Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, Ancient Hill of Antiquity in Uproar! (Monthly Votes Requested at the Start of the Month)

Kuang Chuan's ascent to the stage drew everyone's attention.

Zhao Xing also looked up, fixing his gaze on Kuang Chuan's back.

"Long ago, Kuang Chuan had already developed the Great Nether Ancient Mountain Theory and the Profound Darkness Transformation Art."

"The Profound Darkness Transformation Art was cut, but the Great Nether Ancient Mountain Theory had a tremendous influence."

"Over the first ten eras of the Desolate Territory, four people, including Kuang Chuan, visualized the Nether Ancient Mountain. One of them even became a Free God and reached Divine Soldier Grade."

Among the Earthly Advantage Faction's many spells, Mountain Arts held the greatest hope of producing gods, especially through visualizing highly ranked mountains among the Unknowable Mountains.

Yet for the Great Nether Ancient Mountain Theory, which had once borne such high hopes of attaining the Dao, producing only one Free God—not even one at Divine General level—was below expectations.

Kuang Chuan's experiments were later halted as well, proving that the path of attaining the Dao through the Nether Ancient Mountain was unworkable. To keep others from continuing to obsess over this path,

both the art and the theory had been sealed away in dust for a long time.

"Among the Unknowable Mountains, the Nether Ancient Mountain was once ranked first."

"Now that Kuang Chuan has returned from the Nether Ancient Mountain, it's practically the template for the Dragon King's return."

From the snippets Zhao Xing had heard from Wei Zizhan and Divine General Lanchuan, he could tell that Venerable Kuang Chuan had some extremely powerful supporters.

Times had changed. Venerable Kuang Chuan had failed to find the physical Nether Ancient Mountain before, but now he had successfully brought back soil from that place.

Simply distributing the Nether Ancient Mountain's soil would be enough to make many Divine Realm cultivators owe Kuang Chuan a favor.

And only Kuang Chuan knew how to reach the Nether Ancient Mountain.

Kuang Chuan took out a copy of the Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture and sat high upon the Dao Debate Platform, his gaze weathered by time.

His Dharma Realm unfolded into a stretch of darkness, adorned by only the faintest starlight, depicting the Black Heaven Desolate Territory.

When Zhao Xing looked over, he immediately saw a figure from behind standing before a sheer cliff, with a surging, indescribable river of void below.

The robes snapped fiercely in the wind, and the lone figure seemed both desolate and resolute.

This is the scene from ten eras ago, when Venerable Kuang Shan entered the Black Heaven Desolate Territory. Zhao Xing came to a realization.

Within Venerable Kuang Chuan's Dharma Realm, the scene began to move. The determined yet lonely figure raised a torch and began exploring the Black Heaven Desolate Territory.

"The Black Surge River freezes, ink hangs from the four poles. Blades of snow carve the sky, rocks spread like black teeth, and the heavenly wind howls."

"The Thousand Ren Wall, Flying Spring at dusk."

"The Earth Aperture groans and calls; Lunar Yin flows."

"The cold gorge suddenly opens; the abyss raises a phosphorus river."

"After seventy-eight thousand hours, five veins illuminate and nurture four hundred million cycles of heaven. These eight dangers have all been crossed."

Admiration showed in Zhao Xing's eyes. The Dharma Realm's scenes replayed swiftly, yet Kuang Chuan had crossed the eight great lands of wonders and dangers within the Black Heaven Desolate Territory.

Judging by their characteristics, they should have been Black Tide River Cliff, rock, Fire Cave, Thousand Ren Wall, Heavenly Wind Layer, Earth Aperture Layer, True Spirit Cold Gorge, and Phosphorus Rising Abyss.

"Is this the route Kuang Chuan mapped out to reach the Nether Ancient Mountain? He had to cross eight major dangerous places and travel so far. It's unimaginable."

"And this is only part of it."

As Kuang Chuan's Dharma Realm advanced, Zhao Xing and the others soon saw many more dangerous places.

