Mount Kunlun, also known as Kunlun Xu, the First Divine Mountain of China, and the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, is rich in mythology. The first book on the cultivation of breathing techniques was discovered in the ruins here.

Legend has it that deep within the Kunlun Mountains lived a deity named "Queen Mother of the West," with a human head and a leopard's body, served by two bluebirds. She was a principal deity in Taoism, and together with the King Father of the East, she was in charge of guiding men and women to immortality.

The mythological elements here are even stronger than those of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai. However, even mythology cannot withstand the test of modern weaponry and has long been exposed.

It wasn't until the discovery of Tianxing and the rise of martial arts that this ancestor of all mountains gradually quieted down. After so much repair, Kunlun Mountain has basically been restored to its original appearance.

Wang Hao chose to travel here because the scenery was beautiful and the air was fresh, making it a good place for Shi Mengqi to relax.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see if there were any hidden secrets here, after all, he was once an "immortal" with knowledge beyond his dimensional range.

If this place is truly as the legend says, then we should be able to find some clues. Moreover, after the assassination, the spiritual energy in the golden jade is decreasing.

It's no longer enough for him to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm; being able to step into the late stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm would already be considered a stroke of good fortune.

It was already late autumn, but Kunlun Mountain was like winter all year round. Although one of them was a mid-stage Spirit Awakening Realm cultivator and the other was a mid-stage Yellow Realm martial artist, they were still wearing thick cotton-padded coats.

"The air is so fresh, it feels so much better than in the city!" Shi Mengqi stood on the top of Kunlun Mountain, arms outstretched, and shouted loudly.

It seemed as if they wanted to shout out all the unhappiness in their hearts.

Fortunately, there are hardly any tourists visiting Kunlun Mountain now, otherwise people who don't know the situation might think Shi Mengqi has gone mad and is making a scene here.

Seeing her like this, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel happy. They didn't take the tourist route, but instead relied on their own strength to climb the mountain.

This place is at an altitude of about 3,200 meters. Further in, you will reach the legendary Valley of Death. Before coming here, Wang Hao had also read the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

So they longed to be here. The two seemed to be standing above the clouds, looking down at a white sea of ​​clouds, unable to see the foot of the mountain, giving them a feeling of being on the top of the mountain.

“You brought me here not just for relaxation, right?” Shi Mengqi was incredibly intelligent; seeing Wang Hao deep in thought, she immediately saw through his thoughts.

Wang Hao chuckled and said, "Relaxation is the most important thing, and secondly, I'm also somewhat interested in that so-called Valley of Death."

Shi Mengqi exhaled a breath of cold air, her smile widening considerably. She walked over naturally, took Wang Hao's arm, and said with a smile, "Then let's go take a look."

"However, the strange phenomena there have not been scientifically confirmed. It is because there is a mysterious magnetic field that causes thunderclouds to accumulate."

Wang Hao smiled and said, "You'll only know if you go and see for yourself. There are many things in this world that science can't explain. Aren't there many unsolved mysteries on the celestial bodies?"

The two chatted and laughed as they slowly disappeared into the snow.

The Kunlun Void is eight hundred li in circumference, with nine wells on its surface, each with a jade railing. Below it is the Weak Water Abyss, and beyond it is the Blazing Fire Mountain.

This is a passage recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which should describe the Kunlun Mountains during the mythological period. However, for some reason, this ancestor of all mountains has now fallen into silence.

Even after hollowing out the area, the legendary Jade Pool and Heavenly Gate were nowhere to be found.

The two ventured deeper into the area, and half an hour later, the wind and snow intensified, exceeding what ordinary people could endure. Even their spiritual energy and true energy were rapidly depleting.

However, when Wang Hao tried to return, he found that everything around him was covered in white snow, and even the footprints behind him would be buried by the snow within three seconds.

"What should we do? Are we going to be trapped here and die?" Shi Mengqi clung tightly to Wang Hao's arm, as if only in this way could she find some sense of security.

Wang Hao shook his head without speaking. A white light appeared in his eyes. He vaguely felt that there was something unusual about this heavy snow, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"No, the wind and snow are too strong. We must find a place to take shelter, otherwise we will definitely not survive an hour here after our spiritual energy is exhausted."

Knowing that time was of the essence, Wang Hao held onto Shi Mengqi tightly, randomly chose a direction, and headed deeper into the area.

A quarter of an hour later, they still hadn't found a suitable shelter. Shi Mengqi's internal energy was running low, so Wang Hao had to release his spiritual energy to create a protective barrier.

Within this protective barrier, the wind and snow were impervious, and it was incredibly warm. However, with his current strength, he could only maintain it for about ten minutes. After ten minutes, they would completely lose their ability to protect themselves.

Shi Mengqi didn't make a fuss. She quietly followed behind Wang Hao, watching him walk and stop, as if he was trying to figure out the direction or searching for something.

"It's better this way. No more worries, just walking to the end of life with Wang Hao," Shi Mengqi thought to herself, having given up all hope of living.

"Found it!" Wang Hao suddenly exclaimed, pulling Shi Mengqi back to reality. She quickly asked, "Found what? Is it the way out?"

Wang Hao first shook his head, then nodded.

This greatly worried Shi Mengqi. Who would rather die than live? She quickly said, "At a time like this, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"This is a large-scale formation. Although it is damaged, it is still terrifying. I have seen the introduction of this formation before," Wang Hao said excitedly.

The existence of an array indicates that spiritual energy still exists on Earth, because spiritual energy is indispensable for the operation of an array, and such an incomplete array requires an extremely large amount of spiritual energy.

"What... formation?" Shi Mengqi looked bewildered.

Wang Hao didn't have time to explain further, but solemnly said, "From now on, you must stick close to me. If you take one wrong step, you will be completely lost here."

Although Shi Mengqi didn't quite understand, she knew that this was a matter of life and death, and nodded solemnly.

"Stay close." Wang Hao reminded him again, then took a deep breath and took a step. The wind and snow intensified, and even the spiritual energy shield showed cracks.

But when he took another step, the wind and snow suddenly disappeared, replaced by an endless sea of ​​fire, as if he had returned to the mythical era, to the ancient Kunlun Mountains surrounded by heavenly fire.

Shi Mengqi looked around in shock at everything, which was beyond her comprehension and completely overturned her worldview.

"Don't get distracted. I'm going to take seven steps in a row without stopping, so stay close!" Wang Hao reminded her again, seeing that Shi Mengqi had come back to her senses.

Then he raised his right foot and slammed it down. Suddenly, the earth shook, and the surrounding flames began to surge, like ferocious fire dragons rushing towards them.

"Da da da".

Ignoring the fire dragons, Wang Hao took the remaining six steps. These six steps were very strange, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, and he even took a few meters back on the fifth step.
