The Ancient Sovereign

0Everyone followed the steps to the top of the mountain. The mountain peak he saw now was completely different from the one he saw at the foot of the mountain. The mountain had originally been standing at the foot of the mountain, but the mountain had been shrouded in thick clouds and mist, making it impossible to see clearly. From this vantage point, the thick mist had already dissipated by more than half, and the appearance of the mountain could be seen. The mountain peak was over ten thousand zhang high, and it was majestic and magnificent. However, there was a formation on top of the mountain, and one could only see the rough outline of the mountain, but could not see exactly what was on the mountain.    0

    

The higher they went, the steeper the steps became. No matter how healthy an ordinary person was, it was impossible for them to arrive here. Not only that, but the array formation in front of him was becoming more and more complex. The array formation that could be broken down with brute force now needed some time to open. However, for Han Yan who was proficient in ancient formation, he only needed a few breaths of time.    

    

There were dozens of cultivators following them, and by the time they reached the top of the mountain, there were less than ten left. These people were all panting heavily, and their foreheads were covered in sweat. As the saying goes, simply climbing up the mountain was difficult, but this place truly proved that it was difficult going down the mountain was easy. From the middle of the mountain, small formations were set up under every step. These formations had only one purpose: to increase the gravity so that cultivators wouldn't fall from the mountain. This way, he would need to use spiritual energy to climb the mountain. Otherwise, if he didn't fuse with the energy in the formation, it would harm him.    

    

Han Yan walked forward as he released his enormous Strength Of Yang, perfectly fitting every single step he took. When everyone walked forward, it was as if they were walking on flat ground. However, the cultivators that followed them were not as capable as they were, and it seemed that every few meters, they would have to use a portion of their Strength Of Yang to stabilize their body. After walking for several kilometers, they would all be exhausted.    

    

Everyone originally wanted to fly in the air, but they didn't expect that halfway up the mountain, someone would use the Forbidden Sky Technique in the sky, making it impossible to fly. Once they flew into the air, they would be struck by an enormous energy. The lightest of these energy would be serious injuries, and the worst would be death on the spot. There were too many restrictions on the road, and only ten people were able to make it to the end. These ten people were all late stage Jindan Stage Rankers, although they were still persevering on, they were actually already exhausted. If not because they were worried that Han Yan and the others would go too far and shake them off, they would have already sat cross-legged on the ground and recovered their Strength Of Yang.    

    

At this moment, the group of people could not help but exclaim: It's not that easy to obtain the treasures of the Ancient Cultivator.    

    

Han Yan's side was simply too relaxed. Not long after, he arrived at the top of the mountain.    

    

A gigantic formation suddenly appeared in front of him. Its method of laying down formations was not much worse than the one in the lava cave. However, there were traces of people breaking through the array. Many array stone were destroyed, causing the later formations to be greatly weakened. It was precisely like this, when Han Yan tried to decipher it, although it took him a little more effort, it only took him half an incense's time to do so.    

    

When the formation was broken, Han Yan did not proceed forward. Instead, he patted the storage bag on his waist and took it out, as he coldly looked ahead. The Xiao Hui sitting on Han Yan's shoulder did the same as well. It raised its sharp claws and looked forward warily, as if it was about to face a great enemy. Seeing them being so cautious, Zhou Fei and the rest were confused, not knowing what had happened.    

    

In the midst of their bewilderment, the crowd couldn't help but look forward.    

    

In front of them was an extremely large plaza. The plaza was covered with pure white jade stones, and every jade stone was around the size of a teleportation stone. A single glance was enough to make one feel insignificant. Clouds and mist shrouded the surroundings of the plaza. They were like a light muslin that was slowly drifting about. Looking ahead, there were a total of nine enormous stones about thirty feet tall. Each stone was carved with clouds of different shapes and shapes. In the center of the clouds, there were three big words written. After each stone statue, there was a flight of stairs that extended into the clouds and disappeared.    

