Mount Azure Dragon. There were all sorts of magical peaks and valleys. There were thousand-year hundred-meter tall trees and natural caves and lakes. This place became the cultivation grounds for many extraordinary martial practitioners.
Yan Liqiang didn’t expect he would enter Mount Azure Dragon again this quickly.
Cui Lichen walked in front of Yan Liqiang. On this windy night, the two dashed through the valley like ghosts.
This was Yan Liqiang’s sixth day in White Stone Town!
After resting at home for five days, Cui Lichen took Yan Liqiang into the mountain. He said it was just a visit, but he was actually bringing Yan Liqiang to the Jade Luo Palace here. They entered the mountain during the day and Cui Lichen brought Yan Liqiang to the secret realm at night.
Yan Liqiang had already agreed to join Jade Luo Palace. This wasn’t an impulsive decision but a decision he made after he gained knowledge about Jade Luo Palace and careful contemplation.
Although Jade Luo Palace was considered one of the big four sects, it was actually different from the Soul Mountain Sect and the Divine Sword Sect. Jade Luo Palace wasn’t a sect that accentuated heritage but alliance instead: an alliance of super elite and powerful people. The creed of the association wasn’t to pursue mortal wealth and power, but to fight demons. In Jade Luo Palace’s words, annihilate demons and defend the Dao, protecting the human race.
The demons were hidden in the dark and so was Jade Luo Palace.
One didn’t need to do anything to join Jade Luo Palace. They only had to keep a secret and firmly stand on their side.
After joining Jade Luo Palace, he would be able to know more about the demons. This was the most important thing for Yan Liqiang. If he didn’t get this cleared up, it would be as unbearable as watching half a movie. So, he had to know where they came from and what they wanted to do, along with the Heavenly Tribulation that would happen a year later. Fu Guang said there was someone behind it and that fate was obscured but Lin Qingtian could know beforehand. Since Lin Qingtian was a demon, then was this Heavenly Tribulation related to demons?
“It’s right ahead. Follow me, careful…” Cui Lichen said. Then, a huge ravine appeared before the valley. A huge waterfall ran off the cliff on the side into the ravine, creating vapor that flew into the air and obscured the ravine. Cui Lichen jumped off like an eagle and flew into the ravine. Yan Liqiang jumped down too. This ravine was lethal to ordinary people. Even though the ground wasn’t flat, a master like Yan Liqiang could still go up and down as long as he could touch something.
He sped down rapidly, wind, and water vapor came at his face. Yan Liqiang opened his arms and stood on the shaky cliff and ran down.
After two to three hundred meters, Yan Liqiang saw Cui Lichen’s figure pass through the waterfall so he quickly followed too.
There was a natural cave behind the waterfall, sort of like the Water Curtain Cave in Journey to the West. The entrance was two meters behind the cave. The cave was twisted and went straight down. Everything was natural and the cave was pitch black without any light inside. There were all sorts of strange rocks. Yan Liqiang and Cui Lichen pretty much had night vision so they could walk freely in the caves. Ordinary people would need a fire torch to see.
No wonder no one knew where Jade Luo Palace was. It was hidden in such a place! Yan Liqiang kept thinking as he walked.
The cave led further down. The two had walked into the cave for a few thousand meters as though it were deep underground.
As they were walking, Yan Liqiang’s nose twitched and his face suddenly changed, “Careful, Senior…”
Suddenly, a huge python that had a body that was three humans thick and a head that was many times larger suddenly appeared in one of the caves. Yan Liqiang was frightened and just wanted to attack, but he felt his wrist tighten. Cui Lichen had grabbed him. Cui Lichen’s voice sounded by his ear, “Don’t worry, this is Little Red, the protector of Jade Luo Palace. Little Red is a thousand-year fire python. With him here, even if ordinary people came here, they would be scared off!”
That terrifying python didn’t attack the two, twenty meters of its body had dropped down but the rest was still at the top. The python reached its head out toward Cui Lichen and spat out a 1-meter-long tongue. Its red eyes had an eerie green color as though studying Cui Lichen and Yan Liqiang.
“This is Yan Liqiang, he will be a part of Jade Luo Palace. He can come and leave freely!” Cui Lichen felt the python’s head.
The python turned its head and studied Yan Liqiang before slowly nodding. Then, it retreated back into the cave above.
Cui Lichen led Yan Liqiang down and after walking another thousand meters, the space suddenly opened up. A lava river appeared like the blood vessel of the Earth and lit up the cave. There were no more roads here.
Just when Yan Liqiang was looking around, Cui Lichen came to a wall and pushed on a boulder. Another passage was revealed. Then he led Yan Liqiang in before closing the huge stone.
“Wow, there’s a cave inside a cave!” Yan Liqiang was shocked. In here, there were stairs and works of human excavation. The two sides of the passage had fist-sized luminous pearls.
“The battle with demons is the most dangerous thing in this world so the secret realm of Jade Luo Palace has to be built in an unimaginable place!” As they talked, they walked several more meters before arriving at a bronze door. There was a golden banner at the top with the golden words — The Secret Realm of Mount Azure Dragon’s Jade Luo Palace.
After pushing open the bronze door and going in, Yan Liqiang’s jaws dropped. It was a huge underground space, the size of many football fields. On the ground were pieces of highly pure crystals. Those crystals were already pure and so below the crystal was the flowing lava river and red light. The light shone through from below, illuminating and separating the space into light and darkness. It seemed very mysterious.
Holy sh*t!
This was the work of the gods! Yan Liqiang was dazzled!
In the middle of this huge space stood a ten-meter tall huge metal sculpture. Yan Liqiang had never seen such a sculpture. The carvings were very lively and had this strange power. It was a human and he seemed very young and handsome. The eyes were slightly looking down. One hand held a small tree with lush leaves and strange fruits while the other held a murderous spear. It stood barefoot in the burning inferno. Below its feet was a round door with golden light that was being opened. His crest had all sorts of stars and animals and insect images…
In the red lava light, the statue seemed to have this magical aura over it, making people feel they were cleansed and want to worship the statue.
Yan Liqiang gulped, “Senior, who… who is that statue?”
“That’s the statue of the Jade Luo Heavenly Emperor!” Cui Lichen looked up at the sculpture and had this extremely pious expression on his face. This voice eased up a lot too.
“Jade Luo Heavenly Emperor. Who is that?” Yan Liqiang thought through all the gods worshipped on this continent. There didn’t seem to be such a figure!
“The ancestor of Jade Luo Palace was cultivating in Jade Luo Mountain. After reaching deep meditation, he went into Qi deviation. Just when he was about to die, he felt this mysterious power come down from the void and enter the top of his head, saving him from such danger. Then in his meditation, he saw this deity’s figure. He was enlightened and taught by this deity and then created Jade Luo Palace. After that, the ancestor called the deity he saw as the Jade Luo Heavenly Emperor. To be specific, Jade Luo Palace was created by the Jade Luo Heavenly Emperor!”
“Huh…” Yan Liqiang was awestruck. This sort of story was what he made to fool others. He didn’t believe it at all, but here, Cui Lichen told him the same story he used to trick people. It was also related to some deity.