There was the Void River, capable of drowning stars, and Green Radiance, capable of revealing stone marrow.

Amid mountain rocks and stellar remains stood humanoid shapes with hollow, shadowy eyes, as though some ancient creature lurked within.

Kuang Chuan spent nearly four eras merely advancing and exploring through the dark domain.

He left many markers along the way and described many phenomena to use as points of reference.

Some were created by him, while others were things he remained in place to verify repeatedly.

In the end, the torch in Kuang Chuan's hand went out.

Even then, the legendary Nether Ancient Mountain remained nowhere in sight.

A sense of hopeless, deathly stillness emanated from the Dharma Realm. Everyone could feel Kuang Chuan's despair at that time.

"Whoosh—"

At that moment, a Divine General atop the Earth God Altar acted. A golden gleam of divine power entered the Dharma Realm, seeming to cut off a stretch of time.

"...After traversing the wilds for four eras and witnessing seven hundred thirty million cycles of heaven, I finally saw Nether Ancient..." Kuang Chuan's voice sounded again, and the outline of a mountain had already appeared within the Dharma Realm.

Zhao Xing's teeth itched with frustration.

Damn it, they actually blocked it. Was he not even qualified to know the route to the Nether Ancient Mountain?

But his attention soon settled on the mountain's outline.

"One hundred and eight thousand eras of Black Heaven: Nether Ancient Earth Boundary, Buzhou Mountain."

"At the edge of the Great Desolation stands a mountain that does not join. Utterly yangless, utterly yin. Its veins resemble strings, its ground is wet as a sea, its ridges hang from the sky's tether, its peaks drift like duckweed—"

Following Kuang Chuan's description, Zhao Xing began mobilizing his Extreme Land Method to evolve the Nether Ancient Mountain.

"Utterly yangless, utterly yin; a mountain that does not join. Its veins resemble strings? Its ground is wet as a sea? Its ridges hang from the sky's tether, its peaks drift like duckweed? What kind of bizarre mountain is this—"

Zhao Xing sank into thought. With Extreme Land simulation combined with his on-site comprehension, a black mountain appeared within him.

Though it lacked divine charm, Zhao Xing felt an overwhelming weight. The fourth layer of his Extreme Land Method could not support this Nether Ancient Mountain Dharma Aspect.

"Smaller, smaller, smaller!"

Zhao Xing stopped forcing it and began using the Nether Ancient Mountain Dharma Aspect to amplify his other spells.

The Five Extremes Spirit Pearl Earth Palace Art, the Layered World Mountain Art, and the Space-Time Earth Passage Art all seemed capable of being enhanced by this Dharma Aspect.

Just as his Dharma Realm's deduction of the Three Epochs Boundary Theory could help many people comprehend the Dao and break through, increasing their spell power, the Nether Ancient Mountain Dharma Aspect

increased the power of most Earthly Advantage Spells by ten percent, with some even exceeding twenty percent.

"I haven't sensed an Earth Vein or cultivated a Mountain Art. It's only a Dharma Aspect, yet it brings such benefits?" Even Zhao Xing was somewhat astonished.

This proved that Kuang Chuan had truly found the Nether Ancient Mountain rather than inventing nonsense. Otherwise, it could not have produced such a tremendous effect.

Just as Zhao Xing and the other mountain lords were all studying it, the second Divine General atop the altar acted.

"Whoosh—"

A radiance of divine power covered the entire Dharma Realm, as though sealing it.

From then on, no one could sense any Dao resonance.

The Dharma could not be lightly transmitted. Kuang Chuan's art had already reached the core level of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and could not simply be taught to others.

Being interrupted for a second time left Zhao Xing extremely displeased, but there was nothing to be done. If these truly were arts related to the Nether Ancient Mountain, how could outsiders be allowed to learn them for free?

At that moment, a copy of the Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture appeared above Kuang Chuan's head.

