Chapter 289: War God Palace Ruins
This place was originally a vast blessed land, shrouded in fairy mist, spiritual and strange, with the momentum of a heavenly dragon lying down, the spiritual aura as thick as water.
Majestic, mysterious, and spectacular ancient Taoist temples and palaces stretched from the hillside to the depths of the clouds at the top of the mountain.
Among them, fairy ponds, beast valleys, pill fields, Taoist fields, fairy homes, spiritual platforms, and divine statues were everywhere.
Any sect in the Eastern Region was pitiful like a beggar compared to it!
However, at this time, the palaces had collapsed and were dilapidated, the pill fields and Taoist fields had become ruins, and the beast valley was covered with huge bones.
To the west of the continuous palace ruins, a huge, thousands-of-feet-long broken sword was inserted diagonally into a sky-reaching tower.
To the east, an unparalleled ferocious warship was inserted into the mountain belly.
At the top of the mountain in the middle, a Coiling Dragon Giant Spear was firmly nailed into the largest palace, the spear handle like a pillar supporting the sky.
In addition, fist prints the size of half a city and footprints the size of a dozen houses remained prominently in the palace ruin group.
And in the palaces, on the mountain stairs, and in the squares, there were dense, gold and silver-colored skeletons.
A sense of desolation and sorrow rushed toward him.
Heng Xian could not help but stand blankly at the foot of the mountain, unable to even move his feet, his mind buzzing.
The scene before him brought him great shock and doubt.
Such a sect, already powerful to this extent, why did it perish?
And who destroyed it?
He was just a mere Qi Hai Realm cultivator, having exhausted all his efforts without forming a Dan, and forming a Dan was just the threshold of entering cultivation.
Compared to such a sect, he was as small as an ant!
What could he do when his cultivation reached a high level in the future?!
Not only him, but almost all the sect disciples who entered had the same thought. The mountain stairs in front were full of people, everyone stunned like wooden chickens.
This lasted for a full stick of incense.
Zhou Zhan Yi, Puyin Ni Gu, and Si Tu Nan Fei reacted and said in a deep voice: "This is the War God Palace ruins. Fellow sect members and disciples of other sects, do not be confused by the sorrow in the ancient ruins. Those with fate will obtain the opportunity. Even if you die, you will have no regrets. Let's go!"
Saying this, they were the first to sweep toward the mountain.
The sect disciples behind were surging with emotion. Having finally arrived after all the hardships, no one was reserved anymore, and they all swept toward the mountain or the surroundings.
Heng Xian was not in a hurry to go up, but sat cross-legged on the ground, opened the "Xuanhuang Heavenly Hexagram," and asked: "Where is the best thing here?"
The hexagram showed: 【Peak, inside the War God Hall.】
Heng Xian let out a sigh of relief, operated his cultivation technique, and circulated his Qi.
Time passed slowly, and harsh roars and screams came from around the mountain peak one after another.
Without looking, he knew that some people were not good at restrictions and arrays, had forcibly broken into some place, and were counterattacked.
Heng Xian opened his eyes, his body already adjusted to its peak state, and he stood up to walk forward.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, avoiding a few withered bones, he lifted his foot and stepped onto the first layer of white jade stone stairs, only to feel a very light pressure coming; there seemed to be resistance on the mountain.
Then he walked up step by step.
The stairs were full of gold and silver-colored withered bones, dense and numerous, in all kinds of postures, each ferocious and terrifying, obviously having suffered great pain before death.
And on both sides, rooms and spiritual aura cave mansions similar to those of sect disciples appeared one after another, but most of them were already damaged, and there didn't seem to be anything valuable inside.
The higher he went, the more formal the styles of the rooms and spiritual aura cave mansions became, and the more complete ones gradually increased. Low-level disciples from various sects who sought stability had already stopped and were trying to open the restrictions.
Heng Xian did not stop his footsteps and continued to walk up.
The higher he went, the greater the resistance, and the more low-level disciples from various sects stopped to try to open the cave mansions.
By the time he reached the middle of the mountain, there were already three or five people gathered together, working together to bombard a palace restriction.
Heng Xian took out a few "green-clothed" tokens and looked at them, his expression very strange.
Just then, in front of a side hall not far away, a quarrel broke out.
Three women and one man gathered together, arguing until their faces were red and their ears were hot.
Zixi of the Green Mountain Sect still wore her hair in a concubine-style bun, which made her face appear somewhat long. She pointed at the side hall door: "I will say this one more time: this place has a fate with me. Idle people, leave, otherwise do not blame me for being heartless!"
