The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 84: Heart Strength? (Second update!)

"Is this the tomb where the gods and demons who died in the ancient war are buried?"

Lei Zhan stood above Baimu Mountain and looked down into the distance. The mountain range stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. Everywhere he looked, there were vibrant exotic flowers and plants growing vigorously. Many of them even had intelligence.

If they were not born as plants and trees due to their innate limitations, these flowers and plants with intelligence could even occupy a place in the Daxia world and could be called "great monsters".

"Daoist Fellow Kucao and Daoist Fellow Lancao once said that the corpses of gods and demons buried in this Hundred Tombs Mountain are mostly in the back mountain, followed by some scattered and random buried bodies. If I want to look for opportunities, I also suggest that the back mountain is the most suitable place." Lei Zhan thought to himself.

At the banquet a day ago, both the host and the guests were having a great time, so naturally the topic of conversation inevitably extended to the Hundred Tombs Mountain itself.

The Hundred Tombs Mountain is very large. The entire mountain range stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, and the highest point is tens of thousands of miles high, so the number of gods and demons buried there is almost countless.

Among the entire Hundred Tombs Mountain, the back mountain is where the most gods and demons are buried.

Lei Zhan stood on a high place and had a panoramic view of the entire Baimu Mountain. However, because Baimu Mountain was too huge, a section of the mountain behind it extended into the high-altitude clouds and became hazy under the cover of fog.

"Then let's go to the back mountain first."

Lei Zhan's mind moved, and he suddenly turned into a ray of light. In just a moment, he arrived above a huge hillside that was not facing the sun.

Standing high in the sky, he suddenly felt a little bit of palpitations. Lei Zhan vaguely felt that this undulating mountain range was surrounded by an inexplicable danger.

"Hmm? Is this mountain range a threat to me? Aren't they all filled with corpses whose souls and true spirits have long been annihilated? Besides, those plant spirits growing in the back mountains don't seem to be unusual either."

Lei Zhan looked down from afar and shook his head slightly, "However, if the situation is not right, I will immediately hide in my portable immortal residence and then immediately crush the Great Teleportation Talisman!"

With a thought in his mind, Lei Zhan flew downwards. In that instant, he completed the replacement between his original soul and his second soul.

If one really encounters danger, it is naturally the second soul of the god or demon who has reached the late stage of returning to the void, which has a stronger ability to save his life.

Wow.

When Lei Zhan stepped on this undulating mountain range, he immediately felt the uniqueness of this mountain range.

"kill……"

"kill……"

"kill……"

"Huh?" Leizhan was stunned.

This is?

As soon as it fell, Leizhan could feel it faintly.

Waves of invisible roars came from the rocks and soil beneath their feet, as if in the endless past of this mountain range, a series of brutal battles had taken place, and even now the murderous intent lingered for a long time.

"I'm afraid these murderous thoughts emanating from the soil and rocks are emitted by the bodies of those dead gods and demons." Lei Zhan nodded gently, "I just don't know which faction the gods and demons buried here belong to."

In ancient times, there were many wars. In addition to the powerful overlords fighting each other, there were also many foreign races who accidentally broke into the Three Realms.

All of those alien races are powerful, and even among the cave magic weapons they carry with them are a large number of practitioners.

Needless to say, I suddenly discovered an ownerless chaotic world where no world realm existed.

You must know that the most valuable thing in a chaotic world is the heart of the world. Therefore, fighting with foreign races will break out again and again.

Moreover, there was the war of destruction that caused the destruction of the ancient Pangu world, and countless immortals and demons died at that time.

Even the ancient Pangu world and the endless chaotic world collided with each other, forming the three realms of today!

"However, no matter which side they are from, now that they are dead and gone, the threat they can pose to me should be very small." Lei Zhan smiled slightly and immediately walked on the mountain range where countless gods and demons were buried.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Die—"

"Death! Die..."

Lei Zhan walked on this land. The deeper he went, the more terrifying he felt the murderous intent. He could even feel an invisible force completely enveloping his consciousness.

When using spiritual sense to investigate, what you see is completely different from what you see with your naked eyes.

You should know that whether it is Leizhan's second soul or his original body, both have cultivated the top magical power "Eye of Candle Dragon" ranked among the top 100 in the Three Realms. His eyes are so sharp.

"These gods and demons have been dead for countless years, yet the murderous intent they emanate can actually affect my divine sense! My divine sense has been completely blinded, and everything I detect is fake!"

Lei Zhan carefully identified it and even touched the rocks and flowers with his hands to confirm the difference between the detection of the naked eye and the detection of spiritual consciousness, before he confirmed it.

In the back mountain of the Hundred Tombs Mountain, what you see with your naked eyes is the most real.

time flies.

Like ripples on the surface of water, the closer one got to the center of the ripples, the deeper they went, the more terrifying that invisible killing intent became. Even the increasingly powerful sense of oppression made Lei Zhan's soul sense the immense pressure and threat.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Lei Zhan was walking on the mountain. Under the tremendous pressure, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"The murderous intent in this mountain range is getting stronger and stronger. And the opportunity that Fellow Daoist Kucao mentioned..." Lei Zhan finally stopped.

