Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Entering the Ancestral Court

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast's merchant convoy had come to the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain countless times, and after undergoing inspection and verification, they were quickly allowed to pass.Tang San and his group had not attracted any attention either.

Before setting out, Tang San had a profound conversation with the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King, who expressed that after their return from the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain, it would introduce them to the City Lord Manor. Tang San also conveyed his sincerity to this wealthier-than-a-country Demon King, telling it that he would certainly strive to find the Array Master and at the very least bring back the master's friendship.

After mutual probing, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King told Tang San that their low-profile handling after their last victory was very appropriate, as it did not cause more disturbances among the human races. Although they had substantial influence in Jiali City, they didn't let the situation escalate. The Messenger of the Ancestor Court was dissatisfied, but beyond reminding him to have Tang San's group participate in the team battle at the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain, he didn't express much else. In the end, the Monster Clan still didn't take humans seriously.

This was undoubtedly good news for Tang San and his group; the lesser the specificity of the attention, the greater their chances of overcoming this obstacle. The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King indicated that arrangements had been made for them. As for specifics, someone would tell them what to do once they reached the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain. Whether they could overcome the challenge would also depend on their performance.

Downplaying was the best strategy. If they lost the contest, they could dissolve the prestige they had built up without necessarily needing to face death. In this regard, money could still solve problems. But the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King also reminded Tang San once more, hoping they could find the Array Master. Without making it explicit, its meaning was clear: it could help Tang San and his group overcome the difficulty, but it could also destroy them at any time.

To this, Tang San naturally agreed without hesitation. At least for the short term, he still needed the help of this Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King.

After passing the checkpoint, there were steep cliffs on both sides, rising to great heights. Yet the central avenue was very wide, enough to accommodate twenty carriages abreast.

If one observed carefully, they would discover that the rock walls on both sides seemed to have been cleaved open by some sharp instrument, rather than formed naturally. What kind of mighty power could cleave a channel through such high mountains? S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After entering this area, Tang San could vaguely sense an incredibly powerful divine consciousness presence lingering within the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain, even giving him the sense that perhaps he had returned to the Divine Realm.

Inside the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain, thick spirituality of heaven and earth was being exuded. The aura was rich in properties, and though it wasn't purely life force, it was extremely dense.

This was also the reason why the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain demanded that only nobles could enter: those who were not nobles were not qualified to absorb the rich spirituality of heaven and earth within the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain.

Bathing in such spirituality of heaven and earth, even without cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Method, Tang San could feel the bloodline power within his body circulating and absorbing on its own.

However, the spirituality of heaven and earth was somewhat mixed, and to gain real benefits from it, purification would be necessary. But compared to Jiali City, this place was indeed much better.

Tang San could feel that more of this spirituality of heaven and earth was emanating from the Holy Mountains. Different Holy Mountain Thrones emanated different properties of aura, which was why the spirituality inside the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain was mixed.

Just then, a brilliant flash of light suddenly streaked across the sky. A figure had directly swept over from the top of the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain and flew into the interior of the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain.

Tang San was looking outside through the carriage window and quickly focused his vision on the figure.

He could only discern vaguely that it seemed to be a pure white figure, with white wings flapping in the air, the whole body radiating a holy light. The powerful presence seemed as if it could tear the sky apart and disappeared into the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain in an instant.

How strong! A Great Demon Emperor? Tang San thought to himself in shock.

This pure white figure, he could vaguely make out, seemed to be a Crane Demon. Even without the cultivation base of a great Demon Emperor level, it was probably not far off. Daring to fly above the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain, one could imagine the other party's identity.

At this time, their convoy had already passed through the long mountain road and had finally arrived inside the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain.

Looking around, the Ancestor Court nestled within the embrace of mountains, sat within a vast basin. Wherever the eye could see, all kinds of tall buildings and vegetation nearly filled the entire basin. And in the center of the basin, a series of towering palaces proudly stood in the central area of the Ancestor Court. Each palace was situated on a hill, giving a distinct feeling of loftiness.

There were as many as sixteen such palaces. Some were large, some small, and their shapes varied. But all were impressively magnificent structures.

Undoubtedly, these palaces were the dwellings of the pinnacle powers who truly controlled the great authority of the Demon Monster Land.

Merely looking with eyes, one could vaguely sense the invisible awe-inspiring pressure radiating from these palaces.

The palace closest to Tang San and his companions was constructed of white stone, perched atop a hill about five hundred meters high. The pure white palace emanated a daunting hegemony, and in front of the palace stood a massive statue. Although it was not as large as the Holy Mountain Throne, it nevertheless had a mutually reflecting aura. The statue depicted a huge white tiger with wings on its back, its body tens of meters long exuding a powerful and fierce aura.

Without a doubt, this must be the palace of the White Tiger Great Demon King, the strongest of the Tiger Demon Line, a veteran Demon Emperor.

On another hill not far from the palace of the White Tiger Great Demon King was a palace that gradually changed color, magnificent in its hues. The lower part of the palace was green, blending seemingly into one with the various vegetation on the mountain, while the upper part was fiery red. The transition from green to red made it look like a flame soaring into the sky.

The overall shape of the palace resembled a giant mushroom. Tang San speculated that this should be a palace belonging to the Heavenly Spirit Emperor.

From his angle, he could only clearly see these two palaces. Through Spiritual Power sensing, Tang San could feel that these palaces, belonging to the great monster emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors, were all absorbing the spirituality of heaven and earth from the air, like whirlpools, devouring and absorbing. But at the same time, they were also releasing aura, seemingly discharging what they did not need back out.

The rich yet complex aura inside the Ancestor Court seemed to be directly related to their absorption and filtration.

"It's really, really…" Du Bai had already been staring wide-eyed and dumbfounded. Not just him, the members of the Shrek squad were all holding their breaths, watching this magnificent scene unfolding outside.

This was their first visit to the Ancestor Court Holy Mountain, and before coming here, they had numerous imaginations about this renowned core of the continent. However, no matter what they had envisioned, the actual sight of this place still brought them an unparalleled shock.

Their ten consecutive victories in team battles in Jiali City had built their confidence, and the progress in their cultivation base had even fostered a hint of pride in their hearts.

However, after coming here and feeling the atmosphere of the Ancestor Court, the emotions that emerged within them included a sense of humbleness. They finally understood why, despite their accomplishments, the Monster Clan still seemed to have a feeling of disdain towards them.

Here, they felt like mere grains of sand in the vast ocean, unable even to muster a thought of resistance.

Not to mention others, even Tang San's heart weighed heavily at this moment.

The reason he insisted on coming to the Ancestor Court was of great importance: to understand this world, to comprehend to what extent the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan could be powerful. Jiali City was after all just a place of relative safety, and it was said to be the weakest domain within the main city. So, what would the strongest Ancestor Court Holy Mountain look like?
