Chapter 491 - Secret of The Catastrophe
“10,000 years ago, there was an overlord in the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland and that was the Great Qian Empire. Its territories were vast and it was extremely powerful. Unfortunately, the center of the Great Qian Empire, its glorious capital, was turned into ruins overnight!”
Yan Beichen continued, “Not only that, the two Buddhist monasteries that resided in the territory of the Great Qian Empire and supported it were annihilated! 10,000 years ago, there were eight Buddhist monasteries, not the current six.”
“Ah!”
Su Zimo was shocked and exclaimed softly.
There were eight Buddhist monasteries 10,000 years ago!
A single catastrophe had not only turned an empire into ruins, it even destroyed two super sects of Tianhuang Mainland!
He could not help but ask, “What sort of a catastrophe was it? Did it have something to do with the witch race?”
“No,”
He had to get stronger as quickly as possible!
With those latent dangers ticking down, the only shot he had at survival was to get stronger as soon as possible.
Yan Beichen turned around to leave but paused for a moment before remarking indifferently, “You’re at Extreme Foundation Establishment and is the second person in history to do so apart from the Human Emperor. However, you have to understand that before you form a core, everything is merely a dreamscape.”
“In the super sects of Tianhuang Mainland, Foundation Establishment Cultivators are only outer sect disciples and they will only become inner sect disciples after forming a core.”
That was the difference between super sects and Ethereal Peak.
In Ethereal Peak, Golden Cores could become elders.
However, in those super sects, they were only inner sect disciples.
Yan Beichen added, “I heard that Divine Phoenix Island produced a monster incarnate. Although you’re at Extreme Foundation Establishment, you’re probably only on par with him.”
Su Zimo did not reply.
He could not possibly divulge the identity of Divine Phoenix Island’s monster incarnate.
Everyone in the cultivation world knew right now that the Divine Phoenix Island’s monster incarnate’s right hand was a precious piece of divine phoenix bone. If the mighty figures and patriarchs of various factions were to come fight for it, no one could protect him at all!
“Additionally, although phenomenons are the strongest techniques available for Golden Cores, there’s a difference in strength between the phenomenons,”
Yan Beichen said, “The Golden Core phenomenons you experienced earlier were the low-end ones with limited power. If you meet with Golden Cores with ancient phenomenons, even an early-stage Golden Core would be able to kill you!”
“Are all ancient phenomenons definitely strong?” Su Zimo asked with a frown.
“The phenomenons that are cultivated by ancient emperors, mighty figures and patriarchs have gone through the sands of time and are still not destroyed. Their legacy crosses time and it’s only natural that their powers are incredible!”
Su Zimo asked again, “Are all Golden Core phenomenons cultivated by the later generations weaker than the ancient phenomenons?”
Yan Beichen shook his head. “It’s very difficult. All the cultivation techniques you’re using right now has been passed down from history. As such, it’s only natural that the phenomenons you cultivate can’t break out of the shadows of the past ancient phenomenons that easily.”
“If you can really create a mighty phenomenon that’s able to compare against the ancient phenomenons, you’ll definitely be recorded into the books of history and be nominated into the Unusual Phenomenon Ranking!”
“Unusual Phenomenon Ranking?” Su Zimo was slightly stunned.
Yan Beichen replied, “You should know that the ancient battlefield was formed from dimensional shards and is differentiated into different levels based on its stability.”
“Yes.”
Su Zimo nodded – Demoness Ji had told him about that many years ago.
Yan Beichen continued, “Foundation Establishment Cultivators can be sent into the elementary ancient battlefield and it can be opened once every 10 years. The intermediate is more stable and can allow Golden Cores to cultivate within, opening up once per 100 years.”
“In the intermediate ancient battlefield, there’s an extremely famous divine ranking that has been passed down from history known as the Unusual Phenomenon Ranking! The ranking list has a total of 108 positions and millions of Golden Cores fight for a spot!”
“Only those that have their names listed on the Unusual Phenomenon Ranking are befitting of the word, paragon!”
