It Was the Undying Mountain!

Finally, Li Changqing escaped the range of the Black Mountains, and the oppressive feeling and eerie, mysterious aura disappeared with him.

Just as Li Changqing had predicted, the Headless Knight who had been chasing him stopped at the edge of the Black Mountains, facing Li Changqing, but did not take a single step out of the mountain.

Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the Headless Knight standing there. It was a pity that he didn't have a head, otherwise his face would definitely be full of anger.

The next moment, something happened that made Li Changqing's jaw drop: the Headless Knight slowly turned into a wisp of black mist and quietly dissipated.

Li Changqing's eyes widened, his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.

The Headless Knight had been chasing him all the way, possessing immense power, was not his true form, but merely an avatar!

Li Changqing was terrified; even an avatar possessed such formidable power.

If his true form comes, wouldn't he only be able to save himself by using the Kunpeng True Blood?

Thinking of this, Li Changqing shuddered and lamented his bad luck.

Li Changqing looked up at the endless black Mountain Range that seemed to pierce the starry sky, and felt a sense of familiarity.

"The majestic and imposing black Mountain Range, yet exuding an eerie aura, and the Headless Knight... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before, but I just can't remember where."

Shaking his head, Li Changqing stopped thinking about it; he wasn't in a good state right now.

His once robust and full body had become extremely withered. His eyes were empty and lifeless, his figure was thin and emaciated, and his blood and energy were declining.

At this moment, Li Changqing was nothing short of skin and bones, resembling a beggar on the verge of starvation.

There was no other way; in order to escape the Headless Knight's pursuit, Li Changqing recklessly burned his Essence Blood to save his life, resulting in severe depletion of his resources.

If he hadn't swallowed the Emperor Pill refined by the Hun Tiandi, which replenished some of his lost vital energy, his condition would probably have been even worse.

"Never mind, let's find a place with abundant Spiritual Qi to recover first, and then find someone to ask where this place is."

Having made his decision, Li Changqing flew high in the sky, slowly surveying his surroundings. He then glanced northward at the black Mountain Range that soared straight into the sky, the terror of his narrow escape still vivid in his mind.

He had absolutely no desire to get close to those black Mountain Range.

Li Changqing ultimately chose to head south.

He flew hundreds of miles south, but still couldn't see any signs of human habitation.

It seems that the black Mountain Range is a forbidden area for the people here, and no one dares to approach it.

At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly realized that there was a person hiding in the Dense Forest below, and he could clearly feel a strong sense of malice from that person.

Li Changqing hadn't originally intended to interfere, given his current poor condition and the experience with the Headless Knight. If the person below was also very strong, he would be in danger.

The person hiding in the Dense Forest below seemed to realize that he had been discovered, so he simply revealed himself, laughing loudly as he flew to Li Changqing's side.

Li Changqing took a half step back, watching the approaching person warily, while secretly releasing his Soul Force to probe the person's aura.

This was a middle-aged man with an obese build, surrounded by a faint divine aura. He wore a black robe that was extremely tough and sturdy, clearly worth a lot of money, indicating that he was of high status.

However, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief after detecting the person's aura.

Although this person did not deliberately release his aura, Li Changqing estimated that even if he was in extremely poor condition, he would have no problem dealing with the other party if they were truly malicious.

The middle-aged, plump man smiled gently, clasped his hands together, and gave Li Changqing a slight bow. "Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask where you come from and why you are in such a disheveled state?"

Although his expression was gentle and his tone was polite, it was all an act.

Li Changqing didn't want to pay any attention to the middle-aged fat man at all, and said coldly, "It's none of your business, don't bother me, a good dog doesn't block the way."

He had greeted Li Changqing was so ungrateful. The middle-aged fat man didn't bother pretending anymore. His face hardened, and his body shone with divine light as he said sternly:

"You won't listen to reason, kid. Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

After saying this, the middle-aged fat man's expression changed again, and he said calmly, "However, as an Elder of the Sacred Ground, I naturally will not take advantage of someone in distress."

"You carry the aura of that place, so you must have just come from there. If you hand over all the opportunities you obtained from that place, I might spare your life."

Li Changqing suddenly laughed. No wonder there was malice; they must be guessing that he had brought out something valuable from the black Mountain Range and wanted to steal it.

However, the middle-aged fat man was truly courting death by robbing Li Changqing.

Li Changqing raised his withered arm and pointed at the middle-aged fat man. "You should be saying that to me. Hand over everything you have, and maybe I'll spare your life."

As if he had heard the funniest joke, the middle-aged fat man burst into laughter. "Looking like you now, you dare to rob me? How ridiculous!"

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged fat man was radiating a dazzling divine light, and his aura surged.

Li Changqing did not act immediately; he watched the scene quietly.

In his perception of his Soul Force, the five parts of this middle-aged fat man—below his navel, his internal organs, his limbs, his spine, and his brain—were all somewhat peculiar, as if they had all undergone tempering, as if these five parts were the source of his magic.

Li Changqing was suddenly stunned. Didn't this correspond perfectly to the Five Secret Realms in "Shrouding the Heavens": the Wheel and Sea, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform?

Furthermore, the seemingly endless, majestic black Mountain Range and the Headless Knight —if that's the case, then that black Mountain Range is the Undying Mountain, one of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Big Dipper.

His pupils constricted in shock; he had actually landed directly in the Undying Mountain!

No wonder it felt somewhat familiar.

What kind of place is the Undying Mountain?

That is the sleeping place of the Ancient Supreme who once ruled the eight wastelands and commanded the universe.

There was also the Headless Knight, a Quasi-Emperor level powerhouse. Fortunately, the one chasing him was just an avatar, and not very strong at that.

If the Headless Knight were to appear in his true form, Li Changqing would be doomed if he didn't use the Kunpeng True Blood against a Quasi-Emperor expert.

At the same time, Li Changqing felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't act rashly and didn't choose to use the power of the Kunpeng True Blood to fight the Headless Knight's avatar head-on.

Otherwise, if the aura of Kunpeng True Blood were to leak out, it would definitely awaken the Ancient Supreme slumbering in the Undying Mountain.

That was genuine Immortal Blood, and from one of the Ten Fiends Immortal Blood that. For the Ancient Supreme had given up everything and were single-mindedly seeking immortality, the allure of Immortal Blood was probably no less than that of the Immortal Ascension Road.
