Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2159: Getting there first

The flames of the Everlasting Fire turned into fire dragons, which were aggressive and chased Qin Sang and the Young Master. When Qin Sang and the Young Master retreated to the vicinity of the Wuding Baji Diagram, the area was already surrounded by dark blue flames.

The mermaid pressed forward step by step, but her figure appeared and disappeared from time to time, and each time she relied on the mirror magic to change her position, making it elusive to prevent Qin Sang and the young master from suddenly counterattacking.

The Wuding Baji Diagram was right in front of them, but the young master had not fully unleashed the power of this treasure. The two of them seemed to have forgotten about the treasure map and just kept running forward.

This was naturally what they did on purpose. They did not want to continue to tangle with the mermaid, but if the mermaid was too arrogant and did not notice the danger and took the initiative to fall into the trap, they would not mind teaching her a lesson.

While retreating into the Wuding Baji Diagram, Qin Sang was already prepared to use the Golden Heaven-binding Lock, and both of them were closely watching the movements of the mermaid.

Unfortunately, the mermaid was very cautious. When she was about to get close to the Wuding Baji Diagram, she felt a sense of alarm. Her eyes swept across the mountains, her face changed slightly, and her figure suddenly exploded into water droplets.

The next moment, she appeared on a mountain thousands of feet behind her. At the same time, the eternal flames dissipated, and the fire dragon swam back to the top of the mermaid's head, staring at Qin Sang and the young master.

Seeing that there was no chance, the young master stretched out his hand, and a mysterious yellow light flowed across the earth, turning into a scroll and jumping into the young master's palm.

Qin Sang looked behind the mermaid and saw a long fungal carpet appearing on the ground, extending all the way to the horizon.

In a short time, the masters of the Fungus People had arrived at the place where they had fought before. A giant red mushroom grew on the ground, much taller than the surrounding mountains.

The mushroom cap opens to both sides, like a strange house.

A crack appeared on the body of the red mushroom, and when it split open, it turned out to be a huge eye. The eyeball moved nimbly and stared at this place.

Qin Sang's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he and the young master each used escape techniques, and left without looking back.

The mermaid was eager to try and wanted to chase them again, but seemed to be dissuaded. She said unwillingly: "Sister, why don't you take action and just let them go? The treasures in the big evil's lair may have been swept away by them."

After a moment, a vague voice came from the sky, "There is no chance! Young Master is the right-hand man of Emperor Si. The fact that the human cultivator was recognized by the Siyou tribe may not reflect his true strength. We must use this initial period of time to complete the task as soon as possible. It would be a pleasant surprise if we can gain something this time, but it is not a pity if we don't. We can only blame ourselves for coming a step late."

The mermaid shook her long tail vigorously, snorted, put away her eternal flame, turned around and flew towards the giant red mushroom.

……

Qin Sang and the young master flew quickly for a while, and when they were sure that there were no pursuers behind them, they lowered their escape lights.

There were many twists and turns as soon as they entered the holy land, but fortunately, this trip was not in vain. They had a general understanding of the terrain in this area and at least confirmed that this was not a rootless island.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to investigate separately. Two hours later, they met at the agreed place.

"What did Master Qin discover?" asked the young master.

Qin Sang shook his head. "I didn't find any special signs on the geomancy map, but there are a few places that can help you make your judgment..."

He told his discovery, and the young master said, "Master Qin's findings can basically support my judgment. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be near Baizu Divine Mountain!"

"The Hundred-foot Divine Mountain..."

Qin Sang's mind flashed with information about Baizu Mountain. This mountain is a huge mountain range consisting of a main mountain range and countless branch mountain ranges. Located in the west of the holy land, the mountain is north-south oriented and slightly inclined. Most of the branch mountain ranges are east-west oriented, like long legs extending from the main mountain, hence the name Baizu Mountain.

"Are we on the eastern or western slope of Baizu Sacred Mountain?" Qin Sang asked immediately.

There is a big difference between the east slope and the west slope. The place they agreed with Si Huang is east of Baizu Divine Mountain. If it is at the west slope, they must cross the main mountain.

"Looking at the surrounding terrain, I originally thought that we had landed on the western foot of the sacred mountain, but then I discovered some details and it should be on the eastern foot!" The young master said in a relaxed tone.

Qin Sang's expression relaxed a little. It was not so easy to climb over the Baizu Divine Mountain. Although they were not afraid of danger, the less trouble they had, the better.

"If Master Qin has nothing else to do, let's set off now," the young master suggested.

Qin Sang had no objection. After they figured out the direction, they immediately flew eastward.

As they flew for several days, the terrain below gradually became flatter, the mountains became lower, and the water flows became more abundant.

They flew for several days along a large river, where the river merged into a vast ocean-like body of water. The place was marked as the Falling Sky Lake on the feng shui map.

