The Immortal's Pass was at the extreme edge of the Nine Heavens. It was both extremely cold and extremely hot. It was a magical place with a sea of flowers in spring and fiery autumn leaves.
It was said to be a place of extreme cold because it had a sacred peak that reached into the clouds. It was called the Heaven-Breaking Mountain because it seemed to have pierced a hole in the sky.
No one knew how high it was, and no one knew how long it had existed.
They only knew that the mountain rose from the ground and stretched all the way into the clouds. It was impossible to see its end.
There were once immortals who flew up to see how high the Heaven-Breaking Mountain was. However, they soon discovered a very terrible thing.
Was there a limit to the sky?
Regardless of whether it was the mortal world or the Nine Heavens, those ordinary mortals or extraordinary immortals would sigh with emotion when they faced the boundless sky.
Was there a limit to the sky?
Could it be measured?
In the human world, with the reproduction and progress of human beings, people slowly discovered that the earth had a limit, but the sky had no limit. The area of the earth was limited and had an end, but the area of the sky was infinite and had no end.
But soon, those great cultivators who had cultivated to the peak told them that there was a limit to the sky.
In the eyes of mortals who could not travel the Nine Heavens, there was no limit to the sky. But in the eyes of the great cultivators, the sky of the human world had a limit, and its limit was the Nine Heavens.
When the great cultivators reached the peak of their cultivation, they could not become immortals as long as they could not enter the Nine Heavens. Therefore, the Nine Heavens was the limit to them.
When they ascended to the Nine Heavens, they had fantasized that there was a limit to the sky in the Nine Heavens.
They soon discovered that even in the Nine Heavens, there was a limit to the sky.
This limit was the Heaven-Breaking Mountain.
No immortals could fly to the peak of the Heaven-Breaking Mountain. Even when they flew close to the sea of clouds at the peak, they would be blocked by the terrifying boundary around the Heaven-Breaking Mountain. Even the Almighty Immortals could not break through.
Legend had it that only after immortals had cultivated to become gods could they break through the boundary of the Heaven-Breaking Mountain and go to another world that was truly infinite: the Realm of Gods.
Only two people in the entire Nine Heavens had achieved this: Immortal Emperor Luo Jiuchong and Zhang Zhaoyang!
Therefore, in the eyes of all the Immortals of the Nine Heavens, the Sky Breaching Mountain was a sacred mountain. It was covered in snow all day long and would not melt all year round. Even halfway up the mountain, one would be attacked by the extreme cold. The storm was so fierce that not even Golden Immortals could withstand it.
But once one arrived at the foot of the mountain, one would be able to see the beautiful scenery of spring water and peach blossoms in full bloom. The gurgling river at the foot of the mountain divided the opposite bank into seasons. On one side was a dense peach blossom forest that never withered, and on the other side was a brilliant sea of maple leaves that were like fire. When one stood here, it was as if one was in a fairyland, and one couldn't help but be intoxicated.
The small river flowed forward and flowed into an incomparably large pit. The pit was so large that it was difficult to see the end with a single glance. At the bottom of the pit was boiling hot lava. Just by looking down, the dazzling light could blind an ordinary person's eyes, and the blazing heat could burn a mortal's eyes.
The Immortal's Path Pass was built on top of this incomparably deep pit!
The cultivators of the Human Realm yearned for the Immortal's Path Pass, but none of them knew that the Immortal's Path Pass was built on top of such a hellish lava!
Usually, when the Nine Heavens decided to accept a great cultivator from the Human Realm, they would pour the extremely cold snow of Sky Mountain into the boiling lava of the Immortal's Path Pass to extinguish it. At this time, as long as a great cultivator from the Human Realm passed the test of the Immortal's Path Pass, they could enter the Nine Heavens.
However, if the Nine Heavens reactivated the Hellish Lava, not only would the great cultivators from the Human Realm not be able to enter the Human Realm through the lava, even the great cultivators from the Nine Heavens would not be able to pass through the lava to enter the Human Realm.
No matter how powerful a Golden Immortal's golden body was, once soaked in the Hellish Lava, they would turn into mud and dust!
Therefore, once Sun Yijue activated the array of the Immortal's Path Pass, the people of the Human Realm would not be able to ascend to the Nine Heavens, and the Golden Immortals of the Nine Heavens would not be able to descend to the Human Realm with their physical bodies.
