Chapter 1725: Rumors about Imperial Dragon Mountain

Lin Xun was embarrassed. He hadn’t expected at all that the violet figure had not disappeared, and instead had still been watching his every move.

“Take it.”

A chunk of soil that was the size of a cattail leaf fan swept out from the ground.

It looked nothing less than a miracle, being suffused with five radiant lights of green, gold, white, red, and black, and also with rich vitality visible to the naked eye in the form of endlessly churning mist.

“Many thanks, Senior.”

Lin Xun was overjoyed. He hastily accepted the chunk of soil and planted the Sacred Fusang Tree, which had shrunk countless times and was now only the size of a palm, into it.

Rustle~

The fiery red Fusang leaves tumbled, seemingly happy and excited as it glowed with unprecedented spirituality.

Lin Xun carefully put away the soil with the sacred tree in it, then bowed toward the Flat Peach Tree before finally leaving with A’hu.

“It seems like someone was talking with you just now?”

“Yeah, a senior of a very mysterious origin who is acquainted with one of my senior brothers in Fangchun Mountain.”

“I see. No wonder you could climb the Flat Peach Tree.”

“Climb? Are you saying I’m like a monkey?”

“Haha, you said it, not me.”

The two of them chatted as they walked side by side through the mountain that was covered with a peach forest.

As their silhouettes grew farther and faded away, the violet figure quietly watched from the top of the Flat Peach Tree amidst the sea of clouds.

“He holds the Dao Endless Pagoda and inherited the Sacred Combat Art that you left behind, yet he doesn’t even know who I am…

“But he is your junior brother, so I know for certain that one day, just like you, he will tread along the heavens and shake worlds …”

At the thought of this, her lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

……

Upon leaving the Peach Utopia Secret Realm, A’hu suddenly stopped in her tracks and said, “From now on, you must not be so reckless ever again.”

Saying that, she mischievously shot Lin Xun several blinks, and then walked into a portal that led to the outside world.

Her yellow skirt fluttered, nimble and ethereal, just like her person.

Lin Xun was stunned. Then, he smiled, shook his head, and also stepped into that portal.

Buzz~

Accompanied by a strange roar, the Peach Utopia Secret Realm sank into silence.

……

Lin Xun and A’hu had spent a total of just over ten days in the Peach Utopia Secret Realm, but during this, many turbulent and bloody events had played out in the Kunlun Ruins.

As one of the four great dao dominions since ancient times, the Kunlun Dominion buried countless opportunities. Recently, there were constant brutal clashes occurring around some of the lands of opportunity.

Countless experts had fallen and died with regrets.

In the end, only a small portion was able to seize an opportunity in the end.

When Lin Xun and A’hu exited the forest known as the Immortal Ancient Insect Nest, they were greeted with a sensational rumor:

“On Imperial Dragon Mountain, a world-shattering battle took place. A group of experts fought so intensely that the sky was dyed red!”

“Imperial Dragon Mountain is rumored to be one of the nine secret places of the Kunlun Ruins, and whoever reaches the peak will be able to build the foundation to become an Emperor!”

“It’s terrifying up there on Imperial Dragon Mountain where supreme Big Saints have fallen like raindrops!”

……

The entire world was shaken as soon as this piece of news dropped.

Like a storm, it swept through the Kunlun Ruins, striking shock into all the cultivators who were fighting for opportunities in the other areas.

And then, another piece of news soon followed—

“Someone held a Flying Immortal Tablet and climbed to the top of Imperial Dragon Mountain, and suddenly vanished from within the mysterious secret land.”

For a time, the Kunlun Ruins became increasingly turbulent with Imperial Dragon Mountain being the center of attention.

The foundation to become an Emperor!

Such a supreme opportunity could drive any Saint crazy. In the outside world, it would have even caused a bloodbath between the major dao lineages.

This was because reaching the Emperor Stage was so difficult that not a single person had been able to emerge into that stage in thousands of years.

Possessing the foundation to become an Emperor meant one would definitely have a chance to realize their Emperor Dao in the future!

While it seemed to only be a chance, it drew a line that stopped numerous amazingly talented characters on their path to greatness.

This could be seen in the current situation of the world, where there were a big number of quasi-Emperors and half-step Emperors who had lived for countless years. So far, very few had been able to step into the Emperor stage.

Why?

Because they lacked such a chance!

Therefore, one could imagine the uproar when everyone learned that the opportunity on Imperial Dragon Mountain was related to building the foundation for becoming an Emperor.

Even Lin Xun and A’hu were tempted after they heard about it.

“Someone with a Flying Immortal Tablet ascended to the top of Imperial Dragon Mountain. Could it be Imperial Son Shaohao or Ruowu, or one of the others?” Lin Xun’s heart stirred.

“Should we go and take a look?” suggested A’hu.

“Many cultivators have gathered there, and blood has flowed into rivers. It has become the most discussed place in the Kunlun Ruins. If we go there now, it will definitely be very dangerous.” Lin Xun was a bit hesitant.

He wasn’t actually scared; he just thought that it was already too late to act now. Since someone else had already beaten them to be the first to reach the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain, following behind them would only do more harm than good.

A’hu mused, “As far as I’m concerned, the commotion from Imperial Dragon Mountain isn’t necessarily related to an opportunity to build an Emperor foundation. Most of the time, we should only believe what we see, not what we hear.”

