Chapter 979: Divine's Nest
"Take us to the Divine's Nest."
Ye Xuan directly ordered.
The six-arm Zhu Yan dared not refuse and could only comply with Ye Xuan's command, carrying the two swiftly towards the Divine's Nest.
Futian Ridge is vast, and the central area is terrifying.
But if one knows the way, it's clear that getting to the next dangerous pass, the Divine's Nest, doesn't require passing through the central area.
This time, with the six-arm Zhu Yan, Ye Xuan and Yao Yueqing no longer needed to tread step by step.
As Ye Xuan said, the ensuing journey would be much easier.
However, this was tough on the little Array Emperor accompanying the Qiankun Ancestor, complaining all the way, yet he could only follow behind the Qiankun Ancestor, quickly heading to the Divine's Nest.
Once they reach the Divine's Nest, then the ten dangerous passes would be more than half completed.
After three days, the Qiankun Ancestor and the little Array Emperor finally arrived at the easternmost of Futian Ridge, seeing from afar the golden Divine Nest resembling a giant bird's nest at the horizon.
There lay the sixth of the ten dangerous passes—Divine Nest.
Due to its nest-like appearance and the golden divine power that enveloped it, it earned its name.
Compared to other dangerous passes that appear extreme and violent, the Divine Nest seems particularly sacred, not like a dangerous pass at all but rather a Sacred Land.
Thump thump—
At this moment, a tremendous noise came from afar, like some giant fierce beast running on the ground.
"What's that?"
The little Array Emperor strained his eyes to the distance, seeing a giant monster running towards them, and couldn't help but feel a bit stunned.
The Qiankun Ancestor squinted and said, "Six-arm Zhu Yan."
"Six-arm Zhu Yan?" The little Array Emperor couldn't help but gasp, "This place even has a Taikoo anomaly?!"
"Then we better hurry up." The little Array Emperor urged.
"Why panic, wait for the master." The Qiankun Ancestor said calmly.
"Can't we just wait ahead?" The little Array Emperor rolled his eyes.
The Qiankun Ancestor pointed in the direction of the six-arm Zhu Yan.
The little Array Emperor looked and saw that at this moment, the six-arm Zhu Yan was closing in by a large margin, and he saw what seemed to be two figures on the six-arm Zhu Yan's shoulders.
The little Array Emperor was stunned: "Damn, Brother Xuan actually found such a badass mount?!"
But immediately, the little Array Emperor looked resentful and said, "Good for you, Brother Xuan, meeting privately with Fairy Yao and riding such a mighty mount, while leaving us to walk on foot, truly abominable, forgetting friends for beauty, bah!"
The Qiankun Ancestor slapped the back of the little Array Emperor's head, grumbling, "You know nothing."
The little Array Emperor winced in pain, "Ouch," rubbing the back of his head, and grumbled, "Hey, hey, which side are you on? We are supposed to endure hardship and share good times together!"
The Qiankun Ancestor cast a sidelong glance at the little Array Emperor and said exasperatedly, "Damn it, if it weren't for having to look after you, I would have been following by the master's side, why struggle on foot with you, and now you're still asking which side I stand on?"
Hearing this, the little Array Emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What crap care."
Of course, this last sentence was not spoken aloud by the little Array Emperor.
Because he knew very well that if it weren't for Qiankun Ancestor, he might have died a hundred times by now.
Within this Futian Ridge, aside from the ferocious Sky Apes, there were other terrifying fierce beasts, and on several encounters, it was the Qiankun Ancestor who stepped in to resolve them.
Otherwise, with his own power, he couldn't have made it here.
Thump thump thump—
While the two were bickering, Ye Xuan and Yao Yueqing, riding the six-arm Zhu Yan, had already arrived.
After arriving, Ye Xuan and Yao Yueqing jumped down from the six-arm Zhu Yan's shoulders.
"Master." The Qiankun Ancestor eagerly ran over.
"Brother Xuan!" The little Array Emperor also put on a smile and waved in greeting.
