Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 352: Celestial Stele Mutation!
And Chen Yuan's name as 'God of Slaughter' gradually began to spread near Guangling Prefecture....
After bidding farewell to Shangguan Yu, Chen Yuan headed towards Mount Emei. He didn't have much time. He not only had to go to Mount Emei, but also planned to visit Hidden Weapon Valley.
Moreover, the Divine Weapon Gathering would only last for about half a month.
Chen Yuan didn't attach too much importance to that spiritual weapon-level saber, treating it with a normal attitude. What he was really looking forward to was whether he could meet his Child of Destiny at the Divine Weapon Gathering.
Because according to past experience, the Child of Destiny would actually meet him for various reasons. He felt that the hope this time should not be small.
Only a few months have passed since the start of the Ascension War, which can be said to be very urgent. He must raise his cultivation to the late stage of Tongxuan, or even the peak of Tongxuan, before the Ascension War.
He also needs to have a handy weapon in his hand, otherwise, how would he face the top ten on the Hidden Dragon List, as well as various reclusive geniuses?
Although he fought Bai Changqing to a draw, he was not arrogant at all. He always had a feeling that Bai Changqing probably had more tricks up his sleeve.
And this was only the sixth on the Hidden Dragon List!
How strong were the top five, or even the top three?
The first, Zuo Chengzong, the second, Xuan Ming, and the third, Wei Wuye, were all strong.
Originally, Chen Yuan thought that the top three on the Hidden Dragon List were very strong, but they could only resist Dan Realm grandmasters at most. However, he truly understood from Shangguan Yu's words that...
As early as two years ago, those few had already achieved this.
And in the past two years, they had hardly ever made a public move, as if they were preparing for the Ascension War. With their talents, how strong would they be after two years of dormancy?
Perhaps they could even defy and kill grandmasters.
Chen Yuan always speculated about others with the greatest expectations. For the Ascension Fruit, he had to work harder.
Other than success, there was no other choice!
Having experienced many things, he increasingly understood how great it was to have a force supporting him behind his back, which meant that he was not afraid of anyone's oppression. Therefore, regarding the Dao Divine Palace,
He was bound to join.
And he had to join with the Ascension Fruit.
Whether it was Su Ziyue or Jiang He, they had both shown that they valued the Ascension Fruit, proving that this thing was of great use to the Dao Divine Palace. If he couldn't get it,
Perhaps the other party's regard for him would be reduced a lot.
The state where Mount Emei was located was not close to Guangling Prefecture. Chen Yuan and his party took a full three days or so to reach their destination.
Along the way, he would often hear some martial artists discussing him.
But on the whole, it was not very good. The identity of a court official was inherently hostile to martial artists in the Jianghu. However, Chen Yuan didn't care.
In his eyes, a little reputation was nothing at all.
When his strength reached the heavens, who would dare to disrespect him?
Like those peerless powerhouses on the Supreme Ranking, many of them were demonic giants, but who dared to truly eliminate demons and defend the Dao?
The headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Palace was in the Demon Realm of Blood Prefecture, but the imperial court turned a blind eye, proving that when one's strength reached a certain level, even the imperial court had to treat it with caution.
Strength, still strength!
At the foot of Mount Emei, Chen Yuan and others looked at the mountains in front of them. They were not much different from the Tangshan Mountains he had seen before. They were indeed not earth-shattering high mountains.
However, it was also a continuous stretch, seemingly endless.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath. It was indeed as Shangguan Yu said, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was very thin, even thinner than when he was in Ping'an County.
It was as if something directly blocked or absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi near the Mount Emei range.
"You guys wait here for me to come down."
Chen Yuan glanced at Yue Shan and others and instructed.
Others couldn't discover the wonders of the Nameless Heavenly Stele, but Chen Yuan, who possessed the Destiny Altar, could. Therefore, he didn't want Yue Shan and others to notice that he was any different from others.
Even if they were his trusted subordinates.
"Yes, Your Subordinate Obeys!"
"Your Subordinate Obeys..."
Yue Shan, Mo Donghe, Yan Qing and others simultaneously cupped their fists.
"Mm..."
After responding lightly, Chen Yuan stepped into Mount Emei.
He didn't choose to fly, which would be too conspicuous. Moreover, although Mount Emei couldn't be said to be large, it was definitely not small, especially since the mountain range was very long and his Heavenly Eyes couldn't reach far enough.
Searching would not be easy. It would be easier to ask someone.
