Late Mountain Village, the morning at Late Mountain Village is so tranquil. Bathed in the morning glow, a rainbow light sprinkled down, rising a mist of white fog, making Late Mountain Village look like an earthly paradise.
Peaceful and far-reaching, vibrant and thriving. It’s undeniable that Late Mountain Village gives a feeling of freshness and naturalness, like a breeze of spring, intoxicating, making one feel at ease. Anyone who has stayed in Late Mountain Village would miss its ecological environnt.
On an open field behind the village, under a bent-neck willow tree, a figure is practicing Tai Chi there, focused and ticulous. Each movent is so perfect. Between his palms, there is a flow of spiritual energy, adding a touch of mystique to the scene.
Ever since Deng Li was entrusted by Tangyu to guard Late Mountain Village, he hasn’t left for years, and his greatest obsession has been cultivation. In the past five years, he has almost devoted all his ti to cultivation. This level of obsession is extraordinary. In the village, Deng Li has been considered a martial enthusiast. However, Deng Li’s skills have progressed rapidly, and he is now the undisputed champion of Late Mountain Village.
He can do the work of ten people alone, and when he goes hunting in the mountains, he always brings back enough prey for the whole village to have a feast.
Of course, Tangyu’s true strength has never been shown to outsiders; in fact, he himself doesn’t know how strong he really is. Every day, he only knows to cultivate, with few occasions requiring his strength.
"Hm? Who’s there?" Deng Li suddenly opened his eyes, sweeping his gaze over, and when he saw a dozen figures appearing in front of him, he was montarily stunned.
"Yu—Brother Yu!" After a good while, Deng Li finally managed to utter a few words with difficulty, his face filled with imnse excitent, he imdiately ran towards Tangyu, like a child who sees their returning father. Deng Li, this big man, had his eyes reddened and wet with tears.
Looking at Deng Li, Tangyu also smiled, patted his shoulder and said: "Why cry? You’re grown up now, shouldn’t you be happy that I’ve returned?"
Deng Li imdiately grinned broadly, his smile was so bright and carefree, just like a child without worries, nodding incessantly: "Happy, happy."
Zhao Yaya made a face at Deng Li, drew a line on her face with her hand: "Big man not knowing how to be shy, quickly wipe your tears. Hey, why are you glaring at ? Don’t recognize anymore? I’m the cutest, purest, and most beautiful Princess Zhao Yaya."
"Ah, Yaya, it’s you, after several years, you’ve indeed changed a lot." Deng Li also felt embarrassed, scratching his head, not recognizing her at first sight.
Tangyu said: "By the way, Deng Li, I saw you practicing Tai Chi earlier, and you’ve comprehended many new aspects on top of the Tai Chi foundation I originally taught you. You’ve moved beyond Tai Chi to embrace the Yin Yang Path, so of the might of the Great Dao is easily unleashed by your hands. And your realm, you’ve actually reached the Ninth Layer of Mystic Law Realm? Only a step away from the Golden Core Realm. That’s rather peculiar. Tell , have you encountered any great fortune in these years?"
Deng Li scratched his head, hearing such praise from Tangyu, he felt embarrassed, blushed, thought for a mont and shook his head: "No, Brother Yu, I’ve completely relied on myself to cultivate these years. I just spend all my ti on cultivation since I’m always free, I don’t even know what my realm is now, just kept cultivating continuously."
Deng Li’s words also led Tangyu to ponder a bit, with so astonishnt. Deng Li, lacking any guidance, under the condition of Earth’s scarce spiritual energy, managed to cultivate to the Ninth Layer of Mystic Law Realm by sheer effort in just over four years, which is truly astonishing. At least, in the Ancient Martial World, no one has reached Deng Li’s level.
From Deng Li’s Tai Chi earlier, Tangyu also sensed many things, secretly amazed at Deng Li’s comprehension ability, that he could reach this level entirely by his own exploration, is indeed precious.
Admittedly, Deng Li truly brought surprising delight to Tangyu.
Given that he had no great fortune and relied solely on individual cultivation efforts, it seems his talent must be exceptionally extraordinary. It was previously thought Deng Li was the type with brawny limbs and simple mind, yet unexpectedly he’s the most gifted among everyone.
However, another question puzzled Tangyu, in such a thin spiritual energy environnt, how did Deng Li manage to reach Ninth Layer of Mystic Law Realm within a little over four years? On Earth, Ancient Martial Artists mostly struggle to enter the Mystic Law Realm. A Mystic Law Realm practitioner stands at the peak. When Tangyu left Earth, he just reached the First Layer of the Mystic Law Realm. Deng Li’s current realm is astonishingly the Ninth Layer.
A First Layer of Mystic Law Realm can be understood, but Ninth Layer, that’s terrifying.
Tangyu pondered then asked again: "Deng Li, then usually, where do you often cultivate the most?"
