Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Encountering the Jade Pool Divine Lady Again

Ever since the news of the imminent emergence of the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb spread, countless people have been paying close attention to this place.

Even ancient Immortal Sects like the Purple Mansion, which reside far in the Northern Region, have been stirred into action.

From this, one can see how enticing the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb is to the world.

After all, the Undying Immortal Monarch was, in the annals of history, the existence whose cultivation most closely approached the ’Heaven-Reaching Divine Realm’.

It is rumored that the Heaven-Reaching Divine Realm is truly the pinnacle of the Great Dao, the ultimate and supreme realm in the world.

Only those who truly reach this realm can attain true immortality and share the lifespan of the heavens!

Yet throughout history, no one has ever been able to reach such a level.

Even those Immortal Monarch-level powerhouses who were astonishing in history were ultimately stopped before the Divine Road.

Does eternal life truly exist in this world?

In Yanxian City, within the Immortal Spirit Manor, Yu Immortal, who had transformed into human form, once questioned this under the starry sky.

...

Half a day later, Ji Chen was traveling alone through the forest, heading westward.

Finally, ahead of him, a vast open ground appeared.

Although this place also had exceedingly lush vegetation, it was not surrounded by mountains, like a basin, vast and boundless.

Upon arriving here, Ji Chen noticed that the speed of life’s passing within him had accelerated considerably.

Furthermore, as he stepped onto this open ground, he sensed that the Forbidden Power permeating this area was wholly different from anything he had encountered before.

In such a place, his cultivation was directly suppressed to a state of nullity, his Spiritual Sea was calm without a ripple, and not even a single thread of Spiritual Power could be mobilized.

Even a Hongmeng Body could not withstand the intrusion of this Forbidden Power; Ji Chen had no doubt that everyone who arrived here experienced the same.

To him, this was definitely good news!

After all, among those who entered the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range this time, there were too many powerful figures from Ancient Immortal Sects like the Turquoise Pool and the Purple Mansion, with Immortal Realm Great Powers lurking in the shadows, yet to show themselves.

If the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb truly manifested here, without doubt, when fighting for opportunities, no one would be able to contend with them.

But now it’s different; everyone’s cultivation has been suppressed to a state of nullity, and Ji Chen, possessing a Hongmeng Body and having achieved emperorhood in the flesh, had an absolute advantage!

Thinking this in his heart, Ji Chen did not dare to be too careless.

After all, the Immortal Realm is vast as clouds, with countless prodigies and powerhouses.

There must be many others like him with Special Physiques, and if he encounters one, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

As time passed, more and more cultivators appeared, all pouring into this open ground.

It seemed everyone who ventured into the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range had received the news and was relentlessly heading here.

Ji Chen knew it likely wouldn’t be long before this place was packed with people.

He hesitated not and proceeded alone, but due to the overwhelming influx of people, now and then he would see some cultivators in the dense forest surrounding him.

Everyone was exploring this region on their own, hoping to find something.

"Is this really the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb site? It doesn’t look like it."

"Logically speaking, most tomb sites are located atop high mountains, not to mention an Immortal Monarch’s Tomb. Why would he bury himself on this open ground?"

"It is said that powerhouses from ancient Immortal Sects like the Purple Mansion and the Turquoise Pool have already used special methods to investigate, and this place is definitely the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb site."

"We need to find the tomb chamber quickly. I have a feeling this place is eerie, and the Forbidden Power has suppressed our cultivation to an absolute null state. If something happens, we’ll all die here."

Along the way, many cultivators were discussing as they walked and stopped, exploring while continuing to advance deeper, fearing they might miss some Secret Treasure along the way, yet also fearing that someone might beat them to it ahead.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed through the forest.

Many people were startled, looking toward the dense forest ahead, where a Demon Beast appeared with a body like a flood dragon.

Its massively large body twisted, leveling a large area of ancient trees.

"Desolate Dragon Python!"

Someone exclaimed, their expression changing drastically.

The Dragon Python was entirely covered in a kind of black Scale Armor, extremely hard. Although it wasn’t as powerful as the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon, its black Scale Armor’s defensive capabilities were said to be on par with the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon!

Even an Immortal’s attack couldn’t easily break through its defense.

"Go!"

Without thinking twice, all the cultivators hurriedly retreated or detoured, avoiding the Dragon Python’s sight.

Spending time entangled with a Demon Beast in the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb site clearly wasn’t wise.

Besides, the Dragon Python’s defensive power was astonishing. Even those in the Harmonization Immortal Realm wouldn’t want to tangle with it and waste their time.

Ji Chen likewise didn’t hesitate, almost immediately circling around to the left side of the forest intent on quickly leaving this area.

Continuing deeper into the mountain, Ji Chen soon left the area where the Dragon Python appeared.

Along the way, besides the Dragon Python, Ji Chen encountered many other Demon Beasts residing in the mountain, all possessing formidable strength.

He avoided them when possible.

He didn’t want to stir up trouble nor waste his time here.

And certainly, others in the mountain shared this mindset.

After all, in this tomb site, everyone’s cultivation was suppressed to a state of nullity, making it impossible to endure the attacks of these Demon Beasts. If faced head-on, fleeing would be the only choice.

Reaching the entrance of a deep valley, Ji Chen could sense an unusual aura flowing from within.

"Buzz!"

Not far from him came a wave of energy, accompanied by the mournful cry of a Demon Beast.

Looking over, he saw a graceful silhouette standing upright.

It was a woman in a long dress, stunningly beautiful, unmatched in elegance.

Her face was veiled, making it hard to see her true appearance, but beneath the veil was a face that would drive all men mad with desire.

"Jade Pool Divine Lady!"

Someone exclaimed, recognizing the woman’s identity.

Ji Chen frowned, also looking toward her.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady held a sword in her hand, an Immortal Weapon. She had just slain a Demon Beast and now stood at the entrance of the valley.

"I need to recruit a few people to enter the valley with me. Is anyone willing to join?"

She sheathed her sword and scanned the crowd with her beautiful eyes, her voice melodious yet slightly stern.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but furrow their brows, glancing at each other.

Clearly, they could sense the unusual aura in the valley, likely indicating the presence of some great threat.

While the opportunity was tempting, they needed to live to claim it, no?

With such thoughts, the crowd remained silent, clearly unwilling to take the risk.
