Tao Qian returned to his human form, riding auspicious clouds directly into the ancient Cave Mansion.
Having previously encountered the opulence of Dragon Marsh Mansion, an abode truly befitting an Immortal, Tao Qian's expectations were inevitably raised.
However, it didn't take long for this unique Bie Fu to surprise Tao Qian expressively.
Compared to the Water Mansion, which could be truly called a "Dragon Palace," this mansion in the mountain was quite simply modest.
Tao Qian strode in, and although the path grew increasingly wider, it was wholly primitive. There were no buildings or pavilions, not even a candle for light—the deeper he went, the darker and more secluded it beca, filled with rugged, strange rocks.
Upon reaching the deepest part of the Bie Fu, the first thing to catch his eye were twelve imnsely gigantic beast-shaped sculptures.
They were situated around an ancient altar at the core, with flags fluttering and fire swirling.
As Tao Qian ascended the altar, the Ascending Immortal Token leapt up on its own, and from those twelve beast-shaped sculptures, a shadow of Divine Beasts surged out simultaneously. Enveloped with a ferocious evil aura, they collided into the token.
At the sa mont, many Evil Spirits and Ghost Plagues, repelled by the Star Ring from the mountains, surged in like an incessant "Black Tide" from outside the mansion. They then morphed into wisps of black vapor, seamlessly rging with the entire mansion, the altar, and the rugged mansion walls.
"It's done!"
Tao Qian's face bead with joy as he now repossessed the second Forbidden Mansion, one with distinctive traits of Ascending Immortal Island.
The mont he reassud control of the "Twelve Ancient Nuoshen Sha Great Prohibition," Tao Qian had understood the Power of this prohibition.
Scenes on how to confront enemies naturally erged in his mind.
"If foes co another day, whether single or in groups, those who might break through the Water Vein Great Prohibition might not necessarily pass this obstacle."
"'The mont those Evil Spirits and Ghost Plagues swarm forward, neither body nor mind nor Divine Soul can escape corruption and defilent. Even experts with resilient Dao Heart, as ti passes, will also be caught in the Dao."
"Not to ntion the Twelve Ancient Nuoshen Beasts. Should I control the Forbidden Technique, each one of them could unleash the Bloodline Divine Power characteristic of the Divine Beasts."
"Aunt Yunhua truly possesses extraordinary skills in Forbidden Techniques and Arrays, ingeniously integrating ancient Nuoshen tricks into the Big Array. With Mystic Netherworld True Water as the Water Vein and the Ancient Nuoshen Sha as the Wind Vein, all I need is to also seize the Earth Vein Great Prohibition, then this Immortal Island will completely belong to ."
As these thoughts flashed through Tao Qian's mind, his gaze suddenly fell upon the extrely tall and vast walls surrounding the altar.
Under the illumination of the firelight, a series of extrely bizarre and ancient murals erged.
These murals depicted the ancestors of the Human Clan using powers derived from Demons and Abnormalities during their savage battles in the primitive era.
So were bearable to look at, but others caused goosebumps, chilling to the bone.
Especially those with the the of "borrowing power," the most disgusting and terrifying, including dissection, Parasitism, crossbreeding... and even so more indescribable scenes.
As Tao Qian and the others who entered with him gazed onward, most were fine.
rmaid Sha Nu'er, who was not combatant and only engaged in production, after watching a bit longer, suddenly let out a wail and, right before everyone, nearly underwent Mutation.
Seeing this, Tao Qian resolved the danger for Sha Nu'er and simply waved his hand to have them leave this place.
Compared to Dragon Marsh Water Mansion, this mansion indeed was not fit for habitation.
However, Tao Qian felt so interest and after observing a while, speculated:
"Most things within this mansion, including these murals, are likely moved here by Yunhua Immortal from elsewhere."
"Perhaps they originally ca from so ancient relic?"
While Tao Qian speculated, he continued observing the murals.
Having entered the path of Cultivation for no short period, his insights also grew daily.
However, in comparison to the vast Cultivation World and its long history, Tao Qian considered himself "limited in knowledge," which was quite an accurate self-assessnt.
Subduing the various Abnormalities and Beast Evils during the day had taken so ti, and Tao Qian hadn't observed long before Ascending Immortal Island quickly turned to night again.
As he was engrossed in the murals, suddenly, a few "cooing" sounds ca from outside the Cave Mansion.
Tao Qian snapped out of his reverie and quickly guessed the visitors from the cooing sounds.
"It seems those generous gifts weren't given in vain."
Muttering to himself, Tao Qian instantly shifted outside the mansion.
Indeed, the Nursing Woman Bird Demons who had bid farewell during the day had returned in the deep of night.
However, in this terrifying Ancient Mountain, although Tao Qian t a couple of scantily clad Female Demons, the atmosphere wasn't amorous at all.
These Female Demons lacked their day-ti enthusiasm and didn't cling to him, demanding to share his bed for sleep.
Seeing Tao Qian's appearance, the Female Demons first showed surprise, evidently astonished that Tao Qian had subdued another Forbidden Mansion in such a short ti.
Unexpectedly, they didn't act as overly zealous as they had during the day.
Instead, after a mont's hesitation, they really rushed up like birds, stuffing so bloody, slimy, cold, and bizarre objects into his hands while simultaneously whispering in his ear:
"Young Master, having seen these secrets, rember to destroy the evidence and don't reveal our plight, those of us poor birds."
"In truth, these aren't too secretive; many True Masters in the sect are aware, but they mostly hear about them and haven't witnessed them personally."
"Young Master, do not panic after seeing this. Since Duobao True Monarch hasn't warned, these matters might an nothing to you."
...
After hearing these sowhat incomprehensible words, Tao Qian felt an eeriness.
As he opened his palm, looking at the flesh-and-blood muddled eyeballs still connected by sinews, his expression froze montarily.
