Chapter 1577

And the cave he was in was also a cave; on its left and right sides stood towering ancient trees, their trunks thick and sturdy, their branches lush and leafy.

On the treetops, there were even clusters of verdant, glistening fruits; at a glance, it looked just like an orchard of fruit.

And right in front of the forest stood a massive hill. The rocks on that hill were all a dark, blackish color, as if piled up from chunks of black iron, and the shape of the rocks resembled a giant mouth, as though about to swallow the entire heavens and earth.

Ximen Wudi swept his gaze and discovered several lines of ancient, austere large characters written on the rock wall before him.

"I am the guardian of Divine Demon Mountain. Divine Demon Mountain has a total of five layers! The fifth layer is an unknown space! Within it lies a seal; whether it can be broken depends entirely on fate."

Seeing those ancient, austere characters, the smile on Ximen Wudi's lips grew even thicker:

"What a fate!"

"And there is even a mountain peak here, and this mountain peak is none other than the legendary Divine Demon Mountain. Divine Demon Mountain — this is truly an extraordinary treasure land!"

The burning intensity in Ximen Wudi's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

In Ximen Wudi's view, the gains from this trip had already far exceeded his expectations.

After obtaining that Long Feng Token, he would be able to use it to head to Dragon Tiger Mountain!

And within Divine Demon Mountain, there was also a place of inheritance — this place of inheritance was the inheritance ground of the ancient dragon clan, and the inheritance within would absolutely be earth-shattering!

"Big Brother Ximen Wudi! Come quickly!"

Suddenly, a clear, pleasant voice rang out.

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi hurriedly raised his head.

At this moment, he saw, on the ground not far away, a familiar, beautiful, graceful figure.

She was a young girl of only sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a blue gown, a head of glossy black hair cascading over her shoulders, her skin fair and delicate like mutton-fat jade, her oval face bearing a delicate little dimple, giving one the亲切 feeling of a little neighbor girl.

Especially the girl's body, which emanated an air of delicate frailty, as though she would topple at the slightest breeze.

"This miss! I'd like to ask, do you know how one can enter the Divine Demon Tomb?"

Upon seeing the girl, Ximen Wudi was slightly taken aback, then immediately asked her.

"Enter the Divine Demon Tomb?"

The girl looked at Ximen Wudi, her big dewy eyes filled with puzzlement.

"Yes! You just said it yourself — within this Divine Demon Tomb there is danger, so I want to go inside and have a look."

"However… the dangers within the Divine Demon Tomb are too great. If I want to rely on my own strength to enter, it would certainly be very difficult. I can only ask you all to help me enter the Divine Demon Tomb!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, a thoughtful expression appeared on the girl's pretty face.

After pondering for a moment, the girl asked Ximen Wudi:

"Where do you want to enter?"

"Are there many dangers here?"

"Yes!"

The girl nodded at Ximen Wudi and said:

"Besides some fierce beasts, the most terrifying thing here is the illusions within! Once you fall into an illusion, you'll lose your sense of direction and feeling, and in the end, get lost!"

"In the end, you'll be trapped to death within an illusion! And once you lose your sense of direction and feeling, you'll be completely trapped within the illusion, unable to escape."

Listening to the girl's words, Ximen Wudi's brows furrowed, and he sighed inwardly.

He had not expected that this first trial would already be so troublesome.

Moreover, he had absolutely no idea how to break through this first trial, because from the girl's mouth, the information he obtained contained nothing whatsoever about this Divine Demon Tomb.

"Miss, could you tell me where exactly this place is?"

Ximen Wudi continued to inquire.

"Divine Demon Valley!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, the girl was also stunned for a moment, then said to Ximen Wudi.

"Divine Demon Valley is a special place. According to legend, this is a strange world, and within this world there are all manner of monsters, demon beasts, and demonic beasts, as well as some unknown existences. Moreover, each person has their own set of methods to resist the illusions within Divine Demon Valley, so if you want to enter the Divine Demon Tomb, you only need to find a relatively safe place."

