"Black Demon Mountain?"
Li Ming was somewhat puzzled, as he had never heard of this name before.
He now holds a high position, and with the help of the imperial court and the Guan family, he has learned a lot of information that he couldn't access before, and he also roughly knows what kind of status Da Xuan has in the desolate continent.
Li Ming wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly for Jiang Chen's explanation.
Seeing that Li Ming seemed unfamiliar with the term, Jiang Chen explained:
"Brother Li, the main thing for martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm is to perfect their own Dharma Aspect, but it is not easy to rely solely on the pure Yuan Qi in the Yuan Crystal."
Black Demon Mountain possesses a rare and precious material called 'Earth Essence Liquid'.
It not only allows martial artists to rapidly perfect their Dharma forms, but also greatly assists in achieving unity of Dharma forms and breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm.
The so-called unity of Dharma and form is the most crucial step in entering the realm of enlightenment.
The true path to martial arts mastery lies in elevating the physical body to a state of perfect harmony with the Dharma, merging the two into one, and harnessing immense power within oneself, so that every movement carries divine power.
This is what martial artists have always pursued, since the physical body is the foundation of a martial artist.
The strength of a Dharma form, in a sense, is also the strength of its foundation. If Li Ming advances to the Enlightenment Realm, he can become a top-level Martial Saint of the same realm simply by relying on his physical body.
However, the stronger the Dharma Form, the greater the difficulty. If one fails to break through, both the Dharma Form and the physical body will be severely damaged. Without the intervention of a powerful being, it is not surprising that such injuries would take decades to heal.
Many martial saints who have cultivated for hundreds of years have fallen at this hurdle.
Martial artists all have some hidden injuries, and even martial saints rarely reach the theoretical lifespan limit. A normal martial saint can only live for 300-400 years.
There is a saying that if a Dharma Aspect Martial Saint reaches the age of two hundred, there is no hope of breaking through to the next level.
It is easy to imagine how precious the Earthly Essence Liquid is.
It can save a martial saint decades or even centuries of cultivation, and its value is self-evident.
Jiang paused for a moment, then continued:
"However, with such a treasure, it is impossible for it to be controlled by one power. Therefore, the major powers have linked up to block information about this place and open it once every twenty years."
When it opens, only martial artists below the Enlightenment Realm from each faction are allowed to enter, for a period of fifteen days.
How much Earthly Essence one can obtain depends on one's own fortune.
The more powerful a Dharma Aspect Martial Saint is, the more Earthly Essence Liquid they can obtain.
Li Ming's eyes lit up; he finally understood.
Jiang Chen has a spot, and he has the fighting power. Wouldn't it be wonderful for the two to cooperate?
Such top-tier Martial Saint resources are probably only accessible to a very few forces throughout the entire Great Xuan Dynasty.
There's probably really nothing that the Six Doors, a force affiliated with the imperial court, can do.
"Moreover, there is less than a month until the next opening of Black Demon Mountain."
Jiang Chen's words immediately moved Li Ming.
A golden opportunity.
I was just feeling that my cultivation was a bit slow, and I was even thinking about whether I should go to the East Sea to hunt sea beasts, earn life energy, and then spend a lot of life energy to break through.
This path sounds simple, but it is actually much more dangerous.
The East Sea is not like the Great Xuan Realm, which is the territory of the human race. The water is too deep, and you won't encounter powerful sea beasts near the land. But if you go deep into the East Sea, you might encounter sea beasts that are comparable to celestial beings or even martial gods.
It seems somewhat inappropriate for him right now.
"Black Demon Mountain, judging from the name, it doesn't seem like a simple place?"
Li Ming asked again.
"Of course there is danger, otherwise the Martial Saint wouldn't have been sent there in person."
In Black Demon Mountain, there is a special kind of demon, the Black Demon... Its form resembles a human shadow, and ordinary people cannot observe its form. It is skilled at using primordial spirit attacks. If a martial artist below the level of Martial Saint goes there...
It's estimated that he didn't find the Earthly Elixir, and his own mental state was damaged, causing him to collapse first.
"But a Martial Saint has at least cultivated a primordial spirit; if they prepare treasures to defend against attacks from that spirit, they're not in too much trouble."
Jiang Chen explained in detail.
He then explained why he didn't completely eliminate the demon.
"According to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, it was Black Demon Mountain that nurtured the Earthly Essence Liquid, and at the same time, it also nurtured this demon. Therefore, we only enter it once every twenty years."
However, it is worth noting that there are also many exceptionally powerful dark demons among them, which have not been eliminated in previous years. If you encounter them, you should evacuate as soon as possible.
However, in places with many dark demons, there is usually earth elemental liquid nearby.
After considering it for a moment, Li Ming quickly discovered the difficulty:
"So, going to Black Demon Mountain means we not only have to be careful of the Black Demons, but also of warriors from other factions?"
Jiang Chen nodded and said in a deep voice:
“That’s right… It’s not just the forces of Da Xuan, but also warriors from Da Yan and even other countries and holy lands have come.”
"However, Brother Li, you need to be careful... I've heard that the Great Yan might be planning something against you."
Jiang Chen couldn't possibly be lying to him, and Li Ming nodded to indicate that he understood.
He wasn't surprised that the Great Yan Dynasty was against him.
The two countries have a long-standing feud.
Territorial disputes have been ongoing throughout history, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
How could a mere alliance agreement be useful, even though there are merchants and envoys traveling between the two countries now?
But he wouldn't be surprised if war suddenly broke out one day.
His information must have been deliberately collected by someone in the Great Yan Dynasty. This time, when he goes to Black Demon Mountain, he will probably not only have to face the demons and mountains within the mountain, but also have to be careful outside.
Thinking of this, Li Ming finally made up his mind and replied:
"I will be careful, and I am willing to go to Black Demon Mountain this time."
Hearing that Li Ming agreed to help, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. With such a powerful expert who could reverse the Dao Enlightenment Realm attacking him, the amount of Earthly Essence Liquid he could obtain must be considerable.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Li... Just give me a few drops of the profits when the time comes."
Jiang Chen cupped his hands in greeting.
In the past, some people have returned empty-handed after entering Black Demon Mountain.
Getting ten drops would be excellent.
He wasn't greedy; he was content with Li Ming sharing only a small portion of his wealth.
"Black Demon Mountain is located at the border of the Great Xuan and Great Yan, a long and arduous journey. Come with me..."
Jiang Chen said.
"good."
Li Ming nodded.
After speaking briefly with Guan Xin, he got up and left the Guan family with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen directly released a flying boat that was tens of meters long. It was a beautiful and elegant piece of sky blue, and was engraved with various formations and patterns.
"This is a gift from my father to me when I broke through to the Martial Saint realm. It is called the Azure Flying Boat. It is a great tool for traveling. It is extremely fast, comparable to the full-speed flight of a martial artist in the Enlightenment Realm. The defensive restrictions engraved on it can also be dealt with calmly if attacked."
Jiang Chen introduced with a smile.
Li Ming looked at the flying boat with a hint of envy.
This thing is extremely rare. The craftsmen of Da Xuan cannot produce it on a large scale. They can only produce extremely rudimentary flying boats that are slow and expensive.
Li Ming didn't plan to buy it.
The Azure Flying Boat, an extremely exquisite flying boat, might cost significantly more to build than a pseudo-divine weapon.
It is available at a price but not in the market; only people with special channels can purchase it.
The group boarded the flying boat, which instantly transformed into a streak of light and left Cangzhou City.
Heading towards Black Demon Mountain.
