Chapter 352: Chapter 352: The 2nd Forbidden Divine Mountain!
Time flies, and three years have passed.
During these three years, the Nine Skies Realm has continued its resurgence, with various major forces and powerful individuals successively awakening, sweeping across the Nine Skies Realm.
The forces awakening at this stage are no longer the riffraff of the past but factions with some renown even in the ancient Mystical Yellow Heaven.
Moreover.
The Qingye Celestial Sect has also shown signs of movement, with some of its powerhouses unsealing, including even an Elder!
This Elder was once a formidable existence who had undergone the Nine Trials of the Firmament, undoubtedly one of the most terrifying beings at this stage.
Now, in the Nine Skies Realm, various monsters are resurging, with many places lurking with extremely terrifying existences.
In short, this world has become fraught with danger.
And Qin Chuan, however, has disappeared!
Many godlike powerhouses, upon awakening, considered stepping on Qin Chuan to make a name for themselves, but he vanished as if into thin air. No matter how these powerhouses provoked or slandered, he never showed up.
Thus, many people circulate the saying that Qin Chuan, estimated to have fallen behind in strength, has dropped out of the mainstream and thus does not dare to emerge.
It is understandable for them to think so.
After all, the contemporary powerhouses are difficult to compare with the resurgent ancient powerhouses, simply incomparable.
This is because the ancient powerhouses were inherently strong, merely sealed, and now that they are unsealed, naturally, they regain strength more quickly than starting anew.
Although the world’s environment is increasingly suitable for cultivation now, these ancient powerhouses once trained in the Mystical Yellow Heaven at its peak, with conditions and resources far surpassing those of today.
"Boom!"
"Crack—"
On this day, the entire world shook violently. Countless people raised their eyes in horror, only to see numerous lightning bolts rampaging like giant pythons, and then the Celestial Vault split open to reveal an incredibly huge crack.
This splitting was not ordinary space shattering, but the world completely opening up, connecting with the outside world.
"Are those worlds too?"
"So many, so many..."
The beings of the Nine Skies Realm saw through the crack, witnessing the scene outside the Nine Skies Realm: glowing spheres floating in a vacuum, like air bubbles in water, constantly rising and falling.
Except these "bubbles" were incredibly immense, and though they were far away, their grandeur could still be felt.
The worlds are as numerous as grains of sand in the Ganges!
"What’s that?!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed because, beyond the crack, a massive gray mountain barged forcefully in.
It seemed to be the very thing that tore the world’s crack.
"Is this... the Forbidden Divine Mountain?"
"There’s another Forbidden Divine Mountain! Such defiant things are not limited to just one?!"
Many contemporary powerhouses cried out shrilly, incredibly shocked, for the resurgence of the world was triggered by the previous Forbidden Divine Mountain.
The ancient powerhouses, however, were not overly surprised but were excited, each with burning eyes.
"It’s back, truly back!"
"Back then, the giants of our Mystical Yellow Heaven declared that the day the Forbidden Divine Mountain returns would be the time for Mystical Yellow Heaven’s resurgence!"
"Now, the first one’s back, and the second one’s back too; more will follow until they all return."
They were all very excited.
The glories of the past must be reclaimed, the old grudges settled, and clearly, they couldn’t do it alone.
Because the heavens really fell, you need tall ones to hold them up.
"Boom——"
Soon, the Forbidden Divine Mountain, accompanied by countless lightning bolts, plummeted and eventually crashed onto a desolate plain.
The earth shook.
Dust filled the sky.
The vast plain turned into a basin, and the center sunk deep, forming a dark abyss.
The terrifying shockwave swept through half of the Nine Skies Realm, many mountains were leveled, and it even caused a tsunami.
"The flood is coming!"
"Run!"
"Xiu Er’s father!!"
"It’s an immortal, an immortal has come to save me!"
Many human tragedies and heartfelt moments played out in various corners, yet they did not affect the grand scheme of heaven and earth.
History, like a torrential flood, is irreversible, and the ants drowned in the flood are destined to be countless, helplessly so.
"I vaguely heard back then, the giants left countless legacies and opportunities inside the Forbidden Divine Mountain, saying it was for those fated to find them."
"I heard it too!"
"When the heavens crumbled then, indeed such a voice echoed in the sky, the whole world could hear it, but... was this Forbidden Divine Mountain left by the giant who spoke those words?"
"Shouldn’t they be about the same, both giants of our Mystical Yellow Heaven, how far apart could their mindsets and visions be?"
"If that’s the case, then..."
Thus, many ancient powerhouses silently rose and rapidly flew towards this Forbidden Divine Mountain.
The previous Forbidden Divine Mountain was already sealed; now, no one could enter, so they had no choice but to worship... oh no, raid this mountain instead.
"Swish, swish, swish!!"
A multitude of figures shot into the sky from all directions, like carp traveling up a river, almost countless.
Feeling the overwhelming aura of power, countless beings of this era were shocked and trembled in awe.
Who would have thought there were so many resurgent ancient powerhouses, and they had utterly become the bottom tier!
"Hmph, I shall take a gamble too! I’ve barely stepped into the Celestial Sect realm now; I can still test my luck. If I wait any longer, this bit of strength might be utterly insignificant."
"Beastmen shall never be slaves!"
"I am the Demon Ancestor; if even I blend into the masses, who will shield my Demon Race? I must fight!"
Thus, many top-tier powerhouses of this era set out, quietly blending into the ranks of ancient powerhouses.
The contemporary powerhouses were not entirely worthless; though lacking the foundation of the ancients, in certain aspects of disguise, they were no less than ancient powerhouses.
Those contemporary powerhouses who mixed in, apart from the few who were crushed by ancient powerhouses, mostly went unnoticed, like a husky blended into a pack of wolves, sneaky but harmless.
At this moment.
In a mountain concealed by treasures and arrays, Qin Chuan awoke Qin Xiaozhu from cultivation.
"Xiao Zi, the second Forbidden Divine Mountain has descended, with all sides fiercely competing. It’s time you went out for some activity as well."
Qin Chuan smiled as he spoke.
"Alright!"
Qin Zi nodded.
Since marrying, he had been at home studying dual cultivation. If it weren’t for his father urging him to get out and about, he wouldn’t have left the mountain.
And now.
Having experienced the wonders of Shui Qingrou, his cultivation had advanced rapidly, reaching the Lingxiao stage long ago.
He admitted that his cultivation speed involved some cheating, but regardless, he was now qualified to go out and about!
"Father, I heard that the revived Elder of the Qingye Celestial Sect seems to be searching for me. Will it be safe for me to go out?"
Suddenly, Qin Zi asked.
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "No matter where or when, just keep moving forward. As for what’s behind... I’ve got it covered!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zi felt a deep warmth in his heart.
But he still asked, "Father, I heard that Elder is terrifying. Can you handle him now?"
"I can’t."
Qin Chuan shook his head, speaking truthfully: "But, if he dares to lay a hand on you, then he’ll have to die!!"
His tone was firm, filled with confidence.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zi was no longer worried, so he left the secluded mountain and headed towards the Forbidden Divine Mountain.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to instruct Shui Qingrou to release the day’s catch of tadpoles back into the water.
