Episode 501: Looking for Jade, Zishan!
Xuanyue Cave is one of the small sects in the area near Zishan. However, although this sect is small, it is very famous because, according to legend, it was once the place where Emperor Wushi lived in his later years.
Kill what should be killed, let what should be released. After the masters of Taixuan Sect cleared the small sect that was entrenched here, Jiang Chen had just arrived on the imperial chariot. Then, he entered the mountains under the guard of a large number of soldiers.
Xuanyue Cave has many ravines, long streams, ancient trees cover the sun, fairy vines form bridges, built between each cliff, becoming a pathway. In front of it, there is an ancient cave where time is like water, and the void is like sound, as if it is flowing out from there.
"The way is vast and ignorant, the mind is casual and unrestrained, and the things are stacked but nothing is wrong."
There are only these three sentences next to the ancient cave and on the cliff. As time goes by, the handwriting is almost wiped out. I don’t know how long it has been.
"Well, it should be here." Jiang Chen fully utilized his part-time tour guide and said to the people who were accompanying him: "Look, those three sentences were left by Emperor Wushi. Although it has been more than 100,000 years, there is still a little bit of the emperor's artistic conception on the characters. Whether you can realize anything depends on your own luck."
"The words left by Emperor Wushi?!" Everyone was shocked, and they were attracted by the three lines of words on the stone wall. However, after the opportunity was said, the origin was vague and uncertain. Although the people present were all masters above the level of the Holy Lord, there were only a few people who could see a little mystery.
Ignoring them, Jiang Chen held the fragments of the Emperor Jade in his hand and stepped forward straight into the stone cave. The Emperor Jade in his hand became hotter and hotter. The cave swayed gently, and the stone skin cracked and kept falling off.
The ancient jade was filled with light and flowing into the cave. Stone chips flew and dust everywhere. He stepped forward, as if he was under the starry sky tens of thousands of years ago.
The fragments of Emperor Jade are not ordinary. I saw the disks flowing on it, becoming more and more misty and gradually hot, illuminating the ancient cave. It seemed that a broken historical scroll gradually spread in front of Jiang Chen's eyes, and an illusory figure appeared and disappeared, and it was uncertain.
"Looking at the road to break the immortals, there are no ancients in front and no coming from behind, and there are no thieves in the future."
This is the imprint of Emperor Jade fixed. The words of the emperor from a long time ago made people feel excited, but more of them were sighing. They could not open the road to the immortal realm and could not obtain real immortality. Even the ancient emperor could not resist the invasion of time.
The sound was still ringing, just like the Great Emperor Wushi was explaining the martial arts, but after saying a few words, he suddenly stopped. The cave completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared, without beginning or end.
Jiang Chen captured some fragments of the remaining exercises from the darkness. Unfortunately, the Emperor Jade was not complete, and the time interval was too long, so he could not get much useful things. Fortunately, those remaining imprints still allowed him to feel a kind of Taoist charm, and his spirit and body were bathed in holy light, and he received an indescribable baptism.
The Emperor Jade was still glowing and did not dim. Jiang Chen followed the jade light and looked forward, but saw the stone cliffs ahead, with short mountains one after another, with fairy vines forming bridges, connecting from one cliff to another, quiet and plain.
Walking forward, passing by stone mountains, walking towards the flowers and plants, and coming to a secluded place. Jiang Chen held the ancient jade in his hand, searched forward with his feelings, and finally came to the deep valley behind Xuanyue Cave. After arriving here, the imperial jade became brighter and hotter, and wanted to fly away.
This is a waste valley, filled with debris, medicine residue, broken furnace, rust sword, and cracked Taoist talisman. This is a waste valley for discarding things.
"It seems that it's here!" Some fragments of the reincarnation plot appeared in Jiang Chen's mind. Then he frowned slightly, and a huge invisible and tangible divine power poured out. In an instant, the garbage turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving only a piece of broken ancient jade still flowing.
He raised his hand gently and sucked the broken jade, just in time to close the imperial jade in his hand.
"It's a pity that although Emperor Jade is good, it's not easy to collect it. Fortunately, the divinity of the emperor is retained, which is also a good treasure. Well, at that time, I will hand over the task of collecting Emperor Jade to Ye Fan. As the son of fate, this kid may be much better than me." Jiang Chen blushed and found an excuse for his annoyance.
After getting what he wanted, Jiang Chen immediately took a large number of subordinates to Zishan.
In legend, Zishan is the tomb of Emperor Wushi, guarded by the nine dragons, majestic and vast, but there is a demonic power. Over the years, countless people have come to explore this mountain, and they all have nowhere to go. Even if you are the peerless lord and the worldly god king, it will be in vain.
Shortly after the group entered the mountain, a mural came into view.
Although the fighting scenes of this mural that lasted more than 100 meters in the middle have been erased, even so, it still makes people frightened. What kind of scene is this? Ancient creatures can only crawl at his feet, and their postures like gods will shine!
