The Path of Chaos, long since lost... She wondered if this little girl might understand it as she hoped. This land alone offered such an opportunity.
The old lady pondered for a mont, then closed her eyes again, her presence fading slowly until it disappeared, as though she had never existed at all.
While Amalia was seeking an opportunity to break through the grave array, Jirandai Tang and his group, led by Hanjun Wangye, finally arrived near the Myriad Immortals Monunt.
As expected, they encountered no attacks along the way. Those who feared the Green Lotus Sect dared not make a move against them, though they kept a wary distance, trailing from afar.
"Are we just going to let them follow us?" Chohwan Jin glanced back, catching a glimpse of a few fleeting shadows.
"We can’t kill them, so there’s no choice but to let them follow. It can’t be helped," Jirandai Tang replied indifferently.
"Well, they can follow if they want," Hanjun Wangye remarked, letting go of the concern. "Ultimately, whether they gain anything depends on fate."
Jirandai Tang turned to him. "Tell us more about the Myriad Immortals Monunt. Are you certain it’s nearby?"
"Absolutely," Hanjun Wangye assured them.
"I’ve heard that the Myriad Immortals Monunt is a relic from the Immortal Realm," Taeseon Lei said in a low voice.
Artifacts from the Immortal Realm often carry unpredictable consequences.
Hanjun Wangye nodded. "Indeed, according to ancient records, the Myriad Immortals Monunt was once part of the Immortal Palace. After the great war of the immortals, the Immortal Realm vanished, and the Immortal Palace fell to Mystic Void Continent, transforming into the Myriad Immortals Monunt."
"I’ve also heard that the Myriad Immortals Monunt served a purpose beyond just being the Immortal Palace," Jirandai Tang, the senior disciple, added, hinting at knowledge beyond what the others possessed.
"What other purpose could it have?"
Everyone looked puzzled, but Hanjun Wangye gave a knowing smile. "I didn’t expect Brother Tang to know this. You’re right—the Myriad Immortals Monunt’s other purpose is to honor and enshrine the spirits of immortal heroes who died in battle."
Jirandai Tang nodded. "However, this Myriad Immortals Monunt is likely different from the one that existed before the Immortal Realm disappeared."
"True enough. It seems, Brother Tang, that even without my guidance, you would have sought out the Myriad Immortals Monunt."
"You’re too modest. Without your help, it would have taken us much longer to find it."
He had only heard of its existence and didn’t know the exact location, so having Hanjun Wangye guide them saved a great deal of ti.
"Senior Brother, how is this Myriad Immortals Monunt different from the one in the Immortal Realm?" Eunbyeol Ling asked, curiosity glinting in her eyes.
The others also looked at him, eager for an answer.
"When the Myriad Immortals Monunt was in the Immortal Realm, it was under the control of the Immortal Emperor," Jirandai Tang began. "After the Immortal Emperor fell, it beca an unclaid artifact. Unlike our life-bound treasures, this stele is a spatial artifact with a high chance of developing its own spirit in the future. Uncontrolled, it can act unpredictably. Previously, it enshrined the spirits of fallen immortals, but after all this ti, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance it now holds other dangers or entities."
In other words, the Myriad Immortals Monunt had beco dangerous as an ownerless artifact.
"Danger doesn’t deter us," Eunbyeol Ling said firmly. "Since the Myriad Immortals Monunt was once part of the Immortal Palace, it might contain records from the Immortal Realm. I think we should at least go and see."
"I agree with Senior Sister Ling," echoed Taeseon Lei.
Hanjun Wangye’s eyes glinted thoughtfully. Smiling, he remarked, "While most people think only about finding ways to improve their power and cultivation inside, you’re more interested in books. No wonder the Green Lotus Sect is the leading sect on Mystic Void Continent."
Without the patient guidance of their elders, they wouldn’t have developed such open-minded perspectives.
Sotis, Hanjun Wangye even felt a tinge of admiration for the disciples of the Green Lotus Sect.
"We do want to grow stronger," Jirandai Tang clarified simply, "but these two goals aren’t mutually exclusive."
Hanjun Wangye shrugged. "So, are we heading straight for the Myriad Immortals Monunt now, or waiting for the other disciples?"
Jirandai Tang looked behind them. "They haven’t caught up in quite a while; they may not arrive anyti soon. Renshu Chang should be with Jinhwa Hou right now. With him there, there shouldn’t be any issues."
Jirandai Tang nodded decisively. "Let’s go find the Myriad Immortals Monunt first. If they see the markers we leave, they’ll find us."
To expedite the search, they decided to split up.
Not long after they began searching, Temujin Lei of the Eternal One Sect arrived with his disciples in tow.
"They headed in this direction. They should be nearby," Hwejong Xiong said imdiately.
Temujin Lei’s keen eyes swept around the area. "The elders advised that upon entering the Myriad Immortals Path, we should prioritize finding the Myriad Immortals Monunt. Jirandai Tang and his group are most likely after it too."
Seonho Ming asked, "Should we split up to search?"
"We’ll divide into two smaller teams, but if you encounter the Green Lotus Sect disciples, don’t act recklessly," Temujin Lei replied coolly.
"What about those others? Should we get rid of them?" Jiheon Yang pointed to the scattered wild cultivators lingering nearby.
So were from smaller sects, but most of them were just wild cultivators and demonic cultivators.
"No need to bother with them. We must find the Myriad Immortals Monunt before the Green Lotus Sect."
Temujin Lei didn’t consider those wild cultivators or demonic cultivators worth his attention. His only real competition was with Jirandai Tang’s group.
"Hurry up—I think I saw soone from the Green Lotus Sect," Seonho Ming reported as he circled back with urgency in his voice.
"Let’s go," Temujin Lei decided decisively.
During the era of the Immortals War, Ten Thousand Floating Island served as the main battlefield, now scarred with vast gorges, deep fissures, and extensive ravines. Even with a rough idea of the Myriad Immortals Monunt’s location, finding it was no easy task.
