Chapter 48 Fighting between Dragon and Tiger
The legend of Xishan has been circulating in Tiandu City for a long time. A small number of people say it exists, but most people think it is fictitious.

Among those who believe in the existence of the Western Hills, there are differing opinions. Some say that the Western Hills are related to an ancient, fully-fledged Holy Spirit, while others believe that the Western Hills are related to the Holy Spirit.

The Chen family in Tiandu City is a case in point. Their family legends all point to a connection with a holy spirit, and it was the birth of the holy spirit that caused bloodshed on earth.

Qi Zhe now believes that both are true, and speculates that the legend of Xishan was created by the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Holy Spirit together.

"That is the blood of the Holy Spirit"—Qi Zhe had the idea that it was the blood of the Holy Spirit simply because he was looking at the creature nailed to the mountaintop.

It seemed as if the Great Dao was lamenting for him, piercing through the mists of history in its illusion to tell future generations that a son of Heaven had fallen on the mountaintop.

"A fierce battle ensued, with the Holy Body slaying the Holy Spirit atop the Western Hills."

Based on the information he had received earlier, Qi Zhe knew that it must have been the Great Accomplished Holy Body that killed the Holy Spirit who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment on the mountaintop.

Perhaps it was this battle that turned millions of miles of mountains and rivers into dust, and all the human kingdoms near Tiandu City ceased to exist. The mountains of corpses needed a sage to collect them.

He didn't know if that holy body was one of the nine invincible beings, but someone with such strength must be one of those nine, perhaps having passed away more than two hundred thousand years ago.

"Perhaps the Void Emperor of yesteryear witnessed this battle in the long river of time," Qi Zhe sighed.

But this also puzzled Qi Zhe. He clearly saw a towering peak that was tens of thousands of feet high, and even the blood of the Holy Spirit had not caused it to collapse. But now there was not a trace of it outside the capital city. It was really too strange.

But in the next moment, Qi Zhe knew the answer. The illusory mountains and golden ocean before him were fading away, and a large halberd came crashing down towards the western mountain.

"die!!!"

As a loud roar echoed in Qi Zhe's ears, everything before his eyes vanished instantly, as if it could no longer bear the weight of history.

Qi Zhe's last sight was of the great halberd that came crashing down from the sky, instantly shattering the towering peak and destroying the heavens and earth.

"Pfft!" Qi Zhe was also in bad shape at this moment. This roar, even though it came from thousands of years ago, carried a powerful force that easily injured him, causing him to vomit blood.

If it weren't for the precious mirror left behind by a sage within his body that shielded him from most of the calamities, he would certainly not be in a good state right now.

"Damn it, it's that old scoundrel Shi Huang!" Qi Zhe summoned the treasure mirror, looking at the cracks that had appeared on it with immense heartache and indignation.

Even though he hadn't seen the halberd clearly just now, Qi Zhe only needed a little thought to determine that its owner was the Stone Emperor from the Undying Mountain.

Undying Mountain is one of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Eastern Wilderness. It is home to many ancient supreme beings, one of whom is the supreme emperor in the stone, known as the Stone Emperor. His imperial artifact is a halberd.

Furthermore, the Stone Emperor has a very deep grudge against the Holy Body lineage, and is also mortal enemies with the Void Emperor, the ancestor of the Ancient Ji family, simply because the Holy Body lineage and the Void Emperor repeatedly prevented him from launching the Dark Turmoil.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhe became suspicious, knowing that if the Stone Emperor were to fight this Great Accomplishment Saint Body, then this Saint Body was very likely the one from the Sacred Cliff.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?" Qi Zhe wiped the blood from his mouth and began to regulate his surging blood and qi in surprise and doubt.

Once upon a time, there was a Great Accomplished Saint whose power was comparable to creation itself. He repeatedly prevented the Supreme Being in the Undying Mountain from launching a dark upheaval, and even forcibly cut off dozens of divine mountains from the Undying Mountain to use as his place of seclusion.

