# Chapter 495: God-Sealing List
The big black dog's copper-bell-like eyes were wide open as it paced back and forth, muttering incessantly, clearly extremely shocked.
"How is this possible, why is it sealed here? Back then... dammit, this defies all reason!"
Its gaze was profound, staring fixedly at the God-Sealing List, its eyes unable to turn away. No one knew what thoughts were running through its mind, but it involuntarily shuddered.
Then, the big black dog lay down on the ground, silent, lost in thought as if sinking into distant memories.
"The God-Sealing List..." Far away, the Pre-Qin cultivators were mysterious and unfathomable, but Emperor Wu Shi was a man from over a hundred thousand years ago. Since he had used the God-Sealing List to seal this place back then, it couldn't possibly appear in a later era at the other end of the starry sky.
"What is the God-Sealing List?" Li Heishui asked, puzzled and suspicious.
"This is a secret treasure, personally refined by Emperor Wu Shi. Its power is unimaginably immense!" The big black dog bared its teeth.
"Something's not right..." Ye Fan felt that this ancient list was different from the divine list at the other end of the starry sky.
"Dead dog, you're just bragging." Li Heishui didn't believe it. The ancient scroll on the black mountain body, shining with golden light, didn't look like it had existed for over a hundred thousand years.
Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he asked, "What exactly is the function of this list?"
"Its function is enormous. It is a sacred object of sealing. Once it's pressed down here, it's equivalent to Emperor Wu Shi's hand pressing down on this black great mountain. Even if a deity came, there would be no way around it!" The big black dog was very excited.
"What? It has such great power? Dead dog, you're not just talking nonsense, are you?" Li Heishui's heart pounded violently.
Ye Fan also felt dizzy. The golden ancient list sealed here, equivalent to Emperor Wu Shi's palm pressing down on this place, was too shocking to hear.
"That's exactly how it is!" The big black dog glared.
"How was it refined? Are there any special requirements?" Ye Fan asked patiently.
"Emperor Wu Shi's cultivation reached the pinnacle of creation. He wanted to refine a sacred object to seal immortals. At first, he wanted to call it the Immortal-Sealing List. But since there are no immortals in this world, only ancient creatures suspected to be deities, he changed the name to the God-Sealing List."
"That's possible..." Ye Fan was dumbfounded. Emperor Wu Shi was too formidable, even wanting to seal immortals.
"You didn't live in that era, so you simply can't understand how heavy the word 'Wu Shi' is. It can crush the ages!" The big black dog sighed.
"This is a treasure! If it's truly equivalent to Emperor Wu Shi's hand pressing down here, it's not much inferior to an Extreme Imperial Weapon. It's a supreme sacred object!" Li Heishui, like the Black Emperor of old, had green light shining in his eyes, and saliva was almost dripping from his mouth.
"This name actually... coincides with the Pre-Qin cultivators' idea, but the function is completely different." Ye Fan muttered to himself.
"What?!" The big black dog was startled. "Kid, you've heard of another God-Sealing List too?"
"What do you... mean?" Ye Fan was also startled by it, turning sharply to look at it.
"According to legend, when Emperor Wu Shi was refining the God-Sealing List..." Black Emperor finally didn't say "according to ancient records" this time, using "according to legend" to explain.
Emperor Wu Shi had once said that he had seen an ancient scroll also called the God-Sealing List, but it was too useless, so he wanted to refine a true sacred object.
When Ye Fan heard these secrets, his eyes went straight. What kind of origins did the ancient great emperors have? They even knew about the legendary divine objects from the other end of the starry sky?
"Wait a moment..." Ye Fan was suddenly stunned.
Had Emperor Wu Shi gone to ancient China? Or had he gone to other star domains and seen the real God-Sealing List, which is why he wanted to refine an Immortal-Sealing List?
"This is too frightening. Was the Stellar Ancient Path created by such beings?"
The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more he felt that the ancient great emperors were unfathomable. They were anomalies, impossible to figure out, no wonder they were often struck by lightning.
He thought of many things. In ancient times, there were Sacred Emperors who performed sacrifices to heaven on Mount Tai, where Five-Colored Altars were built. Had they all come to the star domains?
There were many named Pre-Qin cultivators, but up to now, he didn't know where those people had gone. In this world, there were only faint traces of them.
"So high..." Little Nannan looked up, gazing at this black mountain that pierced into the clouds.
Unknowingly, they had already arrived at its base, walking around the enormous mountain body, sensing an indescribable and inexplicable aura.
"There's something inside this mountain!" Li Heishui said.
