Eternal Sun

Chapter 1440 Epoch Change! New Gods Create the World 2 (Page 12)

Three chapters in one!

If even high-level cultivators cannot break through the pillar of light, it means that the pillar of light likely represents an extraordinary opportunity at the level of a great cultivator.

This is astonishing, and it might even tempt some less wealthy cultivators to come here and compete with them.

But the top-level cultivators don't lack this kind of thing; what the pillar of light represents might not necessarily tempt them.

However, the situation is quite different now.

The first great cultivator to arrive at Wansui Mountain, though merely an ordinary being in every aspect, ultimately symbolized the pinnacle of this world.

The fact that even he couldn't forcibly break the pillar of light speaks volumes, so there's no need to elaborate on what that means.

The news spread rapidly, and even those top cultivators who were not originally interested in the pillar of light became interested and rushed towards Wansui Mountain.

In an instant, a storm was brewing around Huangye City.

……

The first year of the 5th era of the divine calendar.

In just a few decades, the number of powerful cultivators gathered around Wansui Mountain has reached several times the size of two fingers, while ordinary people in the vicinity have long since fled to more distant places.

If they don't leave now, when these great cultivators clash, they, as mortals, will become innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire and won't even know how they died.

Neither the great cultivators nor the other cultivators who had gathered paid any attention to this; their focus was entirely on the pillar of light.

Over the decades, among the great cultivators who arrived one after another, there were others who tried to attack the pillar of light again, but the final result was exactly the same as that of the first great cultivator.

This made all the great cultivators increasingly believe that the help they received might represent an opportunity that would allow them to transcend their current level.

As more and more great cultivators from the orthodox cultivation system gathered here, the newly emerging great cultivators from the "Dynamic and Static Dao Lineage" also arrived.

Their arrival directly disrupted the delicate balance maintained by the orthodox high-level cultivators around Wansui Mountain.

Not long ago, orthodox cultivators, through various measurement methods, roughly concluded that the pillar of light likely existed for a very long time and must be some kind of opportunity left over from their orthodox cultivation system.

This news also spread widely.

They thought that once the news spread, the great cultivators of the emerging sects would not be interested in it, but the opposite turned out to be true.

In fact, those orthodox great cultivators didn't consider that if the pillar of light truly represented an opportunity for further advancement, even if the emerging faction wasn't interested in the orthodox faction, it was impossible for these orthodox great cultivators to obtain such an opportunity.

Once a true orthodox Grand Master breaks through and becomes an existence above Grand Master, these Grand Masters of emerging schools will inevitably become targets of suppression.

Therefore, regardless of the specific circumstances, they cannot possibly allow the other party to gain an opportunity.

……

The first year of the 5th era of the divine calendar.

For hundreds of years, both sides have maintained a certain degree of restraint, and the occasional conflicts have never reached the highest level.

In this highly charged atmosphere, more than half of the great cultivators in the entire Xuanzhen Realm gathered here, making this undoubtedly the most glorious moment for Huangye City.

Even if the entire city is wiped out in the battle of the great cultivators in the future, history will remember this city that once witnessed great events.

At the very least, when someone mentions it, they will mention the city that sparked all of this.

Over the course of several hundred years, all the great cultivators have naturally figured out that, in addition to the giant pillar of light, there is another smaller pillar of light in Huangye City that echoes it.

However, no one took the lead in trying to seize it. The powerful cultivators on the same side were all wary of each other regarding the treasure that could project small beams of light.

This allowed another small cultivation family, which was fortunate enough to obtain the treasure after the destruction of that small cultivation family, to continue to exist in this delicate balance.

But this tense atmosphere has driven everyone in the family to the brink of madness.

Today, they want to hand over the treasure and use it to escape Huangye City, but they can't.

No matter who they wanted to give the treasure to, another great cultivator would stop them, with the high-sounding reason that they should not take what others loved.

This was something the cultivators of that family didn't know in secret. They cursed those great cultivators countless times, but they only dared to curse them silently in their hearts.

……

The first year of the 5th era of the divine calendar.

Some more time passed.

On this day, the large pillar of light, which had been stable for hundreds of years, suddenly began to dim, and the small pillar of light that had always existed also began to fluctuate.

In this situation, all the high monks considered two possibilities.

The first possibility is that no one has used the treasure that triggers the small pillar of light to open up a new opportunity for a long time, which has triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism of the large pillar of light.

The various phenomena observed by the two beams of light likely indicate that the opportunity is about to vanish completely right before their eyes.

The second possibility is that, even if no one obtains the treasure, it still cancels the beam of light at a specific frequency or time point, allowing the possible opportunity within the beam to emerge.

Either way, it means that the waiting high-ranking monks cannot continue their standoff.

A result must be reached before the pillar of light collapses or is actively canceled, otherwise everyone present may end up with nothing.

In this situation, the newly emerging sects of great cultivators, who were already more active, couldn't hold back any longer and started to provoke the orthodox great cultivators under any pretext.

