Early in the morning, Shi Jiu quietly left the inn and rode straight to the Cloud Mountains.

At the same time as Shi Jiu left, in the other direction of the town, Miss Yan'er of Feng Bao Zhai, whom Shi Jiu had seen last night, and some other people that Shi Jiu had never seen gathered in an open space, everyone looked at each other, looking excited, and looked into the distance from time to time, as if they were expecting something.

Shi Jiu didn't know what was happening here, and now he had only one target: the Five Underground Halls located in the hinterland of the Covered Cloud Mountain Range.

Yunshan Town was very close to the Covering Cloud Mountain Range, and it didn't take long for Shi Jiu to come to the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the majestic and majestic huge mountain range, Shi Jiu couldn't help but sigh, although he had been reborn in this underworld for a while, and the tall and majestic mountain ranges he had seen were not few, but compared to the towering Cloud Covering Mountain Range in front of him, it was obviously nothing more than that. Shi Jiu had a feeling that this Cloud Covering Mountain Range had a special majesty, and all those who looked up at it would feel like an insignificant ant, and they would feel a sense of awe.

"Little one, do you think this Cloud Covered Mountain Range is very special?" At this time, the voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor sounded.

"Well, this Cloud-Covered Mountain Range is so majestic, I feel like a speck of dust, insignificant in front of it." Shi Jiu replied truthfully, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"It's normal for you to have this kind of thought, in fact, this Cloud Covering Mountain Range was transformed by a great power tens of thousands of years ago, which is why it has the majesty and inexplicable majesty it has now." The Great Red Sword Emperor looked up at the Cloud Covering Mountain Range, with a yearning look on his face.

What? This Cloud Covering Mountain Range has been transformed by people, so that it has its current majesty? Shi Jiu couldn't believe it, who could have such a means to change the entire mountain range? Even a soul realm powerhouse shouldn't be able to do it, right?

"Sword Emperor senior, who has such a great ability to transform such a mountain range? I'm afraid that it's not a soul realm powerhouse, right? Shi Jiu immediately asked the question in his heart, eager to know the answer.

The Great Red Sword Emperor turned his head to look at Shi Jiu, and then said as a matter of course: "Naturally, he is not a soul realm powerhouse, that is much stronger than a soul realm powerhouse, and he can only be done by cultivating to an extremely terrifying power, as for his name, the people at that time called him the Cloud Covering Venerable." ”

Hearing this, Shi Jiu's heart was also shocked.

You must know that the Lanhai County where Shi Jiu is now located and the strongest people in Tianyou County before are only at the peak of the Soul Realm, and none of the Soul Realm powerhouses are gone, of course, this has to exclude the Great Red Sword Emperor around him, and now hearing about an existence that is even more powerful and terrifying than the Soul Realm powerhouse, Shi Jiu's heart is full of shock, and at the same time there is a trace of yearning and longing.

At this time, Shi Jiu thought of a question, "Where is the Floating Cloud Venerable now?" Why haven't you heard of it? ”

"Alas, when I was still alive, Venerable Floating Cloud had already disappeared for ten thousand years, let alone now? No one knows where he went, maybe dead. Speaking of this, the Great Red Sword Emperor showed a faint sense of disappointment, and after a while, the Sword Emperor's predecessor said again: "The path of cultivation is to go against the sky, full of difficulties and obstacles, no matter how powerful the existence is, there are also crises and sad obstacles, so you must maintain a heart of awe at all times." ”

Shi Jiu nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's continue to look for it, the five underground halls should not be far away." The Great Red Sword Emperor said.

So, Shi Jiu closed his eyes and his mind entered his own sea of nervous knowledge.

After a while, Shi Jiu found the map of the five doors suspended in his own sea. As soon as Shi Jiu approached, the map automatically unfolded and appeared in front of Shi Jiu. Shi Jiu was not polite, and immediately watched carefully.

Five minutes later, Shi Jiu returned to his main body, and then rode his horse to the location marked on the map.

Half an hour later, Shi Jiu came to a waterhole.

This is supposed to be the entrance marked on the map, but as far as the eye can see, except for a waterhole, that is, a rocky cliff, and among the green trees, there is no mountain gate or secret door.

Shi Jiu walked back and forth here, and carefully searched for possible entrances with his divine sense, but was still disappointed, and found no secret doors or tunnels.

"Little one, you seem to have forgotten a place, right?" The Great Red Sword Emperor pointed to the waterhole in front of him.

Hearing this, Shi Jiu looked in the direction of the Sword Emperor's finger.

"yes, how did I forget about this waterhole!" Shi Jiu was a little annoyed.

