After traveling for a while, they came to Mount Sumeru.

Looking at this mountain from a distance, Hong Yun couldn't help but stop and admire it. I saw this mountain standing tall and straight into Yunxiao, and its height seemed to compete with Buzhou Mountain.

The mountain exudes a faint golden halo, and there is faint Sanskrit Zen singing echoing between heaven and earth, but it is completely different from Eastern Lands Mystic Sect Daoist rhyme.

What's even more peculiar is that the entire mountain seems to be a self-contained entity, both connected and alienated from the surrounding heaven and earth, flowing with a unique Daoist charm of Perfect and Leakless.

"What a Mount Sumeru!" Hong Yun clapped his hands and exclaimed, "The atmosphere is endless and the Daoist charm is unique, which actually gives people a feeling of Perfect and Leakless. Such a Immortal Mountain, I don't know what kind of Innate Divine Being it is pregnant with."

His spiritual consciousness naturally unfolded, and after careful perception, he said to Zhenyuanzi, "Brother Daoist, this mountain does not seem to be protected by a large formation. Why don't you and I climb the mountain to have a look, and maybe we can meet the owner of this mountain and make friends?"

But Zhenyuanzi stood still, frowning slightly. In his perception of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, the Mount Sumeru in front of him was shrouded in a layer of invisible, yet real and powerful restriction.

This restriction is not an ordinary formation Light Screen, but is closer to a "conceptual" isolation, completely isolating the entire mountain from Primordial World, forming a strange state of "In the World Yet Transcendent".

He shook his head slowly, with a somewhat solemn tone. "No. This mountain is not ownerless, but is shrouded by an extremely mysterious formation. This formation... is completely natural and connected to the origin of the mountain. It is not an acquired arrangement, but more like an innate Guardian Great Formation that was born with this mountain."

The black and yellow light flowed in his eyes, trying to analyze the context of this formation. "This formation borrows the power of some laws that I have never been exposed to. It does not rely on brute force defense, but is closer to 'Karma Isolation' and 'Invulnerable to All Magic'."

"With my current state, I can only perceive its existence, but I can't find any flaws, let alone crack it."

Hearing this, Hong Yun had a look of shock on his face. He knew very well that with Zhenyuanzi's current level of cultivation, even he couldn't see through the formation. "How can there be such a formation? Even Dao Brother, you are helpless?"

Zhenyuanzi's gaze was profound, as if he had penetrated the invisible barrier and saw the more distant future. He already knew in his heart. "This formation should be the protective formation of Two Saints of the West, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti in later generations."

"No wonder... no wonder later generations Luohu detonated Western Lands Earth Veins caused hundreds of millions of mountains and rivers to be shattered and Spiritual Vein to be completely destroyed, but this mountain was able to survive alone and was not affected. It turned out that this Innate Grand Formation had been protecting it for a long time, so that it could be protected from the catastrophe, so that the two people could be born smoothly and take over Western Lands Fortune."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart. This reminded him of another dangerous place. "Now it seems that I am glad that I didn't stubbornly look for traces of Ancestor Minghe at the Netherworld Blood Sea."

"Otherwise, even if we really find his Blood Sea core dojo, I'm afraid it will be just like today, facing a protective formation that is connected to Sea of Blood Origin and cannot be broken except by Primordial Chaos Limitless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, wasting time in vain."

He paused and explained to Hong Yun, "The real core dojos of these Innate Divine Beings, which are born from the great Fortune, are often protected by the strongest beings born from heaven and earth. Unless they have the opportunity to be born, or have crushing strength, it will be difficult for outsiders to enter. This Mount Sumeru is proof."

Hong Yun was stunned when he heard that. When he looked at the seemingly undefended Immortal Mountain again, his eyes were completely different, with more scrutiny and awe. He sighed, "So that's it. Heaven and Earth Creation is indeed mysterious and unpredictable. It seems that you and I can only be people watching the scenery outside the mountain."

