802: Gray Mountains, Eighteen Bronze Platforms

"Let me see if his ashes are still of any use."

Xie Weilou walked towards God Slayer's ashes with a smile.

He scooped up a handful of ashes and discovered that the spiritual essence within them had completely dissipated, rendering them useless; it was a pity.

Had such remains not been destroyed, they would surely have possessed peerless Divine Might.

"..."

Lin Qinghuang couldn't help but roll her eyes; she was speechless that this guy wouldn't even spare the ashes.

"Hmm?"

Xie Weilou dug a peculiar blood-red token out of God Slayer's ashes.

One side of the token bore the characters "God Slayer," while the other side bore the characters "Divine Kingdom."

It seemed this was God Slayer's identity token.

After a moment of thought, Xie Weilou tucked the token into his emperor talisman, thinking it might come in handy later.

With the emperor talisman sealing it, he didn't have to worry about anyone else detecting the token's Aura unless he took it out himself.

Hum!

The plaza suddenly began to shake, the ground cracked open, white bones shattered, and a terrifying force swept up from below.

Before Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang could react, they were transported into the Primordial Divine City by this force.

Inside the Divine City.

Longevity Saintess and the others looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, their expressions strange and filled with deep apprehension.

The Power of Time here had dissipated; did this mean that God Slayer had fallen?

They just didn't know if God Slayer's fall was the work of Xie Weilou, the King of Evil Spirits, or Lin Qinghuang.

They had just sensed three extremely terrifying waves of Ultimate Emperor Might...

Regardless of whose handiwork it was, the methods Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang had displayed today were enough to make anyone wary; even an ancient existence like God Slayer had fallen, which was truly terrifying.

Boom!

Just then, the distant white bone mountain was ground into fly ash by a terrifying force surging from below.

The bone canyon was also blasted into powder, with white smoke dancing across the sky, rising straight into the firmament and obscuring the world.

The Primordial Divine City shook violently, and dense cracks appeared on the ground.

"What's going on?"

The people in the Divine City narrowed their eyes and immediately looked ahead.

Rumble!

Where the white bone mountain had originally stood, the ground was riddled with holes and crisscrossed with gullies, spraying out bursts of grey light, as a much larger grey mountain erupted from the ground.

The grey mountain was incomparably massive, with one corner still situated within the Divine City.

The moment it surged out, one-third of the Divine City instantly turned into fly ash, occupied by a corner of the grey mountain.

"This is..."

Everyone looked at the grey mountain in front of them, their eyes filled with solemnity.

This mountain was ten thousand meters high, reaching straight into the firmament, with an imposing momentum that was truly extraordinary.

In front of the mountain were eighteen bronze platforms, sloping upwards.

Each bronze platform was over five hundred meters apart, and the surfaces were covered with ancient Dao Principles, resembling eighteen ancient and mysterious bronze steps that looked far from simple.

"..."

Lin Qinghuang's gaze fell upon those eighteen bronze platforms, her expression thoughtful.

She seemed to have seen similar records in some ancient text, and she stared at the peak of the mountain again.

"There seems to be writing there..."

Ye Chuzhi looked at a cliff face on the grey mountain, where there were four ancient and mysterious grey characters: Grave of Primordial Beginning!

Everyone immediately looked at the cliff, unable to hide their shock: "Grave of Primordial Beginning? Could this mountain be the true Grave of Primordial Beginning?"

They had always assumed that the Secret Realm they were in was the Grave of Primordial Beginning.

But now it seemed that was not the case; the true Grave of Primordial Beginning was located within this Secret Realm!

The mountain before them was the real Grave of Primordial Beginning.

They hadn't even stepped into the true Grave of Primordial Beginning yet, and they had already encountered a peerless Great Ferocity; if they entered the Grave of Primordial Beginning, what would happen?

Xie Weilou gazed at the grey mountain; at its peak, seven-colored light faintly flickered. He immediately unleashed his Heavenly Eye Vision, his eyes piercing through heaven and earth.

At the peak of the mountain, a seven-colored divine tea tree appeared in Xie Weilou's line of sight.

Xie Weilou withdrew his Heavenly Eye Vision and said to Lin Qinghuang, "Qinghuang, there is a divine tea tree at the peak of the mountain."

Lin Qinghuang's eyes also flashed with brilliance, and she whispered, "That is the divine medicine of the Grave of Primordial Beginning, the primal enlightenment tea!"

"primal enlightenment tea?"

As soon as Lin Qinghuang spoke, everyone present was shocked once again.

They hurriedly looked at the peak of the mountain and indeed saw the seven-colored divine tea tree.

Legend had it that there was a divine medicine in the Grave of Primordial Beginning; now it seemed the rumors were true. There really was a divine medicine here, and it was none other than the primal enlightenment tea.

The primal enlightenment tea was a legendary supreme divine medicine that could assist people in attaining enlightenment, with Heaven-Defying effects. Its leaves were also extraordinary; a single leaf could increase one's Lifespan by five hundred years.

"I didn't expect that we would actually encounter the divine medicine."

Heavenly Cauldron's breathing grew rapid, his eyes filled with burning intensity; the primal enlightenment tea was right before them!

Lu Mingya mused, "The primal enlightenment tea is right before us, but seizing it will be extremely difficult."

Lin Qinghuang gazed at the grey mountain: "This primal enlightenment tea has been here for long, long years. If it were truly that easy to take, would it even be our turn? Moreover, this is a legendary divine medicine that has long since developed intelligence; its strength must be terrifying."

Even an existence as powerful as God Slayer was trapped here, which was enough to illustrate the horror of this place.

"..."

Everyone fell silent; what Lin Qinghuang said made perfect sense.

Longevity Saintess said, "Since we have encountered the legendary divine medicine, we naturally must give it a try. Not to mention seizing anything, even just meditating before it would yield huge gains."

The primal enlightenment tea could help people attain enlightenment; this was the most Heaven-Defying aspect of it.

She was currently at the Extreme Gui Xu Realm; if she could meditate before the enlightenment tea, she might be able to advance further and step into the Kou Gong Realm.

"That makes sense. Since we've encountered it, we must give it a try."

Imperial Abyss nodded slightly.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "Then let's give it a try! The eighteen bronze platforms should be equivalent to eighteen steps; as long as we step onto the final step, we can reach the peak of the mountain."

Longevity Saintess said, "To be safe, I will test it with my dharma body first."

She formed a seal, and a dharma body that looked exactly like her appeared beside her.

Whoosh!

The dharma body turned into a blur and instantly rushed toward the first bronze platform.

Hum!

The moment the dharma body stepped onto the bronze platform, the platform flickered with a dim light, the Dao Principles on it fully awakened, and a terrifying suppressive force struck.

The dharma body's form was faintly suppressed.

Longevity Saintess sensed the condition of her dharma body and whispered, "There is a terrifying suppressive force of Dao Principles on this bronze platform. These Dao Principles are extremely peculiar; if one meditates on them seriously, one might gain quite a bit."

With a thought, her dharma body crossed five hundred meters and rushed onto the second bronze platform.

Subsequently, the third, fourth, fifth...

Until the ninth one, when Longevity Saintess's dharma body was crushed by the powerful Dao Principles.
