Chapter 132 Entering the Holy Cliff
The Holy Cliff is located at the junction of the Central Territory and the Northern Territory. Its location is very special. On weekdays, almost no one comes here and they stay away.
The reason why people avoid this place is because it carries an ominous history. There was once a supreme saint who was on par with the ancient emperors. In his old age, his blood and qi dried up, dyeing the entire dry cliff red. He died regrettably, leaving behind a historical mystery that can never be solved.
Although it is called "Ya", when you get closer, you will find that it is actually a continuous group of large mountains, majestic and solemn. These mountains are dark black, as if they were stained with thick ink. Even if there are countless ancient trees growing on them, it is difficult to conceal their depth and solemnity. Dozens of mountains stand side by side, majestic and imposing, as if it is the most magnificent poem of nature.
"Dacheng's supreme holy body is too powerful. It was cut off from the Immortal Mountain and used as his place of retreat." The big black dog sighed.
Ye Fan and the others couldn't help but be shocked. They thought that it was because the invincible great saint body in heaven and earth had its blood and energy declining in his later years, and was taken advantage of by the unknown existence.
Otherwise, with his unparalleled power, at his peak, he would be on par with the emperor, and it would be difficult for anyone in this world to get rid of him.
"A hero's old age is not allowed to see his white hair in the world." The big black dog looked at the huge group of mountains, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "This may be the greatest sorrow in the world..."
“Xiao Ye, you must find a plant of immortality medicine and plant it so that you can live two lifetimes. I heard from my grandfather that even those who have achieved great saintly bodies do not have a peaceful old age. You must not wait until their energy and blood decline…” Li Heishui also spoke.
"Uncle Zhang Wu also said that Master Yuan Tianshi's later years will be unlucky! He will grow red hair!" Zixia also spoke to scare Ye Fan.
Ye Fan turned around and smiled at Zixia: "If I really grow red hair in my later years, who will accompany you?"
Pangbo couldn't help but tease, "Xiao Ye Zi, your old age debuffs are almost fully stacked."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan laughed and said, "This is called after all the bad comes the good, and all the bad comes the bad! Maybe all these unfavorable factors of mine can finally give me a great leap forward!"
While chatting, they came to the foot of the mountain. More than fifty black mountains stood side by side, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"What's so strange in there?" Li Heishui asked the big black dog. Normally, no one dared to approach this place, and people always avoided it as if it were ghosts or demons.
"It's hard to say what's in here, but it's definitely weird. There might be strange deaths once you go in." The big black dog muttered.
"What do you mean?" Li Heishui asked.
"To be specific, once you go in, you won't even know how you died. It's very weird and mysterious, leaving people confused." Big Black Dog added.
"So this is also a disaster land. We don't even know what we will encounter?" Ye Fan was surprised. This place was very unusual and he didn't know what he would encounter.
However, they were not overly afraid. After all, they were following a saint. If even the old madman could not enter and leave this place, then no one in the world could do it.
"Awoo..." A long howl of a lone wolf was heard. The sound was shrill and sad, echoing in this black mountain range.
"Your relatives are here." Tu Fei poked the big black dog.
"Woof!" The big black dog bared its teeth and bit his wrist, refusing to let go.
"Damn it, I'm just telling the truth. Why are you so excited? Open your mouth!" Tu Fei screamed.
"Ah..."
A few old crows filled with deathly aura flapped their wings on a dead old tree outside the black cliff, making creepy cries that were full of sadness.
"Why do I feel this place is so ominous..." After Tu Fei shook off Hei Huang's big mouth, he felt a chill on his neck.
"It's okay. I don't believe that this black cliff can really cause evil. Although the Great Saint died here, more than 100,000 years have passed after all. Even if there are some inexplicable existences, they have long disappeared under the power of time. Nothing can live that long." The big black dog said somewhat guiltily. The only thing it believed in was the fighting power of the old madman.
"Let's go!" Ye Fan picked up little Nannan, put her on Heihuang's back, and then strode forward.
After entering the Black Holy Cliff, the strange atmosphere became stronger, as if you had arrived at a cemetery, making you feel cold all over.