Zhenyuanzi nodded slightly. Although he could not go inside to explore, he did not feel regretful. Instead, he used this to confirm many of his guesses. He walked slowly around the perimeter of Mount Sumeru, using Primordial Chaos Dao Heart to carefully comprehend the formation and Western Lands Earth Veins, and even the obscure connection with the entire Western Lands continent Fortune.

He noticed that there was an extremely weak but extremely high essence of Annihilation and the charm of transcendence, which was emanating from the inside of Mount Sumeru through the large array, forming a subtle opposition and balance with the breath of "destruction" and "demon nature" hidden deep in the Western Lands earth that had gradually accumulated due to the existence of Luohu.

"Annihilation is not the end, but another new life... transcending the world of mortals and overcoming all suffering..." If Zhenyuanzi has some enlightenment, although this Western Dao is different from his fundamental way of carrying things on the earth and deriving creation, the philosophy and laws it contains still give him a lot of inspiration.

In particular, the concepts of "isolation" and "protection", as well as the defensive capabilities of Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner he controlled, actually gave rise to some new application inspirations under the deduction of Book of the Earth.

Hong Yun saw Zhenyuanzi deep in thought and did not disturb him. He continued to enjoy the scenery around Mount Sumeru. He found that the closer he got to this sacred mountain, the more peculiar the spiritual plants growing.

Most of them are tough and drought-resistant species that contain the flavor of Geng Metal and Annihilation, which are quite different from the warm and nourishing Eastern Lands spiritual plants.

He also learned from Zhenyuanzi and collected some spiritual plant seeds or seedlings with Western Lands characteristics, such as "Vajra Bodhi Seed", "Nirvana Sea Buckthorn", etc. He said with a smile, "Since we can't enter the mountain, we can bring some 'native products' from the bottom of the mountain back. It's not in vain to come here."

Zhenyuanzi came back to his senses and smiled when he heard the words: "That's right." He also conveniently collected several strange ores containing the "isolation" Tao charm and a kind of "Pure Bamboo" that can absorb distracting thoughts and calm the mind.

The two of them stayed around Mount Sumeru for several days, and Zhenyuanzi took this opportunity to sort out what they had gained from their previous travels, especially their understanding of the unique laws of the Western Lands earth, and to verify it with their own <Great Earth Chaos Scripture>.

His understanding of "earth" is no longer limited to carrying and nurturing, but has also expanded to the levels of "isolation", "division" and "defining boundaries", and his Daoism has actually improved a little.

Hong Yun also confirmed the "gold" element in his Four Symbols Great Dao with Western Lands Geng Metal Qi. He has a deeper understanding of "sharp" and "solid", and the Four Symbols balance in his body is more stable.

A few years later, the two realized that they had reaped a fruitful harvest, so they stopped staying, drove up to the Escape, and left this future sacred mountain shrouded in mystery.

On the way to the west, Hong Yun recalled what he saw during Mount Sumeru's trip, and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Daoist, although I didn't get into Mountain Gate this time, I have seen such a magical Dao protection formation, and I have used it to confirm my own Daoism. It is more rewarding than entering the mountains."

Zhenyuanzi nodded, looked at the vast land in the distance, and said leisurely, "The avenues are endless, and opportunities do not have only one form. Sometimes, what seems like an obstacle is actually a guide; what seems like no chance, may hide a deeper truth."

"Being able to know its existence and understand its principles is already an opportunity. If you try to force it, you will fall into the inferior position."

His words were full of openness and wisdom. This trip to Mount Sumeru was like a clear coordinate, allowing him to grasp the general trend of Primordial Wilderness more accurately.

At the same time, it also made him more clear that on his own path, in addition to constantly accumulating strength, the understanding and application of laws also require the wisdom of analogy.

"Next, let's go take a look at the Immortal Volcano that is rumored to be controlled by the Phoenix Clan." Zhenyuanzi suggested, "The Li Fire way of the south may be of some benefit to your Fire Element Origin."

"Good!" A light of expectation flashed in Hong Yun's eyes. The two stunning streams of light accelerated again, crossing the Western Lands sky, heading towards the wider Primordial Wilderness south.