Upright words appeared on the Classic of Mountains, marking the names of three arts:

The first was the Nether Ancient Mountain Insight-Seeking Art: the route to the Nether Ancient Mountain, as well as the art for seeing it.

To conquer an Unknowable Mountain, one had to create an Insight-Seeking Art.

Otherwise, others could not get there, and even upon arriving, they would be unable to see it.

The second was the Nether Ancient Mountain Opening Spell.

In his earlier lecture, Kuang Chuan had proposed that the Nether Ancient Mountain was a Buzhou Mountain. In other words, it did not exchange with the outside world; it possessed neither a cycle of heaven nor a yin-yang cycle.

Utterly yangless and utterly yin, it did not interact with the outside world—and that outside world naturally included people.

This was also a characteristic of the overwhelming majority of Unknowable Mountains.

Its unique properties gave the entire mountain a naturally formed Mountain Sealing Spell.

One needed a Mountain Opening Spell to climb it.

Otherwise, even if one knew the Insight-Seeking Art and could see it, one could not touch it, much less enter the mountain.

The third was the Profound Yin Earth Change Method.

Earth Transformation Methods generally took two forms. The first resembled the Marquis Transformation Art, transforming one into sand, earth, or stone. Naturally, this was a gradual process. At first, one was merely wrapped in the Nether Ancient Mountain Dharma Aspect, forming a suit of Mountain Armor.

The second combined the Earth Refining Art or Mountain Art, applying not to oneself but to mountain-type artifacts, the battlefield environment, or one's enemies.

Yet there was even more light within the Dao scripture, which had not been revealed.

It left Zhao Xing and the mountain lords itching with anticipation.

Kuang Chuan must have remained at the Nether Ancient Mountain for many years. It was impossible that he had created only three spells.

He was a Demigod. He surely had created Earth Palace, Earth Treasury, Earth Passage, Earth Split, Mountain Arts, and more.

But the Divine Generals would not allow Kuang Chuan to reveal them.

It was not because they guarded against mountain lords like Zhao Xing, but because they guarded against outsiders.

"Unique methods created from an Unknowable Mountain surely require Nether Ancient Mountain soil, perhaps even a section of its Earth Vein."

"Without those, they can't be cultivated anyway."

Thinking that over, Zhao Xing no longer felt anxious.

If he became Mountain Chief, he would certainly receive some, and he would gain the right to know the details.

As for how much, he was uncertain. Based on his current judgment, even Divine Realm cultivators probably desperately wanted materials from the Nether Ancient Mountain.

"Whew—"

After Kuang Chuan placed the Dao scripture above him, the flames of his divine fire surged to thirteen chi high!

At the same time, a Heaven and Earth Anomaly appeared. A phantom mountain manifested within Earth Altar Plaza.

The commotion far surpassed everyone before him!

"This is fucking incredible."

Even Zhao Xing had no choice but to admire Kuang Chuan.

This scene had to be viewed from two perspectives.

The divine fire surging thirteen chi proved that Kuang Chuan would become a Free God with absolute certainty.

Divine Soldier Grade was not even his limit. He was very likely to reach Divine General level!

The Heaven and Earth Anomaly proved that the Nether Ancient Mountain could serve as a foundation for Heaven and Earth Attainment. The higher the grade of the anomaly, the greater the hope of attaining the Dao!

Of course, not even a God King could guarantee which method would succeed in attaining the Dao one hundred percent of the time.

But Kuang Chuan's anomaly covered half of Earth Altar Plaza. It was utterly terrifying.

"No wonder so many Divine Realm cultivators support him. If I were a god of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, I'd support Kuang Chuan too." Zhao Xing sighed inwardly.

Even if Kuang Chuan had been exiled to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, exploring for four eras and crossing countless dangerous places was still an astonishing feat!

Even capable ministers in ancient times had been demoted before being restored to office. Kuang Chuan's past deeds were hardly some unforgivable crime.