Perhaps because of the thin spiritual energy, Chen Yuan didn't find any spiritual medicines or herbs along the way, only some herbs that were not very old.
Also, Chen Yuan discovered a problem, that was, there didn't seem to be any traces of beasts on Mount Emei, which was a bit abnormal.
Logically speaking, even ordinary mountains should have beasts.
As far as the eye could see, there were only some scattered woodcutters, either carrying firewood or empty-handed...
Walking up to one person, Chen Yuan cupped his fists and said:
"This brother."
The man carrying firewood was a young man with dark skin, which showed that he was often exposed to the sun. He was a little uneasy when Chen Yuan stopped him,
Especially when he saw Chen Yuan's clothes, although not gorgeous, were extremely high-quality, he was even more uneasy. But he didn't dare to leave, put the wood on the ground, and bowed and said:
"What is it, young master?"
Chen Yuan smiled, took a piece of broken silver from his pocket and put it in the man's hand, and said softly:
"I wonder which peak on Mount Emei has that mysterious Nameless Stele?"
"Nameless Stele?" The man was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, knowing that this person was like those nobles he had met before, coming for the illusory immortal fate.
Then he put the silver into his pocket, pointing to a seemingly ordinary small mountain in the distance and said:
"Young master, the stone stele on the Mount Emei range is on that Heavenly Stele Peak."
Nodding, Chen Yuan understood that this Heavenly Stele Mountain should be the general term used by the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Following his gaze, Chen Yuan saw that ordinary small mountain.
It was indeed ordinary, not high or low. Placed among dozens or hundreds of peaks, it was indeed ordinary. If he were searching, he wouldn't directly focus his attention there.
But if you looked closely, that mountain was also somewhat different from the surrounding mountains. It was hard to say what the feeling was, but upon closer observation, it was indeed different.
"Thank you."
"Young master, are you also here for the immortal fate?" Perhaps because Chen Yuan's attitude was not arrogant, the simple man was less uneasy.
"Yes, I came because I heard about it. I heard that this stele is extraordinary, so I came to take a look."
"Then, young master, don't have too much hope. My ancestors have lived at the foot of this Mount Emei for hundreds of years. I don't know how many nobles have come here,
But they all returned empty-handed. Now, you don't see a few people a month." The man sighed.
"Why are there no beasts in the mountain?"
The man said: "There used to be. There were many monkeys on this Mount Emei hundreds of years ago. I don't know why, but I haven't seen one in recent years.
Some people say that there is an epidemic in the mountain and all the beasts are dead."
"Your ancestors lived here. Do you know the origin of the Heavenly Stele?" Chen Yuan asked casually.
He had heard many rumors and didn't mind hearing another one.
Speaking of this, the man became energetic and quickly said:
"This matter was passed down from my distant ancestors. At that time, he also lived at the foot of Mount Emei for many years. He personally saw the Heavenly Stele descend that year,
It really was an earth-shattering event..."
In the man's mouth, the origin of the Nameless Heavenly Stele had a new source. It fell from the sky and directly landed in the Mount Emei range, turning into a mountain peak.
That was the Heavenly Stele Peak.
According to what his distant ancestors passed down, the void changed color that day, turning into a tornado, the heavens and the earth were overturned, as if the sky had fallen.
"Okay, thank you." Chen Yuan nodded, then stopped talking.
The man swallowed and suddenly knelt on the ground:
"Young master, you are alone. I wonder if you lack a tea-serving attendant? I have a young son, only nine years old, who is smart and clever. The teacher at the private school said that he has extraordinary aptitude. Can you..."
The man had said these words to more than one person. Whenever he met some kind martial artists, he would kneel down and try to find a future for his son.
"I'm just an ordinary person. What use would he be?"
"This..."
"The Jianghu is too dangerous. Life and death are impermanent. If your young son is really smart and clever, it's better to study and find a future. There is no such thing as immortal fate in this world."
Chen Yuan waved his hand, and then, under the man's stunned expression, flew away...
......
......
Heavenly Stele Peak.
Although it would be a bit troublesome for Chen Yuan to find the Heavenly Stele in the mountain range without the man's guidance, he also gave the other party a reward. A piece of broken silver was enough for half a month's work.
As for taking his son as an attendant, forget it. He wasn't interested. Moreover, it was for the other party's good. An ordinary person without any cultivation would probably not live long by his side.
Slowly landing from the void, Chen Yuan opened his Heavenly Eyes and finally saw the long-lost cyan light below.
