However, the entire Huaxia Ancient Star seemed to have never experienced a shortage of essence. Liu Xun also knew that such a thing was beyond his current ability to guess, so he continued to ask: "Are the ancient families and inheritances mentioned by the elder brothers earlier very powerful?"
"That's for sure. You'll know when you get there. But remember, talk less! Otherwise, if you offend someone, your life may be in danger at any time!" The three monks said casually.
"Thank you three brothers. You are really masters. I admire you so much!" Liu Xun bowed to the three monks.
Seeing this, the three monks all said that they had gone too far, but a hint of pride on their faces showed that it was as it should be. Liu Xun smiled secretly in his heart. It turned out that no matter where they were, people always liked to hear good words.
This has nothing to do with cultivation, because this is the vanity of human nature. If Liu Xun was a cultivator with a high level of cultivation, I am afraid the current situation would be reversed. How would Liu Xun react then...
He didn't know. He only knew that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. It should be said that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak no matter where you were. It was just that this world took this truth to the extreme...
The four of them crossed countless hills. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a mountain range came into view. Liu Xun was a little stunned when he saw it.
This is a stretch of rolling mountains. He counted them silently in his mind and was even more shocked. The ninety-nine peaks were actually connected in sequence!
The highest peak is like a dragon's head, and the remaining ninety-eight peaks are like a dragon's body. With the white clouds covering the mountains, it seems as if a giant dragon is about to fly into the sky!
Nine is an extreme number, and there has been a saying since ancient times that everything returns to one. The ninety-nine peaks of the Wandao Mountain Range form the momentum of a soaring dragon breaking through the sky, and it truly lives up to the name of the Dragon Vein of China.
Walking further ahead, there were actually some trees in front of us. Ahead of the trees, there were actually a few ruined buildings. The essence of heaven and earth here was richer than that of the outside world, exuding a majestic vitality!
What is most shocking is that there is a human-shaped statue among the ninety-nine peaks. The statue is delicate yet domineering, with a long sword wrapped in linen slung behind its back!
In fact, what shocked Liu Xun was not the statue, but the fact that the statue stood on the mountain. From a distance, it looked like a man standing on a giant dragon, about to fly into the sky!
"Who is this person? Isn't he afraid of divine punishment? He actually stands on the dragon vein!" Liu Xun asked in an angry look, but there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The three monks looked at each other and laughed. At this time, one monk said, "I doubt whether you are Chinese. You don't even recognize the Emperor of Heaven?"
Liu Xun was stunned when he heard this, but then he disappeared and continued to play dumb and said, "I come from a remote village and have never seen such a big person!"
When the monks heard Liu Xun's words, they laughed again. One of them said with a smile: "This guy can't even tell the difference between a statue and a real person. What a bumpkin!"
The three monks laughed again, but then told Liu Xun the answer he wanted to know. It turned out that the statue was a statue of the Emperor of Heaven when he was young. According to rumors, when the Emperor of Heaven was young and training, his first stop was the Wandao Mountains!
At this moment, a cultivator said something that shocked Liu Xun even more, "The Emperor of Heaven is truly the number one person in China. He founded the Heavenly Court and slew thousands of enemies. Under the banner of the Heavenly Court, the entire world bows down to him!"
Liu Xun looked at the statue again after hearing this. The shock in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a gleam of brilliance. Heaven? He remembered that when he was in the cave, the carvings he saw had information about Heaven. Could it be that...
Liu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a guess in his mind was strangled before it was even born, because there was almost no similarity between the statue and the person in the cave carvings.
When he followed the three monks to the top of the first mountain, he saw countless buildings below. The endless ancient buildings were almost connected into one piece, densely packed. Although they had all collapsed, one could still imagine their former grandeur!
Looking towards the ancient buildings, I actually found a human figure, and next to the figure was the corpse of a giant snake!
Liu Xun was shocked again, because the giant snake was the one he encountered, but now it was just a corpse. Recalling the terrifying giant snake, he could guess that the monk who killed the giant snake was definitely not an ordinary person.
Some monks also appeared around the ruins of the ancient buildings, as if waiting for something. Liu Xun looked down in confusion, because he didn't notice anything different. Suddenly, the black and white flame between his eyebrows reappeared, but this time it only flashed for a moment and then disappeared!
With the appearance of black and white flames, Liu Xun felt that sense of intimacy became clearer!
Suddenly, something strange happened in the building complex. Brilliant red light shot up into the sky and instantly covered the entire complex. The wind howled, thunder and lightning struck, and countless broken stones and tiles flew everywhere!
The monks around the building complex all flew into the air to avoid the dust and rubble, but their eyes were all looking down. Liu Xun swallowed his saliva, because the original building complex had disappeared, replaced by a ground emitting red light!
Some strange runes could be seen faintly in the red light. As the divine light flickered, Liu Xun seemed to see a sudden bulge in the ground, and the red light seemed to have come through endless time and space, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life!
"It is indeed one of the places where the Emperor of Heaven once practiced seclusion!"
"Yes, otherwise there wouldn't be such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth!"
"Haha, there must be countless rare treasures and skills in it. If we don't take them now, when will we take them?"
"Yes, even without any skills, you can definitely get the blessing of the Emperor of Heaven!" Words came from the group of cultivators below.
When Liu Xun heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. It was impossible for him not to be tempted by the Emperor of Heaven's retreat place, skills, and rare treasures. But then he sighed, because he did not have the cultivation base to compete with other cultivators!
Moreover, I can’t even practice cultivation now, so what’s the use of these skills and rare treasures
Liu Xun could still distinguish the pros and cons of things. Compared with rare treasures and skills, he valued life more. The skills and rare treasures of the Emperor of Heaven were what any cultivator wanted to obtain, but the prerequisite was that one had to be alive to enjoy them, so he gave up decisively!
At this moment, a cultivator's body was filled with divine light, and brilliant green sword energy was directed towards the red ground below. But when the green sword energy just touched the red ground, the cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood and his expression looked slightly withered.
"No, there seems to be some protective formation below that can bounce my attack back!" The injured monk said slowly, with a trace of fear and trepidation in his eyes. (To be continued)
