Chapter 474: 474
Yin Shan Mountain Range was one of the renowned mountains of Hua Xia Country . It was located in the Inner Mongolia region and its altitude ranged between 400 to 2000 meters .
On the vast and limitless grasslands, there were two galloping steeds . There were two people on the horses . They were Mo Wen and Chen Zi .
Having returned to her hometown, Chen Zi felt especially comfortable . Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, she felt overwhelmingly pleased .
“You’re a Mongolian?” Mo Wen asked curiously .
“Do people who live in Mongolia definitely have to be Mongolian?” Chen Zi glanced at Mo Wen out of the corner of her eye, “My parents are both Han Chinese . ”
“Do you know the Inner world?” Chen Zi asked softly .
Mo Wen nodded his head .
“Intentionless Sect left the main space 200 years ago, and moved to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, somewhere in the Inner world,” Chen Zi explained softly . “The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is a world of its own and just like a little society . It has many ancient martial art powers . Our Intentionless Sect is simply one of the many ancient martial art powers in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension . ”
“So, you are in the Inner world . ” A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes . No wonder he had never heard of a sect called Intentionless Sect . According to Chen Zi, Intentionless Sect was not a minor power . It had masters with very high Cultivations as its leaders . If they were in the outside world, such a major sect should not be totally without a reputation .
“Yup, although the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is not big and cannot be compared to the other Inner worlds like the Floating Mystery Dimension and Peng Lai Mystery Dimension, the power of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension is not the weakest . Out of all the remaining powers of the Ming Clan today, our Intentionless Sect is ranked somewhere in the middle,” Chen Zi explained .
“With a master of the Golden Elixir realm as the head of your Intentionless Sect, you are still only ranked somewhere in the middle?” a look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes . According to what Chen Zi had said, there might not have been just one Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner . If they were in the outside world compared with those ten major ancient martial art sects, they could easily be ranked in the top three positions .
“Of course that is the case . Hundreds of years ago, when the ancient martial arts scene in the main space was most prosperous, the Ming Clan had been able to maintain its top position . Back then, there were hundreds of clans fighting for the position and there were many good candidates . However, there were very few that could compare to the Ming Clan . It was said that the clan leader back then had even surpassed the Golden Elixir realm . ”

“Today, a huge number of ancient martial art sects have left the main space and moved into the Inner world . After hundreds of years of development, they have become much more advanced . As for those ancient martial art sects in the main space, they have started to worsen . That was because all the ancient martial art sects with good abilities essentially all moved into the Inner world . The sects that remained in the main space mostly did not have much capability, or had reasons such that they were unable to move . ”
Chen Zi smiled as she looked at Mo Wen . Initially, she had thought that this youth should have hailed from one of the stronger Inner worlds . It would hence explain his amazing talent . However, it seemed like he was not .
“Why did those stronger ancient martial art sects gradually move into the Inner world?” Mo Wen asked curiously .
“There are many reasons . The biggest one was because the main space was no longer suitable for Cultivation . As for the detailed reasons, I am unable to pinpoint them in a sentence or two . In any case, the ancient martial art sects in the Inner world far surpass those in the main space . Moreover, when I was younger, I think my father ever mentioned that the huge move of ancient martial art sects into the Inner world was closely related to Huatian Palace . Because, without the support of Huatian Palace, it would be very difficult for the ancient martial art sects to shuttle between the two worlds . ”
“Father ever mentioned that the ancient martial art practitioners that came out of the Inner world had a far greater chance of becoming immortal than those ancient martial art practitioners in the main space,” Chen Zi said .
“Becoming immortal?” Mo Wen blinked his eyes as he found the two words a little foreign .
“I don’t know what becoming immortal is either . We are now very far from that level . However, it is said that becoming immortal is the highest level an ancient martial art practitioner can achieve . After becoming immortal, one would become a deity-like person . ” Chen Zi shook her head . Becoming immortal was too far a goal for her . Not just her, even a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner from Intentionless Sect would not even dare dream of it .
“I see . ” Mo Wen nodded his head thoughtfully, as he registered and kept the two words, “becoming immortal”, in his memory .
From what things looked like, over hundreds of years, the ancient martial art sects in the main space having all moved into the Inner world seemed to be related to Huatian Palace . No wonder it was so rare to even see a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner in the main space . Those masters probably all congregated in the Inner world .
Shuttling between the two worlds was an ability of Immortal Cultivators . Even if the normal ancient martial art practitioners could reach the peak of the Golden Elixir realm, they would not gain the ability to shuttle between the two worlds . Mo Wen found it very odd that those ancient martial art sects could perform such major moves into the Inner world . However, if Huatian Palace had a part to play, it would not be a surprise at all .
The two of them were nicely dressed and were on smart steeds as they galloped fast, looking extremely free . Although they could be much faster than traveling on horses if they performed Qinggong, galloping on horses was more meaningful . As they galloped side by side, the two of them felt exceptionally at ease .