These dozens of sacred mountains cut off from the Undying Mountain were collectively known as the Sacred Cliff. Unfortunately, in his later years, this Sacred Body encountered a great enemy who sought revenge. He was killed by an ancient supreme being who emerged from the Undying Mountain, and his blood stained the summit of the Sacred Cliff.

Qi Zhe is now speculating about the relationship between the two, and for a moment he is filled with doubt and uncertainty.

However, just as Qi Zhe was speculating, a roar startled him. Among the many cultivators fighting in the distance, Nangong Xin, his face covered in blood, roared angrily: "Ahhh! Though I die today, this precious medicine will never have two masters!"

"Hahaha!" Nangong Xin's expression seemed to be one of relief, his whole body overflowing with madness. He was seriously injured in a fierce battle, and only one cultivator remained by his side. However, even that person, with the cultivation of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, was not enough to carry him out of the encirclement. Both of them were trapped beasts.

Meanwhile, many cultivators surrounded the two, but because they each had their own ulterior motives, they dared not go all out, which is why the two have survived until now.

"It's a pity that the expert from the Nangong family is so late. The end is just around the corner." The cultivator from the Four Extremes who was traveling with Nangong Xing looked bewildered and sighed with a sense of desolation.

A moment later, he brushed aside the cultivators who attacked him, and as he turned his head, he glanced at Nangong Xin with a hidden glint of cold light in his dark eyes.

"Pfft." With the man's sudden movement, a tearing sound suddenly rang out, and Nangong Xin looked down at the hand that had pierced his abdomen, his expression freezing abruptly.

"Cough cough, you..." Nangong Xin was struck in the abdomen by someone next to him, his dantian shattered. He coughed up blood as he turned his head and began to struggle violently.

"Wow, they've actually turned against each other." Someone exclaimed in surprise from the darkness, realizing it was time to make a move.

But he was a step too late. Qi Zhe realized that he had to make a move, as such a good opportunity would not come again.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, an ancient stone door suddenly descended from the sky and crashed onto the ground, sending dust billowing up once more.

Then an invisible force field enveloped the heavens and earth, imprisoning most of the cultivators within a thousand feet radius, causing the crowd to gasp in surprise.

"What's going on? Where did this stone gate come from? Damn it, someone actually ambushed us!"

"What the hell is this thing? It can immobilize someone. Even a Dao Palace Perfection cultivator can't escape?"

"This...this is the Chaos Stone! Our sect's scriptures record that no one can escape its suppression!"

The changes in the wilderness were full of twists and turns, and Qi Zhe's appearance was also just in time. As soon as he appeared, a large number of cultivators were suppressed by the Chaos Stone Gate.

However, several cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm were still struggling, and the surging waves of divine power even caused the chaotic force field to shake.

"It seems our cultivation is still insufficient; we need to hurry!" Qi Zhe saw several cultivators of the Fourth Extreme level shaking their bodies and quickly took action.

The next moment, he was about to forcibly abduct Nangong Xin, prompting the man who had just launched the sneak attack to roar, "How dare you!!!"

He had just severely injured Nangong Xin in order to take the precious medicine and escape alone. Now, seeing his prey being taken away, he could only glare and roar in fury.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qi Zhe retorted, his body shimmering with golden light as he swung his staff, breaking the other's arm in one blow.

"Aaaaaah!!!" The cultivator who had lost an arm went mad as he watched Qi Zhe take Nangong Xin, whose arm was still stuck in his arm, and felt unbearable pain.

"Boom!!!" Following Qi Zhe's action, the cultivators who were not restrained in the distance also hurriedly made their moves, frantically swinging a palm forward.

But then something strange happened. The sound of surging waves began to echo between heaven and earth. It was as if a crack had appeared in the sky in front of Qi Zhe, and a golden ocean flashed in the void.

"What is this?" Qi Zhe retracted his stone gate, staring at the vast ocean in the void with a look of shock, realizing that it was a special space.

"Pfft, it's Xishan!" Nangong Xin, who was being held by Qi Zhe, coughed up blood, but he was still very excited as he looked ahead.

Even if he hadn't said anything, Qi Zhe would have realized what was happening. He picked up Nangong Xin with a strange expression and then jumped directly into the crevice.