Moreover, Divine General Mengchuan had taken responsibility and revived quite a few people. Let alone the gods, even the mountain lords would not think much of it after learning the truth.

Those who did not know the truth worshipped Kuang Chuan even more. He was practically a legendary figure.

Zhao Xing did not need to think to know that the outside world must already be in an uproar.

"Great Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture! Great Venerable Kuang Chuan!"

"There is one fewer Unknowable Mountain in the world! Hahahaha!"

"Extreme Land protects us! Our Ancient Hill of Antiquity will surely become even more glorious!"

Countless people shouted Venerable Kuang Chuan's name madly. Some even bowed toward the Earth Realm, revering him as though he were a god!

"Our Brow Mountain has no chance now." Venerable Taihao sighed. For both public and private reasons, he had believed it would be good for Zhao Xing to become Mountain Chief.

But now that Venerable Kuang Chuan's Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture had emerged, everything else paled in comparison.

"The Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture can be called the foremost scripture of the Desolate Territory's Third Era." Venerable Chuchuan also sighed. "The position of Mountain Chief will likely move to Dream River Mountain."

"I never thought the rumors were true." Venerable Pingyou said distractedly, "The Nether Ancient Mountain truly exists. I wonder when the permissions will be opened up so that peak lords like us can learn it."

"This time, it may truly be difficult." Liu Tianning sensed the uproar spreading throughout the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and could not help shaking his head.

Even though he supported Zhao Xing in his heart, he did not think Zhao Xing could still contend for the position of Mountain Chief.

The ranking in the Divine Domain Trial carried less weight than the Debate Dao Before the Gods.

From a rational perspective, Kuang Chuan was also certain to become a god. Choosing him as Mountain Chief was more convincing.

"Layered World Mountain is not an Unknowable Mountain. It still falls short by a level."

"The Ancient Hill of Antiquity has produced such a figure. It truly commands respect." Zuo Qiyu also sighed.

"The Nether Ancient Mountain... I wonder what good things could be grown by farming there." Venerable Bi Sui also praised it.

"There is one fewer Unknowable Mountain in the world. Kuang Chuan's legend could actually continue after ten eras. It's truly unbelievable."

While everyone else sighed in admiration, Five Poisons wore a deeply worried expression.

He was not thinking about how impressive Kuang Chuan was. He was thinking that his disciple would have no way to claim the position of Mountain Chief.

"Little Ji, we were truly careless this time." Venerable Five Poisons stood beside Ji Si.

Yet Ji Si remained calm and composed. "Senior Five Poisons, why worry so much? We diviners often say that until the final moment, one cannot declare the future decided."

"The Grand Agriculture Official's expression holds admiration for Kuang Chuan, but there is no despair in it."

"Then tell me, what doctrine could possibly defeat the Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture?"

Ji Si recalled the sensation she had felt that day. She smiled but said nothing.

"Please invite the Brow Mountain Lord to take the stage and debate the Dao."

Divine General Lanchuan's voice rang out.

Zhao Xing took a deep breath, rose, and walked toward the Earth God Altar.

At that moment, he and Venerable Kuang Chuan were separated by several hundred meters, one above and one below.

Neither of them looked at the other.

After Zhao Xing ascended the Dao Debate Platform, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

His Dharma Realm unfolded, yet it contained nothing at all,

as though he had fallen asleep.

"The Brow Mountain Lord has delayed speaking. Could Kuang Chuan have shaken his Dao heart?"

Upon the high platform, Lü Song, one of the twelve Divine Generals, frowned.

Such a state of mind made him regard Zhao Xing less favorably.

"That should not be the case." Beside him, a divine maiden named Yu Ling spoke gently. "He is likely brewing something."

"He doesn't even dare take out a Dao scripture. Prepare time acceleration and skip this part." Divine General Lü Song shook his head. "It will at least preserve his dignity."

"Mm." Divine General Gong Yi nodded and prepared to wave his hand.

