"This …"
Su Yin's pupils shrank as his entire body trembled, revealing an expression of shock.
Using an entire world as a Boundary Artifact …
He had to admit that it would be no weaker than the Five Elemental Sacred Mountain. In fact, it might even be stronger!
Just that … did the thirty-six teachers just come up with this idea, or did they plan it ten thousand years ago?
If they had prepared all of this ten thousand years ago, it would be too terrifying!
"The Dry Origin World used to be an ordinary Minor World. After we were killed, we borrowed the power of faith from countless believers and the strength of many experts to temper it for ten thousand years! It has already become extremely stable, and as long as you assimilate it, you will be able to create a Domain. Even if you aren't a true Realm Lord, your strength won't be too far off! "
Yang Xuan said. "Previously, your cultivation hadn't reached the pinnacle of the Rule realm, so it wasn't convenient for us to reveal it to you. Now, however, we can let you know."
Su Yin's body shuddered. "Back then, even the strongest Sword Saint was only a rank five Martial Saint. How … were you able to design all of this in advance?"
He found it hard to believe.
None of the thirty-six teachers were too powerful. The weakest of them was only at rank two, and the strongest was only at rank five. Even with such strength, they would not be able to stand against the current Xue Qianqiu. Yet, they were able to design a Domain Artifact ten thousand years ago … How did they manage to do it?
"Just because our cultivation is low doesn't mean that we are ignorant. After witnessing the rise of Martial Sages, Firmament, and the others, we still know about the laws and Domains Artifact. It's not a big deal to make preparations in advance!"
Yang Xuan chuckled. "Of course, our cultivation was too weak to stabilize the world, so we had to sacrifice more people. Otherwise, even if the Dry Origin World doesn't have any Immortal Energy, how could it not have a single True Immortal?"
Su Yin's eyes widened once more.
He had suspected this before.
Since the humans of the Dry Origin World were believers of the thirty-six Sacred Grounds back then, even if they had not reached the True Immortal realm, there should be quite a number of them who had reached the Quasi-Sage realm, right? As for Dao Integration Stage and Great Firmament Golden Immortals, there should be many of them …
There should be at least several hundred million of them. Yet, in just ten thousand years, all of them had perished. Not only that, there were very few Pseudo Immortals among their descendants … Something was clearly wrong!
One had to know that the tomb keeper of the True Immortal realm was able to seal him for ten thousand years. Wouldn't those Quasi-Sage experts be even more terrifying?
In the end … not a single one could be found.
He had been wondering if all of them had died in the battle with the Giant Demons, but in the end, the lack of Immortal Qi was only one of the reasons. More importantly, he needed their life force and strength to strengthen the realm and stabilize the Dry Origin Realm.
"It's not that we want them to do this, but they are willing to do this for the better development of the human race!"
Yang Xuan sighed. "They are heroes!"
"Yes!" Su Yin nodded.
Just like in his previous life, countless martyrs were willing to lay down their lives for the sake of their descendants.
No matter how good the future was, they wouldn't be able to enjoy it. In fact, they wouldn't even be able to see it. Even so, they didn't cower in the slightest, and they had no regrets … Could they be said to be stupid?
No, they had faith!
It wasn't just them. The 36 teachers were the same. For the goal in their hearts, for the sake of being able to resist the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, they didn't hesitate to give up their status as Saints and die …
It was because of their sacrifice and ten thousand years of hard work that he was able to rise to power.
Yang Xuan said, "Go. The center of the Dry Origin Realm is the forbidden land of the Immortal Subjugation Sect. Go and refine it as soon as possible!"
Without saying anything else, Su Yin tore through space and returned to the Dry Origin Realm in a few breaths' time.
Most of the cultivators in this realm had been relocated. The remaining cultivators didn't have high cultivation bases, and they lived ordinary lives.
After returning to the forbidden land, he spread his Divine Sense and quickly discovered that something was wrong.
He knew that the forbidden land could communicate with the alliance of the Nine States. Now, it seemed that it wasn't just a simple communication. It was more like nine giant skeletons that connected the Grand Qian Continent, Grand Origin Continent, Grand Xuan Continent, Grand Feng Continent, Grand Ping Continent, and other places perfectly, forming an inseparable whole.
The union of the Nine States was a world, a realm.
With a thought, Yang Xuan spread his power along the 'skeletons'.
The Dry Origin Realm had been nourished by the power of the 36 Ancient Sages for ten thousand years. The 36 Great Daos had already merged with the world. Su Yin's Divine Sense quickly spread out, and the Great Dao of the Human Emperor flowed like a river.
