Chapter 1361
The Black Wind Stronghold was located in a long and narrow basin behind two towering mountain peaks that looked like they were about to close.
The enormous Black Wind Stronghold should actually be considered as a city, but this city was built entirely out of a type of black wind stone unique to the Black Wind Continent. Its entire body was pitch black, and the visual impact it suddenly gave people was enormous.
Legend has it that this city originated from a black stone castle. However, as time passed, this castle became more and more lively. After repeated expansion, it had becomuge city that occupied almost half of the entire narrow basin.
The biggest characteristic of this type of stone was that it would not be eroded by the wind, especially in a place like the Black Wind Continent where black storms frequently wreaked havoc. The buildings built with the Black Wind Stone could effectively resist the black storm.
The Black Wind Stronghold was the largest city on the Black Wind Continent, and also the largest trading center. The majority of the most powerful cultivators of the Black Wind Continent were gathered here, and it could be said to be the cultivation holy land of the Black Wind Continent.
It can be said without any exaggeration that Black Wind Stronghold is the place where the essence of the entire Black Wind Continent gathers!
The mountain pass between the two towering, fan-like mountains to the north of Black Wind Stronghold was the only way to get to the north of Black Wind Stronghold. However, this narrow mountain pass was alsuge wind pass.
Because there was a strong wind blowing all year round, this narrow mountain entrance would often emit all kinds of mournful and strange howls, like the weeping of demons. Aesult, this mountain entrance was once again nicknamed Weeping Ghost Gorge by the cultivators of Black Wind Continent.
However, this Weeping Ghost Gorge was a famous Blessed Land of the Black Wind Continent. It was said that the main reason the Black Wind Stronghold was built here was because of the existence of the Weeping Ghost Gorge.
Yang Junshan was currently walking in Black Wind Stronghold.
Because the source imprint that carried Nine Heavens did not just cause space to tremble when they first arrived in this world, they also caused various uncomfortableness when they first arrived in this world. As long as he did not reveal his identity on his own accord, or as long as the immortal kings of this world had their eyes on him, Yang Junshan did not need to worry about their identity being discovered.
In a teahouse in Black Wind Stronghold, Yang Junshan placed a book down and lightly sucked a mouthful of green tea. The aroma of the tea lingered between his lips, but his thoughts had long ago drifted far away from his.
For example, in the battle for the Sector lord at the beginning of the universe, there was a general description of the several Empyreans that participated in the fight for the Sector lord. Of course, the one that was most colorful was naturally the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens that had successfully become the Sector lord, and the other Empyreans, in order to further embody the glorious image of the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens, would have to bring along a bit of evilness and cunning.
However, although the descriptions in the legends were exaggerated, they undoubtedly contained a lot of valuable information. There were also many legends about how the Three Ultimate Celestial Sovereign was able to enter this world by accident, and how he was easily injured by several Empyreans, and how he was able to keep his treasures after advancing to the Golden Body Immortal.
However, unlike how other Empyreans were described as evil, cunning and the like, the roles the Three Ultimate Heavenly Celestial Sovereign s played in these acts were all just for showing their worth, their vision was short, and they even had a silly image. They obviously had the position of Heavenly Emperor, but they actually had to collect some heaven and earth treasures that they could not take away.
Of course, the majority of these records were only used for the low level cultivators to see. The real Great Divine Cultivator would never mock the “stupidity” of the Three Ultimate Heavenly Celestial Sovereign s, but when they mentioned the Three Ultimate Heavenly Celestial Sovereign s, all of them, without exception, were filled with complex emotions due to both greed and hatred. They coveted the heaven and earth treasures left in the Immortal Treasury of the Three Ultimate Celestial Sovereign s, and were also angry that the Immortal Treasury was unable to open.
Even though there were various heaven and earth treasures at the beginning of the sky that could not be found in groups, for the Celestial Sovereign s to be able to gather so many heaven and earth treasures in such a short amount of time, there was no doubt that they would be able to collect all of the most easily obtainable treasures on the eight continents. There might still be a lot more heaven and earth treasures left, but they were all in some remote and dangerous places, or perhaps they were all hidden in the ground.
For the next few thousand years, although the various cultivation resources of the Nine Heavens were further developed, and various heavenly and earthly treasures were rebred, the inborn inadequacy of the Nine Heavens caused the cultivation world of the Nine Heavens to lose at the starting line.
Some of the more radical Immortal Monarchs had once publicly stated that because of the Three Ultimate Heavenly Celestial Sovereign’s’ foolish ‘a(chǎn)ctions, the entire development of the cultivation world of the Nine Heavens had been delayed by five hundred years. Otherwise, the cultivation world of the Nine Heavens would definitely not be the way it was now; at the very least, the number of Immortal Monarchs in the Heavenly Court could be increased by three to five.
