Volume 8: Dragon Guard Chapter 11: The Great Wilderness of Youdu Mountain

  Standing on the cloud and fog, looking down, you can vaguely see some fairy houses in the continuous mountains. Occasionally, you can also see some figures flying with law-abiding treasures, guessing that they should be Yinglong Guards.

  Just as Zheng Ning, Mu Zi Shuo and many other cultivators were curiously watching, suddenly ——

  Clouds and fog directly dive down.

  "That is..." Ji Ning's eyes immediately saw in the distance below that mountain peak, a huge and complex tower-shaped array standing upright.

  Boom.

  Clouds and fog descended, and Ji Ning and a group of cultivators looked at the tower-shaped grand array in front of them. The tower-shaped grand array emitted a faint gray glow all over its body, with a height of about 800 zhang! The base diameter was about 100 zhang, and the entire base was in the shape of nine palaces. The skeleton of the entire tower-shaped grand array should be refined from rare metal, and there were also many talismans carved on it, dense and intricate talismans... covering this 800-zhang-high tower-shaped grand array.

  The pagoda-shaped array was surrounded by a hazy gray glow, with only the tip of the pagoda emitting a faint white light.

  Besides this grand formation, there are also ten elderly men dressed in simple attire guarding and maintaining it.

  "Is this the Teleportation Array?" Mu Zixiao's eyes lit up.

  "It should be." Ji Ning was also extremely curious.

  I had heard of the teleportation array before, but I had never used it. In Anping County, only a small number of people from Yinglongwei and Anpinghou have the right to use the teleportation array, and they can also bring their spiritual beast followers with them. This time, Ji Ning and his group were going to join Yinglongwei... and they would be an exception, having the opportunity to ride it once.

  "Transmission Array?"

  "An eight-hundred-zhang-high teleportation array? There's one in the garrison city of my hometown, but it's only a hundred zhang high. Much smaller than this."

  "I haven't seen it yet."

  These cultivators, although they had seen a lot and were knowledgeable, couldn't help but be astonished by such a high-grade transmission array.

  Those ten simple old men all bowed respectfully towards the silver-haired black-robed elder.

  "Get ready." The silver-haired black-robed elder ordered directly, "These one hundred cultivators will head straight to the Great Wilderness Marsh of Youdu Mountain!"

  "Yes." Ten plain-clothed old men immediately walked into the formation and began making some slight changes.

  The silver-haired old man in black robes looked at Ji Ning and the others, his voice sonorous: "This transmission array is a top-notch transmission array. It can even transmit to the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty! Any county within this vast land can be reached instantly through this transmission array."

  "The Prison Mountain Great Wilderness is two hundred million li away from here, but you will arrive there immediately." said the old man with silver hair and black robes.

  "Hmm?" The old man with silver hair and black robes suddenly had a subtle change in his expression.

  Whoosh!

  Vanished into thin air.

  Those who were listening, including Ji Ning, also felt somewhat shocked.

  "How did you suddenly disappear?"

  "I guess there's something important."

  "The immortal is indeed extraordinary. He vanished in an instant, I don't know what kind of escape technique that was." The crowd of cultivators began to whisper among themselves.

  Those ten simple old men who maintained the large array were also puzzled, how did they leave? Changing the destination of the large array was very simple and quick.

  "Ji Ning Shixiong," Mu Zishuo said in a low voice, "although I've long known that the Prison Mountain Great Desert is treacherous, I didn't know just how dangerous it was."

  "Rumors have it that... that's one of the most dangerous places in Anping County, where many areas are fragmented and even directly connected to other broken spaces. Many monsters lurk there, and some even say that gods and demons hide within." Ji Ning also said.

  The endless vast land ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty. It's too broad. Apart from some relatively safe places like Yanshan, there are also mysterious places, special places, and dangerous places!

  In the previous world, there were still many mysterious places on this vast land. Not to mention the vast world ruled by the Daxia Dynasty... In the territory of Ancheng County, there are many strange and mysterious places. Even some battles during the era of gods and demons led to very strange places that exist, as well as some immortal residences, relics of powerful beings, and so on.

  Within the borders of An County, among the top ten most dangerous places, there is the Great Wilderness Prison Mountain! And these dangerous places also contain endless opportunities.

  "I've also heard there are divine demons." A white-robed handsome man suddenly approached from beside.

  Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo looked back.

  "Brother Ji Ning Dao, Brother Mu Zi Shuo Dao." The handsome man in white robes laughed continuously. "I am Donghe Fei Yun, my Taoist name is also Fei Yun."

  "I am Daoist Double Wood." Mu Zi Shuo was very straightforward. At the same time, he glanced at Ji Ning'er and then said, "My senior brother is Ji Ning, with a Daoist name of Bei Ming! Ah, you just mentioned gods and demons... Could it be that the Great Desolate Wilderness of Prison Mountain really has gods and demons?"

  The handsome man in white robes said repeatedly: "Haven't you two heard of the legend about 'Prison Mountain'?"

  "What's the legend of Yu Shan?" Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads.

  "It's said that in the distant past, the era of gods and demons had just ended," Dongfang Feiyun said slowly. "The powerful immortals who founded the Great Xia Dynasty used a powerful treasure to suppress a group of gods and demons directly! This powerful treasure is 'Prison Mountain'. It's difficult to kill these gods and demons, and even immortals might have to die, so they let Prison Mountain suppress them, isolating them from the outside world and preventing them from absorbing external power. The gods and demons will only grow weaker, and after hundreds of millions of years, they will become extremely weak on their own."

  Ji Ning nodded in agreement with both of them.

