Hu Le's eyes scanned the ground, searching for what he had divined earlier.
A moment later, a jade box carved from white jade came into his view.
This is exactly what I just calculated.
He reached out and beckoned, and the jade box, enveloped by a mysterious force, flew into his hand.
When the jade box fell into his hands, before he even opened it, his heart was stirred, and a sudden impulse arose within him.
In an instant, he realized that the destiny he was looking for was inside this jade box.
He first summoned a stream of primordial energy, which washed over the surface of the jade box, breaking the seal on it, and then enveloped the entire jade box in the center.
He did this because he was afraid that once the jade box was opened, the things hidden inside would take the opportunity to escape.
With a snap, he finally lifted the lid of the jade box.
The next moment, a thin piece of silk came into his view.
To be honest, Hu Le was quite disappointed that it wasn't the second volume of the mysterious book he had imagined.
However, he quickly composed himself, reached out and took out the roll of silk, unfolded it, and stared intently at it.
Seeing his serious expression, the four children nearby also came over to look.
Because Yang Huchan and Chu Xuanji were virgins and too short to see, they had to hop and jump to get a better look.
Hu Le didn't pay any attention to their behavior, but instead carefully examined the content depicted on the silk.
Upon seeing it, he immediately recognized it as a map.
The mountains, rivers, and streams depicted in the picture are rendered with remarkable realism, stroke by stroke.
He examined it for a while and finally saw something marked with a gold line at the top of the map.
It was a fairy palace surrounded by mountains.
He had a vague suspicion that this might be a map of some hidden celestial palace.
Could the celestial book be hidden within that celestial palace?
He was determined to obtain the method of transforming all things recorded in the Heavenly Book, after all, it was related to the Primordial Dao Fruit, so how could he not care...
However, he was not familiar with the mountains and rivers of this Heavenly Realm, and the map did not have any text markings, so he was not quite sure which place it depicted.
Then, at that moment, Zhuo Yifan, who was looking at the map, suddenly said, "This looks like the Ten Thousand Mountains."
At first, his tone was somewhat uncertain, but when Hu Le looked up at him and met Hu Le's deep, empty, and emotionless eyes, he secretly swallowed.
Finally, he looked at the silk again, checked it carefully, and then nodded solemnly...
After Hu Le inquired, he learned that the Ten Thousand Mountains mentioned by Zhuo Yifan were a forbidden cultivation ground within the Capital Heaven Realm.
Millions of years ago, the celestial and human realms of the Heavenly Realm were not yet completely separated. The human realm was inhabited not only by various ordinary beings, but also by some innate deities or demons.
At that time, humans, gods, immortals, demons, and monsters mingled together and lived in the world...
Later, the innate spiritual energy in the human world gradually decreased, and various kinds of worldly turbidity permeated the universe, becoming increasingly unfriendly to immortals and gods.
Even if they live deep in the mountains and forests, they still cannot escape the disturbances of the mortal world.
Unless they all hide in a secluded paradise, completely isolated from the world.
However, although the human realm is vast, there are too few blessed lands and grotto-heavens, while the number of immortals, demons, and monsters is enormous, and those blessed lands and grotto-heavens are simply not enough for them to share.
Therefore, some immortals and gods often fought each other endlessly over the bliss of the grotto heavens.
Later, the Heavenly Emperor of this realm could no longer bear to see it, so he gathered a group of great supernatural beings and created a celestial realm above the universe for all the immortals and gods to live in, freeing them from the taint of the mortal world...
Seeing this, the demon race and the demonic path also created their own separate worlds, completely detached from the human realm.
From that time on, the state of humans and gods living together in the Heavenly Realm came to an end...
Before the gods and demons left the human world, a great calamity had occurred on earth.
This calamity involved a wide range of people, with almost all the famous gods, immortals, demons, and monsters getting involved.
They were all extraordinary, and in the midst of their battle, they nearly reduced this entire world to dust.
As for the Ten Thousand Mountains, that was their main battlefield for fighting.
Originally, the area had been reduced to nothingness by the aftershocks of the battle.
But as countless immortals, gods, demons and monsters fell, their corpses and flesh either transformed into a universe, mending the heavens and earth, or became mountains, rivers and lakes, filling the void.
The Ten Thousand Mountains were formed at that time.
Although it is called the Ten Thousand Mountains, it does not mean that the area is only ten thousand miles in circumference, or that there are ten thousand mountain peaks.
Although there aren't 100,000 mountain peaks, there are still 70,000 to 80,000, so the area would already be more than 100,000 li.
Those mountains were mostly formed from the physical bodies of immortals, gods, demons, and monsters, and the rivers flowing through them were mostly formed from the blood of immortals.
As for the vegetation covering the mountain, it was formed from their hair...
The Hundred Thousand Mountains were filled with boundless malevolent energy because of the battles between immortals, gods, demons, and monsters.
As some immortals and gods perished, their physical bodies returned to heaven and earth, transforming into mountains and rivers. However, the various resentments and hatreds they felt before their deaths all turned into a thick aura of malevolence, which lingered in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and never dissipated.
So, don't be fooled by the fact that the Ten Thousand Mountains are full of spiritual energy, grow all kinds of exotic flowers and rare herbs, and nurture countless treasures of heaven and earth.
However, due to the malevolent energy, not only ordinary living beings, but even cultivators dare not easily set foot inside...
As for why Zhuo Yifan recognized the Ten Thousand Mountains drawn on the map, it was purely a coincidence.
Decades ago, his teacher Gui Yunzi was preparing to refine a batch of elixirs to deal with future calamities.
The main ingredient required for refining the elixir is extremely precious and only grows within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Therefore, he had no choice but to risk venturing deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to collect medicinal herbs.
At that time, Zhuo Yifan had only been a disciple for a short time, but he had heard of the fame of the Ten Thousand Mountains and was always full of curiosity.
Upon hearing that his teacher was going to delve into the subject, he immediately ran to Guiyunzi and begged to go along to broaden his horizons.
Gui Yunzi couldn't resist his disciple's pleas, and he also felt that there was no need to go deep into the mountains. The outer area of the Ten Thousand Mountains was not as dangerous as he had imagined. With his strength, he should be able to protect his disciple's safety.
So he agreed and then took Zhuo Yifan into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The master and apprentice searched for a long time in the dangerous mountains and rivers, and finally found the elixir they needed.
However, since the medicinal herb is not yet mature, it cannot be picked.
So the master and his apprentice stayed in the mountains for some time, waiting for the medicinal herb to mature.
During that time, Zhuo Yifan also figured out the surrounding terrain and landforms.
Later, after the medicinal herbs had fully matured, the master and apprentice collected them and left.
As luck would have it, Zhuo Yifan saw the mountains and terrain depicted on the silk, and at first he only felt that they looked familiar.
After recalling for a while and comparing it with the terrain he remembered, he finally confirmed it...
