While the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon were locked in a cataclysmic battle, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng actually managed to break into the Formation within the Sun Never Sets Mountain, enraging both the Black Dragon King and the Lizard Demon to no end. It should be noted that at the heart of the Sun Never Sets Mountain, not to mention others, even they, as supreme evil demons that have cultivated there for thousands of years, have had no chance to enter this central area. The Formation here, while lacking in strong offensive power, is very difficult to break. At the center of the Sun Never Sets Mountain lies something they yearned to obtain; they were even willing to risk annihilation to attempt to claim it.

When Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng crossed the light barrier of the Formation at the center of Sun Never Sets Mountain, they were both taken aback. They had imagined many possibilities and envisioned the scene at the center of the mountain numerous times, but they had never expected to see such a scene.

What lay before Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng was neither a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea nor piles of white bones, but instead, it had the feeling of a surprising sanctuary, an exceptionally serene place brimming with strong life force. They could even sense strands of Spiritual Energy pulsing, making their limbs and even their souls feel wonderfully comfortable. They could never have imagined that deep within the ”Sun Never Sets Mountain,” known as a demon land, they would find such a scene—completely different from the ghastly and eerie Corpse Mountain Blood Sea outside, which made one’s scalp tingle.

”This place is...” Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but express her bewilderment.

”To think that the heart of the Sun Never Sets Mountain would look like this, it’s really strange!” Ye Tianchen also frowned as he spoke.

”What’s strange about that? The Sun Never Sets Mountain was once the most suitable place for Cultivation on Earth; it’s just a pity that times have changed!”

At that moment, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng heard the familiar female voice that had transmitted Divine Thoughts to them before. They couldn’t help but look to the side, only to see Tianshuang crouching not far away on the ground, looking at something on the ground as if she were about to pluck it off, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement.

”You... weren’t you gone? Why are you here?” Dongfang Meng asked Tianshuang, somewhat puzzled.

”Still need to ask? She lied to us, didn’t tell us the whole truth, and clearly made her way in here before us through other means. And it looks like she needs our help...” Ye Tianchen shook his head as he looked at Tianshuang and said.

”Can’t you say something nice? After all, I saved you just now, that makes me your lifesaver, right? Is there a need to talk about me as if I am some sort of despicable villain?” Tianshuang stood up and glanced at Ye Tianchen irritably.

”Really? I don’t feel that way. We also saved your life. According to your own words, we’re even, no debts on either side.” Ye Tianchen shrugged indifferently.

”Did I say that? I told you some secrets about the Sun Never Sets Mountain that should count as repaying the life-saving debt I owed you. So, this time you were saved by me, and now you owe me a big favor that must be repaid!” Tianshuang pouted and glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

”If you say so. It seems you really do need something from us!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Guy with no EQ, I don’t want to talk to you. Sister Dongfang Meng, here we can be considered friends, right? No friends without a fight, we have saved each other’s lives. How about we team up?” Tianshuang smiled as she looked at Dongfang Meng and asked.

”Team up? You mean...” Dongfang Meng began to ask.

”I think let’s not. We have already saved each other’s lives, which makes us even. From here on, it would be better for each of us to go our separate ways. Goodbye!”

Ye Tianchen glanced at Tianshuang, then made a signal with his eyes to Dongfang Meng, and took the lead walking ahead. Dongfang Meng, being an astute woman, understood Ye Tianchen’s intention and promptly followed behind him. After entering the Formation, both Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng instantly felt that they were unable to utilize Qi Manipulation Flight; they could only walk on foot. The magic laws of this place restricted flying with an overwhelming power that couldn’t be resisted. Thus, the two of them walked ahead without paying further attention to Tianshuang.

Seeing that Ye Tianchen didn’t fall for her ruse, Tianshuang was a bit stunned. Indeed, she had some plans and ideas, but she couldn’t accomplish them alone. Within the Sun Never Sets Mountain, the only people she could trust and rely on were Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng!

”Hey, wait a minute. I have something to tell you.” After thinking for a while, Tianshuang shouted loudly at Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng.

Ye Tianchen gave a mischievous smile, turned to Tianshuang, and said, ”If you tell us that the Great Demon inside the Sun Never Sets Mountain has been alive for five million years, I really don’t want to hear it again!”

”The Great Emperor only had a lifespan of over thirty thousand years. If a Great Demon within could really live for five million years, that would be defying the heavens...” Dongfang Meng also pretended to be greatly puzzled as she spoke.