In less than an hour, it had perfectly merged with the entire world.
The Dry Origin Realm had been successfully refined!
"Return!"
Yang Xuan bellowed. The enormous world shuddered and flew into Yang Xuan's glabella like an artifact. It came to a stop and merged with his body.
He flicked his finger.
Whoosh!
The brilliant power of a realm spread out from his body and spread in all directions. Even the chaotic streams of space couldn't stop it in the slightest.
"Is this the strength of a Realm Lord?"
Su Yin's eyes glowed.
With the power of the Dry Origin Realm, he could already form his own domain into a realm.
"This isn't a breakthrough. It's just that you've gained the strength of a Realm Lord with the help of the Dry Origin Realm!"
Seeing through Yang Xuan's thoughts, Yang Xuan explained, "If you want to achieve a breakthrough, you'll have to perfectly merge the Great Daos you've comprehended with the Dry Origin Realm. You'll have to make it an inseparable part of the world and become the ruler of all power."
The Dry Origin Realm also had its own Great Daos. Even though it couldn't help one become a Saint or a Master of Laws, it was still quite powerful. In order to become a Realm Lord, one had to merge the laws they had comprehended into the Dry Origin Realm and become its skeleton!
For example, Su Yin's Great Daos of Time, Great Daos of Life and Death, Great Daos of Heaven Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Emperor were still separate from the Dry Origin Realm. Only by merging them together could he achieve a breakthrough.
Not only could he become a Realm Lord, but he could also reach the peak.
Su Yin smiled. "Since I've already refined this world, it shouldn't be difficult to merge them together …"
This world had already merged with the power of thirty-six Ancient Sages, which was equivalent to merging the Human Emperor's Great Daos with it. As long as he had enough time, he should be able to complete it within two hours.
As long as he succeeded in merging the laws, the Great Daos of Heaven Emperor and Great Daos of Earth Emperor would no longer be a problem.
In other words …
With the Dry Origin Realm as his foundation, his cultivation had made another breakthrough. There was no longer any shackles holding him back from becoming a Realm Lord.
"Let's head back!"
Su Yin took a look at the time and saw that it was getting closer and closer to the agreed time. Thus, he decided to head back to the Immortal Realm along the Path of Immortals. With a flick of his finger, he sealed off the path once more.
Since the Dry Origin Realm had already been refined, there was no point for the Path of Immortals to exist anymore.
Before Zhang Xuan could even enter the Human Emperor Sacred Ground, he suddenly felt the space before him shuddering. Two figures walked out from it.
A Martial Sacred and a Battle Sacred!
The latter had successfully persuaded Zhang Xuan to agree to the alliance. Furthermore, he could clearly sense Song Yu's power, which meant that he had brought her along with him.
"This change … this is simply too huge!"
The Martial Sacred was left speechless for a long time looking at the newly established Sacred Ground.
It had only been half a day since the ceremony, but its scale had already surpassed that of the Martial Sacred Mountain.
There were more than ten billion believers too.
How did he do it?
The Martial Sacred soon came to a realization. "He brought back the believers of thirty-six Ancient Sages!"
The Battle Sacred twisted his lips. "Their cultivation isn't too high. Even if they can generate faith, it shouldn't be too much!"
"It's true that a single person can't generate much faith, but it's still frightening when there are too many of them! Furthermore, with the nourishment of the Spiritual Energy of Immortals and the food provided by the Agriculture Sage, they are able to advance swiftly … "The Martial Sacred nodded.
The Battle Sacred was left speechless.
The difference in the power of faith was dependent on one's cultivation, but as long as there was enough faith, it could make up for the difference.
"Paying respects to the two Sages!"
Su Yin clasped his fist, paying no heed to their shock.
The two Sages glanced at the young man, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
It had only been an hour since they last met, but it seemed like the young man's strength had grown yet again!
They might not have been a match for him in the past, but at this very moment … he was no longer much weaker than them!
Could it be that he had already achieved a breakthrough to World Overlord?
The Martial Sacred shook his head. "That's not it. If he had achieved a breakthrough, he would have attracted the lightning tribulation. Since nothing has happened yet, it means that he hasn't achieved a breakthrough yet …"
The 8-dan World Overlord realm was similar to the Hall of Sages. Once a cultivator achieved a breakthrough to the 8-dan World Overlord realm, they would attract the lightning tribulation, and it would be impossible to conceal it. Given how calm the Celestial World was, it was clear that Zhang Xuan had not taken the 8-dan World Overlord realm yet.
The Battle Sacred's eyes gleamed as he made a grabbing motion toward the young man.
