Chapter 308: Burial Area, Legend of the 9 Heavens!
After a long time, the pitch-black small world traversed space multiple times and arrived at a safe location.
In fact,
The Celestial Eternal Race had long mastered this skill; after all, for tens of thousands of years, they had been hiding and wandering.
They lived in the Nine Heavens Realm, with a vast influence, yet managed to remain undiscovered by the native inhabitants of the Nine Heavens Realm, their concealment skills were remarkable.
Not only that.
They possessed powerful intelligence capabilities, in a sense, the entire Celestial Eternal Race were natural underground operatives.
As the saying goes, prolonged illness makes the doctor.
Just like people living in the mountains excel at climbing, while those by the sea are good at swimming—all driven by necessity!
From this perspective, the Celestial Eternal Race is quite pitiful.
Though they may shout behind closed doors about making a comeback, most members of the Celestial Eternal Race have lost that ambition, just wanting to live a stable life, yet finding it very difficult to achieve.
During the past battle for the Divine Object, they threw in their full force but met defeat in the Nine Heavens Realm, leading to the fall of numerous top-tier experts.
Misfortunes never come singly!
Their homeland—the Celestial Permanence Realm—also suffered because of the loss of top-tier experts elsewhere, causing a severe drain of the world’s essence, completely exhausting the realm into a desolate land unfit for survival.
"From now on, your main task is to gather intelligence for me. Report any abnormal events you uncover."
In the Celestial Eternal Race’s highest meeting, Qin Chuan leaned forward with both hands on the long table, speaking in a commanding manner.
In front of him.
The meeting table was very long, even longer than the conference table in his previous life as a CEO, with the high-ranking members of the Celestial Eternal Race seated on both sides, neatly and endlessly stretching beyond sight.
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The crowd responded in unison.
They held respect for Qin Chuan, after all, they were all Martial Emperors, and strong individuals naturally respect those stronger than them.
More importantly, when unable to resist, holding onto resentment internally with suppressed anger only leads to more discomfort.
"Very good."
Seeing this, Qin Chuan wore a satisfied smile.
In truth, his submission of the Celestial Eternal Race was primarily for intelligence; only by mastering intelligence could he maintain his advantage.
For instance, if the grassroots somewhere mutated again, or if some wealthy person acquired technology, he needed to know in time to take measures.
More importantly.
Calculating the time, Lin Yi’s mother’s family members should soon arrive in this world, and he must track their whereabouts immediately to prevent these higher realm visitors from catching him unaware.
Indeed!
If they discovered Qin Zi first, while he hadn’t discovered them, they might come to get rid of father and son!
If they dealt with Qin Zi first, that’s better.
However, the normal logical sequence seems to be handling the greater threat first, then tormenting the lesser one, so if they plan to strike, they’d likely target him first, which he wouldn’t withstand.
The most secure method is to take proactive action—deliberately send Qin Xiaozhu out to occupy their attention.
Once they make a move against Qin Xiaozhu with murderous intent, he would then stand invincible.
...
The weather was clear and the gentle breeze was pleasant.
In the sky, white clouds floated lazily, like tufts of cotton drifting.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, space fluctuated, then a fist-sized, pitch-black sphere abruptly appeared.
"Clatter!"
The sphere spun continuously before exploding and vanishing into nothing, leaving behind a group of dazed figures in the sky, including the Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor and Human Race Holy Hall’s experts.
"Qin Chuan!!"
After a short suppression, the Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor let out a furious low roar, his aura surged, shattering the myriad clouds.
Seeing this, the other experts were in silent fear.
After a long time.
The Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor regained calm, coldly saying, "Sun Swallowing, you misjudged this time. Explain it to me!"
Turning, he looked at the Golden Dawn Hall Master beside him and asked, "Where are we? Quickly calculate the exact coordinate location."
He specialized in power and was clueless about magic, with astronomy and geography being a complete mess for him.
"Alright."
The Golden Dawn Hall Master observed the celestial phenomena with deep vision, seemingly able to see stars through daylight, then quickly calculated the geographical location.
Soon, he reached a conclusion, stating with twitching lips:
"If I calculated correctly, we should be in the desolate zone beyond the three race territories, also known as... the Burial Area."
Wow!
This stirred up a tremendous commotion among the others, leaving them unsettled, even gasping in surprise.
"Burial Area! Ancient Terrible Land!"
"We’ve actually come here!"
Even the bold and skilled Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor’s expression became extremely solemn, gritting his teeth.
Burial Area!
This is a forbidden zone in the Nine Heavens Realm, and interestingly, this forbidden zone’s area is larger than the combined territories of the three major races.
It’s even said to be the main part of the Nine Heavens Realm, while the territories of the three major races are merely corners.
However.
This vast unbounded Burial Area is a desolate zone with a collapsed Great Dao, lacking Spiritual Energy, entirely in a state of the end of magic.
Here.
Most Divine Techniques of cultivators become ineffective, unable to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth because the heavenly and earthly forces here are exhausted.
What’s even more frightening.
Is that staying in this region for a prolonged period causes one’s internal power to inexplicably decline, as if subjected to some sort of erosion.
This erosion is similar to that of certain Lands of Decay but even more subtle and powerful.
"It’s said, many years ago, the Nine Heavens Realm suffered a massive collapse, creating this dreadful Burial Area."
Golden Dawn Hall Master murmured softly:
"Some say it’s the despairing emotions from heaven’s downfall that turned this place into a terrible land, while others claim a legendary unimaginable strong person’s curse upon dying made an entire era their burial offering."
Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor’s face darkened, coldly snorting:
"Whatever the case may be, we’re in big trouble this time! This place is easy to enter but hard to exit, with mysterious ancient forces seemingly preventing us from leaving. We might die here."
Saying this, he gritted his teeth even more, lifting his head, mouth emitting a beast-like wail:
"Qin! Chuan! Next time we meet, I will take your head!!"
"And Sun Swallowing, if it weren’t for your continuous favoritism and shielding him, I would’ve eliminated him long ago, and today’s predicament wouldn’t exist!"
Golden Dawn Hall Master pulled the Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor gently and whispered:
"Dragon-seizing, we should keep quiet. Making too much noise in the Burial Area might attract some terrible things."
Upon hearing this, recalling the fragments he’s seen in ancient texts, the Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor felt a chill.
Though he’s an extreme powerhouse and considered one of the Nine Heavens Realm’s strongest throughout history.
However, this so-called "throughout history" holds some water, as the Nine Heavens Realm’s history has gaps.
It’s suspected that the Nine Heavens Realm had an extremely glorious civilization long ago.
Comparing to that time, the current so-called prosperity of the Nine Heavens Realm is merely like a primitive age of savagery.
Thus, certain "terrible things" in the Burial Area are genuinely terrifying.
"Let’s move, act discreetly, and escape the Burial Area."
Ultimately, the Dragon-seizing Martial Emperor exclaimed softly.
Then, leading the group of Holy Hall’s experts, he sneaked cautiously towards the Human Race Territory like thieves.
Extremely miserable.
And the more miserable they were, the deeper his hatred towards Qin Chuan grew, even despising to vent his anger by wanting to crush Qin Chuan’s offspring!