Yang Junshan followed the source imprint and was not in a hurry to confirm the exact location of the Immortal Repository. Rather, he would rather spend an entire day in Black Wind Fortress to give the source imprinough understanding of the entire nine days of cultivation.
From this information, Yang Junshan found out that out of the eight immortal stash that the Three Ultimate Celestial Sovereign left behind in the Floating Continent, there were currently four that were able to determine the exact location of the immortal stash. Even though the remaining four Nine Heavens cultivators could also roughly determine the possible addresses, they had never truly been verified.
There waumor that the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens knew the exact location of the eight Immortal Repositories. However, because of the source imprint s sealing, even the Heavenly Emperor himself was unable to open the Immortal Repositories.
Other than the fixed entrance to the spatial space, even the Celestial Emperor was unable to pinpoint the exact location of the immortal storage.
Of course, there were also conspiracy theorists who believed that the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens could completely open the Immortal treasury. It was just that they didn’t want the immortal kings in the Heavenly Court to get the chance to enter the Heavenly Sovereign Realm and threaten the position of the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens because of that, so they didn’t want to open the Immortal treasury.
At the very least, ever since Empyrean Nine Heavens had become the Celestial Emperor, there had never been another existence at the Empyrean level of Nine Heavens. The reason why the Three Ultimate Celestial Sovereign had advanced from the Immortal Realm to the Empyrean level back then was because they had collected too many treasures of heaven and earth from their initial stages of Nine Heavens. They had never succeeded in reconstructing their immortal bodies.
It was precisely because of this that this saying was also very popular in the world of cultivation in the Nine Heavens, and there were even some people who believed that the Immortal Repository that had been discovered over the past several thousand years could not be opened, and that the Immortal Repository could not be found at all. It was not only the Heavenly Emperor that did not want these Immortal Repository to be opened, but also someone who could secretly seal and conceal it.
Otherwise, no matter how hard and sturdy a Celestial Repository was, even if one worked hard for an Immortal Monarch, it would still be worn out; no matter how deep the Celestial Repository was hidden, it would still be found even if the entire Nine Heavens Cultivation World was thousands of years old.
Even if Yang Junshan was to read this piece of information, he would be unavoidably anxious. Behind these eight Immortal Repositories that had never been opened, if there was really was a shadow of the Heavenly Emperor who was actually a Sector lord, he, who was a stowaway and came from the Circulatory World, would not dare to open the Three Ultimate Heavenly Immortal Treasury even if he had a source imprint in his possession. Perhaps by this time, they might have already become the target of the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens.
Of course, this was only a possibility after all.
However, Yang Junshan had already found out about the four of the eight Immortal Repositories after looking through the records. They were respectively located on the four floating continents of Yellow Earth, Blue Water, Scarlet Gold and Forest.
Even the places where the Three Ultimate Celestial Sovereign s used to establish their own Secret realm space would usually choose their own continent’s most talented lands. Aesult, these places were usually opened up by a few major powers in their own land, causing a lot of strife and conflict.
However, the cultivators of the Black Wind Continent had never stopped searching for the Three Ultimate Heavenly Immortal Treasury. Furthermore, they had even found a few possible locations, and the mountain entrance Weeping Ghost Gorge at the north of the Black Wind Stronghold was one of the most likely places to hide them.
But right now, Yang Junshan was completely confident that the Three Ultimate Heavenly Immortal Treasury was definitely hidden in the Weeping Ghost Gorge at the entrance of the mountain!
Spreading out his left hand, he took a look before slowly closing it again. Yang Junshan’s gaze seemed to be able to see through the walls of Black Wind Stronghold and see the mountain pass several tens of kilometers away.
The unique terrain of the Weeping Ghost Gorge made this place likuge wind mouth. Moreover, this narrow basin was itself one of the most spiritual places in the Black Wind Continent, causing the gale that surged out of the Weeping Ghost Gorge to seem like the essence of the gale.
One of the main reasons why Black Wind Stronghold had developed intuge city and became the cultivation holy land for the entire Wind Branch Cultivators in the entire Black Wind Continent was because of the existence of the Weeping Ghost Gorge. This caused the entire narrow basin to be filled with the essence of Xun Feng that made all the Wind Branch Cultivators go crazy.
It was also because of this that the cultivators of the Black Wind Continent thought that the Weeping Ghost Gorge was one of the places with the highest possibility of becoming the hidden location of the Three Ultimate Heavenly Immortal Treasury.
At the same time, there was also a danger within the Weeping Ghost Gorge that caused the expressions of the majority of the cultivators to change. It was also because of this danger that became one of the reasons why the cultivators of the Black Wind Continent hid the Three Ultimate Heavenly Immortal Treasury.
