Upon hearing the Demon Emperor's words, the three women beside him advised Zu An to be careful. After all, the Demon Emperor's senses were now much sharper than theirs. If he said there were mysterious creatures that needed to be watched out for, then there must be some, and they were certainly dangerous.

Zuan was pondering his answer. The Sun-Shooting Bow had always been in the hands of the Golden Crow clan, so it seemed it wasn't the Crimson Bow and Plain Arrow from the legend of Yi shooting down the sun. But who knows? After all, the Crimson Bow and Plain Arrow of the Great Yi were given by the Heavenly Emperor, who was also the father of the Golden Crow. From this perspective, it's not unreasonable for the Sun-Shooting Bow to have always belonged to the Golden Crow clan...

Countless speculations popped into his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. So he simply stopped speculating and decided to take it one step at a time.

A group of people walked along the mountain path, which was actually just a place where the vegetation was relatively sparse.

However, since the group was full of experts, clearing a path as they walked didn't take them too much effort.

They tried to fly, but found that they could only fly a little over ten feet high before they could not go any higher. According to the Demon Emperor, this was obviously due to the rules of this place or some kind of magical treasure that was suppressing them.

When the Demon Emperor spoke of the rare treasure, his eyes became even more intense.

Zuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and stared blankly at a mountain peak in the distance.

This mountain peak stands out from the surrounding peaks because it is barren and devoid of any vegetation; the entire mountain resembles a large rock standing there.

What's even more striking is that the mountain has three straight, narrow slits that extend from the summit to the bottom, as if dividing the entire mountain into four parts.

Even from a distance, one could feel a sharp, menacing aura and a strong killing intent.

"This was created by someone using sword energy." The experts present quickly reached a consensus.

Wu Liang clicked his tongue and said, "Judging from the situation around these broken sections, they were obviously formed at least tens of thousands of years ago. The sword intent and killing intent have been able to be maintained until now. The reason why this mountain is barren must be because it is affected by this killing intent."

He frequently went into tombs and was extremely adept at judging the age of things.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, "The weapon used by the opponent should be a divine artifact, and their cultivation level is no less than mine."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. His cultivation was no less than that of the Demon Emperor? What kind of being was he?

Zu An's heart stirred. In the legend he had seen in his previous life, Emperor Yao sent Zhu Rong to kill Gun. Zhu Rong rested at the foot of the mountain and tested his sword to prepare for what was to come. Could this mountain be the sword-testing stone where he tested his sword?

In the past, he would never have made such a connection, but after coming to this world, he discovered that many of the myths he once believed in had come to life in reality.

This world seems to have countless connections with Earth from its previous life.

At that moment, a question popped into his mind: "How can there be such a sharp sword intent?"

Zu'an was overjoyed: "Empress, you're awake?" For some reason, hearing the other's voice always gave him a special sense of peace.

Ah, no wonder so many people like to live off women; it does feel pretty good.

"You brat, call me Master! With all the commotion you've caused, how could you not wake up? I haven't had a single peaceful day since I started following you." Mi Li's voice was also somewhat resentful.

Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "From what you're saying, you woke up as soon as the Demon Emperor appeared?"

“Nonsense, with such a powerful sense of oppression, how could you not wake up?” Mi Li scoffed. “I originally wanted to warn you to take cover, but I didn’t expect that the ‘Book of Records’ would warn you first. The charlatan’s book that Lu Sheng found back then actually worked.”

"Then why didn't you talk to me just now?" Zu'an secretly glanced at the Demon Emperor, not daring to show the slightest joy.

"Why should I talk to you? You have three close female friends by your side to talk to, why should I interfere?" Mi Li said coldly.

Zuan felt strange; why did these words sound so resentful?

However, Mi Li quickly added, "And I was just studying the puppet curse on you."

Zuan was overjoyed: "Master still cares about me the most."

“Don’t be too happy yet,” Mi Li poured cold water on the situation, “I can’t break this puppet curse either.”

Zuan: "..."

“After all, it was personally placed by an Earth Immortal, and I really can’t undo it in my current state,” Mi Li changed the subject, “but with the help of this special world, we can temporarily block it out.”

"You should have said so earlier! You almost scared me to death." Zu An breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you so happy about? It's just that the rules of this world are a bit chaotic, which is why I was able to help you block it. Once we return to the normal world, I won't be able to block it anymore," Mi Li reminded her. "Moreover, once I block it, the Demon Emperor will definitely notice, so you'd better get out of his control first before I help you block it, otherwise it will be a waste of effort."

"That's enough." Zu An felt relieved. If he were outside, he really wouldn't have been confident of escaping from the Demon Emperor, but in this unknown land, there were infinite possibilities.

The legendary Sword Testing Stone blocked their way. The mountain was steep and difficult to traverse, but fortunately, the cracks in the middle looked very narrow from a distance, but were wide enough for several people to pass through up close.

However, the closer they got to the sword-testing stone, the more they felt a stinging sensation on their skin, as if sharp sword energy was aimed at them.

The Demon Emperor snorted and casually waved his hand, creating a golden light barrier that kept the sword energy out.

The pressure on everyone immediately eased, and even though they were enemies, they sincerely admired the Demon Emperor's cultivation.

After passing the Sword Testing Stone, everyone's expression changed. The road ahead was lush and verdant, with abundant flowers and plants, but everything before them seemed like a completely different world, desolate and filled with death, with wisps of black mist faintly drifting in the air.
