Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

"Chu Qin, I want to go too!" At this moment, another voice rang out.

```

```

Just then, an old man and a young woman walked into the room together, it was Xuanwu Celestial and Long Xue.

```

```

"Xiao Xue, Senior Xuanwu." Chu Qin's eyebrows raised slightly.

```

```

"Chu Qin, I've heard it all. You're going to the Sanctuary and thought to hide it from us, that won't do!" Xue'er's eyebrows were tightly knitted.

```

```

"Xue'er, we're not going there to have fun. We must travel on the Ancient Road to reach the Sanctuary, which is indeed somewhat dangerous." Chu Qin heaved a slight sigh.

```

```

"Then I must go all the more." Long Xue said, "Chu Qin, you're always concerned for our safety, but do you think we're not worried about you? I can only rest assured being by your side. Having absorbed the power from the Immortal-Rank Cave Mansion, I have reached the Earthly Sovereign Peak, just like Qiancheng."

```

```

"Alright, I can't argue with you. The two of you will follow me!"

```

```

"Lord Chu Qin, you're taking that Ancient Road!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun exclaimed in shock.

```

```

"Xuan Wu Tian Zun, do you know of that road?" Chu Qin asked.

```

```

Xuan Wu Tian Zun shook his head, "Legend has it that between the Sanctuary and Infinite Heavens, an Ancient Road exists, but no one has ever gone in to explore it. It's said that the road was forged by invaders from the Ancient Era, and it harbors hidden dangers."

```

```

"It's the Blood Demon Fiend; I am already aware." Chu Qin responded with a smile, "Rest assured, Xuan Wu Tian Zun, I have advanced to the Pseudo Celestial Venerable Realm. Even if there are Blood Demon Fiends on the Ancient Road, as long as it's not the Blood Fiend Tyrant King or Lord of Blood Demon Sha, I have nothing to fear. Besides, I have my own methods of escape!"

```

```

"Xuan Wu Tian Zun, there's no need for you to go. Leave Xiaowu and the others to your protection!"

```

```

"Yes, Lord Chu Qin, this servant will surely not fail in his duty!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun knew he could not stop Chu Qin, and nodded in agreement.

```

```

"Ying'er, lead the way!" Chu Qin looked toward Ying'er.

```

```

"Got it!"

```

```

With Ying'er and Xuan Wu Tian Zun leading the way, Chu Qin, Li Qingcheng, and Long Xue returned to the Ten Immortals Battlefield and arrived on a secluded island.

```

```

This isolated island, at first glance, seemed no different from an ordinary island and one couldn't sense any abnormal energy fluctuations within. If it weren't for Ying'er leading the way, they might not have been able to find this place at all.

```

```

"Master Chu Qin, Teacher Qiancheng, this is the Ancient Road!" Standing in a cave on the island, Ying'er pointed at a section of the cave wall.

```

```

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin immediately activated the Eye of the World, and sure enough, there was a passage hidden behind the cave wall!

```

```

The next moment, Chu Qin's pupils contracted slightly and the cave wall burst open!

```

```

"Is this the Ancient Road?" Xuan Wu Tian Zun was startled, "For countless ages, there has been a legend of an Ancient Road that leads to the Sanctuary. Today, it finally comes to light."

```

```

"The space within is vast; even my Divine Sense can't cover the full extent." Chu Qin nodded.

```

```

"Lord Chu Qin, the Sanctuary and Infinite Heavens are extremely distant from each other; you need to be careful on this Ancient Road!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun cautioned.

```

```

"If the legend is correct, the other end of the Ancient Road should lead to the Dragon Mountain in the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary," Xuan Wu Tian Zun continued, "The Mountain and Sea Sanctuary is the territory of the Dragon Venerable. Lord Chu Qin, as long as you show the Dragon Sovereign Bloodline, the entire Mountain and Sea Sanctuary will dare not defy you!"

```

```

"Mm!" Chu Qin nodded, taking a glance at Long Xue and Li Qingcheng. The three of them nodded at each other.

```

```

Then, they turned into three streaks of rainbows and charged into the Ancient Road.

```

```

At first, the Ancient Road was extremely narrow, but as they went further, it opened up largedly.

```

```

This place no longer felt like a cave, but rather like a river of time, pitch black on both sides, with a surging crimson substance beneath their feet.

```

```

This crimson substance was present all along the road; Chu Qin and his companions seemed to stand still, even as they flew at extreme speeds.

```

```

"Chu Qin, what is this substance?" Li Qingcheng, holding Chu Qin's hand, looked at the red substance underfoot and asked.

```

```

"It should be what the Blood Demon Fiend has left behind," Chu Qin responded, "The distance we've traveled must be enough to cross half of the Infinite Heavens. With such terrifying energy, the Blood Demon Fiend must have used some tactic."

```

```

"Chu Qin, what exactly is the Blood Demon Fiend, where do they come from? What's their purpose for invading the Infinite Heavens and the Sanctuary?" Long Xue asked curiously.

```

```

Chu Qin shook his head, "To solve these mysteries, we would probably have to return to the Ancient Era."

```