"Hahaha, old dog Jieyuan, last time you tried to teach me a lesson by relying on your seniority, but you ended up being taught a lesson by me instead."

"What? Don't you want to save face?"

"I'll give you a chance. You can pick a few more old dogs to come at me at once, and I'll take them all!"

The arrogant provocation resounded through the sky, causing the other cultivators who remained nearby to widen their eyes in astonishment.

The fact that someone could use such an arrogant tone to wantonly insult a great cultivator speaks volumes about the identity of the person who spoke.

Most importantly, such a ruthless approach, leaving the person utterly humiliated, has completely offended that great cultivator named Jieyuan.

……

Sure enough, before the owner of the voice could finish his cursing, a figure soared into the sky and launched an attack on the owner of the voice without even looking.

The attacker was none other than the great cultivator Jie Yuan.

Faint ripples of space kept spreading, forming a virtual yet real "world," which is the origin of the title "World Element."

"You rude brat! Go to hell!"

The once dignified and otherworldly cultivator now looked like a furious old man, which showed just how angry he was.

Upon seeing the approaching elemental energy, the great cultivator who had been cursing immediately revealed an excited smile.

"Hahaha, old dog, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"This time, I will beat you into a dead dog!"

Jin Xue still didn't hold back his words.

As a cultivator specializing in physical training, Jin Xue is undoubtedly the most combative among the emerging schools of martial arts.

His physique had reached an extremely powerful level through frenzied cultivation, and the blood in his body had even been further refined into gold.

This is one of his defining characteristics, and the origin of his name, "Golden Blood."

boom!

Jin Xue's body streaked across the sky like a meteorite, crashing headlong into the "world" formed by the condensation of boundary elements.

Under Jie Yuan's grim expression, his "world" failed to stop Jin Xue's advance at all, and the entire "world" was smashed through by his brute force.

Fortunately, having learned from his previous experience of being brutally beaten, Jieyuan was not unprepared this time.

He raised his hand and summoned a treasure shaped like a pagoda. Under his control, the pagoda transformed into the size of a planet and suppressed the golden blood that was still charging forward.

"Ha... all show and no substance!"

"Watch how I smash your treasures!"

Jin Xue's figure did not pause at all, and continued to crash into the pagoda at an incredible speed.

……

Boom!

A dull thud resounded, and the pagoda, which had been falling continuously, suddenly stopped. The golden blood that collided with the pagoda naturally could not continue its advance.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate in the sky.

At that moment, something even more unpleasant happened to Jie Yuan.

He discovered that, with his power, the pagoda, which was extremely heavy and sturdy, began to show signs of rising.

what does this mean?

This means that even with the pagoda's support, Jin Xue is still stronger than him in this brute force confrontation, and can even push the pagoda back.

"This is impossible! How can the brute force of a mere physical body possibly withstand my pagoda!"

Jie Yuan's expression broke down again, clearly unable to accept the situation before him.

As a cultivator of the orthodox system, before the emergence of new schools of thought, cultivators throughout the Xuanzhen Realm did not place much importance on physical cultivation.

They spend most of their time comprehending the universe, sometimes going into seclusion for thousands of years. Moreover, most of their methods of fighting enemies require the aid of external objects, and their own combat experience is very weak.

This situation became a weakness for orthodox cultivators after the rise of new schools of thought.

Although the power of external objects is great, they ultimately depend on their controllers to unleash their full potential.

Some external objects with powerful killing abilities can indeed deter emerging schools from making casual contact with them, but they can directly deal with cultivators who possess these treasures.

In other words, if they are prepared, practitioners of orthodox schools are indeed not easy to deal with, but what if they are not given time to react or prepare in advance?

That's the current situation.

Provoked by Jin Xue, Jie Yuan was unable to prepare any corresponding measures in advance and hastily led the pagoda into Jin Xue's trap.

If Jin Xue hadn't directly confronted the pagoda, but instead bypassed it to attack Jie Yuan's true form, his fate would certainly not be so pleasant.

Unfortunately, Jie Yuan, who was already somewhat overwhelmed by anger, did not realize this problem, nor did the great cultivators who were on his side remind him.

For those old guys who have lived for countless years, everyone present is a potential rival, and they have no obligation to warn their rivals.

……

Fortunately, Jie Yuan has lived for so many years and is not a loser who has not made any friends.

Seeing that the pagoda was about to collapse and that Jin Xue could bypass it and launch an attack at any moment, Jie Yuan's two friends finally chose to lend a helping hand.

"Brother Jieyuan, I'm here to help you!"

"I'm coming too!"

Two powerful cultivators, who also appeared to be quite old and exuded an air of otherworldly grace, flew out and launched an attack on the golden blood beneath the pagoda, each wielding their own treasures.

"Heh, three against one, what do I have to fear?!"

Jin Xue's voice was as arrogant as ever.

boom! ! !

The power of the shattered star erupted, directly blasting the pagoda above them back a considerable distance, allowing Jin Xue to break free from his confrontation with the pagoda.
