Endless mountains.

The border north of Qiantian.

This is a vast, desolate mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles, inhabited by countless ferocious beasts.

A hundred years ago, this mountain range was already a forbidden zone for life. Miasma, poisonous insects, and wild beasts could easily take the lives of mortals and even cultivators. And when the Demonic Spirit transformed into Demonic Beasts a hundred years ago, this mountain range became a paradise for Demonic Beasts.

If it weren't for Li Mufeng, the direct disciple of the contemporary sage, the true immortal of the land, who remained stationed outside the Endless Mountain to block them, the Demonic Beasts within the Endless Mountain would have already surged out to attack.

When that time comes, the four great cold states of the east, west, south, and north will inevitably suffer the same fate as the wooden state, completely falling and giving rise to even more Demonic Beasts.

At this moment, in a treacherous crevice within the Endless Mountains, two rather disheveled women were leading an old man to safety.

Only...

The two women were in better condition. Although they were injured, their clothes were torn, and they looked somewhat disheveled, with some areas even revealing their snow-white skin, they were generally able to move around without any problems.

But the old man they were with had huge wounds and was so weak that he was like a candle flame in the wind, about to go out at any moment.

Even as he lay asleep, pain still lingered on his face, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"My senior uncle..."

"He is traveling through the real spirit world, trying to find a way to avoid Demonic Beasts based on the distribution of spirituality in the real spirit world... so that we can safely escape to Qian Tian."

"But Master Uncle's injuries..."

"..."

The two women exchanged words for a moment, then fell silent.

Unexpected.

The old man opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a mixture of shock, wonder, and confusion.

At that moment, a series of roars came from afar.

Although the distance was still far, it brought the old man out of his somewhat confused state.

This reminds him that he is still being hunted by Demonic Beasts.

"Uncle-Master".

"Master."

The two women cried out nervously, "The Demonic Beasts seem to be catching up. We have to go!"

The old man composed himself and after a moment, he spoke, "Hongye, Yunling, put me down. There are many Demonic Beasts in the Endless Mountains, and the true Spiritual Qi on my body is like a torch in the darkness to these Demonic Beasts. They can 'see' me clearly even if they are tens or hundreds of miles away. If you take me with you, you will not be able to escape."

"Uncle Master, please don't speak. We can break out of the Endless Mountains and return to Qian Tian in another eight thousand miles. That place is a place where Demonic Beasts dare not set foot, and my sect still exists there. We will be safe once we get there."

The road is lined with red leaves.

"Eight thousand miles..."

In other places, an 8,000-mile journey would not take long at all.

But this is an endless mountain.

Demonic Beasts roam the land, and there are countless endless mountains.

Even if Hongye is Celestial Person being and Yunling is a top-tier True Lord, once they are entangled by three or five Demonic Beasts kings, only death awaits them.

Besides, Qiantian might not be as wonderful as they say; it might be just like some other countries...

Demonic Beasts are raising humans.

They then select rulers who, through the ignorance of the masses, make them believe they live in a safe place and thus maintain their spiritual growth.

Humans are both the most intelligent of all beings, but the spirituality contained in a lifeless, apathetic person is completely different from that in a vibrant, positive, and energetic person.

As if she could read the old man's mind, Hongye said in a deep voice, "Senior Uncle, I believe that the Qiantian cultivation world has the ability to protect the Qiantian world..."

"Defend Qiantian? Even with Earthly True Immortals in our Xuanji Sect, we still couldn't escape the fate of destruction. In my memory, there are only a handful of Celestial Person in the Qiantian Realm. Although you said that several Earthly True Immortals were born in Qiantian, it's still not enough to fight against Demonic Beasts."

The old man shook his head.

"Master Uncle..."

Seeing that they only had eight thousand miles left to break through the Endless Mountains and truly set foot in the Qian Heaven Realm, Hongye felt that she could now tell her master about the secret that all the high-ranking members of the Qian Heaven Realm had discussed and sworn an oath to keep a hundred years ago.

Immediately, she took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Senior Uncle, our Qian Tian not only has terrestrial immortals, but also divine weapons!"

Upon hearing this, both the old man and Yun Ling were taken aback.

The old man, in particular, trembled slightly. "You... Hongye... what... what did you just say?"

"Master Uncle, you heard right, a divine weapon!"

Hongye reiterated, "We, Qiantian, have divine soldiers!"

"A divine weapon... a divine weapon... a divine weapon that can recognize its master!?"

"Yes, a divine weapon that can recognize its master."

Hongye nodded. "And the one who recognizes me as his master is a true immortal on land."

"A divine weapon that recognizes a true immortal on land as its master... a divine weapon that recognizes a true immortal on land as its master..."

The old man muttered to himself for a while before he finally rallied his spirits and nodded emphatically, "A divine weapon, a divine weapon that is still 'alive'... and it even recognizes a true immortal on land as its master... It is indeed enough to guard the Qian Heaven."

