The Stone Emperor's eyes swept over the You King and the others, and there was a hint of self-mockery in his voice as he said, "This great calamity naturally doesn't only target the Wasteland Realm. It will sweep through every corner of the world at any time. Perhaps the people from outside the realm are still thinking of fleeing to our place."
"Stone Emperor, where did you learn about this secret? Could it be that you are just exaggerating to scare us?" an elder asked in doubt.
"According to the records of the Imperial Family, this is a cycle of reincarnation. The Ancient Era, Ancient Era, and Ancient Era all had great calamities. In the end, the supreme cultivators were like weeds. They either died or disappeared. "
The Stone Emperor shook his head and sighed. "We can't escape this calamity, either.
"What's even more laughable is that when the great calamity ends, all the truth will be erased. The various powerful clans won't know anything, and they will be muddle-headed and confused."
The Stone Emperor spoke softly, and it was as if he had fallen into a nightmare that he couldn't escape from.
There was nothing more frightening than this. It was one thing for a great calamity to occur, but in the end, even the reason and truth would be erased, and it would be difficult to pass it down. That was the true horror!
After hearing the Stone Emperor's words, the supreme cultivators felt a chill run down their spines, and they felt uneasy.
"The previous Stone Emperor talked about the theory of medicinal fields. When supreme cultivators die, low-level cultivators won't be punished. It's like spiritual herbs in a medicinal field. The mature ones will be picked, and the young ones will be preserved," the Stone Emperor continued as he recalled.
When the You King, Thousand Joy Venerable, and the others heard this, they all gasped. What kind of analogy was this? What kind of theory was this? After hearing it, they felt a chill run down their spines from head to toe.
Gradually, the supreme cultivators' hearts became heavy, and they found it difficult to relax.
They knew that a great calamity was coming, but they didn't even know what it was!
"Benefactor, how much do you know about the great calamity that the Stone Emperor speaks of?"
At this moment, Shi Zhongtian walked over to Chu Bei, who was sipping tea, and bowed respectfully.
When the Stone Emperor mentioned the great calamity, Shi Zhongtian's expression was as calm as an ancient well, and there wasn't any fluctuation in his emotions. It was as if he already knew about this great calamity, and he didn't fear it at all.
At almost the same time, the supreme cultivators, including the Stone Emperor, You King, and Thousand Joy Venerable, all looked at Chu Bei's body.
They had almost forgotten about this mysterious person who had lived for who knew how many years!
His strength was exceedingly high, and he'd long since surpassed the Exalt Realm. However, he was still alive and well. So, why wasn't he affected by the calamity?
Looking at the other party's calm and composed appearance, it was as if he didn't care about the impending calamity at all.
When Chu Bei met the confused and expectant gazes of the Stone Emperor, Serene King, and the others, he put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a calm voice, "Do you know how many other regions are there besides the Wasteland Region?"
"There are a total of eight regions in this great world — Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, Universe, Flood, and Desolation. Each region is incomparably vast. If you want to travel to another region, you either have to break through the barrier with a supreme Mystical Ability or rely on a primordial formation to teleport you there," the Stone Emperor said.
"Not bad."
Chu Bei nodded slightly and said, "You can treat these eight regions as the lower realm, and above them is the upper realm. To the Upper Realm, the Lower Realm was a cage. In the eyes of the people from the Upper Realm, the people from the Lower Realm are no different from prisoners. "
"In the eight regions of the Lower Realm, the Regulations are incomplete, the Great Dao is incomplete, and all kinds of order are unstable."
When he said this, Chu Bei pointed at the sky outside the hall, and said, "At night, look at the starry sky. Only a few stars are real, and most of them are condensed from the magic power of ancient supreme beings. There are also a large number of them that are projections of galaxies from the Upper Realm."
