#704 - A mysterious cave in the Black Mountain
The Myriad Beasts and Rivers Diagram possessed overwhelming power, equivalent to an attack from an Extreme Celestial Realm expert.
The twelve experts from the three major sects of the Celestial Reason Star Region desperately resisted and frantically tried to break free, but to no avail, unable to shake the surrounding mountains that confined them.
Under the crushing of the mountains, the impact of the great rivers, and the attacks of the beasts, they were covered in blood, riddled with wounds, and screamed miserably.
"Chaotic Body, I curse you! Ah!"
An expert cursed with venomous resentment, followed by a miserable scream that abruptly ceased.
That expert was pinned to the ground and torn apart by several ferocious birds manifested by the Myriad Beasts and Rivers Diagram, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.
"Curse? When you slaughtered the geniuses of my Emperor Beginning Star, you should have expected such an end!"
Jun Wuxie sneered, watching them die tragically under the Myriad Beasts and Rivers Diagram, his heart unmoved.
These people were utterly detestable!
In the vast universe, various ancient life stars can interact with each other, but these people are arrogant and superior, arriving only to plunder resources or colonize, bullying the people of Emperor Beginning Star and slaughtering its cultivators, simply practicing the law of the jungle?
Since that's the case, he is now practicing their law of the jungle. According to this rule, his killing them is justice and truth!
Clusters of blood exploded within the area confined by the Myriad Beasts Diagram.
Experts as powerful as Great Celestial Half-Saints were now struggling like ants on the verge of death!
Their screams were extremely tragic, their bodies covered in blood, using every means to try to gain a glimmer of hope.
But all of this was in vain. The moment they were covered by the Myriad Beasts Diagram, their fate was already sealed.
In a short period of time, the area confined by the Myriad Beasts Diagram fell silent.
The runes dissipated, and all the ferocious birds and beasts disappeared into the diagram.
The sky-covering Myriad Beasts Diagram rapidly shrunk, automatically rolled up, and fell into Jun Wuxie's hands.
On the ground, corpses littered the area, a scene of crimson red.
"What a pity, so much blood wasted..."
Jun Wuxie felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly took action to extract the remaining blood from the fragmented corpses of these Great Celestial Half-Saints.
"More than half wasted..."
He sighed, these were all good resources.
The power of the Myriad Beasts and Rivers Diagram was too great, causing these Half-Saints to die without a complete corpse. The blood extracted from the twelve Great Celestial Half-Saints was only equivalent to the amount from three people.
He reached out and sucked the twelve storage rings into his hand, opened them, and saw a large number of pills, Nine-Star Supreme Spiritual Essences, materials, and some Elementary Half-Saint resources.
These resources were useless to him, but they were very good for nurturing people below the Half-Saint level.
Of course, the amount of resources in front of him was too small compared to what he possessed, but even a mosquito has meat, so he happily collected them and casually burned the corpses to ashes before rushing towards Black Mountain.
"I have to hurry. Now that the people from the Celestial Reason Star Region are dead, their sects will probably find out soon, and they will send more people."
Jun Wuxie had already learned that the young master of the Celestial Reason Dao Earth needed exotic soil. Given that young master's status in the Celestial Reason Star Region, the experts from the four sects of the Celestial Reason Star Region would never give up on the exotic soil.
Roar!
Arriving at the foot of Black Mountain, Dragon Vein energy surged out from the earth, condensing into a dragon shape, hovering in the air, like a real flesh-and-blood body, majestic and awe-inspiring. When it roared, its whiskers and mane bristled.
He carefully observed that the amount of Dragon Vein energy here was astonishing, corresponding to the number of Dragon Veins beneath the earth.
The entire Secret Earth, all the mountains and rivers, were individual Dragon Veins, all gathered here and ultimately submerged into the massive black mountain.
He summoned Lan Lan and rode on its back, traveling a distance and carefully approaching the location where the Dragon Vein energy surged out.
The violent air currents swept out as the Dragon Vein energy surged, shattering the space, giving people a feeling of their bodies about to tear apart even from a distance!
The Dragon Vein was strong. The power of a Dragon Vein that had been nurtured to the extreme was equivalent to the peak of the Extreme Celestial Realm!
However, Dragon Veins could not be directly compared to cultivators at the peak of the Extreme Celestial Realm, as they possessed unique properties.
