Chapter 212 Entering Purple Mountain [Please Subscribe]

Lu Xian crippled the Supreme Elder of the Li Huo Sect with a single strike. His combat power was terrifying. His ability to defeat a third-level expert of the Dao Palace from the Sea of ​​Wheels shocked everyone.

"My god, Brother Lu's combat power has increased so monstrous since he came out of seclusion!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Fan beside him, who looked slightly astonished, and chuckled, "Ye Hei, after losing twice, do you still have the desire to challenge Brother Lu? I'll be your referee next time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face twitched involuntarily, and he said irritably, "Challenge my ass! What's the point of fighting against a cheater like this?"

In the short time it took for the two of them to talk, Lu Xian moved like lightning and caught up with the Supreme Elder of the Li Huo Sect who had been sent flying backward.

With his martial spirit transformed into a sword, he casually unleashed his second soul skill. The elder of the Li Huo Sect, who had lost an arm, was unable to withstand the blade and was instantly annihilated before he could even let out a scream.

The other cultivators of the Li Huo Sect witnessed this scene and were filled with fear. They dared not linger any longer and scattered in all directions, each flying away in different directions on their rainbows.

In the blink of an eye, only a golden, ownerless bronze furnace remained suspended silently in the sky, with crimson flames continuously overflowing from its opening and tumbling down.

Seeing this, Lu Xian raised his hand and gently beckoned. The bronze furnace, which was a hundred meters tall, seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of a palm and flew into his hand.

The Li Huo Divine Furnace is exquisitely designed, with a golden body and a gleaming lid. Although made of bronze, it is almost transparent like multicolored glass, allowing one to see the blazing fire burning inside.

Having obtained the quasi-emperor artifact, Lu Xian couldn't help but smile. After examining it for a while, he put it into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"Brother Lu!"

At this moment, Ye Fan and Xiao Yan arrived swiftly, riding on rainbow light. They glanced at the fleeing Li Huo Sect cultivators, and Ye Fan asked, "Should we eliminate them completely?"

"They're just small fry, no need to waste time." Lu Xian shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to Ye Fan and asked, "Have you been to Purple Mountain? How far is it from here?"

"At our speed, we can probably reach Yuhong in about half an hour in that direction."

As Ye Fan spoke, he pointed in a direction and then took the initiative to lead the way. During this time, he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the locations of various cultivation sects and several oases in the surrounding area, and he knew the area around Purple Mountain like the back of his hand.

"I've seen that mountain; it's truly extraordinary," Ye Fan continued. "I even spent a night in a stone stronghold in an oasis near the mountain. By helping them wipe out a band of bandits, I gained their favor and learned quite a bit about them."

Lu Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed on, "Isn't there an old man named Master Zhang at that stone stronghold?"

Ye Fan looked surprised: "There really is such a person. His ancestor was a Source Master. Brother Lu, you should know a lot about Source Masters, right?"

"Not bad. Master Yuan can determine the dragon veins based on the mountains and rivers, and can use the stars to lock the divine source. I also know that his ancestor's old lover is also in Zishan."

Lu Xian remained calm, a faint smile playing on his lips. "My purpose in coming to Zishan this time is not only to obtain the Dou Zi Secret of God King Jiang Taixu, but also to obtain the Yuan Tian Book lost by Master Zhang's ancestors. In fact, the Yuan Tian Book is more valuable to me than the Dou Zi Secret."

"Wow~ This looks like it's going to be a huge success!"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up slightly, and Xiao Yan also became excited, feeling that this trip might be very interesting.

"Ye Hei, since you have connections with that Stone Village, that's perfect. Go find Master Zhang later; he has a set of Divine Source Robes. Borrow it; it will give you more protection during your trip to Purple Mountain," Lu Xian said.

Ye Fan asked doubtfully, "Brother Lu, is there still danger inside?"

Lu Xian rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Isn't that obvious? There are some ancient creatures in Purple Mountain, whose strength is even greater than that of ancient sages. They can take your life with a single thought. Moreover, there are many supernatural things in that kind of place, so it's impossible to guard against them. If you don't want to die, do as I say."

After hearing this, Ye Fan nodded silently. It seemed that this journey was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

"Brother Lu, can't you protect us?" Xiao Yan felt a little panicked after hearing Lu Xian's words. "That Divine Source Robe, do you have any extras?"

There should only be one.

