Is there any special landmark?\" a Heavenly soldier asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey had already left him gasping for breath, after all, this was still the territory of the Demon Clan, and they had infiltrated deep, facing numerous difficulties and dangers along the way, not suitable for outsiders to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, if there were any special landmarks, why would it be our turn to search? It would have been discovered long ago,\" the Heavenly General sighed. He looked around carefully, and after comparing with the map for a while, he finally confirmed the direction to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\" He waved his hand and continued to lead his men forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did Marshal make us search for this broken temple, it’s so hard to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you know, such divine seals are rare treasures. I heard that if it can be combined with our Heavenly Court’s divine seal, we can break free from constraints. By then, Marshal will hold power just like Marshal Tianpeng used to, no longer subject to others as now,\" the Heavenly General said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all trusted followers of the new Marshal Tianpeng. Since they were in the wilderness, they were not afraid of their words leaking out, which is why the secret was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s such a treasure in the world, why haven’t I heard anyone mention it before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are all taboos in the Heavenly Court, and most of these divine seals have been collected by the Heavenly Court. Now, there aren’t many left on this vast land. The Marshal had inadvertently found a map that once marked these temples, and that’s how he deduced that there is still a divine seal here yet to be found,\" the Heavenly General said with a slight sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly because this matter is forbidden by the Heavenly Court, they didn’t dare to send a large army, after all, with more people comes more gossip, who knows if it would reach the ears of that Supreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this Emperor had just expelled Marshal Tianpeng and certainly would not allow a new, uncontrollable Marshal Tianpeng to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only it’s a pity for these few of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, looking at the high mountain in front, the leading Heavenly General suddenly revealed a joyful smile and exclaimed, \"Found it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the originally exhausted group instantly revived in spirit. They all crowded around the Heavenly General, following his gaze forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, a small temple was hidden among the mountains and forests, only its corner vaguely visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve finally found it!\" The faces of the people showed joyful expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Heavenly General remained more rational. After getting over the initial excitement, he cautioned everyone, \"Don’t be careless. There are generally Great Demons inside these temples. They are powerful, many of them remnants from the Demon Court, with formidable abilities. We must be very careful. Surely none of you would like to take another trip through the Immortal Transformation Pond.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminded by his words, everyone became vigilant again and started to ascend the stairs slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were eerily quiet, not even the sound of fierce beasts could be heard, tranquil as if they were on the mountains of the Mortal World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the faces of the group didn’t reflect joy; on the contrary, their expressions grew solemn. As the saying goes, anything abnormal is a sign of demons. In Luzhou in the North, a land rife with demons, the existence of such a quiet mountain indicated the presence of something that even the numerous demons feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals did not dare to march boldly forward, but could only tread cautiously, slowly making their way towards the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet everything went more smoothly than they had imagined; no powerful demons leapt out to confront them, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the dilapidated temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw the temple doors wide open, empty inside, except for a god statue seated on a stone table and nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temple was in a state of severe disrepair, with a large hole broken in the roof. The dazzling sunlight shone through the hole, adding a touch of vitality to the otherwise dim temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, we haven’t seen the divine seal!\" A few people searched around but found the temple eerily quiet, devoid of even trivial objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the sword marks on the walls caught their attention. The Heavenly General slowly approached the wall and gently caressed the sword marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Residual Sword Qi burst forth, instantly cutting his fingertip and drawing golden blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss! Such formidable Sword Qi!\" The Heavenly General sucked in a breath of cold air. Such a powerful Sword Qi still retained its might after all this time here; to face it directly would likely cost him his life with just one blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were also shocked by the strength of the Sword Qi, yet their purpose for this trip remained unfulfilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, could it be that the Sword Immortal who left these marks has taken the divine seal?\" someone guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly General shook his head slightly. He had interacted with some Sword Immortals in the Heavenly Court. Such individuals pursued a path where one sword stroke breaks all methods and generally paid no heed to such external objects. Moreover, the divine seal was only useful to those who possessed a corresponding seal; to a Sword Immortal it was akin to a discarded rib bone and might instead incur the Jade Emperor’s displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","5faa37a9ba93088e00a947c2abb653b71c2d7ee5ddab036b5879015798c556d4","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-170","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-168",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