    

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes widened, unable to believe the scene in front of their eyes.    

    

No wonder this place was called the Immortal Mountain. It really did look like a holy land for immortals. Anyone who saw it would have the impulse to bow down and worship it. Everyone could imagine how prosperous the ancient times was. Countless cultivators came and went, shuttling across the plaza. How many cultivators were there? Otherwise, how could they have built such a magnificent plaza?    

    

Zhou Guang gasped, seeing that Han Yan and the Xiao Hui were still on guard, he could not help but ask: "Master, what's wrong?"    

    

Han Yan's brows twitched as he put away the Golden Crow Copper Mirror and asked: "Nothing?" There was a reason why he was so vigilant. The formation that was just broken through was forcefully broken through by someone just now and it wasn't just a few times. This meant that there was more than one expert that had entered first. Golden Crow Pavilion wasn't far from here, and Liu Xiangtian was most likely one of them. For the sake of safety, he had to be on high alert, because not only would treasures appear on top of the mountain, he would also be ambushed by experts.    

    

Just at this time, the ten people who had followed them just happened to see Han Yan holding onto the Golden Crow Copper Mirror, and all of them opened their eyes wide. The Golden Crow's Nerve was the most precious treasure of the Golden Crow Pavilion. This was an almost public secret on the continent. Isn't the Golden Crow Pavilion's treasure in the hands of the Pavilion Lord? Why did it appear on this young expert before him? Could he be a treasure that he killed Liu Xiangtian for? Thinking about how Han Yan had killed three hundred disciples of the Golden Crow Pavilion at the foot of the mountain, everyone was even more sure about this point. If that was not the case, why would they have killed ordinary disciples of the Golden Crow Pavilion? He must have formed an irreparable hatred with the Golden Crow Pavilion.    

    

When they thought about how Han Yan, as a Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage, was able to kill a peerless expert like Liu Xiangtian, the fear in their eyes grew even stronger.    

    

Han Yan walked to the plaza first, and everyone followed closely behind. The plaza was surrounded by dense mist, which looked normal, but actually contained extremely dense Spirit Qi. Han Yan frowned, the doubt in his eyes becoming stronger. Since this place is the Golden Crow Continent, why is it that the rest of the continent is filled with dense Strength Of Yang but this place is filled with spirit energy? Could it be that Ancient Cultivator was also absorbing spiritual energy, and the reason the continent turned into this way, could it be that it had something to do with the disappearance of Ancient Cultivator?    

    

Han Yan thought until here, and his gaze landed on the nine gigantic stone sculptures. The stone sculptures were extremely lifelike, and at a glance, he could really see nine white clouds floating beside the stones. Han Yan was not the least bit interested in the stone sculpture, his gaze landed on the three big words written in the center of the white cloud. The characters were all in ancient script, and they were as beautiful as flying dragons and dancing phoenixes. If one wasn't proficient in these ancient scripts, it would be impossible to recognize them as masters.    

    

Murong Lier was someone who was not proficient in ancient languages. After looking at it for a long time, she could not recognize even a single word. She could not help but ask: "Alliance Master, what is written on it?"    

    

Just as Han Yan wanted to answer, the Xiao Hui took a step ahead and said: "The stone tablet in the middle, says' Hall of Heavens'." After speaking, he pointed to a stone monument in the west and continued, "From there, we will begin with the Heaven Temple, the Hall of Envy, the Heaven Hall, the Hall of Profiles, the Hall of Profiles, the Hall of Aral, and the Hall of Heavenly Shen."    

    

When everyone heard the words on the nine stone tablets, they all frowned and revealed puzzled expressions.    

    

Through Han Yan, Zhou Fei had become a nouveau riche in the Artifact Forging Valley, so he did not understand much about the affairs of the ancient times, and said: "Master, why is there a word" heaven "in every single character that is written here? Could it be that this place is called Heaven? " After saying that, his gaze shifted to the entrance behind him. A stone sculpture of the same size was erected there, but instead of seeing three words in the middle of the cloud, it had four. He quickly asked, "Master, what do you think those four words mean?"    

