Ji Ning felt a ripple in the space around him, similar to when Shui Fu had moved him from Winged Snake Lake.
"Huh?" The scene in front of him became clear, and beside him was his own Mu Zixiao, with other cultivators surrounding them.
"Arrived?" Mu Zishuo widened his eyes and looked around, "It's really fast."
Ji Ning carefully looked around, they were now inside a transmission array about a hundred feet high, slightly smaller than the one in the Red Dragon Mountain Range. As for further away... it was just an endless expanse of wilderness and swamp, with mountains, swamps, and wasteland stretching out as far as the eye could see.
"Two hundred million miles in just an instant." Ji Ning couldn't help but marvel, "I've heard that some immortals have the ability to teleport hundreds of millions of miles in an instant. I wonder when I'll have such abilities too."
"Come out, all of you."
"Hurry up."
An old voice sounded, and two elderly men in simple clothes were seen urging outside the transmission array.
A group of cultivators finally walked out of the base area one by one.
"You all listen clearly!" A white-haired, slightly fat old man shouted, "This is the Prison Mountain Great Wilderness Marsh, and for you, the only safe place in the entire Prison Mountain Great Wilderness Marsh is here! There are usually Yinglong Guards stationed here, and there are also large arrays laid out around us. No one dares to offend this place."
Ji Ning and Mu Ziqing looked carefully, they also discovered that this transmission array was built on a mountain peak, and there were other continuous fairy houses on the mountain peak, probably stationed with many people.
"There are still a few things I want to entrust to you." The fat old man continued, "The first is that within three months, you cannot return here. If you return to this refuge, it will be considered as your failure."
"When you venture into the vast wilderness of Prison Mountain, be extremely cautious and never stay in one place for too long. For instance, staying for a month or so is not advisable. You should know that the number of monsters in Prison Mountain far exceeds that of humans, and they are more familiar with this place than you are. If you linger in one spot for an extended period... it's easy to become surrounded and killed by these powerful monsters joining forces. However, taking a short rest of a day or half a day is still acceptable."
Ji Ning and others listened carefully one by one.
These can be lifesavers.
"The third is the vast wilderness of the Prison Mountain, where the great demons are indeed dangerous. However, the environment itself is even more perilous, with some places possibly being fragmented spaces... If you're not careful, you might just leave this vast world. At that time, your current strength would be undoubtedly fatal."
"The fourth is the vast wilderness of the Prison Mountain, due to environmental reasons, it's hard to determine direction. Don't rely on feelings to judge east, south, west and north! You must use the sun, moon and stars in the sky to determine direction. Otherwise, relying solely on feeling, you will never be able to find your way back for a lifetime and will forever wander around the Prison Mountain wilderness."
"Alright, I've told you all four key points. Now go! I hope to still see you three months later." The fat old man said.
The thin old man finally spoke up and said: "If you find it too dangerous and can't handle it, just hurry back. Although it's a failure, at least you'll keep your life."
"Go on, go on." The fat old man waved his hand.
"Go." The thin old man also said.
Ji Ning and over a hundred other cultivators looked at the mountain peak, where some of the hidden Xian family caves were located, and also felt the strong power surrounding the mountain peak, which was the power of the formation.
Splash! Splash!
One after another, the flowing lights began to fly out of the mountain peaks. They flew directly towards the distance. Some were alone, while others were in groups of three or two, accompanying each other.
"Which direction should we go, Master Ji Ning?" asked Mu Zizuo.
"It's all the same whichever direction." Ji Ning glanced around and pointed northwards, "There are many mountains there. Let's go that way."
"Good." Muzi nodded.
Wow.
A dragon-headed warship soon appeared in mid-air, and Ji Ning and Mu Ziqi boarded the ship. This dragon-headed warship was only about 30 meters long at this moment, apparently cruising through the vast wilderness of the Prison Mountain. If they had made the warship too big... it would have only allowed the great demons to discover them even earlier.
Soon, one hundred cultivators dispersed in all directions.
The two old men in charge of maintaining the large formation had complex gazes, and the thin old man sighed: "I really envy them, I feel a strong and vigorous vitality from them. Obviously, they are still very young. Youth is capital, they have a lot of time to continue striving, and can go further on the path of cultivation. But we no longer have such opportunities."
"At least we've also lived for hundreds of years." The fat old man said with a smile.
"I don't know how many of them will survive this time." The thin old man looked on from afar.
"It's already not bad to have half of it." The fat old man said, "However, this group of people clearly knows the danger, but they still want to come and take risks. As long as they become Yīng Lóng Wèi... With the help of Yīng Lóng Wèi's vast collection of Taoist treasures and so on, they can walk faster and more stably on the path of cultivating immortality. Even truly exceptional ones may go to the capital of the Great Xià Dynasty, where our Yīng Lóng Wèi headquarters is located, to receive cultivation."
……
The dragon-headed warship was flying through the high-altitude clouds and fog.
"This high-altitude cloud and mist is actually the safest place in the entire Prison Mountain Wilderness." Mu Zi Xiao stood at the bow of the boat.
Ji Ning nodded: "However, we still have to be careful. Once some spatial distortions and fluctuations are discovered, we all need to avoid them."
"I know, warships fly relatively slowly." Mu Zishuo said.
