I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 715 The Holy Mountain Opens

Su Hongxiu, Shen Guili, and the others were also staring at the Spider Queen. They probably guessed that the demons Ye Kang killed must have been the Spider Queen's subordinates.

Ye Kang himself felt a chill run through him; the old spider seemed very angry.

But the Spider Queen then looked away and said quietly, "How lively! Why didn't you all inform the three of us? We've been looking for you for ages."

No one spoke. The demon kings of the Thousand Poison Swamp were all ruthless and cruel, and no one was willing to communicate with them.

The Spider Queen didn't mind, and sat down on the spot, her two long legs lying flat on the grass, her graceful figure making people drool.

On the other side, the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor and the White Ape Demon Emperor both snorted coldly.

The Thousand-Legged Demon King said, "We sincerely want to cooperate, but you are just stammering. What kind of humans are you? You are nothing but a bunch of rats."

"What did you say!"

Someone immediately roared in anger, but the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor crossed his arms, his muscles bulging, and looked up disdainfully, saying, "What? Am I wrong?"

"This is our human race's secret realm! Letting you in is already an act of kindness, yet you dare to spout nonsense here!"

"Alright, shut up. Since we're here, let's work together to overcome this challenge. Instead of wasting time arguing here, let's rest a bit more."

Lin Donghong raised his hand to stop them from arguing any further.

The Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor chuckled evilly and sat down.

Then came a long silence, until night fell and dawn broke.

With only a quarter of an hour left before the sacred mountain opened, everyone opened their eyes at the same time and stood up.

Auras rose up, obscuring the sky and the sun, secretly vying for power.

True energy swirled, demonic clouds billowed, and everyone raised their aura to its peak, preparing to challenge for the top spot.

Ye Kang also stood up, but there was a look of confusion in his eyes.

Seeing him looking around, Shen Guili transmitted her voice and said, "I don't understand why everyone is arguing about the order of precedence?"

"This junior is foolish," Ye Kang quickly replied.

Shen Guili continued, "It's normal that you don't understand the Divine Palace. The Holy Mountain and the Divine Palace together have six levels, and each level has a reward for those who are the first to reach it. Those who are the first to reach it will definitely have more opportunities than others."

"There's such a rule?!"

"This is the power of a Dao Integration expert. They have merged with Dao traces and have mastered a portion of the true Dao trace rules. Within the Dao Integration realm, their rules are the strongest weapons. The Dao Integration Holy Land is also built upon these rules. Since our cultivation is insufficient, we must obey them."

Ye Kang nodded, seemingly understanding.

The Dao Integration Realm is indeed terrifying; even after so many years of death, the rules it left behind remain indestructible.

No wonder everyone values ​​the top spot so much; after all, there are significant benefits to being the first to reach the top.

Was Ke Yuanzhou at the Dao Integration Realm during his lifetime?

I haven't asked him before, but I'll ask him more when he wakes up.

Ye Kang couldn't help but think of Ke Yuanzhou, the great genius from 100,000 years ago. In order to pave the way for himself, he exhausted all his power. If he couldn't find a treasure to repair his remnant soul, he would never wake up.

Shen Guili's voice rang out again: "Relax your mind later, and I'll take you to the first level."

"You can even bring people along!"

"Yes, a maximum of two people can be the first to reach the top at the same time. However, only the first round is a pure speed contest. After the first round, you'd better watch out, as we don't have the extra energy to take care of you."

"Thank you, General, but I have a question..."

"You want to ask me why I'm taking care of you?"

"Yes. There are many talented people within the Three Offices. Shouldn't the General give them priority?"

"You're right, but I can do whatever I want without needing so many reasons."

Shen Guili turned and glanced at Ye Kang, his eyes filled with determination and confidence.

He helped Ye Kang out of curiosity, just to see if the general's judgment was accurate.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang didn't say much, but simply bowed again to express his gratitude.

At this moment, a loud boom suddenly came from Mount Zaro, followed by a transparent array of light waves that rippled outwards.

As the Holy Mountain Formation activated, everyone's eyes lit up simultaneously, and the experts rushed out at the same time, without even a word of discussion, vying to be first.

Ye Kang was also lifted up by Shen Guili, like a little chick, and felt an extremely fast speed.

This was a speed he had never seen before, as if he had fallen into a black hole, making it extremely difficult to even open his eyes.

If it weren't for his strong physique, his bones might have been broken at such incredible speed.

However, he still forcibly activated the Azure Eyes of Innocent Delusion, using supernatural powers to observe the surrounding situation.

Mount Zaro is much larger than it appears. In other words, from the outside it looks like just one mountain, but once you go inside, you find that it is an entire mountain range, and it is just as big as it looks. There are alpine meadows and all kinds of geographical environments, and even the height is unprecedented, reaching straight into the clouds.

The first challenge is to ascend 6,000 meters from the foot of the mountain to reach the mountainside.

Although it's called the mountainside, it's actually only slightly higher than the foot of the sacred mountain.

The entrance to the first pass is a straight line along the meadow on the mountainside. Entering the alpine meadow area means entering the first pass.

At this moment, all the experts rushed towards that straight line. Ye Kang could see several auras attacking each other around him.

"Old man! Get out of the way!"

A martial arts practitioner roared and slashed at Lin Donghong with his sword.

Lin Donghong snorted coldly, his thick robe billowing in the wind, and his powerful true energy transformed into a hawk that flew out, directly shattering the sword energy and incidentally affecting the man's path.

On the other side, Su Hongxiu and the two deans were also close behind, and were entangled with the supervisory general Cai Qingyang.

Cai Qingyang, also short-tempered, brandished his halberd and roared, "Su Hongxiu! Don't bother me!"

"Hahaha! Little Qingyang, it's been a while, and you've really grown up! You even dare to disobey your great-aunt!"

"Go away!"

The two fought fiercely, yet their speed was by no means slow.

Behind them, a group of people in the second tier of strength were also vying for the prize: the two lords of Plum Sword Manor, other martial arts figures, the captains and lieutenants of the Three Prefectures, the teachers of the academy, and the Spider Queen.

The Spider King is very strong, but its speed is indeed a weakness. Even if it goes all out, it can only be placed in the second tier.

However, the Ape King and the Thousand-Legged King both transformed into their original forms.

They are a giant white ape over two hundred feet tall and a millipede five hundred feet long.

Using their physical advantages, the two sped forward, kicking up countless rocks and blocking the crowd behind them.

Even so, the two demon emperors still lagged behind Shen Guili.

Ye Kang was terrified; Shen Guili's speed was simply beyond human comprehension.

He did it so casually, as if he hadn't exerted any effort at all, that he could easily leave everyone behind.

Even more terrifying, he was also carrying Ye Kang in his hand.