"There's actually a Upper Realm! What kind of place is that?! "The Serene King, Stone Emperor, and the others were filled with shock, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The Upper Realm is boundless, and it's several thousand times vaster than the eight regions. In fact, some ancient sects and inheritances can even be traced back to the time when the sky was created. As for the elites, there are innumerable. If you so-called Venerables go to the Upper Realm, you won't even be able to make a splash. You'll be no different from ants. "Chu Bei tidied his clothes, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Senior, then what exactly is this great calamity?" The Venerables changed their words, and looked at Chu Bei respectfully.
"It's nothing more than a few giants from the Upper Realm descending and coming to the Lower Realm to carry out a massacre. If they take a fancy to you and bring you to the Upper Realm, you might still be able to live. As for those who aren't worthy of their attention, they'll kill you on the spot, "Chu Bei said leisurely.
"Damn it! Turns out this great calamity is man-made! "
"There are no grievances or enmity between us. Why do these giants from the Upper Realm want to kill us?!"
"Hateful! What right do they have to decide our life and death?! "
…
After learning about the so-called great calamity from Chu Bei, the faces of Venerable Thousand Joy, Stone Emperor, Serene King, and the others immediately became overcast, and resentment appeared in their eyes.
"In their eyes, the Lower Realm's eight regions are all sinners. As for this sin, when the day comes, you will naturally understand. There's no point in me saying anything more. "
Chu Bei tidied his clothes, and then got up to look at Shi Hao. "Let's go. Master will bring you to see father and mother."
Shi Hao stared blankly for a moment. When he snapped back to reality, he continuously nodded emotionally.
When he thought about how they were separated eight months ago and how his memories were lost, Shi Hao's heart felt a bit sour.
He was raised in Stone Village and never had the chance to experience warmth in front of his parents. Sometimes, he was lonely, sometimes mischievous, sometimes smiling brilliantly. He grew up in the village without a care in the world.
If not for his master displaying an unmatched divine ability and recreating the scenes of the past, he wouldn't even know what his parents looked like.
He took refuge in Stone Village and grew up in Stone Village. He hadn't seen his parents for almost three years, and there was no news of them at all.
"Father, mother, have you guys been well?"
Shi Hao said softly. After the excitement passed, his expression became a bit absent-minded, as if the softest part of his heart had been touched.
"Master, where are father, mother, and the others?" Shi Hao widened his eyes as he looked at Chu Bei.
His current memories all started from Stone Village. Even though the simple and honest Stone Village people all treated him well, especially Grandpa Village Chief, there was still a bit of blood that was missing.
"Immortal Mountain." Chu Bei's lips moved slightly, spitting out these three syllables.
"What? The two of them went to the mysterious region?! "Shi Zhongtian and Stone Emperor revealed looks of shock.
The Immortal Mountain was located in the mysterious region's chaotic secret land, Five Phase Mountain Range. It was an ancient inheritance that was well-known throughout the eight regions.
Shi Hao's mother was precisely the Immortal Mountain's previous holy lady.
"Benefactor, I wonder if your distinguished self can bring me along?" Shi Zhongtian walked up and cupped his fists.
"Of course." Chu Bei revealed a faint smile.
"Your distinguished self is going to borrow the archaic great formation or …?" Stone Emperor asked curiously.
"It isn't that troublesome."
When the calm voice that carried a smile sounded, Chu Bei took a step forward. A layer of ripples appeared in the void around him.
The ripples disappeared. Chu Bei, Shi Hao, and Shi Zhongtian's figures disappeared from the main hall.
Half an hour later.
Mysterious Region.
"Senior, this place is?"
On a cliff, there was hazy multicolored light. Immortal energy surged, and all types of symbols were as dense as stars.
Shi Zhongtian's eyes swept over his surroundings. His mouth was wide open, and his face was full of suspicion and shock.
In his line of sight, there were magnificent mountains rising and falling. It was as if a True Dragon was lying down. It was extremely magnificent. Large amounts of purple mist rose. This was an auspicious omen.
