You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 461

At the same time, after checking the various clues collected by Jiekong during his journey, Master Mingjue told Jiekong that he might be able to learn the truth about his life by going to Qingqiu Kingdom in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After bidding farewell to Wudang Ciyin Temple, Zhong Wuye followed Jiekong's footsteps and soon embarked on a journey to southern Xinjiang. After a long and dusty journey, they finally arrived at the Southern Xinjiang Shiwan Mountains.

Surrounded by mountains, one upon another, every glance is filled with lush greenery. The entire mountain, shrouded in perpetually snow-capped peaks, stands like an age-old giant, towering between heaven and earth. Atop the peaks, the white snow reflects the dazzling sunlight, and thin clouds of mist occasionally swirl around the summit. Lush green pines and cypresses crisscross the mountainside, swaying gently in the gentle breeze. At the foot of the mountain, gurgling streams and bubbling springs flow, the clear water weaving through the cracks in the rocks, occasionally forming delightful small pools.

Just then, a burst of rich, fishy fragrance hit me. It turned out to be a large field of fiery red azaleas suddenly in full bloom. These azaleas clustered on both sides of the gurgling stream, emitting wisps of sweet fragrance, which intertwined with the clear water to emit a refreshing fragrance.

"This is the location of Qingqiu Kingdom." Jie Kong said calmly, motioning Zhong Wuye to follow.

Soon, they continued on the path leading to Qingqiu State. The path was smooth and deep, with lush forests stretching endlessly on both sides. The sound of pine trees rustled, gurgling water flowed, and occasionally, unknown birds flew through the trees, chirping. The entire forest was filled with a lush, vibrant atmosphere.

Just then, a burst of rich fragrance filled my nostrils again. A vast expanse of azaleas blossomed from the roadside woods. Some were a dazzling fiery crimson, others a delicate, elegant shade, and still others a striking blend of both colors, creating a strange and captivating hue. Among the vibrant petals, I could occasionally glimpse a few hummingbirds, as bright red as golden bells, frolicking and sipping nectar.

"This is the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it is also the foundation of our Qingqiu Kingdom." At this moment, a simple voice suddenly sounded behind Zhong Wuye.

Zhong Wuye and his companions looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged immortal in a green robe respectfully speaking.
……

This scene truly opened Zhong Wuye's eyes. Atop those strange, jagged, floating hills grew bizarre ancient trees, fragrant flowers, and immortal fruits of varying sizes. Occasionally, one or two figures in ornate attire would flash by, making one wonder if that was the abode of immortals.

Zhong Wuye couldn't help but sigh. No wonder, even though Southern Xinjiang lies between the Great Abyss and the heartland of Northern Zhou, it has remained untouched. It's because the environment here is so treacherous and magical. He sincerely sighed, realizing that the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains actually holds so many mysteries that defy common sense!
Just as he was sighing, a flash of red light suddenly appeared in the air. Then, a graceful young woman suddenly rose up and danced gracefully in the air with amazing agility, like a petite elf flying through the woods.

Just as Zhong Wuye was surprised, what he hadn't expected was that a slender boat appeared in the mountain stream behind him, gliding on the turbulent water as steady and peaceful as flowing water!
All of this really dazzled Zhong Wuye, and for a moment he was a little confused. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: It seems that these Hundred Thousand Mountains are really worthy of their reputation. They are simply a paradise hidden with many secrets!
He couldn't help but quicken his pace, eager to figure out the mystery here. And if he could find the Qingqiu Kingdom that Mingjue mentioned, perhaps he would finally be able to solve the endless doubts in his heart!
After a series of twists and turns, Zhong Wuye finally arrived at Qingqiu Kingdom in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang. This place is known as the "Homeland of Phoenix" and the scenery is as beautiful as a paradise on earth.

Dotted among the lush green trees dotting the mountains are buildings of various shapes. Some are circular, resembling magnificent palaces, while others feature pointed glazed tile roofs, resembling pagodas and temples. These structures, perched atop verdant mountaintops or nestled beside gurgling streams, blend seamlessly into their surroundings, appearing to be a work of art unto themselves.

