State_1
Huangtian State.
One of the most famous forbidden lands in Huangtian State is none other than the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!
There are endless legends about this mountain range.
The most widely known claim is that this range was once an ancient battlefield where a great war among immortals happened, claiming countless immortal lives.
This is the graveyard of immortals.
Outside the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, there are almost no sects, for the range is filled with an evil aura so thick that even Supremes find it hard to linger for long.
However, the Dark Moon Sect is an exception.
The Dark Moon Sect is one of the strongest forces in Huangtian State, and furthermore, it’s located at the mouth of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range.
The Dark Moon Sect is very mysterious. It is said that their method of cultivation is quite peculiar, taking advantage of the evil aura that permeates from the mountains for their practices.Furthermore, the disciples of the Dark Moon sect are all remarkably enigmatic, evoking dread among the people of the outside world!
The Dark Moon Sect is situated at the mouth of the range, with several ancient temples facing the direction of the mountains.
Recently, waves of invisible evil aura have become increasingly dense.
This has caused the leaves on trees nearby to wither, turning the area into a
scene reminiscent of autumn.
At this moment, within the grand hall of the Dark Moon Sect.
“Sect Master, lately, the evil aura emanating from the Burial Immortal Mountain Range has grown even more intense, even containing a bizarre essence, which has greatly benefited the cultivation of all our disciples!”
An elder in a black robe embroidered with three dark-gold crescent moons spoke up.
“My guess is that deep within the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, a topgrade evil corpse may have been born… If we can acquire and refine it, our Dark Moon Sect’s domination over the entire Heavenly Realm would be within reach!”
Excitement and anticipation were plainly written on the elder’s face.
In front of him sat another elder, also clad in a black robe. This elder was bald, but his long eyebrows drooped down heavily.
The embroidery on his robe was that of a dark-gold full moon!
His presence was gloomy and icy, like a corpse that had just emerged from hell.
This man was Yin Yuanchen, the Sect Master of the Dark Moon Sect.
“Indeed… Organize a team immediately and explore the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!”
Yin Yuanchen spoke coldly!
“Yes!”
The elder promptly withdrew.
After the elder left, Yin Yuanchen stood up and before long, he entered a secret chamber.
In the chamber, there was nothing else, just a painting hanging on the wall.
The scroll was grey-yellow with age, quaint and mottled, filled with the marks
of time.
Incredibly, the painting depicted an Immortal Palace!
The palace was magnificent, surrounded by swirling Dao patterns, with various manifested Dao principles encircling the four sides of the Immortal Palace!
It was grand and awe-inspiring.
One could imagine just how splendid the scene depicted in the painting once
was.
“The Burial Immortal Mountain Range… the ancient battlefield, but according to ancient records, this place used to be a Dao Palace. What exactly is hidden inside…”
Yin Yuanchen approached and suddenly stripped off the painting.
Then, holding the scroll, he turned and left.
Before long, the people of the Dark Moon Sect had already assembled in front of the palace gate.
“Follow me into the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!”
He called out loudly!
The entire Dark Moon Sect mobilized.
Quickly, they began to venture deep into the Burial Immortal Mountain Range.
As they barely set foot inside the mountains, weird and eerie sounds began to echo.
It was as if countless resentful spirits were lamenting.
The black evil aura and yin qi almost solidified into a liquid, with ghostly shadows flitting about within it!
“Has this place… awakened? Such a dense evil aura, I’m almost breaking through on the spot!”
“Cultivating here for one day is as good as cultivating outside for an entire year!”
“Ah—have I broken through from the Hollow Void Realm into the Mahayana?
The disciples of the Dark Moon Sect were all exceedingly shocked.
Meanwhile, Yin Yuanchen took a deep breath.
“Be careful, there are many vengeful spirits here, don’t get possessed… follow me!”
He then spoke up.
As they stepped further in, an indescribable sense of sheer terror grew more potent.
It was as though they were approaching a devil about to awaken!
They continued to move forward.
Suddenly ahead, there came a wretched scream!
Even though the disciples of the Dark Moon Sect were well-versed in the ways of the evil aura, they could not help feeling a chilling fear.
“Don’t be afraid!”
In Yin Yuanchen’s hand appeared a green crystal, casting a sickly green light to illuminate the hellish surroundings.
Some of the resentful spirits were repelled by the glow.
A few steps further on, they finally saw the scene before them-
It was an extraordinarily weird sight.
In front, amongst a pile of endless bones, stood a table made of white bones. On the table lay a chessboard.
Opposite the board, there was no one.
But from their perspective, on the white-boned chair sat a… blood-colored shadow!
That blood-colored shadow seemed to be trying to lift the chess pieces from the bone table again and again, but every touch was like a soul-searing strike, eliciting a shrill scream!
“What… What is this?!”
Yin Yuanchen exclaimed in shock.
As if hearing their voices, the blood-colored shadow slowly turned its head.
The moment the blood shadow turned, all the Dark Moon Sect cultivators
present… let out ghastly wails.
“We… We can’t move?”
Someone cried out in surprise.
Every one of the hundreds from the Dark Moon Sect was frozen in place.
