Chapter 1185: Chapter 1184: A Glance That Nearly Cost My Life

[Dear readers, I love you all, please cast a few monthly votes, (*^__^*) hehe...]

”I haven’t decided yet, let’s wander around first and find a safe place!” Ye Tianchen said casually.

”Huh? You haven’t even decided, and you’re making me move house... Ah!” Xiao Ling’s words were cut short with a scream because Ye Tianchen had already taken off.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen was fully loaded with bags and carrying Xiao Ling on his back, quickly using his ”Divine Movement Skill” to fly through the sky. He really hadn’t figured out where to go yet, only knowing that by now all the major inheritances should be aware that the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s egg was stolen. The inheritance above this Ancient Martial World of Penglai is probably much more powerful than some inheritances of the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World, so Ye Tianchen dared not take it lightly. He didn’t mind himself, but when it came to Xiao Ling, he had to ensure her safety and couldn’t let her fall into danger. Without ensuring Xiao Ling’s safety, Ye Tianchen couldn’t explore the entire Penglai Ancient Martial World by himself to learn about its situation, let alone find the headquarters of the Blood Killing Organization!

All the way, Ye Tianchen flew at high altitude, constantly probing below with his powerful Divine Thought, wanting to find a safe place before descending. However, after wandering for about an hour and covering a great distance, he still hadn’t found one. The entire Penglai Ancient Martial World seemed like a barbaric land; that such a place could be called an Immortal Realm indeed puzzled Ye Tianchen. He had also thought, could it be that because it is a barbaric land, many incredible things were preserved here, and that’s why it’s hailed as ”Penglai Fairy Island”? This was the question in Ye Tianchen’s heart.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen stopped abruptly, standing dumbfounded in mid-air, staring far ahead, motionless, awestruck. Before Ye Tianchen was a towering mountain reaching the clouds. This mountain wasn’t exceedingly large, more like a conical object, like a cone-shaped iron bar standing tall in the Penglai Ancient Martial World. From halfway up the mountain, an inexplicable white fog enveloped it, reaching all the way to the summit, which pierced into the clouds, unattainable and out of sight. It was truly astonishing, giving one a sense of the sky falling and the earth sinking, steadfast and immovable, with the sun, moon, and stars at its sole command, leaving Ye Tianchen stunned, neither advancing nor retreating.

”Could this be Buzhou Mountain? Unbelievable, it’s still so far away, and there’s already a sense of oppression!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

”Why did you stop? This...” Xiao Ling sensed Ye Tianchen halting and was about to speak when she too saw the towering conical mountain in the distance and was equally shocked!

It took a long time for Ye Tianchen to come back to his senses, and after a brief daze, his whole body trembled, extending a powerful Divine Thought. Despite being so far away, Ye Tianchen truly wanted to explore this divine mountain that gave the Penglai Ancient Martial World its name ”Penglai Fairy Island.” What secrets might it hold? Even glimpsing a fraction would suffice to excite Ye Tianchen immensely.

”What are you trying to do?” Xiao Ling couldn’t help but ask.

”Hold on tight, I want to use Divine Thought to explore this mountain!” Ye Tianchen said.

”No, it’s too dangerous. Buzhou Mountain is taboo in the Penglai Ancient Martial World; no one dares to explore or approach it, and even from this distance, it can be life-threatening!” Xiao Ling hurriedly spoke, trying to stop Ye Tianchen.

”I must try, hold on tight...”

Buzz!

Just as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, his powerful Divine Thought probed out, following his gaze to the location of the conical mountain. But the moment it arrived, Ye Tianchen sensed a force, an inexplicably strong force, so powerful it was irresistible. In the blink of an eye, it had reached him and Xiao Ling, and instinctively sensing life-threatening danger, Ye Tianchen quickly summoned the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” placing it in front of him and Xiao Ling. Yet, even so, both he and Xiao Ling, along with the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” were blasted away.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen, Xiao Ling, and even the ”Holy Heaven Prison” that shielded them were swept away, heavily crashing to the ground, destroying countless mountains. It was this invisible force that shattered many things. When Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling regained consciousness, they found themselves surrounded by chaos, debris, and dust everywhere. Ye Tianchen looked at Xiao Ling and asked, ”Are you alright?”

