Black Wind Mountain!

Dark, ominous clouds filled the vast expanse.

All that could be seen was a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, tall and vast, stretching for thousands of miles.

The area near the mountain was desolate, a barren wasteland with muddy swamps and treacherous waters. The mountain was covered with towering ancient trees, their green leaves turning a dark bluish-black, giving it a sinister appearance. A fierce wind howled and roared, like the wailing of evil spirits, which was truly terrifying.

But all that could be seen was in the mountains.

To the left, there are poisonous clouds and miasma; to the right, insects and venomous creatures crawl about. The mountains are full of deep ravines with babbling streams. It is dark and gloomy, with numerous stone caves and strangely shaped rocks. Several deep pools of mud, each several miles in circumference, gurgle and bubble, filled with rotten grass and mud that ferment and mold, making one want to vomit.

Beside the deep swamp, a Green Bamboo grows.

Beneath the Green Bamboo, in the deep pool, a carp swims.

Carp occasionally surface, opening their mouths to exhale bubbles that cover the Green Bamboo, keeping out the poisonous miasma. The Green Bamboo sways, causing leaves to fall into the pool, purifying the water and driving away insects and poisons.

Perhaps it will be a year.

Perhaps it has been ten years.

Rumble!

The winds and clouds change in the sky, while fish and dragons dance on the ground.

But as one great Heavenly Tribulation descended, a clear light flashed, then a white light appeared, and one could vaguely see the Green Bamboo transforming, and the carp turning into a dragon.

Sough!

Hoo hoo!

The wind blows the leaves, and the clouds gather as the dragon roars.

The Heavenly Tribulation lasted for nine days and nine nights before finally dissipating.

Where the Green Bamboo is.

The entire area, encompassing barren mountains and treacherous waters, seemed to have been turned over by a shovel, its surface shaving away dozens of feet to create a pool of water. Within it, turbulent, foul water teemed with countless insects and poisonous creatures.

But a perfect couple walked on the water.

It landed on a platform at the foot of the mountain.

"What a magnificent Earth Immortal Realm!"

"I was demoted to the body of a carp, but in just a hundred years I have cultivated myself back to become Earth Immortal!"

Ao Le transformed into a dragon, then reverted to human form. He glanced at his own cultivation and was momentarily astonished.

In just one hundred years.

From a mortal carp to Earth Immortal True Dragon, the span of this journey would be tens of thousands of years if placed in the Immortal Qin Realm!

"No wonder my husband always said that the Earth Immortal Realm is a sacred place for cultivation."

Ao Le looked at Lu Qingfeng beside him.

But her husband also looked somewhat surprised.

"That's not right!"

Lu Qingfeng was indeed surprised, even more so than Ao Le.

He had also cultivated in the Earth Immortal Realm for many years. He had just died in the Immortal Qin Realm and was reincarnated in the Earth Immortal Realm. He had even grown as a 'Pure Law Bamboo' in Black Wind Mountain, Little Spirit Mountain, and Yellow Wind Ridge.

It starts from when the bamboo shoots sprout.

It took a full 16,000 years to cultivate into True Immortal.

However, this time, his cultivation in the dream only took a hundred years.

So fast.

It's really quite strange.

"Perhaps it's because I was originally Earth Immortal?"

"Or perhaps the Earth Immortal Realm is different in ancient and modern times?"

"Or is there something wrong with my Divine Ability?!"

Lu Qingfeng was unsure for the moment, so he decided not to delve into it and said to Ao Le, "Let's look around first."

He immediately looked around.

The Demon Qi were filled with a dense, lingering demonic aura that shot straight upwards. The winds carrying the scent of blood and gore carried a foul stench. For hundreds of miles ahead lay a desolate wasteland, clearly inhabited by a ferocious and violent monster.

It's not a good place.

"Completely in the dark."

"We still need to find someone to ask about the details."

"Land."

"Mountain God".

"Come here immediately!"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qingfeng immediately activated his magic hand seal, chanted an incantation, and lightly stomped his foot on the ground.

"This humble old man greets the two great immortals!"

A wisp of Azure Smoke rose from where Lu Qingfeng had stomped his foot.

Then two people appeared: an old man with a completely white beard, a thin body, wearing a colorful funeral shroud and leaning on a cane; and a naked evil spirit behind him, twelve feet tall, holding a steel fork, with a blue face and fangs.