Arriving at the Skyfall Lake proved that the young master's judgment was correct. They only needed to cross the lake and they would be not far from the agreed place.

Without stopping, they immediately flew into the lake, taking turns to be on guard along the way. They encountered almost no danger along the way, and only sensed the aura of other monks twice, but did not stop to investigate carefully.

In fact, although there are many Inhuman masters entering the holy land, scattered throughout the vast holy land, especially at the beginning, most of them have clear goals and will try their best to avoid fighting. As long as you are determined to hide, it will not be easy to encounter them.

If the beast hadn't been so furious and caused such a huge noise, they wouldn't have encountered three waves of opponents in succession. Therefore, Qin Sang was not worried about Liuli's safety, and Master Ning would definitely give her a treasure for self-defense.

On the eighteenth day after entering the holy land, they finally crossed the Falling Sky Lake and reached the east coast.

The landforms on the east coast are completely different from those on the west coast. The ground is covered with cracks, like cracked land after a severe drought. The bottom of the gullies is full of vitality, but the grass and trees here are mostly as black as ink, just like the land, which looks a bit eerie.

They were flying over the ravine, and the young master concentrated and sensed, and finally locked on the correct direction.

three days later.

They came to the top of a ravine and looked down into the depths of the ravine.

The scenery inside is no different from anywhere else, perhaps the grass and trees are more lush, and there is no sense of abnormality.

The young master took out a jade token and crushed it. After a moment, a steady voice came from the depths of the ravine, "But has the young master arrived?"

"It's the eldest prince!"

The young master informed Qin Sang through voice transmission, and said from the void, "It is me, honored to meet the eldest prince."

As the sound came, tiny ripples appeared in the ravine and turned into a portal.

Qin Sang followed the young master, flashed through the door, came to the bottom of the valley, and met the eldest prince. This man was dignified and had the bearing of a king, but it could be seen that he was deliberately imitating the emperor in some places.

It is said that the eldest prince is the only one among all the princes who was born by Si Huang through the harmony of Yin and Yang. He is the most like Si Huang and is the most respected. The eldest prince has lived up to everyone's expectations and has broken through to the middle stage of the second level of the Void Realm. He is expected to inherit the throne in the future.

There was a person standing next to the eldest prince. His face was covered by a veil, and his figure looked more like a woman. He was also in the middle stage of the second level of the Void Realm, but the young master did not neglect him at all. He bowed and said, "I am here to meet you."

This man's name consisted of only one character - Chao. His family background was unknown. He was a guest official in the eldest prince's mansion and held no official position. However, the eldest prince treated him as a teacher.

The Junior Master is the right-hand man of the Emperor Si, not the master of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince turned his head to look at Qin Sang, "Si Ge has met Master Qin! Si Ge has heard of Master Qin's deeds and has admired him for a long time. In order to improve our strength, we hurriedly arrived before the holy land began, but unfortunately we were unable to visit Master Qin."

"I don't deserve the high regard of the Grand Prince."

Qin Sang bowed in return, but didn't detect Si Huang's presence and frowned secretly.

"Has Lord Si Huang not arrived yet?" asked the young master.

"We happened to be nearby and have been waiting for several days, but there is still no news from our father..."

There was a hint of worry in the eldest prince's eyes. He was not worried about the safety of the Emperor Si, but was worried that if he delayed too long, something unexpected would happen.

Before Si Huang arrived, they didn't know the exact location of the target and could only wait patiently. Fortunately, Si Huang didn't make them wait too long. On the morning of the third day, Si Huang's voice was heard from outside the valley.

When the three parties met, Si Huang looked exhausted and it seemed that the journey had not been easy.

He glanced around, "Only the four of you?"

The eldest prince replied respectfully, "There is no news about the whereabouts of the others yet. Should we wait a little longer?"

"No need!" Si Huang said in a deep voice, "There is no time to lose. Leave the secret message and we will set off immediately!"

He must have invited more helpers than these, but the most important ones were undoubtedly Shao Shi and Qin Sang, and the others were secondary. He asked them to go together to ensure that they could arrive in time.

The group of six left behind secret instructions, then displayed their magical powers and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The person traveling with Si Huang was his concubine, who was given the title of Concubine Anling. Her cultivation was comparable to that of the eldest prince and her strength was quite impressive.

When the six of them join forces, their strength can be considered top-notch in the entire holy land. Unless they encounter ferocious beasts from the holy realm, there are very few things that can daunt them.

Si Huang took the lead, and everyone followed closely behind him, flying north along the eastern shore of the Falling Sky Lake.

After several hours, the sky gradually darkened. They sped through the night and finally arrived at their destination.

Above a ravine, Si Huang stopped and looked down at the valley floor.

