Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 797: Wangtian Peak, Xuanwu!
First, the offensive against Central State was temporarily halted. Regardless of whether Sima Yuande's words were true or false, it was highly likely that the Immortal Domain would descend when his troops were at the gates of the capital.
He had to make more preparations to have the confidence to resist the Immortal Domain.
It could be said that Chen Yuan's current strength was indeed somewhat lacking. Therefore, whether the decisive battle would be in the capital or not, he had to be fully prepared.
The primary condition was to reach the Sixth Realm in both body and spirit, becoming a Martial God.
Ordinary Human Immortals were indeed considered top-tier in the mortal realm, beings that almost everyone looked up to, but in the face of the Immortal Domain... they were still lacking.
Earth Immortals, at least, needed to possess the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm to be able to compete.
Therefore, Chen Yuan had destroyed the Seven Kill Hall and, after dealing with 'Zhou Zhong,' had proceeded to the north without any delay.
This time, Chen Yuan traveled alone.
It wasn't that Moro was useless, but the current situation was a bit off. The Immortal Domain could descend at any time, and the Buddhist sect was also likely to sort out everything in the Western Regions in a short period of time.
A powerful immortal had to be stationed in the central hub.
Moreover, Chen Yuan's current strength was no less than that of an ordinary immortal. Even without Moro protecting him, he still had the strength to protect himself. After all, he wasn't going to make a scene in the royal court, but rather sneak into the Ice Plains silently.
As long as he didn't alarm the Northern Barbarians, his safety would be largely guaranteed.
.......
Chen Yuan's route took him from Lanzhou, bypassing the border of Yangzhou, then entering Bingzhou from the border of Yangzhou, and finally arriving directly in Liangzhou.
Along the way, Chen Yuan spent most of his time rushing, crossing several large states and tens of thousands of miles of territory in just a few days. He also witnessed the true chaos of the Central Plains.
Compared to the states under his rule, such as Shu, Nan, Xue, and Qing, Bingzhou, Lanzhou, and Yangzhou were all in turmoil, with bones exposed in the wilderness and no crowing of chickens for miles.
Everywhere was filled with the smoke of war and the cries of women.
It truly exemplified what was meant by a chaotic world.
For people like Chen Yuan, who possessed powerful individual martial strength and influence, a chaotic world was a golden age, allowing them to greatly increase their power. But for ordinary people with no power to resist, it was a disaster that occurred once every few centuries.
The official government had long since collapsed, and sects and gangs controlled everything. Some people had once complained about the excessive oppression of the imperial court, but compared to the present, those were rare days of peace.
He also deeply understood what was meant by "Better to be a dog in a peaceful and prosperous age than a human in a chaotic and turbulent world."
Of course, as a beneficiary, Chen Yuan was not really qualified to judge those forces. After all, in reality, he had initiated this chaotic world.
However, he was only one of the promoters of this chaotic world, not the main cause. Even without him, there would be the Buddhist sect, the Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Domain, and they would also turn the mortal world into chaos.
He had only broken through the surface of the chaotic world in advance, and what he could do was to completely end this chaotic world in the shortest possible time.
This was not some saintly heart, but a sense of responsibility born from powerful strength. The power of the masses had helped him several times, so how could he not repay them?
Moreover, in the process of repayment, his power would also increase dramatically.
It could be said that Chen Yuan felt deeply moved along the way.
Because those chaotic scenes were not just passed down by word of mouth, but were vividly presented before him. "When poor, one should take care of oneself; when successful, one should benefit the world."
This old saying was not without reason.
The further north he went, the heavier the chaos became. Compared to the past, Liangzhou was now even more chaotic. Everywhere he went, there were countless white banners in every city.
The soldiers here did not die in the Central Plains civil war, but under the iron hooves of foreign tribes.
The borderlands suffered, and their hearts knew it best.
Chen Yuan did not go to see the Northern Liang King, Wei Jinfeng. The timing was not right. He did not want to reveal his whereabouts and intentions, and could only see him again upon his return.
If the other party was still the same as before and was willing to submit, Chen Yuan would not hesitate to reward him and was willing to let the Wei family forever guard Liangzhou, protecting the border for the Central Plains.
But if the other party was really blinded by power, then he could not blame him for being unfeeling. In the face of the great trend of the world, he would not allow anyone to obstruct the path to unification.