It is this land and mountain god.

Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le underwent a great Heavenly Tribulation and transformed into immortals, causing quite a commotion. How could the local mountain gods and earth gods not notice?

Although they are gods of the Netherworld and their cultivation is not bad, comparable to ordinary True Immortal, they are still far inferior to true immortals.

And since he is a god in this desolate and dangerous place where demon kings gather, his eyesight must be exceptional.

How dare I take such a big risk?

We dare not be negligent.

"They do know what's good for them."

Lu Qingfeng was taken aback when he saw this, then immediately laughed.

He had initially thought that these mountain gods and earth gods, relying on their status, would look down on him, a rogue Rogue Cultivator. Although he was a 'Spirit-Capturing Great General' in the Earth Immortal Realm, he was far more esteemed than ordinary mountain gods and earth gods.

But it was clearly a later official who had no authority over this minor deity from ancient times.

However, since the two gods were so cooperative, it saved him a lot of trouble.

He immediately asked, "What kind of place is this, and what demon kings are nearby?"

The old earth god and the Ghost Mountain exchanged a glance, and the earth god replied first, "Reporting to the Great Immortal, this place is the border between the Continent of Southern Jambudvipa and the Continent of West Ox Congratulations, hence it is called 'Two-Realm Mountain'. The Two-Realm Mountain is vast, with more than 3,700 mountains, and the number of demon kings within is unknown. This place is the territory of Black Wind Mountain, but it is just a small one among these more than 3,700 mountains. Inside, there are nine caves and ten streams, each Wang Pan with his own demon army. It is not easy to provoke them."

"Oh?"

"It's actually the Black Wind Mountain territory?!"

Lu Qingfeng looked around and saw barren mountains and treacherous waters. Where was the ethereal and spiritually rich scene he had witnessed when he grew up in Black Wind Mountain?

Returning to familiar places.

No wonder he didn't recognize him at first glance.

"It is said that..."

"Black Wind Mountain was originally a barren and desolate place. When the Way of Heaven Sect Master arrived, he hollowed out the entire Black Wind Mountain, set up an array inside, and gathered the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the essence of the Five Elements. Only then did Black Wind Mountain become a sacred place for cultivation."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up as he recalled the origins of Black Wind Mountain: "I wonder how many years are left until the start of the calamity. If I could become a disciple of the Way of Heaven Sect Master and learn the 'Heavenly Dao Twelve Scrolls,' that would be wonderful."

Thinking to myself.

Count on your fingers.

However, he found the secrets of heaven to Chaos, and even with his Great Divine Ability, the "Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology," he could not glimpse even a fraction of them.

"Good!"

"Looks like we've come at just the right time!"

Lu Qingfeng was not surprised but rather pleased.

The secrets of heaven are so Chaos and unpredictable; a calamity is surely imminent. And since Black Wind Mountain has not yet been developed, it's clear that the Way of Heaven Sect Master will arrive soon.

A single thought arises.

Lu Qingfeng probed, "Gouchen Emperor commands the demon races of the Three Realms Demon Race. No matter how powerful the demon kings here are, would they dare to harm people for no reason?"

"He's just a fledgling novice."

"Short-sighted!"

Upon hearing this, the demon-like mountain god sneered inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face. He simply replied, "Great Emperor Gouchen perished while subduing demons, and the position of Emperor remains vacant. As a result, these demon kings are left unchecked, which is why they are so vicious!"

Lu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

I have a clear understanding of the situation.

As far as he knew, when the Way of Heaven Sect Master first came to the Earth Immortal Realm from the Human Realm before attaining enlightenment, he fought against the Great Shaman Bai Qi, which alarmed the Heavenly Court. He was then bestowed the title of 'Great Emperor Gouchen' and issued a decree to the Three Realms. Except for places not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, everyone else could receive the news and learn about the appearance and spirit of the new emperor.

All the gods and spirits of the Three Realms know this.

Since this mountain god said that there is no Great Emperor Gouchen in the heavens, then the Way of Heaven Sect Master has obviously not yet arrived in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"In this way."

"Why not cultivate here in Black Wind Mountain for now? It won't take long anyway."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.

He hasn't made a sound yet.

