Chapter 1097: The Ancient Mountains of Myriad_1
Venerate of Heavens, ah!
How many have dreamt of reaching this realm.
Especially the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable, although she was already a Venerate of Heavens, she was the one most moved.
Being able to have a bloodline interaction with Chu Qin, and also being able to improve her strength, what a temptation that was.
The Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable's beautiful eyes turned, seeming to calculate something.
Just then, her expression changed, and she left the loft and flew towards the skies.
"Elder Si Jing, Elder Mei Wu, what is bloodline interaction?" Han Zier asked with an innocent face, full of curiosity.
Qin Sijing and Mei Wu looked at each other. Mei Wu gave a mischievous smile and made a special gesture.
Han Zier instantly understood everything, her face turning red on the spot.
Ying'er's face also turned red.
"In at most three days, Xue'er, Bing'er, Yanyan, they will all be able to ascend to Venerate of Heavens!"
On another loft, Chu Qin, looking at Dugu Yan, Qian Renxue and the others who were undergoing their tribulation, said with a tender smile.
"Heehee, in this way, all of us sisters will be able to ascend to Venerate of Heavens," said Jiucail Xuan Nu, as she rubbed Chu Qin's shoulders, smiling.
"Yes. You bad fellow, why didn't you let me meet you sooner?" Li Qingcheng asked while feeding Chu Qin grapes, "Had it been so, I wouldn't have had to put so much effort into cultivating."
"Sister Qiancheng, when have you ever cared about realm?" Long Xue said while massaging Chu Qin's legs, smiling playfully, "If you did care about realm, you could have inherited the Boundless Immortal Force back then and become a Venerate of Heavens in one fell swoop."
"Xiao Xue, Sister Qiancheng is joking," replied Chu Qin with a calm smile.
"I know, I was just joking with Sister Qiancheng too," Long Xue said with a radiant smile.
Long Xue, Li Qingcheng, Jiucail Xuan Nu, they had all already passed the Celestial Venerable Thunder Tribulation; they had been accompanying Chu Qin during this time.
At this moment, Chu Qin's expression subtly changed.
"What's wrong?" The three women's expressions changed slightly.
They saw that the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable was leading an old man, hurrying towards them.
"Kirin Venerate!
"Elder Luo!"
Li Qingcheng, Long Xue, Jiucail Xuan Nu exclaimed in surprise.
"I pay my respects to the Domain Lord. Domain Lord, something terrible has happened!" Luo Yuan knelt down at Chu Qin's feet.
"What happened, take your time and explain," Chu Qin immediately responded.
"Domain Lord, as per your order to have all Sanctuaries explore the lost lands, two Venerate of Heavens from our Sanctum of Heaven and Earth went missing. Later, Domain Lord Pangu went personally, and now it has been ten days with no word!" Luo Yuan said with a look of anguish.
"What? Pangu Tianzun went personally and hasn't returned?" Jiucail Xuan Nu exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, it has been ten days with no news. Even Pangu Tianzun hasn't come back. Our Sanctum of Heaven and Earth couldn't make a decision, so we came right away to inform the Domain Lord!"
"Where did he go?" asked Chu Qin.
"The Ancient Mountains of Myriad, right within the Sanctum of Heaven and Earth," replied Luo Yuan.
"Alright, I will go take a look," Chu Qin nodded and said.
"I'm going too!" Li Qingcheng, Long Xue, Jiucail Xuan Nu said at the same time. Even the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable couldn't help but join in!
"Kirin Venerable, you want to go too?" Chu Qin looked at the Kirin Venerate, slightly surprised.
"Yes, I want to follow the young master and broaden my horizons," said the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable, biting her silver teeth in resolution and nodding.
She had just blurted it out on the spur of the moment.
Now, as Chu Qin looked directly at her, she felt a little flustered.
"Then let's go together!" Chu Qin nodded and said with a slight smile.
