Ghost Sect Hall?”
Hearing the name of this power, Chu Feng’s heart stirred.
This place, Chu Feng had heard of it when he was in the Hundred Refinements Mortal Realm.
Chu Bonruo, himself, had said that it was within the Ghost Sect Hall that he had found that mysterious person.
It was from the hands of a mysterious person that he had bought that scroll that was capable of finding, the Evil Ginseng King.
Although, Chu Feng’s heart had already rippled within him, he did not show it, but instead, he asked in a very calm manner:
“Song Xi, these four forces you mentioned, what are their characteristics, and which one is stronger?”
“Of these four forces, the strongest is the Starfall Holy Land.”
“The Starfall Holy Land has a long history of inheritance, and it is rumoured that the Starfall Holy Land was created from a giant meteor that fell from the sky.”
“That giant meteor contains extraordinary power that is extremely helpful in martial arts cultivation, which creates the strength of the Starfall Holy Land.”
“Of course, as strong as the Starfall Holy Land is, there is no way to compare it to the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan.”
Song Xi purposely added, and it could be seen that he was quite in awe of the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan.
“As for the Dao Emperor Palace and the Extreme Bliss Valley, it’s unknown which is stronger or weaker, it should be like about the same, right?”
“And the words of the Ghost Sect Palace are rather secretive, only knowing that they are powerful and strong.”
“But as I see it, it might be slightly weaker than the words of the Dao Emperor Palace and the Extreme Bliss Valley, at least the Ghost Sect Palace doesn’t have as many members as the Dao Emperor Palace and the Extreme Bliss Valley.”Song Xi said.
“You said that the Ghost Sect Hall is rather secretive, is there a reason for that?”Chu Feng asked.
“The other few forces, every year, will widely accept disciples, although the requirements for accepting disciples are extremely strict, and those who are not exceptionally gifted are not allowed to enter.”
“But at the very least, those are all openly recruiting disciples.”
“But the Ghost Sect Palace, have never seen them recruiting disciples, they all select disciples on their own.”
“And under the Ghost Sect Hall, there aren’t any affiliated forces, but their financial power is extremely strong.”
“It’s even rumoured that the Ghost Sect Hall’s financial power is above the Extreme Bliss Valley and the Dao Emperor Palace, even though it’s below the Starfall Holy Land.”Song Xi said.
“Since there are no affiliated forces, and there are no forces that pay tribute to them, how could they have such strong financial power?”Chu Feng asked.
Generally speaking, under such powerful forces, there would be affiliated forces.
While the affiliated forces received their protection, they had to pay tribute to a large amount of treasures every year, which could be considered a transaction in disguise.
As for the Ghost Sect Hall, if there were no affiliated forces, it would be the same as less tribute, so the financial power should be relatively weak.
“The rumour is that they’re doing business, but exactly what kind of business, little people like us don’t know.”
“Those who are able to deal with the Ghost Sect Hall are all human beings.”
“That’s why the Ghost Sect Hall is relatively secretive compared to other forces.”Song Xi said.
“I see.”
Chu Feng probably knew about this Ghost Sect Hall, and the business they were doing must not be a legitimate business.
However, from the Ghost Sect Hall alone, being able to provide Chu Bonjourou, with that scroll that recorded the Evil Ginseng King.
Chu Feng knew that the strength of this Ghost Sect Hall must be extraordinary.
At the very least… the four forces that Song Xi had mentioned.
The one Chu Feng was currently most interested in was this Ghost Sect Hall.
…………
After that, Chu Feng arrived at the Heaven Ascending Staircase that linked to the Hundred Refinements Mortal Realm.
This Heaven Ascending Staircase was under the control of the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan, so Chu Feng had gone through a lot of trouble when he wanted to find out information.
However, finally, Chu Feng had spied out the news he wanted, but it was just that the result of this was not optimistic.
“How could that be, none of them arrived here via the Heaven-Demonstrating Stairs.”
“Even the Chu Heavenly Clan doesn’t know what happened?”
“This is definitely not simply a problem with the Heaven Ascending Stairs, it is more like it is man-made.”
At this moment, Chu Feng already knew that Wang Qiang and the others had not passed through that Heaven Ascending Staircase and arrived at the Great Thousand Upper Realms.
This caused Chu Feng to face squarely the situation that they had encountered earlier within the Heaven Ascending Staircase.
Because it was all too bizarre, Chu Feng had entered the Radiant Vortex, yet he had appeared on top of that mysterious wasteland.
It was as if, someone had deliberately led him there.
Unable to figure out why, Chu Feng once again found Song Xi.
“Song Xi, do you know what is the origin of that mountain when we met?”Chu Feng asked.
“You mean the Divine Mountain, the origin of the Divine Mountain is a great deal.”Song Xi said.
Hearing the words Divine Mountain and seeing Song Xi’s reaction, Chu Feng felt more and more that his guesses were all right, and that everything… was definitely not a coincidence.
“Can you tell me about the origins of that divine Mountain?”Chu Feng asked.
“Of course.”
Song Xi naturally would not hide anything from Chu Feng, and told Chu Feng everything he knew about the divine Mountain.
This divine Mountain, indeed, had a great origin and had appeared at a very early time.