"Five Phase Mountain Range."
Chu Bei's hands were behind his back as he looked forward.
"We … we've already arrived!"
After confirming his suspicions with Chu Bei's words, Shi Zhongtian's lips trembled. He swallowed his saliva, and when he looked at Chu Bei again, his eyes were filled with even more respect and adoration.
Not to mention how sturdy the region's walls were, even if one could break through them, it would still take several dozen days to travel a hundred thousand kilometers from the wasteland's Stone Country to the mysterious region.
However, the other party only used a few minutes to do so!
To travel through great regions with a single step, what kind of heaven defying method was this?!
Shi Zhongtian took a deep breath. The mysterious existence in front of him might be tens or even hundreds of times more powerful than he had imagined!
As far as the eye could see, in the Five Phase Mountain Range below, countless enormous mountains towered. Immortal mists curled about them, as if heavenly dragons were sleeping one after another.
At the very center, the great peak's shape was special. It was as if a palm was pressing down on it. It was extremely strange and released an indescribable aura. It gave off an immortal feeling.
This great peak was the main body of the Immortal Mountain. As for the other peaks, they were just auxiliary peaks that protected it.
There were even records in ancient texts that the Immortal Mountain's original name was Five Phase Mountain. There was a matchless figure below, and even after endless years passed, it was still difficult to truly refine him to death.
Of course, even though there were records of this, the Immortal Mountain had always denied it. They had never acknowledged it.
Honglonglong —
Just as Chu Bei was about to bring Shi Hao down to the Immortal Mountain, the heavens above the Immortal Mountain suddenly distorted. Following that, waves of great dao sounds rang through the air.
A moment later, a circular opening slowly appeared. All types of auspicious light danced about, and auspicious colors scattered down. One could vaguely see many extremely powerful magical artifacts opening the way.
"Senior, what is going on with this irregular scene?" Shi Zhongtian looked at the circular opening with a puzzled expression. He looked towards Chu Bei.
"Look! The higher realms' Immortal Mountain's people have arrived! "
Without waiting for Chu Bei's reply, an excited voice sounded from within the Immortal Mountain.
Then, within rumbling sounds, several war chariots flew out from the Immortal Mountain. There were several figures standing on each war chariot, and all of them naturally released incomparably powerful auras.
Among them, there was no lack of elders standing on auspicious beasts. They stood in the air and looked towards the opening in anticipation.
They only saw a great golden path unfold from the circular opening, extending into the Immortal Mountain. Flower petals filled the sky, and they were sparkling and translucent. It was as if great dao flowers were blooming in the air.
"Master, someone came out!"
Shi Hao stayed in Chu Bei's bosom and pointed towards the circular opening. That place was extremely dazzling. Powerful magical artifacts opened the path, and an endless rain of flowers scattered down. A sweet fragrance wafted through the air.
"Are these the people from the higher realms? What an extravagant display! "
Shi Zhongtian muttered softly. There were a total of seven people on the great golden path. There were two middle-aged men and five young men and women.
"Benefactor, for them to come to the Immortal Mountain at this time, could it be related to the great calamity that is about to arrive?" Shi Zhongtian seemed to have thought of something. He pointed at the seven figures and asked.
Chu Bei nodded indifferently. "They should be here to receive the supreme experts from the mountain."
As soon as his voice fell, Chu Bei had already brought the two of them into the skies above the Immortal Mountain.
"Who are you all! You actually dare to casually appear in my Immortal Mountain's territory! "
"Could it be that you don't even know the Immortal Mountain's rules? Those who enter the Immortal Mountain without permission will be severely punished! "
In just a few seconds, a group of Immortal Mountain cultivators surrounded Chu Bei. They all glared at him angrily. There were men and women, young and old, and their auras were all different.
When they heard the disturbance, the seven figures that came from the higher realms on the great golden path all looked towards Chu Bei.
