Chapter 720 - 519: Immortal Mountain Holy Land (Part 2)
Qin Ping’an, upon hearing the words, his eyes instantly shone with dazzling light, and the anticipation between his brows was hard to conceal.
For tens of thousands of years, he focused solely on Cultivation.
Now, knowing there was a celestial mountain inheritance to pursue, an opportunity to quickly enhance his Cultivation, close the gap with Qi Mang, and possibly step into a higher Realm.
The excitement and anticipation in his heart surged like a tidal wave.
Qin Ping’an gently nodded, his tone resolute and full of yearning:
"Good! Then I’ll trouble Dao Brother to lead the way!"
Seeing this, Qi Mang said no more, a flash of tribulation light around him transformed into a stream of gray-gold light, hovering in front of Qin Ping’an’s Creation Divine Ark, and said:
"Follow me."
Qin Ping’an nodded in response, slowly following Qi Mang’s figure, speeding towards the direction of the celestial mountain.
In the void, two streams of light, one after the other, shuttled through the gradually calming chaotic currents, slowly advancing.
Along the way, Qin Ping’an inquired about old companions’ news from the past, his tightened brows slightly relaxed.
Their Escape Light sped like meteors chasing the moon, piercing the deep sky, sweeping past billions of miles of mist and haze.
Soon, Qi Mang located a space-time coordinate using Great Magical Power, and the two entered it.
Seeing the distant expanse of the Mighty Power of Heaven and Earth, a vast and boundless sea of origin stretched across the sky, with shimmering waves, a faint Great Dao chant resonating.
Clouds overlapped, seemingly right before them, yet as if on the horizon.
"That is the Chaos Source Sea, the origin of the Grand Thousand Worlds, the Power of Origin itself forming a barrier, isolating inside and outside."
"Pass through the barrier, then reach the source sea outskirts."
With that, Qi Mang’s sleeve abruptly waved, a beam of green light shot swiftly from his sleeve, unfolded suddenly in the air, transforming into a cyan treasure flag about a square yard in size.
The flag surface was embroidered with intricate Runes, myriad Spirit Lights, thousands of auspicious auras, and faint dragon-phoenix phantom spirals, exuding an overwhelming aura suppressing heaven and earth.
"This is the Tianyuan Treasure Flag, able to protect us two as we pass through the origin barrier, shielding us from the Power of Origin erosion."
Qin Ping’an focused intently, feeling the Runes on the treasure flag were subtly connected with the aura within himself, quite mysterious.
With a wave of Qi Mang’s hand, the treasure flag slowly descended, enveloping the forms of the two within.
A gentle yet overwhelming Spirit Light wrapped around them, heading directly for the invisible and intangible origin membrane.
At the moment of passing through the barrier, Qin Ping’an felt a strange power sweeping across his body, as if traversing billions of miles of space-time.
The scene before his eyes abruptly twisted, and the chant at his ears dissipated accordingly.
Once his form stabilized, he glanced towards the source sea.
In the boundless environment, the void incessantly fluctuated, further manifesting nascent storms of Law phantoms.
If not for the treasure flag’s protection, there truly would be no sense of security.
Qi Mang’s voice resonated in his ear, sounding solemn:
"Ping’an, concentrate your mind and spirit, silently chant Tian Mang!"
"Mm!"
Qin Ping’an immediately cleared his Heart Spirit, dispelled all distracting thoughts, softly opened his lips, and silently chanted together with Qi Mang:
"Tian Mang——"
Before long, an indescribable mighty force suddenly descended from the void!
The power was too vast, too terrifying, as if the origins of myriad Daos, instantly enveloping the two within.
The Absorption force intensified, indiscriminately dragging the two, orbiting within limitless space-time.
Qi Mang was long accustomed to this, his expression calm.
Qin Ping’an, however, was experiencing such mighty power for the first time, his Heart Spirit tremendously shocked.
He only felt himself minuscule as dust, unable to generate even a shred of resistance against such Mighty Power of Heaven and Earth.
Uncertain how long passed, perhaps an instant, perhaps billions of years, that mighty power suddenly dissipated, and the dragging sensation faded accordingly.
Qin Ping’an abruptly raised his eyes, the scene before him suddenly clear.
A vast, more sacred aura, instantly surged, nearly submerging his Divine Soul.
Just ahead in the chaos, a sacred, mysterious, vast and boundless celestial mountain stood prominently in limitless space-time, majestic and towering.
Its vastness boundless, its height without end, hidden in the depths of chaos, surrounded by clouds and mist, a mini universe condensed into form, exuding an immense aura suppressing eternity.
The eighty-eight main peaks stood staggered, tiered and layered, increasingly majestic, increasingly sacred, enveloped in colorful glow, ethereal celestial music, seemingly containing endless Great Dao truths.
At the foot of the mountain.
Within the Cloud Sea, palatial buildings constructed along the mountain, arranged in neat rows, are all made of gem-like structures, intricately decorated.
Periodically, Cultivators’ figures shuttle back and forth, either walking upon clouds or flying via Artifacts, their aura overwhelming, resonating through the universe.
All filled with celestial grandeur, evidently are Great Powers of Void Refining Realm or Longevity Realm.
Qi Mang’s gaze swept across the grand scene of the celestial mountain, slowly speaking, with a tinge of distant reminiscence in his voice:
"Ping’an, take a look, this is the Tian Mang Celestial Mountain."
"When I first arrived here, the celestial mountain was far less lively than now, nor were there such gem-like structures."
"At that time, this area was merely a desolate chaotic arena, only the eighty-eight main peaks stood here, serving as trials for Cultivators to challenge the mountain, and nothing more."
Qin Ping’an focused on listening, his gaze tightly locked onto the grand scene of the celestial mountain before him.
Qi Mang continued:
"As time passed, Great Power Cultivators from two Grand Thousand Worlds gradually learned of the endless opportunities here, flocked here to challenge the mountain and seek breakthroughs in the Great Dao."
"With more Cultivators arriving, the spirit of the celestial mountain consequently perfected the order rules, adding an Establishment Order to the celestial mountain exchange list."
"Cultivators only need to spend enough Contribution Points to exchange for an Establishment Order, opening their own Cultivation cave within the celestial mountain."
