Chapter 1982 - 1980: Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, Black and White Impermanence

[Request for rewards!!!]Ye Tianchen frowned, truly astonished in his heart. He had never been so surprised or felt such difficulty, only because a real Corpse Mountain Blood Sea had appeared in front of him!

The Martial Arts World, brutal and bloody, is its essence. Severed limbs and bloodstains can be seen everywhere, and at every moment living beings are dying in battles. But how many people have truly seen a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea? Ye Tianchen and the Little Demon Bat Beast have!

After Ye Tianchen defeated the Demon Ape, he believed that once he flew over this corpse mountain, he could reach the true territory of Medicine King Valley. However, just as he flew over this corpse mountain, he stopped, stunned in amazement!

In front of him appeared a real scene of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea. Nine corpse mountains stood around, encircling a blood sea. The corpse mountains were naturally made up of heaps of various creatures’ bones. The blood sea was no exaggeration, truly an ocean-like realm formed by blood, with the nine corpse mountains continuously seeping blood, all pouring into the blood sea. That scene was too shocking, too chilling!

It’s imaginable that even a bowl of blood can make one feel creepy. What more of an ocean made of blood? That bloody atmosphere, that eerie scene, would be enough for anyone to collapse. No one could remain calm in such a scene!

"Let’s go down and take a look," Ye Tianchen regained his composure and said calmly.

"What? Go down and take a look? Th-this... won’t it?" The Little Demon Bat Beast was drenched in cold sweat, face pale, truly a bit terrified, not daring to approach the blood sea!

"If we don’t go down and take a look, how can we get past this blood sea? The surrounding aura is too bizarre, we must be cautious!" Ye Tianchen spoke.

Although the Little Demon Bat Beast was extremely unwilling, it dared not stay here alone. Who knew if there were other creatures in the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea? Such a place was filled with terror and bizarre auras; no one dared linger a moment longer than necessary—either leave quickly or retreat immediately!

Taking the Little Demon Bat Beast with him, Ye Tianchen still flew down the Corpse Mountain, landing around the blood sea. As he descended, he suddenly frowned, looking around involuntarily. It was an intangible pressure, as if nine eerie beings were watching him. Ye Tianchen was shocked. Was it the invisible power of the nine Corpse Mountains?

At the foot of the nine corpse mountains, the edge was an open area, and surrounding them was the blood sea. Nine gaps—whenever blood flowed down from the corpse mountains, it would enter this blood sea.

"Who is so twisted to set up such a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea? Damn it, isn’t it creepy enough?" The Little Demon Bat Beast couldn’t help but swear.

"These nine corpse mountains and the blood sea seem to have been here for at least tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have formed such a scale. It must have been left by a strong person, but why leave such a barrier to block it? Is it because there is something astonishing deep in Medicine King Valley? A true Eternal Life Elixir?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but say.

"There shouldn’t be such a possibility. If there really is an Eternal Life Elixir, not just here, even if an Emperor Realm supremo were stationed, powerful creatures would recklessly attack. It is something any living being would desire!" The Little Demon Bat Beast shook its head and said.

Who exactly set up such a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea halfway through Medicine King Valley? This puzzled Ye Tianchen greatly. This was obviously a means to block someone from passing through here to reach the depths of Medicine King Valley. Why do such a thing? Is there really something astonishing inside Medicine King Valley?

"Hmm, we must think about how to frown and get through this blood sea now!" Ye Tianchen said after glancing around.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Ye Tianchen directly took the Little Demon Bat Beast and shot towards the high sky of the blood sea, intending to directly use Qi Manipulation Flight to cross it.

Bang!

To his surprise, a rune manifested in mid-air, and Ye Tianchen and the Little Demon Bat Beast were instantly bounced back. If it weren’t for Ye Tianchen’s quick reflexes, they would have heavily crashed to the ground.

"Brother, if you think you can bypass this blood sea like that, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Exactly, if it were possible to fly over this blood sea from above, how could it have stopped so many people?"

Suddenly, two voices rang out, startling Ye Tianchen. He couldn’t help but look around and found two people behind him, two whom he recognized; they had fought together and drank together. However, these two people filled Ye Tianchen with doubts, especially after parting ways in Penglai’s original restricted zone in the Ancient Martial World, he hadn’t seen them again!

Black and White Impermanence!

