Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Treasure on the Sacred Mountain! (Third Update) A treasure has appeared in the East! Strong individuals from around the world have sensed this news and are swiftly heading to China. In the martial world, numerous samurai gathered together. The news of a precious treasure appearing in China had already spread, making many people’s hearts burn with excitement. Despite China’s mystery and strength for Japan, it does not restrain their ambitions. “This is an opportunity for the rise of our Japanese martial arts world. As long as we seize China’s precious treasure, our martial arts world in Japan will not need to fear that Ye Qiu, and we can restore Japan’s dignity.” “The treasure must be seized.” Daoist Qian Zhen, Chen Yifeng, and others all rushed into a villa on the mountainside. “Young friend Ye, many strange strong people have suddenly appeared recently, killing our martial artists at will. You cannot sit by idly.” “What on earth is happening?” Ye Qiu wanted to confirm what these sealers were currently doing. “Young friend Ye, you may not know, many of our martial artists have been captured, moving against their will, completely becoming tools for others to explore danger,” Chen Yifeng explained. “Oh?” Ye Qiu was shocked. Could it be that Ge Tian’s treasure has already emerged? Daoist Qian Zhen said, “These people are very strong. Even with our divine power realm strength, we couldn’t gain any advantage. And only a part of them have acted, with many more who haven’t yet, estimated to be even stronger.” “Where are they exploring?” “Mount Tai!” Daoist Qian Zhen, Chen Yifeng, and others replied in unison. “So, Ge Tian’s treasure is in Mount Tai,” Ye Qiu murmured. “What Ge Tian? Treasure?” Daoist Qian Zhen, Chen Yifeng, and others were puzzled, not knowing. “Qin Feng, please explain to the seniors what you know,” Ye Qiu looked at Qin Feng. Having Qin Feng explain made it clearer. Then, Qin Feng recounted about the sealers and the emergence of Ge Tian’s treasure, as well as the crisis Earth was about to face, causing the martial seniors to fall silent. After a while, Chen Yifeng was the first to speak, “Is this true?” “Absolutely,” Ye Qiu said. “No wonder they are so strong. Having a young master like young friend Ye in our martial world is already a rarity in a century. Now, suddenly, a flood of young, powerful martial artists appears. I was wondering where they’re from. Turns out they are sealers who’ve lived for many years,” Wang Hutang, Ren Hesheng, and others sighed. “Their target is Ge Tian’s supreme treasure. This treasure must not fall into their hands, or else humanity on Earth will be exposed to the entire universe and will only suffer humiliation,” Ye Qiu said. Chen Yifeng and the others already knew that Ge Tian’s supreme treasure shields Earth’s aura, hiding it in the universe, making it hard for ordinary beings to find. But once Ge Tian’s treasure has a new owner, if it’s those sealers, then the humans on Earth will lose any support and be left at the mercy of others without strong guardians. The seniors realized the seriousness of the situation and prepared to go back to gather people to compete for the treasure with the sealers. After Chen Yifeng, Daoist Qian Zhen, and others left, Qin Feng turned and said, “Young master, we should act too.” Ye Qiu’s face became serious, “Ge Tian’s supreme treasure definitely cannot fall into others’ hands. It seems I won’t be able to witness the birth of my child.” Ye Qiu felt guilty towards his unborn child, but given the current crisis, if even Earth could not be protected, he and those he wanted to protect would be in grave danger. That day, Ye Qiu took Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and others to Mount Tai, the No. 1 mountain in China! Mount Tai is the head of the Five Sacred Mountains and is the first divine mountain in the world. In ancient times, it was also considered the place of worship by emperors. At the peak of Mount Tai, they prayed to the gods. Even before Ye Qiu and the others reached the foot of Mount Tai, they noticed that today’s Mount Tai was very different from the past. From a distance, Mount Tai was shrouded in a thick mist, making it impossible to see the mountain itself, leaving only a blur. Many reporters were filming and reporting the changes to people across China. “Hello everyone, I’m Wu Xiaoli, a reporter for China Daily. As we learned