Chapter 510: Chapter 421 Mountain Climbing
The couple lived in seclusion on Fierce Bird Mountain, entwined in sweetness, yet full of ambition.
Outside Fierce Bird Mountain, winds and clouds were gathering.
In the Nine Heavens, Dongning Venerable stirred up the winds and clouds everywhere, then suddenly vanished, leaving things hardly peaceful.
In the Immortal Gate Realm, the ’Tyrant’ appeared out of nowhere and then lay dormant for four hundred years, leaving some worried and eager for the ’Tyrant’ to emerge with the other parts of the Divine Artifact ’Holy Angel’.
But it never happened.
During those four hundred years, the ’Tyrant’ never acted again.
The chaos in the Divine Throne World came to an end, the seven pieces of the ’Holy Angel’ emerged one after another, each finding its master. The Four Great Immortal Courts finally managed to focus their efforts on returning to the Nine Heavens to resolve the issues with Dongning Venerable.
Outside the Four Immortal Courts.
In Great Mo Ridge.
Yu Ming Immortal Venerable, Golden Light Immortal Venerable, Taiyin Immortal Venerable, and Guangmu Immortal Venerable gathered together, along with others such as Shanhua Venerable and Wanying Venerable.
Four Immortal Courts, four Immortal Venerables, ten Heavenly Venerates.
The lineup was unprecedentedly formidable.
Even Taiyin Immortal Venerable is an old-time Immortal Venerable, having achieved Dao seventy-eight hundred thousand years ago, older than Yu Ming and Guangmu Immortal Venerables, only surpassed by Golden Light Immortal Venerable by a mere ten thousand years.
"Dongning has not appeared for two hundred years, unknown what plot they are brewing."
"Since everyone is gathered today, let us not hold back, we shall deduce the heavenly secrets together to determine their whereabouts."
Taiyin Immortal Venerable had a delicate and gentle appearance like a woman. He became an immortal over seven hundred thousand years ago and specialized in a skill of deducing heavenly secrets, best at finding people.
However, deducing the whereabouts of a Heavenly Venerate is no easy task.
Even Taiyin Immortal Venerable cannot do it alone, needing the help of the other three Immortal Venerables and all Heavenly Venerates.
"I will do my utmost."
Golden Light Venerate’s voice was loud and coldly snorted, "The thief Dongning took advantage of us being entangled with the Divine Artifact ’Holy Angel’, stirring wind and rain in the Nine Heavens. Now that the Divine Artifact pieces each have a master, it is her end!"
Golden Light Venerate was filled with rage for many years, eager to kill.
Yu Ming Immortal Venerable and Guangmu Immortal Venerable said nothing, just nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Taiyin Immortal Venerable didn’t say much more and took out a Jade Mirror from his sleeve. He tossed it into the air and silently exerted his Divine Skills. The three other Immortal Venerables, with experience, each cast a Mana without needing Taiyin Immortal Venerable to instruct, all working together to urge the Jade Mirror.
But even with the combined efforts of four Immortal Venerables, it was still insufficient.
"Together."
Taiyin Immortal Venerable instructed the ten Heavenly Venerates of the Four Immortal Courts, and they each made a move.
The combined Mana of the four Immortal Venerables and ten Heavenly Venerates was vast and limitless, and the Jade Mirror finally revealed an image. First, it was hazy with smoke and rain, then mountains rose and fell, and then a towering peak appeared. In a thatched house, a couple looked up through the Jade Mirror; as their gazes met with everyone’s, the mirror shattered.
But this moment was enough.
"Northwest!"
"Fierce Bird Mountain!"
Taiyin Immortal Venerable put away the Jade Mirror and looked to Yu Ming Immortal Venerable.
Yu Ming Immortal Venerable didn’t realize immediately, furrowing his brows, lost in thought. Beside him, Shanhua and Yu Cheng, the two Heavenly Venerates, also had changing expressions.
And even Wanying Venerable, under Golden Light Immortal Venerable, was surprised.
"Yu Ming, still not making a move?"
Golden Light Venerate anxiously shouted.
Yu Ming Immortal Venerable finally came to his senses, suppressing his thoughts, and with a wave of his hand, a black and white scroll unfurled.
"Everyone, please."
In a moment.
They all vanished from Great Mo Ridge.
...
Outside Fierce Bird Mountain.
Chihong Immortal was healing his wounds in seclusion in a mountain.
Over two hundred years.
He had charged Fierce Bird Mountain time and again, only to be thrown out each time, battered and bruised.
But he was not discouraged, never giving up.
Dark Star Immortal Monarch had already left, leaving him to persist alone, yet he still saw no hope.
That day, before his injuries from climbing the mountain healed, suddenly, the world shook, startling him.
"Hmm?"
"This seems to be—"
Chihong Immortal, his heart stirred, left his mountain abode and looked out.
Fierce Bird Mountain appeared, and in the world, a black and white scroll descended, carrying fourteen figures.
"Immortal Venerables?"
"And two Heavenly Venerates?"
Chihong Immortal first recognized Yu Ming Immortal Venerable of his Immortal Court and Shanhua, Yu Cheng, the two Heavenly Venerates. Then looking at the other eleven, though he hadn’t seen most, it wasn’t hard to deduce: "Another three Immortal Venerables? And eight Heavenly Venerates?"
Chihong Immortal was stunned.
He hesitated for a moment, realizing he couldn’t hide his presence from the four Immortal Venerables and numerous Heavenly Venerates. Gritting his teeth, he rushed over.
"Chihong greets the Immortal Venerable, and the two Heavenly Venerates."
Chihong Immortal first saluted his own people, then greeted Golden Light Immortal Venerable and others.
"So it’s Chihong Immortal."
Even in the Yu Ming Immortal Court, there are not many Upper Immortals at the Immortal Monarch level, only a little over twenty, and Yu Ming Immortal Venerable knew them all, immediately recognizing Chihong Immortal.
He already had doubts in his heart and didn’t rush to climb the mountain, but instead, asked Chihong Immortal, "What are you doing here, Immortal? Do you know of the couple in the mountain?"
"Hmm?"
"Are there people in the mountain?"
Chihong Immortal was taken aback, then suddenly realized and said hatefully, "So that’s the reason! Turns out there’s someone in the mountain causing trouble, no wonder I couldn’t enter the mountain!"
Chihong Immortal was infuriated.
He finally understood why he could infiltrate Fierce Bird Mountain a millennium ago but in these two hundred years, he couldn’t find a way in.
It turned out someone was hiding in the mountain.
Surely it was the ’couple’ the Immortal Venerable mentioned who were causing trouble, wasting his two hundred years.
Filled with both anger and hatred, he explained to Yu Ming Immortal Venerable, "I initially intended to use the Fire-element Origin in the mountain to cultivate, but was repeatedly blocked. It must be those two causing trouble, although I have never seen them and know nothing about their origins."
