Huo i’er smiled gently at Jin Lieyang and said, "I’m surprised to see you, Jin, at the Five Elents Mountain."
After exchanging pleasantries with the Three Great Saints for a while, Huo i’er returned to Ye Chen’s side.
Not long after the arrival of the Three Great Saints, five more late-stage Heavenly Saints hastened to the gathering place. After that, no one else appeared.
All the participants for the Five Elents Mountain expedition had arrived!
As Ye Chen’s gaze swept over the area, he ascertained the number of adventurers. This ti, a total of two thousand three hundred and sixty-two people from the thirty-three continents had joined the expedition to the Five Elents Mountain.
Of course, this didn’t include those hidden within spatial treasures.
Like Ye Chen, who carried nine major icy guards with him, he was sure there were many others who also secretly brought along late-stage Heavenly Saint experts as a covert protective asure for entering the expedition site.
Of course, martial artists below the late-stage Heavenly Saint level dared not bring anyone in spatial treasures into the Five Elents Mountain. Ye Chen had already inquired; aside from those who were late-stage Heavenly Saints and those who possessed expedition tokens, others, if hidden within spatial treasures, could easily be killed by the forces at the checkpoints.
There were, however, exceptions regarding certain spatial treasures, like the divine artifact "Ice Snow Jade Amulet" Ye Chen carried, which could transport lower-level martial artists into the Five Elents Mountain.
But the dangers of the Five Elents Mountain were unparalleled, and nobody would casually take low-level martial artists inside.
Once all the personnel had arrived, the agreed-upon ti for the official start of the Five Elents Mountain expedition finally ca.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the appointed ti, two figures appeared out of the void.
One was clad in the robes of Heavenly Evolution Palace, and the other in the robes of the Mystery Pavilion—none other than the founders of the two largest second-tier sects of the Heavenly Evolution Continent: the old ancestor of the Heavenly Evolution Palace and the Mystery Heavenly Saint of the late-stage Heavenly Saint from the Mystery Pavilion.
Upon seeing these two figures, Ye Chen’s breath caught in his chest.
Although they weren’t emanating any aura, Ye Chen knew by intuition that their strength was greater than that of Palace Master Yuan Li, likely ranking among the topmost layer of power among the late-stage Heavenly Saints.
Then, from within the divine artifact "Ice Snow Jade Amulet," ca the voice of Bing Shiyi: "Ye Chen, these two are probably the strongest late-stage Heavenly Saints here. Their strength is only slightly less than Bing Shier and , stronger than the other guards!"
Hearing Bing Shiyi’s words, Ye Chen was equally astonished: "That strong?!"
Ye Chen knew that being one of the Heavenly Saint-level guards capable of serving the Ice-Sealed God King, from Bing Shiyi to Bing Shijiu, their strength was terrifying to contemplate.
Now the fact that the two Heavenly Saints from the two major second-tier sects of the Heavenly Evolution Continent were only slightly weaker than the top nine icy guards of Bing Shiyi and Bing Shier naturally caused him imnse shock.
While Ye Chen was still reeling with shock, the other adventurers’ gazes were all fixated on the old ancestor from Heavenly Evolution Palace and the Mystery Heavenly Saint.
Even Jin Lieyang, the leader of the Three Great Saints, bowed respectfully to these two Heavenly Saints.
At that mont, the old ancestor from Heavenly Evolution Palace and the Mystery Heavenly Saint, looking at the more than two thousand adventurers, finally spoke: "This expedition to the Five Elents Mountain will be led by the two of us."
"Before heading to the Five Elents Mountain, there are so things you may already know, but I still want to emphasize them once again."
"The Five Elents Mountain is divided into the First Mountain, Second Mountain, Third Mountain, Fourth Mountain, and Fifth Mountain. While the first four mountains are extrely dangerous, if you are extrely cautious, there is still a great chance of survival."
"But as for the Fifth Mountain, you must absolutely not set foot there; no matter how formidable you are or how many hidden trump cards you have, once you step onto the Fifth Mountain, you are likely to face annihilation!"
The words of the old ancestor from Heavenly Evolution Palace and the Mystery Heavenly Saint caused countless adventurers, even those who were late-stage Heavenly Saints, to have a mont of intense concentration.
They had heard of the dangers of the Fifth Mountain, but the repeated emphasis from these two great Heavenly Saints made them all the more determined to steer clear of it!
"Apart from the Fifth Mountain, you may attempt to explore the other four gigantic mountains."
"There is no set pattern for the expedition; in any case, be very cautious—staying alive is the most important thing!"
After saying this, the two great Heavenly Saints looked at the adventurers in the field with an almost amused expression: "The perils of the Five Elents Mountain don’t only lie in the dangers of the expedition site but also in the dangers posed by the other martial artists."
"This, I need not explain in detail; you should understand it yourselves."
With this subtle hint from the two great Heavenly Saints, countless martial artists felt a jolt of alarm.
Of course, they understood what the two great Heavenly Saints ant.
The Five Elents Mountain, as an expedition site, was bound to reveal treasures of incredible value, and the inevitable strife that these treasures would provoke could not be avoided.