Ye Tianchen truly hadn’t expected to encounter Black and White Impermanence in this Corpse Mountain Blood Sea under such circumstances. Ye Tianchen remembered the first time he met the Black and White Impermanence brothers; they were trapped during a battle within the Wang family’s domain, yet despite their not-so-high cultivation realm, they managed to escape. The second time he saw Black and White Impermanence was in the original restricted zone when Ye Tianchen killed the Young Master of Hundred Beast Mountain and cooked him to eat. No one else dared to eat him except Ye Tianchen, that was when Black and White Impermanence appeared and surprisingly requested that Ye Tianchen invite them to eat the Young Master’s meat, which was truly astonishing!

However, that was when Ye Tianchen truly sensed something strange about the Black and White Impermanence brothers; the surprising thing was Little Zhu Yan, the troublemaker, told him that the Black and White Impermanence brothers weren’t human...

Ye Tianchen was puzzled. These two brothers were clearly living human beings, so why did Little Zhu Yan say they weren’t human? Afterwards, Little Zhu Yan narrated tales from the Ancient Times, even tracing back to the Mythical Era, which indeed shocked Ye Tianchen. According to the tales, since the Mythical Era, numerous powerful beings sought eternal life and immortality, yet there were no recorded instances of someone becoming immortal. Therefore, to preserve a sliver of hope, they adopted an alternative approach. Great Divine Ability Users would leave their physical bodies when their lifespan dried up, and in places filled with unique essences, these bodies would gradually develop spiritual wisdom once more. Of course, the newly intelligent body was not their true self but another person. Still, people continued this process, leaving their bodies upon sitting into oblivion, engraving pre-life memories into them, so when a new spiritual wisdom emerged, it might find memories of their past life imprinted in the body. Nevertheless, success was rare, as fostering spiritual wisdom anew was a monumental challenge, and even when achieved, it was always another person now; who would want to seek the memory of a past life, only to become someone else once more?

"Are the Black and White Impermanence brothers really pursuing eternal life through such an unconventional method? Does this mean they were Great Divine Ability Users in the Ancient Times or even the Mythical Era? What kind of existence could they be?" Ye Tianchen wondered in amazement.

"Brother Ye, what are you pondering? Last time you treated us brothers to leopard head meat, we haven’t managed to thank you yet!" Black Impermanence said with a smile.

"Indeed, that leopard meat was truly delicious, filled with Essence Qi. If we could eat more meat filled with such Essence Qi, it would undoubtedly be great!" Impermanence chuckled in agreement.

Ye Tianchen snapped back to reality and, smiling, replied, "Naturally, if such a good chance arises, I wouldn’t let it pass! Speaking of which, why are you here?"

Upon Ye Tianchen’s inquiry, the Black and White Impermanence brothers exchanged glances, and then Black said, "The reason you’re here is the same reason we are!"

"For the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass?" Ye Tianchen probed.

"Of course, the Medicine King Valley is rich in Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, but without passing through this Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, you can’t truly reach the Medicine King Valley. We’ve stayed here a long time, thinking of some methods but failed!" Impermanence shook his head.

"Seems like you know this place quite well!" Ye Tianchen smiled.

"Better than you at least!" Black nodded.

"Then tell me more!" Ye Tianchen urged.

The appearance of Black and White Impermanence surprised Ye Tianchen. Why were these two brothers here? Judging by their familiarity, they had visited this place numerous times. Were they searching for Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass in the Medicine King Valley, or something else entirely?

Following behind Black and White Impermanence, Ye Tianchen was led to the shore of the Blood Sea, where Black squatted down, dipped a hand into the blood, and handed some to Ye Tianchen saying, "Brother, touch this blood and see what you feel."

Ye Tianchen paused momentarily and then touched the blood from Black’s hand. Immediately, he felt a chaotic sensation, as if something invaded his body. Instantly, he trembled, scattering the force within him!

"This sensation... it’s very eerie!" Ye Tianchen frowned.

"An invisible force exists in this Blood Sea. Even with great courage, swimming through it would be impossible, as no one can withstand the strike of this invisible power!" Black spoke.

"Earlier you tried flying across from above and should have felt the powerful formation in the air. Forcing through would indeed result in falling into the Blood Sea; this won’t work either!" Impermanence added.

"Aren’t you basically saying nothing helpful? Really!" Little Demon Bat Beast interjected, deeply frustrated. (To be continued.
