Chapter 57: A Single Clash, Entering Tianshen Shan

"Sss..."

Two invisible, biting auras stirred up a thousand layers of wind and waves, resembling sharp swords, blades, and axes, clashing and colliding to emit bursts of clanging sounds.

The wind and waves swept through the surroundings, and the girl in purple, Heizi, and Tianhu Shaonü were greatly affected, retreating to a slightly further distance to watch with focused attention.

Venerable Yun, Venerable Qingteng, and Venerable Qingtian were each illuminated by a touch of divine light, remaining untouched by the wind and waves, as steady as Mount Tai.

Slowly, the bodies of the two began to emit brilliant golden radiance, with mysterious Runes surging out from within their respective bodies.

Subsequently, ten dazzling Cave Heavens appeared one after another, circling behind each of them, instantly covering the sun's light and illuminating the entire Taigu Shenshan, as if lighting up the boundless firmament.

At the moment the two raised their ten Cave Heavens, the three Venerables, as well as the three people slightly further away, all revealed expressions of envy.

At this moment, the pupils of Mengchen and the little bear child were both overflowing with flowing light, their entire bodies radiating ten thousand feet of golden light, resembling two gods or Buddhas confronting each other, deeply shaking the hearts of those present.

Mysterious Runes filled the sky, centering on them and erupting rapidly, gorgeous as ten thousand galaxies, dazzling and eye-catching.

Amidst the swirling, intense Runes, they resembled suns, emitting extreme brilliance.

Quietly, golden Rune beams shot out from both their pupils simultaneously and collided, instantly sending sparks flying in all directions, as if sparks were exploding, stirring the hearts of all.

"Such a strong aura; they are truly worthy of being young Supremes who have opened ten Cave Heavens. Once they reach the Venerable Realm in the future, I fear there will be no rivals left in these Eight Regions," Venerable Qingtian exclaimed.

Venerable Yun stroked his beard and said with a serious face, "Young Supremes, as long as they grow up, which one of them is not an earth-shattering existence?"

Venerable Qingteng, standing to the side, remained silent, watching with focused eyes.

In the distance, the Heavenly Fox young lady, seeing the power erupted by the little bear child, had a strange look flash in her eyes. At this moment, she was somewhat looking forward to the little bear child's performance; she truly hoped he could defeat this bald boy, so that she might then be able to escape her sea of suffering.

The next instant, both moved, simultaneously taking half a step back, raising their right hands to clench their fists, and pulling back to gather strength.

In an instant, brilliant divine light and Runes filling the sky surged wildly, gathering toward their right fists, making the fists appear as if cast from gilded gold, with power that was strong and peerless.

"Sss..." The two carried extreme divine might, flying and charging forward.

"Boom!"

In an instant, it was as if two suns had collided, triggering immense power that caused the world to darken for a moment, before erupting suddenly and diffusing monstrous divine light, causing the surrounding ancient trees and giant rocks to instantly turn into powder, while the mountains in the distance also cracked and collapsed one after another.

The girl in purple and Heizi exhausted all their strength to withstand this impact, while Tianhu Shaonü, because her Divine Power was sealed, hid behind Heizi and thus escaped disaster.

For a long time, that area remained hazy, shrouded by the dust filling the sky and the endless lingering divine glow, making it impossible to see clearly, and unknown whether the two were strong or weak from this collision.

Gradually, two blurry standing figures appeared there, and they looked over intently.

When the haze dissipated, the two were seen standing on opposite sides, their eyes meeting, and their expressions were particularly calm, as if they had not fought at all.

But the cold atmosphere that quietly spread was still difficult for people to endure.

Seeing that the atmosphere had temporarily eased, Venerable Yun, in order to prevent further conflict, proposed entering Tianshen Shan.

"Let's enter the mountain! I fear the people on the mountain are already impatient."

"Good!"

Hearing this, Mengchen and the little bear child, whose eyes were locked in confrontation, smiled at each other.

Only the two of them knew the strength of the exchange just now.

They had only exchanged one blow and were not fighting to the death; after all, the main purpose of this trip was to explore the Kunpeng Yichao.

