27: Chapter 26 Eternal Suppression of Kunlun

A seventh-rank Demon King of the Mingdao Realm blew himself up.

The power was incredibly terrifying. Besides shaking this piece of heaven and earth, the horrific force of the explosion caused numerous cracks to appear on the dark cliff wall behind him.

Although Ye Xiu and the other had prepared in advance, they were still sent flying backwards by the blast.

When the aftermath of the explosion completely dissipated...

An Qingyi spat out a mouthful of clotted blood. Before she could take another step, she saw Ye Xiu suddenly reveal an expression of pure horror.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Ye Xiu didn't speak, but pointed toward the originally dark mountain body.

An Qingyi turned her head in confusion, and instantly, a look of horror appeared in her beautiful eyes as well.

At the very center of the explosion.

In the place where the Dragon King had originally been, the dark mountain wall was rapidly peeling away. In moments, what had been covered by rock was revealed.

It was a head.

The entire mountain was actually the head of a Vicious Beast.

A dragon head.

A dragon head tens of thousands of meters large.

Their hearts chilled, and the two quickly flew away to escape.

But then, a terrifying scene occurred.

The dragon head slowly opened its eyes. Within those massive, deathly eyes was an endless rage.

Roar—

The dragon's roar echoed.

The entire world trembled.

"Damn it, it's not dead even with only a head left?"

An invisible pressure surged into their hearts, and their flight immediately froze. Within this dragon roar, this world of infinite divine mountains seemed to experience a brief pause.

Heaven and earth were shaking.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as dark clouds gathered.

That dragon head seemed as if it were about to revive from death, its roars thundering through the world.

While horrified, the two pushed their speed to the maximum, charging desperately toward the spatial ripples between the divine mountain world and the main world.

This place was too terrifying!

If that dragon head truly revived, with that horrific power, absolutely no one would be able to survive.

Just as the two had crossed only three great mountains...

Only a minute had passed.

In the heaven and earth.

A ray of divine light suddenly appeared, drowning out the dragon's world-shaking roar and dispersing the endless gloom, returning this world to its normal state.

"What's the situation?"

The two were startled, completely unable to understand what was happening.

"Look over there..."

An Qingyi's pretty face was filled with an expression of disbelief. She used her trembling arm to point toward the dragon head, alerting Ye Xiu to look.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly and slowly turned his body.

Above the dragon head, a crescent blade that reached into the horizon was currently emitting divine light. This crescent blade, like a Heavenly Blade, had pierced through the entire dragon head, pinning it dead to the ground.

"The Blade Master's Heavenly Blade?"

Ye Xiu's heart shook violently. He never imagined that the Heavenly Blade in front of the Blade Master's tomb would have an identical counterpart here.

Could it be the same blade?

If so, was this dragon head—measuring tens of thousands of meters—pinned and killed here by the Blade Master?

A series of questions flooded Ye Xiu's mind.

What exactly happened in the Ancient times?

Why would even an invincible being like the Blade Master have a day where he died in battle?

Who could possibly kill the Blade Master?

As the divine light on the Heavenly Blade gradually dimmed, four ancient characters appeared on the blade's body.

These four ancient characters, like a divine decree, were the source of the light, stabilizing the normal operation of this world.

Eternal

Suppression

Kun

Lun

!!!

Eternal Suppression of Kunlun?

Ye Xiu found it hard to believe. He stared fixedly at the four ancient characters [Eternal Suppression of Kunlun], a tidal wave of shock rising in his heart.

This place was actually Kunlun!

The Kunlun Mountain Range was a name from the era of peace.

In ancient legends, the Kunlun Mountain Range was called Kunlun Void, the place where gods resided, with Immortal palaces standing tall.

Yet such a legendary place was suppressed by the Blade Master's Heavenly Blade.

This was unbelievable...

"The legends left by the Mysterious Lady were actually true..." Beside him, An Qingyi looked at the four words [Eternal Suppression of Kunlun] on the Heavenly Blade and unconsciously murmured to herself.

"What?" Ye Xiu immediately pressed for answers.

"My Nine Heavens Taoist Sect is extremely ancient. According to records, our founding Ancestral Master was the ancient Immortal, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady." An Qingyi spoke softly, recounting the origins of her Sect.

Ye Xiu listened quietly, not making a sound to interrupt.

He was very curious about the Taoist Sects; those cultivators of the Dao seemed to truly understand some of the world's secrets.

"In the Legacy left by our Ancestral Master, besides cultivation scriptures, there are also some legends of the world, just like the Spiritual Qi recovery and world changes left by the Ancestral Master of the Tiansheng Taoist Sect."

"The Nine Heavens Taoist Sect also has records of the world's secrets. However, after several Celestial Masters spent their entire lives searching for them, the Taoist world had long since dismissed the legends of my Nine Heavens Taoist Sect."

"I never expected that those legends were actually true."

Mist gathered in An Qingyi's eyes, clearly thinking about the destruction of her Sect.

Ye Xiu patted An Qingyi's shoulder and urged, "Keep talking, you haven't reached the part I want to hear yet."

“...”

The corner of An Qingyi's mouth twitched slightly. She forcefully slapped his hand off her shoulder before replying coldly, "According to the records, atop the Kunlun Void are buried the shattered Nine Heavens. Only by reaching the Nine Heavens can one achieve the Dao of a True Immortal. Besides this, my Nine Heavens Taoist Sect also has some secret records regarding the legendary Mount Buzhou and the Guixu Sea."

"Keep going, I love hearing these kinds of ancient legends."

An Qingyi sighed and did not hide anything.

"Mount Buzhou also has an [Eternal Suppression Restriction]. According to the records left by the Ancestral Master, beneath Mount Buzhou is related to Reincarnation, and it is one of the most terrifying places in the world."

Reincarnation?

Disbelief showed in Ye Xiu's eyes.

If Reincarnation truly existed, would death still be the end?

He looked at the pausing An Qingyi and urged again, "What about the Guixu Sea?"

"I don't know. The records of Guixu were lost long ago."

"Lost?"

Ye Xiu was speechless; even legends couldn't be passed down.

Both were lost in their own thoughts.

After nearly a minute of silence, Ye Xiu asked cryptically, "Does your Taoist Sect have any records regarding the Ancient Imperial Court?"

"Ancient Imperial Court?"

This time it was An Qingyi's turn to be confused. She had never even heard of the Ancient Imperial Court.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu stopped speaking.

He turned his head to look at the Heavenly Blade pinning the dragon head. After a moment of deliberation, he said, "I plan to investigate the vicinity of the Heavenly Blade. You're heavily injured, so you should wait for me outside."

"The Eternal Suppression Restriction of Kunlun is a record left by my Nine Heavens Taoist Sect. Perhaps I can answer some questions for the General."

"Don't blame me if you die."

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. He dared to investigate because he naturally had nothing to fear.

This Heavenly Blade was left by the Blade Master. As the Blade Master's successor, there was an eighty percent chance he wouldn't be in danger.

But An Qingyi was different.

If the Heavenly Blade had even a slight fluctuation of power...

This sole spark of the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect would be extinguished here.

"To die on the Great Dao one pursues is itself a form of transcendence." An Qingyi shook her head slightly. With a sigh, she took the lead and flew toward the Heavenly Blade.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu didn't waste any more words. He stepped through the void and caught up.
