Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 1183 The Golden Mountain Ruins (2)

The profound practitioners returned to their senses and quickly looked toward the sky.

"It's Young Master Jian!" Many people in the crowd shouted loudly upon seeing the newcomer. That person was no other than the true successor of the Heavenly Sword Palace, Jian Feng.

Jian Feng stared at the group of profound beasts calmly while holding his sword. Behind him were five elders, and all of them were at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm.

Jian Feng turned to the elders and said calmly. "I'll have to trouble all of you, Elders."

One of the elders smiled and said. "It's our duty. No need to be polite, Young Master."

As he finished his sentence, the five quickly spread out and released their aura.

All the profound practitioners below quickly retreated into the barrier and watched the five elders slaughter all the profound beasts.

The battle lasted for a full two minutes, and the seemingly endless beasts earlier were almost wiped out, leaving a few lucky ones behind.

Seeing this scene, all the profound practitioners let out a loud cheer. Even though they were exhausted, they didn't hold back and continued to shout loudly.

The tension they faced was immediately gone. Although there would be a next round of beast tide, at least they finally had a chance to catch a breather.

Jian Feng scanned the battlefield briefly and saw that most of the major threats had been cleaned up. As for those small flies, he would leave them to the practitioners below.

Just as he was about to say something, a sound transmission suddenly entered his ears.

"Young Master, the secret formation is activated."

Jian Feng's expression changed slightly. The secret formation was naturally referred to as the grand teleporting formation that Yun Lintian set up.

He turned to the five elders and said. "Please take care of this place first. I have something to do."

"Do you want us to go with you, Young Master?" The elder asked.

Jian Feng shook his head. "No. It's Master's instruction."

Hearing the word "Master," the five elders didn't speak anymore.

When Jian Feng arrived at the place where the formation was located, he saw Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu walking out of the bright white light.

"Brother Yun." Jian Feng quickly greeted them.

"Brother Jian?" Yun Lintian was surprised to see Jian Feng here.

Under Qing Xiaoting's intensive training, Jian Feng's strength had already reached the third level of the Monarch Profound Realm, and his sword intent had become terrifying.

When Yun Lintian looked at Jian Feng, he felt as though he was looking at a sharp sword instead.

"Your strength has improved again?" Jian Feng said in shock, as he could feel a fatal threat from Yun Lintian.

It was only a month since the last time he saw Yun Lintian, yet his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. What kind of speed was this? Heaven-defying was probably the wrong word to describe it.

Yun Lintian smiled and changed the topic. "I can see a bloody aura from you. Did you just come back from the battlefield?"

Jian Feng recovered from the shock and nodded. "The number of beasts has been increasing daily. If we hadn't intervened, those coastal cities would have fallen by now. Master doesn't want to see such a scene."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly and asked. "Where's your master? I have something to talk to her about."

"Follow me." Jian Feng said something to the guards and brought Yun Lintian to the Heavenly Sword Peak, where Qing Xiaoting lived.

When they arrived, Qing Xiaoting seemed to know it beforehand as she had already brewed a pot of tea, waiting for them.

"Senior." Yun Lintian greeted her politely and sat down opposite her, followed by Nantian Fengyu.

"Are you here for the alliance?" Qing Xiaoting poured them cups of tea and asked.

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I won't go this time. Let them do whatever they want."

"I see." Qing Xiaoting didn't seem surprised by his answer, as she had the same idea as him. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

"I'm here for the Golden Mountain Ruins. I heard that Senior often went there in the past. Can you introduce it to me?" Yun Lintian went straight to the topic.

Qing Xiaoting frowned slightly. "Are you sure? That place is very dangerous."

Yun Lintian nodded. "I have to go."

Qing Xiaoting stared at Yun Lintian for a while and finally said. "Fine… What should I say? The place is indeed called a mountain, but in fact, it is a vast underground dungeon."

"Over there, you will encounter a lot of traps and restrictions. Each one of them is capable of killing any Divine Foundation Realm expert. I almost died many times back then."

"Those artifacts I found are mostly located in the outer area. And that is my limit. I cannot go deeper."

"Traps? Can you elaborate more? What kind of trap?" Yun Lintian asked.

"It's varied. Some of them are seals and formations. There's also something like a barrier, which is beyond my knowledge." Qing Xiaoting replied.

"Seals and formations?…." Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head.

He couldn't say he was one hundred confident in solving all of them, but his proficiency in this regard was very high. At least, it should be higher than anybody in this world. Hence, he wasn't afraid of the traps much.

"Moreover, the aura of that place is very strong… I don't know how to describe it. It's very ancient and filled with dread atmosphere, giving me a feeling that countless divine beings have been buried in that place." Qing Xiaoting said solemnly. A trace of fear could be seen in the depths of her eyes.

Yun Lintian didn't surprise much about this as he knew the Golden Mountain was the ancient battlefield. Who knows how many divine beings have lost their lives over there in the past? Ten thousand? Or perhaps a hundred thousand?

Yun Lintian asked. "How long did the Golden Mountain Ruins appear here?"

Qing Xiaoting shook her head. "No one knows. It has been existing before me and the rest of us."

Yun Lintian was surprised and asked in his mind. "Why did the Golden Mountain come to this world before the other relics?"

Hongyue's eyes flickered slightly as she answered. "No idea."

However, Yun Lintian could feel that she must hide something from him again… This made him think of the long-buried question again. What exactly happened to the Beyond Heaven King?
