Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

"Hu～～～～"

As Lin Dong slaughtered that gigantic toad-shaped unknown creature, a massive Blood Soul Crystal Stone floated out from its corpse.

This Blood Soul Crystal Stone was half pitch-black, because within it there was an extremely vast amount of "Spiritual Poison Element".

"This Spiritual Power really is thick and rich." Lin Dong looked at that Blood Soul Crystal Stone and muttered.

Compared to the few Blood Soul Crystal Stones Lin Dong had refined before, the Spiritual Power energy contained in this one was at least ten times greater.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, a trace of excitement in his heart, and placed it into the Dragon Ring Space.

After he took away the Blood Soul Crystal Stone, the toad-shaped unknown creature’s "corpse" below also turned into a wisp of cyan smoke and dispersed into the air.

This kind of unknown creature seemed to have no concrete "fleshly body"; once the Blood Soul Crystal Stone was taken, its "Form" would turn into cyan smoke and dissipate.

"I remember what this thing is now, it’s a Ghost Beast. In Ancient Times, I also once saw such a thing. Rumor has it that before the Ancient Times, there was a chaotic ’Dark Age’. In that era, the Human Clan was not the most powerful race."

"Within the Cultivation World there were still other races: the Demon Clan, the Ghost Beast race. At that time, the most powerful race was the Ghost Beast race. But later, that strongest myth ended the Dark Age. The Ghost Beast race was almost wiped out, basically nowhere to be seen. As for the Demon Clan, no matter what type of demon they were, they were all suppressed by the Human Clan."

"The Human Clan thus became the most powerful race. Down to this very day..."

The Sovereign Witch in the Dragon Ring Space suddenly spoke a secret. This was something that simply did not appear in Martial Arts History.

Lin Dong was curious. "Why does Martial Arts History only record up to the Ancient Times, only about ten thousand Years? What was the Martial Arts World like more than ten thousand Years ago? Why is there no record?"

The Sovereign Witch shook her head. "I’m not sure either, perhaps there is some hidden secret."

Lin Dong was even more curious about another matter. "I’ve always heard that in our Human Clan’s Martial Arts History, there is a true Ten Thousand Years Myth!"

"Who exactly is he? Since he is such a Ten Thousand Years Myth, why didn’t he leave behind his name, leave behind all kinds of legends?"

Lin Dong had read quite a lot of history of the Martial Arts World and knew there was a true Ten Thousand Years Myth. That Ten Thousand Years Myth was, since records began, the strongest person!

Yet the records about Him were exceedingly scarce. For other Thousand-Year Myths, there were many records, leaving behind many legends.

Even some Hundred-Year Myths had left behind plenty of Martial Arts records, Martial Arts sayings from Gods, but he had not...

They did not even know his name; they only knew that in Martial Arts History there existed such a Ten Thousand Years Myth!

The Sovereign Witch said, "It should be that He deliberately concealed Himself, wiped away everything of His existence. He allowed people only to know that there was once such a person who came, who once reached for the Martial Arts Peak..."

Hearing her words, Lin Dong’s heart was incomparably shocked; he blurted out and asked, "Why would He do that?"

"He had already reached the top Martial Artist realm, achieving a Ten Thousand Years Myth. Why would He erase the marks of His former existence, let people forget Him?"

"Shouldn’t He, like those emperors, have His achievements recorded on a grand scale, His mythic tales written down?"

Lin Dong could not understand it. Emperors of ancient times, as saints, would all ask specialists to write their biographies, leaving historical books to sing of Their merits. Why then did this Ten Thousand Years Myth of the Martial Arts World instead act in the opposite way?

Erasing the marks of His existence—how could that benefit Him? Lin Dong did not believe that such a being was merely trying to keep a low profile!

There must be a reason.

As for what specific reason, Lin Dong truly could not figure it out.

The Sovereign Witch naturally did not know the reason either. "That I don’t know. But that matter of the Dark Age arising out of nowhere was something my master told me. Back then he seemed to have learned some records pertaining to that Ten Thousand Years Myth."

