Saint Dragon Peak
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Outside of Saint Dragon Peak.
Cheng Cheng, along with Ying Li Ye Ling a group of elite Demon Race, stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the sky.
Before such a massive mountain, even a monster known for its size would be nothing more than a speck of dust.
An ancient and vast aura faintly emanated from the mountains, causing the Demon Power of all the demons to surge and gather into a persistent demonic cloud.
This is not a mountain peak. Like the Kun Peng Demon City, this entire mountain is a Dragon Bone that has evolved over tens of thousands of years. This mountain can serve as another Sacred Land, where an entire race can thrive.
It was simply sealed off, almost completely isolated from the outside world.
If people on the ground were to come here, they might not even be able to see this mountain. Those cultivators who could see it would feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the mountain and dare not venture there lightly.
Such a large mountain cannot be explored in just one or two days. Cheng Cheng directly set up a carriage outside the mountain, with a canopy covering the top and a soft couch inside, where she leaned back and waited for news from her subordinates.
He appeared relaxed, but in reality, he was projecting his Divine Sense outward to sense the condition of the mountain.
Previously, Tai Puzi was unable to enter this place and left disappointed. It was similar for the monsters; they looked around and saw that this was a mountain without even a cave. They knew that it contained endless wonders, but they couldn't find the entrance.
Ying Li had tried to blast it earlier, but he couldn't even create a mud pit. Instead, he was severely injured by the recoil, like a child throwing a punch at a boulder...
Cheng Cheng vaguely knew that this was the Taiqing Domain, and no one, let alone Ying Li, could move it unless they knew how to get in.
As she was sensing something, a small snake crawled onto her bed and lay limply to one side, motionless.
Cheng Cheng slapped the snake down, hitting it squarely in the waist. The snake's head and tail bounced up and then drooped down, bouncing several times on the couch with a "thump, thump".
Cheng Cheng was both amused and exasperated. "You've made considerable progress in cultivating the inscriptions on the Saint's Remains Inscription, and the bloodline of the Vegetable Snake is becoming increasingly diluted. Your body is so hard that even I can't budge it anymore. Why are you still so lazy? There are more and more divine Divine Beast Bloodline in the city now. If you continue like this, you won't even be able to remain the Young Master."
Ye Ling muttered, "Fine, I won't do it... As long as the Sand Sculpture keep following me, that's fine."
Cheng Cheng said, "Something's not right. You seemed quite energetic the past few days, but something's not right today."
Ye Ling said, "This is Dragon Vein, and I have a little bit of Blood Flood Dragon blood in my body... It seems to be afraid."
Cheng Cheng laughed and said, "The Blood Flood Dragon shouldn't be blamed for this. Aren't you afraid if you don't have that bloodline?"
"Uh, it's different..." Ye Ling said, "Master, I can sense a strong resentment in this mountain. It's very likely that it contains not only the spirits of the past saints, but countless powerful vengeful spirits. We'd better leave this place; it's too dangerous."
Cheng Cheng was stunned. Ye Ling rarely spoke so seriously. Although the root cause was still cowardice... but this was a cowardice with reason and evidence!
She knows the characteristics of each of her demons very well, so if Ye Ling says this, it's very likely that she really has a feeling about it.
After thinking for a while, she had no choice but to say, "Your brother has come out of seclusion. Let him come and take a look before making a decision."
Ye Ling jumped up immediately. "Why didn't you tell me that brother had come out of seclusion?"
"None of your business?"
"..."
Ye Ling forced herself to say, "Brother will definitely be very interested in this place and will come as soon as possible."
Cheng Cheng blushed slightly. "He has more important things to do."
Ye Ling said, "How important? Is it as important as kissing a fox spirit?"
"Whoosh!" A snake was thrown out of the carriage and hung on a treetop, swaying back and forth.
Ying Li approached and asked, "Your Majesty, we have searched every inch of the mountain but have not found the seal. Should we go above ground and look down from there?"
"Wait a moment." Cheng Cheng smiled brightly. "He has already finished his seclusion and will be here soon."
Ying Li breathed a sigh of relief, stepped aside, and felt more confident.
Qin Yi truly instilled a great deal of confidence in the Demon Race. The most difficult part of the early stages of development—the ancient runes that resembled Heavenly Book scriptures and the various unknown restrictions—were all deciphered by him. Celestial Person was truly a scholar of unparalleled learning.
