"Hehe! There's something you don't know, Junior Brother Li!" Huang Hua said with a smile. "High-level cultivators took part in the last few battles against the demon beasts in the Southwestern Ancient City. They forced open a passage through the air and attacked the Ancient Demon Mountain directly. Although plenty of heavenly materials and earthly treasures appear when the Southwestern Ancient City opens, they're only a few hundred years old. Materials of that age are of no use at all to high-level cultivators. The Rear Mountain Pagoda contains many treasures, but it was always the command center of the demon beast army back then. No cultivator could reach it, and even those who did were quickly driven out. The Rear Mountain Pagoda could be considered one of the most mysterious areas of the Southwestern Ancient City. Since ancient times, only a scant few cultivators have ever reached it!"
"But!" Li Xiaoya suddenly asked again, "I heard that my master, Fairy Qingxia, went there. Do you know about that?"
Junior Brother Li seems very interested in the Rear Mountain Pagoda! Huang Hua thought, but he hurriedly answered, "That's only a rumor..." His voice trailed off. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Actually... the truth is... supposedly, the two Grandmasters never truly reached the Rear Mountain Pagoda. They only got as far as its entrance, then left for some unknown reason!"
"They just left? Didn't people say the two Grandmasters went inside?" Ma Weiqi suddenly interjected. Clearly, he had heard the rumor as well.
"Actually, even the high-level elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect don't know the truth!" Huang Hua shrugged, then paused before saying, "No one knows what happened. Supposedly, after the two Grandmasters left the Southwestern Ancient City that year, they kept their lips sealed about everything they experienced there.
