In the Divine Soul of those Japan Martial Artists who were subjected to Soul Search, Chen Yuan came to understand the so-called Japan Holy Mountain, which is the highest peak within the vast four provinces of Japan.

The mountain towers over a thousand zhang, reaching into the clouds, which is over three thousand meters. In this island nation surrounded by the sea, there is nothing comparable.

The most astonishing part is that the base and the peak of this mountain differ greatly; the peak is covered in eternal snow and swept by gales, while the base experiences the cycles of the four seasons in rotation.

This place is considered a forbidden area of Japan, tightly guarded by the three great families, engrained with a great formation to prevent anyone from ascending the mountain, regardless of their purpose or identity.

The reason for this became clear to Chen Yuan only after probing the Divine Souls of several Yang Transformation True Masters from the three great families.

It turns out that the Holy Mountain is actually a gigantic active volcano, becoming increasingly active over the past few hundred years, posing the potential threat of eruption at any time. An eruption of this towering volcano, whose depth is unknown, would cause a massive disturbance.

While it might be an exaggeration to say it could destroy all of Japan, covering one-sixth of the area is entirely possible. Moreover, the area surrounding the Holy Mountain is rich with extremely valuable Spiritual Ore.

If covered by an eruption, the losses to the three great families would be immense.

Thus, the three great families have sealed off the Holy Mountain, with Array Masters etching a cold array on it, causing the eternal ice peak and snow, aimed at lowering the temperature of the volcano beneath the Holy Mountain.

Unfortunately, it offers only minimal relief and is not particularly effective.

As for the name of this so-called Holy Mountain, it is not unknown even within the Central Plains, being called Heavenly Mountain, also known as Fuji Mountain.

Legend holds that it is the birthplace of Japan, with records tracing back thousands of years, close to the time when the Martial Emperor unified the world and established the Dynasty.

Because of this, many in Japan believe their heritage is long-standing, comparable to the Central Plains, with their ancestors being equals and friends with the Martial Emperor. Such claims, of course, are not accepted in the Central Plains. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Instead, they ridicule Japan for boasting, daring to compare its heritage with that of the Central Plains; how could a tiny offshore island inhabited by primitive people have such confidence?

Due to the pressure from the Immortal Domain, Chen Yuan, after arriving in Japan, wasted no time and swiftly made his way toward the Holy Mountain, reaching his destination in just a day’s time.

Beneath the Heavenly Mountain lies a very bustling city, which is also the location of Japan’s Capital City, known as the most prosperous area in Japan.

Yet it is only the best within Japan, still falling far short compared to the Central Plains, let alone the world’s numero uno city Martial Emperor City, or even the Central State Imperial City which it cannot compare to at all.

Just a little better than a State City of the Central Plains Thirteen States.

Upon entering Japan’s Capital City, Chen Yuan’s attire from the Central Plains drew particular attention, attracting hostile gazes all around. Previously, it might have been nothing, with Japan Martial Artists even seeking friendly relations.

Yet now... that was no longer possible.

Under the mobilization led by the three great families, Japan put everything into its invasion of the Central Plains, a fact known to everyone currently in Japan.

They understood that a great catastrophe might soon strike Japan, and only by conquering the Central Plains could they survive, coupled with the current adversarial stance.

Thus, on the day war erupted in Japan, the entire nation began fanatically slaughtering all Central Plains people, vowing to annihilate the Central Plains and turn it into a land of slavery.

Hence, Chen Yuan’s presence in the Capital City became particularly conspicuous.

Amusingly, Chen Yuan wondered how these frenzied Japan Martial Artists would react if they learned that the attack on the Central Plains had already failed, with attackers dead or submitted.

As for why Chen Yuan had not immediately gone to the Heavenly Mountain and instead came to the Capital City first, it wasn’t out of idleness but rather to make certain preparations beforehand.

From the knowledge gained in the Divine Soul memories of Japanese powerhouses, it was clear that formations were engraved all over the Heavenly Mountain. Whether there was a desperate self-destruct formation or not, no one could say.

If Chen Yuan rushed in carelessly and triggered the formations, causing a volcanic eruption, the consequences would be dire, although not out of concern for his own safety.

With his terrifying physical body, he could penetrate the depths of magma without harm, but the Origin Heavenly Pearl would not fare the same...

The Pearl, while not fragile, was also not as resilient as one might imagine.

If it were destroyed, Chen Yuan’s journey would have been in vain.

Therefore, he deemed it necessary to visit the three great families, to gather information on the formations from them, ensuring he could safely retrieve the Origin Heavenly Pearl.

Anything concerning the Martial God is never taken lightly by him.

Besides, among the Japan Martial Artists currently remaining, who could possibly be his match?

Perhaps Chen Yuan’s presence was too overwhelming, imposing immense pressure on the Japan Martial Artists. In any case, from the moment he entered the city, even with hundreds of Japan Martial Artists surrounding him, not a single one dared to make a move.

"Rustle... rustle...."

Amidst the encirclement of several hundred to a thousand people, Chen Yuan walked as if in his own garden, utterly indifferent to the situation around him.

These days are different; to Chen Yuan, a half-step Martial Divine with a body at the Six Realms, those below Yang Transformation are truly no different from ants.

Who would bother about a bunch of ants?