"Yes!" The Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable nodded happily.
"Let's go!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
As soon as Chu Qin finished speaking, everyone disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, they appeared above a vast expanse of sky.
"Where is this?" the women asked with puzzled faces.
"This place, why does it feel familiar?!" Jiucail Xuan Nu and Luo Yuan exclaimed in unison.
"The Ancient Mountains of Myriad," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
Before them lay successive layers, with towering mountains, each reaching a hundred thousand meters high and connected to each other.
The range of these ancient mountains seemed boundless, shrouded in mist, with ancient mountains that spanned thousands of kilometers forming a dense shade!
"It really is the Ancient Mountains of Myriad. We've traveled from the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary to the Sanctum of Heaven and Earth!" Jiucail Xuan Nu exclaimed.
The distances between sanctuaries were incredibly far, so much so that even a Venerate of Heavens would need several shichens to travel.
And yet, Chu Qin had arrived at the Ancient Mountains of Myriad in a single step.
Just how powerful had Chu Qin become now?
"What a mysterious place, shrouded in such heavy mist!" Chu Qin said unconcernedly as he looked down at the ancient mountains below, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Domain Lord, the Ancient Mountains of Myriad are one of the Ten Great Forbidden Territories of the Sanctuary. The mists here can even conceal all divine senses!" Luo Yuan explained.
"Yeah, can't see anything," Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable, Li Qiancheng, and Long Xue nodded in agreement.
"Follow me!" Chu Qin said and led everyone to rush directly into one of the ancient mountains below.
At that moment, a surprising scene unfolded.
As Chu Qin and the others entered the ancient mountain, they did not find themselves among mountains, but on an isolated island in the sea.
Here, surrounded by water on all sides, lay a massive isolated island.
The island was roughly hundreds of miles wide, and on it stood an ancient city.
Above the city, a transparent array covered the sky, and within the city were many palaces built of stone.
"A world of its own."
"There is actually a sea beneath the Ancient Mountains of Myriad!" the crowd exclaimed in succession.
"It's an illusion," Chu Qin said. "This is the real forbidden area! Interesting, I didn't expect to find over a hundred Celestial Venerates within this forbidden territory!"
"What? There are over a hundred Celestial Venerates here?" Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable said, shocked. The island before them was probably less than one hundred millionth the size of any sanctuary, yet it had over a hundred Celestial Venerates?
"Legend has it that within the forbidden lands of the sanctuary, there are bloodlines and Dao lineages of the top-tier cultivations. Their methods of cultivation far surpass those of ordinary people!" said the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable. "No one has ever seen them. I didn't expect them to actually exist!"
"Chu Qin, is Pangu Tianzun there?" Jiucail Xuan Nu asked.
"This array can block out all divine senses from inside and out! Those inside cannot sense what's happening outside, and my divine sense can't penetrate it either. It's genuinely isolated from the world. To know if Pangu Tianzun is inside, we would have to shatter the array," Chu Qin said. "However, there's no need to offend such ascetics directly. Let's go down and see what the situation is like!"
"Mmhm!" everyone nodded in agreement.
As soon as Chu Qin's voice fell, he led everyone down to the isolated island, in front of the city.
The city gate was closed tight, without even a sentry in sight, only pillars of black gold stone.
"How come there's not a soul here?" Jiucail Xuan Nu asked with some confusion.
"This isolated island must have been silent for too many years; I guess they've grown tired of guarding the gate."
"If we call, someone will come," said Chu Qin with a light smile.
"Excuse the intrusion, is anyone there?" Chu Qin's words, imbued with powerful force, resonated instantly throughout the island!
In the blink of an eye, many shining lights appeared and landed on the city walls.
These people were all young men.
But without a doubt, appearance alone was deceptive.
"Who are you, and why are you here? Leave this place at once!" a man in a white robe demanded coldly.
"Sorry to disturb, we are here to find someone," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
