Chapter 317: 177, 178. Guarding the Stump Waiting for Peaches, the Perfect ’Person’ Produced by Extreme Joy World (Please Subscribe)

As it turned out, when a piece of news flew everywhere, it became extremely difficult for people to discern its truthfulness, and even harder to judge whether they were qualified to reap the benefits...

When the rumor spread that "There is an ancient peach tree on Accumulating Thunder Mountain that flowers and fruits once every thousand years, eating one peach grants immortality," many in the world grew restless.

Noble families and clever individuals would seize the opportunity, but seeing that the newly established White Tiger Guards from Imperial City had mobilized, and that Liuyi True Man (originally behind the Six Towns - Elder Ancestor Yan, Yan Muyi) had also led his disciples into action, the noble families could not sit idly. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Who wouldn’t desire immortality?

Even though they knew "eating a peach would definitely not grant eternal life," they still harbored the thought "at the very least, it could extend life by hundreds or possibly a thousand years."

And that... was already enough.

...

...

As the world seethed with activity, atop a peak on Accumulating Thunder Mountain, Ting was leaning against an ancient tree painting clouds.

The tide of clouds rose and fell, now whitening the entire sky, now revealing landscapes.

These landscapes were mostly covered with a violet light—it was a kind of strange dandelion-like velvet grass flying everywhere. If it touched trees, it would cling to them.

Various demon beasts roamed the mountains, yet they never left Accumulating Thunder Mountain, only wandering within the mountain. No one knew the reason.

Miss An was sitting on an old, dilapidated stone chair which had seen many years, the origin of which was unknown, with fine straight lines faintly visible in its cracks.

Those lines felt cold to the touch and somewhat prickly.

Miss An and Song Cheng casually began talking, discussing topics like "Could this be a chessboard? Maybe someone used to play chess here in the past..."

The history of Dashang had been thoroughly studied by them both.

Before the establishment of Dashang, there was no dynasty, only Martial Arts World factions.

Later, Emperor Ji married the daughter of Divine Arms Hall Hall Master, Wu Xilu, and in alliance with the Yan Family of Star-Viewing Tower, he campaigned north and south uniting the world... As for his purpose, it was to stabilize the situation, await the Ghost Tide, and then secretly manipulate behind the scenes to move Yin and Yang, thus merging all streams into the sea, discharging the Ghost Tide and Yin Qi into it.

However, the history of Dashang only spans approximately twelve hundred years.

The earlier Martial Arts World faction records only go back three hundred years.

During these three hundred years, the status of the Divine Arms Hall fluctuated, only rising to prominence in later stages with "a divine weapon forged from a meteor from beyond the skies."

As for what that "star meteor" was, although the records don’t mention it, Yan Muyi knew it very clearly.

It was the "Gold Crystal" within the "Five Elements Crystal."

The terror of the "Gold Crystal" lay in its ability to forge high-tier weapons that could still be wielded by mortals...

But being extremely rigid, "Gold Crystal weapons" did not last long. After use, they quickly "degraded," becoming weaker and weaker.

The "Fine Blade used as a bolt for a Huntian Poqi Crossbow" that Song Cheng had obtained in his early years had itself been "degraded."

Latterly, the so-called divine weapons of the Divine Arms Hall were merely for show.

Thus, when attempting to break the Six Towns, even though they offered the choice of "selecting a divine weapon," not a single Noble Family Child was persuaded.

Of course, no one knew where this "Meteor Gold Crystal" originally came from.

Yan Muyi and Demon Subduing True Man’s guess was "from some long-destroyed continent that had flown over."

As for how it flew that far... that too remains unknown.

Because the passages connecting continents are a mystery. They resemble an incredibly chaotic torn cloth, an information even beings who had experienced continent destruction and reached the "Xuan-level B" couldn’t qualify to understand...

Frankly, Divine Arms Hall was just a force that rose by accident in history, and its so-called "Wu River God Belief" was merely a continuation of those old Martial Arts World traditions.

The waters of Dashang run that deep, as superficial as the shallowest layer on the surface of an abyssal ocean.

Now, this "tiny secret," for Song Cheng, was also fully unraveled.

As for history dating back to fifteen hundred years ago, that too was lost, not to mention even earlier times.

In his time, that Emperor Ji was indeed a prominent figure, nearly dominating an era, but now... he had become Ting’s rabbit.

Song Cheng felt emotional about this and took it as a warning: If he did not want to end up as someone else’s rabbit in the future, he had to prepare for danger in times of safety.

Over these years, he had coordinated Cultivation Techniques across the world and secretly gathered various family techniques, precisely because the "Xuan-level B" was difficult to break through.

The formation of the Four Evil lands was slow but perilous.

Yet, in other already destroyed continents, the Four Evil lands had long since been formed.

So, had anyone seized that opportunity to break through?

And where were those who had broken through after that?

Song Cheng squinted at the clouds above.

Ting was gazing at the clouds in the mountains.

He was looking at the sky.

Miss An, meanwhile, was caressing the stone stool under her buttocks.

The rare outing had indeed relaxed her greatly.

At noon, Song Cheng did not venture deep into the heart of Accumulating Thunder Mountain, but merely hunted a few wild game animals nearby and found a stream among the mountains, where the family enjoyed a roasted meal...

Miss An said, "It tasted good just then, but eating it every day would make you sick of it."

She meant that she wanted to return.

Ting, however, ate joyfully, and after finishing, even found a comfortable hillside to lie down on, while the rabbits beside her started grazing.

Miss An, seeing her daughter’s lazy appearance, trembled with irritation.

She could handle outsiders with ease, but found her daughter much harder to manage.

Song Cheng laughed and said, "Ting surely doesn’t want to go back for matchmaking; that’s why she’s upsetting you here."

Miss An angrily said, "I am not forcing her to marry right away, just to start looking... She’s already sixteen, how often does she meet men in a year?"