"Uh-huh."
Ji Ning nodded.
"Look." Musashi gazed down through the thin clouds and saw a great mountain below, its grandeur was mysterious and it even pierced directly into the clouds. Moreover, with the naked eye, many monsters could be seen on this mountain, some of which had transformed into human shapes and were moving like an army.
"Ji Ning Shixiong, there must be a powerful demon on that big mountain," said Mu Zishuo.
"As far as I know... the most common ones in the mountains and wilderness are the Wanxiang Great Demons, and the Zifu Demons can be seen everywhere. As for the Yuanshen Great Demons... they are extremely rare." Ji Ning said, "Some demons occupy the mountain as kings, while some demons wander alone. Those who can occupy the mountain as kings are all relatively strong."
Muzi nodded.
"Now that the great demon is wandering alone, it's hard to even run into one." Ji Ning thought for a moment and said, "So our goal should be the mountain-controlling demons. However, from afar, we can't determine the strength of the mountain-controlling demon king at all. If we're unlucky, we might even run into a primordial spirit great demon."
"What's to be done?" asked Mu Zishuo.
Ji Ning had already thought of a way, but looked at Mu Zishuo: "Shifu younger brother, what's your plan?"
"I've thought of a few," Mu Zishuo furrowed his brow and said, "The first one is to follow other cultivators, let the other cultivators go explore carefully first, wait for them to start fighting... confirm that the target is the Wanxiang Great Demon, then we'll make our move."
"En, not bad." Ji Ning nodded in praise.
Muzi Shuo said: "The second way is to find a demon mountain that looks not very powerful, and it's likely to be the lair of the Wanxiang Great Demon."
"What about the third one?" Ji Ning continued to ask.
"The master said that human hearts are hard to measure." Mu Zi Shuo's eyes lit up, "If so, I'm afraid there will be other cases of robbery and murder among cultivators. Those who dare to rob and kill are usually a few cultivators working together. Since several cultivators have joined forces, I don't believe they wouldn't even get the head of a Wanxiang Great Demon's corpse. Let's set up an ambush... whoever comes to rob us, we'll turn around and rob them instead."
"But all three methods have their own drawbacks and are uncertain." Mu Zishuo frowned, "However, we have three months to spare, which should be enough."
Ji Ning smiled: "The methods aren't bad, but I have an even simpler one."
"What's the plan?" Mu Zishuo looked at Ji Ning expectantly.
"Find a demon mountain with average power." Ji Ning said with a smile.
"Isn't this exactly what I said?" Mu Zishuo glared.
"After finding it... I'll take a look!" Ji Ning smiled, "If the other party can sense it, it's probably a Yuan Shen Da Yao. If they can't sense it... then it's a Wan Xiang Da Yao. Even if we're unlucky and really encounter an extremely rare Yuan Shen Da Yao, we'll immediately cast our escape technique and leave instantly."
Muzi Shuo exclaimed: "Divine consciousness, Brother Master, your divine soul is indeed at the level of divine consciousness?"
Ji Ning nodded.
"You really are……" Mu Zi Xiao was shocked, "When you first entered the sect and defeated Blood Shadow and the others, you were able to simultaneously cast multiple sword techniques. Many of your fellow disciples suspected that your spiritual soul was extremely powerful, possibly at the divine sense level. And many even suspected that you were a 'reincarnated immortal'. You actually really reached the divine sense level, and in over three years, you never once mentioned it."
"You didn't ask either." Ji Ning smiled.
"Are you a reincarnated immortal then?" Mu Zishuo's eyes lit up, "I've heard that as a reincarnated immortal grows in power, they'll gradually awaken to their past life memories."
Ji Ning shook his head: "I don't know, at least I haven't awakened to my immortal memories."
Just kidding.
I clearly remember my past life, I'm definitely not an immortal.
"Oh." Mu Zishuo nodded, and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "That's really too good. Passing the test of entering the Dragon Guard is very difficult for others, but it's too simple for you, Shixiong. We can just use our divine sense to investigate from a distance... Once we confirm, we can take action right away. Even if we're extremely unlucky and run into an extremely rare Yuan Shen Great Demon, we can still rely on our escape techniques to get out of there immediately. It's really simple."
Ji Ning smiled: "If those with divine sense and divine soul can't all enter Yinglongwei, that would be the strange thing."
"Overbearing." Mu Zi Xiao smiled and said, "Then your junior brother will take advantage of you, senior brother."
"Master brothers are still polite." Ji Ning's gaze looked down and began searching for the mountain demon to go down the mountain.
……
Half an hour later.
Ji Ning and Mu Zixiao stood on a desolate wilderness, gazing at the perilous mountain ahead. With Ji Ning's eyesight, he could see some demonic silhouettes on that treacherous mountain.
"In that case, I'll investigate," said Ji Ning.
"Uh-huh." Muzi Shuo's hand was already holding a Taoist talisman.
Although they can both perform simple earth escape techniques, they can only escape a few meters in an instant. With the help of talismans, however, they can escape thousands of miles away. Ji Ning knew that even if it was a powerful demon with a strong divine sense, it would be difficult to detect something thousands of miles away.
"Hua!" Ji Ning's mind stirred, and instantly a powerful divine sense surged forth, enveloping the entire mountain.