The scenery on the east bank of the Falling Sky Lake at night is very different from that during the day. The gullies are pitch black under the night sky, and the trees are like evil spirits with bared fangs and claws, which is even more eerie and terrifying.

Qin Sang awakened the Tianmu Butterfly and secretly used his Tianmu magical power, but he could not see anything unusual below.

At this time, Si Huang sat cross-legged in the air, raised his right hand, and gently twisted his fingers. A fine dust fluttered down and scattered with the wind.

Then, Si Huang changed the seals of his hands and struck at the void, causing mysterious changes. Si Huang seemed to be looking for something, but after a quarter of an hour, there was still no reaction around him.

The young master and others who knew the inside story were not surprised. The place they were looking for was not fixed in one place, but moved everywhere. Since the royal family discovered this place, it took a lot of effort to find it every time.

Another hour passed, and Si Huang suddenly stood up and ran quickly in one direction, and everyone hurriedly followed.

There was no sign of other cultivators nearby, so they remained cautious and followed Si Huang, quietly arriving near a circular valley.

This is the largest and deepest valley around, with no bottom in sight. The aura emanating from it astonishes everyone.

“There are so many ferocious beasts living here!”

The eldest prince was surprised.

There is a nest of ferocious beasts in the deep valley, and more than one kind of ferocious beasts lives here. There are two different tribes on the west and east sides respectively, and both tribes have powerful ferocious beasts comparable to the Void Refinement Stage.

It is hard to imagine how they can coexist peacefully, perhaps because the valley is wide enough, or perhaps they have just migrated here and the winner has not yet been decided.

Everyone looked at Si Huang, waiting for his decision.

"Get rid of them, otherwise if something unexpected happens and the beasts riot, it will only make the situation more chaotic," Si Huang said decisively, "clean up all the traces carefully!"

"Yes!"

Young Master and Qin Sang flew towards the beast's lair on the east side, An Ling, the eldest prince and the court attendant went west, and Si Huang dodged and fell into the middle of the deep valley.

……

'Whoosh! '

'Whoosh! '

Qin Sang and the young master quietly came to the beast's lair.

"Thank you, Master Qin, for using the Heaven-binding Golden Lock to suppress the ferocious beast," said the young master.

It is an open secret that the Great Priest's Golden Lock to Bind the Sky fell into Qin Sang's hands. Having obtained such a treasure, there is no reason not to refine it.

They had to get rid of this group of ferocious beasts, but they also had to avoid causing too much fluctuation and attracting other people's attention. The disadvantage of the Wuding Bajitu was that it took time to set up in advance. The Kuntian Jinsuo was not a waste of talent. There was a ferocious beast below that was comparable to the middle stage of Lianxu. The beast's magical powers were strange and unpredictable, so it would be okay to be cautious.

Qin Sang nodded, swung his sleeves, and golden light broke through the air and turned into a golden lock.

This action immediately alarmed the ferocious beast below, and a powerful aura burst out.

"Goo!"

'Shuh! '

A stream of gray gas shot out from the dense forest at an extremely fast speed.

In the gray air, there was a strange and ferocious beast that looked like a toad but had eight legs. It had only one vertical eye on its face and was glaring at Qin Sang as if flames were spewing out of it.

"Goo!"

Its throat rolled and its mouth opened slightly, as if it was about to spit out something.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky and swept across the beast. The golden light seemed gentle and harmless, but it made the beast's body stiff, its eyes dull, and the contents of its throat could no longer be sprayed out.

With a cultivation level comparable to that of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, it was indeed difficult to resist the power of the Void Realm. The young master had already been waiting nearby and did not give the beast a chance to resist. He acted decisively, and a large furry hand appeared in the void and slapped the beast hard.

The beast couldn't put up any resistance. With a snap, its head exploded and its brains splattered everywhere.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The young master clapped his hands several times, ending the life of the ferocious beast, and then slapped the dense forest with another palm, completely destroying the entire group of ferocious beasts.

Qin Sang stayed behind to deal with the aftermath, while the young master went to the other side to help.

Soon, the ferocious beasts were cleared out and Si Huang also found the entrance.

They came to a black jungle. They didn't know what magic the Emperor used, but a small path appeared in the forest, winding and leading to a secluded place.

At the end of the path, a mountain appeared in front of everyone. The round top of the mountain looked like a tomb. At the foot of the mountain was a cave made of blue bricks, like a tomb passage.

There was a glimmer of joy in Si Huang's eyes. He was about to slip into the blue brick tomb passage, but his expression suddenly changed and he stared at one side of the tomb passage.

Everyone noticed his abnormality and looked in the direction he was looking, but they could see nothing.

Si Huang's face became increasingly gloomy, and he said coldly: "Someone got there first!" (End of this chapter)
