The Northern Wilderness Hill was located at the central region of the Great Thousand World. During the Primordial Age, a vast supercontinent used to exist on this piece of land, which was known as the Northern Wilderness Continent.

During the Primordial Age, the Northern Wilderness Continent was the most bustling region in the Great Thousand World. However, when the Extraterritorial Race invaded the Great Thousand World, the Great Thousand World suffered one defeat after another.

Then, at the crucial moment, the Immortal Emperor stepped out and formed the Great Thousand Alliance with the forces and clans of the Great Thousand World. He then set up the Great Thousand Palace and worked with his new allies to fend off the Extraterritorial Race and prevent the Great Thousand World from imploding.

After the final fight between the Extraterritorial Race and the Great Thousand World, the Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Evil Deity fought at the Northern Wilderness Continent, where they smashed up the continent entirely, leaving nothing but ruins.

The final fight ended with the Heavenly Evil Deity being sealed up by the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor then left behind the Gravekeepers at the Northern Wilderness Hill, sealed off the area, and prevented anyone from going near it. Even a Heavenly Sovereign would not dare set foot in such a dangerous zone, let alone ordinary people!

To this day, the only time when the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World gathered at the Northern Wilderness Hill was when the Great Thousand Palace sent out the invitations to invite them to the Great Thousand Alliance. They then joined forces to activate the seal that had been left behind by the Immortal Emperor to destroy the lifeforce of the Heavenly Evil Deity.

Since the ordinary forces and the ordinary people in the Great Thousand World were unable to participate in the prestigious Great Thousand Alliance, they did not know the significance of it. Specifically, the peace of the entire Great Thousand World depended on it, and the slightest negligence could cause the Great Thousand World to be destroyed!

After all, the people still vividly remembered the fear that the Heavenly Evil Deity had inflicted upon all of the Great Thousand World’s citizens. Even after several thousands of years, it was still fresh in their memories.

Back then, the Immortal Emperor had sacrificed his life in order to seal the Heavenly Evil Deity. If they had allowed the Heavenly Evil Deity to escape from the seal, there would be no Immortal Emperor to tame him at present…

“Is this the Northern Wilderness Hill?” a voice echoed the question, while the three streamers tore through the space and saw a devastated continent before them.

The continent looked run-down and was a reddish color. Although the destruction had happened a long time ago, the continent was still filled with a tragic aura.

The three streamers withdrew their spiritual lights to reveal their true forms. They were Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing, and Luo Li.

Mu Chen looked at the continent curiously. He was very interested in this place, as it was where the legendary Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Evil Deity had fought. Qing Yanjing nodded in response to the question.

She had a grave look facial expression as she looked at the Northern Wilderness Hill. She could still feel the horrifying aura that had been left behind.

“This place is frightening,” Mu Chen exclaimed.

He then fixed his gaze on the red ground, as he could feel an indescribably dangerous aura exuding from it. This aura caused fear to well up in his heart.

“This is the place where the Heavenly Evil Deity was sealed. This place is still filled with the power that he left behind. Fortunately, it has been suppressed by the array that the Immortal Emperor set up. If he had not done this, even a Divine Heavenly Sovereign would not have the audacity to step into this Northern Wilderness Hill!” Qing Yanjing said as she glanced at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded, and just as he was about to open his mouth, something caught his attention. He lifted up his head to look into the distance.

There, he saw several shadows dart out amid the howling gale. These people exuded strong spiritual energy fluctuations that could only belong to Heavenly Sovereigns. Apparently, the masters who had received the Great Thousand Invitation were already making their ways here.

The few Heavenly Sovereigns noticed Mu Chen and his companions immediately, and after taking a good look at them, they were filled with fear and respect for them. They cupped their fists from afar and turned into streamers, then headed toward the Northern Wilderness Hill.

“It looks like I have become famous in the Great Thousand World.” Mu Chen smiled as he looked at them. He could sense their fear and respect for him, which led him to think that they had recognized the trio.

“They must be filled with fear and respect for Aunt Jing, which has nothing to do with you!” Luo Li pouted as she teased Mu Chen. After all, she couldn’t let Mu Chen get a big head!

Mu Chen was taken aback, so he pretended to glare at Luo Li. However, Luo Li was not afraid of him, so she started to giggle, which tickled Mu Chen.