The girl said slowly to Ximen Wudi:

"The Divine Demon Tomb is divided into nine layers in total."

"Moreover, the second layer is the Forest of Demon Beasts, the third layer is the Forest of Demonic Beasts, the fourth layer is the Forest of Demon Kings! And these five layers are controlled by fierce beasts at the Divine King level!"

"The so-called Divine Demon Mountain refers to a Divine Demon Mountain above the Divine King level. This Divine Demon Mountain is called the Divine Demon Tomb, and within it exist many opportunities, but at the same time there exist boundless dangers!"

After hearing the girl's explanation, Ximen Wudi suddenly understood:

"So that's how it is!"

"Since Divine Demon Valley is so terrifying, then how should I enter?"

"Very simple! Just break through the first layer. As for what comes after, there are still many things, and you'll need to rely on luck to find them!"

The girl said to Ximen Wudi.

After hearing the girl's explanation, Ximen Wudi nodded.

"Alright! Since that's the case, then I'll break through the first four layers."

Having said this, Ximen Wudi tapped his toe and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

However, just as Ximen Wudi was about to leave, a cold voice rang out from behind him.

Hearing this voice, Ximen Wudi's brows also tightened, and he slowly turned around:

"Miss, do you need something?"

"I want to have a contest with you, to see who can reach the fourth layer of this Divine Demon Tower first!"

A provocative smile appeared on the girl's pretty face:

"If you win, I'll take you to the third floor. If you lose, you must take me into the third floor of the Divine Demon Tower!"

"You want to compete with me?"

Hearing the young girl's words, the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth also curved into a faint smile:

"Alright! Since that's the case, then let's compete! But I'd like to know, what's your name?"

"My name is Lin Shihan, you can call me Shihan!" The young girl gave Ximen Wudi a charming smile, then headed straight toward a direction: "Let's go!"

Seeing the direction Lin Shihan was heading, Ximen Wudi couldn't help but be stunned:

"My heavens! That's the road leading to the fourth floor — she's actually going to take the fourth floor?"

Thinking of this, a scene involuntarily surfaced in Ximen Wudi's mind:

A young man and a beautiful young girl, atop a mountain peak, battling each other. Although the young man held the upper hand, he was forced to retreat step by step by the young girl, and in the end was even beaten until gravely injured.

Thinking of this, a bead of sweat involuntarily broke out on Ximen Wudi's forehead:

"This girl — is she crazy, or just far too confident?"

"Forget it! Whether she's crazy or foolish, the fourth floor holds no threat to me whatsoever. I can pass through the fourth floor with ease."

Ximen Wudi shook his head and headed forward.

Before long, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the first trial, and at that moment, a voice also came from ahead:

"Lin Shihan, you've already been inside the Divine Demon Tower for a full three days, haven't you? Why haven't you entered the Divine Demon Tomb yet?"

"Yes! It's already been three days! And my pace is very slow, but I must persist until the final trial. I believe my talent is no worse than Ximen Wudi's!"

Area No. 7, Zone 1281

"Ximen Wudi? Is he the one who defeated you?"

"That's right! That day in Area No. 7, if not for his sneak attack, I wouldn't have been successfully ambushed by him! So I absolutely cannot lose!"

Hearing Lin Shihan mention Ximen Wudi, the young man's brows also lifted, his heart filled with thick hatred toward Ximen Wudi, and he immediately shouted coldly:

"Ximen Wudi! Get out here! How dare you hurt Sister Shihan — I'll make you wish you were dead!"

After these words fell, the young girl's pretty face also flushed red, and she said coquettishly:

"Lin Fan, stop messing around! I'm training inside the Divine Demon Tomb, not at a martial-arts marriage contest! Besides, you've never even seen Ximen Wudi — he's just an ordinary disciple!"

"Hmph! If you like him so much, then stay behind and keep him company. Anyway, inside the Divine Demon Tomb, it's full of dangers. I think a girl like you is quite pitiful too — better just obediently stay here and not go train!"