They could not let the world witness Zhao Xing's embarrassment. In the Divine Generals' eyes, Zhao Xing was still quite young, a seedling that needed care.

Zhao Xing was not the only one affected.

Reed Mountain, Venerable Hong Shan, and the others had been dazzled by the Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture. They did not even notice Zhao Xing taking the stage and were still pondering the Nether Ancient Mountain Dharma Aspect.

"Wait!" Venerable Lan Chuan stopped Divine General Gong Yi. "He has begun."

"In the universe, there is a mountain with no fixed substance and no constant form. When it meets a woodcutter, it becomes verdant hills and valleys; when it encounters an imperial descendant, it becomes a jade palace with a thousand steps."

"When the seeker arrives, the hexagram opens and the mountain hides."

"There is no time to climb the mountain, no moment to descend it. All who climb it must lose one thing."

"The scholar leaves behind his brush, the martial man abandons his blade, the fool forgets his name.

"What is discarded solidifies into stone steps, numbering no more than nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

The moment Zhao Xing finished reciting that passage, Venerable Kuang Chuan abruptly raised his head and stared at the debate platform in disbelief.

The twelve Divine Generals who had been discussing among themselves suddenly fell silent as well.

Whether human or god, everyone could now hear that Zhao Xing was discoursing on Ten Directions Mountain!

"Has he gone mad?"

That was Venerable Kuang Chuan's first thought.

Ten Directions Mountain ranked first among the Unknowable Mountains.

It appeared once every era, at random times and places.

It made diviners' hexagrams more accurate, while the First Hexagram of Ten Directions was invariably true.

Ten Directions Mountain had appeared since time immemorial. It surfaced in every era, but that did not mean someone would always happen to climb it in every era.

Because no one knew when or where it would appear, and because it remained only briefly, by the time people discovered it and rushed over, Ten Directions Mountain had already vanished.

Even if someone happened to get up there, they might not necessarily obtain the First Divination.

Ten Directions Mountain could not be tracked, its location could not be determined, and its time of appearance could not be predicted.

Even now, Ten Directions Mountain remained a mystery to people. There were few patterns that could be summarized, let alone changed.

Even Divine Realm experts could not make Ten Directions Mountain linger any longer or alter its rules.

Otherwise, the First Divination obtained by the Red Star Empire would not have sparked such fierce competition.

Those who had gone there were muddleheaded about how they had climbed up and descended. They simply did not understand why.

And now, someone actually dared to discourse on Ten Directions Mountain?

Venerable Kuang Chuan's first reaction was that Zhao Xing had gone mad.

The twelve Divine Generals also fell into a brief silence.

They had not sensed any major change in Zhao Xing's mental state, which meant he had not gone mad.

Much less could he have been Going Berserk.

Could he be trying to Play to the crowd?

Divine General Lu Song and Divine General Gong Yi had already prepared to act.

Zhao Xing going mad was unacceptable, but trying to Play to the crowd on such a solemn occasion was equally unacceptable.

"Wait a little longer." Divine General Lanchuan stopped the other Divine Generals from acting for the second time. "The Earth God has not stopped him. We can listen a while longer."

"Even if these are arrogant words, we can rewind time and ensure the outside world never learns of them."

With his intervention, the Divine Generals stopped once more.

Below, on the debate platform, the voice of the Great Dao continued to spread.

".---Kuofeng, Meng, Rouzhao, Qiangwei, Zhuoyong, Tuwei, Shangzhang, Chongguang, Xuanmo, Zhaoyang. Mountains have yin and yang, fixing the location of the year. This is Ten Directions Mountain!"

As Zhao Xing's words spread, the Dharma Realm trembled. Ten Light Spots emerged within it, but their radiance seemed frozen, devoid of any concept of time.

"Kun Dun, Chifenruo, Shetige, Danku, Zhixu, Great Desolation Fall, Dun, Xieqia, Juntan, Zuo'e, Yanmao, Dayuanxian—these are the time cycles. Yin and yang circulate through the heavens, and Ten Directions Mountain manifests along the paths of the twelve time cycles."