”It’s alright, it was really dangerous just now, you were too reckless!” Xiao Ling said anxiously to Ye Tianchen.

”I didn’t expect such a situation to occur!” Ye Tianchen took a deep breath and said.

”Buzhou Mountain, in the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World, is reputed as the Immortal Mountain. Those unaware think the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World is Penglai Fairy Island, but those in the know understand that only that mountain is the Immortal Mountain. The Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World is named after it and attracts many to visit. It has almost become a forbidden land, where no powerful legacy dares to touch...” Xiao Ling said. After all, living here, she knows more things than Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, operating his Divine Thought to shrink the ”Holy Heaven Prison.” When the ”Holy Heaven Prison” returned to Ye Tianchen’s palm, he was shocked to see cracks appear on it, with the Chaos Qi inside dispersed. This greatly frightened Ye Tianchen. If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, summoning the ”Holy Heaven Prison” to shield himself and Xiao Ling, they might have been utterly destroyed. This ”Buzhou Mountain” is like a hedgehog; even getting close to it or trying to take a look might provoke an attack. Ye Tianchen truly hadn’t expected that even from such a distance, merely probing with his Divine Thought would result in this kind of treatment. It seems that in the future, if he wants to approach this ”Buzhou Mountain,” he must prepare well and gather more information, otherwise, a reckless approach might lead to an unknown death.

”Let’s go, the disturbance here might attract major forces to send people. It would be bad if they found us!” Ye Tianchen said, placing Xiao Ling back onto his back.

”Okay!” Xiao Ling nodded.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen once again flew into the air and quickly disappeared into the world, not daring to linger long. He had the egg of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, and he and Xiao Ling were like refugees, unsure how many forces were behind them wanting to kill them and seize the egg. So Ye Tianchen knew that he must leave here with Xiao Ling as soon as possible.

At this moment, at the big tree where Xiao Ling originally lived, stood a Martial Artist. This Martial Artist had no fluctuation of True Qi on his body, with a youthful face but completely white hair, which was very eerie. After coldly glancing around, a glint from his eyes obliterated Xiao Ling’s residence, turning it to ashes. The next moment, he headed in the direction where Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling left, moving extremely fast.

”We might have to keep searching for a while; don’t move around or look around while you’re on my back!” Ye Tianchen said, using Qi Manipulation Flight, noticing this young girl was constantly looking left and right as if admiring the scenery.

”Okay, then I’ll take a nap!” Xiao Ling giggled, lying on Ye Tianchen’s back, and started to sleep!

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly; this little girl was indeed adorable and straightforward, saying she’d sleep and really did start to sleep.

Carrying Xiao Ling, Ye Tianchen flew high in the sky with Qi Manipulation Flight, traveling frequently. After traversing quite a distance, he also avoided some Martial Artists along the way. Even if they weren’t necessarily chasing him and Xiao Ling, it’s best not to expose themselves prematurely now, especially if it was Martial Artists pursuing them for the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s egg. Ye Tianchen would rather let them know that he stole the egg alone, without Xiao Ling, so Xiao Ling wouldn’t be in danger, while he could have more freedom of movement without worrying about Xiao Ling.

About three hours later, Ye Tianchen still hadn’t found a better or safer place and felt a bit perplexed. Continuing like this, he feared even by nightfall, he might not find anywhere.

”Carrying the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s egg with Xiao Ling following me all the way is too dangerous. These are powerful Martial Artists, and Xiao Ling is a mortal... there’s a place we can go!”

When thinking of Xiao Ling as a ”mortal,” Ye Tianchen suddenly thought of a good place. Though it didn’t have strong protection, it should be very safe. Otherwise, how could a mortal have lived for seven thousand years? So Ye Tianchen decided to head to a place he had known before, on the edge of Penglai Fairy Island, which would also serve as a way to leave the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World. Just when Ye Tianchen planned to leave ”Penglai Fairy Island,” he could take Xiao Ling with him, allowing Xiao Ling to wait for him there, serving both purposes.

Looking at Xiao Ling, really asleep on his back, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile and said to himself, ”Just bear with it for a bit, and when I find the third piece of the Ancient Transmission Array fragment, I’ll take you, this little girl, to Desolate Stone Village. It’s a warm and harmonious place, another paradise without slaughter and conflict!” (To be continued.
