Chapter 2164 Golden Spirit Mountain, Ancestor Xuanming
Chen Xuan looked very happy.
Jinling Mountain is a famous ancient site where cultivators' caves are located.
It is said that Jinling Mountain was once the sacred site of the renowned Jinling Holy Mother.
For reasons unknown, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit perished on the spot.
Her temple was completely reduced to ruins.
The numerous ancient immortal caves in Jinling Mountain where they resided were also completely abandoned.
For many years, any powerful cultivator at the Celestial Immortal realm with decent cultivation level would enter Golden Spirit Mountain to investigate.
Many of the famous treasures come from Jinling Mountain.
For example, the brocade robe that Chen Xuan used to wear.
"Haha, it seems Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen is quite familiar with the situation in Golden Spirit Mountain. If that's the case, I can save myself some trouble!"
"However, before it is certain whether you can go to Golden Spirit Mountain, I cannot tell you the specifics. Please forgive me!"
Yu Hui, on the other hand, looked completely at ease.
Xin Long, who was standing to the side, also smiled and nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "If that's the case, I can only agree to your request for now. After all, I also want to go to Golden Spirit Mountain to seek my own opportunities!"
"Haha, that's great!"
Yu Hui agreed.
Nod immediately.
He quickly flipped his hand and produced a map of Jinling Mountain.
This map of Jinling Mountain is made entirely from animal hide scrolls.
It exuded a terrifying pressure that made Chen Xuan feel extremely oppressed.
Curious, Chen Xuan scanned the animal skin map with his divine sense.
Upon realizing this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
"This is the hide of the Four Symbols Thunder Dragon? I never imagined that such a powerful monster would be skinned and made into a map." Chen Xuan exclaimed with deep emotion.
Yu Hui smiled and explained, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but I found this map at great cost in an ancient immortal's cave in Jinling Mountain!"
"And the place we're going to is exactly where it's marked on this map!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan carefully examined the animal skin scroll with his divine sense.
Soon, a bright little dot appeared on the map.
"Ancestor Xuanming? Who is this person?"
Chen Xuan looked confused.
Curious eyes gazed towards the afterglow.
Yu Hui gave an awkward smile: "Fellow Daoist, all I know is that this Ancestor Xuanming is no ordinary person. His combat power is also incredibly strong. Under the command of the Golden Spirit Mother, he is practically a powerful figure ranked among the seniors!"
"As for other matters, I cannot say for sure!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
The True Immortal Realm of today is vastly different from the True Immortal Realm of ancient times.
Moreover, faults have appeared in many places.
In places like the Tianmeng Mountains, the tradition has been completely severed.
The true immortals of today can only find some information about the Tianmeng Mountains in ancient times from the remaining fragments of words.
That's it!
However, since Chen Xuan had agreed to go to Jinling Mountain, he naturally dared not be careless.
Taking this opportunity, I inquired in detail about the situation in Jinling Mountain and the situation of the Xuanming Ancestor's cave.
Yu Hui and Xin Long both gave detailed answers.
This completely dispelled Chen Xuan's worries.
"Fellow Daoists, since you are going to Golden Spirit Mountain, I'm sure the three of us alone won't be enough. What are your plans?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui and Xin Long both burst into laughter.
“Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, I have invited some fellow disciples from the Tianhuang Immortal Sect to go to Jinling Mountain together. As for Fellow Daoist Xin Long, I have also invited a few close friends to go together.”
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, rest assured, there are many of us this time. We can absolutely guarantee your safety!"
Chen Xuan nodded: "Haha, since Fellow Daoist Yu Hui has said so, I can rest assured."
After the three of them chatted for a while longer, Chen Xuan took his leave.
Unbeknownst to them, long after Chen Xuan left, Xin Long and Yu Hui did not depart.
At that moment, Xin Long casually waved his hand, creating an anti-peeping light shield that enveloped himself and Yu Hui.
"Fellow Daoist, this Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen you invited this time is quite extraordinary. I wonder if you know his background?"
“Fellow Daoist Xin, I have only recently met Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen. However, Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan’s strength should be quite remarkable. Rest assured, he will definitely not hold us back when we enter Golden Spirit Mountain.”
"Heh, I hope so. I wouldn't agree to let us bring along a burden!"
"Haha, fellow Daoist, what are you saying? Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen is a mid-stage Celestial Immortal, how could he be a burden? You're overthinking it!"
After chatting with Xin Long for a few minutes, Yu Hui immediately took his leave.
Unbeknownst to them, long after Yu Hui left, three figures suddenly rushed into the private room from outside.
These people were the companions Xin Long had invited to go to Jinling Mountain with him.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, are we really going to cooperate with Yu Hui? You know very well that he is a powerful figure from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect!"
"Yes, how could we rogue cultivators possibly be a match for the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect? I feel like we're asking a tiger for its skin."
"Isn't that right? I have a feeling that this time, we're probably in grave danger!"
Xin Long smiled calmly.
