Lin Bai and Lin Ye reunite and enter the mountains, searching for Ye Suxin. They emerge from the mountains to find a dim grey world, which Lin Bai identifies as the Dragon Tomb. After hearing screams from within, Lin Bai enters the Dragon Tomb alone. He encounters powerful Steel Spider puppets and realizes the area is trapped by a magic circle.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Breaking Prohibition!"

With one sword strike, Lin Bai’s black sword aura parted the black mist ahead, revealing a space in front!

Lin Bai looked up, and it seemed to be a towering mountain.

But in an instant, the mist that Lin Bai had parted gathered again.

"This is a mountain!" Lin Bai’s eyes sparkled, and he said quietly, "Around this mountain is a mist that gathers and remains. As long as I walk out of this mist, I can reach that mountain.

"That mountain should be the treasure ground of the Daogu Tribe and the resting place of the dragon corpse!"

"If that’s the case, let’s strike again!"

Lin Bai gritted his teeth, swung the wooden sword, and slashed angrily forward.

A black sword aura pierced the cloud sky, shattering the mist.

And the mountain that was covered by mist appeared completely in front of Lin Bai.

The mist was temporarily parted by Lin Bai, and Lin Bai saw hundreds of steel spiders rapidly approaching, with many of their blade legs still stained with fresh blood.

Seeing this, Lin Bai dashed forward, burst out of the mist, and headed towards the mountain.

On the mountain.

Ye Suxin suddenly turned around, looked at the mist beneath the mountain, his eyes solemn, and said quietly, "Lin Bai is coming, we must go; it won’t be long before he reaches the Dragon Mountain!"

When Ye Suxin saw the sword that split the mist under the Dragon Mountain, Ye Suxin knew Lin Bai had arrived.

After that, Ye Suxin quickly led the Snake King and the Wolf King to search for an entrance on the Dragon Mountain, entering the Dragon Tomb.

...

After one sword parted the mist, Lin Bai quickly dashed forward, breaking through the mist, heading straight towards the mountain.

With Lin Bai’s speed, without the obstruction of mist, reaching this Dragon Mountain took only an instant.

When Lin Bai arrived at the Dragon Mountain, he looked back and saw the steel spiders chasing behind that saw Lin Bai had already reached Dragon Mountain, they turned and left without attacking.

"It seems these puppets cannot step onto this mountain!"

Lin Bai gazed upwards, this mountain in front was towering, soaring into the cloud sky, vast and mighty.

Lin Bai put away the wooden sword and walked towards the mountain foot.

After walking for a while, beneath the mountain appeared a stone stele, on which eight large characters were inscribed with fresh blood: "Immortal Dragon Mountain, trespassers will die!"

Lin Bai approached the stone stele, reached out to touch it, and the Devouring Sword Spirit within him suddenly flickered, seeming intensely interested.

"These characters are actually written with dragon blood." Lin Bai was somewhat surprised; these eight blood-colored characters, when Lin Bai touched them, he felt it was dragon blood.

However, the dragon blood written on this stone stele had long lost its spirituality, even if Lin Bai absorbed and refined it with the Devouring Sword Spirit, it couldn’t provide any spiritual power to help him.

Passing the stone stele, Lin Bai followed the ancient path in front and walked out.

After a few steps along this ancient path, it began to divide, transforming into tens of thousands of ancient paths, edging over the entire Dragon Mountain.

Lin Bai frowned, looking at the ancient path in front of him, and said mildly, "On this Dragon Mountain, the ancient path splits one route every ten steps, and each split path further divides into other paths!"

"Which one is the true path?"

"Which path should I take?"

Lin Bai was momentarily stunned, then continued walking a few more steps forward, discovering that the path also split into branches ahead.

Lin Bai thought for a moment and said immediately, "Forget it, let’s choose one at random."

Looking up, Lin Bai saw the paths split before him and, without hesitation, walked onto them, his steps flying, covering ten meters in one step, rapidly heading to the end of this path.

Moments later, Lin Bai reached the end of this path, seeing a dark mountain cave ahead.

"A cave!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, gathering his spirits, and slowly walked over.

Entering the cave.

Lin Bai saw that inside the cave, there was nothing else, no passageway, just a stone table with a palm-sized iron box placed on it.

"Huh?" Lin Bai walked to the stone table, carefully examined the small box, then extended his fingers and, with a swirl of spiritual power, a stream of spiritual power flew over, opening the iron box.

After opening it, Lin Bai immediately retreated and pulled away.

Rumble——

At this moment, the cave Lin Bai was in vibrated intensely.

The opened iron box split apart in an instant, and before Lin Bai, after a twist and change, turned into an iron person as tall as a man, holding a sharp sword, its cold iron eyes coldly viewing Lin Bai.

Without saying a word, this iron person delivered a sword slash at Lin Bai, and a fierce sword aura swiftly aimed at Lin Bai’s forehead.

"Puppet!" Lin Bai exclaimed and immediately retreated.

Simultaneously, Lin Bai drew out the wooden sword, counter-attacking with one strike.

With a bang, one strike fell, shattering this iron person, turning it into a pile of scrap iron scattered on the ground.

After smashing the iron person, Lin Bai was puzzled and said quietly, "What exactly is the Daogu Tribe trying to pull here?"

After a cautious glance, Lin Bai turned and left the cave, retracing his steps.

Once again, he walked onto a new path.

On this path, Lin Bai quickly reached the end, and ahead, there was still a cave, the cave still contained an iron box, Lin Bai touched the iron box, which still turned into an iron person attacking Lin Bai.

In such rounds, Lin Bai continually searched for new paths on the Dragon Mountain, found new caves, found new iron boxes, and then smashed the iron persons formed from these iron boxes.

"Never-ending?"

"The paths on this Dragon Mountain are over ten thousand, if I walk each one, who knows when I will find the end!"

Lin Bai’s expression twisted with anger.

He again headed onto a brand new ancient path, when reaching the cave at the end, Lin Bai opened the iron box.

Lin Bai initially thought this time the iron box would still become a puppet, attacking him.

But Lin Bai didn’t expect that after the iron box opened, instead of turning into a puppet, it emitted a burst of golden light, and within the glow, several words appeared!

Lin Bai frowned and looked, softly reciting the words: "The sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore!"

After reading, Lin Bai chuckled lightly: "Is the Daogu Tribe trying to scare us away?"

Lin Bai glanced and, originally not intending to pay attention, wanted to turn and leave immediately.

But at this moment, the characters on the iron box changed again, emerging once more, and Lin Bai immediately focused on them.

"On Dragon Mountain, seventeen thousand ancient paths, step the ancient path, see the Divine Tree, encounter the Four Symbols, pass Life and Death, break Nine Heavens, worship Divine Spirits, return ride the dragon..." The light revealed these few words again.

Lin Bai looked and secretly frowned.

And at this moment, suddenly from outside the cave, came a noisy voice: "Damn it, how many ancient paths are there on this Dragon Mountain, I’ve walked more than a dozen and am still going around in circles... According to my previous temper, I’d have split this place open with one sword long ago!"