The Dharma Realm, which had originally been motionless, with even its light congealed, suddenly came alive, as though it had begun to turn.

"First era before the Desolate Territory: Ten Directions Mountain appeared at 'Zu Yu Pen Star.' Dayuanxian's path manifested and returned to emptiness. Its position was Zhaoyang, its movement five and one-third yang markers. Mountain and time aligned, then it vanished into concealment."

Within Zhao Xing's Dharma Realm, the ten Light Spots blazed brightly, manifesting a complete map of the Profound Spirit Star Region. It then rapidly shrank and settled upon a certain star.

Suddenly, the star shattered. A mountain was born from its core, its entire body aflame, like a burning volcano.

"Second era before the Desolate Territory: Ten Directions Mountain appeared at 'Ying Shui Sea.' Yanmao's path manifested into a mountain. Its position was Xuanmo, its movement four and one-third yin markers. The mountain hid in the void."

The Dharma Realm evolved once again. At a place in the Profound Spirit Star Region called Ying Shui Sea, a great mountain appeared. Its entire body was azure, brimming with vitality.

"Third era before the Desolate Territory: Ten Directions Mountain appeared at—"

Zhao Xing's voice grew louder and more resonant. At Earth Altar Plaza, the people who had previously been stunned by Venerable Kuang Chuan's Nether Ancient Mountain Scripture gradually came back to their senses and turned their eyes toward Zhao Xing's Dharma Realm.

Upon the high platform, the twelve Divine Generals gradually became speechless. Even their divine radiance seemed to freeze.

Because they, too, sensed something unusual.

At this moment, they did not even dare circulate their divine power, afraid of disturbing Zhao Xing.

If Zhao Xing were merely spouting wild nonsense, there would be no manifestation of any Dao.

Yet this strange sensation had appeared, proving that Zhao Xing's words very likely had substance!

Not until Zhao Xing deduced matters to the fourth era before the Desolate Territory—

"Enough."

At last, a Divine General interrupted Zhao Xing's discourse.

It was Divine General Lanchuan.

There had originally been no question-and-answer portion in this process, but Divine General Lanchuan could no longer hold back.

"In the sixth era before the Desolate Territory, Ten Directions Mountain never appeared. Why is that?"

"In the sixth era before the Desolate Territory, Ten Directions Mountain appeared at 'Bokejie Star.' Zuo'e was like a dream. Four billion six hundred million living beings dreamed of the same mountain, lasting only one night." "Bokejie Star?" Divine General Lanchuan froze. "What place is that?"

Let alone him, none of the other Divine Generals had ever heard of that location.

"Bokejie Star lies in a mineral star zone in the western reaches of the Celestial Demon Kingdom. It is merely a mineral planet, and the Demon Race within is not highly cultivated."

Zhao Xing continued.

Not every demon developed intelligence. Some possessed powerful innate bodies, yet their intelligence was equivalent to that of a three-year-old human child.

Such low-level demons usually did the dirty and exhausting work.

No one in the sixth era had discovered Ten Directions Mountain's descent. It had actually appeared in the dreams of low-level demons?

"They had been domesticated into creatures that knew only eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping. They did not even know what Ten Directions Mountain was and knew only labor. The only one with slightly higher cultivation was the artifact spirit on Bokejie Star, but artifact spirits could not enter dreams, so naturally it did not know that Ten Directions Mountain had descended briefly."

Whether human or god, everyone now looked into Zhao Xing's Dharma Realm.

They saw roughly four billion six hundred million demon lives on a dark-red mineral planet enter rest and slip into dreams.

A great mountain appeared in every one of their dreams, yet no one knew of this tremendous opportunity. It was simply allowed to pass away.

"What a waste of heaven's gifts!"

Sighs rang out from the Divine Generals' platform.