Only the Emperor has such power!
Ancient creatures, countless ancient creatures can only beg for life under his feet!
The ancient creatures that were produced in the divine source were extremely powerful and were feeding on human race as their blood, and they were not his enemy in one move!
Everyone was in a very exciting mood at this time, and the human race was also so powerful back then!
This is my human race!
After a brief amazement, everyone continued to follow Jiang Chen forward and gradually penetrated into the Zishan Mountain. As they passed along, they could see all kinds of strange and strange things.
The humanoid creature is two meters tall, with four meters spreading its wings, sharp claws like swords, shining with cold light, and gray animal hair all over its body, and its wings are fleshy wings.
This thing is called a demon bat, which lives underground. Wherever there are demon bats, it must be a place of great evil.
Jiang Chen and his group met a large group of people, composed of thousands of demon bats, each with extraordinary momentum. However, in front of Jiang Chen, they were as weak as ants, and were easily swallowed by him and turned into nutrients for the growth of the Xuanhuang true body of the heaven and earth.
On the road, there were endless white bones, densely packed, everywhere, and all over the passage. There was also the howling wind and the shadows were scattered. Among the piles of dry bones, hazy ghost shadows appeared, making them even more hideous and terrifying.
However, all this was not an obstacle for Jiang Chen and his group. They stepped by and continued to move forward. Soon, a bright world appeared before their eyes. There was no darkness here, and the soft light flowed, and a peaceful and holy place, just like a holy land fairyland.
The source air blew, and the flowing light was overflowing. A crane spread its wings, as if he had not seen everyone flying in the ancient mine.
This is a strange phenomenon caused by the heavy source energy. Many practitioners may not see it in their lifetime, but at this moment, it is presented to everyone without reservation.
"roar!"
With a loud roar, everyone immediately saw a ground dragon, lizard body, and dragon scale armor crawling past not far away, and its huge body looked very heavy.
Just ahead, there are two big holes that are not deep. One is soaring into the sky, and the energy is constantly rolling upwards. The other is soaring into the sky, which is even more terrifying than the sharpest sword light, making people tremble. The two are very close to each other, and there is a dead silence around them.
These two black holes are very similar to the Yin and Yang eyes in the Tai Chi diagram. If you draw a circle around them, it is simply a natural Tai Chi diagram. In fact, they are indeed operating like this. The hole that emits the source energy is surrounded by bone fossils, and the evil energy is lush. The hole that emits the evil energy is shining around, and the source stones are everywhere.
Carrying yin and embracing yang, carrying yang and embracing yin, this is completely a natural Tai Chi diagram, not artificially engraved, this is the great power of nature.
The Tai Chi diagram is sometimes completely covered by evil energy, and sometimes completely covered by source energy. It is not always the flow of yin and yang, and occasionally lonely yin and yang will be produced, becoming single poles. The sword energy emitted in this way is even more terrifying. That kind of terrifying fluctuation can instantly kill Taoist palace cultivators.
However, Jiang Chen and his group were at least masters at the level of the Holy Lord. With Jiang Chen's intentional protection, there was no problem crossing this barrier.
After passing through the barrier, everyone truly entered the interior of Zishan. It was not as desolate as outside. Green jade was the stairs and white jade was the gateway. There were countless palaces, palaces, pavilions, all of which were carved from ancient jade, and they could be called jade halls, but the building was gone and there was no word left.
At the end of this building, more than a dozen blood jade steps lead to a deep cave, where is the passage to the depths of the core of Zishan Mountain. On the purple stone wall next to it, there is a line of large characters engraved:
"The God King Jiang Taixu accidentally entered the Demon Mountain and decided to get a glimpse of the truth!"
Continue to move forward, and within a few steps, everyone saw another line of handwriting engraved: "Li Mu, a casual cultivator, explores the Demon Mountain."
Five steps away, a line of beautiful handwriting is like a lotus in the water, fresh and refreshing, as if there is life: "Yang Yixun, the Saint of Yaochi"
After walking for only forty or fifty steps, everyone had seen more than thirty lines of engravings in a row. Some famous names were very old and had disappeared in the Eastern Desert for tens of thousands of years. Among them, the oldest line of engravings, even marked with dates, are more than 70,000 years old.
In the end, everyone saw the last line, with not deep marks, which was obviously insufficient in skills and could not be compared with others: "After Master Yuan Tian, Zhang Jiye stayed in front of Emperor Mountain."
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to outline it, leaving a line of engravings on the stone wall: "Jiang Chen, the leader of Taixuan, led his people to visit Emperor Mountain!"
In the seemingly ordinary handwriting, an immortal force flowed faintly, suppressing all the messages on the stone wall. Once activated, it is the most terrifying attack technique. Even if a strong man at the level of a saint encounters, if he is protected by the Wuji Dao Emperor's weapon, he can only die under this force.
