Chapter 475: Clues And Strange Things
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
Before 1999, this mountain had been a normal mountain to the west of Xiangjiang City.
However, after 1999, many major events happened to Jiang Dao Mountain.
A hundred people disappeared for no reason. At night, the mountain peak was lit up by fire, and lightning storms bombarded the mountain peak all year round.
Despite such abnormal phenomena, the Xiangjiang government and the police department did not do anything, likely due to the fact that it was beyond their understanding and control.
In the end, the government cordoned off Jiang Dao Mountain and built a wall at the foot of the mountain. They even dispatched soldiers to guard the mountain all year round.
As long as no one went up the mountain, no one would be injured. This was the most direct solution to deal with the problem.
Over the years, there had indeed been people who tried to climb the mountain to investigate. However, before they could get very far, both of their legs would be fractured or broken.
It was extremely terrifying!
Since then, no one dared to approach the mountain. After more than ten years, its status evolved to that of a sacred mountain among the local populace.
Countless citizens would pray for safety every time they saw the phenomena at the peak of Jiang Dao Mountain.
After Ye Chen finished reading the information, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. These so-called mysterious phenomena were nothing special in the eyes of cultivators.
However, Jiang Dao Mountain definitely hid a huge formation, or else these phenomena would not have persisted for so long.
Ye Chen was about to shut off the tablet when he suddenly noticed something. His eyes were filled with incredulity and his breathing quickened as he stared at a picture of Jiang Dao Mountain.
The picture was taken from an aerial camera. At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary mountain.
However, when Ye Chen zoomed in, spotted a stone tablet on the mountain!
On the stone tablet was an ancient character.
After that, Ye Chen took out the notebook that his father had left behind for him in the Lin family’s residence and flipped to the last page.
He was shocked to find that the picture his father had drawn was exactly the same as the ancient character on the stone tablet!
If he found this stone tablet, he would be able to find his grandfather’s friend!
This was related to his background and the secrets of the Ye family!
“Did Grandpa bring me to Jiang Dao Mountain when he brought me to Xiangjiang City back then?”
“Why would Grandpa do this? Could it be that Jiang Dao Mountain is hiding some sort of secret? Or is the Samsara Graveyard related to Jiang Dao Mountain?”
Ye Chen sank into deep thought.
He had a feeling that he had caught a glimpse of the mysteries behind this matter, but it was nowhere close enough to make any judgements or conclusions.
Ye Chen then put the tablet back into the Samsara Graveyard. He glanced at the time and realized that it was already two o’clock in the morning.
Wei Ying was already fast asleep.
Perhaps she was not sleeping well, but most of the blanket had been kicked off. Her slender legs were covered by one side of the blanket, and her two arms were hugging a pillow.
In order not to disturb Wei Ying, Ye Chen left a restriction on the door of the room and then headed to the hotel’s rooftop.
Once the restriction was broken, he would detect it immediately.
The hotel building was the third tallest building in Xiangjiang City. Standing on the rooftop, one could almost see the entire city, and beyond.
Ye Chen arrived at the rooftop and fixed his gaze on a mountain peak to the west.
Although clouds covered the peak, as a cultivator, he could still see through them a little.
Ye Chen picked up the map of the Xiangjiang region and glanced at it. He found that the tall buildings and mountains near Jiang Dao Mountain were all part of a formation.
“Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation,” Ye Chen exclaimed.
This Spirit Gathering Formation drew in all of the natural energies within a hundred miles toward Jiang Dao Mountain, blessing it with increased spiritual energy density.
Ye Chen grew more excited. Suddenly, he felt the black stone in his pocket shake violently.
Seconds later, it rushed out of his pocket and floated in the air.
It bloomed with dazzling light!
At the same time, Jiang Dao Mountain seemed to be covered in a layer of holy light that soared into the sky!
A golden pillar of light pierced through the clouds!
However, all of this came and went very quickly. Seeing that the black stone was about to rush toward Jiang Dao Mountain, Ye Chen quickly grabbed the black stone tightly.
In an instant, the Samsara Graveyard appeared on the hotel rooftop, and an extremely strong sense of desolation spread out.
The tombstones suddenly shook!
“You have to get that item from Jiang Dao Mountain!”
While Ye Chen was looking at the scene in front of him in a daze, an aged voice suddenly rang out!
He was very familiar with this voice!
It was the owner of this voice who had driven him out the first time he had activated the Samsara Graveyard!
At this moment, the voice was filled with excitement, as if Jiang Dao Mountain contained some great treasure that attracted him.
“What is it?” Ye Chen asked.
His guess was right. Jiang Dao Mountain definitely had some connection to the Samsara Graveyard, However, the specifics of this matter remained to be seen.
The aged voice paused for a few seconds, as if it was struggling with something.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth again and said, “Soul Suppressing and Sun Splitting…”
However, before he could finish his words, the Samsara Graveyard on the rooftop disappeared completely, and the light around the black stone also dimmed completely!
Everything returned to normal.
The black stone also slipped back into Ye Chen’s pocket.
It was as if an invisible force was restraining it.
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the mountain peak in the distance. His eyes narrowed as he muttered, “It looks like I’ll have to make the trip to Jiang Dao Mountain tomorrow. I want to know what exactly is going on there to cause such phenomena.”
At this moment, Ye Chen did not notice that on a tall building a thousand meters north of him, an old man was standing proudly with his hands behind his back. He was standing at a corner of the rooftop.
His aura was ethereal, like an immortal.
The old man was dressed in a white robe, and a wine gourd hung from his waste. His white hair seemed to speak of how ancient he was, and his deep eyes stared in Ye Chen’s direction.
“That kid from the Ye family came to Xiangjiang? How is that possible?”
“It’s been so many years, and that old man has already turned to dust. I heard that Ye Tianzheng and Jiang Rong were confined in the Ghost Prison, and that this kid had long gone missing.”
“I thought that the matter was over. At this moment, it seems that everyone is dancing on Old Man Ye’s chessboard!”
“Back then, Old Man Ye used heaven and earth as a formation and bet everything on his grandson.”
“He even used his own fate and his wife’s child’s fate to conceal this matter from the Heavenly Dao to safeguard the Ye family.”
“I laughed at him and told him that it was not worth it, but he laughed at me for not being able to understand.”
“I’m very curious if that kid called Ye Chen can really break this ancient trap.”
The old man took the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip. A mere second, he fell from a height of 100 meters and disappeared from sight..