```

"Return to the Ancient Era?" Long Xue and Li Qingcheng exclaimed in unison.

```

```

"There's no need to discuss this for now." Chu Qin said with a smile, "Don't worry, whatever they are, I am here and will ensure the safety of all of you."

```

```

"Mm!"

```

```

Long Xue and Li Qingcheng both held Chu Qin's hand tightly and nodded. With Chu Qin present, they feared nothing!

```

```

Chu Qin and the others continued to fly through the Ancient Road for a while longer.

```

```

Finally, in front of them emerged an incredibly imposing set of gates!

```

```

The gates were as large as a star and entirely constructed from crimson material, spanning across the Ancient Road, imposing and majestic.

```

```

"Is there really a Grand Pass?"

```

"Founded by the Blood Demon Fiend?"

Li Qingcheng and Long Xue exclaimed in unison.

Chu Qin halted his advance, "Qiancheng, Xue'er, wait for me!"

As Chu Qin's voice fell, a splitting image rushed toward the Grand Pass!

Chu Qin intended to use his splitting image to first test the might of the mysterious elder at the Grand Pass.

Chu Qin's splitting image approached the Grand Pass, which became increasingly vast as it neared, making Chu Qin seem all the smaller in comparison.

If someone with a fear of large objects were here, they would likely faint on the spot.

Upon arriving, Chu Qin's splitting image immediately made use of Divine Sense to sweep over the area.

In an instant, Chu Qin's Divine Sense had covered the entire Grand Pass.

Inside such a massive Grand Pass, it was surprisingly devoid of people!

Even so, Chu Qin dared not be careless; his splitting image quickly flew into the Grand Pass, arriving in front of a majestic palace.

There were countless palaces within the Grand Pass, but the palace before him was different in layout; it was located at the center of the Grand Pass and was the highest point of all.

Chu Qin entered the palace and immediately saw a statue.

The statue was of a man in armor, with a mask on his face and a sword in his hands, pointing at the Cang Qiong!

Beneath him was a mountain.

This mountain was strange, surrounded by countless stars, making it seem unlike any ordinary mountain.

Above the mountain was shrouded in white clouds, and below it, too, was enveloped in white clouds.

Underneath the white clouds below the mountain, hordes of demons reached out their hands as if dancing with joy before the master of the statue!

"Who is this person?" Chu Qin was slightly shocked.

"Ah, the Lord of Blood Demon Sha!" Just then, the voices of Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign and Blood Dragon Venerable echoed in Chu Qin's mind simultaneously.

"Predecessors, you haven't gone into slumber?" Chu Qin asked in surprise.

"We're studying your secret method."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Chu Qin, my friend, where are you? Isn't this Blood Demon Fiend's territory, otherwise why would there be a statue of the Lord of Blood Demon Sha?" Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign added in confusion.

"I want to go to the Sanctuary, so I entered an ancient pathway. Is this statue really the Lord of Blood Demon Sha?" Chu Qin asked.

"An ancient pathway? Is there really such a path?" Blood Dragon Venerable was surprised.

"It seems that the legend was not wrong; Blood Demon Sha did indeed open a passage between the Sanctuary and the Infinite Heavens," Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign nodded, "From this statue, we can validate it. This statue is indeed the Lord of Blood Demon Sha!"

"Predecessors, then what do you think about the mountain under his feet?" Chu Qin asked.

"Mount Buzhou!" Blood Dragon Venerable and Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign replied simultaneously.

"It can't be wrong, this is Mount Buzhou, and those white clouds must be the Infinite Heavens and the Sanctuary!" Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign said, "Beneath his feet must be the world located under Mount Buzhou, and those demons are from Jiuyou Diming beneath the world!"

"These demons waving to the Lord of Blood Demon Sha suggests that Blood Demon Sha comes from Jiuyou Diming, right?" Chu Qin asked.

"Yes, that should be the case," Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign nodded, "Legend has it that Jiuyou Diming has always been suppressed under Mount Buzhou, concealing incredibly powerful demons within it. I have also speculated that Blood Demon Sha came from Jiuyou Diming."

"Eh? Chu Qin, look, isn't there something in front of the Lord of Blood Demon Sha?" Blood Dragon Venerable exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing this, Chu Qin turned his gaze upward to the space above the statue.

Indeed, there was an even larger expanse of white clouds there!

"The white clouds represent lands and worlds; could it be that there is an even larger continent above us?" Chu Qin was utterly astounded.

"The vastness of heaven and earth knows no bounds. There might really be one. It might have been mere speculation before, but after seeing the Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique you presented, I suspect that the Infinite Heavens is not the origin of the Dao!" Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign stated, "Many of the methods recorded in the Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique are entirely unknown to us two old fellows!"

"Yes, Chu Qin, where did you get this Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique?" Blood Dragon Venerable followed up with the question.

"It came with me from the Inner Universe, along with the Supreme Qinglong Seal," Chu Qin did not hide the truth.

"What?" Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign and Blood Dragon Venerable were thoroughly shocked.

Chu Qin then related the experience of how he had obtained the Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique to Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign and Blood Dragon Venerable.

"So, the Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique does not belong to your Inner Universe; it's very likely from an outer realm!" Blood Dragon Venerable realized in an epiphany.
