Immediately, Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er took the mountain god and headed straight for the courtyard.
Ye Qing asked calmly, "Mountain God, I have a question for you."
"Hey, bro, if you have any questions just ask!"
The mountain god nodded and said with a wry smile, "Also, you don't have to call me the mountain god. Just call me Little Mountain."
Ye Qing couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that you, a great mountain god, could be so flexible?"
"I still appreciate your rebellious look just now. How about you recover for a while?"
Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Who is the most powerful being in this ancient forbidden land?"
"This……"
The mountain god thought for a moment and replied, "The strongest ones are naturally the five guardians."
"Those five great powers are the pioneers who opened up the ancient forbidden land, and they are also the pillars of the ancient forbidden land."
"Any living being in the ancient forbidden land cannot go against their will."
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Who are these five guardians?"
The mountain god replied: "The guardian of our Dongting is called the Three Disasters Ancient Tree, which can control all plant creatures in Dongting as weapons."
"My magic power was given to me by the Three Disasters Ancient Tree a long time ago."
"The guardian of Xiting is called Venerable Tianli, and her power is also very terrifying. It is said that as long as you hear her singing, you will fall into an eternal sleep."
"The guardian of Nanting is the Immortal Bone Dragon. He is powerful and immortal. Even if he is destroyed, he can rely on the Dragon Pool to revive and be reborn."
"The guardian of Beiting is a lava statue that can control Beiting's thousands of volcanoes for its own use. Once it gets angry, it can cause a disaster that destroys the entire ancient forbidden land."
"And the guardian of the courtyard is the most mysterious. He is called the Holy King. Since the establishment of the ancient forbidden land, he has never appeared in public."
Speaking of the Holy King, the Mountain God couldn't help but shudder slightly, and said angrily, "I don't know much about the Holy King."
“I only know that the Saint King can use his mind power to control everything in the Ancient Forbidden Land at will, making all the creatures in the Ancient Forbidden Land his puppets, and can only act according to his will.”
"However, although the Saint King possesses a powerful ability that is almost beyond belief, he almost never takes action."
"Only when all four guardians are killed and the ancient forbidden land is about to be overthrown, will he appear in the world and restore order."
After listening to the mountain god's introduction, Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
According to what the mountain god said, these five guardians are indeed extremely powerful.
And there are more or less strange shadows on them, which must be inextricably linked to the weirdness.
For example, the immortal bone dragon, the guardian of Nanting, can be resurrected and reborn with the help of the Dragon Pool, which is similar to the immortal characteristics of the Bone Burial Clan.
The guardian of Xiting, Venerable Tianli, can use his singing to put people into eternal sleep, which is very similar to the mind-controlling witchcraft of the Soul Burial Clan.
The first-level lava stone statue of the Beiting Guardian is also very similar to the Dusk Giant.
If things go as expected, it was the four guardians who joined forces to seal the ruthless empress in the atrium.
As for whether the most mysterious Holy King actually took action, it is unknown.
The mountain god suddenly thought of something and looked panicked, "Brother, why are you asking these questions?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Guess."
The mountain god couldn't help but shudder all over, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, you...you don't want to challenge the guardians, do you?"
"Brother, excuse me, this joke is really not funny at all."
"No matter how strong you are, you can never be a match for the four guardians, let alone the Holy King."
"Listen to my advice. Leave as soon as you save the people, okay?" Ye Qing said with a faint smile, "If there is no conflict of interest between us, I certainly won't provoke them."
"But I think that if I want to rescue the people, a conflict with them is inevitable."
……
Under the guidance of the mountain god, Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er were able to travel smoothly all the way and directly arrived at the courtyard area.
The East Courtyard just now was a primeval forest full of vitality and wildness.
This atrium looks more like a ruin baptized by war.
The surrounding area was filled with broken walls, shattered stone pillars and armor, and blood, ashes and bones everywhere, which was chilling.
Bai Xian'er frowned slightly and murmured, "This place... is similar to the fairyland."
"Those cities that were washed by strange massacres and bloodbaths almost all had scenes like this..."
After walking another dozen miles, a ruined temple stood before them.
The temple is tall and majestic. Even though it is now in ruins, it still exudes an aura of majesty.
Bai Xian'er was stunned and said in astonishment, "This place... looks similar to the temple of the Immortal King Burial Heaven."
"Oh?"
When mentioning the Heaven Burial Immortal King, Ye Qing's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, Miss Xian'er, I would like to ask you something."
"Is this Heaven Burial Immortal King an immortal, or a weird one?"
"He is clearly on the weird side, so why can he call himself the Immortal King?"
Bai Xian'er was silent for a while, then sighed slightly.
"They are neither immortal nor weird."
"But——Fallen Immortal."
"Fallen Immortal?"
Ye Qing was slightly startled, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
It was the first time he heard the term "fallen immortal".
Whether it is the enlightenment of the ancient fairyland or the enlightenment of the new fairyland, this word has never been mentioned.
Bai Xian'er explained, "My benefactor, it's normal that you don't know about the Fallen Immortal."
"Even in the Immortal Realm, most people don't know about this."
"Only my father and the few Immortal Kings he trusts the most know about the existence of the Fallen Immortal."
"Back then, when the Ancient Immortal Realm was invaded by a strange force, it fell with overwhelming force, without any power to resist."
"In order to find a way to save the fairy world and fight against the weirdness, a group of powerful immortals, represented by the Immortal King Zangtian, resolutely broke into the Endless Burial Ground, intending to directly attack the weirdness's lair."
“No one knows what they saw and experienced in the Endless Burial Ground.”
"All we know is that not only did they fail to find a way to defeat the weirdness, but they were also corrupted by the weirdness in their spirits and minds."
"I forgot my identity as an immortal and regarded myself as the weirdness itself, becoming part of the weird army that invaded the new immortal world."
“The immortals in the new immortal world don’t know the identities of these immortals who have been eroded by the weirdness. They only regard them as stubborn and mortal enemies.”
"And my father and some other immortals who know about these past events call them fallen immortals." (End of this chapter)