Qing Yanjing smiled as she watched the couple teasing each other. She then said, “Mu Chen is indeed famous now. He created quite a stir at the Maha Continent, and now all of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World know that even Maha Tian’s hands are tied against this successor of the Primordial Immortal Body!”

When Mu Chen heard this, he laughed out loud. He couldn’t care less about his reputation or fame. He had just wanted to tease Luo Li!

“Come, let’s join the others.” Mu Chen waved his hand as he took the lead and headed toward the Northern Wilderness Hill.

Once he was high up in the sky, he suddenly stopped moving, his expression turning grave. He could feel a horrifying oppression within the void.

“Be careful. The is the sealing array that the Immortal Emperor left behind,” Qing Yanjing said in a serious tone. “This sealing array is not only able to seal the Heavenly Evil Deity, but it also protects the Northern Wilderness Hill. If anyone from the Extraterritorial Race gets near it, he will be killed by the sealing array! As for us, we just have to relax and protect ourselves with our spiritual energy.”

When Mu Chen heard this, the spiritual light around him surged to protect his body. He then felt the horrifying oppression dissipating, which caused him to heave a huge sigh of relief.

“The force is so horrifying! With such a powerful method of protection, the Extraterritorial Race surely would not have the audacity to come here!” Mu Chen exclaimed.

Qing Yanjing shook her head and said, “The Extraterritorial Race is full of tricks. Although the power of the sealing array is mighty, the people from the Extraterritorial Race are no weaklings. Hence, we must not underestimate them.”

Mu Chen nodded. At this moment, they were above the Northern Wilderness Hill, and when he looked down, he was stunned. He saw that the hills were set up as graves, and they were scattered around the ruined ground. There were so many of them, that they stretched out as far as one’s eyes could see.

“These are the graves of the masters who died in the Primordial War,” Qing Yanjing said with a grim look.

Mu Chen’s expression turned grave as well. In order to protect the Great Thousand World, these masters had lost their lives. As such, they deserved the respect of the younger generation, including Mu Chen.

Swoosh!

As Mu Chen was thinking about their sacrifices, two grey lights suddenly shot toward his small group. In just a short while, the two grey lights appeared in front of them and revealed their true forms. They were two middle-aged men, both of whom were robed in grey.

The two men were skinny and showed no emotion on their faces. Judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations that they were exuding from their bodies, they both appeared to be at the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level.

“Greetings, First Elder Qing Yanjing, Mu Chen Estate Master, and Holy Maiden Luo Li,” one of the two men said, as they both cupped their fists at the trio.

Mu Chen looked at the two men’s chests and saw pictures of graves embroidered on their robes. As a light flashed across Mu Chen’s eyes, he realized that these two people were the Gravekeepers of the Northern Wilderness Hill.

It was rumored that these Gravekeepers were directly under the Immortal Emperor’s command. After the Immortal Emperor passed away, they had stayed in the Northern Wilderness Hill to guard the seal.

In terms of strength, even the five ancient clans were inferior to these Gravekeepers. They had abided by the order given them and had never stepped out of the Northern Wilderness Hill. This had gained Mu Chen’s respect, which is why he was behaving politely towards them at the moment.

“Please follow us.” The two Gravekeepers remained indifferent, but when they looked past Mu Chen, they revealed some strange fluctuations.

However, neither of them said another word, but just turned around and headed deep into the Northern Wilderness Hill. Mu Chen and his companions immediately followed them.

The group flew past many graves, and after flying more than 10 minutes, the two Gravekeepers started to slow, then both headed downward. When Mu Chen looked down, he saw a huge black square below them.

Several large, black beams were standing on the ground, and as Mu Chen and the rest came nearer to them, he was shocked. He realized that these were not black beams, were coffins that were made of Paulownia wood! These coffins seemed to be nailed to the black square, which had a strange fluctuation exuding from it.

As Mu Chen looked past the coffins, images of their locations and connections appeared in his mind. Following that, a powerful Array Map gradually appeared in his mind as well.

Mu Chen gasped as he realized that these coffins were actually the sealing array that the Immortal Emperor had left behind! This meant that the Heavenly Evil Deity was sealed under his feet, just below the black square!
