Gate of Life
Second Baldy laughed loudly. Meanwhile, the expressions of the Heavenly Divine Mountain’s people all became ugly.
Only Yun Canghai remained calm. He smiled and said, “I am only saying that with my granddaughter’s talent and appearance, in the current wasteland region, only this brat is worthy of her. I do not have any other opinions.”
“Old man, are you still going to deny it? Don’t you want to repair that formation anymore? Does your clan not want to leave this realm?” Second Baldy sneered.
“They’re youngsters. If they are in love, I naturally won’t object. However, if my granddaughter is wronged, I won’t have it,” Yun Canghai said.
Second Baldy widened its eyes as if he recalled something from the past. He hatefully said, “You old fox. You’re just like your father. What did that old thing say back then? He told me if I was in love with Menglan, he wouldn’t interfere, yet in the end, he hunted me down! Just tell me, yes or no. Don’t play dumb.”
“Don’t you feel like you’ve gone too far?” Right at this time, a middle-aged man got up. He looked at the bird coldly, then at Shi Hao and the others.
“You’re Yun Canghai’s second son. Are you going to take action against me?” Second Baldy’s lips curled into a cold smile.
The middle-aged male was known as the second master here. “I don’t know where you got your confidence from. Even though your cultivation is crippled, you still dare to ascend to Heavenly Divine Mountain! Are you relying on a past relationship with Aunt Menglan? However, the great matter of my clan’s life and death is involved, and I believe my aunt won’t interfere.”
“Since the one who repaired the formation has arrived, as well as the one who stole our clan’s ancestral magical artifact, there is no need to waste time. Let them repair and activate the great formation,” said another elder. His hair was a faint golden color, and it was clear that not only did he have the bloodline of the Celestial Race, but he also had the bloodline of the Peng Race. He gave Yun Xi a look and said, “Not long ago, didn’t someone from the Golden-Winged Peng Race come to ask for marriage? I feel that we can consider it. After all, our two clans have always been close.”
The atmosphere became tense. The moment these two opened their mouths, they spoke with austere killing intent. The disputes and discussions from before were all tossed aside.
“We came with good intentions, seeking cooperation. Do you want to suppress all of us and get rid of us after using us?” Second Baldy asked.
“It is important to know one’s own limitations. You are already so old, and your cultivation has already been crippled, yet you still want to act like a hero. You came to Heavenly Divine Mountain like this. Do you think you can threaten us?” The middle-aged Second Master said coldly.
“Why do I feel like something isn’t quite right? Is someone threatening?” Shi Hao stood out and unhurriedly walked forward.
“Little friend, don’t misunderstand us. This is a long discussion. Some disagreement is unavoidable,” Yun Canghai said with a smile.
“Brother, is there a need for this?” The elder with light golden hair spoke indifferently. Then, he looked at Shi Hao indifferently, saying, “This is the Heavenly Divine Mountain, not the Void God Realm. There is no way you can act randomly with your temperament. There is nothing much to say. Return the armguard to my clan. When that evil peacock repairs the formation, we’ll use it.”
“Well, Yun Jinhai, do you really think you can defeat me? If I knew this was going to happen, I really should have slapped a mixed-blood monster like you to death back then.” Second Baldy sneered.
“What past? If not for my little sister, I would have killed you already,” Yun Jinhai said coldly.
“Jinhai, you’ve gone too far. There’s no need to do this. We’re all trying to leave this region and escape the great calamity. Don’t fight among ourselves,” Yun Canghai shook his head and said.
“I’m not making things up. I only wanted them to understand their current situation.” Jin Yunhai looked at Shi Hao and Second Baldy. “You all understand what should be done.”
“Father, I also feel like they don’t know their position. We still have to spur them on a bit, or they don’t know what a place Heavenly Divine Mountain is!” The middle-aged Second Master sneered.
“What is our position?” Shi Hao was fearless.
Second Master said coldly, “You act so impudently in Heavenly Divine Mountain. So what if you are a teenager supreme being? I can suppress you with a raise of my hand! Do you believe me?!”
“No!” Shi Hao shook his head.
“You’re so ignorant. You don’t believe me?” Jin Yunhai also said coldly, staring at Shi Hao and Second Baldy.
“Yes, I don’t believe you either.” Second Baldy sneered.
“Hmph!”
Jin Yunhai snorted. His voice was like a divine hammer as it smashed toward Shi Hao and Second Baldy. If it struck, Shi Hao and Second Baldy would cough out large amounts of blood and suffer serious injuries.
However, the two of them didn’t have much of a reaction.
“What?” Jin Yunhai was shocked. He reached out and tried to grab the two of them.
Second Baldy snorted, turning into an elder. Then, he raised his hand and slapped forward. With a boom, Jin Yunhai was forced back, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.
“What?” Everyone was shocked.
The expressions of the experts all changed. Didn’t this vicious peacock lose all of its cultivation ability? How could it suddenly take form, and then possess such powerful strength?
In the arena, only Second Baldy and Shi Hao understood that they had nothing to fear. It was because Willow Deity secretly followed them and was right at their side, so what was there to worry about?
“Yunhai, why aren’t you backing off yet?” Yun Canghai said. Even though he had tried to stop his brother, he didn’t know that the evil peacock could still fight. Now, he was naturally shaken.
