Chapter 40: The Strange Evil Eye, Cangwu Mountain Unsealed!
At this moment, many people walked over.
Their eyes were filled with confusion as they looked at Ye Xi.
What happened today was simply too bizarre, completely beyond their expectations.
First, the An Family’s patriarch became an evolved Great Emperor.
Ye Xi turned out to be the disciple of the Eternal Emperor.
Then there was that strange eye that appeared in the sky just now; what exactly was it?
These questions could only be answered by Ye Xi right now.
Ye Xi glanced at everyone, fell silent for a moment, and said, “You’ve seen the truth too. I don’t know much either.”
As he spoke, his face grew solemn:
“The strange eye we saw earlier is called the Strange Evil Eye. It can devour cultivators’ magic power and techniques, growing stronger continuously.”
“To it, powerful cultivators are the best nourishment.”
Que Ruyi and the others felt a chill run down their spines, feeling a coldness from their backs.
Ye Xi continued, “Its best nourishment is a Great Emperor. The more it devours, the stronger its suppression on cultivators becomes, leaving them completely powerless.”
“As for those who control the Evil Eye, they are a mysterious group. No one knows how long they have been lurking in the world.”
“I call them the Abnormal!”
This news was truly shocking, and everyone was stunned for a long time.
Many of those present were among the most powerful forces of the time.
But they knew nothing about such matters.
Que Ruyi’s heart stirred as she recalled the Celestial Court’s edict. Could these things come from the heavens?
With this thought, she felt even more chills down her spine.
The An Family had already become pawns, but how many other such pawns were there in the cultivation world?
Ye Qingge suddenly asked, “What is their purpose?”
“Or…”
Ye Xi pondered for a moment and replied, “They might be constantly improving and growing stronger, or perhaps they aim to control the entire cultivation world. We don’t understand clearly now.”
Everyone gasped again.
However, some felt that controlling the entire cultivation world seemed exaggerated.
How difficult would that be?
Throughout history, no force had ever managed to do so.
“It’s no wonder. Have you noticed that the current cultivation world, compared to tens of thousands of years ago…”
“The number of powerful cultivators has been continuously decreasing.”
“In ancient times, many sects had Great Emperors stationed. Some holy places would often see several Great Emperors appear!”
At this moment, someone shared their view.
Combining what Ye Xi had just said, they seemed to understand something.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xi said, “Back then, Great Emperors achieved immortality through transcending tribulations.”
“But somehow, they started ascending to the Celestial Realm through the opening of the Celestial Gate.”
Ye Xi sighed and continued, “Perhaps uncovering Cangwu Mountain will reveal something.”
At this point, everyone remembered the content in the Great Emperor’s diary.
Cangwu Mountain held secrets about ascension.
Ye Qingge pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s go! Let’s open Cangwu Mountain and take a look!”
Given the gravity of the matter, everyone’s faces turned grim.
Only then did they understand what the Eternal Emperor meant when he said it concerned the entire cultivation world.
A figure shot up into the sky.
Following Ye Xi’s lead, they flew towards Cangwu Mountain.
Countless cultivators streaked across the sky, densely packed like locusts sweeping across the land.
Moments later.
Ye Xi, Que Ruyi, and others had already arrived above Cangwu Mountain.
Others arrived gradually, gathering behind them.
After what had happened today, many felt a lingering fear and dared not get too close.
Even if there were opportunities, one must first ensure survival!
Cangwu Mountain.
Towering into the clouds, majestic and grand.
From the outside, it was just a tall mountain peak, nothing unusual.
Originally, An Family cultivators often guarded here, making it hard for outsiders to approach.

Setting
Traditional Simplified
However, now that the An Family had been defeated and their patriarch had died tragically, many An Family members were now in a state of fleeing for their lives, leaving no one to guard the place.
Still, the seals and restrictions here remained.
Breaking them forcefully required special methods, but with no one guarding, many powerful figures could approach without major issues.
Ye Xi looked around solemnly and said, “All cultivators above the Great Transcension period, follow me!”
“The rest, retreat a thousand feet!”
At this moment, no one dared to doubt his authority. With a single command, all other cultivators retreated.
Only the leaders of the top-tier forces remained nearby.
“Break the formation!”
Ye Xi roared loudly, his surging magic power bursting forth, and the laws around him erupted.
An aura resembling that of the Celestial Realm emerged.
Majestic and extremely shocking.
Purple Paulownia Great Emperor rose into the air, black mist enveloping one side, invading Cangwu Mountain.
Ye Qingge wielded a long sword, her peerless sword intent bursting forth, piercing through the sky.
Que Ruyi clasped her hands together, her technique bursting from her fingertips, a sacred lotus appearing and radiating awe-inspiring power.
Others moved in response to the call.
From all directions, they unleashed spells and techniques, summoning treasures, releasing astonishing power.
Boom!
Bang bang bang!
These attacks rained down upon Cangwu Mountain, instantly illuminating the sky with brilliant light.
A seal-like barrier appeared, resembling a turtle shell.
The collision caused the ground to shake violently, and a terrifying storm swept out, sweeping everything away.
Two Great Emperors and dozens of cultivators in the Great Transcension period attacked simultaneously.
Such a scene made the surrounding cultivators marvel in silence, their eyes wide open.
Rumble!
Crack—
The seal of Cangwu Mountain only lasted for a moment before it couldn’t hold any longer, cracks spreading.
“It’s broken!”
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone held their breath, unable to imagine how the Eternal Emperor discovered this place back then.
And how did he enter it so quietly?
Bang—
Finally, after another loud sound, the seal covering the entire Cangwu Mountain was destroyed.
At this moment, everyone looked again, and Cangwu Mountain remained as it was.
However, a strange fluctuation emanated from within the mountain, accompanied by a terrifying sound.
Extremely eerie.
Everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed on Cangwu Mountain.
Ye Qingge’s eyes turned cold, and she shouted, “I want to see what’s inside!”
“Zhao Shanhe!”
Commander Zhao Shanhe of the Xuan Bird Guard responded respectfully, “Your Majesty!”
“Break open Cangwu Mountain for me!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Zhao Shanhe stood on the Xuan Bird, bathed in firelight, his long saber flashing with sharpness.
He swung his saber fiercely, slicing down with a several-thousand-foot-long blade of light.
The ruthless blade of light slashed through Cangwu Mountain.
Crack—
Cangwu Mountain trembled violently, the blade slicing through the mountain, splitting it into two sides.
“What is this?”
“How could this happen?”
When the dust cleared and everyone saw what was inside Cangwu Mountain…
they stood motionless, like wooden statues.
Horror filled their eyes!
Even Ye Qingge, such a powerhouse, couldn’t help but tremble and turn pale.