And it wasn’t just strife over valuables that was feared; many grudges and mortal enemies would likely take advantage of the Five Elents Mountain to settle things once and for all.
In the past, countless adventurers who explored the Five Elents Mountain perished amidst the myriad dangers of the expedition, definitely not at the hands of other adventurers.
This was sothing all adventurers knew in their hearts.
Upon hearing the words of the two Heavenly Saints, many people secretly cast wary glances at those around them, and there were quite a few with plans in mind whose eyes flickered with a cold light that went unnoticed by anyone, clearly harboring malicious intentions.
Among them was Ao Lei, who had always wanted to target Ye Chen!
What perhaps no one knew was that Jin Lieyang, the lead figure among the Three Great Saints, also had cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes!
Even the other two saints accompanying Jin Lieyang did not know what Jin ant by saying they were going to the Five Elents Mountain to "seize one thing, kill one person," what exactly they were to seize, and who they were to kill.
After reminding the adventurers to beware of other martial artists, the elder of Heavenly Evolution emphasized one last thing, "The most important matter for this expedition is that you only have three months’ ti."
"After three months, regardless of where you are in the Five Elents Mountain, you must make your way to one of the ninety-nine virtual void teleportation locations in the mountains and teleport out from there."
"Rember, if you do not exit after three months, then you will be trapped in the Five Elents Mountain and die. It doesn’t matter if you are of the Heavenly Saint Realm or below; even if you are a First Tribulation true god, you will certainly perish."
"Because, after the three-month expedition ti ends, a violent virtual void hurricane will sweep through the entire Five Elents Mountain, a hurricane that can kill all powerhouses. These virtual void hurricanes, not even a First Tribulation true god can withstand!"
"Rember, the three-month expedition ti, as well as the rules for entering and leaving the Five Elents Mountain, were all gained through the experience of countless martial artists at the cost of their lives. You absolutely must not violate them."
After reemphasizing the critical timing for exiting the Five Elents Mountain, the Mystery Heavenly Saint also spoke up, "Alright, I have told you everything that needs to be said."
"In short, grasp the three months you have, and explore within the Five Elents Mountain. How you allocate the three months, how you overco the crises within the Five Elents Mountain, are all up to you."
"We two, will only escort you into the Five Elents Mountain. The rest is up to your own fortune."
"Now, everyone, board the ’Aurora Holy Boat’ and embark with us towards the Five Elents Mountain!"
After the Mystery Heavenly Saint finished speaking, he pointed a big hand towards the void, and a palm-sized silver-white flying boat instantly burst into the void.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Flying Boat rapidly expanded against the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it beca a thousand feet large!
Following the leading of the elder of Heavenly Evolution and the Mystery Heavenly Saint, figures flew one after another into the Flying Boat, making "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" sounds.
"Ye Chen, let’s go too."
The adventurers from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, led by the Skyscraper Palace Master, all flew into the Flying Boat as well.
Huo i’er and other female martial artists from the Leaving Fire Continent, along with Ao Lei, the Three Great Saints, and several thousand martial artists from other continents, flew onto the Flying Boat in just a mont.
Once everyone had boarded, the Mystery Heavenly Saint imdiately steered the Flying Boat, departing from the Rift Sky City, heading towards the vast expanse of heaven.
"Rumors say that the Five Elents Mountain is hidden within a void vortex outside the Heavenly Evolution Continent, a series of five massive mountains obscured by the void."
"I wonder how long it will take to enter that void vortex and see the Five Elents Mountain."
Ye Chen stood among the crowd on the Flying Boat, watching the void pass by outside of it. After about half an hour, he could feel that the Flying Boat had left the territory of the Heavenly Evolution Continent and entered the pitch-black extraterritorial realm.
The fierce black wind outside the Flying Boat made the protective barriers hum noisily as if they were on the verge of collapse at any mont.
Just by looking at that black wind, Ye Chen knew that it was definitely a terrifying extraterritorial hurricane capable of killing countless powerhouses. Probably only the Mystery Heavenly Saint’s high-grade Holy Boat could withstand it.
If it were Ye Chen’s lower-grade Heavenly Origin Boat, it would probably be torn to shreds by this black wind instantaneously.
The Aurora Holy Boat carefully advanced through the pitch-black extraterritorial realm, while nearly all of the thousands of adventurers in the Boat looked through its protective barriers at the mysterious extraterritorial realm of the great continent.
After about an hour of flight, everyone on the Flying Boat finally saw a faintly visible, shimring light cluster in the distance.
At this mont, the elder of Heavenly Evolution and the Mystery Heavenly Saint’s voices reached everyone’s ears, "That shining light cluster is the space hiding the Land of the Five Elents."
"Once you enter it, you will reach the true Five Elents Mountain!"
The words of the elder of Heavenly Evolution and the Mystery Heavenly Saint made the adventurers who had never entered the Five Elents Mountain before feel both excited and nervous.
At this mont, Ye Chen, staring intently at the glowing light cluster ahead, took a deep breath, "Five Elents Mountain, the place to comprehend the laws of the five great virtual heavens, the land of adventure, here I co!"
