Chapter 1717: Rumors about Fengshan Platform

Chapter 1717 Rumors about Fengshan Platform

By now, Lin Xun had already had a rough idea.

In the underworld of the Ancient Nebula Road, there were three big giants: the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, the Earth Treasury Realm, and the Copper Sparrow House.

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect regarded themselves as Holy Apostles, who carried out killings by order of the gods.

The Earth Treasury Realm saw themselves as ferrymen and made it their task to eradicate all heresies in the world.

The Copper Sparrow House, on the other hand, was like the lawmaker and guardian of the underworld, having power that spread throughout the underworld and far-reaching influence.

Where there was light, there was darkness.

As for where exactly the underworld was, most cultivators couldn’t say.

This included A’hu, who only said that the underworld was just a generalized name for chaotic areas. The more turbulent a place was, the more likely it would be infiltrated by dark forces.

This undoubtedly made the Three Dark Giants seem even more mysterious.

It was also from this moment that Lin Xun started to have some vigilance.

Being targeted by the two Dark Giants at once, which were the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and the Earth Treasury Realm, it was impossible for anyone to remain indifferent.

……

One day later.

Treasure Refining Land suddenly trembled from the sky to the ground. All the cultivators within stopped what they were doing one after another.

“This place is going back into being sealed…” someone whispered.

“The real test begins from this moment, and so does the real danger. Let’s not forget that only a handful of people have been able to walk out of the Kunlun Dominion alive in the entire history!” Some looked grave.

Treasure Refining Land was only considered a part of the periphery of the Kunlun Dominion, so it wasn’t that dangerous.

But the depths of the Kunlun Dominion were different as every corner was filled with deadly tribulations. Just a puddle of mud or an inconspicuous blade of grass could take the life of a supreme Big Saint!

This was not an exaggeration, but something that had actually happened in years past.

“Deep inside the Kunlun Dominion lie great perils and also great fortunes. The secrets it hides are like a fog that no one has been able to see through since countless years ago. This time, I wonder how many can grasp their opportunity…” Some people drifted off into thought.

Boom!

A while later, the sky emitted a heavy vibration that caused the mind to tremble.

And then, thick and green rattan vines descended from the sky one after another onto different parts of Treasure Refining Land.

“The Heaven Ascending Vines are here!”

Many cultivators began moving.

Some took out their cherished treasures, some deployed spells, while others activated the power in their qi…

They were trying to probe with their cultivation.

There were countless Heaven Ascending Vines, up which cultivators only needed to climb to be transported from Treasure Refining Land into the true Kunlun Dominion.

However, half of these vines lead to deathtraps. Those who were unfortunate to select them were highly likely to arrive at an abhorrently dangerous land!

The number of cultivators who had died because they accidentally entered a deathtrap was uncountable.

“Let us get moving as well,” said A’hu as she tossed out a silver-colored hairpin with dense runes engraved on it.

Buzz!

The hairpin glowed and pointed at a distant place.

“Go.” A’hu led the way.

As Lin Xun followed closely behind, he suddenly thought back to that year in the Omega Secret-Realm, when he had broken through the last three levels of the Great Azure Cloud Path and subsequently obtained three treasures.

They were the God Burning Wings, the Heavenly Destiny Force, and the Stellar Galaxy Guide.

According to the mysterious woman, the Stellar Galaxy Guide was extremely miraculous. Regardless if one was lost in the boundless universe, caught in a natural maze, or mistakenly entered a great predicament, they could use this treasure to deduce a path to survival.

“Here it is.”

Before long, A’hu stopped. In front of them in the distance was a mountain, and before the mountain was a gigantic, bucket-thick, horizontal vine.

From afar, it was like a green python hanging upside down from the sky!

The silver hairpin was pointing at this Heaven Ascending Vine.

Lin Xun looked up to see but failed to tell how long this vine was, as if it was extending down from beyond the sky.

“Climbing up to the sky is Kunlun, a boundless and sprawling ruin that buries countless secrets and perils. Be careful after you arrive there.”

After giving Lin Xun a little warning, A’hu was about to move when a voice as gentle as the spring breeze suddenly rang out, “What a coincidence to meet the two of you here.”

Appearing alongside the voice were ripples in the distant void, from which three figures then walked out one after another.

The one at the very front was slim as he was clad in a wide-sleeved robe with a belt. Elegant and handsome, it was precisely Meng Yi, the most offbeat pureblood of the Qiongqi Battle Clan.

Accompanying him were Ji Qian and Jiang Heng of the Xuanji Dao Sect, who were greatly startled when they saw Lin Xun and A’hu.

Ji Qian frowned, while Jiang Heng’s pretty face became frosty.

And when Lin Xun saw Jiang Heng, he also revealed a look of surprise. He quickly recognized her to be the woman who had called him a thief in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm.

“A coincidence indeed.” Lin Xun laughed as he swept a glance at Ji Qian. “If I have guessed correctly, back then, it was you who tried to rob my treasure, right?”

Ji Qian grunted coldly, “You took a slew of our sect’s divine herbs when you were in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet!”

Lin Xun sneered, “Hah, is the Flying Immortal Battle Realm your Xuanji Dao Sect’s backyard? Some ownerless herbs become yours just because you have your eye on them?”

