Chapter 3924: Heavenly Secret City Revealed (None Today)

The White Horse Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of billions of miles. When viewed from high above, it strikingly resembles a white steed, hence its name.

Several tribes of Chaos Beasts reside in the White Horse Mountain Range, making it a place few cultivators dare to venture.

On the outskirts of the White Horse Mountain Range, there was a small valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides. No blade of grass grew within it, making it appear quite desolate.

In an underground cave, the stone walls glowed with a yellowish light. Wang Yidao sat cross-legged on the ground, enveloped in a dazzling golden light. His eyes were slightly closed, and his left arm was missing.

Several thin bloodstains streaked across his left cheek, making him appear particularly fierce.

After a while, Wang Yidao opened his eyes and let out a long breath. He took out a golden Immortal Transmission Mirror, cast a spell into it, and Wang Qingshan's face appeared on its surface.

"Yidao, we've reached the White Horse Mountain Range. Where are you?" Wang Qingshan asked.

"I'm in an underground cave in a small valley at the southwestern corner of the mountain range." Wang Yidao stated his location.

"Alright, we'll be right there." With that, the mirror's surface dimmed.

Wang Yidao performed a hand seal, and the stone wall lit up with a dazzling yellow light. Hundreds of yellow formation flags shot out from the wall, landing in his hand.

Not long after, a yellow pangolin emerged from the stone wall and landed on the ground.

A several-zhang-wide opening appeared on the pangolin's abdomen, and Wang Qingshan and three others stepped out.

"Are your injuries better?" Wang Qingshan asked with concern.

"It's nothing serious." Wang Yidao replied casually.

At that time, too many Chaos Beasts were attacking them, and someone had to stay behind to cover their retreat. Wang Yidao voluntarily stayed with Wang Mengbin, but as they fought, he got separated and was surrounded by Chaos Beasts. Had he not brought a set of Chaos Armor, he would have been dead.

The Chaos Armor was severely damaged and required repairs before it could be used again.

This was the closest Wang Yidao had come to death since he began cultivating; previously, he had always fought alongside his clansmen.

"It's good that you're alright," Wang Qingshan comforted. "After we return, we'll find a way to reattach your severed limb. We'll settle this score with the Meng family later."

"Let's go! We should head back now. Mengbin and the others must be getting anxious." Wang Qingling urged.

They entered the pangolin puppet beast, and the opening closed.

The pangolin burrowed into the stone wall and traveled swiftly underground.

Half an hour later, Wang Yingjie frowned, holding a Golden Jade Pearl in his hand.

"That's strange. Five cultivators are flying towards the White Horse Mountain Range. Are they seeking death?" Wang Yingjie said, puzzled.

"Never mind them," Wang Qingshan said dismissively. "Let's return to Haoyang City first. Perhaps they have a mission!"

Wang Yingjie nodded, and the pangolin puppet beast continued its journey.

An hour later, the pangolin puppet beast stopped.

"How strange," Wang Yingjie wondered aloud, having just detected another five cultivators heading towards the White Horse Mountain Range. "Could something good have appeared there?"

Even five True Immortal cultivators working together would find it difficult to slay a single Chaos Beast, and Immortals rarely ventured voluntarily into Chaos Beast habitats.

"Follow them and let's go take a look." Wang Qingshan thought for a moment before saying.

Wang Yingjie nodded, and with a hand seal, the pangolin puppet beast immediately changed direction, moving back along its path.

Two hours later, the pangolin puppet beast stopped again. "Heavenly Mystery City!" Wang Yingjie exclaimed excitedly. "Heavenly Mystery City has appeared in the sky above the White Horse Mountain Range!"

"Heavenly Mystery City!"

Wang Qingling was filled with both surprise and joy. Tens of thousands of years ago, she and Wang Changsheng had gone to the Scarlet Sun Sea Region to purchase cultivation resources, and the Carefree Demonic Monarch had seized an Enlightenment Pearl from the Pang family. It was rumored that this treasure originated from Heavenly Mystery City.

Fortuitous encounters were rare and hard to come by; since they had stumbled upon one, they naturally couldn't let it go.

"Let's go, let's enter Heavenly Mystery City and take a look," Wang Qingshan suggested. "There might be some good things inside. Let's change our appearances and clothes; we might encounter cultivators from the Nine Immortal Sect."

Above the ground, a massive city floated high in the sky. Above its city gate hung a golden plaque inscribed with three large silver characters: "Heavenly Mystery City," around which spiritual light shimmered.

As a "Land" City, Heavenly Mystery City's area was a thousand times that of Haoyang City. The east and south city walls had collapsed, but a thick golden light barrier enveloped the entire city.

The city gates were wide open, and cultivators were flying in from a distance, entering Heavenly Mystery City.

A mound of earth swelled on the ground, and four men and one woman emerged from underground. These were precisely Wang Qingshan and his four companions, whose appearances had been altered.

Concerned about encountering acquaintances, they had taken immortal pills to change their appearances and changed their clothes, ensuring ordinary True Immortal cultivators would not be able to discern their true identities.

"Let's go!"

Wang Qingshan and his four companions flew towards Heavenly Mystery City, passing easily through the city gates.

Upon entering Heavenly Mystery City, they saw many dilapidated buildings and some mountain peaks. Furthermore, their divine sense was greatly restricted, likely due to lingering restrictions.

They walked along the streets, their faces showing vigilance.

Numerous restrictions still remained in Heavenly Mystery City, and they dared not be careless.

As they walked along, they did not trigger any restrictions nor did they make any significant discoveries.

They found many shops, but there was nothing particularly valuable inside. They also found no artifacts left by ancient cultivators in the inns, presumably taken by previous explorers.

An hour later, they stood at the foot of a steep peak. Many buildings could be seen from halfway up the mountain to its summit, and a flight of blue stone steps stretched from the foot to the top.

Wang Qingshan extended his divine sense to its fullest. There was a powerful restriction on the mountain, preventing him from probing the situation at the summit.

A deafening roar echoed from the mountain peak, and a massive ball of crimson fire shot into the sky.

Wang Qingshan and his four companions were startled and looked towards the summit.

A short, stout old man in red robes flew up from the summit. Before he could fly far, a thick, long tail shot out, effortlessly piercing through his protective spiritual light and striking his body.

With a miserable shriek, the red-robed old man exploded into a cloud of blood mist. As soon as his Nascent Soul left his body, it was ensnared by a long, pink tongue and dragged back into a gaping, blood-red maw.

A five-colored Chaos Beast resembling a lizard climbed onto the eaves of a green pavilion. Judging by its aura, it possessed the cultivation of a late-stage True Immortal.

"Destroy it!" Wang Qingshan declared, and with a sword incantation, numerous green flying swords materialized in the air. These swords shimmered with spiritual light and emitted piercing sword cries, as if they were corporeal.

These flying swords collectively streaked towards the five-colored Chaos Beast. As they passed, they did not trigger any restrictions.

Wang Qingxiao directly transformed into a colossal white flood dragon, while Wang Qingling's body glowed brightly with spiritual light and merged into the white flood dragon.

A sky-shattering dragon roar erupted, and the white flood dragon charged directly towards the five-colored Chaos Beast.

Wang Yingjie and Wang Yidao also launched attacks at the five-colored Chaos Beast, intending to finish the battle quickly and eliminate it. Golden flying swords, five-colored giant fists, and golden saber glints successively struck the five-colored Chaos Beast, yet they seemed to merely tickle it.
