“Grandfather, there are five star-shaped depressions!” Xiang Chunan excitedly ran back and answered Xiang Fu. The five star-shaped depressions were very small, each only the size of a fingertip. They swept the mud and leaves off the bluestone completely clean, only then did they find them.
“Good, good, good!” Xiang Fu became excited. This really was as the ancestors said. “Chunan, drip blood onto each star shape. Your blood is among the purest of the witch clan. Hurry, you must fill each depression!”
“Yes!” Xiang Chunan nodded, his heart somewhat excited, wanting to see the ancestral land of the witch clan.
Blood dripped onto the depressions. After all five depressions were filled with blood, the blood was absorbed by the bluestone. The entire bluestone was dyed red, and blood patterns appeared on the bluestone. As these patterns appeared, the bluestone actually split in two, slowly opening, and a huge cave appeared at the summit of Xia Mountain.
This huge cave appeared. Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun glanced at each other, their hearts also having hard-to-suppress excitement. Could it be they were really going to see the ancestral land of the witch clan? One of the most miraculous races in this world, one of the greatest holy lands back then.
“Young Master Ye Chu, I must trouble you!” Xiang Fu said to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu nodded, his power sweeping towards Xiang Chunan, Xiang Fu and the others. “I will take you down first. The others wait here first. After confirming it is safe below, I will bring you down.”
Watching Ye Chu jump down, Tan Miaotong pulled Ye Jingyun, wanting Ye Jingyun to bring her down together. Ye Jingyun naturally would not listen to Ye Chu’s words and stay here obediently. She nodded, pulled Tan Miaotong, and jumped down together.
When Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun’s group landed, their feet touching solid ground, their gazes looked at where they stood. Tan Miaotong could not help exclaiming, “So beautiful!”
At first glance, all that could be seen was endless colourful clouds. The colourful clouds were gorgeous, setting off the beauty of heaven and earth incomparably. What the colourful clouds enveloped was a city, the city wrapped in dense colourful clouds, beautiful beyond compare, truly shocking to the eye.
This was one of the most beautiful cities in the world. No city could use colourful clouds as ornament, especially since this city was still inside a mountain.
At this moment, looking over, there was sky here, there were colourful clouds, there were towering great trees, there was abundant fragrance… all of this was like a peach blossom spring paradise. Who could have thought this was inside a mountain belly.
“Is this the holy land of the witch clan?” Ye Jingyun murmured to herself, also shaken by the beauty before her. Xiang Fu and the others were already kneeling on the ground, prostrating towards the city ahead.
“I finally understand why this place is called Xia Mountain. This beautiful scene outlined by ten thousand paths of colourful clouds, if this place cannot be described by ‘xia’, what place can be described by ‘xia’.”
Gazing at this most miraculous of holy lands, Ye Chu lightly exhaled, stepping forward preparing to walk towards the city. But he had not walked a few steps before being blocked by a light screen formed by the colourful clouds. Ye Chu was directly sent flying, his blood churning endlessly from the shock.
“Young Master! Are you alright?” Yang Hui was greatly alarmed, running to Ye Chu’s side, helping him up and saying.
“Young Master, do not act recklessly!” Xiang Fu also quickly stood up, saying to Ye Chu, “This is the witch glow of our clan, outlined by the clan’s most top-level powerhouses. It is fundamentally difficult to enter. Back then, the first generation ancestor who left Xia Mountain later wanted to return, but because of the witch glow’s obstruction, was powerless to return to Xia Mountain.”
“Witch glow?” Ye Chu looked at the glow enveloping the city, his heart having a look of surprise. Within it clearly was the power of rules. The witch clan did not cultivate primordial spirit, so how could they also have the power of rules.
“You have a way to enter?” Ye Chu asked Xiang Fu, thinking that as people of the witch clan, they should always have a way to walk into it.
But Xiang Fu shook his head and said, “If our clan had a way, we would not have been unable to return after the ancestor left Xia Mountain. For these countless years, we have not even been able to approach Xia Mountain.”
“You all cannot enter either?” Ye Chu frowned deeply, thinking must this place become a forbidden ground? A holy land, to be buried in the world forever?
“I will try again!” Ye Chu took a deep breath, stepping forward preparing to try again. For such a holy land, he really was not willing to not go in and take a look. Such a peerless place, he very much wanted to witness its miraculousness and power.
“Young Master, do not take risks!” Xiang Fu shook his head, “Being able to see the ancestral land once, we are already satisfied. We do not dare to hope for anything else.”
“Do you not want to witness what things remain within?” Ye Jingyun asked Xiang Fu.
“I want! How could I not want, the foundation of the witch clan back then is all within, it possesses infinite treasures. But, no one can enter, unless a Supreme Being comes personally, would it be possible.”
“Supreme Being comes personally?” Ye Jingyun clicked her tongue in surprise, not thinking entering here was so difficult. If it was really like this, the witch clan ruins could not reappear in the world. Even if there really was a Supreme Being in the world, they would not possibly come here. What kind of figures were Supreme Beings, they would not have interest in holy lands.
“I will try again!” Ye Chu took a deep breath. His law was different from others, perhaps it could break open this power of rules. After all, his law could even merge with Supreme Being law.
Seeing Ye Chu insisted on this, Xiang Fu naturally could not say anything: “Young Master, do not force it, just try, if it does not work then retreat. The things left by the ancestors are exceptionally terrifying, I fear accidentally injuring the young master.”
“Rest assured!” Ye Chu nodded, stepping forward and continuing to walk.
His hand touched the colourful clouds, his power slightly increasing, and under his increasing power, the witch glow’s rebounding force also continuously increased. Ye Chu increased by a trace, it increased by a trace. This made Ye Chu unable to help but frown.
“Ye Chu, how is it?” Ye Jingyun asked Ye Chu, wanting to step forward to help.
“Do not come over!” Ye Chu quickly shouted at Ye Jingyun, “This witch glow possesses the power of rules. You do not even have law yet, you cannot touch it. Otherwise, the harm to your artistic conception will be extremely great.”
Only then did Ye Jingyun stop her steps: “Then can you do it or not?”
Ye Chu did not answer her, clenching his teeth and driving his own power, the green lotus also trembling, law and power interweaving, continuously impacting towards the witch glow.
Ye Chu’s law was very unique. When the green lotus flickered, the witch glow actually had ripples surging open. But these ripples only shook for a moment, then immediately disappeared completely clean, and a terrifying power rebounded from above, directly sending Ye Chu flying.
“Pfft…”
This rebounding force was extremely terrifying. Ye Chu was directly blasted out blood, crashing at Tan Miaotong’s feet.
“Ye Chu…” Tan Miaotong’s complexion greatly changed, crouching down to support Ye Chu, using her hand to help Ye Chu smooth his breath. Ye Chu smiled at Tan Miaotong, indicating for her not to be nervous.
“Young Master, do not force it. The ancestor once had words, unless a Supreme Being comes it cannot be broken open, you…” Xiang Fu pulled Ye Chu, not letting Ye Chu continue to take risks.
