Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 408: Conversation of Xia and Liu (2)

Chapter 408: Conversation of Xia and Liu (2)

“Great Zhou King…” Liu Wenyan smiled and said, “…isn’t totally wrong. It might not be a good thing if our investigation results in chaos in the Human Realm. If he really manages to activate the suppressive force, I would even clap for him. But…I also can’t forget about everything that has happened to my teacher and my family.”

“If…one day I find out that he is the culprit, I won’t let it slide.”

Xia Longwu smiled. “The premise for that is your advancement into the Invincible Realm. Otherwise, you won’t be able to do anything apart from talk. Also, about my teacher…I suspect…”

“Go on.”

“I suspect that he has discovered something. Or maybe he has reached Invincible Realm. He was the culprit who had caused this entire battle to happen. I noticed what he did.”

Xia Longwu, whom the world knew as a brainless barbarian, was displaying an incredibly sharp mind.

“Invincible?” Liu Wenyan exclaimed in astonishment, “Impossible. He also walks the path of multiple characters. He won’t be able to advance successfully as well.”

“Perhaps its a physical advancement.” Xia Longwu sounded unsure. “I don’t know the truth either. My teacher has this habit of keeping his thoughts to himself. In any case, I am sure that he is no weaker than a peak Sunmoon.”

“He’s…trying to find that person as well?”

“I don’t know.” Xia Longwu paused to think before saying, “I suspect that my teacher has his own plan as well. He is an advocate for building a good relationship with the myriad races. For a period of time, I even suspected that he was the sect master of the First Divine Sect.”

“Hmm?” Liu Wenyan’s face changed. “Are you sure?”

“No. I only suspected him.” Xia Longwu said, “But right now, I am worried about something else. In truth, my teacher is an extreme person. He looks calm, but rules are very important to him. He will be very nice, as long as you follow the rules. The moment you break the rules, he will no longer be a nice person. The assassination of the fifth principal and the fall of the multiple character faction have both broken some rules. And he absolutely hates it when rules are broken. I’m afraid that he will do something crazy…and going as far as to provoke an attack on humanity by the myriad races.”

“This…”

Liu Wenyan was shocked. “He…has he gone mad? Even if he is already an Invincible, those people will never spare him for doing something like this.”

Xia Longwu sighed, “Exactly. That’s why I have suppressed his demands for many years. But I’m afraid I can no longer keep suppressing him. Let me put it this way. I suspect that even the attack of the Divine Skywing Sect and the divine skywing race on Great Xia City and Nanyuan was part of his plan. He was intentionally putting pressure on me to advance while also forcing you to come out of hiding. All this might be part of his plan.”

Liu Wenyan frowned. “He has gone mad.”

“No, he hasn’t. He knows perfectly what he’s doing. His sole goal is to force that person to appear. If he can’t do that, he will bring calamity upon the human race, forcing humanity to unite.”

Liu Wenyan frowned. “Is the situation really so bad?”

Xia Longwu thought about it before nodding, “Yes. The divines, devils, and the other races have been silent. I heard that they are all waiting for that fellow from the first divine race to break through. Some also said that they are waiting for that person from the primeval devil race to break through.”

“Breakthrough?” Liu Wenyan asked in astonishment, “Is there really a realm above the Invincible Realm?”

“I don’t know. I’m not an Invincible. Not even my grandpa can see the path forward, but he is certain that such a path exists.” Xia Longwu sighed, “The current peace is merely the calm before the storm.”

“Is the Human Realm even worth that much effort from them?”

“Yes.” Xia Longwu nodded, “At the very least, they believe that it is worth it. Prior to the cataclysm, the Human Realm had enjoyed a glorious era. This theory has been proven by the ruins we have discovered in the Human Realm. Back then, the Human Realm was definitely the holy land of the Myriad Realms. That was an incomparably glorious era.”

“Thus, a great secret is hidden in the Human Realm.” Xia Longwu said, “My grandpa once said that the Human Realm is definitely hiding a secret. This secret might be something big enough to affect the myriad races. It might even be something related to their survival. That is why they will never give up on invading the Human Realm.”