Shi Jiu once left the Soul Splash Cave along the secret passage of the water pool, and then entered it again through the secret passage of the water pool, and met the Great Red Sword Emperor in the Soul Splash Cave.

In that case, it's easy to do.

Shi Jiu took out the sheepskin bag that he had used to go to the waterhole before, blew enough air into it, then changed into a set of water clothes, then took a deep breath, and plunged into the waterhole.

The deeper the water in the waterhole goes, the colder it gets, but fortunately, Shi Jiu's strength is much stronger now than before, and this cold has no effect on him.

Shi Jiu turned on his divine sense, and then swam quickly against the direction of the underwater current.

Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu emerged from the water, and at this time he was already in the belly of the mountain.

There are some similarities to the Splash Soul Cave, where there is a dark river in the belly of the mountain and then flows out of the mountain. After Shi Jiu went ashore, he first changed into clean clothes, then lit a torch, and then walked forward along the dark river.

After a while, a tall stone gate appeared in front of Shi Jiu's eyes.

The stone door had been wide open, and it was covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs, and in addition, various criss-crossing ravines could be seen, even if it was covered with dust and cobwebs, Shi Jiu could still tell that it was the traces left by various swords.

At this time, Shi Jiu's mood sank, the stone door was wide open, and traces of various fights could be seen, which meant that this place had been taken care of, and the things inside were not ......

"Don't think too much about it, just go in and have a look, right? Also, I don't think it's easy to get hold of anything good here, because it's a secret stronghold of the Five Gates. The Great Red Sword Emperor saw Shi Jiu's mentality and comforted.

The Great Red Sword Emperor's words worked, and Shi Jiu regained his mood, then raised his torch and walked towards the stone gate.

As soon as he entered the door, Shi Jiu saw dense bones and various weapons, although he was prepared after seeing the traces on the stone door before, but when he really saw the scene inside, Shi Jiu was still shocked, there had been a big battle here, and too many people had died.

Most of the corpses here have been petrified, some have long since turned into powder, and most of them have been buried by dust, and there is not a single intact skeleton in sight, even cold weapons such as swords have rotted, and none of them are intact.

"These corpses are thousands of years old, and I estimate that most of them were discovered by the opponents of the Five Doors back then, and then there was a big battle here, and so many people died." The Great Red Sword Emperor analyzed on the side.

Shi Jiu didn't stop and continued to walk forward. Except for all kinds of bones, there are broken weapons here, and there is nothing worth exciting.

At the end, Shi Jiu saw a hole three or four meters high, and there was no door to enter directly.

Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the Great Red Sword Emperor on the side.

"Wait a minute, you use your Divine Sense to probe ahead." The Great Red Sword Emperor suddenly said.

Although Shi Jiu had doubts, he still complied.

"Huh? My consciousness can't even get to the front? Wait, this is a ban? After his divine sense was blocked, after thinking about it for a while, Shi Jiu guessed that there was a prohibition at the entrance of the cave in front of him.

"Little one, you have to be vigilant at all times when exploring this kind of ruin cave. Because you've turned on your consciousness, you're much safer than everyone else, but you can't be careless. The Great Red Sword Emperor reminded.

"Thank you senior, kid remember." Shi Jiu bowed his head in gratitude.

At this time, Shi Jiu also made a difficulty, there was a ban, so how should he pass? Could it be like the last time in the other ruins of the Five Gates in the Mine Ancient Mountain Range, forcibly breaking the barrier ban? At that time, there were only two elders of the Central Realm who forcibly opened it when the prohibition was loosened, could they do it themselves?

Shi Jiu shook his head and rejected the idea of forcibly breaking the ban, this trick would not work at all with the cultivation of his own Qi Realm.

After thinking for a while, Shi Jiu took out the five tokens placed in the Sumeru space, which were the tokens of the five doors themselves, and there was also a map of this place hidden in it, maybe he could open this prohibition.

With the mentality of trying it out, Shi Jiu took the token, and then slowly approached the hole in front of him.

Soon, there was movement ahead, and just as the token was about to approach the entrance of the cave, the originally empty hole suddenly rippled, spreading out like water ripples, and showing a transparent shape.

"Put your hand in there and see if you can get through." The Great Red Sword Emperor on the side suggested.

Then, Shi Jiu slowly stretched forward the hand holding the token, and when he encountered the transparent prohibition again, he was not hindered, and he smoothly put his hand in.

And it worked! So, Shi Jiu took the courage to step forward with his whole body.

When Shi Jiu's whole person passed through, the prohibition behind him returned to calm and disappeared again.