Jun Wuxie took out the Dragon Suppressing Diagram and threw it out.
The Dragon Suppressing Diagram unfurled in the wind.
A large number of Saint Crystal Stones flew out, rushing towards the Dragon Suppressing Diagram, infusing it with energy.
The Dragon Suppressing Diagram instantly grew larger, covering the sky and the sun. The mountains, rivers, forests, and so on instantly lit up, countless runes flashing, forming a massive spatial vortex in the center of the diagram, emanating an indescribable aura.
Rumble!
The earth trembled, and huge cracks appeared on the ground, as if something was about to break out of the soil.
Jun Wuxie's pupils constricted, and he flew into the high sky with Lan Lan, watching as a Dragon Vein, as if summoned, broke through the earth and rushed out. Its form was incredibly solid, like a real great dragon emerging from the abyss. In the loud dragon roar, it swung its dragon body and rushed towards the spatial vortex formed in the center of the Dragon Suppressing Diagram, instantly submerging into it.
The moment the Dragon Vein submerged, a dragon-shaped pattern appeared on the Dragon Suppressing Diagram!
"This is truly a divine artifact for collecting Dragon Veins!"
Jun Wuxie was shocked by this scene. He had originally thought that the Dragon Suppressing Diagram was for suppressing Dragon Veins, but he had not expected that it would directly attract the Dragon Veins into it, and the Dragon Veins did not show any repulsion, actively entering!
"Little Boundary Tree, now I can give you a large number of Dragon Veins. Not only will your recovery speed be improved, but my imperial dynasty's environment will also become better!"
Jun Wuxie rubbed his hands, continuously offering Saint Crystal Stones, injecting energy into the Dragon Suppressing Diagram to maintain its effect, while controlling it, heading towards Black Mountain.
Along the way, Dragon Veins constantly broke through the earth and rushed out, then automatically entered the Dragon Suppressing Diagram, turning into dragon-shaped patterns on it.
He had already refined the Dragon Suppressing Diagram into his own artifact, his mind connected to it, and he naturally understood that those dragon-shaped patterns were the Dragon Veins suppressed inside.
If he needed these Dragon Veins, he only needed to communicate with the Dragon Suppressing Diagram to release them.
As they got closer and closer to the foot of Black Mountain, more than twenty dragon-shaped patterns had already appeared in the Dragon Suppressing Diagram!
"There are even more Dragon Veins inside. If I can collect them all into the Dragon Suppressing Diagram..."
Jun Wuxie didn't even dare to think about it. It was already good if a large power had one top-grade Dragon Vein, and even those Supreme Sovereigns wouldn't have more than three!
But the number of Dragon Veins here was too astonishing, subverting cognition!
Was this formed by the natural environment?
Jun Wuxie felt that the natural environment could never form such a scene, and there were very obvious traces of human intervention.
Who had such a feat, introducing an astonishing number of Dragon Veins into Black Mountain? What was their purpose? What exactly was inside Black Mountain?
He thought of the other areas of the Secret Earth, without any spiritual energy, like a land of the end of Dharma.
Normally speaking, places with Dragon Veins were places with abundant spiritual energy. Obviously, the person who set up the means back then deliberately did this, causing the Dragon Vein energy to not condense and manifest in other areas, and also devouring all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Then, in this Black Mountain, there should be a Dragon Vein spiritual energy so rich that it was unimaginable!
He saw a cave, dark and deep, very large, with traces of excavation, not like it was naturally formed.
The location of this cave was very special, like the entrance to which ten thousand dragons returned to their nests!
What exactly was in Black Mountain? Perhaps the answer would soon be revealed!
He rode Lan Lan to the front of the cave entrance. At this time, the number of Dragon Veins suppressed had already exceeded twenty!
"Why do I feel a kind of evil aura?"
His heart skipped a beat, but he did not hesitate and signaled Lan Lan to move forward.
The cave was huge and spacious, but it was very dark, without any light, and extremely deep.
The cave path was winding.
They traveled along the cave path, constantly going deeper.
During this process, Jun Wuxie remained highly vigilant, but he did not encounter any danger.
However, the evil aura became more and more intense, as if a great evil thing was lurking in the depths of the cave.
The deeper they went, the richer the Dragon Vein spiritual energy inside.
The fur on Lan Lan's neck gradually stood up, obviously sensing danger.
"Continue!"