A massive battlefield materialized in the air.
Su Yin chuckled softly. The Battle Sacred's attack was immediately deflected.
"Does the Battle Sacred still wish to have a duel with me?"
"Humph!"
The Battle Sacred halted his attack and fell silent.
In this clash, she realized that the young man's strength had indeed grown once more!
Previously, his strength was around five Xue, but at this very moment, it had increased by three Xue, giving him the strength of eight Xue!
She had spent innumerable years of effort to attain her current strength, and yet, the young man had managed to raise his cultivation in just a short moment … Just the thought of it left her speechless.
"Let's go!"
Ignoring the guesses of the two Sages, Su Yin flicked his finger, and Lao Mian's blood flew into the air.
He executed a secret art to sense his soul, and it didn't take long for him to ascertain a location. "Let's go!"
In the next moment, he vanished from the spot.
The Battle Sacred and Martial Sacred quickly followed behind him.
The three of them were all World Overlords, and their speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they had traversed several million li and arrived at a location not too far away from the Ruoshui River.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Ancient Beast Hall should be hidden in one of the spatial nodes nearby …"
Su Yin looked ahead.
Back then, Xue Qianqiu and Saint Toad Laurel had been defeated here, and they had unintentionally entered the Ancient Beast Hall. Just this point alone was enough to confirm that the Ancient Beast Hall was hidden in the vicinity.
The Battle Sacred frowned. He extended his Spiritual Perception, and it swept through everything within a radius of several hundred thousand li.
From rocks to dust, he swept through everything, but … he didn't find anything.
"Are you sure that the Ancient Beast Hall is here?"
He turned around and asked.
"I'm not too sure, but we'll know once we give it a try!" Su Yin took out another drop of Lao Mian's blood and tapped it once more.
Hu!
The blood immediately burst into flames, forming a thin line that extended into the depths of the void. Following which, it disappeared into the distance.
"This is it!"
Su Yin's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand. His body immediately shrank into a non-existent dot, and he leaped into it.
Upon seeing him disappear, the Battle Sacred and Martial Sacred quickly followed.
In the next instant, the space trembled, and the three of them appeared in a vast expanse of void.
"This is the Void Gate? I see … "
The Battle Sacred widened his eyes in realization.
The Void Gate was similar to the Teleportation Gate. It could teleport one millions of li away in an instant. In other words, the treasure wasn't in the vicinity of the Ruoshui River.
It was no wonder why neither he nor Cang Qiong were able to find the aura of the Ancient Beast Hall.
Su Yin looked left and right. This place did not have any spatial turbulence, nor did it have any shining stars. There was only a shabby star that stood not too far away. It was not eye-catching at all.
The thin line formed by Lao Mian's blood had appeared on this star.
Su Yin flew over with a grim expression. A moment later, he arrived at the top of the star.
A palace appeared in his sight. It wasn't large, and it had been embedded in the ground for countless years. Half of it was covered in dust.
"This is the Ancient Beast Hall?"
This time, it was Su Yin's turn to be uncertain.
He had only heard of the number one God Artifact of the Ancient Era, but he had never seen it before.
"I've studied the history of the Ancient Beast Hall. There's no way I'm wrong!" The Battle Sacred nodded. Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do we enter?"
He wasn't the only one. The Martial Saint also looked over.
It was useless to find the Ancient Beast Hall. This artifact was sealed. If they couldn't find a way in, they would be attacked and the artifact inside would be destroyed.
"Let's just wait. Someone will open it for us …"
Su Yin chuckled.
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan's body flickered, and he vanished from the spot, hiding in a spatial node.
Seeing that, the Martial Saint also came to a realization and hid with the Battle Sacred as well.
Not long after he hid himself, there was a loud boom in the void, and four figures flew in front of him.
The Cang Qiong Saint, the Yellow Spring Saint, Meng Po, and Xue Qianqiu!
Just as he had guessed, no one could resist the temptation of the Ancient Beast Hall.
"Prince Xiao Shi, since you're here, why don't you come out? There's no need to hide!"
Standing in front of the palace, the Cangqiong Saint gently paced in a circle as he spoke.
"Heh! Cang Qiong Saint, you have good eyesight. You even noticed us hiding here! "
Boom!
The void was torn apart, and Prince Xiao Shi flew out.
The Dragon Emperor and twenty elders of the Dragon Tribe followed behind him with grim looks on their faces.
"The Ancient Beast Hall is an artifact forged by my father. I'll have to ask you all to return. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty!"
The Coiling Dragon Pillar floated into the air as Prince Xiao Shi spoke coldly.