"Divine Venerable Lan, may I continue my discourse?"

Lan Chuan waved his hand. Zhao Xing felt as though everyone in Earth Altar Plaza had frozen in place.

"No. Proceed to the next stage."

Thus, Zhao Xing stopped his discourse and presented the Dao scripture he had written.

Ten Directions Mountain Scripture!

"Buzz—"

Words stood upon the surface of the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, representing the names of two spells.

The first was: "Ten Directions Mountain Opening Spell."

The second was: "Spirit Mountain Image Fixing Spell."

"Ten Directions Mountain Scripture... How is this possible?" Taiqiu Mountain Master had just emerged from one state of shock, only to fall into another dazed state.

His true spirit was repeatedly assaulted in such a short span of time, and he slapped the Cloud Mountain Master beside him flying.

"Is this real?"

Seeing the Cloud Mountain Master cough up blood, Taiqiu Mountain Master hurriedly went to help him up.

Yet after being slapped away, the Cloud Mountain Master was not angry at all. He had not even shifted his gaze. He lay on the ground staring, afraid he might miss even a single glance.

"Silence!"

At that moment, a mountain wind swept through, restoring everyone's focus.

The twelve Divine Generals respectfully looked toward the phantom above the Earth God Altar and bowed in unison.

The twelve Divine Generals silently listened to the Divine Edict, then cast their spells together.

The Mountain Masters inside had regained clarity, but the outside world had fallen into madness.

"Heavens, what did I just see? The Ten Directions Mountain Scripture?"

"Using the Dharma Realm to deduce Ten Directions Mountain—am I seeing this right? Can this be real?"

"An Unknowable Mountain—that is Ten Directions Mountain—"

"Is this real or fake?"

If the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture were placed anywhere else, no one would believe it. But this was the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, and it had been created by Zhao Xing, who had repeatedly performed miracles. Quite a few people believed it.

But even more people still did not dare believe it.

The main reason was that Ten Directions Mountain's reputation was simply too great.

If one obtained the First Hexagram of Ten Directions, even becoming a god would not be difficult!

Who would dare believe that Ten Directions Mountain had a Mountain Opening Spell?

"If the assembly has not been interrupted and Zhao Shennong has not been eliminated, then that means the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture is real—at least part of it is real!"

"If Zhao Xing is absent from the upcoming Mountain Chief challenge, then perhaps some unexpected change has occurred, such as Zhao Shennong Going Berserk."

"When a scripture or treatise emerges, the Earth God will judge it."

"How will Gui Jun, the Earth God, judge the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture?"

Countless gazes gathered upon the earthly realm, all wanting to see whether Zhao Xing would appear in the final stage.

"Enough~"

Divine radiance converged, and phenomena arose on their own!

Before Zhao Xing could even present the Dao scripture to the altar, divine fire swept forth on its own and swallowed his Dao scripture.

The divine fire rose thirty feet high, forming an Earth God Phantom.

Next came the Great Sea Phenomenon. A rising sun emerged over the sea, and a divine tree unfurled, growing toward the morning sun.

The entire Earth Altar Plaza was completely covered by the phenomena.

Venerable Kuang Chuan came back to his senses and saw the phenomena. Then he saw all twelve Divine Generals descend from the high platform and appear beside Zhao Xing.

He stood there, completely stunned.

The other Mountain Masters were equally dumbfounded. Their hard-won composure suffered another blow.

"The Earth God has manifested divinity, and the Divine Generals have descended from their platform. This has never happened before."

"The Ten Directions Mountain Scripture is actually real?"

"Zhao Xing really wrote the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture?"

Venerable Hong Shan and Venerable Lushan stared at Zhao Xing on the debate platform, their breathing nearly stopping.

Moments later, the delayed and processed footage was sent outside. The guests' main venue fell into deathly silence.

After a brief silence, a thunderous uproar erupted, and the entire Ancient Hill of Antiquity boiled over!