    

Han Yan turned around and read the four ancient characters out, "Nine Heavens Palace."    

    

"Nine Heavens Palace?" After hearing these four words, Chen Ye, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Could it be that this place has something to do with the legendary Nine Heavens?"    

    

"You know the Nine Heavens?" Han Yan's eyes flashed, and looked at Chen Ye.    

    

Chen Ye nodded his head, and said slowly: "Before Valley Lord Dong Die transformed, talk to me about this matter." When she talked about Dong Die, she shot a glance at Murong Lier, who was standing in front of her. Seeing that she did not reveal any strange expression, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued: "She said, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, if you want to break through, you must first enter above the Ninth Heaven and use the power of the Ninth Heaven to refine your body before you can deify yourself."    

    

had heard Xiao Yuyao talk about how to turn into a god before, but unfortunately, he did not know much and did not explain in detail. Han Yan saw that Chen Ye seemed to know a little, and continued to ask: Other than these, what else do you know? "For example, how to reach the ninth level, and how to refine the body with the nine levels of power?"    

    

Chen Ye shook his head: "I don't know, Valley Lord Dong Die said that on the continent, only the Golden Crow Pavilion has records on the Nine Heavens, other sects only know a little." Her eyes swept the passage as she spoke. She said in an excited tone: "If I'm not wrong, there should be secrets of the nine heavens in these nine places."    

    

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but reveal excited expressions. Someone said, "Chief, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly enter!"    

    

"If you enter too late, the treasure will definitely be gone."    

    

"Alliance Master, if you don't bring us along, then we'll go in ourselves."    

    

"…"    

    

For a moment, the cultivators of the two sects couldn't help but speak.    

    

When Han Yan heard these words, he was slightly silent. Then, his gaze swept across the nine paths. Finally, it fell on the furthest left path. He said lightly: "I'll take the furthest left path. If you want to move alone, I will not stop you. " As he spoke, he walked forward step by step.    

    

Seeing Han Yan leaving with the Xiao Hui, everyone's gaze suddenly landed on Chen Ye, because only she knew the situation regarding the Ninth Heaven.    

    

Someone asked, "Junior Martial Sister Chen, what nine days have we separated in these nine days?"    

    

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said: "One is Zhongtian, two is envious of the heavens, three is from the heavens, four is from the heavens, five is from the heavens, six is from the heavens, seven is from the heavens, seven is from the heavens, eight is from the heavens, nine is from the heavens."    

    

Hearing that, everyone was flabbergasted, even Murong Lier had a look of puzzlement on his face.    

    

This was because the hall that Han Yan had walked towards was the lowest level in the entire nine days, the Heaven's Expanse Palace. Even a fool could see that there were eight places in the sky. There were far fewer treasures. There might not even be many treasures. All of a sudden, everyone's gaze fell onto the Hall of Heavens in the middle. Wang Shanquan was the first to speak, "Everyone, I'm preparing to go to the Hall of Heavens. Are you coming with me?"    

    

"I …"    

    

"I'm going too …"    

    

"And me …"    

    

All of a sudden, other than Chen Ye and Murong Lier, all the other Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage s joined Wang Shan Quan's team. Foundation Establishment stage and Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, both came from the Artifact Forging Valley. They looked at Zhou Fei at the same time. Without Zhou Fei, they would not dare to follow the team. Zhou Fei didn't know what Han Yan was thinking, but at this time, what choice did he have? After which, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wherever you want to go, I'm not asking."    

    

Everyone cheered. Other than a few traveling alone, the majority of them sped up Wang Shan's team.    

    

Wang Shan's group became even stronger, she turned to look at Murong Lier, and said: "Cousin sister, let's go look for a treasure together!"
