256: Chapter 256 The Bluebird (1)

"Revered Master, is this the Buzhou Mountain you spoke of? It's truly magnificent!" A Yinggu's eyes widened as she gazed at the towering giant mountain before her, which pierced through the clouds. She was so amazed her mouth hung open.

Growing up in the mountains and forests since childhood, she had never seen such a tall and majestic peak. The mountain seemed to connect with the heavens, shrouded in mist and clouds, giving off a mysterious and dignified feeling.

A Yinggu thought to herself: I'm afraid even in the entire Saint Realm, it would be difficult to find a mountain taller than this!

Standing to the side, Cao Yang nodded with a smile and replied, "That's right, Little Gu, this is Buzhou Mountain. This place used to be the territory of the World Lord, Bai Cangye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yang led the group of women behind him slowly out of the flying ship. With a gentle wave of his sleeve, a powerful surge of spiritual power instantly lifted everyone up, flying towards the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

Looking down along the flight path, one could see many exquisite pavilions and grand palaces scattered orderly at the foot of the mountain. These buildings were all where Bai Cangye's followers and Disciples lived and Cultivated in the past.

Although the bustling scenes of the past were gone, one could still feel the former glory and prosperity of this place.

The area at the summit was also extremely vast, enough to accommodate an ordinary Holy Land. In the past, Bai Cangye always went into seclusion here alone to Cultivate, so not many palaces were built on the mountain.

Only three palaces stood there, but none of them were ordinary items; they were existences at the level of High Grade Sacred Artifacts. This showed that as the Lord of the Saint Realm, Bai Cangye's foundation was indeed incredibly profound.

"Cao Lang, why are there no Immortal Caves on the mountainside of Buzhou Mountain?" Dressed in white with an elegant temperament, Revered Master Ouyang Liuli gazed at the equally vast mountainside of Buzhou Mountain with her beautiful eyes, her face showing a look of confusion.

She knew that normally, major forces would provide the mountainside area to the Elders and Personal Disciples of their School to open up Immortal Caves for Cultivation.

Cao Yang, standing beside her, nodded slightly. After a moment of thought, he responded, "Well, Revered Master, in my opinion, perhaps it's due to Bai Cangye's unique personality. You should know that in the entire Saint Realm, he is the only Extreme Dao Saint. This person has always been proud and arrogant, holding himself in high regard. Monopolizing the entire Buzhou Mountain fits his style of doing things; it's quite normal."

After saying that, Cao Yang led everyone to fly into the air above Buzhou Mountain. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations; a dazzling light shot out from his fingertips, instantly shattering the powerful Barrier he had set up when he left years ago.

The reason for going through such trouble to break the Barrier was that the three great halls on Buzhou Mountain contained endless rare treasures and mysterious Legacies!

As everyone slowly landed on the wide plaza in the center of the three palaces, Cao Yang inadvertently glanced at the huge statue towering on the left.

He had caught a glimpse of this statue before, but hadn't paid much attention to it. However, at this moment, as he scrutinized it closely from a short distance, an indescribable, strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"Junior Brother, this statue looks quite ordinary! Is there really something wrong with it?" Xiao Lingxue looked at Cao Yang's suspicious expression with a face full of confusion and couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, Brother Yang, I think this statue might just be the statue of the founder of this Buzhou Mountain power. I really don't see anything special about it." Second Senior Sister Su Xuan also walked over holding A Yinggu's hand and chimed in.

Cao Yang frowned slightly and shook his head in response, "Well, it does look ordinary on the surface, but for some reason, I always have a faint feeling that something is strange." Although he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out why.

Just then, A Yinggu, standing beside Su Xuan, was suddenly attracted to the statue by her lively big eyes, and her face showed a look of great interest. She took light steps and slowly approached the statue.

Seeing this, Cao Yang and the women around them all turned their gazes toward A Yinggu's strange behavior.

"Revered Master, come and look! There's actually a little bird hidden inside this statue!" A Yinggu shouted excitedly. As she spoke, she impatiently reached out her fair and delicate hand into the interior of the statue.

To everyone's surprise, A Yinggu's small hand easily reached into the statue, as if the hard stone posed no obstacle to her at all.

Afterward, she fumbled around inside the statue for quite a while. Before long, she actually managed to catch a tiny, exquisite bird that was cyan-green in color.

"Ya ya, ow ow ow, let go! You villain, you're hurting this cave master! Hurry up and release me!" The cyan bird chirped and shouted while struggling vigorously.

What was remarkable was that this seemingly unremarkable little cyan bird, which appeared to have no Realm at all, could actually speak human tongue just like a person.

Cao Yang and the others widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. They scrutinized the cyan bird before them, which looked no different from an ordinary bird, their hearts filled with doubt and curiosity: How could such an ordinary little bird possess such miraculous ability?

While everyone was in shock, a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in Cao Yang's mind: "Ding! Congratulations, Revered Master, on successfully discovering a Chaos Spiritual Being—the Blue Bird. A task is now specially issued for the Revered Master: please go all out to conquer this Blue Bird. Upon completion of the task, you will receive one chaos emperor weapon as a reward. Does the Revered Master wish to accept this task?"

Cao Yang was instantly stunned. The sudden voice of the System left him somewhat at a loss for a moment.

He stood there blankly, muttering to himself, "The System actually wants me to conquer a bird only the size of a palm? What is going on? Could this seemingly ordinary blue bird be hiding some unknown secret?"
