The giant tortoise split open, revealing rows and rows of bones, each one incredibly thick. The bone on its back was even more impressive, stretching for tens of meters, with a large section buried in the soil.
"This is..." Everyone was shocked. It turned out that this was not a stone tortoise statue, but a giant beast that had died and weathered into stone here.
The Demon Emperor glanced at it and said, "This is not a giant tortoise. If I'm not mistaken, it looks more like the remains of a giant whale from the sea tribe, although it seems to be somewhat different from the giant whale of the sea tribe."
As a demon emperor who has lived for so many years, his knowledge and experience are naturally extraordinary.
Wu Liang, who was standing nearby, flattered it profusely before saying, "The skeleton of this creature is so huge. It must have been a powerful being in life. I wonder why it is lying here."
The Demon Emperor's gaze fell upon the bones, and seeing the crystalline light on them, he was secretly alarmed. This thing seemed to be even stronger than the current chieftain of the giant whale clan of the sea tribe. It truly lived up to its reputation as a creature from the unknown land.
Thinking about this made him excited again, and he was full of anticipation for the trip.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the distant mountain. Some dark figures could be vaguely seen fluttering about. Because they were too far away, and there seemed to be some misty things blocking the view, it was difficult to see what those things were.
However, the sound was quite clear, and Yu Yanluo exclaimed in surprise, "Is that a bird's call?"
Zuan nodded: "That's true, but the voice is a bit strange, it sounds a little creepy."
At the same time, he wondered to himself, "It was quite quiet over there just now, but as soon as the Demon Emperor smashed the stone turtle, there was a commotion. Could there be some connection between the two?"
The Demon Emperor glanced in that direction and said, "Let's continue exploring."
Zaun shrugged and continued to be a pathfinder.
Yan Xuehen frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "With the Demon Emperor's strength, he can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant as long as his primordial spirit leaves his body. Why would he need to scout ahead?"
The Demon Emperor said calmly, "Why should others interfere with my actions?"
In fact, he had just tried it in this world and found that the speed and distance of his primordial spirit leaving his body were much lower than in the normal world. Moreover, he vaguely sensed a threat in several directions, so he dared not use his primordial spirit to explore the way. Of course, there was no need to tell them these reasons, lest they have any ulterior motives.
Yan Xuehen: "..."
Zuan stopped her from arguing further: "It's okay, I'm tough, I can handle any danger."
Yan Xuehen then gave up. Yun Jianyue, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to come to her side and quietly nudged her with her shoulder: "You're usually so cold, but I didn't expect you to care so much about his safety."
Yan Xuehen rolled her eyes at him indifferently: "At a time like this, you still have the mood to argue with me?"
After saying that, he quickened his pace, too lazy to stand with her.
Yun Jianyue didn't really doubt the relationship between the two of them; she was just feeling a bit restless and instinctively wanted to tease her a little.
Soon, the group arrived at a towering mountain peak. The mountain was covered with lush vegetation, but it was extremely steep, with many cliffs at ninety-degree angles. Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators of average cultivation levels would probably be unable to climb it. Fortunately, the group of people were all exceptionally skilled.
As Zu'an was walking forward, suddenly the Golden Crow Prince exclaimed in alarm, his voice filled with fear.
"What's wrong?" The Demon Emperor frowned at him. Even the sycophant Wu Liang secretly despised him. He used to think that this Golden Crow Prince was someone important, but now it seems that he is just a good-for-nothing.
Prince Jinwu pointed at the mountain in front of him with a look of fear on his face. Although he tried to suppress it, his voice still trembled slightly: "I don't know why, but I feel uneasy when I see this mountain. I feel a kind of... a sense of fear."
The others all had strange expressions. They were not unusual. The mountains here were just a bit steep and dangerous. Surely the dignified Crown Prince of the Golden Crow was not so useless?
Everyone else was gloating, waiting for the Demon Emperor to reprimand him, but to their surprise, the Demon Emperor did not speak this time, instead staring at the distant mountains in a daze.
He also felt a sense of unease as he approached the place, initially thinking it was due to the danger he had sensed when his spirit left his body. However, after hearing his son's words, he realized it was related to the mountain.
What exactly happened?
Since reaching the Earth Immortal realm, almost nothing in the world has been able to threaten him; this is the first time.
The key point is that he noticed the reactions of the other people, who clearly did not feel the same way.
Not wanting his unusual behavior to be noticed by others, he said calmly, "Keep moving forward."
His ability to cultivate to the level of an Earth Immortal is not only due to his special bloodline and excellent aptitude, but also inseparable from his resolute character.
He was never the type to be timid or hesitant. This strange feeling only drove him to investigate further. Over the years, the only person in the world he could rival was the Human Emperor Zhao Hao. He had already cultivated an invincible aura of dominance in his heart, so he naturally did not believe that anything here could really hurt him.
Just as the Golden Crow Prince was about to say something, he felt a warm current flow into his body. He immediately realized that his father was regulating his disordered internal energy, and he was deeply moved.
The group continued up the mountain and suddenly found another stone tablet in the weeds, with two characters written on it as well.
Even Wu Liang recognized it this time: "Yushan, this mountain is called Yushan."
"Yu Mountain?" The Demon Emperor frowned, searching his memory for any record of this mountain. The others were also bewildered. They had seen a few places called Yu Mountain before, but this one was clearly not the same as the one in front of them.
Only Zu'an had a sudden realization. He had always felt that Yu Yuan sounded familiar, and now that he saw Yu Shan, he finally remembered where he had heard of him before.