“Only those rich in vigorous life force can pick up the chess pieces…
The Blood Shadow murmured softly, and the next moment, it vanished.
“Ah-”
Dark Moon Sect, a young disciple suddenly trembled, and in the next moment, he was able to move again, his eyes filled with a bloody red glow!
He was no longer himself!
He walked over to the table made of bones and sat down.
Then, he picked up a black chess piece.
The chess piece was placed down.
Although there was no one sitting opposite, the chess piece moved on its own.
Shortly after, the black chess lost.
The young disciple suddenly burst into a mist of blood.
And the bloody shadow disappeared in a flash.
Immediately afterward, another young disciple moved and stepped forward!
In just an instant, this young disciple died once again!
The third…
The fourth…
The heart of Yin Yuanchen, Sect Master of the Dark Moon Sect, was trembling.
He realized that the eerily bizarre blood shadow had possessed a young disciple each time.
Then, using their bodies to play chess!
If the game was lost… they would die!
Soon, everyone from the Dark Moon Sect died one after another!
The young people were all dead.
The blood shadow was almost frenzied, unable to defeat the white chess every time, driving it to extreme anger. It possessed body after body, even the aged elders did not escape!
In the end, only Yin Yuanchen remained.
“No… do not, I don’t want to die…”
Yin Yuanchen’s entire body was stiff in fear.
If he were given another chance to choose, he would rather die than come here! But the blood shadow paid no heed to his cries, the next moment, his body stiffened!
Shortly after.
“Yin Yuanchen” walked out step by step amidst the aura of death and Yin Qi.
His aura was so cold and evil to the extreme, his eyes even more so blood-red.
“Thinking you can stop me by setting up a chess game…”
“Yin Yuanchen” spoke with full of resentment, suddenly clenching his fist tightly.
“I may not be able to break through this game, but there will always be someone in the world who can— ”
Suddenly, blood flowed from his clenched fist, seeping into the earth beneath his feet!
At this moment, a series of massive cracks appeared in the Cangli Mountain Range!
Terrifying auras burst forth from beneath the mountain range!
The breath of the forbidden surged into the sky.
The glimmer of treasures illuminated the Sky Domain.
In this swath of sky, streams of black Qi and trails of sacred light intertwined, hovering above the nine heavens!
The terrifying spectacle could be seen throughout the entirety of Huangtian State’s Northern Border!
Huangtian State’s Northern Border was shaken instantly.
“What is that?!”
“From the direction of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range… What has appeared there? What happened?”
All Sect Gates were incredulously speaking.
“Has the Burial Immortal Mountain Range split open? Go and see, there might be a great opportunity hidden there!”
The Saint Master of a Holy Land’s eyes shone with light!
“Looking from afar, it seems both evil and sacred, there must be an incredible opportunity hidden in the midst of danger… Organize a team immediately and head there!”
A family’s head issued the order!
Meanwhile, in the Northern Border, within a secluded mountain range.
There were several low-slung houses with tile roofs, which were surprisingly filled with all kinds of books!
At this moment, several young men in white were rapidly flipping through something in a sea of books.
“Hurry up with the reading. These ancient texts left by our ancestors must contain more secrets…”
The one urging them on was a tattered old man, none other than Ji Yuanqing!
He had returned to Huangtian State.
Although he had already shared his worries with Fire Spirit and others in Xuan Tianzhou, his own concern had not lessened one bit; these past few days, he had organized everyone in his clan to scour through the texts!
“It’s terrible, terrible… Patriarch, there’s been a huge incident!”
At this time, a young man in white ran in from outside, his expression panic- stricken.
“What’s the matter? Running about in such a panic, what kind of behavior is this?”
Ji Yuanqing scolded him, immediately stepping out of the stone house, and in the moment he looked up, his entire being was struck with a mighty shock!
His eyes narrowed in disbelief, exclaiming, “How is this possible… The Burial Immortal Mountain Range has opened like this?”
The young men in white in the stone houses walked out one after another, stunned upon witnessing the scene in the sky!
“Patriarch, what is happening? What does this mean?”
“The opening of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, is the prophecy of our ancestors coming true?”
“No… the arrival of blood and chaos? Will this world be submerged in blood? From the Immortal Domain to the Myriad Realms, are we facing the collapse of heaven and earth…”
The young people spoke one after another, their words trembling with fear! Meanwhile, Ji Yuanqing murmured, “The ancestor once said… The opening day of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range marks the return of the ‘Immortal King’… An era filled with blood and chaos is ultimately about to descend, isn’t it?”
He let out a deep, long sigh and said, “Immediately send a message to the Heavenly Realm, invite young heroes from all sides to seize the opportunity at the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!”
The surrounding disciples nodded their heads, getting into motion at once, their Transmission Crystals lighting up and sending messages across different states…
“Another prophecy by the ancestor, the emergence of the Immortal King brings blood and chaos, yet it also brings hope; the one who seizes the opportunity within will rise with great momentum, quell everything, and establish the First Heavenly Realm anew… I hope we find this person soon!
Ji Yuanqing’s aged eyes were filled with a profound concern!
The news from Huangtian State swiftly spread to the various states of the Heavenly Realm!
It caused a sensation throughout the Heavenly Realm!
