“Can I not say it?”

“I want you to say it even less than you do, but it concerns the inheritance of my ancient demon clan, and… there are some things you haven’t experienced personally, haven’t understood, but if you did, you would understand.” The Carrying of the Mountain’s tone became increasingly awkward.

Fang Yun couldn’t figure out what was going on. There were indeed many memory images inside, but after all, he was not from the ancient demon clan. He could see those images, but he didn’t know what many of them specifically meant.

“Can I really not say it?”

“No!” The Carrying of the Mountain’s tone suddenly turned fierce, but this fierceness was completely different from when he killed the third prince and the Demon Barbarian Saint’s son, obviously somewhat guilty.

Fang Yun sighed lightly and said, “Semi-Saint.”

“Don’t lie to me!” The Carrying of the Mountain roared angrily.

Fang Yun said helplessly, “Alright, it’s the Great Saint.”

“I knew it would be like this, why am I so unlucky! So unlucky!”

Fang Yun couldn’t help but recall some of the memory images he had seen, vaguely guessing a possibility, but he couldn’t be completely sure.

Among the ancient demons, aside from blood relations, the status below a Semi-Saint is determined by inheritance and demon rank. If one sees a Semi-Saint in the inheritance, it’s equivalent to being a Demon Clan’s saint’s son, with a high status. But if one sees a Great Saint, that status is even higher, and they will be cultivated by the entire clan with all their might.

“Can you… teach me a couple of moves?” The Carrying of the Mountain’s voice was filled with reluctance.

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled slightly and said, “I understand, but I can’t teach you through writing, and I’m not strong enough to use the ancient demon methods. Have you ever heard of a demon general teaching a great demon king?”

“We are born as demon generals! How can your human race be so weak!” The Carrying of the Mountain bellowed.

“Since I can’t do it, then let me leave. I still need to go to the sixth corridor,” Fang Yun said.

“You… when I become a saint, I will definitely find you! There aren’t many ancient demons left now, our lineage probably only has… just me. You must not die! Alright, I’ll send you directly to the exit! When I become a saint, I will definitely find you!”

A black vortex appeared behind Fang Yun, and the Mist Butterfly was also sent into his pocket by an invisible force.

Fang Yun felt himself being sucked away by a powerful force, just like when he entered. At the last moment, he shouted, “Send my friend too…”

Before Fang Yun could finish his sentence, the black vortex sucked him away.

Fang Yun opened his eyes again and found himself in front of a gate of light, the exit leading to the sixth corridor.

Fang Yun felt a movement behind him. He immediately turned around and saw one black vortex after another appear, with the humans who had entered with him, as well as Niu Shan and Quan Xi, almost simultaneously emerging from the black vortexes.

Everyone looked around blankly, finding that aside from Fang Yun, everyone was standing in a line.

“Did you bring us here?” Yan Yukong asked.

Fang Yun nodded and said, “Something happened. I just let… send you all here too.” Fang Yun did not mention The Carrying of the Mountain’s name.

However, Kong Delun said, “I encountered a Demon Clan’s saint’s son, who mentioned something called The Carrying of the Mountain, controlling the fifth corridor. You can actually command such an ancient demon, it seems we need to reassess your identity.”

“What is The Carrying of the Mountain?” Everyone looked at Kong Delun.

“A saintly wolf clan mentioned it, saying it’s an ancient demon in the fifth corridor, a trap set by the Demon Ancestor, whoever encounters him dies. Unexpectedly, not only did Fang Yun survive the encounter, but he also managed to get it to help us. The longer I know Fang Yun, the less I understand him,” Kong Delun said.

“Actually, it’s nothing, but Delun, he seems to trust you a lot,” Fang Yun immediately changed the subject.

Kong Delun said with frustration, “I told him that I would help him through the fifth corridor, and after he went to the sixth corridor, he wouldn’t help Long Ling kill you, but now… I’m at the door, and he’s still inside.”

“Then it’s just his bad luck! This is the fifth corridor, once we enter, the power of the God of Literature we receive is probably more than all the previous corridors combined. Alas, from the Floating Ice River, to the Avalanche Slope, to the Falling Star Bridge, all the way to the current maze, it’s almost always Fang Yun helping us, now we owe him a big favor!” Zong Wude said.

“Since we owe it, then we should repay it. I originally only wanted to rest after the fifth corridor, but since Long Ling wants to kill Fang Yun in the sixth corridor, then I’ll accompany Fang Yun in,” someone said.

“If the Dragon Barbarians dare to spout such nonsense, we naturally have to help Fang Yun!” Han Shoulu said.

Fang Yun scanned the crowd, and no one’s gaze was evasive.

Fang Yun gave a salute and said, “No need for more words, thank you all.”

“What’s that thing spinning around you?” Li Fanming curiously looked at the small comet orbiting Fang Yun.

The big rabbit looked enviously at the flying comet.

The comet seemed a bit shy, noticing so many people watching it, it suddenly dove into Fang Yun’s neck.

Fang Yun reached out and pulled the comet out, gave it a white eye, and said, “Don’t just dive anywhere in the future, you’re only allowed to dive into sleeves!” With that, Fang Yun stuffed the comet into his sleeve.

But the comet was unwilling, trying to rush out of the sleeve. Fang Yun slapped it hard, and it immediately stopped moving, lying lifelessly in the sleeve pocket in protest.

