<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Black Mountain within this barrier should be Death Mountain, right? I never expected it to be sealed by these Netherghost Emperors.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">No wonder we couldn't detect even a trace of its aura despite traveling for so long,"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen remarked with a hint of awe.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Shuang Jiang took a couple of steps closer to him and spoke in a serious tone,
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Stay within three steps of me at all times. If anything happens, I won't be able to save you if you're too far away."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her words were stern, and Su Jingzhen was taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In matters of this level, he knew better than to act recklessly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even with the existence of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the ability to borrow Little Green's power, his peak combat strength at this moment was likely only at the level of an Immortal King.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Forcing himself into an Immortal Emperor-level event could easily lead to his utter annihilation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The only reason he dared to come here so boldly was his complete trust in Shuang Jiang.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoists, as you can see, the Black Mountain before you is the legendary Death Mountain. The problem lies here.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Over a month ago, eight Netherghost Emperors joined forces to seal it off completely. So, as I mentioned earlier, without my guidance, you wouldn't even be able to find Death Mountain," the Netherghost Emperor explained to Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There was no hint of arrogance in his words, only a matter-of-fact explanation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang nodded slightly, but said nothing further.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that moment, the Netherghost Emperor and Chi Yuan unleashed their full power, their auras reaching their peak.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Together, they formed a skull-shaped ghost seal and pushed it towards the barrier.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The skull-shaped seal attached itself to the barrier and opened its massive mouth, creating a passageway connecting the inside and outside of the barrier.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Shuang Jiang, we cannot simply remove this barrier. Please follow me inside," the Netherghost Emperor said, his expression turning grave.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as the passage opened, a series of eerie and powerful auras began to seep through.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sensing this, Su Jingzhen's heart tightened.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The moment the passageway connected, he clearly felt the aura emanating from within - it was unmistakably the aura of the Starry Sky Demons!
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It's those things," he said to Shuang Jiang in a low voice.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang's expression turned serious as well.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">During her journey as a sword cultivator, she had directly confronted the Starry Sky Demons and knew just how formidable they were.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She couldn't afford to be careless.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without saying a word, she condensed her aura and a surge of icy energy enveloped Su Jingzhen, forming a protective barrier around him.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She was well aware of Su Jingzhen's unique situation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once they entered the territory where the Starry Sky Demons were active, he could easily fall victim to their schemes.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even keeping him within three steps of her wasn't entirely reassuring.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without further hesitation, they followed Chi Yuan and the Netherghost Emperor into the barrier.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The moment they entered, the skull-shaped seal dissipated and the barrier closed behind them. Death Mountain now stood before Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang, fully revealed.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The mountain was colossal, towering tens of thousands of feet into the air, and surprisingly, it was covered in dense vegetation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the entire mountain was shrouded in darkness, with a layer of mist swirling around it, giving it an air of profound mystery.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If not for the barrier, the sheer presence of Death Mountain in the Nethersea would have struck Su Jingzhen as bizarre. It was just too out of place.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the same time, Su Jingzhen noticed that the aura of the Starry Sky Demons he had sensed earlier was emanating entirely from Death Mountain. His expression became even more solemn.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He suddenly recalled the scenes the Sword Master had shown him in the Sword Qi Corridor.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Could this place be another major battlefield from the war when the Starry Sky Demons invaded? Is Death Mountain the sealed gateway connecting the Starry Sky Demons to the Immortal Realm?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The more he thought about it, the more cautious he became.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His consciousness immediately shifted to the space where Yuan Shi and the Ming Long were.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both of them had recently been granted new bodies by Su Jingzhen and were busy absorbing the energy of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to recover.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When they saw Su Jingzhen appear, they immediately stopped what they were doing and stood up.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Do you know about Death Mountain in the Nethersea of the Immortal Realm?" Su Jingzhen asked without any preamble.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, both Yuan Shi and the Ming Long frowned, deep in thought.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a moment, the Ming Long nodded.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Death Mountain in the Nethersea is quite famous in the Emperor's Realm. Could it be that you are currently in the Nethersea, Lord Su?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he asked, his expression grew serious. He continued, "What you really want to know is about the Starry Sky Demons in Nethersea, right? Indeed, that place was once a battlefield, and a decisive one at that.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After I awakened, I tried to enter Nethersea several times, but the environment there is too complex and the ghost cultivators are numerous.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With my strength at that time, I couldn't roam freely there, so I never managed to find Death Mountain."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's expression became even more serious.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Why did you want to go to Death Mountain? Is there anything special there?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Ming Long nodded again.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Death Mountain is extremely unique indeed. Since you're already in the Nethersea, you must have seen the endless Nether Souls there.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In truth, most of those Nether Souls are the remnants of the souls and grudges of the cultivators from both realms who died in the war when the Starry Sky Demons invaded.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And on the battlefield of Death Mountain, a demon king was sealed there. Back then, I wanted to find him and awaken him."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A Demon King!
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's heart trembled. He had heard from Yuan Shi and the Ming Long that above the Demon Generals in the hierarchy of the Starry Sky Demons were the Ten Demon Kings and the Supreme Demon God.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He never expected that one of these Demon Kings was sealed on Death Mountain.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Alright, I understand. I'll come back to you if I need more information," Su Jingzhen said before leaving the space.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He immediately relayed the information to Shuang Jiang.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Based on what the Netherghost Emperor and Chi Yuan had said earlier, he had reason to suspect that the anomalies in the Nethersea were related to the sealed Demon King.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In his mind, the likelihood of this being true was over 90%.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After receiving this information, Shuang Jiang's eyebrows furrowed even deeper. "How did you get this information?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I've already told you, I destroyed two demon generals. They didn't truly perish; I've just imprisoned them in a special place."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang's frown deepened.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"A special place? Don't tell me that you've imprisoned them inside your body. When it comes to the Starry Sky Demons, you must not play with fire."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although Shuang Jiang's words were a warning, they also carried a deep sense of concern. The rightful source is novel⟡fire.net
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the two of them were speaking, six streaks of light suddenly shot toward them from the distance.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The next moment, the lights transformed into six ghost cultivators dressed in black robes.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Like the Netherghost Emperor and Chi Yuan, their ghostly forms were almost indistinguishable from physical bodies. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, their auras were all at the Immortal Emperor level, with the strongest among them reaching the Sixth Stage of the Immortal Emperor realm!
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The moment they appeared, their auras locked onto Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang.
