Chapter 799: Demon Mountain Ridge

The witch was nearly driven mad; she wanted to kill herself, but could not do so.

"I hate it..." she roared, her terrified eyes watching the excrement and urine crash down, then splash and engulf her body.

"Seal!" Fatty shouted softly, and in the void a huge yin-yang divine disk suddenly appeared, then slowly concealed itself.

The others left the place, and Fatty set up a small array to gather essence below, so she would live longer.

The yin-yang divine disk that had appeared in the void startled the mortals here, who clicked their tongues in amazement.

"They've left. What happened in there just now?"

"Who knows? But they must have cast a spell..." one person said, then rushed inside to soak up some immortal aura.

As he moved, a crowd of people began rushing inside, and the entire latrine instantly became lively...

Glancing at the scene at the latrine, Yang Tian couldn't help but smile, then sighed: "If Yun'er saw this, she would be very happy."

This place was not far from the Southern Divine Dynasty; Hou Tianhe was from a village in that dynasty, and they returned to the Star Moon Pavilion.

"Greetings, seniors..." The silver-clad woman, seeing them arrive again, hurried over, still thinking oddly: "I wonder if they went to the latrine..."

"Take us to the teleportation array." Yang Tian said flatly. With the Star Moon Pavilion's resources, they should have a large teleportation array.

"Senior wants to use it alone?" Hearing this, the silver-clad woman couldn't help asking. Such void arrays were usually opened only when enough people gathered; if opened early, a large fee—no small sum—was required.

Yang Tian nodded. He had no time to wait now. If his ancestor failed to suppress the demon god, it might be ages before he got another chance to enter.

"Yes, senior." Sticking out her tongue, the silver-clad woman nodded, and they headed to an underground chamber, where a large void array capable of crossing a hundred thousand li was located.

Now that Yang Tian was wealthy, he could afford to use the void array alone. Normally, such large arrays were used by cultivators who agreed in advance, waiting until enough people gathered to reduce costs.

"So generous..." The silver-clad woman's eyes sparkled. Her void ring contained three thousand high-grade blood stones—a huge fortune.

"When will I find a man like that..." Watching the radiant void array, the silver-clad woman began to daydream...

In the void array, Yuan Xia bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yang Tian, who was resting with his eyes closed. She hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not speak.

She knew very well Yun'er's place in his heart; given Yang Tian's nature, he would definitely go.

Moreover, with news of his parents, he would venture there even more. Though it was a dragon's pool and tiger's den, it was Yang Tian's nature never to give up such an opportunity.

Sensing this concerned gaze, Yang Tian opened his eyes. Their eyes met, and a blush crept onto Yuan Xia's cheeks.

"Don't worry..." Holding Yuan Xia's jade hand, Yang Tian smiled: "It won't be that easy..."

Before he could finish, her jade hand covered his lips, and she leaned her head on his shoulder, not knowing how many more days like this she could hold on.

In her memory, the time they had spent together was not long, but every encounter was so thrilling.

After a brief embrace, they appeared in a strange place after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Without hesitation, Yang Tian crossed the void again, moving toward the Southern Divine Dynasty.

After half a day, having crossed nearly ten million li, Yang Tian's pockets had shrunk considerably. The high-grade blood stones spent would drive a major power mad.

"Yuyao is still generous, sending Xiao Jin and Xiao Zi to the Eastern Continent for free..." Yang Tian couldn't help but smirk. The great elder was probably spitting blood in frustration.

"Damn, no wonder these sects are so rich. The void arrays alone make them a fortune." Fatty smacked his lips. A few activations and they recouped their costs; he even felt like becoming a merchant.

The others nodded. Yang Tian's gaze swept around, and his expression suddenly became uncertain.

In the void, something hazy seemed to be gathering. His eyes fell to the south; this energy was converging southward at a terrifying speed.

"This is dragon qi!" Fatty exclaimed in surprise: "It can actually gather now. Is the world entering another era after the reenactment of heaven and earth?"

"Probably." Yang Tian nodded. Though he didn't know exactly what it was, it seemed formidable.

"What is dragon qi?" Hou Tianhe scratched his head, very puzzled.

"It's a substance from dragon veins. Any sect or dynasty can gather it, but the methods required are terrifying. It seems the Southern Divine Dynasty has a powerful diviner." Fatty said.

"This dragon qi is probably the fate, related to the decline of sects and dynasties." Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian pondered.

"The Southern Divine Dynasty has always been a divine dynasty. With a powerful diviner aiding them, they've seized the initiative and are likely to rise."

The Southern Divine Dynasty had no sects, only families. If a sect emerged, it would be suppressed by the dynasty, which was the hegemon here.

Now occupying the entire Southern Continent, with a powerful diviner gathering dragon vein energy, their fate was strong, and their rise was certain.

"I wonder if Jianxu can come out. If so, the Eastern State Alliance would have some confidence." Yang Tian sighed inwardly.

Major sects could gather dragon vein energy widely, and then there would be many cases of sect extermination. Once a sect was wiped out, its energy could be taken away.

"I hope the flames of war don't spread too quickly." In this chaotic world, Yang Tian actually had little to worry about.

His primary goal now was to rescue his parents first. Later, the demon race would become terrifying, and he didn't know when this wish would be fulfilled.

There had been some progress with Yun'er's matter, but it still weighed on his mind daily. Sometimes he even longed for the family to reunite, then live a carefree life.

"Refining the Yin-Yang Life-Returning Pill takes too long. Half a day has already passed." Yang Tian wanted to wait for Yang Xiao to recover his body, then infiltrate the demon lair to rescue his parents with a higher chance of success.

But the demon god's emergence was imminent, leaving no time to waste. If the demon god gained a sliver of fortune, it was uncertain whether the ancestor could reclaim it.

Arriving in the Southern Continent, Yang Tian learned that Demon Mountain Ridge was a relic from the ancient demon-sealing formation. That place had been completely shattered, with bones piled like mountains.

But in that battle, the human race won a great victory, and the demons suffered countless deaths, hence the name Demon Mountain Ridge.

Too many strong beings had died there, resulting in extremely heavy malevolent energy. The entire Demon Mountain Ridge was filled with poisonous insects and fierce beasts; anyone who entered by mistake could not come out alive.

After several hours, they emerged from the void array. In the distance, the land was covered by primeval forests.

"This is the forest outside Demon Mountain Ridge. Normally, no one dares to enter." Hou Tianhe pointed at the primeval forest ahead and said.

Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded. His hand clenched, and after a moment's thought, he headed toward a large cultivation chamber not far away.

He directly requested the highest-grade cultivation chamber. Sitting cross-legged inside, after a surge of white mist, the demon woman's body slowly walked out.

"This... this..." Hou Tianhe was stunned. This technique of splitting the body was incredible.

"Wait for me here. I'll scout ahead. Even if the clone is destroyed, the main body will only suffer some injury." Yang Tian grinned and turned to leave.

"I'll go too..." Yuan Xia's body came over, very firmly. She didn't want to watch Yang Tian take risks alone.

"No." He shook his head. Even if his clone died, the other clone wouldn't be harmed, but it would require a large amount of heavenly treasures to recover.

Demon Mountain Ridge was the demon race's lair, but Yang Tian's clone was very mystical; even if killed, his life would not be in danger.