Just as Zhong Wuye was slowly walking towards a large hall with soaring eaves and pointed corners, he saw a whirlwind suddenly rise up in front of him, and then a slender girl fell from the sky and came straight to him!
"Are you Sect Master Zhong?" The girl bowed lightly, with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Zhong Wuye then took a closer look at the girl's face. She had a face as rosy as a peach, her features as picturesque as a painting, and she wore a long, emerald green gauze dress, her waist adorned with a gold-thread butterfly-shaped ornament. Her vibrant red lips and radiantly fair skin made her look like a deity, a sight that was impossible to look away from.

"Yes, I am Sect Leader Zhong." Zhong Wuye said in surprise, "Young lady, you are so stunningly beautiful, you must be the ruler of Qingqiu Kingdom, right?"

"You are really good at talking." The girl smiled gently, with a shy look on her face.

"But you're right. I am indeed Yuan Zhen, the ruler of Qingqiu." Her expression straightened as she spoke, "Master Zhong must have something important to ask of you since you've come to our country."

Zhong Wuye knew that this might be the place that Master Mingjue had mentioned, so he raised his hand respectfully and bowed to her.

"Yes, Lord Yuanzhen. I came here to ask you a question."

After Zhong Wuye explained the whole story in detail, King Yuanzhen's expression was slightly startled.

"I see." She shook her head slightly, then nodded and sighed, "There must be some kind of indissoluble bond between you and me."

As soon as he finished speaking, several graceful girls holding swords and whips flew down from the air in front of him, landed behind Yuan Zhen, and walked slowly towards him.

"You've arrived just in time." Yuan Zhen smiled slightly and looked at the young attendants behind him: "We will immediately set off to Danzhu Kingdom to investigate the matter."

Just as Zhong Wuye was completely bewildered, the entire landscape of Qingqiu Kingdom suddenly changed! In the blink of an eye, those magnificent buildings transformed into thousands of wisps of green smoke, gradually condensing into a valiant and warlike army of the Feathered Clan!
"Master Zhong, it seems you are willing to work hand in hand with our Qingqiu Nation to solve this mystery together." Yuan Zhen murmured softly, and with a stretch of his arms, a pair of blazing red-gold phoenix wings suddenly bloomed from behind him!
Zhong Wuye was stunned and immediately bowed. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a scorching hot air wave rushing towards him from the top of a distant mountain.
When he looked up, he saw towering, bizarre buildings shaped like flames! Their fiery red reflections rippled across the surrounding lake, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene. "You, the Feathered Tribe, have finally found this place!" a resounding voice suddenly rang out, emanating from within the flaming buildings. Immediately afterwards, a figure clad in a fiery crimson fur coat slowly approached, its head ablaze with flames!
"Zhu Ning, the Lord of Yanhuo!" Yuan Zhen was slightly startled, then stepped forward and bowed. "I didn't expect you were here too."

"Hmph, so they're from the Danzhu Kingdom!" Just then, another piercing roar suddenly rang out. Zhong Wuye looked in the direction of the sound and saw another strange building shaped like a bell tower standing in the opposite direction!
Countless sharp claws made of gold actually stretched out from the bell tower, like a huge beast gazing at them hungrily!
"Qingqiu, Yanhuo, your two tribes are also here. It seems that someone from our three tribes has received the news." A listless voice sounded from the bell tower, with a sinister and weird tone.

"Could it be that someone is secretly behind all this?" Yuan Zhen frowned and pondered. She then glanced at the bell tower and the flaming building and said, "Everyone, why don't our three tribes work together and go to Danzhu Kingdom to see what's going on?"

"Very good!" Zhu Ning and the strange voice replied simultaneously. The armies of the three tribes suddenly gathered, and under Zhong Wuye's watchful gaze, they lined up and marched towards the Danzhu Kingdom!
Along the way, Zhong Wuye could occasionally see feathered attendants dancing in the sky, fire elves resting on the ground, or even invisible golden monster claws moving around.

Along the way, friction and discord between the three tribes arose, forcing Yuan Zhen to frequently intervene and mediate. When they finally reached a hidden valley within the Danzhu Kingdom, the scene before them was truly eye-opening for Zhong Wuye!
It turned out that there were countless majestic and magnificent hills standing there, and between these hills, strange vegetation resembling vines grew!
"Oh, is there another outsider disturbing us?" Just as Zhong Wuye was wondering, a frivolous voice came from inside. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes and a frivolous look leaning against a pile of tangled vines.

