Chapter 111: Cannot Breakthrough?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The place where the Hong Family lived in was now the gathering place for the South Continent people living in Zhongzhou.

Other small families from the South Continent also found their own place of refuge in Muguang Mountain.

The battles in Zhongzhou became more and more intense.

With the support of the masters from the East Continent, many of the people in the Luojue Sacred Ground started to rebel.

The entire East Continent was full of bloodshed.

Several cities were destroyed and the remaining cities were no longer peaceful.

Five years later, Qianyuan Sacred Ground suddenly exploded and conquered most of the Luo Jue Sacred Ground’s territory in one go.

The Luojue Sacred Ground master was killed overnight.

All of the people who supported the Luojue Sacred Ground were foreigners from the East Continent.

Not liking the Qianyuan Sacred Ground, they chose to support Luojue instead.

But the Zhongzhou people knew the truth.

The Luojue Sacred Ground was dead.

Then, the Qianyuan saint-level masters turned their aim towards the Huanhai Sacred Ground.

Just then, several masters from the East Continent invaded Zhongzhou.

Many of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground masters were killed.

The world fell into chaos.

In the blink of an eye, many families were wiped out.

Even noble families with a half-step Virtual Realm masters were in danger.

Suddenly, news that the Murong Family’s ancestor had broken through to the Virtual Realm and killed an East Continent assassin spread through Luoyu City.

But then, the Murong’s Family had moved away from Luoyu City.

Everyone in Zhongzhou was in an uproar.

Even the Murong Family, who had a Virtual Realm master, was relocating?

Many families became desperate.

They started to take action too.

If the families with Virtual Realm masters were not optimistic that their family could survive this battle, then what about a family that did not even have a half-step Virtual Realm master?

That’s right.

The Qianyuan Sacred Ground had more than thirty Virtual Realm masters and the East Continent had many masters as well.

There was going to be a huge battle.

They would be dead if they got involved in the fight.

“Sigh! In the past, a Virtual Realm master was all that was needed to start up a Sacred Ground. It used to be someone who countless people would look up to. But in the past ten years, there are already over twenty Virtual Realm masters in Zhongzhou who have fallen.”

In the Xia Mu Sacred Ground, Elder Xia’s face was full of sadness.

He didn’t dare to imagine what was about to happen!

“Grandpa Xia, if we can’t hold on any longer, then let’s just move,” Mu Qingfeng said.

“The Xia Family still has Bailing Valley, which can be used after we repair the formation. But how can that formation block an attack from a Virtual Realm master? And where will your Mu Family and the other South Continent families in Zhongzhou move to?”

“The ancestor said that if there’s no other choice, we can always go back to the South Continent,” Mu Qingfeng said.

Mu Qingfeng, who was a intermediate Perfected Person, had become the Elder of the Mu Family.

The Xia Family’s Elder shook his head. “There are no resources left in the South Continent. We can’t survive there.”

The families needed resources to live.

If they went back, they might be able to hide for a while. As Perfected Persons, they would not be affected much, but the younger generations would not be able to cultivate without sufficient resources.

“Where else can we go? Can we hide in Muguang Mountain together with you and get some resources from Zhongzhou? In the past, this might be a good idea, but now, the Zhongzhou people can’t even take care of themselves. We can’t stay in Mu Guangshan for long, but it will do temporarily.”

“Hmm, you’re right!” The Elder of the Xia Family said, then turned around and shouted, “Tell Elder Liu Yu make preparations and choose a hiding place for the Xia Family in the South Continent. Just in case there are too many changes in Zhongzhou, the Xia Family will still have a way out.”

The entire Zhongzhou was in a mess.

Since the South Continent people, represented by Xia Family and Mu Family, had refused to take sides, they became a thorn in the side of Huanhai and Qianyuan.

Although the two parties were fighting, they still sent masters to monitor the movements of the South Continent people at all times.

They were both aware that the Xia Family and Mu Family were relocating.

“Since the South Continent people choose to hide in that barren place in the South Continent, we shall just let them go then! But the resources that they leave behind are ours.”

In Muguang Mountain, the number of people from the South Continent started to increase.

Their houses were scattered everywhere on the huge mountain range.

The caves where some wild beasts lived were turned into martial arts training grounds.

Not only were the number of South Continent people in the mountains increasing, the number of Zhongzhou people were also slowly increasing.

Both these groups had a mutual understanding not to make trouble for each other.

After many masters started hunting, the powerful beasts in Muguang Mountain gradually became scarce.

The areas with soil were also used as gardens to grow medicinal herbs.

After some time, the chaos in Zhongzhou gradually migrated to Muguang Mountain.

Many of the forces that fled from Zhongzhou started to seize the land in Muguang Mountain from others.

Sometimes, they even resorted to killing them.

The South Continent people in Muguang Mountain had to move south again.

In the vitality pit, Li Mu had accumulated over three thousand years of power from checking in.

This did not include the pills he also gained from checking in.

After being at the peak of the Virtual Realm for many years, there hadn’t been any opportunity for him to breakthrough.

Many years ago, he had brought Tingting out to practice because he had encountered a bottleneck and wanted to find a way to break through.

It had been many years since then.

After polishing the round plate in his hand, Li Mu’s perception gradually became clearer.

Even if he closed his eyes, he could still perceive the movement of everyone around the vitality pit.

Just as if everything was right in front of him.

Opening the Taiyue classics, Li Mu found the answer he was looking for on a stone slab.

“Break the shrine and gather divine consciousness… True realm cultivator. So there’s such a thing called divine consciousness, which can only be found when I break through from the Virtual Realm to the True Realm. But why have I gotten divine consciousness without breaking through to the True Realm?”

He touched the round plate.

Was the spiritual power enhanced by the round plate?

Or was it that his accumulated power was now strong enough?

“System, transfer all the rewards to me.”

Boom!

Suddenly, a mighty force poured into Li Mu’s body from his acupuncture points.

Li Mu could feel his power improving.

After a long time, his meridians were filled with true qi.

Li Mu compressed the true qi to form true liquid.

True liquid was another sign of reaching the True Realm.

However, Li Mu still didn’t feel any signs of breaking through.

“What’s the matter?”

Li Mu was dumbfounded.

All signs indicated that he has entered the True Realm.

But after careful inspection, he realized that he was still at the pinnacle of the Virtual Realm.

His life span had increased a little.

“Is there a problem with the record?”

Li Mu once again plunged into the classics of Taiyue Sacred Ground and began to read.

There was a part which described the frustrations of a master who was at the peak of the Virtual Realm.

“It’s impossible for anyone in this part of the world to break through to the True Realm!”

Was this nonsense, or was he just in denial?

After all, there were only a few people at the peak of the Virtual Realm.

How likely was it for him to break through?

There were so many geniuses who were stuck at the half-step Virtual Realm stage.

Wasn’t it normal for breakthroughs to be rare?

That person must be been incompetent due to his lack of aptitude.

Li Mu continued to check in frantically at Luoshen River, the Well of Prenatal Qi, and the Xia Family’s Forbidden Ground.

He went wherever the rewards were good.

Half a year later, Li Mu absorbed all the power and compressed the true qi again, creating a trace of golden true liquid.

But there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

What the hell.

“Could it really be that there is no stage above the Virtual Realm in this part of the world?”