Lu Xian shook his head: "Anyway, let's go to Shizhai first. If there aren't any more, Huo Huo, you can go back to your own world first, or stay in Shizhai and wait for us."

"To be honest, unless I take you all into the Tower of Suppression, I'm not very confident in protecting your safety. I can only guarantee that I won't get into trouble myself."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead: "Brother Lu, why don't you go in yourself? I won't go. Anyway, it'll be the same if you get the stuff..."

In Ye Fan's view, the "Dou Zi Secret" and the "Yuan Tian Shu" could both be uploaded to the chat group, and he didn't need to get involved in this mess himself.

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

Lu Xian's eyes were practically overflowing with disdain. "How come your personality is so different from that of Ye Hei, the guy I read about in novels who dares to venture into any place?"

Ye Fan spread his hands with a wry smile: "Brother Lu, do you think it's possible that in the novel I was fighting alone, isolated and helpless, with no choice but to risk my life for cultivation resources, but now I clearly still have the option of hiding my true self..."

Lu Xian was speechless for a moment, unable to respond. What this kid said seemed to make a lot of sense!

"So are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll go in by myself later!" Lu Xian said.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go! Consider it an opportunity to broaden my horizons and gain some experience. But Brother Lu, if things go wrong, remember to take me into the tower first..."

The three chatted as they rode the rainbow light at breakneck speed.

Soon, the outline of a mountain appeared faintly on the horizon ahead. The mountain was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the reddish plain, exuding a mysterious and austere aura.

Before long, the three rainbow lights stopped in front of the purple mountain. The area around the purple mountain was barren, without a trace of green, showing a desolate state.

Standing high in the sky, they gazed into the distance and saw a small oasis hundreds of miles away, like a green gem dotting the crimson earth.

In the oasis, a village built of stones stands out, which must be the stone village where Master Zhang Wu lives.

As planned on the way, Ye Fan and Xiao Yan flew towards the stone village to borrow the Divine Source Robe, while Lu Xian stayed above Purple Mountain to explore the surrounding area.

"In the stone village, I remember there were quite a few raw materials disguised as everyday tools..."

Lu Xian gazed at the distant stone fortress, pondered for a moment, and then thought to himself, "Forget it, I should go find the Source Book first. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell which stones contain the Source. Cutting them rashly would be too wasteful."

Lu Xian turned his gaze to the area around Zishan Mountain, carefully observing the terrain. He remembered that he had to enter from the dragon vein in the due east direction to see the unique terrain of the nine dragons guarding the pearl.

Because the Zhang family ancestor entered through this road a thousand years ago, and Ye Fan also took this road in the original story, following the original story will make it less likely to go wrong.

Soon, Lu Xian rode the rainbow light to the top of the East Dragon Vein. He circled in the air, searching patiently. Before long, an ancient mine came into view.

"This mine shaft should be the entrance!"

Lu Xian was overjoyed. He stopped the rainbow in the sky and began to wait quietly.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a golden rainbow streaked towards us from afar like a shooting star.

Ye Fan's current appearance is quite unique. He is wearing a tattered stone robe, a stone hat, a star chart on his back, a stone knife in his hand, and a stone pendant hanging from his waist. This fully armed appearance made Lu Xian unable to help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Ready?" Lu Xian asked calmly.

Let's go!

Ye Fan took a deep breath, calming down a little bit of his nervousness.

Two streaks of light descended straight into the deep ancient mine. The mine was very deep, and the two of them fell a full three thousand meters before reaching the bottom.

The pitch-black ancient mine, carved out hundreds of thousands of years ago, is filled with the aura of time, and is extremely quiet here.

At such a depth, the temperature should be higher, but it felt rather cold and eerie, as if invisible eyes were watching them from the darkness, sending chills down their spines.

The Suppressing God Pagoda burst forth from Lu Xian's Sea of ​​Bitterness, spinning rapidly in his palm and radiating brilliant light, illuminating a deep, ancient path.

As the light reached, the moss and ancient carvings on the walls gradually became clear, as if telling stories of forgotten history.

"Stay behind me, and don't fall behind!"

Lu Xian's expression also became a little serious at this moment. He earnestly gave Ye Fan some instructions. His serious expression made Ye Fan's already tense nerves even more nervous.

Having known Lu Xian for so long, Ye Fan had always seen him as confident and composed, as if nothing in the world could stump him. This was the first time he had ever seen him with such a solemn expression.

This is enough to show that this place is really extraordinary.

Ye Fan nodded subconsciously and followed closely behind Lu Xian, only one or two steps behind.

