Chapter 899 The Scepter of the Demon God of the Mountain of No Return
In the next few days, everything was calm.
Ji Tianxing has been staying in Tianxing Palace, retreating in a secret room to heal his injuries.
After five days of exercise therapy, he relied on his strong self-healing power and consumed some miraculous medicines, and his physical injuries were finally healed.
However, the injuries to the soul are difficult to treat with elixirs, and they cannot be recovered quickly in a short period of time.
He could only use the power of Tianbu Pearl to slowly heal his soul.
The effect of the Dzi Bead is very miraculous. After five days of convalescence, most of the injuries to his soul have been restored, and he is no longer seriously injured.
Next, as long as Bu Tianzhu recuperates for another half month, his soul injury will be completely healed.
In the early morning of the sixth day, he ended his retreat and left the secret room.
He first went to Kunwu Palace to check on Ji Ke's injury.
After arriving at Kunwu Palace, he only saw Kunwu but not Ji Ke.
He asked Kunwu and found out that Ji Ke woke up three days ago.
Ji Ke's injuries were no longer serious, so he left the Emperor's Mansion and stayed at Xingyue Manor outside the city to recuperate.
After hearing the news, Ji Tianxing felt somewhat comforted, then said goodbye to Kunwu and left.
He did not go to Xingyue Village to visit Ji Ke in person, it was enough to know that she was fine.
Even if we meet now, it will only increase embarrassment and trouble. It is better to let time dilute all this and talk about it later.
After returning to Tianxing Palace, Ji Tianxing rummaged through the study, looking for books related to nightmares.
He wanted to know more about the nightmare, so that he could at least be on guard and prepared.
The sudden appearance of nightmares proved that the Demon King was probably coming to Zhongzhou, which made him feel even more stressed and urgent.
In twenty days, it would be the day when he and Yunyao would get married, and he didn't want any more twists and turns.
It didn't take long for him to find five ancient history books and biographies, put them on his desk, and read through them carefully.
In these historical biographies, there are scattered records of some deeds and news about nightmares.
Ji Tianxing used the power of his spiritual consciousness to quickly flip through the books. In just three quarters of an hour, he finished reading five ancient books as thick as bricks.
After reading these ancient books, he had a deeper understanding of nightmares.
Although, nightmares are special beings with weird and unpredictable abilities, and can enter and control other people's dreams.
But it's not omnipotent.
At least, it cannot enter the dream of someone stronger than itself.
Because of this, it has used dreams to murder many powerful people for hundreds of years, but it has never dared to provoke the master of the emperor's palace.
In addition, nightmares can enter other people's dreams, but if the dreamer's will is strong enough, it cannot control the dreams.
After understanding these two points, Ji Tianxing suddenly understood.
"No wonder Master Black Feather has always wanted to deal with the Dream Demon, but the Dream Demon never dared to take action against him!
Keke's mind was bewitched by the dream demon. After the dream was controlled, she was immersed in the dream and could not wake up.
When I was seriously injured by the dream demon and was on the verge of death, Keke was filled with grief, anger and despair, and was extremely determined. Only then could she wake up completely at the last moment and end the dream.
In this way, as long as my will is strong enough, even if the dream demon can invade my dream, there will be nothing that can be done to me!"
After understanding this, Ji Tianxing finally felt relieved.
He left the study, returned to the secret room, and continued to practice in seclusion.
He needs to improve his strength as much as possible before the wedding ceremony so that he can cope with various dangers and changes that may arise.
…
To the north of Zhongzhou City, five hundred miles away, are all rolling mountains.
Different from ordinary mountains, these mountains do not have dark green forests and vegetation, only sparse ancient trees and wild grasses.
Most of the mountains are dark brown, with rugged rocks and soil exposed, making them look very desolate and lonely.
Among the many mountains, there is a dark brown mountain with a height of thousands of feet, standing alone like a flock of chickens.
This steep, rocky mountain is called Mount No Return.
Thousands of years ago, when the demon rebellion broke out.
Many brave martyrs from Zhongzhou, full of passion, crossed the Black Mountain and headed to the Northern Desert to fight against the demons.
Although those warriors all know that going to the Northern Desert to resist the demons is a road of narrow escape and no return.
But everyone acted generously and did not fear death.
In the end, countless warriors buried their blood and heroic souls in the Northern Desert forever.
In order to commemorate those warriors and martyrs thousands of years ago, later generations named this Black Mountain Mountain of No Return.
It was late at night, and everything between heaven and earth was silent.
There is no moon tonight, the night sky is as dark as ink, and there is a gloomy cold wind howling.
A wisp of black air that seemed to be absent, cut through the night sky as fast as an aurora, and flew silently towards the Mountain of No Return.
In just one hundred breaths of time, the black energy traveled hundreds of miles and penetrated into the Mountain of No Return.
In the heart of the Mountain of No Return, there is a dark and cold passage that winds and leads to the ground.
There are some forks constantly appearing on both sides of the passage, most of which are old mazes designed to confuse people's minds.
Although there is no one guarding the passage, there are hidden formations and powerful restrictions every few hundred meters away.
If anyone who is unfamiliar with the situation breaks in rashly, they will definitely be strangled by the invisible formation, even the powerful Tianyuan masters are no exception.
"Whoosh!"
That wisp of black energy quickly passed through the passage, ignoring many hidden weapons and formation restrictions, and soon reached the deepest part of the passage.
A black stone door hundreds of meters high blocked the end of the passage.
The two stone doors were tightly closed. On the doors were carved a pair of ferocious demon Shura with sharp claws and wings, which looked solemn and mysterious, with a strong demonic aura.
There is no doubt that the stone gate is sealed by a powerful formation, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to open it.
That wisp of black energy was as light as nothing, passing through the sealing circle and entering behind the stone door.
Behind the door is a huge, empty and dark cave.
The cave is a thousand meters in diameter, surrounded by dark brown rock walls, and the ground is also black rock, slightly uneven.
The air was filled with wisps of magical mist, and a ball of blood like a fireball rose in the middle of the cave.
Under the bloody light, there is a huge magic circle.
The ground is engraved with mysterious demon patterns, criss-crossing lines, and ancient demon symbols.
A demon man who was more than ten feet tall, with two heads and long snow-white hair, was sitting in the formation.
He has a tall and muscular body, his skin is covered with dark dragon scales, and he has a pair of black bone wings on his back, just like the legendary demon Shura.
He is none other than the current leader of the demon clan, the Ancient Demon Emperor.
The Demon King was meditating, and in the bloody ball of light suspended above his head was an ancient scepter about five feet long and as thick as an arm.
The scepter is black in color, with a simple and mysterious shape, and two dark red blood dragons are carved on the handle.
The top of the scepter is carved with a majestic and domineering evil god with three heads and six arms.
This is the legendary demon artifact, the demon scepter inherited from ancient times.
