Ghost Howl Mountain is not very high, but it is a very large mountain with its base stretching for dozens of miles.
There are always strange gusts of wind blowing through the mountains, their sound accompanied by eerie cries, which are rather unsettling.
You can clearly feel the heavy, menacing atmosphere in the mountains.
There are always ferocious beasts roaming the mountains, but those beasts have almost no cultivation and pose no threat to the three of them, including the Evil Emperor.
The Evil Emperor led Duanmu Yunshang and Liu Ling'er to the mountainside of Ghost Howl Mountain and stopped in a thicket of bushes.
The Evil Emperor parted a patch of thorns, revealing a cave to the three of them.
The entrance to the cave wasn't very large, but it was filled with snakes and insects, making it appear exceptionally dark and damp.
No strange noises came from the burrow.
"This is it! Come down with me!"
The Evil Emperor was the first to leap down.
Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang were both Saint Realm experts, so they were not afraid of the cave with snakes and insects, and they followed them into the cave.
The cave is not completely straight; it has a certain slope and is about a hundred feet deep.
The three quickly slid down to the bottom of the cave and then continued along a slightly wider underground tunnel.
"Sister Evil Emperor, there are no strange noises coming from here!"
Duanmu Yunshang was somewhat puzzled.
"If the strange noises are coming from here, this passage will be too easily discovered!"
The Evil Emperor explained, "The strange sounds emanating from the secret realm don't need any transmission channels; they can easily penetrate the mountain and spread from every part of the entire mountain!"
"I see, no wonder it was so hard to find the source of the strange noise!"
Liu Ling'er nodded.
This passage is winding and dark, damp in many places, and infested with snakes and insects that thrive in shade.
Moreover, not long after, the cave branched out again.
Even a forked road can still have forks!
This isn't a maze, but even an ordinary person could easily get lost inside.
"Back then, I was being chased and fled all the way to Ghost Howl Mountain. I accidentally fell into that same cave I'd been in before, and then wandered around there for months!"
"Back then, I didn't have much cultivation, so I could only survive on the snakes and insects here. I almost died here!"
The current Evil Emperor would certainly not get lost.
In just half an hour, she brought Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang to a huge cave.
This cave looks more like a snake's nest!
Inside were countless snake holes, and all sorts of long snakes roamed everywhere.
They are all highly poisonous and occasionally spew out poisonous mist, filling the entire cave with colorful toxic fog.
These deadly poisons posed no threat to cultivators at the God Realm, and even less so to the three members of the Evil Emperor.
"I was extremely lucky not to be poisoned here in my previous life. Before coming here, I ate a snake gall, which has a strong detoxifying effect!"
With a single wave of his arm, the Evil Emperor swept away the surrounding poisonous mist and sent countless venomous snakes flying as they tried to approach.
The venomous snakes here could not possibly get close to Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang.
Inside the cave, there was a very flat stone wall without any snake holes, and the three of them quickly arrived at this stone wall.
"This is the entrance to the secret realm!"
The Evil Emperor pointed to the stone wall in front of him and said, "In my past life, I accidentally wandered into this place and was surrounded by too many poisonous snakes. I discovered that there wasn't a single poisonous snake around this stone wall, so I hid here!"
"I just touched the stone wall with my hand, and unexpectedly my hand went inside. So I slowly crawled my whole body inside!"
"Then, I entered that secret realm and obtained the Heaven-Devouring Art and the Evil Emperor Netherworld Pearl!"
"After achieving some success in my cultivation in my previous life, I returned here and tried to enter again, but unfortunately, I couldn't get in no matter what I did!"
"Each cultivator can probably only enter once at most, but since I've been reborn, I suppose I can enter again!"
"I'll give it a try first!"
After saying this, the Evil Emperor tried to press down on the stone wall, and to her delight, her palm went inside the stone wall.
"Aunt Liu, Sister Yunshang, you should try it too!"
"Good!"
Duanmu Yunshang was always bold, and she reached out to touch the stone wall.
Her outstretched hand disappeared into the stone wall.
"I'll give it a try!"
Liu Ling'er's right hand also disappeared into the stone wall, and then she asked the Evil Emperor, "Can the three of us go in together?"
"I have no idea!"
The Evil Emperor shrugged; she clearly wasn't very familiar with the secret space behind the stone wall either.
"Aunt Liu, why don't we try and see? Let's go in together!"
Duanmu Yunshang suggested.
"Good!"
Liu Ling'er and the Evil Emperor nodded at the same time, and then together with Duanmu Yunshang, they slowly threw themselves into the stone wall.
Their bodies passed through the stone wall simultaneously, and the three of them indeed arrived in a secret realm.
This secret realm is vast, many times larger than the secret realm opened by Yalong in the Qianxu Sect and by Mo Qi in the Great Yin Sect.
It also appeared to be a void, devoid of any fluctuations from the laws Heavenly Dao the God Realm.
Apart from three strange, flickering flames, there was nothing else in the vast secret realm.
The three strange flames emitted eerie sounds. Although the meaning of the sounds was incomprehensible, they were unsettling.
Two of the flames appeared to have grown considerably larger, while the other was just a hazy, orange-red ball, seemingly on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.
The small ball of fire floated to the top of the Evil Emperor's head and spoke in the common language of the Human Race in the God Realm.
"Child, where did you get your ' Heaven-Devouring Art '?"
"Senior, I am that boy who suddenly barged in ten million years ago!"
The Evil Emperor answered truthfully, "You gave me the Heaven-Devouring Art and the Netherworld Pearl. Later, I cultivated to the Great Saint Realm, but was ambushed and died. Now, I have been reborn with a wisp of my remnant soul!"
"Excellent! As expected of the successor of the Evil Emperor, you've managed to cultivate to the Great Saint Realm even after being reborn!"
Little Fire Orange's words made Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang glance at the Evil Emperor beside them.
The reason why the Evil Emperor called himself the Evil Emperor in his previous life has now been answered.
"Senior, do you think these two people beside me can find some opportunity here?"
The Evil Emperor asked.
"You're the one I've been waiting for, not the other two!"
Little Orange said, "Whether they can obtain this opportunity depends on whether my two brothers are satisfied with them!"
Two other, larger fireballs also floated over and hovered above Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang's heads respectively.
The two felt something was off, as if they were being targeted by a powerful evil spirit.
"This is excellent! The Heaven-Burning Saint Physique combined with the Solar Saint Body, and already at the Saint Realm —very good!"
"Mine is even better! It combines the Great Yin Saint Physique with the Star Saint Body, and it seems to also have the Supreme Divine Physique, haha!"
The two fireballs spoke in the same Human Race language, their tone filled with pride and surprise.
For some reason, both Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang felt something was wrong, and in fact, the Evil Emperor had the same feeling at this moment.