"Fellow Daoists, you are overthinking it. So what if it's the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect? Once we enter the Golden Spirit Mountain, everything will be completely unrelated to our sect. At that time, as long as we act cleanly, do you think the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect would seek revenge for these dead Heavenly Immortal Realm experts?"
Upon hearing this, everyone who had just entered was immediately intrigued.
“Fellow Daoist Xinlong is absolutely right.”
"Haha, well said. As long as we are clean-cut, we might be able to kill these guys from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect."
"That being said, the only problem is that guy named Xuan Chen. I wonder how you plan to deal with him? Although he is not a powerful figure from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect, he was invited by Yu Hui."
"Sigh, we'll just take care of him too. Do you think we're afraid of a mere mid-stage Celestial Immortal if we join forces?"
"That's right, we are all late-stage Celestial Immortals. Our cultivation is much higher than his!"
After a brief discussion, everyone left.
Little did they know that long after they left, a gold-devouring worm suddenly sprang out from underground.
With a swift flap of its short wings, it vanished into the void.
Before long, the gold-devouring insect appeared in Chen Xuan's hand.
Wow!
The divine thought landed on the Gold-Eating Insect.
After carefully examining the information brought by the Gold-Eating Insects, Chen Xuan couldn't stop sneering.
"That bastard Xin Long seems to be planning to double-cross us. Heh, these guys are probably not ordinary rogue cultivators."
"If I'm not mistaken, they should be a gang of bandit immortals, right?"
"If they don't lay a hand on me this time, I'll pretend I know nothing."
"If they dare to lay a hand on me, I won't let them get away with it!"
Chen Xuan sneered, but quickly regained his composure.
……
Several days later, Chen Xuan transformed into a streak of light and left the cave.
Soon, Chen Xuan appeared directly on a desolate mountain outside Snow Forest City.
Before long, several figures shot towards him.
The leaders were Xin Long and Yu Hui.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, I didn't expect you to arrive so early!"
Xin Long laughed heartily, appearing unusually enthusiastic at that moment.
Chen Xuan remained calm and said, "Fellow Daoists, I have only just arrived myself."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan quickly scanned the crowd.
There were four powerful individuals accompanying Xin Long.
Three men and one woman.
Of the four, only the female cultivator was at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm; the other three were at the late-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.
These people seemed to have smiling faces and appeared to be very easy to talk to.
However, Chen Xuan could clearly sense that the murderous aura emanating from these people was exceptionally strong.
The menacing aura emanating from the scarred man, in particular, put Chen Xuan under some pressure.
"The murderous aura emanating from these people is so strong; either they cultivate some special technique, or they frequently engage in murder and robbery!"
"Hehe, the people of the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect have teamed up with these people. This is going to be quite a show!"
Chen Xuan sneered inwardly, but said nothing more.
Soon, his gaze fell upon the powerful figures from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect led by Yu Hui.
There were four people who came with Yu Hui.
Moreover, all four of them are late-stage Celestial Immortals.
However, although these people were quite skilled, they did not possess the murderous aura that made Chen Xuan feel uncomfortable.
With the introductions of Yu Hui and Xin Long, the group exchanged names.
The four members of the Tianhuang Immortal Sect are Liu Haizhou, Qian Yukun, Zhao Ziqian, and Fu Qian.
Among them, Fu Qian is also a formation master.
This made Chen Xuan take another look at the talisman.
As for the four people on Xin Long's side, they are: Zhou Rumo, Ma Xianglong, Chu Xinghai, and Liu Erniang.
"Fellow Daoists, Golden Spirit Mountain is a full month's journey from here. Let us travel there aboard my Heavenly Mystery Boat!"
As he spoke, Yu Hui smiled smugly.
He immediately took out a low-grade Heavenly Mystery Boat and activated it at high speed.
Wow!
A celestial vessel nearly a hundred feet in size appeared rapidly in the void.
The formation above it was also activated in an instant.
Upon seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Hui, you are truly generous! You even have a Heavenly Mystery Boat for transportation!"
"Although it is only a low-grade Heavenly Mystery Ship, it is still a rare item in our Tianmeng Mountain Range."
"That's right! The cost of building this Heavenly Mystery Ship is quite rare in our Tianmeng Mountains!"
Chen Xuan listened to the praise from the crowd, but his expression remained unchanged.
After all, he possessed a mid-grade Heavenly Mystery Ship.
"Haha, fellow Daoists, let's hurry up and board the ship!"
As they spoke, everyone boarded the Heavenly Mystery Ship.
Soon, under Yu Hui's control, the Heavenly Mystery Ship turned into a blur and disappeared into the world.
Chen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony. He casually found a secret room, went inside, and began his secluded cultivation.
Just over a month later, the speed of the Heavenly Mystery Boat suddenly decreased significantly.
Chen Xuan, who was in seclusion for cultivation, was suddenly awakened.
The next instant, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the Heavenly Mystery Ship.
However, before he could even stand firmly, a terrifying force suddenly flew towards him from the void.
This caused Chen Xuan's body to plummet rapidly.