"Wow..." A sudden loud cry was heard, so sad and miserable that the sound could be heard more than ten miles away.
Right next to them, there was a dry old tree that was so big that five or six people couldn't hug it together. It grew on the edge of the holy cliff.
There was a horrible bird's nest on the tree, which was built with dead bones, more than half a person's height, and filled with a gloomy aura and wisps of black mist. "What the hell, what kind of bird is this?" Li Heishui was surprised, and felt that the coldness in his body had increased.
Next to the bird's nest made of human bones, there stood a strange and weird bird. It had a body as black as a crow and a human face, but it also had a bird's beak with a black curved hook like a knife.
It can be more than one meter long, as black as ink, and the yin energy on its body is very heavy, as if it has a dead head, making the whole dead ancient tree feel cold.
"This place is fucking weird!" The big black dog shuddered and couldn't help cursing, saying, "This is an ancient bird that was almost invisible in ancient times. It specializes in eating the corpses of the strong. Legend has it that anyone who is howled by it will not live long."
"Pulling"
The strange bird spread its wings and flew away, and a human skull that had just been half-eaten fell from its mouth, looking somewhat hideous.
"Why do I feel like this is not going to go well? It's a bad omen." Pangbo muttered to himself.
"There's someone over there, with black hair!" Little girl pointed nervously ahead.
"call"
The wind was blowing violently, and the old madman suddenly made a move. His big sleeves swept up the sky and the earth, blowing away the endless grass, trees and rocks. A low roar was heard in the distance, making people's souls tremble.
Everyone was shocked. A humanoid creature with long black hair all over its body, which made people feel creepy, flashed in the depths of the black holy cliff and disappeared.
"What kind of creature is that?" the big black dog was surprised.
All the ominous scenes around disappeared, the voices of the old crow, the lone wolf, etc. disappeared, and the black mountain returned to peace.
"Let's go in and take a look. In a while it will all depend on your attainments in formation patterns." Ye Fan touched the Black Emperor's dog head and was almost bitten by it.
The group finally stepped into the Immortal Mountain. Ye Fan took out the ancient scroll he had obtained in Lizhou in the Northern Territory and looked for the place marked with the Nine Secrets.
"It's the deepest part of the holy cliff..."
Several people gathered together to observe carefully, and then frowned at the same time. The moment they stepped into the Holy Cliff area, there was a mysterious power that made people feel palpitating and creepy.
"I can't fly!" Li Heishui was the first to notice something unusual. He was unable to leave the ground and could not jump into the void.
"Here is the formation pattern of the ancient emperor." A strange light flashed in the big black dog's eyes.
"Be careful. Even Chilong Taoist has been trapped in the deepest place for fifteen hundred years and was almost turned into ashes." Ye Fan reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure this time. With my attainments in Dao patterns, I can move freely here!" The big black dog didn't know why, but suddenly his confidence increased. He said, "Follow me. I'll protect you here."
Zixia didn't believe a word of what the dead dog said. If it said it was 30% sure, it often meant danger; if it said it was 100% sure, it might mean a near-death experience. Therefore, she held little Nannan tightly in her arms without hesitation, ready to deal with any sudden danger at any time.
"Crack!"
The big black dog was the first to move forward, but as soon as he took two steps, thunder and lightning suddenly fell from the clear sky. It was struck with foam at the mouth and fell to the ground, covered in black smoke.
"Oh, dog, are you okay?" Little Nannan asked with her big eyes blinking.
"It hurts so much..." The big black dog lay there with a broken heart. His four big paws kept twitching, and he murmured, "Emperor... why did you chop me too?"
"I just found out that everything you do is outrageous. You said you were doing it as if you were in an empty space, but what happened in the end? You just pretended, and you got struck by lightning, right?" Li Heishui said in a stern voice.
"Woof, damn it!" The big black dog wanted to bite him, but after struggling for a long time, it couldn't stand up. It was badly injured and many of its bones were broken.
This made several people feel awe-inspiring. The mysterious and terrifying Holy Cliff was even more evil than they had imagined. Just after stepping in, the Black Emperor, who had profound attainments in Dao patterns, was almost killed.