Otherwise … with Sun Yijue's personality, if she attacked the Human Realm now, even ten Li Chengfengs would not be able to survive!
Sun Yijue also knew that once this array was activated, it could not be reversed. Although she was only 60% prepared, she had already shot the arrow and there was no turning back. If she were to stop halfway, it would mean that her plan would be in vain!
As a roar came from afar, a ferocious beast flew over. When it got closer, people realized that this was the famous ferocious beast, Qiong Qi. It had the head of a tiger and the body of a cow. It was covered in white fur, with a pair of black wings on its back and a pair of golden horns on its head.
The Heavenly General guarding the Immortal's Path Pass was usually an outstanding Golden Immortal in the Nine Heavens. Even so, the Heavenly General only took one look at Qiong Qi's incomparably ferocious eyes and his entire body trembled. He subconsciously tensed up and tightened his grip on the long halberd in his hand.
Sun Yijue turned her head to look at Qiong Qi. This terrifying beast immediately crouched down obediently and lowered its head, like a docile pet.
Sun Yijue gently stroked Qiong Qi's head, a rare gentleness and reluctance in her eyes. She said softly, "After today's separation, it will be difficult for us to meet again.
You and I are fated, so I will comb your fur again. "
Qiong Qi raised its head and looked at Sun Yijue mournfully. It let out a low, sorrowful whimper.
Sun Yijue didn't even look at the Heavenly General. She said, "You can go. I still have to cast a spell for it in a while to protect it through the Lava of Hell."
The Heavenly General knelt on one knee, bowed, and hurriedly got up and left.
After walking far away, he breathed a sigh of relief. Qiong Qi's omnipresent terrifying pressure finally dissipated from his chest.
In the ancient war of the Fiendgods, legend had it that Qiong Qi was one of the many ferocious beasts that invaded. However, after the Fiendgods were defeated, Qiong Qi was left behind in the Nine Heavens as the Fiendgods' mount. Some hid in the mountains, while others were discovered by Golden Immortals. They were either used as food or tamed.
As the mount of the ancient Fiendgods, Qiong Qi was born with an incomparably powerful pressure and power. It was not afraid of any fire and also had the power of the Fiendgods to bring disaster to the world!
Among the four ferocious beasts of the Fiendgods, Qiong Qi represented the ultimate evil. When it appeared in the human world, there would be endless disasters. Zhu Yan represented the ultimate power. When it appeared in the human world, there would be endless wars and rivers of blood. Tao Tie represented the ultimate greed. When it appeared in the human world, there would be endless desires and greed. Chaos represented the ultimate evil. When it appeared in the human world, there would be all kinds of evil and plagues!
When Sun Yijue sent Qiong Qi to the human world … the Heavenly General couldn't help but shiver. He seemed to have already seen the terrifying scene of corpses and disasters in the human world.
Sun Yijue gently stroked Qiong Qi's hard white fur while Qiong Qi hummed softly like a kitten.
When Sun Yijue finished stroking Qiong Qi's last tuft of fur, she also covered Qiong Qi's body with a thin layer of golden sand. This layer of golden sand made Qiong Qi look like it was shining with a golden light. This way, when Qiong Qi passed through the Absolute Purgatory Lava, it would be able to withstand the extreme heat and extreme pressure at the same time. This way, it would be able to preserve most of its strength to pass through the Immortal's Pass and enter the human world.
Qiong Qi was not afraid of the extreme fire, but it was afraid of the extreme pressure. The depth of the Extreme Prison Lava was unimaginable to ordinary people. Just by passing through the boiling and burning lava, the deeper it went, the greater the pressure. At the highest point, it was enough to crush a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal into a pile of meat paste. It was not something that could be resisted by a human body.
Therefore, if the immortals of the Nine Heavens wanted to go to the human world, most of the time, they would abandon their bodies and enter the human world with their souls. Then, they would be reincarnated and reborn as a human. Only in rare cases would they pay a great price to cool down the Extreme Prison Lava, and then bear the extreme pressure of the cooled lava and descend to the human world when their bodies were greatly injured.
But which immortal in the world would be willing to bear the extreme pressure and go to the human world?
This meant that they would suffer irreversible damage!
This kind of loss was unbearable for them.
This was also the fundamental reason why immortals in the human world were almost invisible.
Sun Yijue patted Qiong Qi's head and gently stroked its golden horn. Qiong Qi stood up, and its huge body stood up like a small mountain.
