immortal mountain is indeed left by our predecessors!"

If it weren't left by our predecessors, this place would never be like it is now, with deliberate restrictions on how outsiders can enter, and on the scale of magical artifacts and treasures.

Realizing this, Yu Que became even more eager for what he could gain here.

He successfully obtained the immortal's inheritance back in the Nine Dragons Waterfall Secret Realm, and the current Past Immortal Mountain Secret Realm is undoubtedly a much larger place than the Nine Dragons Waterfall Secret Realm.

If he has a bit more luck here, he might be able to obtain another immortal's inheritance, or even the legendary Heavenly Immortal's inheritance, and perhaps get a glimpse of its secrets!
Overwhelmed with emotion, Yu Que immediately flew towards the ruins at the top.

If we're talking about where the possibility of inheritance is greater, it's undoubtedly closer to the upper ruins.

However, just as Yu Que was wielding the Avici Demon Pearl and taking to the air, less than ten feet away, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately stopped.

Standing still in mid-air, he summoned a ghost soldier from his sleeve and sent it floating upwards.

A series of crackling sounds, like the crackling of thunder, suddenly rang out.

The ghost soldier seemed to have crashed into a net woven by lightning, and immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke.

Yu Que frowned and immediately changed locations, releasing ghost soldiers to test the waters. The result was the same everywhere else; the sky was filled with restrictions.

Anyone who attempts to cross will be struck by lightning.

During this time, Yu Que even took out a broken talisman and used it to protect a ghost soldier as he went forward. However, this caused a thunderstorm-like scene on the spot, with countless electric snakes striking down. In less than ten breaths, the broken talisman was worn away.

Seeing this, Yu Que could only sigh: "It seems there are many restrictions in this immortal mountain; we must not act recklessly."

He looked around and began searching for a passage to the next level of ruins.

Suddenly, Yu Que caught a glimpse of a phantom several dozen miles to his left. It vaguely looked like a broken pillar lying between the upper and lower layers of ruins.

He immediately ran towards the pillar.

When Yu Que rushed to the pillar, he saw that it was made up of a series of stepped fragments and gray jade railings scattered in mid-air, which formed the "pillar" he saw.

Yu Que carefully stepped on the broken steps, and had the ghost soldiers scout ahead for him.

Sure enough, he did not sense any danger while he was ten zhang in the air.

So he continued to climb, one zhang at a time, for a full quarter of an hour before finally entering the second level of ruins.

The ruins on the second level are somewhat different from those on the first level.

The most obvious example is that as soon as Yu Que entered the second level, he sensed wisps of spiritual energy, the concentration of which was comparable to that of Lotus Peak.

This surprised him: "Spiritual energy!"

He immediately released his divine sense, which spread in all directions. He even discovered a place nearby where spiritual energy naturally converged. If he cultivated there, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort!
Yu Que couldn't help but step forward, sit cross-legged, and properly inhale and exhale the spiritual energy floating in the air. He even released all the divine generals and ghost soldiers from his pouch.

Even so, after he and his soldiers sang together for a while, the concentration of spiritual energy around them did not decrease.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred mountain; even on the second level, the spiritual energy seems inexhaustible.

Even so, Yu Que still stopped his cultivation in time.

After adjusting himself to his best condition, he stood up and gazed intently at the second level of the immortal mountain, trying to find the staircase leading to the third level.

Next, Yu Que spent some time and finally found a stepping stone to the next level.

Perhaps because he arrived early, he still did not encounter any other immortals or cultivators.

It wasn't until Yu Que climbed higher and higher, reaching the sixth level of the Immortal Mountain, that he encountered the others. But as soon as they appeared, they triggered some kind of restriction in the ruins, causing a black mist to rise up and turn their entire bodies into pus.

Yu Que originally wanted to avoid this at all costs.

But when he looked closely, he discovered that the black mist that killed the man was a malevolent aura, and its nature was sinister.

Although Yu Que did not know what kind of evil energy this black mist was, he looked around the sixth level of the immortal mountain, especially at those areas filled with mist.

Soon, after some exploration, he discovered that there was a large amount of malevolent energy on the sixth floor!

Moreover, the malevolent energy emanating from this place is of pure and rich quality, clearly indicating that it is something that has been accumulated over many years, and is incomparable to malevolent energy from the outside world.

Yu Que's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that his third source of killing intent had been found!
