Chapter 574: Chapter 574
"Not according to the order on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele, and there are many names I have not heard of."
Ji Jingqiu searched above, but found each name strikingly eye-catching and unheard of; he tried contacting Hel, but Lady La gave no response.
Ji Jingqiu sighed, clearly Wuwang Mountain was right before his eyes, yet this fellow caused some inexplicable fuss.
Leading a team is troublesome indeed.
Just as he was searching for the tabooed names on the Stele.
A path leading to an endlessly high place emerged beneath Ji Jingqiu’s feet.
It was the road to the Holy Land, the path to Wuwang Mountain, sought after by countless mighty beings for ages, yet never found.
Ji Jingqiu hesitated before setting foot on it.
Where was the will of the Ancient Road? At such a time, shouldn’t it come forth to express its shock at his ability to ascend to the first place?
A thunderous noise shattered the silence.
Ji Jingqiu quickly followed the sound, and a crack appeared in the sky. The fissure rapidly expanded, revealing the darkness behind it, as devoid as the return to nothingness.
A terrifying murderous aura zigzagged from the void, bursting forth with dazzling divine radiance; it was a large halberd!
The shining edge of the halberd seemed to reflect eternity, cutting across the Void; its true form, even broader than mountain ranges, refreshed Ji Jingqiu’s understanding of weapons.
It forcefully opened up a pathway, and then, an Ancient Mirror charged out first, reflecting the heavens, guiding powerful beings from all directions.
When the Ancient Mirror charged into this world, for some reason, it began to tremble violently, with sounds of water hitting the rocks faintly coming through.
Someone was forcibly breaking through the barriers of the world, at an indescribable cost, to forcefully enter this battlefield!
"Quickly capture this child, the Ancestor Mirror won’t hold much longer!" A shadow borrowed the cracks of the realm, propping up an eternal sun, and bellowed, "Don’t kill him, we might still need him to pave the way for us!"
Ji Jingqiu had already stepped onto the path, then did not move any further, only quietly turning his head back.
Just now, the belated message from the will of the Ancient Road came, not to congratulate, but to tell him not to worry.
This place still belonged to a battlefield, that battlefield which has existed throughout the ages, constantly washed by the Time River!
Moreover, the scene he was seeing now was not happening for the first time, it’s just that it was not a group of people before.
There will always be those who do not believe in curses.
Believing they can use the path to reach Wuwang.
Ji Jingqiu withdrew his gaze from that large halberd cutting through the dome of the sky, patted the hilt of Green Master, encouraging it to emulate the "predecessor," and then surpass it.
Inside the scabbard, Green Master trembled slightly.
Over this year on the Ancient Road, Ji Jingqiu was always accompanied by Green Master, never forgetting to "sharpen" it with Sword Nourishing Skills, making the inherent spirit and will within Green Master increasingly intense.
High above, a figure stood towering, with one hand grasping the halberd, cutting through the Void and Time River, and with a downward press of the other hand, it obscured the sky and grabbed toward Ji Jingqiu, cold and domineering!
In front of this giant hand, even the stars seemed tiny. Wherever it passed, not even a ripple was raised in the Void; it simply shattered, revealing the nothingness behind it.
Yet it was ultimately obstructed, stopping in front of Ji Jingqiu, and its Dharma Form dissipated, becoming as ordinary as any other man.
A muffled groan resounded through the Void.
The hand that was stopped in front of Ji Jingqiu, cracked and bled golden blood.
Whether it was the violent winds it summoned or the might that could crush Heaven and Earth, ultimately, they were all completely isolated a few inches above Ji Jingqiu’s head.
It was as if they were not in the same space-time at all.
This was the might of Wuwang Mountain.
Just as the Ancient Road’s will had said.
Even just stepping onto the path leading to Wuwang Mountain was enough to be immune to Ten Thousand Skills, not subject to any threat, let alone being taken hostage by someone to break through Wuwang Mountain.
Ji Jingqiu glanced at the hand so close at hand, his gaze suddenly sharpening.
The lines in the palm of just one hand seemed like the roots of mountains and the veins of water, evolving into Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, mountains and rivers like paintings, stirring his thoughts about the path ahead.
He couldn’t help but sigh, seeing one leaf is a sign of autumn; a physique forged to such a degree probably had an Inner Heaven and Earth that could rival a universe.
In this moment, Ji Jingqiu’s sharpness from ascending to the rank of Primordial First slightly receded, realizing he still had much to learn from these unparalleled mighty beings, not knowing how many years it would take to catch up, needing to maintain humility, never complacency.
Yet this hand did not stop there, still trying despite being bloodied.
Outside the path, Heaven and Earth blurred, the cosmos turned upside down, the Void spread out endless cracks, revealing the dark nothingness capable of Swallowing everything, permeated with Chaos Qi.
The one who took action was not alone, other powerful beings joined in, but they all stopped three feet away from Ji Jingqiu, not even the tiniest breeze from the aftershocks could approach him.
"As the predecessors said, it’s but an unattainable dream..."
A mighty being murmured low, eyes red with longing, having searched for countless years, yet not matching a junior, now so near yet unable to touch, only able to watch as a junior strolled through!
"After this is over, find a way to capture this young one, to understand what exactly is inside!" someone coldly stated.
Ji Jingqiu, who had begun to walk forward, suddenly paused, stopping.
If he remembered correctly, it was no easy task for the mighty ones of the Three Thousand You Sea Realms to enter the Great Universe.
So even if he had attracted enmity, it would be a matter for hundreds of years later?
Thinking of this, he turned around kindly and politely, advising,
"To the ancient relic over there, don’t reach out for what’s not yours, it will invoke divine retribution, and create karma."