"Prince Xiao Shi, do you wish to have a duel with me? Since that's the case, I'll play along with you!"
Knowing that the other party wouldn't back down if he didn't use his cultivation, the Cang Qiong Saint didn't waste his breath. He grabbed at the air, and a powerful energy gushed down from above, forming a total of thirty-three layers.
Thirty-three Layers!
Knowing that it was highly likely that he would meet the Dragon Emperor, he didn't hold back at all. He brought his strongest artifact with him.
The Thirty-three Layers represented the spatial structure of thirty-three different powers. Even before they landed, the planet beneath was already trembling violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Coiling Dragon Rising Sky!"
With a low bellow, Prince Xiao Shi tossed the Coiling Dragon Pillar in his hand forward. The pillar swiftly grew in size, and in just a few breaths, its diameter had already exceeded several hundred li. Even though the Thirty-three Layers had landed on top of it, it would still be difficult for it to descend in a short period of time.
This pillar was forged to support the heavens, and it could be considered as the bane of Cang Qiong's existence.
Hu!
After blocking Cang Qiong Saint, Prince Xiao Shi retreated several hundred li before shouting loudly, "Su Yin, Martial Sage, Battle Sage, aren't you going to make a move yet? I saw where you were hiding earlier, so there's no need for me to make a move. Just drag you out! "
His voice was so loud that not only did it resound throughout the entire planet, it even caused the surrounding space to tremble.
"Hahaha, there's no need to stand on ceremony, Your Highness. We'll just take the initiative to come out …"
With an awkward smile, Su Yin flew out from the void. At the same time, Martial Sage, Battle Sage, and the others also appeared from the side.
They had thought that they would be able to sneak into the Ancient Beast Hall as soon as they arrived, just like how they had faced the Dragon Emperor. However, it seemed like they had underestimated the Prince Xiao Shi.
The Prince Xiao Shi should have been able to enter the Ancient Beast Hall as well, but he chose not to do so. Clearly, he was waiting for them.
"He knows that we are all eyeing the Beast Hall. Rather than playing a hidden chess piece, he might as well play his cards out in the open!" Martial Sage sent a telepathic message over.
Su Yin shook his head. "It's not that simple. From the looks of it, his side is the weakest. He must have his own motives for doing so …"
Currently, there were three powers on the battlefield — Cang Qiong, Yellow Springs, Prince Xiao Shi, and Zhang Xuan.
Prince Xiao Shi was at eighth rank pinnacle and had the Coiling Dragon Pillar as his backing. Furthermore, the Beast Hall was his home ground, so there were bound to be many traps and secret passageways. However, even if he were to use his full strength, he wouldn't be a match for Cang Qiong, let alone the Yellow Springs Sage.
As for Zhang Xuan's side, even though they were on the same side as the Martial Sage and Battle Sage, at the very least, the other party would treat them as a whole. With two eighth rank pinnacle cultivators and a cultivator comparable to an eighth rank cultivator like him, they wouldn't be too weak either!
In other words, even with the Dragon Emperor and the other elders of the Dragon Tribe, Prince Xiao Shi's side was still the weakest.
Under such circumstances, instead of finding a way to enter the Beast Hall as soon as possible, Prince Xiao Shi was waiting for them here.
"Are the Martial Sage and Battle Sage working together with Su Yin? Have you forgotten that he killed the Fist Sage, Thief Sage, Dream Sage, and the others? "
Cang Qiong looked at Zhang Xuan calmly.
"There's no need to sow discord between us. Since we're working together, there's bound to be sufficient benefits for us. It's impossible for us to fall apart just because of a few words!"
With a smile, Su Yin ignored Cang Qiong. Instead, he turned to Prince Xiao Shi and said, "Prince Xiao Shi, it seems like you've already guessed that we would be here, so you've been waiting here all this while. What do you intend to do?"
"I don't intend to do anything. I just want to tell you that the Beast Hall is the greatest treasure of our tribe. If you dare to mess with it, you'll have to bear the consequences …"
With a sneer, Prince Xiao Shi suddenly grabbed the Dragon Emperor and the elders of the Dragon Tribe and pulled them into the Coiling Dragon Pillar. "I won't wait for you. I'll be going in first!"
After saying those words, he drew a line in the air, and a droplet of blood essence fell above the Beast Hall.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a massive door appeared. Prince Xiao Shi flew in first and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Prince Xiao Shi had entered the Beast Hall, the Firmament Sage frowned.
"This …" Su Yin was perplexed, but in the end, he still nodded his head and followed the Firmament Sage.
