Niannian: "It's...it's right below Chongyang Mountain!"
Below Chongyang Mountain!
Meng Wanwan's pupils suddenly contracted. Wasn't that the Blazing Lake?!
It was clearly the spot Shangguan Liuyue had just pointed to.
"Father! Second Senior Brother!" she called out, then rushed towards Chongyang Mountain.
Meng Xiuyi was constantly worried about Chu You. Although she basically understood the two possible outcomes for Chu You, she still couldn't help but worry.
Upon hearing Meng Wanwan mention Chu You, she immediately ran out as well.
Shangguan Liuyue was even faster than Meng Wanwan.
The fact that Chu You is here indicates that he has become the key to the final seal.
Although the Blazing Lake is located below Chongyang Mountain, it is not easy to enter because of the seal on Chongyang Mountain.
not to mention……
As they approached the seal, a group of men in black suddenly appeared from the barrier and attacked without warning.
Helian Tengyun said, "This should be the person the Bai family patriarch was talking about, the one hidden inside the barrier."
Then he stopped wasting words and went straight to meet them.
Shangguan Liuyue waved her hand and sent everyone flying.
At the same time, the barrier hidden in the void began to manifest due to the fluctuations in spiritual energy.
Shangguan Liuyue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just an ordinary barrier. It seems that the sealing barrier of Chongyang Palace did not extend to the lower levels."
After saying that, he said to Meng Wanwan, "Your weapon is more than enough to deal with these people and break this barrier."
Meng Wanwan nodded.
"I see."
Meng Wanwan unleashed her weapon, the Seven-Colored Clouds Formation, which rose into the air and struck the barrier directly, causing it to emit a blinding light.
As the barrier shattered, a faint wave of heat swept over us.
"It's open!" Meng Wanwan shouted, and together with Helian Xiaoyunzhao and the others who had rushed over, they rushed in, and a dark entrance appeared before them.
Only then did they realize that Chongyang Mountain, though seemingly desolate, was actually... even more desolate.
The bottom of Chongyang Mountain was completely exposed, as dry as a desert, with yellow and red soil layers everywhere. Meng Wanwan blinked, almost thinking that she had gone to the Great Northwest of her previous life.
A dark, gaping entrance is embedded in this layer of soil, quite conspicuous.
Those faint waves of heat emanated from the cave entrance.
Helian Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "This little bit of heat shouldn't have made the whole region so desolate, right?"
Yun Zhao said, "Let's go in and take a look."
The group walked inside together, and Meng Wanwan asked Helian Xiao, "Doesn't your Helian family have any records of this place?"
Helian Xiao said, "There are indeed records about Chongyang Palace, but not about Blazing Lake. It's probably because Blazing Lake and Chongyang Palace are not necessarily related, since Blazing Lake doesn't have any special function."
Meng Wanwan also felt that this was very likely the reason.
Once inside the cave, I realized how eerie this place truly was.
The path inside the cave is like a blind path, only wide enough for one person to pass through. You don't have to bend over, but you're always afraid of bumping your head.
The path was pitch black; an ordinary person would have been completely blind. Fortunately, the group consisted of cultivators.
The path was very long. After walking for nearly an hour, they felt the air around them getting hotter and hotter, but they couldn't see the source of the heat or the Lake of Blazing Flames.
Footsteps sounded behind them, and the group stopped, adopting defensive postures. Then they heard Meng Xiuyi's voice.
"It's us."
The group finally felt relieved and continued walking after they reunited.
Shangguan Liuyue asked, "Do you know what this cylindrical shape formed in the center of the path we've been walking around like this is called?"
Everyone looked at him with curiosity.
Shangguan Liuyue smiled and said, "Tianzhu (Heavenly Pillar), Chongyang Mountain is the highest mountain in the Nine Realms Continent, so people believe that it is a place close to miracles and where divine pronouncements will come. And this thing that seems to support Chongyang Mountain and Chongyang Palace is called Tianzhu (Heavenly Pillar)."
