Chapter 1686 Wood God Jumang
Kunlun Mountain.
Between the vast white snow, two frost-white carriages descended rapidly from above the clouds, finally coming to a gentle stop somewhere on the snowy ground.
“This is it.” Lin Qiye stepped down from the carriage, finding the entrance to Kunlun Void based on his memory, and nodded slightly.
He was about to turn around and say something when he saw faces, pale as iron, rushing out of the carriages, dispersing in various directions and violently retching, with no one paying attention to Lin Qiye’s actions.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye sighed helplessly, and personally cleared away the snow below, revealing an ancient and mysterious bronze pattern emerging through the wind and snow.
“You’ve been to Yaochi before?”
Jialan, with a deathly pale face, walked to his side and asked.
This entrance to Yaochi was known only to very few people, and humans should never have set foot here, yet Lin Qiye found it immediately, which made her somewhat confused.
“I haven’t been here before, but I will be in the future.” Lin Qiye shrugged, “If I were to open it, I could only use brute force to break it… would you like to try?”
Jialan nodded, placing her palm on the pattern. A faint light emanated from her eyes, and then the entire pattern began to shine brilliantly!
The power of teleportation rippled from the pattern, instantly engulfing everyone. Before they could finish vomiting, their vision blurred, and another wave of dizziness surged through them!
“Urgh—!!!”
Zhan Yuwu was halfway through vomiting when the scene before him suddenly became clear.
He saw beneath him, in the ruins, a corpse wearing armor lying in a pool of blood, staring straight at him. A strong aura of ferocity entered Zhan Yuwu’s nostrils. His pupils suddenly contracted, and unable to resist the dizziness, he stumbled back several steps.
A severed leg tripped his heel, and he staggered, quickly falling backward.
At that moment, a hand steadied his shoulder.
Zhan Yuwu’s face was deathly pale. He looked back to see Lin Qiye surveying the surroundings with a solemn expression, lost in thought.
“Thanks…”
Zhan Yuwu sighed in relief. When he calmed down and looked again at the pool of blood, he saw dozens of corpses lying in disarray on the ground, having been dead for an unknown time. The one who had been “gazing” at him earlier appeared to be one of the commanders.
Among the corpses were numerous willow branches, similar to those Lin Qiye and the others had encountered in Chang’an. From the intertwined arrangement of corpses and willow branches, it seemed they had been fighting each other.
The strong smell of blood instantly dispelled everyone’s motion sickness. They looked around vigilantly, seeing only broken and collapsed palaces and dense corpses… there was no sign of life anywhere in sight.
“Is this really where immortals live?” Hu Jia couldn’t help but ask.
“It must have become completely chaotic after Kusuen’s invasion. It wasn’t like this before.” Lin Qiye crouched down in front of one of the corpses and examined it carefully. “Killed with a single strike… all of them were killed with a single strike. The one who killed them must have been a deity, though whether a true god or a counterfeit is unknown.”
Seeing this scene, Jialan couldn’t help covering her mouth… many of the dead were familiar faces to her.
“By the way, it seems there’s no more of that colorful smoke here… could it be that the monster’s true form is already dead?” Chloe asked puzzlingly.
“Hard to say. When Chang’an was in peril, that smoke was still miles away. After completing the replication, Kusuen’s true form can move freely.”
Lin Qiye stood up, fixed his gaze in the direction of Yaochi from his memory, and walked straight toward it.
“In any case, we can’t let our guard down. Let’s see if there are any other survivors.”
Everyone followed behind Lin Qiye, moving gradually toward Yaochi, but all they could see were corpses and willow branches, and even some fragments of magical treasures that had been damaged beyond recognition.
The current Kunlun Void had completely turned into ruins, with no trace of the ethereal immortal atmosphere Lin Qiye had seen before.
“So this is the truth of the bloodbath at Yaochi that Yang Jian spoke of…” Lin Qiye murmured, recalling what Yang Jian’s remnant had told him about Yaochi’s past.
“What’s that place over there?” Yan Zhong pointed to a cluster of palaces in the distance. “Why is it still so intact when everywhere else is mostly destroyed?”
“That’s the Great Three Halls, the most important place in Yaochi besides the Peach Garden… the Elixir Hall stores Yaochi’s spiritual pills, the Law Hall records the thousand laws of Heaven, and the Weapon Hall houses divine weapons forged by the Queen herself,” Jialan looked over and replied.
“Before the Queen sent me away, she placed a barrier around the Great Three Halls. Unless a Major God intervenes, others would find it difficult to enter.”
“Elixir Hall…”
In Lin Qiye’s mind, he visualized the thousands of elixir vessels in the floating palace, and remembered that the Immortality Elixir and Immortal Elixir were originally in this Elixir Hall.
He stared at the three palaces, took a gentle sniff as if sensing something, and slightly furrowed his brow.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Lin Qiye walked to the Great Three Halls and was about to step in when an invisible ripple spread from before him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly withdrew his foot.
“Didn’t you say there was a barrier here? Can we enter?” Chloe asked.
“Yes.”
Lin Qiye flipped his palm, and a thread of cause and effect floated from his palm, intertwining with the barrier before him.
Under the power of [Causeless Cause], a new line of causality was born between the barrier and Lin Qiye. Just like when he controlled the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, in this instant, he gained partial control over the barrier.
With a wave of Lin Qiye’s hand, a gateway in the barrier opened before everyone. Astonishment appeared in Jialan’s eyes.
“Not brute force destruction… how did you do that?”
Lin Qiye didn’t answer. He frowned slightly, held back the others with one hand, and slowly stepped into the barrier himself.
The next moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split open, and a massive wooden dragon roared as it burst from the soil, instantly swallowing his form and soaring rapidly toward the sky!
This sudden change startled everyone behind him.
Huo Qubing’s eyes narrowed, and a surging bolt of lightning struck from the sky, locking onto the tip of his spear. As the power of domination enveloped the lightning spear, it immediately transformed into a roaring lightning dragon, lunging toward the wooden dragon!
The two dragons rushed into the clouds, but before they could fight, the wooden dragon’s head exploded. A green figure wielding a broken sword directly split the wooden dragon from within, piercing through heaven and earth like lightning, and falling at the center of the Great Three Halls’ barrier!
Swirling dust enveloped Lin Qiye’s form as his gaze locked onto the front of the Elixir Hall.
There, on the stone steps, a shepherd boy with double hairpins was riding a green ox, coldly looking at Lin Qiye, emanating the aura of a Major God.
“This god guards here by the command of the Queen Mother of the West… who dares to trespass into Yaochi’s forbidden grounds?”