Ye Xuan gently waved his hand, signaling the six-arm Zhu Yan to retreat.
"Master, there's some notable change in Futian Ridge, those fierce beasts seem to be increasing in number, logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many on the outskirts of Futian Ridge..."
Upon arriving in front of Ye Xuan, the Qiankun Ancestor immediately relayed everything seen and heard along the way to Ye Xuan.
"We also encountered quite a few, but with the six-arm Zhu Yan, we faced no obstructions." Yao Yueqing couldn't help but speak.
The Qiankun Ancestor looked at Ye Xuan, his expression rather solemn.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Ignore it for now, it's urgent to head to Dao Chu Cliff."
He himself had noticed the subtle changes along the way.
The Dao Chu Ancient Land surely is bound to change.
The Qiankun Ancestor turned his gaze towards the direction of the Divine's Nest, speaking softly, "At the Divine's Nest, now seems to be a good time to travel."
"Brother Xuan, we finally meet again."
The little Array Emperor just ran up to Ye Xuan at this time.
"Explain the precautions of the Divine's Nest to them." Ye Xuan instructed the Qiankun Ancestor upon seeing the little Array Emperor arrive.
"Yes, Master." The Qiankun Ancestor respectfully agreed.
Soon, the Qiankun Ancestor began to explain to the little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing, "Divine's Nest, the sixth of the ten dangerous passes of the Dao Chu Ancient Land. Once within the range of the Divine's Nest, we all will be infused with divine power from it, this divine power is our reliance in the Divine's Nest..."
The Qiankun Ancestor explained in detail, while the little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing listened attentively.
The Divine's Nest also possesses its unique Forbidden Power.
Intruding beings entering the Divine's Nest will be infused with divine power, this divine power is their reliance within the Divine's Nest.
Whether traveling or confronting enemies, one must rely on this divine power.
If mana is used during this time, a Divine Punishment will be enacted, resulting in death and disappearance.
In the Divine's Nest, there exist many ancient gods who persist in an exceptionally unique manner, not living beings, but they attack all intruders.
If encountered, one must move quickly, avoiding these ancient gods.
If entwined by them, quick action is needed to resolve conflicts and leave the area, otherwise, as gods increase and divine power depletes, only death awaits.
"Understood?" With the explanation of the Divine's Nest's precautions complete, the Qiankun Ancestor confirmed with the little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing.
"Understood." They said in unison.
"But I have a question, how did this Divine's Nest come about? Feels like it was artificially created?" The little Array Emperor couldn't help but ask.
The Forbidden Power of the Divine's Nest is indeed peculiar, differing completely from the previous five dangerous passes.
"How would I know how it came about?" The Qiankun Ancestor couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He wanted to know too.
The little Array Emperor looked at Ye Xuan, "Brother Xuan, do you know?"
Ye Xuan gazed at the Divine's Nest, softly answering, "I vaguely know a little, hopefully, it can be resolved in the future."
The little Array Emperor shook his head, saying, "Too profound, don't understand."
"Let's go." Ye Xuan took the first step.
By now, they had reached the boundary of Futian Ridge, and the Divine's Nest was also a suitable time for travel, so they needed to move quickly.
The four continued on their journey.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the Divine's Nest, an ancient god, shrouded in Golden Light, sat quietly watching them approach with composure: "There are four foreign beings, prepare to ensnare them."
"Four foreign beings, ready to be exterminated."
"Four foreign beings? Have you forgotten how he toyed with us back in the day?!" an angry voice erupted.
The ancient deity bathed in Golden Light responded indifferently: "If it weren't for the Undying Night Emperor's presence, we wouldn't have to make such a move."
Boom boom boom—
As these words fell, several Divine Rainbows soared to the side of the Golden Light deity, and following his gaze inside the Divine's Nest.
Their eyes focused on the young man in the black robe at the front.
For a moment, they were filled with surprise and joy: "Ha ha ha ha———"
"Heaven favours us, we'll surely have our revenge for the past!"
