He smiled and said:

"Consider this item as my entry gift to you, my junior. With your strength, going to the battlefield won’t change the outcome. Observing the battle over there, with the Four Symbols Sky Guard Array protecting the Human Clan, they can hold on for three to five years without a problem. You might as well stay here and cultivate for a while, at least until you reach the Fifth Realm. Of course, if you wish to leave, you can do so at any time."

Lu Chenzhou took the Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass, merely sniffed it, and felt his acupoints subtly become active. This is currently the highest-level treasure known to humans that aids in Opening the Acupoint, invaluable in worth.

Lu Chenzhou was in high spirits. This campaign against the Ape King, by a twist of fate, made him a direct disciple of a Great Power, bringing him the Opening Treasure he had longed for ahead of time.

"Thank you, Senior. I will cultivate here for some time. Please keep an eye on the battlefield for me, and inform me if the situation becomes critical."

Lu Chenzhou knew that if Mr. Turtle were willing to take action, this so-called demon ghost trial would not be much of a problem.

However, this would go against the original intention of the war group trial, and Mr. Turtle, being in this small realm, would likely find it difficult to intervene as well.

Mr. Turtle said, "It’s a minor issue. Let’s go; I’ll take you to find a place for secluded cultivation. As a direct disciple of the ancestor, at the Four Realms cultivation level, it’s really not impressive. Keep it up, strive to reach the Heavenly Realm within three hundred years."

Lu Chenzhou: "..." It seems Mr. Turtle still doesn’t quite understand Da Xia’s martial arts. If he knew the Cangtian Dragon King reached the Heavenly Realm in a century, how would he react?

Passing through Cloud Mountain, along the way, everywhere one could see apes comparable to Great Demons, the weakest also exuded the aura of a Martial Artist. Even newborn apes had the strength comparable to Hua Realm experts. Seeing this, Lu Chenzhou couldn’t help but ask, "Sir, what is the relationship between these apes and the ancestor?"

"These are the descendants of the Ape Clan, which the ancestor took in years ago. There are Lion Apes, White Apes, Drunken Apes, Water Apes... In short, all types of Great Wilderness Spirit Apes can be found here. The ancestor, being a Spiritual Ape who attained Dao, naturally had a fondness for these apes. Therefore, as a direct disciple of the ancestor, should you encounter Spiritual Apes outside in the future, if they do not threaten your life, there is no need to kill them. Instead, subdue them and send them into this Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven, where someone will educate them."

"I see, Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven."

"I recall that before I went to sleep, there were several Heavenly Realm ape ancestors within the cave. It’s only a pity that although the ape clan has a long lifespan, they have also disappeared into the river of history. Now, within the cave, only a few Sea Realm ones remain, they should be their descendants... Alas, looking at this world, only I remain."

Mr. Turtle sighed.

A thousand-year turtle, a ten-thousand-year tortoise.

Awakening to find everything has changed.

Who can understand this feeling?

Lu Chenzhou curiously asked:

"Sir, how big is this Grotto Heaven?"

Mr. Turtle said, "Not very big, thirty miles in height, a thousand miles deep, three thousand miles from north to south, four thousand miles from east to west... The ancestor always humbly said during his lifetime that he was dull in aptitude, not as good as humans. Alas, compared to the ancestor, I’m the foolish one. Excluding the long lifespan I froze during my hibernation, I have been on the Dao path and cultivating for nine thousand years now, barely reaching the Eight Realms. Among the Primordial Mountain Seven Saints, old turtle my talent was the worst, though I’m the oldest, my cultivation is the lowest, it’s really embarrassing... If I could set foot in the Nine Realms, the vastness of this Grotto Heaven would be sufficient to evolve into a true world, hanging high among the stars and the void."

"How many years?"

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes showed shock.

"Nine thousand years."

"The history of humans in this realm is barely ten thousand years."

"Actually, the history of humans in this realm is longer than you think. To be precise, the recorded history of your current era is ten thousand years... But long ago, there were other human civilizations, which failed to escape the cosmic cycle and fell under the catastrophe of the era. The civilizational traces were also wiped, this is the Civilizational Reincarnation.

It is not just your world, other human clans in the Three Thousand Pu Suo Worlds are the same. If they can’t escape the cosmic cycle, they will eventually face the end law catastrophe, leading to a civilizational reshuffle, and history appearing with a major discontinuity... Well, it’s better not to mention these, suffice to say that with the collapse of the Divine Court, the old order has passed, the universe will nurture new vitality and order amid great destruction, what the future millennium or ten thousand years will be like? No one knows. I only know that if the revival of the Stars Gods cannot be curbed, what awaits us is the strange and terrifying Era of the Stars."

Lu Chenzhou understood that what Mr. Turtle said was some ancient secrets, many Sword Spirits didn’t even know.

After all, a Sword Spirit is just a sword...

When he steps into the Heavenly Realm, and stands shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon King, he can explore the ancient history buried in dust, perhaps finding opportunities for Breakthrough Eighth, Breakthrough Nine among the ruins.

Ultimately... becoming a God!

"By the way, let me tell you about the story of our Primordial Mountain Seven Saints..." Mr. Turtle seemed to have opened a chatterbox, his eyes distant, recalling the past. "The ancestor became a Great Power, teaching without discrimination, having once accepted seven cultivators with decent talent, mutant beasts that attained Dao. I was the first, originating from the Ba Water River in the western part of the Great Wilderness, the ancestor gave me the name ’Ba Xi Marquis’. I have six junior brothers, all of whom are also anomalies, but their talents far surpass mine..."