"Or perhaps my master, when he was still young, might even have heard of, or witnessed, some of His mythic deeds..."

"Oh? Then Senior Sovereign Witch, have you heard your master mention any other things about that person? For example, what His name actually was?"

"Or, whether He was a Man or a Woman, what His Looks were roughly like? And other mythic legends—are there any?" Lin Dong asked curiously.

Clearly, Lin Dong very much wanted to understand Him, that true Ten Thousand Years Myth.

After all, he himself was also called a "Mythical Figure of Ten Thousand Years"; in the future he might become a new Ten Thousand Years Myth, surpass that person, and become the strongest in Martial Arts History.

To stand as number one in Martial Arts History!

In that case, learning a bit about that Ten Thousand Years Myth was naturally quite normal.

The Sovereign Witch pondered for a long time before responding, "Whether He is a Man or a Woman, what He looks like—these personal-details-type Things, even my master clearly could not possibly know... You must understand, unless you’ve seen Him in person, you cannot be clear."

"And since He deliberately concealed His existence and wanted later generations to forget all traces of Him, then these things He clearly would not allow people to see."

"It’s just like an ancestor-level powerhouse: if they wish to hide their appearance from all beings below ancestor-level, no one can see it. He all the more so. He is a Ten Thousand Years Myth; in the Martial Arts no one can surpass Him. If He had long since laid out a plan for later generations to forget all traces of His existence, then He would not possibly let people see His Looks or come to know His Form in detail..."

"At most, He would leave behind some Martial Arts legends. And these Martial Arts legends might not all be true, and only those at the very Peak of Martial Arts would be able to glimpse them..."

Hearing this, Lin Dong nodded, feeling it was very reasonable and fair.

"Then what other mythic legends did He leave behind? Could this Nine-layered Heaven Tower have been created by Him?" Lin Dong Suddenly asked.

The reason he would ask this and think this way was because Lin Dong had connected it to one matter.

Namely, the rumor that He quelled the Dark Age, forged the Human Clan into the strongest race, and all but annihilated that powerful race of "Ghost Beasts". It was obvious that in the Dark Age, He had suppressed many "Ghost Beasts".

And inside this Nine-layered Heaven Tower, there were many "Ghost Beasts" suppressed. Did this not link together?

Could it be regarded as a clue, to doubt that this Nine-layered Heaven Tower was once that "Ten Thousand Years Myth’s" weapon? That the "Ghost Beasts" suppressed within it were all those He suppressed back then?

There was nothing wrong with Lin Dong’s logic; such doubt was entirely reasonable and fair.

After hearing him out, the Sovereign Witch also said, "It’s possible! Perhaps only such a being could control such a supreme treasure."

"Otherwise, I really don’t know what kind of person could operate this Nine-layered Heaven Tower!"

"You must realize, right now it’s only the First Heavenly Layer of the Nine-layered Heaven Tower, and it’s already so terrifying. Let alone operating it—just trying to fully explore this First Heavenly Layer is incomparably difficult for us..."

"Yes." Lin Dong nodded. It was impossible to imagine just how strong that true Ten Thousand Years Myth really was.

He was still far, far from that level!

Such a being could probably casually pluck out a single hair and slaughter him.

"But Lin Dong, this isn’t what you should be thinking about right now. Hurry up and search what treasures there are inside this Thunder Well." The Sovereign Witch At the moment reminded him.

Then Lin Dong, though filled with all kinds of doubt, could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and return to the reality At the moment.

He did not go on thinking about why that Ten Thousand Years Myth wanted to hide all traces of His existence, nor did he think about what myths He had forged or how strong He was specifically, but instead focused back on Myself in the here and now.

Lin Dong had never been one to aim too high; he would only Cultivate with his feet on the ground, steadily raising himself...

He stored the Blood Soul Crystal Stone into the Dragon Ring Space, then began searching for the treasures that existed within this Thunder Well.

The toad-shaped unknown creature suppressed in this Thunder Well had been quite formidable. The treasure in this Thunder Well belonging to it should not be too poor either.

What would it be? Lin Dong felt a bit of anticipation rising!