Jun Wuxie did not give up. They had already come here, and there was no reason to give up halfway. Even if he knew there was danger inside, he had to go deep to find out.
The exotic soil was too attractive to him.
It wasn't necessarily for planting the Dao Harmonizing Flower.
He didn't necessarily need to use the Dao Harmonizing Flower to break through his realm now. The most important thing was that the Little Boundary Tree needed exotic soil.
The Little Boundary Tree had made it very clear that she needed exotic soil to speed up her recovery so that she could better cope with the doomsday torrent in the future.
Five-Colored Exotic Soil was an extremely high-grade exotic soil. If the essence inside had not been lost too much, then it would definitely have a miraculous effect on the Little Boundary Tree!
Gradually, there seemed to be a sound coming from the depths of the cave.
That sound was very strange, like weeping, and like chanting an ancient song, capable of disturbing people's minds.
The moment that sound entered his ears, the darkness in front of him instantly changed, there was light, and various illusions appeared.
His mind shook, and he immediately held his mind, the soul power of the Saint Realm contracted, tightly sealing the sea of consciousness, guarding his original heart!
The illusion disappeared in an instant, and the darkness in front of him was still a piece of darkness.
Lan Lan did not feel any discomfort and was still proceeding cautiously.
Jun Wuxie was deeply shocked. What was that sound that could make his mind instantly lose control?
Fortunately, he had been prepared and reacted in time, otherwise, he might have been completely lost in the illusion. This was still on the premise that he had the soul of the Saint Realm. If he did not have such a powerful soul, even if an Extreme Celestial Realm expert came, they would have to lose themselves!
"This aura, how does it seem like the evil aura of the Darkest Curse?"
As they continued to go deeper, he had a judgment in his heart.
His Fate Star Millstone could restrain the Darkest Curse, but he did not dare to relax.
Gradually, there was a faint light in the dark cave in front of them, the kind of blood-colored light that made people feel palpitation.
They continued to move forward, the blood light sometimes flashing and sometimes extinguishing.
Before long, they finally reached the end of the tunnel and arrived in a very spacious internal space within the mountain.
This was a huge cave, filled with the surging energy of the dragon vein, making it misty inside, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard.
Jun Wuxie activated his Primordial True Eye and looked around the cave.
He saw cave walls with many stone holes, from which large dragons constantly rushed out, scattering into the energy of the dragon vein.
"What is that?"
He saw black iron chains on the cave wall, as thick as arms, deeply embedded in the rock.
There were many such chains on the surrounding cave walls, one end plunged into the rock, the chains stretched taut.
He followed the chains to the center of the cave.
The energy of the dragon vein was particularly dense there, making it difficult to see clearly even with the Primordial True Eye.
Vaguely, he saw a ball of blood-colored light, swaying within the embrace of the dragon vein energy.
At that moment, the evil aura surged like a tide, impacting his mind.
He counted them, a total of ninety-nine thick black iron chains, all connected to the center of the cave from the surrounding rock walls.
At this moment, Lanlan suddenly stopped.
He looked down and saw an abyss in the mist.
There was no solid ground ahead; two steps forward would lead to the abyss!
The position where the iron chains extended from the four stone walls was exactly above the abyss.
The ball of blood-colored light, enveloped by the dense energy of the dragon vein, swayed from time to time, and each time it swayed, the blood-colored light shone brightly, penetrating the mist and illuminating the tunnel they had entered.
"An evil aura, it's that ball of blood-colored light!"
He finally confirmed that the evil aura came from the blood-colored light above the abyss.
However, there seemed to be a mysterious power flowing there, making it difficult for the Primordial True Eye to discern the truth; he couldn't see clearly what it was.
The energy of the dragon vein here was filled with the power of evil; only he could endure it. If anyone else came here, they would not be able to stay for long, and would even be corrupted, turning into monsters without their minds, growing strange hair on their bodies!
"I will first purify the evil power in the dragon vein energy, and then use the Dragon Suppression Chart to collect the dragon vein here. When that time comes, I will try to see if I can clearly see what that ball of blood-colored light above the abyss is!"
Jun Wuxie thought to himself; this was the only way for now. Under unclear circumstances, he must not try to forcibly push aside the mist formed by the condensed energy of the dragon vein. After all, he couldn't see what the blood-colored light was, and it was difficult to predict the consequences of doing so.
