Chapter 1148 - 576: Family
Damn it, hitched a ride and woke up to find myself straight in Kun State?
Chen Xuantian was speechless, but thinking about it, it made sense. A dignified company official, dealing with trillions every second, how could he possibly wait in a duck shed for you to recover?
Seeing that he had just been chased out of Cloud Platform after making a bunch of enemies, getting taken along a thousand miles away to escape a disaster was already a big help.
Watching horses exhaust themselves running on the mountain trails, he gazed at the endless snowy peaks of Kunlun in the distance, like a vast ice wall standing at the end of the sky, dividing the edge of the earth. Looking around at the towering green mountains, Chen Xuantian didn’t know where he was, so he had to fly down from the sky first and find someone to ask for directions.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Kun State, separated by Kunlun in the west, bordered by Yun Meng to the east, with Juelong Ridge to the north, and the Li River water system and the Ten Thousand Mountains to the south, was a magical-force-filled basin, famous for its rich land and countless Immortal Families.
Just as Chen Xuantian descended into the lower troposphere, he heard banging and clattering on the ground, with dazzling lights flashing in the mountains, Spiritual Qi flourishing—clearly a group of people having a sword fighting contest.
Just a glance and a bit of finger calculation revealed that this group’s standard was really low. Although all were Golden Core level, they couldn’t be compared to the standard of Cloud Platform and were completely like a bunch of trash minnows, the kind that Chen Xuantian could wipe out within seconds, anyone random could come and slaughter the place.
What made Chen Xuantian most speechless was that this group clearly had low realms, incomplete spells, insufficient Qi, and lacking in spirit, yet they still insisted on using magic treasures, utterly clueless.
One should know that at least after the Nascent Soul stage, after practicing the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique can one truly unleash the power of magic treasures. Unless they have some kind of cheat like Chen Xuantian’s Quantum YCM, Golden Core Realm cultivators are already doing well if they can control objects and make them fly. They have no extra Divine Sense to spare for anything else, with talismans, Dharma Seals, and Divine Skills all useless, smashing things like bricks seems pointless, and if it breaks, it needs repair—doesn’t your heart ache?
However, strangely enough, they were willing to throw them because they had plenty of magic treasures, and the quality was not bad. Most were legitimately made by the Immortal Families, some even graded; there were flying swords, hammers, knives, practically eighteen kinds of weapons, along with smoke banners, treasure basins, flower baskets for protection. It looked like a turn-based battle; you throw a wave of swords, I smash a load of treasures. When the Qi is exhausted, rest and switch, just like two groups of monkeys throwing stones at each other, looking quite humorous.
Well, don’t laugh at their rustic ways. Let’s just say, in this Taiji Realm, even trivial matters have their causes and effects.
Like the previous carnage in Yun Meng when they fought Kunlun Demon Path, it turned out that over the millennium, some Kunlun demons tried to invade the Central Plains, and the main battlefield was Kun State.
Yes, every map of the Nine Provinces and Twelve Countries has its own tribulations and tempering, with demons, ghosts, and all sorts of weird creatures from all directions planning to invade the Central Plains.
It’s just that other states have the Mystic Sect holding the line; the situation in Kan State was broken by the Immortal Palace, not that they couldn’t hold it, but they were forced by their people, causing a chain reaction, leaving the world in chaos. Alas, Immortal Palace...
Cough cough, in short, judging by intensity alone, the difficulty of Kun State’s tribulation is definitely high. Kunlun Immortal Realm was originally an advanced map, with Five Immortals, Seven Monsters, and Thirteen Sects all starting from Divinity Transformation, and since they were driven into the mountains by the Divine Lord, recalculating, they have regrouped, gone into seclusion for cultivation, accumulated two thousand years of heritage, all achieving great success before coming out.
This group of old demons charged in fiercely, eager to overthrow the world, competing with Mystic Sect for supremacy, reclaiming what they lost. Were it not for the right timing of the Mystic Sect Leader Lingxu’s emergence, beating them sorely, driving them back to the snow mountains for reflection, the world might have collapsed a thousand years ago.
However, no matter how fierce Lingxu is, he couldn’t take on everyone alone; his rise was through numerous carnage and rapid training. Before his enlightenment at least, the backbone of this war was the local Mystic Sect of Kun State, and the aftermath of this Immortal-Demon tribulation is vividly clear.
The most apparent thing is this heap of magic treasures, specifically refined for this war. The Mystic Sect’s biggest disadvantage is the slow cultivation in the early stage, outnumbered and overwhelmed. Therefore, to allow even Golden Core level disciples to join the battle, they used magic treasures to slightly increase output, indicating the atrocity of this battle back then.
The Mystic Sect orthodoxy in the entire Kun State bore the brunt, almost swept clean by the group of demons, with many Divine Monarch True Man suffering heavy casualties, and numerous Hidden Immortal inheritances cut off, with many sects attacked and wiped out.
So after winning the tribulation, the local Mystic Sect mostly went into seclusion, disengaged, or reincarnated, much like the unrest of Xiaoyao, disappearing from the world. Now, in the mountains of Ba Shu, there are visible battlefields between Immortals and demons, sealed Demon Gods, True Immortals, sect relics, making all of Kun State a map for grave digging and feng shui training explorations.
Of course, the Mystic Sect has its rules, you can dig for their lost Divine Skills and Treasures inheritances, but essentially, the Mystic Sect won this battle. They’re not really gone; they sacrificed defending the world and went into reincarnation and transposition. The consequences will be repaid when their time comes, why bother?