"Lord Yuan Zhen, it's been ages since we last met." The Danzhu woman curled her lips at Yuan Zhen with a charming smile. "You've even brought so many friends with you to visit us. It really makes me feel embarrassed."

Just as Yuan Zhen was about to respond, the Danzhu woman suddenly stood up and flicked her sleeves. Suddenly, the surrounding vines came alive and began to swarm over him!
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Zhen waved her arms, and suddenly a whirlwind suddenly rolled up, blowing away all the vines. She said solemnly: "Xia Luyin, don't tell me you are also involved in this dispute!"

"Oh? You already knew that?" The Danzhu woman named Xia Luyin smiled sweetly. She waved her hand lightly, and more vines suddenly emerged from the ground, winding around to form a huge spherical structure.

"I have no idea what nonsense you are talking about!" She sighed lightly, and the vine ball suddenly cracked open. A gorgeous woman came out from inside, squinting her eyes like a scarlet poisonous snake and staring at everyone.

"Zhu Ning, the Lord of Yanhuo Country, and Yuan Zhen from your Qingqiu and Fu Xi from Bi'an Country, you have also come to our Danzhu Country. What a coincidence!" The woman smiled frivolously, but with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

It turned out that she was none other than Baxia, the ruler of Danzhu State! Zhong Wuye was shocked and thought to himself: How come the rulers of these three demonic states have gathered here?
"Baxia!" Yuan Zhen flapped his wings and flashed before her. She said solemnly, "There must be some conspiracy here. Otherwise, the three kingdoms have always had a good relationship. You and I both know this."

"That's right. Our three tribes have always lived in harmony." Fuxi of the Bi'an Kingdom also poked his head out from the bell tower, his ferocious face revealing a somewhat strange expression. "Otherwise, wouldn't I have to secretly instigate a quarrel among you?"

"You!" Ba Xia and Zhu Ning's expressions changed, and they were obviously awakened by these words.

"Hmph, if we each fight alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with those behind the scenes." Fuxi said grimly, "Why don't we just join hands and eradicate those scum together?"

"It makes sense." Zhu Ning pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Okay then." Ba Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, obviously knowing in his heart that this was the best of both worlds.

Just like that, under the witness of Zhong Wuye, the rulers of the three major demon countries looked at each other sincerely, and finally reached a temporary consensus on cooperation in this secret valley.

In the next few days, Zhong Wuye witnessed with his own eyes how the armies of the three major ethnic groups merged and worked together to break through the vine hills in Danzhu territory inch by inch and penetrate deep into them.

When they finally reached the center of the area, the scene before them once again shocked Zhong Wuye!
It turned out that there stood strange ruins shaped like clock towers. And around these ruins, countless winding vines were covered with strange buds shaped like demonic flowers!
"No wonder all those clues point to here." Yuan Zhen looked solemn. She walked slowly forward, clasped her hands together, and suddenly countless wings of light condensed in her hands.

"Then let me do it." Zhu Ning took a step forward, and a fiery red dragon tail suddenly extended from behind her. This was her true form!
Next, Zhong Wuye witnessed how the three demon tribes exhausted all their magical powers to barely tear open the strange vine buds. When the cores of the buds were completely exposed to the air, they saw three corpses of different shapes standing inside!
"Could this be..." Zhong Wuye was shocked, secretly wondering if these three remains were the bodies of the three gods and demons that wandered into the human world back then!
As expected, Yuan Zhen, Zhu Ning and Fu Xi were all shocked the moment they saw the remains.

"If that's true, the remains of the gods and demons Baxia, Bi'an and Fuxi are actually hidden here!" Yuan Zhen slowly exhaled, his face extremely solemn.

"Although we are a demon race, we are also the inheritors of the legacy of gods and Buddhas. It is truly an honor to be able to see such precious remains of gods." Zhu Ning's eyes also sparkled, and he knelt respectfully in front of the remains.

Fuxi said strangely, "So this is the conspiracy of those false gods back then! Fortunately, our three tribes worked together to completely destroy their plan!"

In this way, the three great demon clans finally solved the mysteries in their hearts in this hidden place and finally found their most precious ancestral bones. Everything Zhong Wuye witnessed with his own eyes will eventually become the final piece of the puzzle to solve the mystery of his life!