"You don't need to tell me that. Emperor Wu Shi even used the God-Sealing List, so he must have sealed some supreme creature." The big black dog bared its teeth, lost in thought.
The black mountain body had many dark red bloodstains. No one knew how many years had passed, but they still hadn't faded, with patches of blood clots.
Ye Fan felt dizzy. This was a great mountain that pierced into the clouds! How much blood had the Great Accomplishment Saint Body shed to have soaked this entire great mountain?
"Little Leaf's blood is bright red with golden light, right? The Great Accomplishment Saint Body should have golden blood." Li Heishui was suspicious.
"What do you know? The Great Accomplishment Saint Body has returned to simplicity. The golden blood has transformed into the most primal bright red. Drinking a mouthful can extend one's life by a hundred years." The big black dog drooled.
"Little Leaf, you must live well. When the time comes, you'll nurture an Immortal Elixir to save yourself, and then use your sacred blood to save us." Li Heishui said.
"That's right!" The big black dog nodded its big head in agreement.
Ye Fan took out the ancient scroll he had obtained in Li Prefecture of the Northern Domain and carefully examined it. "The Nine Secrets are at the mountain peak, truly on the cliff of the Sacred Cliff."
They began to climb the mountain. At this point, the array patterns became even more terrifying. The few of them followed behind the Old Madman, not daring to take a wrong step.
Earlier, Li Heishui had tested with a weapon, and it had silently turned to ashes. The terrifying sight made his hair stand on end, afraid that his own steps might deviate.
"One wrong step, and you'll be annihilated in both body and spirit. Be careful. Aside from the corner of the Dao diagram he left behind, Emperor Wu Shi's slaughter formation is absolutely unsolvable!" The big black dog warned solemnly, its expression extremely serious, because this truly concerned everyone's life and death.
Not to mention them, even if all the Saint Lords came, as long as they took one wrong step, they would fall into eternal damnation and be forever erased from this world.
Even with a being comparable to an ancient sage leading the way, they moved very slowly, because the Old Madman was also deliberating. Every step had to be precise to the slightest degree.
"What if we accidentally take a wrong step?" Little Nannan asked innocently.
"Little ancestor, please don't say that." The big black dog was nervous, truly afraid of problems. "If you take a wrong step on this mountain, the killing force you'll suffer is equivalent to being struck by a palm from an ancient great emperor!"
Li Heishui felt even more creeped out, his calves almost cramping. He muttered to himself, "We're walking on a tightrope between hell and heaven. No one should say anything random."
"Boom!"
Not far away, a terrifying black hole appeared, its devouring force making one's hair stand on end.
"Did we take a wrong step?"
"No. A leaf was blown onto this sacred mountain, triggering a trace of the array pattern's power."
"This... is too terrifying. A fallen leaf triggered such a black hole. If we make a mistake, we'll truly turn to ash on the spot!"
A full two hours later, they reached the mountainside. At this point, fog began to rise. Ribbon-like black mist swirled, making everything look incomparably dim. The fog at the mountain peak was even thicker, impossible to see through.
"Don't let anything go wrong!" A sense of foreboding surged in everyone's hearts.
"Nannan saw several people, men and women..." Little Nannan suddenly spoke, pointing ahead with her small hand.
The Old Madman had already stopped, confronting several figures in the thick fog. He didn't make a move, standing motionless with a solemn expression.
Ye Fan opened his divine eyes, but he could only vaguely see that they were several people wearing ancient clothing, as if they had walked out from ancient times.
They were all very old, their bodies devoid of any vitality, deathly still, but standing there, they exuded a great oppressive force that made it hard to breathe.
The Old Madman confronting them like this was definitely a bad sign. Could they be several sages? The sense of foreboding grew heavier. Everyone's hearts pounded with extreme tension!
The mountain wind blew, and those ancient figures stood like fossils in the thick fog, completely motionless, only their ancient clothes rustling.
"Dammit, sages shouldn't exist in this world anymore. Where did these deities come from?!" The big black dog was terrified, almost stuttering.
The Old Madman pondered for a long time before beginning to move again, bypassing the figures and heading up the mountain. At the same time, he transmitted a message: "Don't look back at them. Don't sense their aura. Just follow me!"
The few of them didn't even dare to breathe. Stepping in the Old Madman's footprints, they climbed up step by step, not daring to look back.
But their spines felt cold. They clearly sensed those figures in the thick fog staring at them with icy eyes. The ancient clothing made those silhouettes seem mysterious and unfathomable.
After going a long way, the tense atmosphere finally eased. Li Heishui whispered, "Senior, who are they?"
"Ancient dead people." The Old Madman only said these five words.