He forced himself to stand up.

Even the slightest movement would aggravate the injury, and his face would turn deathly pale.

Hongye quickly stepped forward to help him up. "Uncle-Master, let me help you..."

"You are the main force in the fight against Demonic Beasts. How can we fight if you're supporting me?"

The old man waved his hand. "Yunling."

Compared to Hongye, whose injuries did not affect her mobility, Yunling's injuries were more severe.

But she still stepped forward, carried the old man on her back, and quickly left the crevice in the rock.

"Although Qian Tian has a terrestrial immortal who has been recognized as the master of a divine weapon, he may not be able to hold on to it forever. We must find a safer way out."

The old man pondered.

"But... where in this world can truly be called safe?"

Yunling said.

"True security..."

The old man regained some of his spirits, his face showing contemplation.

A moment later, confusion returned to his eyes.

After a long pause, he finally said, "It's not necessarily true..."

"Um?"

"A thousand years ago, our Xuanji Sect was fortunate enough to obtain the complete inheritance of the Pisces Star Lord. Although the inheritance is now incomplete with the destruction of the Xuanji Sect, according to some records I have read, our human realm and the Demon Realm are not the only worlds... They seem to have explored other worlds and once attempted to promote the fusion of worlds, and then enter those worlds... It's just that these plans were abandoned halfway due to the outbreak of civil war..."

The old man said, "Although it was abandoned halfway, the current situation is so dire that somewhere in the world, there must be a Heavenly Ruler emulating the unfinished work of those great creators..."

"Other worlds?"

Yunling and Hongye were somewhat taken aback.

However, the Demon Realm is essentially another world, and they quickly grasped this concept.

"A third-party world?"

"Right."

The old man pondered and said, "Just now, when I went deep into the Real Spirit Realm, trying to use its mysteries to avoid the dangers of the Endless Mountain, I suddenly sensed a peculiar life form. This life form had very weak spirituality, but it was unintentionally drawn into the Real Spirit Realm. Out of curiosity, I shared my spirit with it, and as a result... through it, I saw a world full of wonders."

At this point, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. "Although because his spirituality was very weak, I only saw a few memories, but based on those memories, I concluded that it was a stable world..."

Yunling and Hongye exchanged a glance.

The true spirit world was too far away for these two cultivators.

But it is true that my senior brother discovered a stable world.

"I seized the opportunity to send them the construction method of the Star Spirit Platform. If they can build the Star Spirit Platform and we can build a Star Gate, we can use Star Gate technology to lock onto the coordinates sent by the Star Spirit Platform and thus enter their world for refuge."

The old man said.

"They... are willing to build the Star Spirit Platform?"

Yunling and Hongye asked in confusion.

"His spirituality was weak, and he had no secrets from me. I glimpsed the caution and desires in their hearts... So, I selfishly made a decision..."

The old man sighed, "I bypassed their caution by sharing memories, letting them 'see' how the Star Spirit Platform was built, and... letting them 'see' a part of the wonders of a 'True Immortal'..."

Memory sharing...

The wonders of true immortals?

"The power of a true immortal?"

"No, while power is something to be longed for, it also brings fear, but immortality is something that every living being instinctively desires."

"Immortality..."

Yunling and Hongye knew the allure of those two words for ordinary lives.

Even the Daoist masters themselves were actually trying to find ways to achieve immortality.

Even though the Celestial Master civilization reached its peak a thousand years ago, the cultivation civilization never went extinct because the Celestial Masters could not achieve immortality.

Those who sought immortality, knowing full well the threat of Demonic Spirit and that the Celestial Master was the mainstream at the time, still followed one after another on the path of cultivation.

This is why the cultivator civilization was able to rise so quickly after the Celestial Master civilization was destroyed a thousand years ago.

"This is just a piece of cake. Whether it will succeed is still a long way off. Besides, building a stargate is no easy task... Even if we have the complete stargate manufacturing technology, it is unknown whether there is a safe place in the world today, or whether a powerful force can complete the construction of a stargate."

The old man sighed.

Yunling and Hongye felt heavy-hearted.

Stargates are mega-projects, just like floating islands.

The required investment is astronomical.

And its cost-effectiveness...

But it's not exactly outstanding.

In today's environment, stargate technology is no longer of much significance.

"No matter what, let's get out of the Endless Mountains first. We've already crossed tens of thousands of miles, I don't believe that the last eight thousand miles will stop us."

The red leaves are invigorating.

Yunling and the old man nodded.

The events that occurred in the Endless Mountains have remained unknown Gu Jinlai.

Even the news that Qiushan Lingxiao City had received another mysterious signal has not yet arrived due to the long distance.

At this moment, all his energy was focused on the Chaos True Demon.

Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

As he learned more about this Cultivation Method, a new idea about the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method came to mind.
