However, Yang Qi obviously would not give up the spiritual fruits and spirit fruits he encountered along the way. After all, these things themselves did not pose any danger, so he could just collect them directly.
In this way, an unknown amount of time passed. Yang Qi, who was heading towards the depths of Xuankong Mountain, suddenly changed his expression and even slowed down his pace.
"This is… "
Feeling the pressure on his body, Yang Qi's expression could not help but condense, and he said in a deep voice, "Is this the limitation of Xuankong Mountain? No wonder there are almost no practitioners who can go to the ruins on the top of the mountain, and there are no relevant records."
If Xuankong Mountain itself had no restrictions, it would not be difficult for a cultivator to reach the top of the mountain. It would only take a little time. Although there were not many cultivators at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor in the Endless Universe, they had accumulated over a long period of time and their number was not small.
With so many Martial Emperor peak third-level practitioners, it stands to reason that the records of the top of Xuankong Mountain should not be blank.
The reason for this situation is the limitations of Xuankong Mountain itself, which makes it extremely difficult for practitioners to reach the top of Xuankong Mountain. Naturally, there are no records in this regard.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi continued to move towards the top of the mountain. Although the pressure was quite powerful, it was not enough to cause any trouble to Yang Qi.
"This is… "
However, after just walking forward for a moment, Yang Qi felt a slight unusual fluctuation. This was a fluctuation caused by the restriction. It was also the first time that Yang Qi felt a similar fluctuation since entering Xuankong Mountain.
"A cultivator's cave has appeared!"
Sensing the fluctuation of the restriction, Yang Qi immediately guessed that there might be a cave left by a cultivator nearby.
Whoosh~
Immediately, Yang Qi moved towards the location where the restriction wavered. After a moment, he arrived in front of a cave.
"Martial Emperor Realm?"
Sensing the power emanating from the cave, Yang Qi's face was filled with disappointment. The fluctuations emanating from the cave before him were merely at the Martial Emperor level.
Even that power was not as strong as Yang Qi's own power, which also meant that the cultivator who stayed in the cave in front of him might not be as strong and capable as Yang Qi.
The relics left behind by such practitioners could hardly be of any help to Yang Qi, so he was so disappointed after seeing the cave.
However, Yang Qi was not an ordinary person after all, and he recovered quickly, moved his body, and flew directly towards the cave. Although the cave in front of him was unlikely to have any opportunities that would help Yang Qi, it was the first cave left by a cultivator that Yang Qi had seen in Xuankong Mountain.
Through the cave in front of him, perhaps he could gain some understanding of Xuankong Mountain, which might be helpful for Yang Qi to go deeper into Xuankong Mountain and reach the top of Xuankong Mountain to get opportunities. Therefore, Yang Qi would try to enter the cave in front of him without hesitation.
Bang!
However, just before Yang Qi arrived at the entrance of the cave, he was blocked by an invisible barrier and could not enter the cave at all.
"Can't get in?" After trying again, Yang Qi's face couldn't help but darken. This was a situation he had not expected.
The owner of the cave in front of him might not be as strong and capable as him, but he didn't expect that he couldn't enter the other party's cave. After all, with Yang Qi's strength and means, he could even forcibly break the restrictions on the other party's cave.
However, after being blocked by the cave's restriction, Yang Qi did not do so. Yang Qi could indeed force his way into the cave in front of him. But there was not only one cave in front of him, but also many more caves, and even caves left by more powerful beings.
If Yang Qi dared to destroy the cave in front of him, he would be punished by the owner of Xuankong Mountain immediately, which he absolutely did not want to do. So after being blocked outside the cave, Yang Qi could only accept it and turned to head towards the depths of Xuankong Mountain.
Next, Yang Qi encountered two more caves, both of which were left behind by Martial Emperor-level practitioners. However, like the previous caves, Yang Qi was unable to enter these two caves.
In this way, Yang Qi finally succeeded in entering the fourth cave. The cave master set only one test, which was to examine the talent and potential of the cultivator.
Yang Qi's own talent and potential are definitely the best among practitioners of the same level. Such a test will naturally not be difficult for Yang Qi.
"The Ultimate Martial Emperor!"
After passing the test of the cave master, Yang Qi finally realized the strength and means of the cave master, who was at the ultimate Martial Emperor level. This made him understand that in the ruins of Xuankong Mountain, it might be impossible for a cultivator to enter a cave whose cultivation level was lower than his own.
"I didn't expect that the ruins of Xuankong Mountain have such restrictions!" Yang Qi sighed in his heart. This was something he had never thought of before.
However, this is not a bad thing for practitioners. After all, the opportunities left by practitioners whose cultivation level is not as good as their own will often be of very limited help to practitioners.
Although Yang Qi only gained a piece of inherited memory in the cave before him, it also allowed Yang Qi to have some understanding of the Xuankong Mountain in front of him, which was good news.
In this way, Yang Qi continued to go deeper into Xuankong Mountain. After walking for an unknown distance, Yang Qi suddenly felt that the pressure on his body began to increase.
"The pressure from the top of the mountain is getting stronger!"
Yang Qi's expression froze. Even with his strength and means, he felt uncomfortable resisting the might coming from the top of the mountain. If it were an ordinary Martial Emperor at the third level, he would probably have a hard time resisting.
Yang Qi looked towards the top of the mountain, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "We are still a long way from the top of the mountain. The might here is already a bit difficult for a cultivator at the third level of the Martial Emperor to resist. If we continue to go up..."
It is still such a long distance away. If the pressure from the top of the mountain continues to increase, even Yang Qi would not be able to withstand it.
Even Yang Qi didn't dare to say that he was sure to reach the top of the mountain, let alone other practitioners at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. The difficulty of climbing to the top of the mountain was far greater than Yang Qi had expected.
This also made Yang Qi understand why the practitioners in history did not leave any information about Xuankong Mountain. It was really because there was no need to leave any information about the previous opportunities. The gains from those opportunities in any ruins in the chaotic world would not be worse than this.
As for the deeper areas of Xuankong Mountain, there might be more precious opportunities, but the problem is that it is extremely difficult for practitioners at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor to reach these places. It is difficult to even reach them, let alone obtain any precious opportunities.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "This relic in Xuankong Mountain is probably prepared for practitioners at the Ultimate Martial Emperor level."
Below the Martial Saint Realm, the most powerful are not the third level practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, but the practitioners at the Ultimate Martial Emperor level. Of the nine source universes, the other eight source universes have practitioners at the Ultimate Martial Emperor level, but the Endless Universe has not yet produced a true Ultimate Martial Emperor.