The Chu Clan’s Celestial Race, which ruled the Great Thousand Upper Realms, had already been around for some years.
And as early as when the Chu Clan’s Celestial Race had not yet appeared in the Great Thousand Upper Realms, that divine mountain had appeared.
Before the divine mountain appeared, it was a vast ocean.
Suddenly, one day, a great wave rippled and pounded in all directions.
And that wave, not an ordinary wave, was able to open mountains and break rocks, blasting everything, with extremely strong destructive power.
Even martial arts cultivators could not stop it.
Wherever the land was washed by that huge wave, all of them suffered, and countless martial cultivators died tragically in that calamity.
That incident drew the attention of the Great Thousand Upper Realms at that time, experts from all sides.
The experts of the Great Thousand Upper Realms decided to join forces to stop the catastrophe.
However, the great waves rushed to the heavens, and the vastness was boundless, but there was not a single person, who was able to make the raging waves stop.
This made the people of the Great Thousand Upper Realms, for the first time, realise that the wave was unusual.
However, fortunately, that great wave did not keep spreading, and after spreading a certain range, it stopped moving forward.
After a full few months, the wave gradually subsided, but that subsiding wave did not return to the original ocean, but flowed to other places.
Because, where the original ocean was, a large mountain appeared.
This large mountain was so extensive that it almost covered the original ocean.
Moreover, this large mountain was shrouded in light, and that light was actually heaven and earth energy visible to the naked eye.
Within that large mountain, not only was the heaven and earth energy exceptionally dense, but cultivating in seclusion within it would make one’s mind agile, greatly increasing the chances of a breakthrough.
Such a miraculous heaven and earth energy immediately made this mysterious mountain that suddenly appeared, a sacred place for martial arts cultivation.
That was why that big mountain was known as the Divine Mountain.
It was just that the heaven and earth energy above that sacred mountain was not inexhaustible.
As more and more martial arts practitioners entered the sacred mountain to cultivate, the heaven and earth energy above the sacred mountain began to diminish, and was no longer as dense as it was at the beginning.
At that time, the many forces in the Great Thousand Upper Realms discovered this situation, and in order to be able to prolong the cultivation time of the Divine Mountain.
They began to drive the weak out of the Divine Mountain, dividing up the territory, and eventually the Divine Mountain was cut off by several powerful forces in the Great Thousand Upper Realms at that time.
Everyone else, all of them were driven out of that divine mountain.
However, as long as there were people cultivating, the Heaven and Earth energy above the Divine Mountain would still diminish.
Under the wash of the long years, the Heaven and Earth energy of the divine mountain was getting worse by the day.
Finally, the heaven and earth energy within the divine mountain became the same as the outside world, and the heaven and earth energy within the divine mountain was no longer as dense as it once was.
However, because the Divine Mountain had created countless strong people, even though the heaven and earth energy of the Divine Mountain was already the same as the rest of the Great Thousand Realms, people subconsciously still preferred the Divine Mountain.
But subconsciously, people still liked to cultivate in the Divine Mountain.
In the end, something strange happened, the Heaven and Earth energy of the Divine Mountain became weaker and weaker, and it was far inferior to other places in the Great Thousand Upper Realms.
In the end, the heaven and earth energy above the Divine Mountain was even inferior to that of the mortal world.
And the most bizarre thing happened.
Above the divine mountain, there was a layer of boundary power, which would not only limit one’s cultivation, but would also cause one to lose the power of the air.
In this situation, those forces that occupied the divine mountain also withdrew one after another.
The Divine Mountain was once again restored as a place where one could freely enter and exit.
Although the Divine Mountain was no longer as good as it was back then, and was even a bit unpleasant, it was still desirable.
Especially, when the divine mountain could be freely entered and exited, there were countless strong people who came here in admiration, and a large number of strong people poured into the divine mountain.
But right at this moment, something terrible happened, there were constantly cultivating martial artists dying within the Divine Mountain, and their deaths looked terrifying.
Those who died looked like they had been drained of their flesh and blood, without a single sign of life, even their origin had been drained.
At first, people thought that it was man-made, and were bent on catching the culprit.
But gradually found that it is not so.
Even some, cultivation is strong, Herculean powerhouse, is also met with misfortune.
In this situation, people were terrified, and all the martial arts practitioners withdrew from the Divine Mountain.
Afterwards, there are people who do not believe in evil, but also had stepped into the sacred mountain, although not into which must die, but there will always be people encountered untoward.
Plus, the mountain of God has long been different, in which cultivation, not only will not accelerate the speed of enlightenment breakthrough, but also greatly slow down the growth of cultivation.
Over time, the Divine Mountain has become a forbidden place, and fewer people are willing to step into it.
Time passed, and as things stood now, the former glory had long been forgotten, and the Divine Mountain… had long ceased to be valued.
“Song Xi, is what you said a legend, or is it true?”Chu Feng asked.
“Although the ages are very long ago, the matter regarding the Divine Mountain is not a legend, but something that really happened.”
“Lord Chu Feng, you must believe me in this matter.”
“Although I, Song Xi, have a weak cultivation level, I love this sort of thing, so I had been poking around, and there is absolutely no mistaking that what I say is definitely reliable.”Song Xi patted his chest and guaranteed. (