Heavenly Stele Peak was a neat open space, as if it had been specially leveled. And Chen Yuan's target, the Nameless Heavenly Stele, stood in the center of the flat ground.
Walking forward, Chen Yuan looked up and down. This stele was about ten feet high, more than three meters tall, a little more than half a head taller than him.
The stele was cyan overall, with some moss from wind and sun exposure. The surface was smooth and flat, indeed without a single word or even a scratch.
The stone stele was connected to the mountain peak below. He estimated that a lot of it was submerged underground.
As for connecting the earth veins, it remained to be verified. At least at first glance, he didn't find anything unusual. If it weren't for the flashing light of the Heavenly Eyes, this stone stele was indeed not much different from ordinary mountain stones.
Taking a long breath, Chen Yuan adjusted his aura to the highest level, suppressing the various excited emotions in his heart. Like the scene when he obtained the Tai Xuan Sutra before,
He slowly placed his right palm on the Nameless Stele.
Closing his eyes, Chen Yuan closely sensed the upcoming changes.
Deep in his mind, the Destiny Altar covered in blood-colored patterns seemed to sense something. The upper layer turned slightly, and a cyan Destiny, like a swimming dragon, entered the Nameless Stele from Chen Yuan's palm.
The wind was calm and the void was blue.
It seemed that nothing had changed, but then, about ten breaths after the Destiny entered the Nameless Heavenly Stele, the Nameless Stele that Chen Yuan's palm was touching finally moved.
The entire Heavenly Stele Peak began to vibrate slowly, and the moss covering the outer layer of the Nameless Stele quickly fell off, revealing its true appearance, as smooth as a mirror, even able to reflect Chen Yuan.
In an instant, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and a dazzling blood-colored light shot straight into the sky from the Nameless Heavenly Stele!
At the foot of Mount Emei, Yue Shan and the others were chatting idly, each making a few jokes. They were already old acquaintances, and they had experienced many dangers together after following Chen Yuan, so their friendship became even deeper.
Yan Qing stroked the newly grown stubble on his chin and said in a low voice:
"What do you think Lord Chen came to this Mount Emei for? It can't really be for the Nameless Heavenly Stele, right?"
His tone was a bit puzzled. They had heard a lot about the Nameless Stele from Chen Yuan, so they naturally knew that this was just a rumor and couldn't be taken seriously.
It did cause some waves in the Jianghu hundreds of years ago, but now there's no one who cares anymore.
"Don't speculate too much about Lord Chen's affairs. When have you ever seen Lord Chen have the leisure to play?" Mo Donghe said lightly.
Having followed Chen Yuan for so long, they all knew what kind of character their lord was. He was a very purposeful person. No matter what he did, as long as it was proactive,
There must be a goal.
Although he was very suspicious, he always felt that his lord seemed to know something about the Nameless Heavenly Stele, otherwise he would never bother to travel all the way to this place.
Yue Shan shook his head, took a breath, and smiled:
"What's the use of thinking so much, you..."
Yue Shan's words stopped abruptly, staring blankly into the distance, his eyes full of disbelief. Mo Donghe and Yan Qing next to him both noticed something was wrong and quickly asked him:
"What's wrong, Lao Yue?"
"Quick...look, look!"
Yue Shan pointed forward and said quickly.
Mo Donghe and Yan Qing looked at each other and turned around at the same time, looking in the direction Yue Shan was pointing. Then, they were all stunned in place. They saw a blood-colored light shooting into the sky from inside Mount Emei.
"This...could it be Lord Chen did it?" Yan Qing murmured.
"I feel like..."
"No, this must be related to Lord Chen!" Mo Donghe said in a deep voice.
With his intuition, he couldn't be wrong. Their lord had only been in there for a short time, and there was such a change. It was absolutely impossible to say that it had nothing to do with him.
"Lord Chen is truly...a divine person!"
This thought flashed through the minds of several people at the same time.
And at this moment, on the Heavenly Stele Peak, in front of the Nameless Stele, Chen Yuan's hand was still placed on the Nameless Stele. Just as he was about to take his hand back, preparing to take a closer look at what was going on,
Suddenly, the blood-colored light on the Nameless Stele directly enveloped him.
His mind flickered for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already entered a strange and mysterious space. In front of him, there was nothing but emptiness, like chaos.
Even he, who was calm in nature, couldn't help but frown slightly at this situation.
Unfortunately, there was no one around him, otherwise he would definitely retreat behind everyone...