Without Qin Yi, the development of this rift valley would have taken the Demon Race thousands of years to slowly make progress. Just when they finally made some progress, their leader would be inexplicably taken away by the Heavenly Being, forcing them to start all over again. It would be a perfect cycle, forever turning the valley into a pigsty.
Later on, it seemed like Qin Yi wasn't needed, but whenever any problem arose, all the monsters' first reaction was to go to Qin Yi.
Ying Li strongly suspected that if Qin Yi couldn't solve it, then even finding a powerful figure in the human cultivation world might not be able to solve it.
His youthful gaze seemed to pierce through the mists of tens of thousands of years.
If Ying Li was so eager, the other monsters were naturally the same. Everyone looked westward, waiting for Qin Yi to appear.
Not long after, Qin Yi, accompanied by Cheng Cheng in her Human Form Cheng Cheng, slowly flew over. Both of their faces were slightly flushed, clearly indicating that they had just been intimate. The demons, however, ignored them and instead bowed, saying, "Master, you have emerged from seclusion and made another breakthrough in your cultivation. Congratulations!"
"Ahem." Qin Yi coughed twice, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the monsters' attitude.
These monsters are really funny. Before, I helped them so much, and while I respected them, it was just polite formalities. But after causing a ruckus in the demon court and beating up a bunch of monsters, they all became subservient, even bowing and scraping to each other...
He truly exemplifies the principle of fearing authority without appreciating virtue.
Among those paying their respects is the tiger that I knocked away earlier... but I don't see any Wolf Demon or wolf Bei Demon. I don't know if they've been marginalized by Cheng Cheng or if they're not strong enough to set foot on Saint Dragon Peak.
He paid little attention to the monsters, his mind was completely absorbed by the massive mountain.
It turned out to be a divine dragon in disguise... Its ancient and vast power was no less than that of the Kunpeng.
The divine dragon of the Creation Realm...
Just how terrifying was the war between the gods and immortals back then? This is practically Ragnarok, and the rift valley is clearly the tomb of the gods.
Liusu's voice rang out. "The seal here was not placed after the Demon Calamity; it was placed by my old rival himself. It cannot be broken, nor dared to be broken, otherwise it would surely be discovered."
Qin Yi asked, "What about the possible fragments inside?"
"There is a way to get in, because the seal deliberately left a passage," Liusu said calmly. "But the reason it left the passage is definitely not for good reasons. It must be the place with the strongest resentment. If you go in, you will either be killed by the vengeful spirits or be overwhelmed by their resentment and filled with the fire of revenge."
Qin Yi suddenly realized. "The Demon Calamity originated from this place. Ten thousand years ago, a great demon leader who broke the seal entered this place and began to take revenge on humans after he came out."
"It's possible. There must be a trigger for the so-called Demon Calamity," Liusu said calmly. "It's very likely that this was originally a two-birds-with-one-stone plan to weaken Demon Race and humans at the same time."
A chill ran through Qin Yi: "Your old rival is so cunning and vicious, what kind of immortality did you cultivate!"
"A grand ambition. Everything else is just a minor detail... The evaluation of good and evil is too simplistic and doesn't apply to many levels." Liusu said simply, without further explanation.
"..." Qin Yi almost forgot that Liusu herself was a completely Demonic Nature character.
Liusu said, "If you insist on going in, I have a way to protect you from the resentment... but there's a condition."
"What are the prerequisites?"
"There needs to be at least one powerful blade in front of you, at least a Qian Yuan, otherwise you might be torn to shreds if you go in, and nothing else matters."
Qin Yi said speechlessly, "Where are we supposed to find a Qian Yuan? Even if we bring one from outside, will we even get a share of the fragments?"
So give up.
"Is it really that hard to get just a fragment...?"
"Hehe!"
Seeing Qin Yi staring blankly for Cheng Cheng without looking around, and noticing his strange expression, Chengcheng couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?"
Qin Yi snapped out of his daze and sighed, "Let's go back. Don't go in if you don't have Qian Yuan."
Cheng Cheng's expression was strange. "So you mean you can break this seal, but you need Qian Yuan?"
"But?" Qin Yi didn't react. "Are you misunderstanding something? We don't meet this condition at all..."
Cheng Cheng pulled her human form to stand beside her. "If I combine my two forms, I might be able to maintain the Demon Emperor Realm for a very short time. Is that enough?"
