The northern region is vast and boundless, where desolation and monotony are its eternal themes!
The group traversed stretches of red land before finally arriving at their destination.
A massive purple mountain stood before us, like an angry sword piercing the sky!
There was no soil, no vegetation; it was just a rocky mountain!
Its entire body is purplish-brown, as if it were polished from dull purple gold. It is thick and heavy, reaching a height of four thousand meters. It is extremely steep, and ordinary people cannot climb it.
There are many knife marks and sword holes on it, almost weathered and worn away, and can only be seen by careful observation.
On the horizon, nine mountain ranges lie horizontally, like nine real dragons, exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes and solitude.
"Nine dragons arching over a single pearl." Nangong Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Having cultivated the Origin Heaven Book, he could tell at a glance that this place was extraordinary, condensing the power of heaven and earth, and extremely mysterious.
"Nine dragons pulling together, resembling a flying immortal!"
With nine dragon veins pulling it, it seems to be breaking through the sky. Its power can connect Yin and Yang, and create life and death. This place is a magical land of creation.
This place is called Zishan, which is also known as the Ancient Emperor Mountain by ancient beings!
Nangong Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the scene, feeling quite emotional.
This place is indeed extraordinary, possessing an aura of "ascending immortality." No wonder both the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the Great Emperor Wushi chose this location.
"Purple Mountain, I'm back again!" Ye Fan said with some emotion.
As the group approached step by step, the majestic purple mountain inspired awe.
This place holds too many secrets; the supreme deity in the hearts of all ancient races, the Immortal Emperor, is buried here.
"Purple Mountain, the ancient holy site of all races, is where the Immortal Emperor is buried, and even the Great Emperor Wushi ultimately chose this place," Fairy Zixia remarked.
"Come with me," the big black dog said, clearly knowing the place inside and out.
The big black dog chose a dragon vein and went in, with the others following closely behind.
This dragon vein is difficult to traverse, riddled with numerous array patterns, but thanks to the Black Emperor, it was relatively easy.
This is a dazzling starry sky; if you step inside, most people would probably get lost and be unable to see through it. "It's actually a star field!" Ye Fan was dumbfounded. This was different from the way he used to enter Purple Mountain.
"Boy, let me tell you, this is not a real star field, but a miniature star field that the Great Emperor Wushi casually refined back then!" the big black dog said.
Ye Fan and Zi Xia were both somewhat shocked. How many years would it take to fly across a star field?
Two hours later, a black hole suddenly appeared before everyone".
"Go through it, you'll have!" the big black dog said, and then he jumped down.
As everyone followed closely, it wasn't long before Nangong Zheng and his group appeared inside a purple mountain.
The light was dim, and the magnificent buildings seemed covered in dust—ancient roads and caves led in all directions.
They successfully entered Zishan's interior!
"Have we arrived at the deepest part, at the place where the Great Emperor Wushi passed away?"Ye Fan felt somewhat uneasy as he looked at a high platform behind the magnificent palace.
Before them stood a magnificent altar, incredibly tall and shrouded in mist, where a towering figure sat cross-legged, and an aura sent shivers down their spines.
"Da n it, what kind of monster is that!" the big black dog suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide open like copper bells.
"St"p back! That's the ancient ancestral king!" N"ngong Zheng stepped forward, blocking the way for the crowd.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Wasn't the ancient ancestral king equivalent to a saint among humans?
Whoosh!
Two bolts of lightning shot out from the mist, illuminating the dark mountainside, and the figure suddenly opened its eyes.
The figure on the platform exuded murderous intent. Although in human form, it had twenty-four pairs of wings, and its skin was wrinkled and piled up, making it seem as if it were about to pass away.
He was very tall, sitting cross-legged on the platform with his back straight, and his eyes were frightening as he stared intently at Nangong Zheng.
This is an incredibly old being, with all its hair gone, yet it is very sinister, like an ancient demon god.
Suddenly, a deep demonic howl rang out, and the ancient being on the platform pounced forward, attacking mercilessly with devastation. The overwhelming aura of a saint surged like a turbulent sea of stars.
The pressure was unimaginable!
Ye Fan, Zixia, and the big black dog all changed their expressions. A single drop of the Ancestral King's essence would kill a powerful being. If Nangong hadn't been there, he would most likely be in danger.
"How dare you cause trouble in front of me!" Nangong Zheng snarled coldly. The next moment, the Emperor's Banner was filled with dark, eerie energy and a tragic, ghostly aura of wails.
The Emperor's Banner and a giant hand suddenly appeared. The Primordial Ancestral King couldn't react and couldn't grab the hand and drag it into the Emperor's Banner.
The Emperor's immortal Daoist spirit at the Saint King level within the Human Emperor Banner that made the move, instantly subduing this Primordial King.
Soon, the Primordial Ancestral King let out a muffled roar, but then blood flowed out, and he never breathed again.
"Senior, is he dead?" Ye Fan asked in shock.
"It's resolved!" N"It's g Zheng sa"d calmly, putting away the Human Emperor Banner. How could a mere Ancestral King who was about to transform into a Daoist possibly resist an Undying Daoist at the Saint King level?
The eyes of the group widened in disbelief. This was an ancient ancestral king, yet he had been so easily killed!
This place was deathly quiet, with nothing but dusty, magnificent palaces and pavilions; it was not the deepest part of Purple Mountain.
"Keep going, the B"ginningless Sutra is not here!" the big black do" said somewhat sullenly and walked in one direction.
The group followed an ancient path paved with green jade stones, ascended the steps, and arrived at an ancient site. Here, there were ruins of pavilions, withered old vines, and ancient trees.
The water shimmered, and ahead lay a pool carved from green jade, forming a vast expanse of water with white mist rising from it.
"Is this...the Immortal Pool?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.
"You've got good taste, kid. "You've where I bathe," the big black dog said arrogantly, glancing at him.
"The Immortal Pool, what a pi"y!" Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression froze, and he shook his head.
"Boy, what did you say? Believe me or not, I'll suppress you and take yoI'll my pet," the big black dog said, meaningly, its sly movements causing it to bite Ye Fan's arm.
"Did this dog really allow the Great Emperor Wushi?" Fairy Zixia was speechless."It was hard to imagine that a dog that had followed the Great Emperor Wushi would be like this. It really did not live up to the Great Emperor Wushi's reputation.
Nangong ZWushi is speechless. This big black dog was too bizarre. Then he looked into the pool and found a few shiny black hairs, clearly from the Black Emperor's body. Sure enough, the Black Emperor had bathed in the Emperor's pool.
Suddenly, a pleasant fragrance wafted over, making everyone feel comfortable and almost float away.
A streak of fire flashed across the sky, and a dazzling bird flew overhead, its colors so vibrant and almost unreal.
"A bird?"
"That is... the Immortal Phoenix Elixir!"