Suddenly, demonic winds rose from all directions, black mists filled the air, and Blackwater surged, creating a tremendous spectacle as everything rushed toward Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le.

Judging from their momentum.

They were all quite powerful, mostly demon kings, and some of them, including demonic winds and clouds, were even more formidable than Lu Qingfeng.

"It's the Black Wind Mountain Demon King."

"Please forgive me, Great Immortal."

The mountain god and the local earth god were truly cowardly. Seeing the Black Wind and demonic clouds sweeping in, one spun around on the spot, turned into Azure Smoke, and disappeared underground. The other hurriedly slammed his steel fork into the ground and disappeared into a crack in the earth.

"..."

Ao Le was momentarily stunned, and wanted to ask if these two gods were truly deities of the Heavenly Court—

They were so afraid of the Demon King?!

"Husband, be careful!"

But seeing the commotion around him, he dared not be negligent and revealed a precious sword in his hand, its Golden Light shining brightly.

It was the Son of Heaven Sword that Lu Qingfeng had taken from Qin Zhen.

Although it lacks the support of millions of people in the Immortal Qin, it is still a fourth-tier Immortal Artifact with considerable power.

"Um!"

Lu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

He held a Green Bamboo Staff in his hand, and his expression was slightly serious.

The next moment.

Thirteen demon kings arrived in a grand procession.

Lu Qingfeng looked around and immediately saw a familiar face.

"Three-Tailed Blackfish?"

Lu Qingfeng's gaze fell on the first demon king.

This demon king was entirely black, covered in scales, like a suit of fish-scale armor, which looked very imposing. Two fleshy tendons wrapped around his buttocks and ran all the way to the top of his head. His head was bald, completely black. The two fleshy tendons that ran from his buttocks to the top of his head were about half a foot long, like two fat fleshy horns. These fleshy horns were about the thickness of a calf, somewhat round, and resembled a human head. His facial features were faintly visible, and his face was ferocious, which was really bizarre.

Lu Qingfeng recognized him immediately upon seeing him—

Isn't this the one buried in the 'Tomb of Gods'?

"Immortal Dao".

"But even that can't escape death."

Lu Qingfeng muttered to himself, glancing at it a few more times.

Ao Le, who was already the master of the Tomb of Gods, even fought with the will of the 'Three-Tailed Blackfish' demon king after his death while Spirit Transformation Tomb, and knew that he had already reached the Immortal Dao before his death.

Now it seems that she is much more powerful than her husband, Lu Qingfeng.

Be on high alert now.

The couple stared at the Black Fish Demon King, which delighted him. He thought that their unparalleled charm had captivated two newly accomplished demons, and hurriedly said, "I am the Demon King of Returning Cloud Ravine Black Wind Mountain. Would you two be willing to join my ranks?"

"You three-tailed beast, you shameless thing."

When the demon king saw that the Three-Tailed Blackfish wanted to recruit these two great demons who had already become Immortal Dao, how could he let him have his way?

These Three-Tailed Blackfish were already the top-tier demon kings of the nine caves and ten streams of Black Wind Mountain. If they were to add two more generals to their ranks, there would probably be no place for them to stand in the nine thousand miles of Black Wind Mountain.

Immediately, a demon king stepped forward and said loudly, "You two should ignore the Three-Tailed Fox. Rather than going to Returning Cloud Ravine and being bossed around by the Three-Tailed Fox, you should go to my Poison Dragon Cave. I, the Poison Dragon, am willing to become sworn siblings with you two. From now on, you two will be my Second King and Third King of the Poison Dragon Cave!"

Black Wind Mountain.

Poison Dragon Cave.

Lu Qingfeng's attention was originally on the Three-Tailed Blackfish, but upon hearing this, he immediately turned his head to look at the one among the thirteen demon kings who had spoken.

The demon king wasn't exactly ugly; he wore a yellow cloak, black tight-fitting inner armor, and tiger-skin boots, exuding a fierce aura. In his hand he gripped a Blackglow Divine Halberd, which possessed a certain mystique, clearly forged from precious treasures with meticulous care.

But it only possesses a third of the divine power, and still appears rather crude.

"Poison Dragon?"

"Could he be the Venerable Poison Dragon who suppressed the Galaxy Realm back then?"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up.
