Chapter 1605: Chapter 1604: Mist Cloud, The Elder
Underneath the crimson sunset cloud, Qin Feng and Unrivaled finally arrived at the "Mist Cloud Mountain" in the Kunlun Mountain Domain!
The name Kunlun Mist Cloud originates from the legendary Mist Cloud Mountain.
The Kunlun Mountain Domain is exceedingly complex, be it climate, terrain, and so on.
In many places, the magnetic fields are chaotic; today, there might be a storm, and by night, it could snow heavily.
There are also many mountains that are incredibly mystical, such as Cang Mountain where the Rose Fairy resides, home to the Land of Heavenly Fortune.
Mist Cloud Mountain is also a very special mountain within the Kunlun Mountain Domain.
From a distance.
The entire mountain is shrouded in a layer of auspicious clouds, obscuring the view of what lies inside the mountain.
That layer of mist is quite peculiar too, resembling the boundary clouds of the Sumeru Space; it cannot be opened nor entered, hence the name "Mist Cloud".
Under the sunlight of the setting sun.
The "Mist Cloud" of Mist Cloud Mountain appears fiery red, looking from afar like a brilliant red maple tree in autumn, dreamlike and surreal.
The two stood at the base of Mist Cloud Mountain, reaching out to touch the sunset-tinted mist.
Indeed, it was solid.
Qin Feng tried to disperse it internally, but it was in vain; these mist clouds were extremely sturdy.
"How should we get in?"
Unrivaled asked from the side.
Qin Feng shook his head; he didn’t know either. He had only heard that the seven Energy Barytes found in the Heavenly Map Fragment could open Kunlun Mist Cloud, but he had no idea how to actually unfold it.
This was worrying.
Just then, a burst of ancient laughter emanated from within the thick mist cloud: "Hahaha... Finally, I’ve been waiting for this, hahaha..."
"Senior, may I ask if you were waiting for me?" Qin Feng asked, holding up the seven Energy Barytes.
"Indeed, hahaha, I have been waiting for the one who can open Kunlun Mist Cloud. That fellow wasn’t lying. Ultimately, someone would come, hahaha..." the aged voice laughed heartily again before regaining composure and continued, "Can’t remember how long it’s been; someone once asked me to open a door to enter, and in return, he swore to help me find the person who could open the gate of Kunlun Mist Cloud. He kept his promise..."
"Who was that person?"
Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel curious.
Presumably, the Heavenly Map Fragment was drawn by that individual to create disputes, prompting people to find the Energy Barytes.
But if he knew how to open Kunlun Mist Cloud, why wouldn’t he do it himself?
It’s still a question.
"I forgot, that person seemed to be called ’Beidou’, like a doctor." The aged voice remarked.
"What?!!"
Qin Feng was astonished in his heart.
He couldn’t believe it was that old fellow!!
At that moment.
He recalled the days he spent living with the Beidou old man in Dragon and Tiger Village.
That old guy always mistreated him, making him cook or do laundry, never tidied the house, even framed him for peeping on Old Ni from the nunnery, and incited him to steal wines from the retired old monk...
An upheaval years ago brought unrest to Dragon and Tiger Village.
The activation of the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, and his initial awakening of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, had drawn too many people to Dragon and Tiger Village.
Since then, Beidou Old Divine Doctor parted ways with him.
There were rumors that Beidou Old Divine Doctor traveled all across, some claimed to have seen him on Tianshan, while others said overseas, no one accurately knew where he went.
And Qin Feng chose to become a son-in-law in the Xu family at Lake City.
Years went by in a blink.
Thinking about that old man now, Qin Feng felt mixed emotions in his heart.
If not for him.
His life would have long been over.
He was the one who spent a hefty price researching medical skills, Yin Yang Five Elements, various cultivation techniques for him.
Everything he has now, he owes it all to him.
"Is he inside then?"
Qin Feng’s voice was slightly choked.
If he could find him inside, that would be best.
Now that the Dragon Emperor Bloodline is no longer a secret, he doesn’t need to "hide anymore."
He might even praise him for growing so much.
His personal growth is worthy of the old man’s efforts.
"No."
The aged voice replied.
"Huh??"
Qin Feng’s wave of sentiment instantly vanished, asking, "Wasn’t it him who asked you to open a door to Kunlun Mist Cloud? How is it that he didn’t go in?"
"He let a woman in."
The old man said.
"A woman?"
Qin Feng questioned momentarily, pondering while rubbing his chin, "Is that woman very attractive? Named ’Golden Phoenix’?"
"I don’t know the name, but she’s indeed attractive..."
The old man spoke with a hint of nostalgia in his voice.
"Then no doubt about it."
Qin Feng frowned slightly, saying, "The one who entered is ’Golden Phoenix’."
"Who’s Golden Phoenix?"
Unrivaled asked from the side.
"My senior sister."
Qin Feng replied.
Beidou Old Divine Doctor didn’t have just him as the only apprentice.
Before taking him in, there was another female apprentice named "Golden Phoenix."
She also grew up alongside Qin Feng.
Similarly, years ago, she and Qin Feng parted ways and they lost contact thereafter.
It turns out she entered inside!
"That damned old man actually let senior sister into Kunlun Mist Cloud, while he stayed out." Qin Feng’s previous sentiments towards Beidou Old Divine Doctor were now entirely swept away.
"Hey, kid."
The old man addressed him at this moment, "Please quickly open the gate of Kunlun Mist Cloud! Let more people come in and join the ’Demon Suppression Hall’, only in this way, the world can be saved, go call more people!"
"Oh? What’s this about? What’s this Demon Suppression Hall?" Qin Feng was puzzled.
"It’s like this..."
The old man started explaining, "The so-called Kunlun Mist Cloud is merely a small world left behind by history..."
A catastrophe over ten thousand years ago left the world desolate.
Countless immortals and demons fell.
Yet.
There was a place, now known as Kunlun Mist Cloud, possessing a treasure called "Dragon Root", which allowed people of that area to avoid the catastrophe.
But the power of the "Dragon Root" was still too weak, unable to protect many.
They all passed away.
What was left were just their residual souls.
Including the old man speaking.
"So... it’s filled with residual souls from ancient times inside? That is to say... ghosts?!"
Qin Feng exclaimed.
Unrivaled instinctively grabbed Qin Feng’s arm, feeling a bit eerie.
"Isn’t it quite normal."
The old man pouted, saying, "What did you think to those ancient immortals and demons are, they’re not so easily slain; many leave behind a residual soul just before death, hoping to find a chance for resurrection later, of course, if there’s no way to sustain themselves, they’d perish as well."
Hearing this, Qin Feng thought of Demon Tyrant, and Evil Spirit King among the Heaven and Earth Nine Demons.
These two survived to this day with only a strand of residual soul.
Including his left arm Qilin, which relied on Floating Light Stone, the residual soul persisted to Fairy, and even his own White-clothed Fairy in the Sumeru World, was also just a strand of residual soul, which only endured by attaching itself to a Buddha Beads...