Tianshuang glanced at Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng, realizing she couldn’t deceive these two. Moreover, to obtain what she wanted inside, it was virtually impossible without the help of Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng. She had no choice but to tell them the truth.

Ye Tianchen, from the very beginning, suspected the purpose of this cunning and peculiar girl, Tianshuang. When they were outside the Sun Never Sets Mountain, some of the things Tianshuang told them were true, while others were fabrications. Later, when Tianshuang pretended to be frightened and left, she actually hadn’t gone far. Anyone could guess that with the Mixed Element Bell resounding and suppressing the Great Demons inside the Sun Never Sets Mountain, with the deterrence of the Mixed Element Bell, all the demons, ghosts, and monsters inside, no matter how powerful or domineering, whether they were from the Demon Clan or the Ancient Alien Race, would tuck their tails and submit. Who would dare to confront the might of a Great Emperor?

After entering the formation in the core area of the Sun Never Sets Mountain, Ye Tianchen, upon seeing Tianshuang, guessed that this ghostly clever girl had not only lied to them about the legends of the Sun Never Sets Mountain but also likely knew the shortcuts to enter deeply into the mountain. Her supposed flight in fear was actually her stealthy entrance. Little did she know that everything inside would exceed her expectations, and without the help of others, obtaining something was impossible.

”Actually, I really don’t know what’s going on,” Tianshuang stalled, changing her expression to one of sincerity, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Tianchen turned and walked away.

”What... what do you mean by this?” Tianshuang hastily called out to Ye Tianchen.

”It means nothing. If you don’t consider us friends, there’s nothing more to discuss!” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

Tianshuang was infuriated by Ye Tianchen’s statement to the point of death. She originally thought that by concocting another story, she could deceive Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng, using them to help herself obtain what she wanted. They were both unfamiliar with everything inside the Sun Never Sets Mountain and did not know what was true or false, so she thought they would be easy to fool. Little did she know how clever Ye Tianchen was—casual lies would not fool him.

”Alright, I’ll tell you, is that not enough?” Tianshuang glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely, saying helplessly.

”This is your last chance. Otherwise, we two will proceed on our own!” Ye Tianchen said with an expression of resignation.

At that moment, Tianshuang truly wanted to strangle Ye Tianchen to death, but she was helpless. She had already entered the formation in the depths of the Sun Never Sets Mountain, confirming some things. However, what she hadn’t expected was the need for others’ help to obtain those items. After five million years, the Mixed Element Bell had rung again, and the Chaos Qi had spread out, suppressing the entire Sun Never Sets Mountain. Every demon, ghost, and monster had to hide their tails and remain hidden, lest who dare oppose the might of the Great Emperor?

”To tell you the truth, the Grandmaster of our Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect has awakened and sent me to retrieve some items from the Sun Never Sets Mountain. It was an opportunity to enter the mountain successfully, but I didn’t anticipate that I’d need more than my own strength to obtain these items,” Tianshuang said earnestly.

”Is the Great Demon inside the Sun Never Sets Mountain truly immortal, living for five million years?” Dongfang Meng still asked.

”That I really do not know. The Grandmaster once said, if there’s any disturbance inside the Sun Never Sets Mountain, only the Mixed Element Bell could suppress it. Had it not been for the bell suppressing it for over five million years, Earth would have been destroyed long ago and neither the Mortal World nor the Ancient Martial World would exist. Whether the Great Demon inside is alive, dead, or surviving in some special state is unknown...” Tianshuang shook her head.

”It seems if we want to know the true situation of the Great Demon, we must find the Mixed Element Bell to take a look...” Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

”Are you insane? Do you know what the Mixed Element Bell is? It is a supreme Emperor’s Artifact, an eternally indestructible existence. Even if the Great Emperor falls, the Emperor’s Artifact will forever remain in this world. The Emperor’s Artifact represents the Great Emperor himself, and no one can resist that kind of pressure. One absolutely must not approach the Mixed Element Bell,” Tianshuang hurriedly said.

Ye Tianchen was startled for a moment, for Tianshuang did have a point. What was an Emperor’s Artifact? A supreme treasure, the Divine Weapon used by the Great Emperor throughout his battles, possessing the power to shake the universe. Even if the Great Emperor were gone, the Emperor’s Artifact would still exist unless destroyed; otherwise, the traces of time would be unable to erase it, symbolizing that the Great Emperor, in a way, remained in this world eternally.

”So what exactly do you want to obtain?” Ye Tianchen looked at Tianshuang and asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
