Chapter 461: Celestial Extinction Mountain Range

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Celestial Extinction Mountain Range

Ten thousand miles away, Shuofeng City.

About half an hour later, Ji Chen arrived here.

Compared to Yanxian City, the Shuofeng City ahead seemed less grand.

Its scale was not much different from Liu City, where the Yao Family was located.

But it is worth mentioning that Shuofeng City could be said to be a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, with outstanding people in a congenial environment.

A certain Immortal Immortal Country once originated here.

It nestled by the mountains and waters, surrounded by several magnificent mountains, with many sects and church courts established upon the mountain slopes.

A great river ran from south to north, traversing the entire ancient capital.

Ji Chen entered the city.

Soon, he discovered that this place was far livelier than he had imagined.

On the bustling streets, cultivators were countless, and many were discussing strange news and events, as if something significant was about to occur here.

He entered an inn, wanting to hear some indirect information.

Soon, Ji Chen learned that a thousand miles away from Shuofeng City, there was a place called the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, fraught with dangers, and one of the few forbidden lands within Lingzhou.

The perilousness far surpassed that of Jitu Mountain, where Yao Qian had saved him.

"Is the news true? Is it certain that an Immortal Treasure will emerge in the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range?"

"Some say they discovered the tomb of the Undying Immortal Monarch, others claim they saw the Immortal Format, and it might even be the Undying Immortal Scripture..."

"This news definitely cannot be baseless, otherwise, why would so many strong individuals from noble families and the Ancient Immortal Sect have come to Shuofeng City in recent times? It’s likely someone discovered something within the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range."

"I heard that people from the Purple Mansion have arrived. This is one of the ancient immortal sects rarely comparable to the Turquoise Pool among the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm, residing far on the Northern Region Lone Shore, rarely seen by the world for many years. Yet, the impending emergence of an Immortal Treasure in the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range has also alarmed them. This shows the matter is far more complex than we imagine!"

In the tavern, many passing cultivators were discussing, concerned about this matter.

"If the tomb of the Undying Immortal Monarch indeed emerges, it will undoubtedly cause a sensational wave throughout the Immortal Domain, as he is one of the few true powerhouses throughout ancient and modern times!"

Someone mentioned the name Undying Immortal Monarch.

Ji Chen learned from their mouths that any Immortal Monarch was a supreme existence, a person of immense influence from ancient to modern times, a monarch among immortals.

Yu Immortal, from those years, was called an Immortal Monarch.

"An Immortal Monarch’s tomb..."

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, stirred inside.

After his duel with Xu Yan, he realized the powerfulness of the Immortal Scripture and Ancient Immortal Techniques.

If he could obtain an Immortal Scripture and cultivate it, it would significantly enhance his own strength.

Now having arrived in the Immortal Realm, previously mastered Emperor Scriptures were entirely inadequate; to survive in this world full of strong figures, Immortal Scriptures and Ancient Immortal Techniques had become essential.

Hence, upon hearing of an Immortal Treasure discovery within the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, he naturally became interested.

For the next two days, Ji Chen did not leave, but stayed in Shuofeng City, gathering a lot of information about the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

During this time, more and more cultivators came upon learning the news.

Ordinarily rare strong figures from Ancient Immortal Sects, Elder of Noble Families, now were seen everywhere within Shuofeng City.

Besides older individuals, many young prodigies also arrived.

For a time, there was a surging trend, cultivators from various states gathered in Shuofeng City, making it a place of mixed sorts, with all kinds of people present.

Ji Chen was waiting for an opportunity.

Said, even top forces like the Turquoise Pool had sent people, and not forgetting the Purple Mansion.

These big forces were currently recruiting in Shuofeng City, intending to gather cultivators from all sides, then enter the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range together to search for the so-called Immortal Treasure.

Ji Chen was waiting for them to set off and planned to quietly follow from behind.

After all, such forbidden lands were far more dangerous than life forbidden areas in the Lower Realm Plane.

Without these top forces opening the way ahead, ordinary people daring to venture deep on their own wouldn’t have enough lives even with ten thousand to die.

Finally.

On the third day.

Above Shuofeng City, suddenly a large group of figures flew past.

These people all exuded an extraordinary aura; their strength was quite formidable.

"They are strong figures from the Purple Mansion!"

"And from the Turquoise Pool!"

"These big forces finally couldn’t hold back any longer?"

"Go! Follow behind them, enter the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range together!"

Evidently, aside from Ji Chen, many cultivators within the city shared his thoughts.

"Swish!"

In a moment, numerous people swiftly rose, following those big forces, quickly heading towards the direction of the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

Ji Chen went with the flow, blending into the crowd.

Flying out of the city.

About a quarter of an hour later, after flying nearly a thousand miles, Ji Chen descended with the crowd onto the ground below.

This was an boundless mountain range, lush with vegetation.

Ahead, the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range stretched endlessly, it’s said its expanse was never truly explored throughout antiquity.

Now, Ji Chen and the crowd stood at the mountain range’s entrance, occasionally hearing demon beast roars from deep within the mountains, sending shivers down their spines.

Strong figures from the Purple Mansion, Turquoise Pool, and other forces gathered here, and after a brief adjustment, they headed into the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

The following crowd hurried to catch up upon seeing this.

Ji Chen moved within the crowd, walking at the very back, staying vigilant at all times.

To his surprise, upon entering the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, an odd forbidden power enveloped them.

Under this forbidden power, although cultivation remained unaffected, everyone was unable to control the sky and had to proceed on foot into the mountains.

Moreover, this forbidden power could accelerate the loss of life force in everyone.

Now merely at the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range’s outskirts, life was already draining three to four times faster than in the outside world.

The farther in, the stronger this forbidden power pervading the mountains would be, and their life force would drain even quicker!

"Buzz!"

During the journey, suddenly, from the void behind the crowd, a ripple emerged, startling everyone.

Upon glancing back, they saw two massive war chariots, slowly following the crowd, advancing through controlled flight.

"They are war chariots from Turquoise Pool and Purple Mansion!"

Someone exclaimed, then spoke, "It’s said these war chariots are driven by immortal power, unexpected to be unaffected by the mountain’s forbidden power, capable of flying over!"

The two war chariots moved left and right, slowly following behind the crowd.

It’s not hard to deduce that those seated within the chariots must be of immensely noble status.

"It’s rumored the Supreme Elder of Purple Mansion has come, likely in the chariot. This is a figure who shakes the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm, a true top powerhouse of the current age. With such presence along our journey, safety is undoubtedly greatly assured."