Two streaks of light, one white and one gold, moved swiftly along the ancient path. Before long, they heard the sound of a creature flapping its wings ahead. Ye Fan was about to warn them when he saw that Lu Xian showed no intention of stopping. Instead, he sped up, and a gleaming sword appeared in his hand.

"Splash!"

With a piercing whooshing sound, a two-meter-tall humanoid creature with fleshy wings flapped its wings and charged from the passage ahead. Its silhouette was indistinct in the darkness, and at first glance it looked like a giant bat. Its ferocious face looked particularly terrifying in the dim light.

However, before Ye Fan could get a clear look at the monster's appearance, an extremely dazzling sword light flashed like lightning, instantly tearing through the darkness.

Before the monster could even let out a roar, it was cleanly and neatly split in two, its warm blood splattering onto the walls of the ancient road.

Two streaks of light, one white and one gold, rushed past without pause.

"Brother Lu, in a place like this, why don't we just walk?" Ye Fan had a feeling that it was too risky for them to be riding the rainbow and charging recklessly in this dangerous place. If they encountered some powerful unknown creature, such as some ancient race, they probably wouldn't even have time to react.

"Don't worry, they're just small fry for now. I'll stop if there's any danger. Just stick close to me," Lu Xian replied calmly.

The two advanced quickly. Before they could exchange more than a few words, hundreds of bats similar to the ones they had seen before appeared ahead. There was even a Demon Bat King with a wingspan of ten meters. However, although it looked scary, it was not strong and was easily beheaded by Lu Xian with a single sword strike.

The two continued their journey on the rainbow, flying over the eerie road of ashes, encountering countless ghosts blocking their way, and passing through the perilous Tai Chi Twins' Yin-Yang Eyes. Under Lu Xian's guidance, they ultimately escaped danger without incident.

It took about half an hour for Lu Xian and Ye Fan to finally reach the end of the dragon vein. Lu Xian raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful force surged out, easily breaking through the stone wall of Purple Mountain.

With a burst of stone chips flying, they officially entered the interior of Purple Mountain and stepped into a palace entirely carved from jade.

"The road ahead may not be so easy. There are ancient creatures sleeping in here, so we need to be careful for now and not make too much noise before we achieve our purpose."

Lu Xian dared not ride the rainbow again, but landed on the ground of the palace and concealed his aura. Ye Fan followed suit.

"Temporarily?" Ye Fan discovered the blind spot.

Lu Xian smiled faintly: "Why do you think I'm being so cautious? It's because I'm afraid of doing anything reckless. You're right here. If I were alone, after I got the Dou Zi Secret and the Yuan Tian Book, I would just activate my invincibility and rush in. The Zhen Shen Tower would just randomly absorb everything. What divine source, what ancient royal family sealed in the divine source, all of that would be mine!"

Ye Fan: ...

six!

The two continued forward stealthily, and soon discovered a line of ancient characters on the stone wall.

—The God King Jiang Taixu mistakenly entered the Demon Mountain and decided to find out what was going on!

The further you go, the more ancient characters you find.

—A reclusive cultivator, Gu Tianshu, left this message while exploring the Demon Mountain!

—Yang Yi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, seeks Zhang Lin and leaves this message before entering Demon Mountain!

As they continued their journey, Lu Xian and his companion saw at least thirty or forty people who had left their names.

On a whim, Lu Xian also drew his sword and inscribed a word in a conspicuous spot on the stone wall.

—Lu Xian, the Immortal King of Abstraction and leader of the Great Love Immortal Alliance, was here!

Seeing this, Ye Fan also left a message below Lu Xian's words.

—Ye Fan, the Ancient Holy Body Emperor, visited here!

After leaving the message, the two began to explore their surroundings.

Inside Zishan Mountain, a misty purple glow flows, not so dim as to give a hazy feeling. There are countless irregular caves inside, making it easy to get lost.

This is also why Lu Xian brought Ye Fan in; who knows, maybe being a chosen one of destiny would provide some kind of advantage?

Even if you get lost, you can find your way out. But if he were to come in on his own, he might only be able to get out using a time-travel talisman.

"Brother Lu, no offense..." Ye Fan glanced around and complained, "This god-king Jiang Taixu, where are we supposed to find him?"

"I don't know either. All I know is that Jiang Taixu was sealed inside a stone wall in Zishan Mountain..." Lu Xian shrugged.

"I'm here..."
