Chapter 392: Mount Eternal

"The number two character of the Southern Sea has been eaten. This is… too crazy. Is Chu Feng's strength and boldness really going to pierce through the sky?!"

Some professionals stood out and identified Long Ze's identity. This caused huge waves throughout the country.

The world evolved rapidly after the previous icy era ended. That was also when the humans and marine races saw some results in their negotiation. They no longer confronted each other on a large scale.

Back then, the negotiators saw Long Ze's thousand-meter long flood serpent body rise up amidst the ocean and were quite badly shaken. He brought great waves and intimidated the experts of the land.

But now, he had actually died and become food on the dinner table.

Both humans and beasts on the land were shocked quite a bit.

No one could truly tell Long Ze's strength. He was the number two character in the Southern Sea Dragon Race and this identity alone was enough to shock people to death.

Meanwhile, in the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave at the north pole, some extraterrestrials were clearer than the other continental humans regarding how exceptionally strong those old dragons were.

Princess Lin was astonished and so was the group of descender scions. All of them were petrified by Chu Feng.

"Go and investigate the details. How exactly did Long Ze die?"

In Shuntian, the Hollow Jade Temple Master was in a bad mood recently. Lu Tong had actually quit his post and left the Hollow Jade Temple.

He was furious because he knew why Lu Tong had left. He really wanted to have people capture the old man back and make him understand that the Hollow Jade Temple wasn't so easy to leave.

But now, he was drenched in cold sweat and calmed down. He had to keep a clear head about this.

"It's this Chu Feng again!" he muttered. This name had recently become a demon to him. It appeared too often and made him extremely uneasy and apprehensive.

On Mount Lao which has mist-enshrouded thousand-year-old Taoist temples, encircling immortal cranes and hanging waterfalls.

Lin Naoi stood at the summit, her robe flapping in the wind. She had also seen Chu Feng's news on media platforms. At this time, she was facing the ocean and gazing deeply towards the Eastern Sea.

On Mount Kunlun, a group of great demons was leaving messages for Chu Feng.

"Brother, don't enjoy everything alone. Let's party together. Come back to Kunlun because we're all waiting to eat the Southern Sea Dragon meat that's first on the Gourmet Rankings!"

On Mount Putuo, Jiang Luoshen was mumbling, "He's really trying to make people's jaws fall off all the time. He's just finished killing some extraterrestrials and now he's gone off to slaughter sea dragons. This man is truly a… scourge!"

"Luoshen, we'll send you over if you want to see him." An old man smiling man suddenly appeared like a specter and shocked Jiang Luoshen.

"Old fellow, are you trying to frighten me to death? You don't even make a sound when you walk!"

At this time, the higher-ups of the corporations were all resigned. They were thoroughly afraid because they felt that this Chu Feng couldn't be provoked. This lord was a star of misfortune and death would follow him wherever he went. Any enemy stained by him would encounter great misfortune.

On a small island in the Eastern Sea, Chu Feng and the others were gorging themselves.

"Dragon meat is too delicious!" The problem-lady had eaten so much that her stomach was feeling uncomfortable. Her waist was now bulging and her eyes were drifting flirtatiously.

This was a deserted island close to the sea eye of the Eastern Sea. Even the Dragoness felt odd because she had never seen it before. They had discovered it accidentally after leaving the water just now.

There were no plants on the island, only stones. Each of them was hundreds of meters tall.

"It seems as if the island just popped out of the ocean. Look, there's seawater in some of the potholes." Yellow Ox pointed towards a region.

The group took a stroll around the island after eating dragon meat. They were astonished because the place was somewhat odd. There was ineffable white mist gushing out from the depths of the island.

Later on, they stumbled with astonished expressions because the island was shaking with great intensity. It was like an earthquake.

Boom!

Following which, a mountain rose from the center of this rocky island. At first, it was quite short, but it grew rapidly and with boundless majesty.

"Run!"

The Dragoness immediately drove the flying saucer and carried the group into the air. This place was too odd. A rocky island had appeared near the sea eye of the Eastern Sea and now a mountain had actually shot out from its center.

The group looked down at the mountain from above.

It was shrouded in mist. The island itself had changed dramatically with several vast mountains emerging in succession. Finally, they reached all the way up to the place where the flying saucer was hovering.

The island became still only after some time. It was covered in white mist with seven great mountains towering side by side at its center. They were completely black in color and thousands of kilometers tall.

"How odd. Could it be that our contact with the true dragon's lair had caused this island to emerge?"

They were very curious and wanted to get to the bottom of this. In the end, they drove the flying saucer towards the island and gradually landed.

"This…" They were astonished. Was this still the deserted island they had visited before?

The island was still deathly silent but many trees had appeared. However, there were neither leaves nor buds. All of them were withered and some were even rotten.

At the same time, the island had expanded many times over.

What had happened? The scene on the island was blurry and indistinct. The whole place was filled with stones and dead trees, enshrouded in eerie white mist.

Chu Feng and gang were capable and bold. As such, all of them landed on the island.

"This place is so eerie that it feels like a different place altogether. The mist is so thick that even the sun is invisible. Why do I feel a chill all over my body?" the old donkey mumbled. He was the most cowardly of the bunch.