“Their survival?” Liu Wenyan frowned, “What manner of a secret is this? It can even affect the survival of the myriad races?”

“I don’t know.” Xia Longwu smiled, “If I have the answer to that, I would have eliminated the myriad races and unified the Myriad Realms instead. But there is one thing I’m sure about. The Human Realm had once experienced a golden era. People like my grandpa and the other old fossils had merely benefited from what our predecessors left behind. Those ruins were why they had been able to rapidly grow during the crisis. That was how the human race had been able to avoid extinction during that time.”

About 300 years ago, before the start of the Anping Calender, a connection between the Human Realm and the Allheaven Battlefield had suddenly formed. That was also a period of time where one human Invincible after another rose to power, founding the various human prefectures that exist today.

That batch of people had grown at an incredible speed. Invincibles were basically appearing one after another.

All those experts had not emerged from thin air.

During that time, the experts of the myriad races had already entered the Human Realm. While warring against the humans, they were also warring against each other for the ancient ruins in the Human Realm. It was also during that time that one human expert after another appeared. Ultimately, the enemies were either killed or chased out of the Human Realm, shifting the battlefield outside the Human Realm.

Liu Wenyan nodded, “True. Those ruins are proof of the past glory of the human race. The multiple character faction’s character techniques came from one of these ruins as well. But what a pity that the ruin from back then did not contain the path to the Invincible Realm. Are new ruins still being discovered in the Human Realm?”

“Yes, but these newly found ruins are nothing special. Most of them are only beneficial for physical cultivation. We haven’t been able to find any inheritances related to willpower cultivation. Of course, we have still discovered something…”

Xia Longwu’s face turned solemn as he said, “From a few ruins, we found that prior to the cataclysm, the human race focused mainly on the cultivation of human characters.”

Liu Wenyan nodded, “Bai Feng has discovered the same thing.”

“The Knowledge Seeking Realm has probably discovered this as well.” Xia Longwu sighed, “That put them in a difficult position. It is impossible for them to make everyone crush their own characters. Also, there is no denying that human characters are weaker. The main issue is the lack of a clear cultivation path. The character technique of the multiple character faction could potentially solve this issue, but not everyone has the talent to form a character technique…”

If both Su Yu and Bai Feng were present, they would be quite astonished to hear all this. So some human experts had actually discovered the issue. They had merely been helpless to do anything about it.

Liu Wenyan frowned, “In that case, they should be spreading the legacy of the multiple character faction instead of suppressing us.”

“Some people are definitely pursuing this path in secret.”

Xia Longwu was frank, “We are merely unaware of it. In fact, the descendants of some experts are probably walking this path. But they are probably still in the exploration phase. As for the suppression of the multiple character faction, I am unsure if they are planning something else. And Great Zhou King’s tacit agreement with the suppression has also affected the actions of some people.”

“Great Zhou King…” Liu Wenyan sighed, “I really hope it’s not him. Otherwise, this would effect even the Great Zhou. That would be a big headache. He is very strong. Not even Great Xia King is confident he can defeat Great Zhou King.”

“He isn’t a match.” Xia Longwu was honest, “My grandpa is definitely not his match. Great Zhou King is a cultural researcher who entered the Invincible Realm through physical cultivation. In terms of physical cultivation alone, he is not weaker than my grandpa. He has long reached the level where he can regrow his body from a drop of blood. As for his willpower cultivation, it is currently near the level of the fifth principal back then. Perhaps he has even surpassed the fifth principal. Meanwhile, my grandpa is weaker than him in terms of willpower cultivation.” FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)el/bi/n(.)com

“Great Qin King is probably the only person strong enough to suppress him.” Liu Wenyan sighed, “I really hope it isn’t him. Otherwise…sigh.”

The two sank into silence. That was the most terrifying possibility. A human Invincible who was among the strongest among all the human Invincibles. The betrayal of someone like that would bring about great upheavals among the human race.

