Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 472 Thousand Marks Sword Eye
Deep in the desert, the earth trembled, and an ancient battlefield that had been silent for countless years suddenly appeared. In an instant, strange phenomena appeared, especially the extremely sharp golden energy that shot straight into the stars. Although it subsided quickly, it still attracted the attention of many people.

"Has a treasure appeared in the world? Judging from its appearance, it must be at least a Purple Mansion level spiritual object."

"Could it be a rare treasure? If so, that would be an incredible stroke of luck."

"That location seems to be the former Golden Spirit Mountain. Legend has it that a golden spirit once fell there, and it is rich in various metal spirit ores, including even third-tier treasure ores."

As the golden aura soared into the sky, all living beings speculated about the origin of the strange phenomenon, with some ancient people even associating it with Jinling Mountain.

In the past, Jinling Mountain in the Western Regions was a treasure land, rich in various metal minerals, including several kinds of third-order precious minerals, among which was the extremely special precious mineral, Great Evolution True Gold. It should be noted that although Great Evolution True Gold is only a third-order precious mineral and does not reach the fourth-order level, its nature is special. It can greatly reduce the difficulty for cultivators to refine their natal magic weapon, allowing cultivators to reach the state of unity between man and weapon, so its value is extremely high.

This is especially true for cultivators who value magical artifacts, such as sword cultivators. During the era when the Lei Peng clan ruled the Western Regions, many powerful sword cultivators would cross continents to come to Yu Huan Continent in order to find the Great Evolution True Gold.

However, precisely because of this, during the great war five hundred years ago, Jinling Mountain became a key battleground for both the human and demon races. The final result was that Jinling Mountain collapsed, and the surrounding area sank, seemingly falling into a void fault.

In the years that followed, some people tried to search for the remains of Jinling Mountain, hoping to find some treasures, but they all failed. There were remains and some treasures, but their value was not as high as they had imagined.

Under such circumstances, everyone had to believe that the true essence of Jinling Mountain had been destroyed in that battle, and the reappearance of the strange phenomenon today had stirred up new thoughts in the minds of some people.

"Let's go take a look..."

As the thought crossed their minds, many creatures headed towards the place where the strange phenomenon had occurred.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the desert, in a high-hanging celestial city, Xin Yi quietly opened her eyes.

Golden light shimmered in her eyes as she gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

"Is it really Jinling Mountain? Judging from this sharp golden aura, if it really is Jinling Mountain, it would probably be the most central location back then. If it is there, perhaps there really is Great Evolution True Gold."

As her thoughts raced, Xin Yi pondered many things at that moment.

She cultivated the Nine Revolutions Ascension to Sainthood Technique and mastered the true form of the Ten Thousand-Legged Sword Centipede. To advance further, she needed to cultivate her own Golden Centipede Sword into a sword pellet to serve as the inner core of the sword centipede. To refine the sword into a pellet, various precious ores were indispensable, with Great Evolution True Gold being the most superior type.

"If there's even a possibility, it's worth going to see."

With a flash of insight, Xin Yi made a decision. One of the most important reasons why she had been carrying out the mission of exploring the Western Regions all these years was to find the Great Evolution True Gold.

This kind of precious mineral is extremely rare. The only known place in the entire Yu Huan Continent where it was first found is the former Jinling Mountain. However, despite her efforts over the years, she has never been able to find the existence of the Great Evolution True Gold.

With a whoosh, her true form manifested, transforming into a ten-thousand-legged golden centipede. Without delay, Xinyi tore through the void.

Thus, not long after, Xinyi arrived at the place where the strange phenomenon had appeared.

“It really is Jinling Mountain.”

Her true form stood in the void, looking at the mountain that seemed to have been cut in half, shaped like a broken sword, and surrounded by golden energy. A strange light flashed in Xin Yi's eyes. The Golden Spirit Mountain had a special nature, and this could not be faked.

"It seems that my hard work over the years is finally going to pay off. However, the void around Golden Spirit Mountain is chaotic, and it won't be easy to get in." With keen insight, Xin Yi was eager but didn't lose her composure. She needed to stay calm, especially at this critical moment.

At this moment, Jinling Mountain had just fallen from the void, and the surrounding void energy was extremely chaotic. In addition, there were some restrictions and special powers left over from the previous battle, so Jinling Mountain was definitely a dangerous place. Even if she was a Purple Mansion, she would probably suffer a great loss if she rushed in recklessly.

"Thousand-Trace Sword Eyes".

Sword marks appeared in her eyes as Xin Yi unleashed her divine powers, attempting to probe the true nature of Golden Spirit Mountain.

After a short while, and after some probing, a relatively safe route into the mountains appeared before her eyes.

"There is still some danger, but with the means I have, I can ensure my own life."

"The appearance of Jinling Mountain will likely attract many prying eyes. The longer it drags on, the more troublesome things will become."

With a sudden thought, without hesitation, Xin Yi, maintaining her true form, entered the territory of Jinling Mountain.

In that instant, as if stimulated by something, the void near Jinling Mountain changed further, stirring up waves. However, with her pupil technique, Xinyi was always able to avoid danger. If she couldn't avoid it, she could rely on her own formidable strength to break through directly.

And so, not long after, Xin Yi's figure disappeared into the void. Although the Golden Spirit Mountain seemed so close, reaching it was not so easy.

After Xin Yi's figure disappeared, some time passed, and another group of people arrived at the place. Among them were demons, ghosts, and human cultivators.

Because of the Wuchang Sect's policy of expanding into the Western Regions, many rogue cultivators have gone to the Western Regions to make a living in recent years. Among them are some formidable figures. After all, in order to expand into the Western Regions, the Wuchang Sect has indeed released a lot of precious resources. Those immortal cities are actually supply points.

“It really is Jinling Mountain.”

As they watched the changes in the void, and finally see the Golden Spirit Mountain truly become reality, everyone's eyes burned with fervor.

They exchanged a glance and tacitly chose to approach Jinling Mountain from different directions. However, the moment they actually got close to Jinling Mountain, sword marks appeared in the void, instantly stirring up a terrifying storm of sword energy that swept around the surrounding area.

"Ah, this is the power of the Purple Mansion level."

Realizing something was wrong, everyone was terrified, and the joy of discovering the ruins vanished. But by then it was too late. As the storm of sword energy swept through, people, ghosts, and demons alike perished on the spot, leaving only pieces of corpses and remains.

Sensing this change, Xin Yi, who had truly entered Jinling Mountain, let out a cold laugh. The sword mark was deliberately left by her to deter those who came later.

"I'm determined to have the Great Evolution True Gold."

Looking up at the front, Master Xinyi swung his sword and tore apart a restriction.

And as she predicted, with the first group of people dying tragically, those who came later inevitably hesitated when they saw the scene. Many chose to give up, for the treasure was good, but their lives were more important.