He had already walked a very long way, and the ground beneath his feet was still a riot of colour, with flowers and plants everywhere. However, the murderous intent in the soil could be seen with the naked eye, almost turning into substance.

"However, although I didn't find the opportunity, my heart has become stronger and stronger due to this murderous intent."

Lei Zhan had a vague feeling that if he stayed in this land filled with murderous thoughts for a while longer, it would be of great benefit to him!

"Leizhan, your guess is correct!"

The voice of the yellow-haired bear suddenly came through, "The gods and demons buried here are very likely the ones who died in the last war my master, Taoist Sanshou, participated in. However, they were probably the defeated party!"

"Oh?" Leizhan had a hint of doubt on his face. "Are you sure?"

"In that final battle of the ancient destruction, we should have been victorious. Afterward, any bodies left behind usually had friends, family, or even descendants, so they wouldn't just be buried randomly in this Hundred Tombs Mountain. Only the defeated side would be buried here. It's called a 'Hundred Tombs,' but in reality, it's just a 'mass grave' of countless defeated gods and demons!"

"Hmm? Mass grave?" Lei Zhan pondered, frantically piecing together the fragmented information he knew in his mind.

"If it's a mass grave... then it's most likely those alien races, or even the 'demons' of the Wuxian Sect. No wonder after billions of years, the entire Hundred Graves Mountain naturally belongs to the Wuxian Sect camp."

"Although we haven't heard whether those 'demons' of the Wuxian Sect have returned to the Three Realms, there is no doubt that the plant spirits that grew from the corpses of the powerful men who died in the Wuxian Sect naturally tend to be on the side of the Wuxian Sect."

There was too little information, and much of it was difficult for Lei Zhan to access. After all, a cultivator at the Return to Void level who had just emerged from the Great Xia World would hardly have the opportunity to access such information, so everything could only be guessed.

"However, no matter which faction these corpses of gods and demons belong to, even the remains will be of great benefit to you," the yellow-haired bear said leisurely. "The murderous intent in this Ten Thousand Demon Cemetery is naturally a good place to sharpen your Dao heart. If you have enough opportunity, you may be able to comprehend the power of the mind here!"

"Mental strength?" Lei Zhan's heart moved, as if he was enlightened, and he suddenly realized the great benefits to himself in the dark!

"Mental strength..." There was suddenly a bright light in Leizhan's eyes.

Although he has no method to cultivate mental power, it does not mean that he cannot cultivate mental power.

For example, Master Ju Huaxianren, didn't he also know nothing about mind power at first? Now his mind power has reached the second level of Bingxin!
If it is really as what the Yellow-haired Big Bear said, then he is very likely to have gained mental strength from the countless killing thoughts of gods and demons in the Hundred Tombs Mountain!

"By then, I will also be able to practice the secret technique of divine consciousness and the flying knife that slays immortals!" Lei Zhan thought secretly in his heart.

……

In the Hundred Graves Mountain, in the huge canyon, palaces stretch out one after another.

"Sister." A voice came from outside the hall.

"Come in just now!" The withered grass fairy sitting in front of the table looked over, but in the blink of an eye, the beautiful woman in the purple dress walked up to her.

"What's the matter?" Fairy Kucao asked calmly.

"Sister Kucao, the immortal Leizhan you brought back has almost walked all over the back mountain since the banquet that day, and he hasn't stopped yet."

The beautiful woman in purple said in a tender voice, "Many sisters who haven't yet transformed are being bothered and begging you to talk to me!"

"Hmm? Fellow Daoist Leizhan?" A hint of smile suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Fairy Kucao.

"Yes, that's the Leizhan Immortal!" the beautiful woman in purple said, "He's been in the back mountain for several days, but he hasn't caused any trouble."

"I understand." Fairy Kucao waved her hand, "Don't worry about this matter."

"This... is it!" The woman in purple nodded and then left obediently.

Peace returned to the hall again.

Fairy Kucao sipped her tea and shook her head helplessly, "Didn't Daoist Leizhan previously modestly claim to be blessed with great fortune and good luck? And yet, for three days straight, he hasn't managed to resonate with a single god or demon in the back mountains?"

"However..." Fairy Kucao whispered to herself, "According to that senior, the gods and demons buried in the back mountain are all weak."

"My own Dao heart and even my obsession are very weak. Unless I meet someone who is extremely compatible with me, it is not easy to resonate with them."

"Let's take a look first. If that doesn't work, I'll take Fellow Daoist Leizhan there..." Fairy Kucao pondered. Although the bodies of gods and demons within the Hundred Graves Mountain were buried haphazardly, there were still strong and weak ones.

The weaker ones, like those in the back mountain, have such weak faith and obsession with the Tao that they have become almost undetectable after being eroded by endless years.

But at the same time, there are naturally corpses of powerful gods and demons buried there. Even after endless years have passed, the indomitable will to fight against heaven and earth is still as fresh as ever!