“You’ve recovered your strength. Come again. There are just the two of you, yet you dare to behave atrociously in Heavenly Divine Mountain. I’ll suppress you all, force you to repair the formation, and hand over the armguard!” Jin Yunhai shouted. This was what he was thinking. He had wanted to do this for a long time. He had looked down on Second Baldy and the others.
Boom!
An expanse of symbols surged, incomparably brilliant. It was as if stars scattered down, making even the void become sparkling.
However, the elder Second Baldy turned into still didn’t move at all but only raised a hand. This time, Jin Yunhai was blasted flying and coughed out blood.
Everyone’s hearts went cold. How powerful!
“Grandfather…” Only now did Yun Xi speak. She informed him in secret that a divine expert might have arrived, telling him not to start a conflict.
Yun Canghai immediately sucked in a cold breath of air. A divine-level expert? This made him shiver inwardly. Why didn’t he sense anything at all? It was so terrifying.
At the same time, he gave his granddaughter a look and sighed inwardly. The girl had had her own plan and was purposely not telling her granduncle to make the latter suffer.
Yun Xi indeed didn’t like this granduncle because he was the one who agreed to marry her into the Golden-Winged Peng Race. He repeatedly expressed the need for this marriage, saying that the two clans would become closer and stronger.
Only, she never expected that her second uncle, the middle-aged man who was revered as Second Master on the mountain, would also be on Jin Yunhai’s side.
After Yun Canghai heard his granddaughter’s report, he remained silent for a long time. The matter became complicated. He didn’t plan to do anything to Second Baldy at all, and only Yun Jinhai was stirring up trouble, but right now, he felt like it was a bit troublesome.
“Father!” Second Master spoke.
“Leave us,” Yun Canghai said, starting to dislike him a bit because he actually sided with Yun Jinhai.
“Brother, what is the meaning of this? Heavenly Divine Mountain isn’t weaker than others. iIs there a need to compromise like this? Just suppress them and force them to do it!” Jin Yunhai said coldly. He was injured by an outsider on the Heavenly Divine Mountain, and he wanted to kill someone.
“The world is about to become chaotic. We just want to escape, so why are we fighting among ourselves now? It’s not like you don’t know our little sister. She’s never forgotten about this peacock,” Yun Canghai sighed. He didn’t deal with Second Baldy because of his younger sister Menglan.
“Let’s go and take a look at that formation first,” Yun Canghai said.
The people of the Heavenly Divine Mountain all nodded. Now that the great calamity was about to arrive, everything else was secondary. They could only leave as soon as possible. This was the foundation, and none of them wished to waste too much time.
When Jin Yunhai saw this, he snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.
At the back of the mountain in an extremely hidden stone forest was a formation that had existed for an extremely long time. The ancient formation was about to be obliterated.
Second Baldy looked at it and silently thought for a long time. After comparing it to the damaged formation diagram he obtained in his early years, he continuously nodded and said, “This formation is indeed damaged. However, the portion recorded in the formation diagram can be used to make up for it.”
When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed. There was no better news than this.
However, to repair this type of formation, the materials needed were definitely of the highest level, and all of them had to be divine materials. They were going to cross realms, and normal things simply wouldn’t be enough.
Second Baldy wrote down more than ten types of materials and handed them over to Yun Canghai. He immediately sucked in a cold breath of air. The consumption was too terrifying.
“There are some materials that even Heavenly Divine Mountain’s treasury doesn’t have.”
The treasury had been accumulated for countless years, yet some divine materials were still missing. It was difficult to find them in this world, which gave them a huge headache.
“There’s no other way. We have to borrow it and join forces with the other divine mountains to obtain the divine materials. Otherwise, we won’t have a chance.” Yun Canghai made this decision.
“I’ve already told you all the materials you need. Hurry up and collect them. However, if you want me to restore the formation, the term is the same as before. You all owe me a favor, so I want to bring your clan’s girl away and marry her to this brat.” Second Baldy began to act cockily again.
“I’m still going to say the same thing. As long as Yun Xi likes it, I’ll agree.” Yun Canghai chuckled.
“Grandpa!” Yun Xi immediately blushed. Her uncles all stared at her, making her feel ashamed and resentful. At the same time, she wanted to give Shi Hao a good beating.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. In the end, it’s up to you to decide. No one will interfere,” Yun Canghai said with a smile.
Huo Ling’er’s eyes lit up. She looked at Yun Xi and said, “It doesn’t matter. When the time comes, I’ll help you eliminate the threat of this strange hairless bird.”
A strange look appeared in Yun Xi’s eyes. She turned around and looked at her. She smiled and didn’t say anything.
At this time, Shi Hao’s mind had long wandered outside the great void. He didn’t pay attention to the people here at all. Instead, he stared at that hazy figure that others couldn’t see. It was worshiped by the deities within the fiery light as if three thousand worlds appeared together.
Willow Deity appeared, but apart from Shi Hao, no one else saw it.
“I see. He was the one who left behind this gate. I believe he’s still alive, perhaps even in the lower realm,” Willow Deity murmured.
Only Shi Hao heard those words, and he was shocked.
Willow Deity said softly, “Well, the great calamity this time is going to be interesting. It’ll be different from the others. There are some people who think that they are in control of everything, but I believe that they might fall. It’ll be a special great calamity!”