"Supreme experts who died long ago? But I clearly felt icy gazes." Everyone felt it was strange and incomprehensible.
"Nannan feels they're alive. Their icy gazes fell on us." The little girl was a bit timid, speaking softly.
"Yeah, I feel that way too." Li Heishui was also puzzled and couldn't help but look back.
In an instant, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body could barely move. His face was pale, without a trace of color. He couldn't speak a word, like an ant being looked down upon by a dragon.
"Don't look back. Don't look at them. They are people who died long ago!" The Old Madman gave a soft shout, and with a sweep of his large sleeve, he turned Li Heishui's body around.
"Heavens, it's too terrifying. Little Leaf, Nannan, don't look back. I only glanced back once and didn't see anything clearly, but that gaze nearly shattered my mind!" Li Heishui muttered, almost collapsing.
They all found it hard to believe they were dead people, but since the Old Madman said so, none of them dared to look back. No matter what happened behind them, they chose to keep moving forward.
The fog grew thicker and thicker. The outline of the huge stone coffin at the mountain peak could no longer be seen at all. Even spiritual perception couldn't penetrate the strange thick fog.
"Dammit, there's another person up there. This one might be alive!" The big black dog's black fur stood on end.
Far above, there was a figure, as unmoving as a statue, towering and massive. But its eyes were very intimidating, able to pierce through the thick fog.
They were a pair of cyan eyes, without whites or pupils, like two cyan ghost lamps shining in the thick fog, looking down at the group below.
"Don't look at him. Treat him like a dead man!" The Old Madman warned solemnly again.
At the same time, he changed course, climbing upward. Suddenly, golden light shone beside them, penetrating through the thick fog.
Because they were taking a detour, they came to the other side of the mountain body, seeing many dark red bloodstains, and even getting a close look at the God-Sealing List.
"Why don't we just stay far away from that person up there? Even if it's an ancient corpse, it looks very unusual. It might cause a big fight." Ye Fan said.
The Old Madman didn't say much, but he was seriously thinking, step by step changing course, moving toward the side of the God-Sealing List, circling up the mountain.
The golden light was blazing, and even the thick fog couldn't drown it out. That stone wall was full of traces of time. The ancient God-Sealing List was stuck to it, very firmly.
Even after over a hundred thousand years, there wasn't a single sign of loosening, and time hadn't left any mark on it.
"Blood pits..." Li Heishui was shocked. In this area, there were blood pits that hadn't dried up.
"This is the blood of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body. It's a priceless sacred object!" The big black dog cried out in surprise, almost pouncing on it, but restrained its impulse due to the restriction on moving freely.
"Unfortunately, the essence has long since dissipated." Ye Fan shook his head, but he couldn't help being shocked. After over a hundred thousand years, the blood of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body still hadn't dried up. How heaven-defying was its power?
"There are remnants of medicinal herbs." Li Heishui was surprised.
In the blood pits, medicinal herbs had once grown, but they had been picked by someone. Needless to say, medicinal herbs nurtured by sacred blood would have astonishing medicinal power.
"There are words. 'Red Dragon trapped here'..." The big black dog read, then cursed, "So it was that demonic Daoist. He used this medicine to save his own life."
Ye Fan was startled. The Red Dragon Daoist had been trapped on Sacred Cliff. So this was the place. They had come above the mountainside. No wonder he had been sealed for fifteen hundred years. From what they had seen, surviving to get out was already a miracle.
At this point, they were getting closer and closer to the God-Sealing List. It was already clearly visible, as if cast from gold, emitting a strange fluctuation.
"The supreme sacred object personally refined by the Great Emperor. I've seen it with my own eyes again." The big black dog actually showed a trace of sadness, sighing, "What a pity. Even a peerless talent of the ages ultimately couldn't withstand time!"
"There's a stone carving at the edge of the ancient list..." Little Nannan stretched out her small hand, pointing ahead.
"Dammit, who was so lacking in virtue to carve a bald head next to the God-Sealing List?!" The big black dog was furious.
"Shakyamuni!" Ye Fan was startled. The stone carving was almost identical to the Buddha seen in temples.
"This is the mark left by this person." The Old Madman suddenly spoke.
"This damn fatty had nothing better to do than leave a mark in front of the God-Sealing List. But this old bald head is very powerful to be able to come and go here!" The big black dog was both indignant and shocked.
"There's another stone carving." Little Nannan pointed to the other side of the God-Sealing List.
It was an old man riding a green ox, with what seemed to be purple qi drifting westward, vivid and lifelike, very expressive.
"Who is this old man riding an ox? Why is he also carving randomly here?!" The big black dog asked indignantly.