“Everyone, since it’s just some small matter, how about we let bygones be bygones? If Brother Lin suffered any losses, then I, Meng Yi, will make up for it, how about that?” intervened Meng Yi with a smile. His warm voice made people feel like they were being bathed by the spring breeze.

“Not interested,” said Lin Xun stiffly.

Meng Yi’s expression froze, as if he hadn’t expected him to be so hard to talk to. Meanwhile, Ji Qian and Jiang Heng were indignant and glaring angrily at Lin Xun.

They were about to say something but Meng Yi stopped them.

Meng Yi said, “Forget it. Since Treasure Refining Land is about to fall into a sealed state, let’s leave this place first instead of recounting the trivialities of the past.”

Lin Xun and A’hu shared a look and did not object.

Next, Meng Yi led Ji Qian and Jiang Heng and jumped into action. They steadily landed onto a huge, plump, green leaf on the Heaven Ascending Vine.

A’hu and Lin Xun followed suit, also choosing a leaf and leaping onto it.

There was no need to climb at all as the thick rattan vine began to contract rapidly toward the sky, escalating them up as a result.

On the way, Meng Yi cupped his fist and introduced himself, “Brother Lin, I’m Meng Yi of the Qiongqi Battle Clan.”

Lin Xun shot him a glance. “I’m not the unreasonable kind. You can just say what you have to say.”

Meng Yi thought for a moment and said, “I’ve come here intending to head to a treacherous place in the Kunlun Dominion for an opportunity within it, so if I may have the aid of a Flying Immortal Tablet, then I will have secured a seventy-percent chance of obtaining it…”

Not waiting for him to finish, Lin Xun smiled. “So you also want the Flying Immortal Tablet?”

Ji Qian and Jiang Heng frowned. They couldn’t shake off this feeling that Lin Xun’s smile and remarks carried an indescribable flavor of sarcasm that made people very uncomfortable.

Meng Yi, however, seemed to be oblivious to it and nodded frankly, “Exactly. I, however, don’t want to trouble Brother Lin too much. If it’s possible, I hope we can cooperate and travel to that land of opportunity together. Whatever I will harvest there definitely has your share as well.”

Before Lin Xun could reply, A’hu suddenly said, “Can you reveal which place it is that you are going to?”

Meng Yi answered after a moment of silence, “The Fengshan Platform.”

Those three words grasped A’hu’s absolute attention. “As far as I know, everyone who has ever entered that place never returned alive. It can be called the most taboo land of perils in the Kunlun Dominion. Even a Flying Immortal Tablet won’t be of much help.”

Meng Yi was surprised. “I didn’t think you’d know about the Fengshan Platform. You’re right, since ancient times, no one has ever been able to survive it. But this time will be different.”

Saying that, he flipped his palm, and a scroll appeared. Even though it was sealed, the scroll still gave off a mysterious aura of the vast ancient world.

It was like a will from the heavens. Although concealed, it already possessed a supreme might!

“This is a Fengshan Monumental Tablet that my ancestor obtained by chance. The records in it are branded with supreme primordial spirit power and are all related to the Fengshan Platform. With this treasure and the help of the Flying Immortal Tablet, we can safely visit that place!”

Meng Yi looked confident as he declared this.

A Fengshan Monumental Tablet!

Ji Qian and Jiang Heng were both taken aback. They hadn’t known that Meng Yi possessed such a divine object.

A’hu looked at Lin Xun, waiting for his decision since this kind of matter was up to him.

However, she had already transmitted and informed him that Meng Yi shouldn’t be lying because without the Flying Immortal Tablet, he wouldn’t dare to barge into the Fengshan Platform without authorization!

Under this circumstance, even if he harbored evil intentions, at least he still wouldn’t have the guts to act recklessly at the Fengshan Platform.

Lin Xun said, “I’m quite curious. What exactly is the Fengshan Platform hiding that makes you insist on going there even though you know the trip will be perilous?”

Stressing every word, Meng Yi replied, “It’s rumored to hold the secret of becoming an Emperor, an Ancestor!”

A single sentence shocked everyone to the core.

The Emperor, the Ancestor stages!

Not to mention supreme Big Saints, even quasi-Emperors and half-step Emperors would risk their lives fighting for such a supreme opportunity!

At this moment, even Lin Xun fell silent.

“The two of you don’t have to make a decision in a hurry since there is still half a month left before we head to the Fengshan Platform. During this period, you can contact me at any time if you’ve made up your mind.”

Saying that, Meng Yi handed a messaging talisman to Lin Xun. “Crush this talisman, and I will be able to come and join you as soon as possible.”

After a pause, he continued, “In order to show my sincerity, I swear to follow the two of you closely during the operation and severely punish those who dare to obstruct you!”

A biting chill flashed in his gentle eyes when he reached the end of his sentence.

“I’ll think about it.” Lin Xun accepted the talisman.

Meng Yi finally smiled. “You are an extraordinary character, Brother Lin. I’m looking forward to working with you.”

From beginning to end, he was humble and gentle, knew when to advance and retreat, and displayed impeccable manners and sincerity.

Even Lin Xun could not find a single reason to dislike this person.

But of course, one must not judge a book by its cover, for no one who could become a supreme Big Saint was a simple character!

Boom!

Shortly after, the Heaven Ascending Vine shook as it carried Lin Xun’s group and leaped into a deep, dark rift in the middle of the sky.