just a day ago, Mount Tai suddenly disappeared. Holding a skeptical attitude, we rushed to the scene. Now we are a hundred miles away from Mount Tai, and indeed, as the news reported, Mount Tai is indeed gone. Because of the location where Mount Tai should be, we can now only see a thick fog.” “I’m sure everyone is curious about why there is such a thick fog during the day that won’t dissipate and covers Mount Tai. On this matter, we have invited geography expert Chang Linxiang to give us an answer.” People in countless households were watching the headline news, concerned about why Mount Tai was shrouded in a mysterious fog. On the screen, a slightly thin man appeared, wearing black-framed glasses with a hint of beard, clearly a scholar. “Regarding the disappearance of Mount Tai, as everyone has seen, it’s not truly disappearing. It’s just covered by fog. But such thick fog on a scorching summer day, remaining near midday, is indeed peculiar.” “However, this is not inexplicable. Recently, continuous heavy rains have left many puddles near Mount Tai, and when the rain stopped and the weather cleared, the accumulated water rapidly evaporated, and with a touch of cold air, it condensed into fog.” “The reason the fog hasn’t dissipated is likely due to the cold airflow lingering here, so there’s no need to panic. Trust in science, and in a few days, Mount Tai will reveal its true appearance again.” The screen switched back to reporter Wu Xiaoli, “Alright, thank you to our Mr. Chang Linxiang for the explanation. Mount Tai being shrouded in mist is a normal phenomenon, and I’m sure everyone understands now. Almost forgot, today is Mr. Chang’s wedding day, and on such an important day, you’re still working. On behalf of all Chinese people, we applaud you.” “As an expert, this is what I should do,” geography expert Chang Linxiang adjusted his glasses humbly. “Your spirit is something we should learn from and admire. Wishing Mr. Chang a blissful and happy marriage. This concludes today’s report.” Ye Qiu and the others paused for a while. Qin Feng laughed, “Today’s experts really know how to speak nonsense. This mist is due to Ge Tian’s treasure emerging, making the surrounding area of the peak a perilous place. Waiting for the mist to dissipate on its own might take forever.” Ye Qiu smiled faintly, “No matter that. What’s urgent is that we must be ahead of everyone to obtain the treasure that shields Earth’s aura.” Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and the others nodded. Then, the group hurried again. For these strong individuals, a hundred miles was just a matter of a few breaths. In no time, the group arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, though it might be more accurate to describe it as the edge of the mist. Moreover, it was obvious that someone had already advanced ahead of them, continually entering the fog. With a quick sweep of spiritual power, Ye Qiu found that the mist could actually block spiritual power, seemingly having a magnetic field inside that disrupted spiritual power. Suddenly, Ye Qiu and the others heard a scream coming from within. A man standing in front of the mist said, “Useless, switch to another person to continue scouting.” As he said this, the people beside him pulled up a person tied with a rope and pushed him towards the fog. “I don’t want to go in, I don’t want to.” This person shouted, refusing to enter, knowing that all the people before him went in and never came back. No one dared to continue blindly exploring. This update is available on novel⚑fire.net “Hmph, whether you go in is not up to you. You must listen to our young master’s words, or you will only die.” Eventually, that person was still sent into the fog. Ye Qiu frowned repeatedly. “Hmph, if I wasn’t short on manpower, I wouldn’t use you ants at all. If these people are used up, go to the martial world and grab more. These weak martial artists, though weak, are still somewhat useful. No matter how many die, it’s worth it if the dangers in this mist are mapped out,” the man said coldly. Ye Qiu clenched his fists. This person viewed martial artists as mere grass, disregarding any life. It seems he guessed correctly; in the eyes of the sealers, Earth humans can be crushed at will. “Truly ruthless and heartless, treating Earth as your backyard, killing anyone you want?” A voice quietly sounded in the young man’s ear. The young man suddenly frowned and looked up, “Who?”
