Chapter 62: The Place of Fengshan Sacrifices, the Giant Tripod Manifests!

"Huo Bao, have the brothers spread out during this time; don't stay too concentrated!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan called Huo Bao to his side and gave it instructions, "Especially the brothers guarding the perimeter; they must be even more vigilant. Do not let human aircraft or drones enter the depths of the Qinling and discover our situation!"

"Don't worry, Boss!"

Huo Bao nodded heavily, indicating that it would certainly carry out these tasks he had entrusted to it with care.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan gave no further orders and set off directly toward the Dongshan District.

Before this, Lu Chuan had already looked at the map and firmly memorized the information on it, so his journey now was not affected in the slightest.

Furthermore, through Lin Xueer's description, he learned that the place where the anomaly appeared in the Dongshan District was Mount Tai! Mount Tai, a place in this world already filled with mystery, had many legends related to mythology circulating about it; it was even the place where many ancient emperors performed the Fengshan sacrifices. Therefore, it was no surprise that an anomaly appeared here, or even that heavenly treasures descended.

After two days of trekking, Lu Chuan finally entered the territory of the Dongshan District.

Throughout this journey, he remained in Invisibility the entire time. Even when he saw some Beasts, he did not actively provoke or devour them, so his whereabouts were not exposed in the slightest.

When he approached Mount Tai, it was already night.

Lu Chuan raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, and saw that at a certain spot on the summit of Mount Tai, rays of light were overflowing. He immediately let out a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the anomaly has not ended. Regardless of what the anomaly signifies is descending, at least no one has beaten me to it. I have arrived just in time!"

While pondering, Lu Chuan continued to advance toward Mount Tai.

When he reached the foot of Mount Tai, he was shocked to find human troops guarding the area. Lines of blockade separated every road leading into Mount Tai, and especially on the mountain paths originally opened up by humans, soldiers patrolled day and night.

They did this to prevent ordinary people from going up the mountain; only official personnel could go to the higher reaches of Mount Tai to investigate after obtaining permission.

In fact, some people originally lived on Mount Tai, but as the world changed drastically, these residents had long since left; after all, Beasts would dash out from the dense forest from time to time, posing a great threat to their safety.

At this very moment, there were only Beasts and human troops on Mount Tai!

"Master, I have found out."

At this time, Lu Chuan found a spot and communicated with Lin Xueer. The latter reported meticulously through their soul connection, "In this Mount Tai, there is indeed a Beast King; it is confirmed to be a Giant Ape as large as a mountain."

"Ever since the anomaly erupted, the human troops blocked the paths for ordinary people to enter the mountain at the first opportunity. They also intend to keep a firm grip on Mount Tai and not let any Beasts approach the anomaly."

"However, because of the existence of that Yuan Wang, the human troops have suffered repeated setbacks within Mount Tai. Now, both sides control a portion of the area."

"But the area controlled by the Yuan Wang is still closer to where the anomaly is located."

"Good, I understand."

After learning this information, Lu Chuan kept the Yuan Wang in mind and then ordered, "Continue to scout for news related to Mount Tai, especially regarding the humans."

"As long as it is something that can influence the situation, report it."

Having said that, Lu Chuan used his Invisibility ability to quietly cross the blockade, doing so with great ease.

Walking along the way, Lu Chuan could not help but sigh that Mount Tai was indeed vast. Especially after that Seven-Colored Light Rain, the plants in Mount Tai had all mutated, each becoming exceptionally strange. The massive trees blocked out the sky and sun, making Mount Tai seem to be perpetually shrouded in darkness.

Under such circumstances, the number of Beasts within was exceptionally large, and various roars could be heard almost every moment.

However, most of the Beasts Lu Chuan saw along the way were of the Mortal Realm or Awakening Realm. As for powerful Beasts of the Shackle Realm... he had not encountered any yet.

Ignoring these restless Beasts, he moved directly toward the summit of Mount Tai.

Meanwhile, at the waist of Mount Tai, a team of well-equipped humans gathered. Before long, one well-equipped person returned to the team and said to the others, "The location has been clearly identified."

They were all Ability Users, and they were currently executing the same mission.

The team member who returned to report could not help but show a grave expression when saying this, "It's just that there are many Beasts guarding that place, and the Yuan Wang is watching covetously."

"You all know the strength of the Yuan Wang; if we go there... I fear the outcome is grim!"

Hearing this, the group fell into silence.

But soon, another Ability User spoke with a firm expression, "Regardless of anything else, this matter is of great importance; we must complete the mission!"

"Everyone, prepare immediately. As soon as the opportunity arises, we will act at once."

"Yes!"

"Jiang Luoli!"

Lu Chuan had been traveling along just fine when he suddenly discovered Jiang Luoli's aura, and she had appeared suddenly within the sensing range of his Blood Hunting. This surprised him, and he whispered in a low, focused voice.

Clearly, Jiang Luoli had used that Black Flag to teleport directly to this place.

"Even she has come; it seems this trip was not in vain!"

Lu Chuan knew that wherever this woman Jiang Luoli appeared, there was an opportunity, or perhaps she had come in pursuit of him.

But this time, it was clear that Jiang Luoli was aiming for the anomaly.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chuan accelerated and, relying on the sensing of Blood Hunting, followed Jiang Luoli to the summit.

He looked up and saw that in a certain area on the summit, giant stones stood in clusters, and among them was a circular altar, with soil of different colors scattered beside it.

This was the place of the Fengshan sacrifices!

In the areas further out, countless Beasts were coiled up.

Lu Chuan's gaze shifted constantly. At this moment, he discovered that the sky above the altar was exactly where the rays of light were erupting. Viewing it from close range now, he found that the light was even more extraordinary; it seemed that all the colors in heaven and earth would be eclipsed before this light.

At present, although the Beasts were anxious and roared from time to time, they were all waiting for this anomaly to end so they could pounce!

"The Nine Provinces Cauldron is about to manifest."

Compared to the Beasts, Jiang Luoli knew better what this anomaly represented, so she was also waiting, "Once I obtain the Nine Provinces Cauldron, plus the Moon Gazing Ancient Bow, my strength will increase significantly!"

"Next time I encounter the Snake King, I will definitely be able to subdue it..."

Hum—

At a certain moment, the light in the sky suddenly contracted and gathered inward, moving with extreme speed as if collapsing.

This scene attracted the gaze of all the Beasts. They saw a Giant Tripod suddenly appear in the center of the circular altar!
