Chapter 100 Separation
Many people rushed in, but this place was a world of its own and quite vast. The only thing that puzzled people was that there were no ancient trees where the Kunpeng Nest was built; there was only emptiness and mist.
"Ah~"
Not far away, a dragon had been dissected and lay dead on the ground. It quickly transformed into its true form, which was hundreds of feet long and terrifyingly large.
Clearly, this was a powerful expert who had surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he was suppressed here and unable to unleash his full divine power, ultimately dying in battle.
Of course, the creature that killed him wasn't necessarily a junior. None of the people who could enter were weak; they all had impressive backgrounds, and some were even pure-blooded beings.
The place was incredibly vast, yet the killing intent was also extremely strong. A chaotic battle raged as heroes charged deeper into the area along an ancient road.
On the road, there was a broken boulder, without light or luster, with a line of words carved on it: "Swallowing the sun and moon, melting chaos."
Everyone stopped and gasped. Only Kunpeng could do that, right? Its realm was unfathomable. Even the slightest hint of its secrets left people speechless and unable to look up to it.
In an instant, the battle broke out again, even more intense than before, because there was a picture on the boulder: a Kunpeng spreading its wings and soaring into the clouds, covering the nine heavens.
Although blurry, the overwhelming fighting spirit had already pierced through the wall, with every feather standing up as if to pierce through the heavens and earth, its domineering aura unparalleled.
It was just a picture, yet it sparked a fierce debate among the crowd, who all believed it contained some kind of Taoist principle and wanted to study it carefully and possess it for themselves.
"Ignore it and keep moving forward."
Even Shi Hao and his group considered rushing in to join in, but before they could make a move, Shi An spoke up first and then continued forward.
Seeing this, Shi Hao and the others exchanged bewildered glances and finally had no choice but to follow in Shi An's footsteps.
The road is very long, and the dojo is even more vast. We have been walking for more than ten days and still haven't reached the end. This must be a world of its own, otherwise how could we have come to this?
On their journey, Shi An and his companions frequently engaged in fierce battles, fighting their way through the land.
Upon arriving here, even with Shi An's protection, Shi Hao and his companions inevitably began to fight and get injured.
Or perhaps, it is precisely because Shi An is extremely powerful that many of the older generation regard him as the greatest threat on this trip, and are even willing to join forces to deal with him.
Although Shi An ultimately resolved the situation, it left him preoccupied and unable to attend to Shi Hao and the others.
"It's reached the end!"
And so, some time passed, and suddenly a loud shout came from ahead, making the open space noisy.
All fighting ceased, and people rushed forward, reaching the end of the road.
A pair of enormous stone gates blocked the way. Beside the gates stood ancient trees, the very trees where the Kunpeng built its nest, forming a wall that blocked the path ahead. The stone gates became the only way through.
"Could it be that we're only just getting close to the real entrance to the lair?"
Although the group had already entered, they did not initially see the ancient tree that had built the nest, so they had reason to suspect that they were only now truly approaching the core area.
A sea beast appeared, tens of feet long. It was a sea whale that had transformed into half a human body. It pushed the stone door with all its might, but it could not budge it.
Some other creatures stepped forward, trying to dig up the ancient trees and carve a path through them, but the talismanic light poured down like water, shaking them all away.
A silver berserk ape appeared, extremely agitated and impatient. It quickly unleashed its treasure and struck the massive stone gate, attempting to shatter it.
"boom!"
The noise was so loud, it was like thunder from the heavens.
Within the Kunpeng Nest, the stone gate glowed, the heroes cried out in alarm, and a tremendous wave emanated, sweeping across all directions and causing hearts to tremble.
Large numbers of powerful warriors exploded, bursting like bubbles under the force of the shockwave. They were utterly vulnerable, and blood rained down from the sky, leaving behind a gruesome scene of broken bones.
It was so sudden. With just one strike, at least 30% of the population perished, shattered by the immense shockwave. Broken legs and limbs littered the ground wherever it passed.
The scene was somewhat frightening. The heroes felt their hair stand on end, a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, causing them to retreat and even making it difficult to breathe.
"Where did that silver ape come from? How dare it touch the Kunpeng runes! It's infuriating and hateful! Is it courting death?!"