After listening, Lu Chenzhou suddenly remembered the legend of the "Shushan Seven Saints" circulating in the Shushan region, as the name of the Primordial Mountain Seven Saints was quite similar to the Seven Saints.

"Senior, have you been to the Xia Realm before?"

"I don’t remember, the Xia Realm is just your own designation. Before the Divine War, we seven brothers followed our ancestor, roamed the Three Thousand Worlds, acted chivalrously, traveled the Human World, and left a good name in many places. The ancestor said, there is nothing eternal and indestructible in this world; the seas can dry up, stones can decay, even innate deities have times when the oil runs dry and the lamp goes out. But life and civilization can find their own way in countless calamities, better to leave some legends in the Human World. If there are still people who remember after millions of years, it can also be considered a kind of alternative immortality..."

"The ancestor is open-minded... In the world of us juniors, there are also legendary deeds left by seniors, which are imitated and inherited by us Martial Artists as titles. But in the Xia Realm, Ba Xi Hou is not a senior, but a White Ape."

Lu Chenzhou then recounted the story of the Shushan Seven Saints.

"Hahaha, in the Great Wilderness era, the Three Thousand Worlds were not isolated islands. There were often powerful beings who shattered the void and came and went as guests, legends intertwined, passed on by word of mouth, there would always be deviations. Compared to my lively and combative junior brothers, I indeed did not have much fame in ancient times."

As they chatted, the two arrived at an island suspended in the void, where rare birds and mutant beasts dwelled, considered a dream mount by many Martial Artists in the outside world.

"This used to be the dojo of the Mountain Lord, one of the top three in strength among the Seven Saints, and had already gone far in the Eight Realms, but ultimately died in the Divine War.

The Tiger Form Fist you practice does indeed have a bit of the Mountain Lord’s charm. This will be your closed training place in the future.

There is a hundred-acre medicinal field in the dojo, but due to lack of management, it has become desolate, there are probably some treasure medicines left, you can use them as you see fit. Underground in the dojo, there is also a mini high-grade primordial ore vein that gathers the pure power of Heaven and Earth, making it more suitable for our Qi Collection cultivation, and it should also have some effect on you, do not destroy it."

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes widened in surprise.

"High-grade primordial ore?"

This is a Heaven and Earth Treasure level item.

The value of a high-grade ore vein, even if it is mini, exceeds the combined total of those middle and low-grade veins in the Small Realm.

Mr. Turtle proudly said:

"High-grade ore veins are not many in the Great Wilderness, most are controlled by the Divine Court. The remaining part is occupied by the Four Heavenly Sects and the great powers of the Sea and Mountain Oath. The ancestor dispersed his own ore vein into different mini ore veins using the ’Nine Dukes Move Mountains’ method, hiding them in this Small Realm, for use by the Seven Saints and creatures within the Grotto Heaven during Breakthrough Realm.

As long as the high-grade ore vein is not destroyed, it can form a balance, sufficient for a certain number of cultivators to continuously use. Naturally, with your Sea Realm cultivation, you can’t directly absorb high-grade Creation Primordial Qi, that would lead to your body exploding. I’ve already sealed the ore vein with an array, the Creation Primordial Qi that escapes and is diluted countless times is sufficient for your cultivation. With this Primordial Qi, there’s no need to take regular cultivation Great Medicine, as medicine is three parts poison, excessive accumulation will also become an obstacle to breakthrough in the future."

When Lu Chenzhou landed on the island, he felt all his pores open up, naturally absorbing the Creation Primordial Qi that floated around, causing his Qi-Blood to surge, and he couldn’t help but moan comfortably, the effect was immediate.

"In this place for closed-door training, it won’t even take a year for my Qi-Blood to reach its limit, and this high-grade Primordial Qi also has a certain boosting effect on Opening the Acupoint. With the Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass, it will take at most a year and a half to Breakthrough Five Shackles... The War Group has an array to support it, I indeed have no need to rush. I’ll Breakthrough Five first here. Besides, this is just a trial, the Wanbang Council must be observing secretly, they won’t let the War Group suffer heavy losses."

Thinking about it, Lu Chenzhou asked, "Sir, can only direct disciples live in this place of the dojo?"

With just him using it, it seemed a bit wasteful, if his master and others could come too, and bring his parents in, to receive the spiritual energy nourishment, they could also extend their lifespans.

Though they hadn’t been in contact long, Mr. Turtle could already see through Lu Chenzhou’s character from his words and actions, knowing what he wanted to do.

"Direct disciples can bring some family members to live in, but if their cultivation is too high, it’s best not to exceed three people, to avoid dividing your Primordial Qi, affecting cultivation. If their cultivation is low, it’s fine. But not too many, as it would disrupt the tranquility of this Grotto Heaven and get too entangled in causality."

"Senior, what is considered too high cultivation?"

"Heavenly Realm."

Lu Chenzhou was overjoyed.

"I understand, Senior."

Among his friends and family, the one with the highest cultivation is Principal Wang, and the others, at most a Grandmaster like Master Ji, who only has Breakthrough Second cultivation, even if a hundred of them came, they couldn’t absorb much Primordial Qi. Thus, though Wang Xian is just an Outer Disciple, he can still cultivate in this top-level dojo.

Of course, other benefits would still be at the Outer Disciple Level.

And so, Lu Chenzhou became the eighteenth direct disciple of the owner of the Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven.
