Ji Tianxing stood motionless on the back of the black dragon, staring at the giant shadow on the horizon.
Although his face was expressionless, his deep eyes were full of complex expressions.
He didn't need Zhibai and Shouhei to remind him that the giant shadow was Tianzhu Mountain.
In fact, his familiarity with Tianzhu Mountain far exceeds that of knowing white and keeping black.
Thousands of years ago, he traveled across the entire Shenwu Continent from west to east and practiced asceticism in the world for more than twenty years.
Challenge all races, strong men and top geniuses from all over the world along the way, win consecutive battles without losing a single match!
Until finally, he came to this vast and vast mountain range.
After searching for half a month, he found the legendary backbone of the continent, the Optimizing Pillar—Tianzhu Mountain!
Then, with only a few followers, he occupied Tianzhu Mountain and opened up a dojo and a holy palace.
Tianzhu Mountain is isolated between heaven and earth. Although it is the highest peak and the backbone of the entire continent, it cannot gather the spiritual energy of the world.
So, he used his magical power to change the sky and change the pattern of the 108 peaks around Tianzhu Mountain.
Those one hundred and eight peaks formed a Tiangang Xingluo Formation and an Earthly Evil Spirit Praying Formation.
With Tianzhu Mountain as the center, everything within a radius of 100,000 miles is covered by these two formations, forming a rare martial arts holy land in the world.
Later, he made a shocking statement that he would challenge all the martial saints in the world on Tianzhu Mountain.
Within the next twenty years, martial sages from all races in the world came one after another to fight with him on the top of Tianzhu Mountain.
The result is undoubtedly that he defeated all the martial saints who came to challenge him and became famous in Shenwu Continent!
Since then, the name of the Sword God has spread to every corner of the Shenwu Continent and is respected by the world.
Every day, countless aspiring young people and warriors rush to Tianzhu Mountain from all over the world, just to study under the Sword God.
Tianzhu Mountain has also become more prosperous and has become a first-class sect in the world, with a power base second only to the three major divine kingdoms.
However, after he left, the former prosperity gradually withered.
Today, Tianzhu Mountain has been reduced to a second-rate force and has been forgotten by the world.
Ji Tianxing stood on the back of the black dragon, looking at the giant shadow that was getting closer and closer to the sky. Countless memory scenes appeared in his mind, and his mood became a little lonely and emotional.
Zhibai and Shouhei saw that he was silent and noticed that his aura was quite weak, so they both shut up.
But the two of them had no idea what Ji Tianxing was thinking.
They only thought that Ji Tianxing was in a low mood because he was worried about the crisis in Tianzhu Mountain.
After a hundred breaths, the black dragon flew near Tianzhu Mountain and stopped thousands of feet above the ground.
As he got closer, Ji Tianxing could see it more clearly.
The Tianzhu Mountain in front of him was a little different from when he left it.
This giant peak, which covers an area of several hundred miles and is ten thousand feet high, is no longer surrounded by spiritual energy and dominates the world as it did in the past.
Back then, this giant peak had a clear river coiled at the foot of the mountain, like a crystal belt of pearls and jade.
The entire mountain peak is shrouded in a thin layer of colorful spiritual light, and even in the dark night, it will flash with colorful dazzling light.
Between the steep rock walls and in the vast sea of white clouds, groups of cranes flew by from time to time, emitting clear and high-pitched calls.
There is also a colorful waterfall containing spiritual power on the top of the mountain, pouring down from the cliff, like a rainbow hanging on the mountain wall.
Not only that, the nearly straight rock wall is also covered with vines and various small trees.
Those very spiritual vines and small trees will produce fragrant and delicious spiritual fruits, emitting a refreshing green wood aroma.
All in all, Tianzhu Mountain back then was like a fairyland on earth, like a sacred mountain where gods lived.
But now... the entire giant peak is a little gray, has lost its spiritual luster, and seems to be covered with a layer of dust.
There are only a few vines and trees on the bare rock walls, exposing large areas of gray-brown rock.
The foot of the mountain is covered with withered yellow leaves, and even the large river that surrounds Tianzhu Mountain has long been blocked by boulders and silt, turning it into a lifeless pool.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and a thought flashed through his mind.
"As long as the Tiangang Disha Formation is still in operation, a hundred thousand miles away will be the holy land of martial arts and paradise.
But in this situation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin...
Could it be that the two large formations I set up back then have been destroyed?"
He had a bad premonition in his heart and his face became even colder.
The black dragon carried him upwards, leisurely through the sea of clouds, and flew to the top of Tianzhu Mountain.
Tianzhu Mountain is too high, more than two thousand feet above the ground, and is covered by the sea of clouds.
The mountain exceeds the sea of clouds and is eight thousand feet high. It is definitely the highest in the world!
Standing in the sea of clouds and looking around, you can see a very spectacular scene.
Under everyone's feet was a vast sea of white clouds, and there was nothing in all directions. Only Tianzhu Mountain stood in the sea of clouds, with its top connected to the flawless blue sky.
While flying upward, Ji Tianxing thought of some past events.
“Back then, I chose to open a dojo here because, firstly, this place was the Optimus Pillar, which symbolized the special status of being isolated and lofty.
Secondly, Tianzhu Mountain is so high that it is so straight and steep that even ordinary birds cannot climb to the top.
The idle people want to come to learn from the masters, but they can’t even reach the top of the mountain, so they will naturally retreat and avoid the trouble of assessment..."
It is true that at that time, the name of the Sword God spread throughout the world, and countless geniuses came here to learn from him.
Anyone who can reach the top of the mountain is the best among his peers.
Anyone who can pass the three levels of assessment is a martial arts genius who is one in a million.
Therefore, none of the disciples under the Tianzhu Mountain Sect are mediocre!
After a while, the black dragon flew to the top of Tianzhu Mountain despite the strong wind as sharp as a knife.
The top of the mountain is an open space with a radius of a hundred miles, and the terrain is quite flat.
In fact, when the Sword God came here, the top of the mountain was rugged and covered with jagged and strange rocks.
The height of Tianzhu Mountain actually reaches 10,300 feet.
In the eyes of the Sword God, nine is the ultimate, and too much is not enough.
It is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet tall, which means that it is unrivaled in the world and has the best martial arts.
So he slashed his sword and cut off four feet of the mountain top, turning it into a flat land.
In the middle of this clearing, he built an ancient holy city.
The Holy City is not big, but it has eighteen splendid palaces and thirty-six magnificent mansions.
Around the ancient holy city, there are artificially arranged jungles, medicinal gardens, mountain peaks, etc., as well as zoos for raising spiritual beasts.
At that time, there were more than a thousand disciples and servants here, living in the holy city, as if they were among the gods isolated from the world, how carefree and happy they were!
This is the holy mountain closest to the sky. You can touch the sky and pick off the stars with your hand, which is the most unique place.
In the mind of the Sword God, this is his favorite holy land for training. Even the kingdoms of the three great martial gods cannot compare with it.
However, thousands of years have passed.
When he set foot on Tianzhu Mountain again and saw the scene in front of him, his eyebrows were furrowed and a cold light emerged from his eyes.
