The Primordial Mythical Beast, born when the heavens and earth first opened, absorbed the chaotic air, and it is sothing even immortals do not casually provoke. The region of Buliang Mountain is peculiar, with three years of sumr followed by three years of winter. As the winter season nears its third year, the Primordial Mythical Beast goes hunting and hibernates, so Qingwu probably took advantage of this opportunity to place the Glassy Bottle there.
This ans that once the Primordial Mythical Beast returns to its lair, it will be several years before they can safely retrieve the Glassy Bottle. Qingwu’s choice of this location is rather malicious. No wonder A’Li was cursing him earlier. They can only hope the Primordial Mythical Beast hasn’t returned yet.
When they reached the vicinity of Buliang Mountain, they saw a group of enormous Primordial Mythical Beasts heading toward Bu Zhou Mountain. Nanli’s eyes nearly darkened.
They could only remain in a safe area, not daring to approach too closely. Primordial Mythical Beasts are vastly different from ordinary demon beasts, with extrely sharp senses and deadly combat abilities. Even though Siheng has reached the Celestial Being Realm, Nanli is at the later stage of Nascent Soul and pregnant with three little ones. If they were to be detected by a Primordial Mythical Beast, they probably wouldn’t be able to leave unscathed.
They went to a cave to take shelter from the wind and snow. So of the Primordial Mythical Beasts were already resting in front. The number of them behind was obscured, so they couldn’t accurately count. However, after the Primordial Mythical Beasts had all returned to their lair, Siheng had a rough idea. "I’ve been here before. There are probably nine Primordial Mythical Beasts in total. The number seems about the sa, not too few, not too many."
Nanli nodded. "It’s normal. Just like ancient divine beasts, Primordial Mythical Beasts have an extrely long lifespan. Their numbers won’t casually decrease unless sothing major happens."
The two of them circled to the rear of the cave. As night approached, the cold light beca more intense. The weather in this area is harsh, and they didn’t need to worry about the Primordial Mythical Beasts detecting them. Nanli didn’t communicate through sound transmission but spoke directly, "With so many of them, it’s not wise to force our way in. We have two options: one, we wait for three or four years until they leave their lair, then retrieve the Glassy Bottle. Two, we use an invisibility and concealnt talisman and take a risk."
Siheng’s expression darkened. "With Shang Jue lurking in the shadows, we can’t afford to waste ti. We should have already retrieved your Glassy Bottle by now."
"Then it’s the second option."
"Alright, you wait outside for . I’ll go in alone," Siheng said.
Nanli frowned and imdiately grabbed his hand. "No, I’m going too."
Siheng glanced at her face, then at her belly. He shook his head lightly. "A’Li, it’s too dangerous."
"We’ll be in danger inside the lair, so we should go together to support each other," Nanli said. "Besides, I’m not that pregnant yet. I’m not moving too slowly, so you don’t need to worry about slowing you down."
Siheng helplessly said, "You really... As your husband, I don’t want you taking risks. Please, be good..."
But before he could finish trying to coax her, Nanli stared at him and interrupted, "Then what’s the point of being pregnant if you’re going to underestimate ? I’ve received Qingwu’s mories, so I know the exact location. I must go."
Siheng saw that she was about to get angry, and his heart clenched. He sighed softly. "Alright, if sothing goes wrong, we’ll leave imdiately."
Seeing that he had agreed, Nanli imdiately grinned. "I’ll listen to you."
Siheng affectionately shook his head. She always acted so independently. What she could do, she would do; if she couldn’t, she wouldn’t force herself. There was really nothing for him to worry about.
The two of them made their decision. Nanli then drew two sets of talismans. As soon as the wind and snow summoning talisman was activated, the winds on Buliang Mountain beca fiercer, and soon, heavy snowflakes began to fall.
Before long, the entire mountaintop was covered in silver snow. The temperature dropped sharply. Even though Nanli had spiritual protection, she still felt the cold wind biting at her. However, she used a Warming Talisman, and soon, her hands and feet ward up, and her body felt much more comfortable. She also applied it to Siheng.
After a brief mont, Siheng put his hand down and said, "A’Li, with you here, I feel like I’m the useless one."
Nanli, her gaze focused on the lair, didn’t turn her head. She spoke with annoyance, "What kind of small tricks are those? If it cos to a fight, I’ll be relying on you."
Siheng gently grasped her hand, his voice serious. "A’Li, you an what you say. Don’t rush ahead of ."
Nanli smiled awkwardly. "Of course, of course."
This ti, she would definitely stay behind him. Everyone calls her the Divine Sovereign, but she hasn’t lost her mind. She knew very well how capable she was.
The two waited until midnight, confirming that the Primordial Mythical Beasts had all gone into hibernation. They then used the invisibility and concealnt talismans to enter the lair.
The lair was enormous, but the Primordial Mythical Beasts were even larger than the demon beasts of the Eastern Sea, one after another lying close together, nearly filling the entire lair.
With the assistance of Siheng’s techniques, and their use of spiritual energy to walk, they moved almost as light as a feather, leaving no trace or sound. They carefully navigated through the gaps in the mountain.
But soon, a massive Primordial Mythical Beast blocked their path. Nanli assessed the terrain, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Siheng made a hand gesture, clearly asking: What’s wrong?
Nanli pointed to the ground beneath the huge Primordial Mythical Beast and shrugged her shoulders. She then raised her hands in a gesture of helplessness.
This ti, Siheng’s facial muscles twitched.
The Glassy Bottle was buried right under this spot.
And as luck would have it, the Primordial Mythical Beast above them was the leader of the demon beasts. It was unclear whether Qingwu had chosen this spot on purpose or if it was just a stroke of bad luck.
But now that they were here, they couldn’t back out.
Nanli imdiately drew an Earth Escape Talisman.
Siheng furrowed his brow and sent a sound transmission, "The Earth Escape technique will create noise and definitely alert them."
Nanli nodded in response, "Yes, but they’ve only just woken up. They must still be groggy. We can take advantage of their slow movents and leave quickly. We’ll et outside."
Siheng understood her intention—this way, they would split up so neither of them would slow the other down and they could escape if the situation got dire.
He sighed inwardly but agreed. He would make so noise on another side to buy her more ti.
As Nanli activated the Earth Escape Talisman, Siheng used his Instantaneous Movent to get above the lair.
The Primordial Mythical Beasts weren’t to be underestimated. When Siheng used his Instantaneous Movent, it created a large spiritual energy fluctuation, which imdiately woke up one of the beasts.
The beast let out a roar.
Snow piled up outside the lair, nearly covering the entrance.
It was unclear which of the beasts had the ability to detect their talismans, but they lost their effect.
The Primordial Mythical Beasts roared in unison, slowly getting up.
The lair, already crowded, beca even more cramped.
They imdiately spotted Siheng.
The lair was not large, restricting their movents, but the Primordial Mythical Beasts had lived for countless years, and their team combat abilities were not to be taken lightly.
The largest of the beasts began to retreat.
One, to block the entrance.
Two, to make space for their companions.
anwhile, the smaller, more agile Primordial Mythical Beasts began attacking Siheng from all directions, working together in perfect harmony.
