Chapter 1367 1366: Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain
The peacock was in the lead, with the black flood dragon following behind, and below them stretched a vast, endless mountain range.
Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun stood on the dragon's back, gazing at the lush, verdant landscape below, feeling a unique sense of connection.
For many, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is synonymous with danger and terror, but for masters like Qin Hao, it's just another place. Reaching the Supreme Realm allows one to traverse the continent without fear of being killed.
It is extremely difficult to kill a Supreme Realm expert unless several Supreme Realm experts join forces. As long as a Supreme Realm expert wishes to leave, it's hard to kill them.
The black flood dragon also knew where they were heading and curbed its arrogance, aware that any random race within the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain had Bloodline Power not inferior to its own.
There was still a long distance to the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain from here.
All along the way, the person from the Peacock Clan remained silent, flying quietly at the front.
Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun admired the scenery below as he also contemplated the situation upon reaching the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.
This time, Qin Hao's journey to the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain was to express gratitude for their past assistance and to deepen cooperation. Whether for countering the nine major forces in the future or for other reasons, maintaining good relations is always beneficial.
After all, the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain is one of the top forces on the continent.
About half an hour later, the black flood dragon followed the peacock for tens of thousands of miles. Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun saw towering mountains reaching the clouds, their peaks invisible.
Wei Xianyun, seeing the mountain peak, spoke: "Is that the Buzhou Sacred Mountain?"
Qin Hao also looked at the massive peak. Although it was far away, he could still feel its aura.
Indeed, it was an aura.
All things in heaven and earth have their own aura, which the sharp senses of a cultivator can perceive.
As a sacred mountain from Ancient Times, Buzhou Sacred Mountain naturally has its own aura, primitive and ancient, emanating even from tens of thousands of miles away, which Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun clearly felt.
Moreover, the Buzhou Sacred Mountain exuded a feeling of awe and trepidation, evoking an urge to only observe from afar, not daring to approach.
...
Two hours later, the peacock ahead slowed down and spoke to Qin Hao: "We will soon reach the entrance to our Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain."
After speaking, it began to descend, with the black flood dragon following behind. Soon, a series of mountain peaks appeared ahead, towering skyward. Although not as majestic as the Buzhou Sacred Mountain, they were still grand and imposing.
The peacock swiftly landed on the ground, transforming into the shape of a middle-aged man.
Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun also landed, and then stored the black flood dragon into the system space.
"Mr. Qin, Princess Xianyun, please follow me."
They began to walk forward. Not far ahead was a series of high mountains, with an entrance.
Qin Hao glanced around; this place was unrecognizable to him, likely not the same place he remembered.
"Is there a Soul-Devouring Demon Wolf nearby?" Qin Hao asked.
The middle-aged man's face slightly shifted upon hearing this: "Has Mr. Qin been here before?"
"I ventured deep once before and encountered a Soul-Devouring Demon Wolf," Qin Hao replied calmly.
Middle-aged man: "The Soul-Devouring Demon Wolf is still about a thousand miles outside, acting as the first line of defense for our Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain. Do you have any grudge against that demon wolf?"
"It's not really a grudge, just nostalgia for an old acquaintance," Qin Hao smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man refrained from discussing the Soul-Devouring Demon Wolf further. The demon wolf was not truly a part of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain's races but a formidable beast within the depths of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, subjugated by the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.
The Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain granted it some Cultivation Techniques, otherwise, the Soul-Devouring Demon Wolf couldn't possibly take on human form.
Many such subdued beasts were tasked with guarding the periphery of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.
"This is the One Line Sky pass. Beyond here lies our Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain," the middle-aged man stated, looking at the area ahead.
This was a passageway, flanked by steep, massive peaks soaring into the clouds, hence called One Line Sky.
Qin Hao observed the surroundings; the passageway seemed man-made rather than naturally formed.
The passage was long, taking them fully ten minutes to traverse nearly a thousand miles, reflecting the enormous size of the flanking peaks.
Exiting the passage, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun's vision brightened. They stood on a cliff, overlooking an abyss so deep and dark one could not see the bottom.
Ahead stretched endless mountains, exuding a barren, ancient aura unlike those outside.
These mountains must have existed since the Ancient Times, or even the far Ancient Times?
The Spiritual Energy here was exceptionally dense, perfect for cultivation; even ordinary people could cultivate to profound realms in such a place.
"Mr. Qin, let's continue. It's still a distance to our Peacock Clan," the middle-aged man said to him.
Qin Hao nodded slightly, and the middle-aged man assumed his original form, flying deeper into the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.
The black flood dragon was summoned by Qin Hao and followed the middle-aged man deeper in.
Along the way, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun observed the situation below.
The Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, one of the top forces on the Hidden Dragon Continent, was also the most mysterious, with hardly any human cultivators visiting it.
Numerous palaces and pavilions could be seen atop the mountains below, whose inhabitants lived in ways not much different from humans.
About half an hour later, they reached the summit of a high mountain.
The mountaintop spanned dozens of miles, very expansive, with palaces and pavilions abound, grand, majestic, luxurious, and spectacular. These were built with top-tier materials even the most prestigious external royal dynasties couldn't match.
"This mountain is called Peacock Mountain, where our Peacock Clan resides. Here, each race has its own mountain," the middle-aged man told Qin Hao.
Before long, Qin Hao and his party arrived in the air above the mountain summit, where a group awaited Qin Hao's arrival.
The black flood dragon gently landed at the edge of the summit, and Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun dismounted from the dragon's back.
A handsome middle-aged man at the forefront scrutinized Qin Hao, who also returned the gaze.
"Greetings, Ning God King," Qin Hao addressed the handsome middle-aged man.
Ning God King smiled slightly: "You are Qin Hao? Indeed, a hero emerges in youth, reaching the Fourth Grade Supreme Realm in just a few years. The future holds endless possibilities for you."
Those behind him were shocked at his words; what did the Ning God King mean by that? Reaching the Fourth Grade Supreme Realm in a few years?
How is that possible? Even the most talented young prodigies of our Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain couldn't break through to the Fourth Grade Supreme Realm in just a few years.
Qin Hao: "Ning God King, you flatter me, I was just fortunate."
Ning God King: "Let's go inside."
The group entered the main hall atop the mountain, which was luxurious and spacious, with golden columns carved with ancient divine beasts, resembling both the Vermilion Bird and the peacock.
Legend has it that the ancestors of the Peacock Clan were Vermilion Bird divine beasts, among the most powerful in Ancient Times.
Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun sat down, and the Ning God King introduced, "These three are the Clan Leaders of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan, Golden Lion Clan, and Ancient Giant Ape Clan."
Qin Hao glanced at the three, noting the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan leader was a woman. Though middle-aged, she had been a peerless beauty in her youth, resembling Su Xuanji slightly, though Su Xuanji was more exquisite.