After a long time, Chen Yuan once again stepped into the territory of the northern grasslands. He still remembered that last time, Chen Yuan had made a big fuss at the royal court's sacrificial ceremony for the golden lotus that Moro needed.
He also took the opportunity to kill Xiang Lingtian, obtaining a guidance opportunity for himself.
Even now, it was still vivid in his mind.
It was a pity that the other party had long since vanished into smoke, while he had killed Xiang Qianqiu, the clan leader of the Xiang family whom he admired. The entire Xiang family now belonged to him.
It was a world of difference.
Chen Yuan's speed of travel was too slow to be described as traveling a thousand miles a day, and was more like traveling ten thousand miles a day. This was still without fully maximizing his speed.
Because he also needed to guard against threats from the grasslands.
When rushing, he mostly traveled by tearing through the void.
When he truly set foot in the depths of the grasslands, he realized the vastness of the grassland territory, which was no less than that of the Central Plains. Looking out, the green grass and blue sky were very soothing.
He liked it here very much and had to take it down in the future!
Long ago, Chen Yuan had learned about the three ancient clans from Wei Wuque, which were now the three royal courts of the grasslands. The Gujin Royal Court was closest to Liangzhou and had always been the bridgehead for grassland invasions.
In the rear of the Gujin Royal Court, there were actually two other terrifying grassland royal courts. This time, the Gujin Royal Court's large-scale invasion included the figures of the other two royal courts.
Chen Yuan's destination this time, Wangtian Peak in the extreme northern snowfields, was also somewhat related to one of the royal courts on the map.
This royal court was called the Gumu Royal Court, located in the northernmost part of the grasslands, very far from the Central Plains, as far as hundreds of thousands of miles, and ordinary people rarely heard of it.
But its location was near the Ice Plains.
This royal court was said to be the oldest one, and its strength was still unknown. It had always existed in legends, and even the former Northern Liang King's heir, Wei Wuque, was not very clear about it.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's trip this time could be described as groping in the dark.
However, for an existence like him, it was enough to search souls in an instant and learn detailed information about it from the tribes under the Gumu Royal Court.
The number of grassland herders and the population under the rule of the royal court were far less than those of the Gujin Royal Court, with only less than 300,000 soldiers. But its strength could not be underestimated. In terms of elites, the three royal courts could be called the first.
Three hundred thousand snowfield iron cavalry were enough to rival five hundred thousand Gujin Royal Court iron cavalry. Its powerful warriors were even known as snowfield warriors, who had been trained since childhood and possessed strength that ordinary warriors of the same realm could not match.
As for the matter of the Barbarian God at a higher level, it was not something that a small tribe could know, but it was enough to make Chen Yuan increase his vigilance.
If he could avoid meeting the Barbarian God of the Gumu Royal Court, that would naturally be the best.
But....
Sometimes, it was not something he could avoid if he wanted to.
Because Wangtian Peak in the snowfields, his destination, was the holy mountain of the Gumu Royal Court. Although it was unguarded, if the commotion was too great, it would inevitably be discovered.
When he learned of this news, Chen Yuan's heart suddenly sank.
......
The cold wind howled, piercingly cold.
The entire sky had been turned into a snowy white color, and goose feather snow was falling in the void. This was not just a coincidence, but the norm on the Ice Plains.
He had even learned from the mouth of a tribe that the Ice Plains had been getting colder and colder in recent years, gradually devouring the grasslands and turning them into Ice Plains.
And their origin was migrating all the way south....
The Barbarian God of the Gumu Royal Court was a big problem, but Chen Yuan could not stop moving forward because of the threat. He dared to take action under the eyes of the Buddha, and a royal court would naturally not be able to stop him.
Chen Yuan was still wearing a thin robe, as if he would be crushed by the heavy snow at any time, but if you looked closely, you would find that the cold wind and ice and snow were detouring around him.
Within a radius of ten feet, it seemed as if a shield was covering him, standing still.
"Huff..."
Chen Yuan's brow furrowed tightly. Even if he could find the approximate direction according to the celestial phenomena, it was not an easy task to find Wangtian Peak in a vast expanse of white snow.
Wangtian Peak was the holy land of the Gumu Royal Court. Ordinary tribes only knew of this place and the general direction, but did not know where the mountain was, and there was no map for him to refer to.
It was really difficult....
"I must find a direct descendant of the Gumu Royal Court!"
Soon, Chen Yuan quickly made a decision. Although it was a bit dangerous, it could be considered as having a definite goal, instead of running around blindly on the Ice Plains.