Fang Yun ignored it and noticed that everyone’s expressions were strange, so he said, “This new thing I picked up doesn’t know any better, sorry for the embarrassment.”

The big rabbit suddenly jumped up, looking up into Fang Yun’s sleeve, wanting to know what exactly it was.

“Brother Fang, what… what is this?”

“A flying little comet, can you find anything more miraculous?”

“But it’s really beautiful.”

“Brother Fang, you’re talking to a comet, could you be bewitched?”

Everyone stared at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun smiled helplessly and said, “This thing… is useful. Let’s go, to the next square.”

Everyone continued to stare at Fang Yun’s sleeve as they moved on.

This square was the same as before, but with two more star Demon Barbarians sitting in the corner cultivating.

Everyone felt a majestic force of the God of Literature entering their bodies, with Niu Shan and Quan Xi even excitedly howling.

Fang Yun carefully felt the power of the God of Literature, but found that it was not as strong as the God of Literature’s illumination. After absorbing it, he didn’t pay much attention and entered the World of Marvelous Books.The nameless book now had three additional pages of drawings. The first page depicted chains and a giant claw, the second a finger pointing down from the edge of the sky, and the third an elephant. Moreover, the skill of the drawings was extremely poor, resembling nothing more than a child’s scribbles.

Fang Yun tried hard to make sense of these three pages, but after a long while, he sighed lightly.

“I’ve completely forgotten, I only know that the chained claw should be in the mysterious place that Dragon Cliff leads to, and this finger and elephant must be known through the legacy of The Carrying of the Mountain, but I can’t recall the specifics of these three things, not even with the drawings in front of me. However, as my strength increases, with these three pages, I will surely remember.”

Fang Yun thought to himself, his gaze falling on the cover of the new book.

“The Astonishing Book.”

As Fang Yun flipped through it page by page, he found that the drawings here were much better than those in the nameless book. Every scene from his memory appeared on these pages, some of which were very vague in his recollection. If he could fully imprint them, they would be worthy of being the legacy of an ancient demon race, but Fang Yun knew he couldn’t imprint them unless he reached the fourth realm of the Path of Painting.

Fang Yun carefully read from beginning to end, re-memorizing everything. He knew he was not an ancient demon, not even a Demon Barbarian, and could not fully comprehend the images, but as long as he kept looking, he would eventually gain something.

Finally, Fang Yun turned his attention to the secret that The Carrying of the Mountain had told the Demon Emperor, pondering it for a good while in his heart.

Suddenly, a small meteor flew out from his sleeve, and then the starlight in the hall began to converge upon it.

The two stone lions awoke simultaneously, staring at the meteor. One of the lions turned its head towards Fang Yun.

“What’s going on? How do you have this… this thing!” The stone lion was shocked and nervous, with a hint of respect.

Fang Yun suddenly remembered that he had been sent away by The Carrying of the Mountain without asking what the meteor was. He coughed lightly and said, “It was a gift from a friend.”

“Who? Don’t tell me it’s The Carrying of the Mountain, hmph, he couldn’t possibly have this thing! You’ve hidden it deep! If you had this thing, I would have sent you directly through the third corridor. Hmph, the Comet Corridor is indeed full of surprises, a place where dragons lie hidden and tigers crouch!” The stone lion’s tone was clearly suggestive.

Seeing that the meteor indeed changed the stone lion’s attitude, Fang Yun asked, “How many dragons and tigers are there in this Comet Corridor?”

The stone lion suddenly grinned and said, “You’re also considered a dragon, but a small one. Right now, there are indeed a few small dragons and tigers in the sixth corridor, but the real big dragons and tigers are waiting in the second star city. They are the true dragons and tigers. It’s said that a foolish true dragon with too strong a talent became a demon commander just days after birth and couldn’t enter here. As a result, his famous sister sealed his power for several years, allowing him to go to the second star city this year. Otherwise, none of you would have had the chance to compete.”

“A true dragon, it’s fortunate it didn’t come.” Fang Yun was all too aware of the power of a true dragon, as he had seen the figure of a true dragon in the ancient demon legacy.

In the same rank, the Demon Barbarian of the holy race is about thirty percent stronger than the ordinary Demon Barbarian, and the holy sons born of Semi-Saints are generally thirty percent stronger than those of the holy race. The powerful ancient demons are even ten percent stronger than the holy sons, and as for the true dragons, except for a few very special ancient demons, no other race can compare.

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Lion.”

The lion opened its mouth but then closed it again, sighing, “I advise you to stay here. This thing of yours will only make that foolish Frost Hound stand by and watch, the other Demon Barbarians don’t know what it is. You’ve only neutralized one method, do you understand?”

“Thank you.” Fang Yun knew that the stone lion had reached its limit by saying this much; if it said any more, it would probably be punished by the Comet Corridor.

The stone lion nodded in satisfaction, giving Fang Yun a look that said ‘you’re not bad, kid’, but then its expression suddenly changed dramatically, and the other lion beside it disappeared without a trace.

The stone lion looked up and cursed, “Old bastard! The Demon Ancestor kindly let you avoid the calamity of the ancient demons, and now that your wings are hard, you want to run away? You scoundrel! If I could beat you, I would have thrashed you long ago!”

The stone lion’s words made many people laugh.

Suddenly, the entire Comet Corridor began to shake violently.

“Boom…”

Everyone looked in the direction the stone lion was staring at. (To be continued.)
