Chapter 937 - 847: Wanshi Mountain
On the second day after he entered the city, he unexpectedly gathered some very important information."Turns out the experts of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect have all headed to the Wanshi Mountain!"
Duan Gujin once inquired about the origin of the Wanshi Mountain; it is a forbidden land in the Chaotic Ancient Continent, where at one point people discovered tens of thousands of corpses, all with cultivation at the Breakthrough realm.
It is known that in the Chaotic Ancient Continent, it is no easy feat for a martial artist to cultivate to the Breakthrough realm.
If a martial artist can break through to the Breakthrough realm in the Chaotic Ancient Continent, they can at least become an elder in the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect, or even serve as the sect leader in some small Immortal Sects.
Yet, martial artists here had actually found over ten thousand corpses in the Wanshi Mountain, all with prior cultivation of Breakthrough realm, leaving local martial artists astounded.
Many martial artists speculate that these corpses could very well belong to divines from the Divine World, however, no matter how local martial artists examined these bodies, they found no clues to prove their identities.
Thus, martial artists in the Chaotic Ancient Continent remain unaware of where these bodies came from, and they have designated the area where the bodies were found as a forbidden zone.
What's most bewildering is that a month later, all the bodies previously discovered within the forbidden zone had turned to ashes.
Although many sect disciples had stored these bodies in their storage rings, a month later, those stored bodies also turned to ash like those within the forbidden zone.
Learning the origin of the Wanshi Mountain, Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he thought of a possibility.
"Could it be that those Breakthrough warriors were poisoned?"
If not for witnessing the potency of some bizarre poisons in a previous life, Duan Gujin wouldn't believe such toxins could exist that could even poison immortals.
Therefore, he speculated that those over ten thousand bodies in the Wanshi Mountain were very likely poisoned.
The power of a toxin capable of poisoning tens of thousands of Breakthrough realm martial artists can be well imagined.
"I've heard that the Wanshi Mountain has been quite active recently, with continuous lightning and thunder there. Major sects speculate that forbidden powers may have appeared there, and now, the top echelons of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect have sent many disciples to investigate what's happening there."
"Yes, I heard that too. I heard that all the winners of the recent Dimension Advancement Competition are participating in this mission, and I saw Mo Yan from the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect!"
"Ah, he performed extraordinarily well in this battle!"
"Yes, he secured a position among the top hundred!"
Upon hearing Mo Yan's name, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he recalled an event from the past.
"I seem to have heard this name before!"
He racked his brains trying to recall, and suddenly remembered encountering a one-armed swordsman named Mo Yan in the Divine World in his previous life.
He recalled that the swordsman named Mo Yan had a cultivation only at the Breakthrough realm, whereas he himself was already a demigod at the time.
"Could the Mo Yan I met in my past life and the Mo Yan from the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect be the same person? Or is it simply a coincidence of names?"
Currently, the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect is in the spotlight; nearly every corner and alley of the Chaotic Ancient Continent is discussing it.
Thus, it was not difficult for Duan Gujin to gather information on Mo Yan.
Soon, the martial artists started talking about the recent earthquakes.
The Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect publicly announced that it was merely an earthquake, but many were gossiping that it was not an earthquake, but a breach of an ancient demon-sealing seal from the Ancient Times of the Chaotic Ancient Continent.
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered again as he immediately recalled his experience with Mo Yan.
Mo Yan wasn't a complete person; his right arm, which wielded the sword, had been severed before.
Although after entering the Divine World he used special spiritual medicine to regenerate his right arm, his swordsmanship became very poor from then on.
It's not due to lack of effort, but because his once-severed right arm could not be as flexible as before.
As a swordsman, losing one's treasure sword and the arm that swings it makes it nearly impossible to display swordsmanship to its fullest.
Thus, Mo Yan is considered a second-tier expert among Breakthrough realm warriors.
Duan Gujin could imagine that if Mo Yan's right arm had never been severed, he would definitely be a first-tier swordsman.
"I remember now, Mo Yan once mentioned coming from a place called the Chaotic Ancient Continent. This place was a chaotic region during Ancient Times, hence it got the name Chaotic Ancient Continent, and the strongest sect there is the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect! That's right!"
Duan Gujin thought for a while, finally recalling some details.
He couldn't blame himself for remembering only now; he had only met Mo Yan three times and heard some past stories from him.
He didn't have a deep impression of the Chaotic Ancient Continent, which is why he couldn't recall hearing that name before when he first heard it.
"Looks like I need to meet this Mo Yan and see if he's the same Mo Yan I knew in my past life."
Duan Gujin became interested immediately and began gathering information about the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.
Soon, he discovered that the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect was currently waiting for experts from other sects to arrive.
Once the experts from the other sects assembled, they would set off together toward the Wanshi Mountain.
Wanshi Mountain has only one exit, and the nearest large city is hundreds of miles away from that exit.
Duan Gujin initially planned to use the local city's Teleportation Array, but upon inquiry, he found he had no local currency.
He carefully examined the map of the Chaotic Ancient Continent and realized he was over ten thousand kilometers away from the Wanshi Mountain.
Having no choice, he decided to use the Sword Control Technique.
After a long journey, five days later, he finally arrived at a small city in front of the Wanshi Mountain.
Upon entering the city, he carefully inquired about the situation of the Wanshi Mountain.
Soon, he learned that there were indeed frequent occurrences of various eerie situations at the Wanshi Mountain recently, such as earthquakes and extremely terrifying sounds emanating from it occasionally.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and, after pondering for a moment, decided to venture inside the Wanshi Mountain.
"What on earth is odd about this Wanshi Mountain?"
What truly lies within the Wanshi Mountain cannot be discovered just by gathering information.
Duan Gujin decided to delve deeper to uncover the truth.
As soon as he stepped into the Wanshi Mountain, he could clearly sense that the temperature inside was over thirty degrees lower than outside.
"It's so cold here!"
He gasped, quickly channeling Primordial Power to adapt his body to the surrounding temperature changes.