The extreme northern Ice Plains... in the mouths of the grassland tribes, it was like the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Border, without end.
What was said was done. Chen Yuan had always been so decisive in his actions, without any delay, quickly changed direction, and returned to the grasslands.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan hid his whereabouts and quietly ventured into the Gumu Royal Court's residence. Because the aura was hidden very well, Chen Yuan's trip was very smooth.
He easily found a royal court's Holy Son, without any nonsense, when he was terrified and wanted to shout loudly, Chen Yuan's divine sense penetrated into it.
In a short while, he obtained all the information he wanted to know.
Then, he skillfully turned him into powder, directly disappearing silently within the royal court.
He watched the royal court fall into chaos because of the death of the Holy Son, restraining a lot of their minds, and then he was relieved to continue towards the direction of the Ice Plains.
Without causal attacks, the Gumu Royal Court would not be able to find the truth unless they could rewind time.
From the memory of the Holy Son, Chen Yuan finally found what he wanted and understood the specific location of Wangtian Peak. In short, the Gumu Royal Court was very cunning.
The so-called Wangtian Peak was not the highest snow mountain in the snowfields. Even from the surface, there was nothing special about it. It was just an inconspicuous one among thousands of snow mountains.
If you didn't know in advance, it would be very difficult to find.
But if you knew its location, it would be very easy to find.
The specific purpose of this holy mountain, the Holy Son did not know. He only knew that every few years, the Khan of the royal court would lead some of the royal court's direct descendants to worship.
It seemed like it was the origin of something.
After about half a day, Chen Yuan arrived at Wangtian Peak.
Looking at this unremarkable snow mountain, Chen Yuan smiled. There was absolutely nothing special about it. If you really wanted to find something different, it would be that the snow here melted a little faster.
Besides that, there was nothing special.
The surrounding area was vast and white. Chen Yuan had searched all around for hundreds of miles and had not found any human traces. Even with the speed of a demi-immortal, this place was half a day away from the Gumu Royal Court.
Even if there was a big battle, the Barbarian God of the Gumu Royal Court would not be able to make it in time.
This was the only good news that Chen Yuan had learned.
The Emperor Slaughtering Saber slowly condensed in his hand. Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold, his physical qi and blood began to boil, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy within the snowfields quickly began to gather.
Even if it was slightly thin, it was still an extremely large amount.
With a slash of the saber, a terrifying saber light of hundreds of feet instantly erupted, cutting through the sky, and directly blasted onto Wangtian Peak.
The fastest and most effective way was to smash the mountain alive and then slowly find the whereabouts of the Arctic Black Tortoise Divine Beast, which was very easy for him.
The terrifying saber light slashed on the mountain peak, instantly causing a shocking tremor, and the entire earth was shaking, as if ten thousand horses were galloping.
Many of the surrounding snow mountains were collapsing, and the rumbling sound brought up thousands of feet of snow mist, and the sound seemed to echo, and the entire world had echoes.
Wangtian Peak, which took Chen Yuan's slash, was also cut off at the waist at this time, and countless gravel and snow were rolling down the mountain, as if it were the end of the world.
Chen Yuan's heart did not fluctuate at all. After one slash, the second saber light bloomed, and blasted again on Wangtian Peak, which was only half a body left.
This attack repeated the previous situation, only bringing more and more avalanches.
Even dozens of miles away, it was directly blasted open by the roar of this saber light. Looking from a distance, it only felt like half the sky was collapsing.
The rumbling vibration sound never stopped, lasting for dozens of breaths of time.
Just as Chen Yuan was about to continue the third slash, he suddenly stopped, and his face gradually began to turn serious, because the rumbling sound that had just stopped, sounded again.
This time it was not because of him, but seemed to come from the underground, and many mountains around were also trembling, and countless mountains collapsed.
The earth cracked, and countless vitality of heaven and earth were agitated at this time.
Underneath Wangtian Peak, a huge head suddenly protruded, roaring at Chen Yuan, and his ears were really a little buzzing, and the huge head was nearly a hundred feet in size.
The soaring momentum rose, and half of Wangtian Peak was directly lifted up. It turned out that the entire Wangtian Peak was on the back of the Xuanwu, and its huge body was far beyond a thousand feet.
"Roar!!!"
The Xuanwu seemed to be awakened, and opened its mouth to spit out a white beam of light.
