"I didn’t expect this grand array to have such a concealing effect."

Qin Ming saw Qi Xiaoyu manipulate the array disc, and unexpectedly concealed their traces so thoroughly that even a Divinity Transformation stage cultivator couldn’t detect anything abnormal.

"That’s only natural. This Elemental Five Elements Demon Suppression Array is a composite array. As long as you are within the array’s range, you can relocate at will and use the concealment function. However, it consumes Profound Crystals tremendously, so it’s best used sparingly," Qi Xiaoyu explained.

"And according to my speculation, the main formation of this array is most likely where the Ancient Demon is sealed."

As the two communicated secretly, they suddenly saw a white escape light swiftly approaching, landing with a thud at the foot of the mountain in utter disarray.

When this person revealed a disheveled appearance, Qin Ming was taken aback: "Cloud-Fishing Elder?"

Yet this person’s mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation had already ascended to the Divinity Transformation stage, so much so that even Qin Ming couldn’t discern the depth of his cultivation.

Clearly, Cloud-Fishing Elder had intentionally hidden his true cultivation realm before.

Now, Cloud-Fishing Elder was wounded all over, as if he was being chased terribly.

"Brother Qin, do you perhaps know this senior?" Qi Xiaoyu also appeared astonished because a Divinity Transformation Venerable was already at the pinnacle of the Human Realm; few could reach such heights.

They hadn’t expected to encounter one just after entering Primordial Extreme Mountain.

Qin Ming’s gaze flickered a few times, his expression somewhat complicated as he said, "Indeed, this Cloud-Fishing Elder has some connections with me, but I had no idea he was a Divinity Transformation senior..."

"Looking at this senior’s appearance, it seems like he’s being chased," Qi Xiaoyu said apprehensively, "Even a Divinity Transformation stage can’t contend with it, what sort of existence could it be?"

It was evident that the notoriety of the Primordial Extreme Mountain was still on the rise.

Cloud-Fishing Elder, who was not far off, cast a Cleaning Technique on himself, brushing off the dust from his body and waving his sleeve cloak with a bitter expression: "It’s over, it’s completely over."

"Why did this ancient array suddenly get repaired? Even the only void passage has been completely sealed, and an ancient demon has broken free, I’m too unlucky, alas!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly showed nervousness, and without saying a word, he hurried into the mountains of Luotian Daoist Palace, disappearing without a trace.

Shortly after Cloud-Fishing Elder left.

The nearby Spiritual Qi began to shake violently, ripples spread through the air, and a blood-colored door suddenly opened. From it walked out a giant, burly man with two pairs of bone wings on his back, surging with Demonic Qi all over, and skin like rock.

Just a glance from afar made Qin Ming’s scalp tingle. Judging by the demon pattern on his body, vastly different from the Blood Realm’s demon dao, it was undoubtedly an ancient demon from the Ancient Demon Realm.

"Strange, I distinctly remember two ants were nearby, how did they suddenly disappear?"

"Could it be like that Human Race Divinity Transformation stage, they entered Luotian Daoist Palace?"

The demon-patterned man looked up towards the mountain top with hollow eyes but dared not continue forward.

Seemingly somewhat fearful of the large stone stele at the foot of the mountain.

"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, once I completely lift the Star Chain’s constraints, I’ll come up the mountain to take your life."

"First, find a few Human Race Nascent Souls to restore some strength."

On his demon body’s limbs, there were faintly four silver chains that seemed to have been forcibly broken, yet half remained on his wrists and ankles.

He then glanced at the mountain top palace, turned around, and stepped into the void passageway’s door.

The blood-colored door swiftly vanished and closed as if it had never appeared.

Only after a long while.

Qin Ming and Qi Xiaoyu, seeing no further anomalies, dared to cautiously come out.

"Brother Qin, it seems that demon creature just now was an ancient demon sealed within Primordial Extreme Mountain? How did it escape?" Qi Xiaoyu asked with lingering fear.

Looking towards the void, Qin Ming said indifferently, "It seems there’s not just one ancient demon sealed here, most likely the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch and others have already succeeded and released the ancient demon."

"The three Daoist Palaces of Primordial Extreme Mountain are Luotian Daoist Palace, Fangtian Daoist Palace, and Litian Celestial Daoist Palace. Although countless ancient demons have fallen among them, there will be some that slipped through the net." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"However, within Luotian Daoist Palace, there must be something that ancient demons dread greatly, presumably related to the array’s seal, let us go and see."

"Brother Qin speaks correctly."

Qi Xiaoyu said, and without further thought, hurriedly followed Qin Ming, flying towards the mountain top.

...

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

In the Litian Celestial Daoist Palace, one of the three Daoist Palaces of Primordial Extreme Mountain.

True Monarch Canghe from Star Palace, True Monarch Miaoling from Penglai Sect, along with True Monarch Dragon Wood, and Master Ice Profound from Ice God Hall surrounded, each deploying divine techniques desperately attempting to breach the massive stone gate of a palace.

On the plaque above the hall, engraved with vicissitudes, were the three ancient large seal characters "Litian Celestial Hall."

Yet after working together to bombard it for half a day, the massive stone gate before them didn’t budge an inch, even the great divine techniques cast by late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like True Monarch Canghe and True Monarch Miaoling didn’t leave a single mark on the stone gate.

"It seems that with our means, we are utterly incapable of forcing our way through this stone gate," frowned True Monarch Miaoling, withdrawing his divine technique, "If we alarm the other demon doctrines here, it would be unfavorable; we can only find some method to break the forbidden."

Deep in thought, Master Ice Profound of the Northern Cold Cultivation Realm fixed his gaze on the palace, revealing an extremely unwilling expression: "It’s rumored that the master of this Litian Celestial Daoist Palace is Venerable Litian, ranked as the second among the Primordial Extreme Three Saints, with cultivation reaching Divinity Transformation Perfection, not to mention holding several world-shaking treasures. His legacy must be within this grand hall."