Perhaps some other people were also starting to suspect Great Zhou King. But all these people had merely been turning a blind eye. If it was someone else, this matter would be much easier to deal with. If it was Great Zhou King, this would be a massive trouble.

Xia Longwu smiled, “That is the worst-case scenario. Perhaps things won’t be that bad. There really isn’t any reason for him to do so. Also, his younger brother had also perished back then. His relationship with his younger brother was actually quite good back then.”

“Let’s stop talking about him.”

Liu Wenyan decided to move on from the topic. He was starting to get a headache.

He said, “I won’t be able to stay here for long. I’ll have to set off to the Allheaven Battlefield soon. I’ll need to trouble you to watch over Hong Tan and the others. This junior brother of mine…isn’t a cunning person. At times, he can be too rash. As for Principal Wan, I honestly can’t do anything about him. I’ll let him be.”

“Don’t worry.”

“By the way…” Liu Wenyan suddenly recalled something. He said, “I have a student. He is now Bai Feng’s student. Watch over him as well. He has probably stumbled upon his own fortuitous encounter. During his childhood, he would frequently suffer from nightmares. His willpower would start rippling randomly for no reason. You can send some people to investigate Nanyuan. Maybe there is a hidden ruin there.”

“Nanyuan?” Xia Longwu was surprised, “There’s a ruin in Nanyuan?”

“Maybe.” Liu Wenyan smiled, “A ruin can appear anywhere. He must have obtained something from this ruin. If you really manage to find this ruin, remember to take him along for the exploration. According to our rules, he is entitled to get 30 percent of what you find inside the ruin. Don’t swallow his share.”

Xia Longwu laughed, “I’m not desperate enough to do something like that. Sure, I’ll get some people to take a look. If there is really a ruin there, he will get his share. We have been discovering fewer and fewer ruins nowadays. If it is a ruin with a proper inheritance system, the kid might even be able to enter the Sunmoon Realm with the help of the ruin.”

Back then, the first batch of discovered ruins had produced a large number of Invincibles.

As for the newly discovered ruins, most were incomparable to those early ruins. Even the best of these newly discovered ruins would at most contain the inheritance until the Sunmoon Realm.

Even so, a Sunmoon was still a top expert.

Even at the Allheaven Battlefield, such an individual was already qualified to become the overlord of a large territory. In fact, the leaders of some of the weaker races weren’t even at the Sunmoon Realm. The rapid rise of the human race into a top 10 race was all thanks to these ruins. That was also why the myriad races had always been so eager to attack the Human Realm, including the minor races.

After the conversation ended, Xia Longwu vanished into thin air.

Liu Wenyan sat there silently. A short while later, Wu Yuehua entered the room and asked doubtfully, “Was someone here earlier? My consciousness seemed to have blanked out temporarily.”

“Blanked out?” Liu Wenyan smiled, “How is that possible? You’re an eighth-stage Mountainsea. Other than an Invincible or a peak Sunmoon, who can hide from you?”

“True.” Wu Yuehua agreed. She moved on and said, “Time to take your medicine. She then took out a large pill and grabbed Liu Wenyan to stuff the pill down his throat.

Liu Wenyan had just been talking cheerfully and gracefully with Xia Longwu just a moment ago. But now, desperation was plastered all over his face. No!

“I refuse!”

“Be a good boy. How will you get well without taking your medicine? I put a lot of effort into making this pill for you. Others can only dream of getting this pill from me.”

She then pried his mouth open. Either way, he was taking this pill. His opinion did not matter here. Liu Wenyan had a look of despair on his face. He felt like this place was even more dangerous than the Allheaven Battlefield.

And he was right. Immediately after he was fed the pill that was the size of a human head, Hu Ping walked through the door and said, “Time for your meal.”

She walked toward him, a pot of disgusting-looking stew in hand. The same look of despair appeared on Liu Wenyan’s face again. He decided to go to the Allheaven Battlefield earlier. There was no way he could keep staying at this hellish place.