"Handsome Big Brother Chu Feng, let me go with you!" The problem lady was somewhat uneasy.

"Is this our dragon race's land? It's quite close to the sea eye." The toad revealed a suspicious expression.

There were many trees on the island but all of them were rotten and leafless.

After traveling for quite a while, they finally reached the seven majestic mountains. They went around it and finally saw a limestone stairway leading into the mountains.

"This is a mountain gate domain!"

They suspected whether this was an ancient orthodoxy buried under the sea only to resurface just now.

Perhaps this island was hidden within a folded space and only just emerged.

As they walked into the mountains, the problem-lady let out a shrill cry and latched onto Chu Feng like a Koala. "Ghost!"

"How can a cultivator be afraid of ghosts!?" Chu Feng pulled her away and put her onto the ground.

But many people drew in a breath a cold air because there was a skeleton in the distance, wrapped in a layer of aged skin. It opened and closed its mouth as if it were speaking.

"This…" Even Chu Feng felt a wave of apprehension. What situation was this? Just how long had this skeleton been alive?

"Demons and monsters! You dare scare this grandpa?! I'll beat you to death!" The toad rushed up and immediately made his move because it sensed absolutely no energy on the skeleton.

"Oww…"

Then it jumped back in shock because a toad crawled out of the stone at the back. It was already devoid of flesh. The only thing left was a layer of skin wrapped around a skeleton.

"Damn! That scared me to death. How come there's such a big toad skeleton?!" It let out an odd cry.

Everyone felt something was wrong. They glanced towards the front and found many creatures in a similar state and all of them could still move.

"Are these things still alive?!"

The area blocked off divine instincts and reduced the sharpness of one's perception.

They proceeded cautiously and arrived at the mountain gate. They were terrified to find many different species at the base of the seven towering mountains. All of them seemed to be powerful beings of the past, but now, most of their flesh and blood had wasted away to reveal white bones.

But all of them were still alive and mobile.

"Goddammit, have we arrived on the road to the yellow springs?!" The black yak was no longer calm.

Yellow Ox's little face became tense as he focused intently on the scene, hoping to see through it.

"Look, there's a sign there!" There was a tablet within the mountain gate on which was carved dense ancient characters describing the past.

But Chu Feng, the Dragoness, and the others couldn't recognize them. They were simply too odd.

"Mount Eternal!" Yellow Ox spoke.

"What?! It's actually that place?!" the problem lady cried out in alarm.

Apparently, Yellow Ox and the problem lady were both shocked after recognizing the place.

"What's the matter?!" Chu Feng asked in astonishment.

Yellow Ox's eyes widened and seemed incomparably excited as he stared at the stone tablet and then at the seven vast mountains in front of him.

He calmed down only after a long while and said while looking at Chu Feng. "I might have to part ways with you now because I've found a great fortune that will allow me to become a sage ancestor."

"Eh?!" Chu Feng was astonished.

"This is one of the 72 holy lands of the demonic race, Mount Eternal!" Yellow Ox informed.

Revealing an expression of admiration and envy, the problem lady sighed. "This is one of the 72 most powerful holy lands of the demonic race in the cosmos!"

"Since that is so, everyone should stay!" the toad shouted. It was afraid Yellow Ox would swallow everything and not allow it to enter.

"It's only suitable for demons and not humans." Yellow Ox shook his head.

The problem lady sighed. "I really want to turn into an enchantress!"

"Aren't you already one!?" Chu Feng cut in.

He understood that this place was the territory of the demon race and could be considered a legendary place even among the whole cosmos. Countless greater demons had searched for it but never saw even a trace of it.

"Aren't there many such holy grounds in the star systems?" Chu Feng asked.

"Those aren't the same. The most powerful orthodoxies on those stars can declare themselves holy lands, but the significance is different," Yellow Ox told Chu Feng.

Since ancient times, there had been legends about the 72 most powerful holy lands circulating among those of the demonic race.

Mount Eternal was also one of them. It had been lost within the sea of stars for countless years, but unexpectedly, it was on earth this whole time.

This ancient holy land wasn't a major power but a land of inheritance and tempering.

"Failed candidates will turn into skeletons. They won't die and be trapped eternally within these mountains. If one rises to power after a successful tampering, he can leave with a foundation that would allow him to become a sage ancestor."

Yellow Ox told the black yak, the Manchurian Tiger, and the others. He wanted them to choose for themselves.

In any case, Yellow Ox was going in!

"Chu Feng, farewell. There's no telling how many years it'll be before we meet again," said Yellow Ox.

"Ah, how many years will it take?" This news came too suddenly.

"I'm also going!" The toad decided.

"Me too!" The black yak was decisive. He looked towards Chu Feng and said, "Brother, farewell. Take care!"

Afterwards, the Manchurian Tiger and the Golden Condor King expressed their desire to enter. Even the spineless donkey wasn't hesitant at this juncture and declared that he would risk his life here.

Within moments, Chu Feng 's group of good brothers had left. They said their farewells because there was no telling how long it would take for them to meet again or even if they would ever meet again.
