Chapter 288 - 288 Uttarakuru
288 Uttarakuru
The Imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the first to announce that an expert from the palace had broken through to the mortal realm.
This also meant that the Imperial court had once again established the foundation for hegemony.
The entire sky above the capital was filled with strange phenomena. The vibration of the spiritual energy caused the area within a hundred miles to tremble.
After this news spread, not only was the entire martial arts world shocked, but the world was also shocked.
Of course, this was only on the surface. The hidden masters, other than He Chuan, had already reached the mortal realm.
However, this kind of thing that was out in the open excited everyone the most. This was because it represented hope. It represented that everyone could reach this threshold.
Cultivation was no longer a legend, and the mortal realm was no longer an unattainable barrier.
This shocked all the cultivators in the world.
Everyone put even more effort into their cultivation.
Just two months later, Zhang Junbao, the leader of the Wudang Sect, broke through into the Northern Shaolin temple’s secret realm. He followed closely behind the Imperial court and announced that he had become a powerhouse of the mortal realm.
When he broke through, his sword will soar into the sky, and the clouds above the sky were scattered. It was as if it was going to break through the sky and shatter the void.
No one knew exactly what was above the void, but the breakthrough was a fact.
This caused many of the cultivators who were watching the Northern Shaolin Temple to fall into a state of shock, unable to recover for a long time.
In the following period of time, the entire world was filled with the appearance of mortal realm cultivators. The Xiongnu people, the great desert, the wilderness, and even the countries on the other side of the ocean also had cultivators of the mortal realm.
However, even with the extreme prosperity of martial arts, one couldn’t underestimate the danger of breaking through to the mortal realm from the saint cultivator. It was easy to become a saint cultivator from the half-step saint cultivator, but it was very difficult to break through to the mortal realm.
Dozens of saint cultivators died when they broke through again.
Cultivation was no longer a legend, and martial arts were still inferior.
Entering cultivation also meant that a cultivator had to start building their foundation and lay a foundation for the future.
There was a saying that was circulating now. Those who did not enter the foundation-building stage were still ants.
The various sects also began to study cultivation techniques.
…
In the distant Uttarakuru, this place was known as the paradise of fierce beasts.
A deathly silent snow-covered area.
Vigorous, solemn, and always dull. White, always a cold white.
It was as if nature had frozen the raging waves in this place, making them eternally still.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, some birds and animals have also gained intelligence. They absorbed spiritual energy from the sun and moon and began to cultivate. They cultivated by instinct, so their speed was naturally slower than humans.
However, a beast’s body had the advantage of being the only one in the world. If the human and the beast were in the same realm, the beast could easily kill the human with its physical advantage.
Therefore, humans were even more reluctant to set foot in this place. Not only was it desolate, but it was also filled with wild beasts and danger.
“Who would expect that the spiritual energy of the whole world would start to recover and that an expert of the mortal realm would appear in the central plains?”
The two of them stood at the edge of the forbidden zone, where no one dared to come. The square-faced man in black said in a low voice.
The square-faced man’s tone was very respectful. The young man beside him, wearing a brocade robe, had a beautiful face and sword-like eyebrows and only nodded slightly.
The young man’s body exuded an aura that looked down on the world.
“This world has been sealed for close to a thousand years. Now that the seal has been broken, it means the World God has appeared. I heard that there’s also an incredible expert in the Zhou Dynasty who killed Meng Ao of the godfiend race a few years ago.” The young man said nonchalantly, his hands behind his back as he looked at the wild beast in the distance.
“That should be right. The World God is related to this world. If he escapes, the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy will not be a problem.” The square-faced man analyzed.
“Hehe, an expert? Our goal this time is the World God and the nine prefectures’ cauldron. As long as we can find the nine prefectures’ cauldron, no one will dare to fight me!” the young man didn’t care about the legend of He Chuan at all. Even if he was at the peak of the mortal realm, he was no different from an ant in his eyes.
Since the World God had escaped, the nine prefectures’ cauldrons were destined to be destroyed. Now, they needed to find the scattered fragments.
The complete nine prefectures’ cauldron contained a huge secret.
In the past, martial arts flourished in the central plains, and the number of cultivators was unknown.
Later, because of the appearance of the nine prefectures’ cauldrons, all parties began to fight for it, which eventually led to the death of many mortal realm cultivators.
The blood gathered into a river, and the World God appeared.
As a last resort, the human experts joined forces and used the nine prefectures’ cauldron to seal the World God.
The matter of the nine prefectures’ cauldrons had also become taboo. The various sects had destroyed all related information, so the stories of the cauldrons gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
Empress Changning had also discovered the secret of the nine prefectures’ cauldrons in the royal records, but at that time, she had thought it was just a legend.
This was because no one had ever heard of the mortal realm before. In this world, even breaking through to the saint cultivator realm was difficult.
Empress Changning only believed what was written in the book after He Chuan took out the fragment of the nine prefectures’ cauldron.
However, this young man and the square-faced man seemed to know very well about the secret.
It was clear that the two of them were not from the Central Plains.
In fact, they knew even more details. The young man even knew the secret of the nine prefectures’ cauldrons.
At this moment, a ferocious tiger pounced at the two of them. It seemed to have the strength of a human saint cultivator.
“You reckless animal!” after the square-faced man finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot. With a sharp wind sound, his palm directly hit the back of the tiger’s head.
Kaboom!
The sound of a watermelon bursting rang out, and the tiger’s head was instantly split into pieces.
Blood splattered everywhere.
“There’s no need to waste time with them. Let’s go to the Zhou Dynasty and take a look first! Let’s see if we can find any information regarding the nine prefectures cauldrons.” The young man frowned at the splatter of blood. He was annoyed by it.
The golden air shield rose up and blocked the blood. Then, he suddenly disappeared.
If he wanted to improve his cultivation, he had to find the nine prefectures’ cauldrons.
This was because the competition there was equally intense. The competition between the various forces was continuous. If anyone wanted to become a true leader, they had to use their impeccable strength to speak.
The square-faced man licked the blood on his hand, his eyes shining with excitement. Then, he disappeared.
It was as if the two of them had never appeared.
All that was left was a headless tiger’s corpse in Uttarakuru. The smell of blood quickly attracted other wild beasts here.
Even if he was the king of beasts when he was alive, he would still be a corpse after death.
The wild beasts all went forward and began to tear at the corpse of the former king of beasts. Whether it was the human world or the world of wild beasts, everything was like meat.
The weak would never be able to stand out. If they wanted to survive, they had to keep getting stronger. Otherwise, they would be devoured by the strong. At that time, they would have no chance to resist.