Deng Li said: "Normally, I mainly cultivate in the village, but sotis, I also go to the back mountain to cultivate, on the mountain where the ancient temple is located."
"Ancient temple!" Tangyu suddenly rembered that beneath the ancient temple, soone from the Ancient Tis was sealed there. The most the village of Wanshan offers is fresh air, but the spiritual energy remains exceedingly thin. Cultivating to any high realm in Wanshan village would be incredibly difficult.
"Ancient temple, could it be? Is there sothing special about that place?" Tangyu also had a thought creep into his mind, and without finding an answer to this query, he felt an itch of curiosity he couldn’t ignore. He said: "Co on Deng Li, take to see the ancient temple."
So the group headed directly to the ancient temple on the back mountain. However, they weren’t in a hurry, treating the journey as a sightseeing trip, slowly making their way to the temple. Upon reaching the ancient temple at the mountaintop, Tangyu finally noticed sothing unusual.
The first ti he discovered this place, Tangyu sensed the spiritual energy here was thicker than in other places, and found another world within the dry well. But after the departure of the sealed person from the Ancient Tis, that spiritual energy should have dissipated. However, Tangyu discovered that not only had the spiritual energy not dispersed but had beco even thicker than before.
Tangyu cald his mind, focused deeply, and quickly revealed a look of surprise: "There’s sothing strange here; this spiritual energy is actually being transmitted from below the mountain. Being weakened layer by layer, it reaches the top, becoming so thin. There’s sothing down there."
"There’s sothing down there?" Deng Li looked at Tangyu with a face full of surprise.
Zhao Yaya’s eyes darted around, suddenly shouting: "Could there be an imperial tomb or a treasure down there? If there’s an imperial tomb, aren’t we about to get rich?"
Guo Momo smacked Zhao Yaya on the head, laughing: "You’ve been reading too much of ’Grave Robbers’ Chronicles’, haven’t you?"
Tangyu said: "You all step back; I’ll dig a hole and go down to see what’s exactly below, I feel this thing is not simple."
Lin Feifei and the others flew up into the air directly, Zhao Yaya grabbed Deng Li and lifted him into the sky, then looked at him with a teasing smile: "Quickly flatter your princess, otherwise, if this princess’ hand slips, you’ll fall down. If you break an arm or a leg, don’t bla ."
Deng Li was terrified, continuously begging for forgiveness, but his mouth couldn’t utter any words of praise.
Tangyu made his move, thrusting a sword into the ground. Imdiately, a beam of light shot out like a laser, and all the rocks along its path turned to nothingness. A deep, bottomless pit was quickly ford.
Tangyu jumped directly into the deep pit and continued digging thousands of ters deep before stopping. Tangyu’s gaze shifted: "This should be it; there’s definitely sothing here. Unexpectedly, there is such strong formation fluctuation here. The spiritual energy is very dense; what’s buried underneath here?"
Tangyu continued to dig, no longer downward but spreading sideways. Soon, he saw a beam of light shooting out from behind a stone, and upon removing the stone, a stone chamber spanning a thousand ters appeared before Tangyu’s eyes. The chamber was filled with a dazzling array of colors. In the center, there was a stone platform as pure white as jade, extrely beautiful. When Tangyu’s gaze fell upon an object on the stone platform, a look of pleasant surprise imdiately appeared on his face.
"Nine Plate Axe?" Floating on that stone was indeed a Nine Plate Axe, but what puzzled Tangyu was that even with the appearance of the Nine Plate Axe, why couldn’t he sense it? Why didn’t the Pangu Axe emit the summoning force as it did before?
Tangyu moved, holding the Pangu Axe in his hand, yet there was still no summoning sensation. Only by carefully sensing could he detect a faint force, too weak to notice without ticulous attention.
But Tangyu had a strong sense of confidence in his heart; the axe before him was definitely a Nine Plate Axe.
With nine Nine Plate Axes, Tangyu had now obtained three, and knew of another which was said to be in the possession of the Pan Heavenly King, although Tangyu had never seen him use it. Intending to ask about it on several occasions, but there never seed to be an opportunity. Later he hurried back to Earth and didn’t think much of it. Five of the Nine Plate Axes remained unaccounted for, their whereabouts unknown.
Upon seeing the Nine Plate Axe before him, a bold thought suddenly surfaced: "Could it be that the Pangu Immortal Venerate left the other Nine Plate Axes on Earth? If so, it ans the Pangu Immortal Venerate returned to Earth later. This explains the protective formation on Earth. The Nine Plate Axes were refined by the Pangu Immortal Venerate after achieving Immortal Venerate status, and if they exist on Earth, it proves that he visited Earth after his ascension to Immortal Venerate."
"Then why didn’t the Pangu Immortal Venerate leave any cultivation techniques on Earth?"