After what seemed like an eternity, someone finally spoke up, loudly cursing the reckless silver ape.
After all, because of that silver ape, all of them were seriously injured, and a large number of them were even killed by the bone script in the Kunpeng Dojo, leaving corpses all over the ground.
However, it seems that the group possessing the Kunpeng remnant suffered the least losses. The bone inscriptions did not specifically target them. If I am not mistaken, it was the remnant that protected them and averted this great calamity.
"Everyone, stop hiding it. The Kunpeng remains we obtained are severely damaged and the runes have collapsed. This is the best we can do. I believe some of you still possess them. Now we need to work together to open this door, especially our friends from the sea tribe. I believe you must have some Kunpeng bones in your possession."
The group at the front spoke up. They were an alliance of powerful figures from the Ancient Divine Mountain, led by several young men and women, each of them extraordinary and radiant.
Originally, Yunxi and her two sisters should have been among them, but she chose Shi An, the man she considered extraordinary.
"We have a broken scale here."
As the words of the ancient divine mountain faded, the sea demon race appeared. Their leader had a piece of broken scale in his palm, golden with black patterns and a dull luster.
"Let's open this portal first. I think there will be even more difficulties inside. If we can't even open the portal, how can we enter the real forbidden area?"
After the Sea Demons, another group of people stepped forward.
They took out half a feather, which shimmered with a rosy light and exuded a holy aura. Perhaps it wasn't a real feather, but just down, not the plumage of a Kunpeng.
With the combined efforts of numerous powerful forces, another group of terrestrial beings appeared and retrieved a small piece of dark blood, said to have been left by the Kunpeng. This was undoubtedly a priceless treasure; if ground into powder and ingested, its medicinal effects would surely be astonishing.
Finally, after piecing together some of the blood, bones, scales, and feathers left behind by the Kunpeng, the group gained the approval of the stone gate. A soft light shone out, and with a rumbling sound, the long-sealed nest opened.
In an instant, a burst of auspicious clouds erupted, engulfing the entire ancient land, making people feel as if they were bathing in celestial rain, and as if they were about to ascend to heaven on the clouds.
In an instant, the heroes rose up and rushed in together, stepping into the true ancient lair.
"Where would we need ten grotto-heavens...?"
Looking at the scene of heroes rising up together, Shi An felt a sense of surprise.
Along the way, he only saw people using the remains of the Kunpeng to clear a path, but he never encountered a place that required ten grotto heavens.
Although Shi An had doubts in his heart, he did not stop. Instead, he led Shi Hao and the others to follow closely behind and step into the mysterious Kunpeng Ancient Nest.
"So many miraculous herbs!"
As soon as they entered, many people exclaimed in surprise.
All this was because the nest was simply too large. Looking ahead, it stretched endlessly. Some areas were covered with medicinal herbs, and spiritual energy was rising from the nest walls, with some plants shining exceptionally brightly.
This is Kunpeng's training ground. Over the long years, it has not decayed but has become a treasure land that nourishes spiritual beings.
The area was shrouded in mist, and every so often a precious herb would appear, emitting auspicious light. The burst of dawn light that greeted us when we first entered originated from them.
These spiritual essences are rare in the outside world, so their sudden appearance here naturally caused a sensation, and everyone wanted to plunder them all immediately.
However, the allure of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique in the deepest part calmed the restlessness in everyone's hearts. Only a small number of disciples were sent to try to pick it, while the rest continued on their journey.
It took another half month and a long journey, but they still hadn't reached the final forbidden area, which alarmed everyone.
During this period, Shi An and his group also engaged in numerous battles with others.
The only thing that frustrated Shi Hao was that, because he was the weakest, especially after arriving here, all the powerful enemies he encountered were older generation experts who were sealed at the Spirit Transformation Realm, which completely deprived him of any chance to make a move.
"elder brother········"
Finally, two days later, feeling utterly frustrated, Shi Hao turned to Shi An and said, "I want to train by myself."
Upon hearing this, Shi An's heart stirred slightly, but he didn't say anything more. He simply smiled and looked at him, saying, "Then you must be careful. If anything happens, remember to offer up the willow leaf bestowed by the Willow God."
"Okay, I understand."
Shi Hao nodded emphatically, then chose a direction with fewer living beings and left.