Before that, they did not want to expose their full strength.

"Good! We shall fight again when we reach the Kunpeng Nest," Mengchen said with a smile.

The previous collision had already given him a rough understanding of the little bear child's strength; next time they fought, when he used his full strength, he would surely be able to defeat him. "I await it at any time!" The little bear child responded seriously.

The previous exchange let him know that the bald youth before him was a very strong opponent, the likes of which he had only seen once in his life, and he was worth taking seriously.

They followed Venerable Yun's suggestion, temporarily putting aside their hostility, and went into the mountain together.

Inside the mountain, there were even more spiritual auspicious signs; five-colored cranes gathered in flocks, luan birds soared, and fragrant orchids bloomed, exhaling mist and releasing essence. Walking amidst the spirit-rich divine mountain, they were like a group of gods.

This place did not seem like a place mortals could step foot in; it was otherworldly and peaceful, with all kinds of rare birds and beasts that had long gone extinct elsewhere, yet continued to thrive here.

After climbing the mountain, it was truly like a fairyland, with divine springs bubbling, divine birds flying across the sky, ancient medicines wafting with fragrance, white clouds and mist permeating, and various heavenly palaces situated about.

Mengchen exclaimed that this was truly a piece of immortal land, the likes of which he had only seen once in his life; if one could find a lifelong companion to live here, it would be the most ideal life in the human world.

On the way, the little bear child was still as he had been before, plucking a feather from every goose that passed, occasionally pulling out a Spirit Medicine from the path.

Before he knew it, a small golden monkey had appeared on his shoulder, wolfing down food with him.

Mengchen, meanwhile, held Heizi, who had transformed into a small black dog, in one hand, and tightly gripped Tianhu Shaonü with the other, as if afraid this Fox Spirit would run away.

Not long after, they arrived at a heavenly palace, where many people had already gathered, both old and young, among whom many had terrifying auras; they were all experts who had cultivated in this Taigu Shenshan for who knows how many years.

On this mountain, the terrain was extremely magnificent, and all kinds of buildings were incomparably ancient, possessing a vicissitudinous and distant aura.

This place shimmered with spiritual energy; amidst the clouds and mist, Five-Colored Peacocks fanned their tails, emitting precious light, and three-legged Golden Crows flew across the sky, as if a sun were passing by.

Under the guidance of Venerable Yun, Mengchen sat at a jade table, quietly listening to their discussion.

These old ones were all leaders of major factions, while the young ones were elites selected by their respective factions, all with strength in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Mengchen thought to himself, "It seems these people are all going together to explore the Kunpeng Yichao."

"Everything is ready, all that's missing is to set sail," an old man said.

In fact, they had already discussed everything, only lacking the east wind, and now that the east wind had arrived, they could set off immediately.

Several old men said, "Children, it is time for you to go to war. Other alliances have already set off; if we do not leave now, we will fall behind."

"Only those in the Spirit Transformation Realm can enter the Kunpeng Yichao, so we cannot intervene; this time, it all depends on yourselves."

"Additionally, we will send you there safely; we can absolutely guarantee you will be unharmed on the way."

Finally, Venerable Yun, Venerable Qingtian, and several other Venerables joined forces to open a five-colored passage.

The passage opened, and Mengchen, Heizi, the Heavenly Fox young lady, the little bear child, and the rest of the group marched in a mighty force, stepping into the passage.

This was a teleportation passage on Tianshen Shan, which led directly to the Beihai region.

In the end, the group walked into the passage, totaling six or seven hundred people.

Stepping into the passage was like walking in a galaxy, feeling extremely light and airy.

The group stepped along the passage, rushing toward the distance; time seemed to be flying by, or perhaps it had become chaotic, with dots of rosy light.

It was unknown how much time had passed when light from the Heaven Domain appeared ahead, and a damp air carrying a briny scent rushed to meet them.

Now, they had appeared millions of miles away, far from the Divine Mountain, and an endless ocean came into view.

The waves were turbulent, the undercurrents surging, one wave higher than the next, as if they wanted to rush onto the shore and submerge them.
