Chapter 486: Chapter 363: Phoenix Inheritance_1

The second brother pondered as if organizing his thoughts, and only a few seconds later he spoke, "Within a radius of a hundred million miles, there lies a famously perilous place!"

"What's that got to do with anything?" Li Cheng said, clearly annoyed.

The second brother coughed dryly, "I haven't finished yet. This perilous place looks like a ten-mile wide basin or perhaps a circular mountain range from the outside, but inside it's vast and fraught with danger. Five million years ago, four Divine Emperors perished within it!"

"But danger often comes with opportunity. There were some who became Divine Emperors there, and even Cultivators with mediocre talent leapt to the pinnacle of demon-like geniuses. Thus, countless Cultivators have been flocking to this place over the years, like moths to a flame."

Apparently worried about being rebuked by Li Cheng again, the second brother quickly finished his piece.

And then an idea suddenly came to him, why not trick Li Cheng into entering the perilous place?

If Li Cheng died in the perilous place, wouldn't that be avenging the fourth brother?

If he died in the perilous place, it would be bad luck on his own part, and it would have nothing to do with Heaven Venerable Mysterious Fire, let alone himself.

"Even Divine Emperors have perished there, it seems to be a place of great danger," Li Cheng commented.

At these words, it seemed to the second brother that Li Cheng probably wouldn't go.

No, he had to come up with a way to lure him in!

"Where is it? Show me the way!"

As the second brother was contemplating his scheme, Li Cheng suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? You want to go?" The second brother was somewhat surprised, but now he didn't need to think of a plan anymore.

Li Cheng looked disgusted, "You're in cahoots with Chen Qingshan, aren't you? You're probably hoping that I'll enter that perilous place. What, you're surprised now that I want to go see for myself?"

The second brother's heart tightened and he quickly said, "Chen Qingshan? You mean one of the Four King Kongs under Heaven Venerable Mysterious Fire's command? I've heard the name, but I don't know him."

The second brother hastily denied any association with Chen Qingshan.

Without waiting for Li Cheng to speak, the second brother continued, "It happens that I will be passing by that place, I'll lead the way. After all, the area is small and cannot be probed with Divine Sense. It's not easy to find without someone guiding."

Having said this, he didn't wait for Li Cheng to agree and left with Instantaneous Movement, intentionally leaving a trace of spatial fluctuation.

Li Cheng naturally had no concerns and followed.

Soon enough, he saw the circular mountain range that the second brother had spoken of!

In front of him, within a ten-mile radius, stood cliffs a thousand meters high, forming a circular ring. Inside, a faint mist obscured the view. As the second brother said, both the circular mountain and the mist inside blocked Divine Sense.

"This is the place, farewell!" The second brother made a fist-and-palm salute and said.

Li Cheng looked at the second brother, "May I have the honor of knowing your name?"

The second brother hastily waved his hand, "Meeting by chance like ships passing in the night, there's no need to know one another."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second brother vanished.

He was more than eager not to be recognized by Li Cheng, so he dared not say his name.

Without paying any more attention, Li Cheng turned to the circular mountain, flying around it once and discovered a tunnel leading into the interior. At this moment, thousands of Cultivators were gathered at the entrance of the tunnel.

Among the crowd, there were surprisingly two existences at the Divine Venerable Realm.

While there were many people gathered, it seemed that they were all hesitant about entering. Li Cheng watched for half an hour but saw no one go in.

Li Cheng took out the Demon Suppression Order and sensed it secretly, surprised to find that the two Divine Venerables were also Demon-suppressing Envoys.

Moreover, by leveraging the Demon Suppression Order, Li Cheng could clearly sense that the distress signal was coming from this circular mountain!

"Fellow Daoist, have you also been drawn here by the distress signal?"

At this point, one of the Divine Venerables sent a message to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng looked over and saw that the two Divine Venerables were a young and an old man. Of course, this was just their appearance; their actual ages were at least several million, if not tens of millions of years old.

The one who sent the message was the child who appeared to be only six or seven years old.

Li Cheng moved instantly in front of them, greeting them with a fist-and-palm salute, "I am Li Cheng, I greet the two fellow Daoists."

"We are the Two Venerables of Young and Old, we greet Elder Li!" The two responded in unison.

Both of them were at the pinnacle of the Divine Venerable Realm, while Li Cheng was at the Complete Divine Venerable Realm. In their eyes, Li Cheng was indeed an elder.

Li Cheng could sense that among the Two Venerables of Young and Old, Venerable Sou cultivated the Path of Death, while the young one cultivated the Way of Life. Although they represented life and death, which were opposites, there was a mysterious connection between them.

These two must have either a strong blood relation or it was due to the Cultivation Technique they practiced.

"I sensed that the distress signal was coming from nearby, so I came to check. Have the two of you discovered anything?" Li Cheng asked.

The Two Venerables of Young and Old exchanged glances, and Venerable Sou spoke, "It is with shame that I say, every few years, Falling Phoenix Mountain explodes with a surge of ice and fire tides. Just before, it was such an ice and fire tide that engulfed a Demon-suppressing Envoy. We two were right here, but we were powerless against the force of the tide and failed to save them."

The young Venerable also looked ashamed and nodded, "It's all because our strength was inadequate!"

Falling Phoenix Mountain? Ice and fire tides?

Li Cheng pondered for a few seconds, then said, "This is my first time here, could you please elaborate?"

Venerable Sou understood, "I see, no wonder Elder Li looks unfamiliar. It's like this, Falling Phoenix Mountain is the most dangerous place in Land's End Mansion. It is said to have existed since a trillion years ago, with no one knowing its origin."

"In the past, every hundred thousand years, Falling Phoenix Mountain's interior would erupt with ice and fire tides, but in recent years, there has been no regular pattern to these eruptions, and they can happen at any time."

"As for the ice and fire tides, it's a perfect fusion of ice and fire energies. Once it enters the body, even ordinary Divine Emperors would meet their doom."

Listening to Venerable Sou, Li Cheng grew interested. Trillion years ago?

That was when Chaotic Yuan Gate dominated the Divine Realm.

Such an ancient and long-standing perilous place had remained unexplored for trillions of years, which showed that this place was indeed no simple matter.