  No matter what level the cultivator or demon reaches, they can go without food and drink, but they still need to absorb external forces. For example, refining Qi is absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth... Like demons and demonic body refinement are absorbing some other powers, such as the power of the five elements, the power of the stars, the power of Taiyin, the power of Taiyang, etc.

  If unable to absorb external forces, it will naturally become weaker and weaker.

  "But later..."

  "That group of suppressed gods and demons had an extremely powerful one, which actually broke through the Prison Mountain! It rushed out of the suppression area! A crazy big battle, a battle between immortals and gods and demons, fought so that the sky and earth were fragmented. The result of that war is unknown, but the Great Wilderness of Prison Mountain became what it is today." Donghe Feiyun said.

  Ji Ning smiled and said: "As expected of a Donghe, you can actually know such secrets."

  "I only saw this saying by flipping through some books that record legends. It's hard to say whether it's true or false." Donghe Feiyun smiled.

  "I've heard that in the era of gods and demons, it was the gods and demons who dominated this land," said Ji Ning. "Nowadays, however, it is my human race that dominates this endless land. The demon race comes second... but as for the gods and demons, they are almost nowhere to be seen."

  Muzi's eyes also lit up: "I'm very curious about the era of gods and demons too."

  "The stronger we are, the more we will naturally know." Donghe Feiyun smiled.

  ……

  "This matter must be investigated!" A silver-haired old man in a black robe shouted coldly in mid-air.

  Next to him was a big black dog with three eyes standing in mid-air, making a sound: "Yes! If you encounter An Ping Hou Bei Shan Shi from obstruction..."

  "Kill them all!" The silver-haired black-robed old man said in a cold voice, "Don't act as if you're from the Yinglong Guard. Just kill anyone who gets in your way. You must investigate clearly."

  "Yes." The black-haired three-eyed dog replied respectfully.

  "These vassals have been calling themselves kings and overlords on their own territories for a long time, and none of them are at peace. They often need to be beaten down." The old man with silver hair and black robes said in a cold voice, "It seems that the North Mountain clan of Anping Hou will have to die again. Go!"

  "Yes."

  The black-robed three-eyed big dog's body moved slightly, and it instantly flashed and disappeared.

  The silver-haired old man in black drove the cloud and mist down, flying slowly to the lower side... He soon arrived at the mountain peak where the legendary array was located. On the mountain peak, Ji Ning, Mu Zixiao and other hundred cultivators had been waiting for a long time.

  Wow!

  An old man with silver hair and a black robe descended, instantly surrounding the area in silence. The ten simple old men also looked over respectfully.

  "You listen clearly." The silver-haired black-robed old man said, "This batch of you will join the Yinglong Guard. Your assessment location is in the Prison Mountain Great Wilderness Marsh! Prison Mountain Great Wilderness Marsh... is one of the most famous danger zones in my Anping County. What you need to do is survive for three months in the Prison Mountain Great Wilderness Marsh and bring back the skull of a Wanxiang Great Demon."

  "Whoever lives through three months and brings back the skull of the Wanxiang Great Demon shall be allowed to enter my Dragon Guard."

  "Those who die in the vast wilderness of Yushan, or return without the skull of the Great Demon King, or have the skull but fail to stay for three months, are all considered failures."

  "Can you hear clearly now?"

  The old man with silver hair and black robes glanced over.

  Over a hundred cultivators all nodded without any hesitation, as they had encountered many of Long Wei's tests before and this one was just a normal one. Since they dared to come... they must have some confidence in themselves.

  "Alright." The silver-haired black-robed figure nodded, "Since that's the case, you can set off now. I hope to see you return with the Great Demon's skull in three months. Remember... don't underestimate those Great Demons, you're going to kill them. Those Great Demons also want to kill you. The endless years of accumulated hatred. They won't show any mercy towards you."

  Over a hundred cultivators all nodded in understanding.

  Even Mu Zi Shuo, who was the youngest, had a firm look in his eyes.

  "Come on in."

  "Do not leave the base of the array."

  Those ten simple old men began to make arrangements.

  Ji Ning and the others walked into the transmission array one by one. The entire transmission array was so large that even thousands of people could be transmitted directly.

  "Ji Ning, Shifu has instructed us... when we go to the Yu Shan Great Wilderness, not only must we be careful of monsters, but also other cultivators." Mu Zi Xiao transmitted his voice, "They all know now that we are from the Hei Bai Xue Gong. The number of disciples in our Hei Bai Xue Gong is extremely scarce. Each and every one of us will have precious treasures on our bodies, so it's not uncommon for people to gang up and kill our Hei Bai Xue Gong disciples. We're still not at the level of the Ying Long Wei... where we can't be killed by each other."

  Ji Ning smiled and glanced at Mu Zixiao.

  It's hard to fathom the human heart, especially in this era of information explosion... The amount of information we're exposed to is absolutely more than that in a relatively closed-off world.

  Although so, Ji Ning still said: "I know, Shidi should also be careful."

  "Hmm, we brothers will join forces. Hmm, come one and kill one, come ten and kill ten." Mu Zishuo transmitted his voice.

  Suddenly——

  The entire transmission array around lit up, the hazy gray light on the surface of the tower array began to shine brightly, shrouding the entire transmission array. From the outside, you can't see Ji Ning and the other hundred cultivators inside the transmission array anymore.

  Splash!

  The white light on the spire suddenly burst into a thousand times, ten thousand times its brightness, dazzling like the golden crow in the sky.

  When the white light faded and the hazy gray glow returned to normal, Ji Ning and the other 100 cultivators who were originally in the formation had already disappeared. At this time, they still arrived at the Great Wilderness of Youdu Mountain.