Lin Xun asked in surprise, “What do you mean by that?”

A’hu explained, “As one of the nine most famous grounds in the Kunlun Ruins, the Imperial Dragon Mountain has been explored by many experts, but I’ve never heard of anyone building an Emperor foundation there.”

Lin Xun was staggered. “You suspect that it’s fake news?”

“Hard to say,” said A’hu. “Didn’t they say that someone who reached the peak of Imperial Dragon Mountain while possessing a Flying Immortal Tablet had entered a mysterious secret realm?”

Lin Xun’s gaze became serious. “So it’s possible that someone deliberately spread that to lure those who have a Flying Immortal Tablet to Imperial Dragon Mountain?”

His speculation in turn stunned A’hu. She said, “That’s possible. After all, having a Flying Immortal Tablet in the Kunlun Ruins is the same as having a trump card for exploring dangerous taboo lands. Anyone would covet one.”

A bad feeling welled up in Lin Xun’s heart. “If my guess is right, then the news that came out from Imperial Dragon Mountain is actually a trap for people who possess a Flying Immortal Tablet…”

Saying that, his eyes flashed with determination. “No, I have to go there to see for myself if that’s the case.”

A’hu frowned. “If it’s really a bait, then wouldn’t you be throwing yourself into their trap?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “I’m not afraid of that. I’m more worried about my friends who may have entered the Kunlun Ruins with a Flying Immortal Tablet in hand. It’d be too dangerous if all that news about the opportunity to build an Emperor foundation attracts them to Imperial Dragon Mountain.”

A’hu instantly understood. “Then I’ll accompany you.”

Lin Xun said, “That’d be great!”

The two immediately set out.

The location of Imperial Dragon Mountain could be easily obtained since the Kunlun Ruins was currently filled with information about this place.

“Everyone, have a look.”

“What a handsome Golden Winged Dapeng. This one should be a pureblood, yet it was actually pressed against the ground by Gu Cangxin with one foot and heavily wounded.”

“This is the latest news from Imperial Dragon Mountain. They said that this Golden Winged Dapeng had a Flying Immortal Tablet and intended to sneak up to the top, but got suppressed by Gu Cangxin in one fell swoop!”

On the road, Lin Xun came across a group of cultivators who were discussing something, and one of them was holding a smooth and clear copper mirror.

Golden Winged Dapeng?

Lin Xun’s heart jumped. He spread his spirit sense and immediately saw what was being projected on that copper mirror.

A black-robed Gu Cangxin stood coldly on a mountain rock with a foot stepping on a Dapeng bird with dazzlingly golden feathers. Riddled with injuries and suffering broken wings, the latter’s blood was flowing.

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank. That looks like Little Golden Winged Dapeng King!

“It’s really a setup?”

Lin Xun’s heart tightened. Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was actually restrained by Gu Cangxin? What about Imperial Son Shaohao, Ruowu, and the rest of them? Have they been met with misfortune as well?

“Hm?!” Lin Xun trembled a little when he noticed a piece of an iron rod not far away from Little Golden Winged Dapeng King.

Yuan Fatian!

Lin Xun remembered it to be Yuan Fatian’s treasure. But now, it was broken.

Yuan Fatian and the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King were best friends. Since one of them was suppressed and the other’s weapon was destroyed, they must have suffered something extremely terrible!

Anxiety surged in Lin Xun’s heart.

He could conclude that the so-called news coming from Imperial Dragon Mountain was a setup, a deliberate attempt to lure over those who were in possession of a Flying Immortal Tablet!

Lin Xun knew that he could not delay any longer. Together with A’hu, he traveled toward Imperial Dragon Mountain at full speed.

Back in the Nine Domains Battlefield, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, Yuan Fatian, Shaohao, Ruowu, and everyone else had fought alongside him. They had bathed in the enemies’ blood and had desperately defended the Ancient Wasteland Domain together.

They had also drank wine, discussed the dao, and laughed together. They were life-and-death friends!

Now that Lin Xun saw them in a humiliating, distressing situation, how could he not be anxious and angry?

“Those bastards! Do they really think that I don’t dare to kill them?” Lin Xun’s eyes were terrifyingly chiling.

Imperial Dragon Mountain, where snow piled up all year round, was majestically gargantuan and extensive with its towering height covered in fog.

These days, this place had stood witness to an endless flow of blood and constant conflicts of the most intense degree, all because of a rumor about a supreme chance to build an Emperor foundation. It had become the eyes of the storm where countless cultivators had their eyes on.

However, this mountain was worthy of its reputation as a divine mountain in the Kunlun Ruins. No matter how fierce the conflict got, it stood strong like immortal steel and had never suffered from breakage or collapse.

It was just that a great part of the white snow had been dyed a piercing red color.

When Lin Xun and A’hu approached the area, they unexpectedly ran into quite many cultivators who were going back from the direction of Imperial Dragon Mountain.

Some were crestfallen, some looked gloomy, and some showed resentment and hatred…

After a little inquiry, Lin Xun discovered that Imperial Dragon Mountain had been completely blocked off by the Primordial Dao Court, Heaven and Earth Dao Court, Blood Qilin Battle Clan, Taowu Battle Clan, and several other big powers. Their disciples had joined hands to prohibit other cultivators from climbing it!