Su Wan'er sneered: "There should always be a first-come, first-served order, shouldn't there? Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"
Zixi said coldly: "So what if it is overbearing? In terms of seniority, you are a fourth-generation disciple of the Tianyuan Sect, while I am a third-generation disciple of the Green Mountain Sect; you should yield to me by three points!
In terms of cultivation, I am at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm, and you are at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm.
In terms of background, I am the daughter of a general of the Lake Kingdom, while you come from a brothel and are even involved with the demon traitor Heng Xian!"
Su Wan'er was not angry, but chuckled lightly: "First of all, you and I are not of the same sect; yielding in terms of seniority is just giving you face. If I don't, what can you do to me?
Secondly, having a higher realm cannot hide your essence as a straw bag!
Finally, it is said that your mother was also a refined courtesan from a brothel who was redeemed by the general. Even if I come from a brothel, I am of the same generation as your mother!
Also, when my Young Master regarded the Golden Core experts of various sects as dirt, you were hiding in the crowd, shivering."
"Audacious! You slut!"
Zixi drew her long sword, her aura surging to the heavens.
A pretty-faced young girl behind her immediately pulled her back: "Senior Sister, don't, we haven't fallen out with the Tianyuan Sect yet!"
A young man beside Su Wan'er also immediately stepped forward, drawing his blade to stand in front of Su Wan'er: "Zixi, if you want to make a move, ask the blade in my hand first!"
"You..." Zixi was furious.
Just at this moment, a voice came from the side: "This side hall is quite ordinary!"
The four of them turned their heads to look at the same time and saw Heng Xian standing in front of the side hall gate with his hands behind his back, shaking his head lightly.
"Heng..."
The expressions of Zixi and the young girl beside her changed, and they hurriedly retreated.
Although the Golden Core experts of various sects could shout and kill Heng Xian, they dared not.
Not only did they not dare, but seeing Heng Xian actually made them feel cold from the heart, because in their eyes, Heng Xian was synonymous with being terrifyingly shrewd!
The young man beside Su Wan'er was also startled, but he still stood firmly in front of Su Wan'er.
Who knew that Su Wan'er would push him aside and run to Heng Xian in surprise, looking at him with admiration: "Young Master!"
Heng Xian reached out and tapped her head: "My maid, how can you have such poor taste? What is the use of such a trashy place?"
Trashy...
Zixi and the young girl were stunned. Has this guy's standards become so high? This is almost at the top of the mountain?
Su Wan'er rubbed her head: "The spiritual aura inside this hall is dense, and the light is flickering; there should be a rare treasure!"
Heng Xian turned and left: "I don't want it!"
"Oh!" Su Wan'er pouted and followed behind with her head lowered.
The young man on the side was stunned. Senior Sister Su, whom he regarded as a goddess, was cold to him, but became an obedient baby in front of Heng Xian?
He gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Senior Sister Su?"
Su Wan'er seemed to have just remembered him and looked back at him: "Oh, so it's Junior Brother Zhang, go find your Fate Opportunity quickly!"
The young man said in a deep voice: "I want to be with Senior Sister!"
Su Wan'er carefully glanced at her Young Master and frowned slightly: "Junior Brother Zhang, please respect yourself, please leave!"
The young man froze in place, his body trembling slightly.
Heng Xian glanced over.
Su Wan'er hurriedly explained: "A fourth-generation disciple of the Divine Blade Palace; he has been following me ever since he saw me."
Heng Xian nodded slightly, not finding it convenient to say more.
The master and servant walked up the stairs to the mountain; the resistance above was already very heavy, and Su Wan'er was having some difficulty walking.
Heng Xian simply grabbed her hand and brought her up.
The surrounding palaces were layered, and there were quite a few intact ones; mysterious restrictions, palaces, and spiritual mansions were everywhere.
It was just that as they were nearing the top of the mountain, the people who could reach this point were basically cultivators at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.
Heng Xian asked while walking: "I asked you to collect the blue cloth and white cloth tokens; did you collect them?"
Su Wan'er hurriedly took out a stack of silver "blue cloth" tokens from her embroidered storage bag: "I collected thirty, Young Master. What exactly is the use of these?"
Heng Xian looked around and chuckled: "The methods to open all the palaces and spiritual aura cave mansions here are too strenuous if you use brute force or cracking!
But with this token, they can be opened easily!"
Su Wan'er widened her eyes: "Ah?"