Mo Wen thought to himself silently . In his world, they had Immortal Cultivators, all sorts of spiritual beasts, monstrous beasts and extraordinary beasts . This world actually had Immortal Cultivators as well . If so, those spiritual beasts or monstrous beasts definitely existed too . If he had the chance to capture one of the spiritual beasts as his humble steed, it would definitely be a very mighty sight .
On the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, there were quite a number of nomadic people . From time to time, they could see herds of cows, sheep and horses running through the grasslands and frolicking around . Occasionally, they would pass by primitive tribes with pitched tents . The shepherds would often glance over with kind and friendly looks .
The sun was setting and the dimming light shone on the grassland . In the evening, two people appeared on the lofty mountains . The huge mountain was at least 1500 over meters, such that it reached the clouds . At the foot of the huge mountain, there was a village . The village was not big, with only ten over households .
“Young Mistress, you have arrived . ”
One of the families in the village appeared to recognize Chen Zi . As they saw Chen Zi galloping over on the horse from afar, they immediately went over to welcome her . They had smiles on their faces and even seemed to harbor respect for her .
“Uncle Zhang, has your daughter-in-law given birth?” Chen Zi jumped off the horse and asked with a smile .
“She’s already given birth . Three months ago, she gave birth to a fair and chubby boy . ” Uncle Zhang broke into a huge smile and was very happy .
“Uncle Zhang, is it convenient for us to leave our horses at your place?”
“Young Mistress, you are being too polite . Don’t talk about leaving a few horses, even if you want to move my entire house away, I will definitely be alright with it . Don’t worry Young Mistress, the horses belonging to you and this youth will definitely be well cared for . ”
“Uncle Zhang, you are too courteous . ”
Uncle Zhang stepped forth to hold on to the reins . He flipped himself onto the horse with skill and grabbed onto the reins of the other horse . At once, he led both horses into the stable .

Mo Wen and Chen Zi did not stay . Instead, they directly passed through the village and headed towards that huge mountain .
The people from the surrounding villages all came forth to give their greetings upon seeing Chen Zi . They were all full of respect . As they saw the two of them head up the mountain at night, they did not seem very surprised, as though it was a common occurrence .
“You are actually very popular . ”
“Of course, I am loved by everyone who sets eyes on me,” Chen Zi said proudly .
“That can’t be true . Why do I not seem to like you even after I have seen you?” Mo Wen asked expressionlessly .
“You…” Chen Zi glared at Mo Wen . “Humph, because you are blind and you can’t see . ”
The two of them made their way up the mountain . As they performed Qinggong, they traveled through the mountains very quickly . In a moment, they had already arrived at the middle of the mountain . The sun had yet to set completely .
“This mountain is called the Green Ancient Mountain . It got its name from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension . The surrounding villagers have loved to call it the Divine Mountain because legend has it that Divine Mountain would care for them forever . ”
Chen Zi stood at the edge of the cliff and looked at the distant setting sun that was disappearing into a line .
“It must have been caused by you guys, right?” Mo Wen smiled and asked .
“What do you mean by ’caused by’? We have indeed protected the villagers surrounding the Green Ancient Mountain . It has been that way for hundreds of years; of course, their presence has made things much more convenient for us . ”
Those villagers have lived surrounding the Green Ancient Mountain for generations . Amongst them, there were some that were related to some of the powers in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension . It could be said that they were the surveillance for the outside world as they consistently provided information about the outside world to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension .
“Half an hour later, when the sky darkens, we will be able to travel into Green Ancient Mystery Dimension,” Chen Zi said .
“How do we travel? You have a subsidiary secret order of the secret order of space?” Mo Wen asked .
Only the secret order of space could open the passageway between the two spaces . The parent secret order normally would not be able to leave the space . However, the subsidiary secret order could . Yet, it could only be used twice .
Mo Wen had a subsidiary secret order in his possession . However, for different Inner worlds, the secret orders of space were also different; the subsidiary secret order for Floating Mystery Dimension simply could not be used for Green Ancient Mystery Dimension . It was just like a lock and key, such that the passageways would only open once they matched .
In reality, although Mo Wen had never entered those Inner worlds before, he still had a certain level of understanding regarding the Inner worlds .
A so-called Inner world was a space that had been separated from the main space . Long ago, they had been one with the main space . However, as time passed and with many reasons, they slowly segregated from the main space .
That had also happened to the Sacred place of Dafang Sect . However, that had been a neglected space . It was not stable and was fraught with turbulences, such that it was not suitable for living things to exist .
Inner worlds like the Floating Mystery Dimension could accommodate people because of its relation to Immortal Cultivators . Those Immortal Cultivators with exceedingly great Cultivation could perform the great magical power of segregating space, in order to create a wholesome and stable space . They could also perform the secret technique of setting up passageways, in order to link the outside world and the Inner world . Only then could an independent space be created .
It could be said that behind every Inner world was a capable Immortal Cultivator . The so-called secret orders of space were the keys created by the capable Immortal Cultivators . However, it was hard to say if those capable Immortal Cultivators who had created the Inner worlds were still alive after all those years .
“I don’t actually have the secret order of space . However, I have a method . ” After the sunset, Chen Zi reached for a conch in her sleeve . She placed it on her rosy mouth and blew into it . The conch did not produce a sound . However, there was an invisible wave that was emanated . It was just like a ripple, continuously delving into the depths of space .
