CULTIVATION: WHEN YOU TAKE THINGS TO THE EXTREME

Chapter 876: Chapter 539: Central State_2

Therefore, in primordial times, there were many powerhouses, with even Heavenly Immortal Emperor Lords walking the earth, and the Immortal God Taoism spread throughout the Divine Land.

After the primordial era, the two realms separated, and Heavenly Immortals thus vanished from the human world. However, there emerged successors who alone dominated the era, overpowering all under heaven, and established one dynasty after another.

That era was known as the Ancient Times, and these dynasties were also called Ancient Dynasties.

The reason they are also referred to as ‘ancient’ is that these dynasties have all been buried in history, becoming the past. Currently, there is no single dynasty uniting all; instead, the world is governed by various sacred places, Immortal Gates, ancient clans, and sects.

Why these ancient dynasties disappeared, and where those ancient emperors with strength surpassing True Immortals who once oppressed the whole world went, is not clearly described in the jade slip. There are only bits of rumors and gossip, mostly revolving around Ascension, with some conspiracy speculation mixed in.

And according to Xu Yang’s understanding, these ancient emperors should be below Heavenly Immortals but above Human Immortals—they were Earth Immortals he had not encountered before.

…

Emperor Immortals are Earth Immortals!

Calamity Immortals possess the ability of immortality, and these ancients Earth Immortals had no reason for their lifespans to end. Yet, for some unknown reason, they disappeared without a trace, and the dynasties they built thus shattered, leaving only some bloodlines behind.

There must be a grand secret!

But once again, that’s beside the point.

Xu Yang’s current goal was simply to search for someone. He had no great interest in the secrets of the Divine Land.

After all, he possessed Zhuanzhou Mengdie, commanding the ten thousand realms. He lacked nothing in terms of cultivation resources. Rather than meddling in this muddy water, it was better to achieve a powerful presence that could overpower all with dignity.

His time was so precious, where did he have the spare moments to play guessing games with those people?

He would develop in secret. Once he had sufficient strength, all those bygone whispers, all the secrets of primordial times, would dissipate like smoke and become clear right before his eyes.

So… what did it matter to him!

Xu Yang put down the jade slip and then looked at Shen Xing, “I’m looking for some cultivation techniques. They don’t have to be precisely recorded, being renowned is enough.”

“This…”

Shen Xing pondered for a moment before taking out another jade slip, “This contains all the cultivation techniques recorded by the White Cloud Building, as well as an anthology of all the mana points in the Central Region. I wonder if this meets the senior’s approval?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang said no more and projected his Divine Sense into it.

“Huan Yu Scripture, a legacy of the ancient emperor, owned by the Jiang Clan of the Central State!”

“Void Scripture, a legacy of the ancient emperor, owned by the Ji Clan of the Central State!”

“Open Emperor Scripture, an ancient emperor’s legacy…”

“Eastern Sky Scripture…”

“Great Profound Scripture, a primordial legacy, a Taoist Gate Righteous Skill, owned by the Great Profound Sect of the Central State!”

“Ahan Scripture, a primordial legacy, a Great Brahma Buddha Dharma, owned by the Ahan Temple of the Central State!”

“Haoran Scripture, a primordial legacy, a Confucian Gate Righteous Skill, owned by The Grand Academy of the Central State!”

“…”

As he looked over these cultivation techniques and secret arts, either remnants of dynasties or inheritances from primordial times, Xu Yang was silent, moving his Divine Sense further down.

In just a moment, within the vast and hazy catalogue of techniques, he found an entry…

“Taoist Scriptures, an unclear method of transmission, named after the Tao, suspected to be a Taoist Gate Righteous Skill, with an extraordinary origin, yet incomplete.”

“Martial Arts Scripture, a martial path technique, a low-level skill, arrogantly named as a scripture.”

“Jade Shu Treasure Scripture, a lightning-attribute technique, with an incomplete lineage, suspected to be a Taoist Gate Righteous Skill.”

“Yin Tomb Ghost Art, a technique to enslave ghosts, a Yin-Yang mana point, incomplete and flawed.”

“…”

Xu Yang fell silent for a while, then selected three techniques and looked at Shen Xing, “Where did these three techniques come from?”

“Taoist Scriptures, Martial Arts Scripture, Jade Shu Treasure Scripture, Yin Tomb Ghost Skill?”

Seeing this, Shen Xing also frowned, “These are either incomplete methods or low-level cultivation techniques. Although the White Cloud Building has recorded them, to ascertain their origins exactly… Please forgive me, senior, the building is truly powerless to help.”

In his words was a color of difficulty.

“Is that so?”

Xu Yang, upon hearing this, did not feel lost, for he had expected as much. He changed the subject, “Then, which family runs the largest merchant guild in the Central Region?”

“The largest merchant guild?”

Shen Xing murmured, before then saying, “In literature there is no first, in martial arts no second; the Five States of the Central Region all have large-scale merchant guilds, backed either by Ancient Dynasty imperial clans or by Great Sects. No one dares to rashly claim supremacy. However, if the elder has any requirements, you may wish to visit Central State, the sacred land of the Central Region, where gathered heroes abound. Surely there will be merchants able to satisfy the elder’s needs.”

“Central State?”

Xu Yang’s gaze tightened, and he nodded, “One last question, have you ever seen this person?”

With that said, his sword finger tapped, and the empty space formed an image, presenting a woman vividly in front of Shen Xing.

It was none other than Miss Xin Shisi!

Though it was reincarnation, rebirth, and re-creation of life, it seemed not to cause too much change in one’s appearance.

Take Meng Fanying as an example, her facial features almost unchanged, virtually identical to her past life.

If Meng Fanying was such, then Miss Xin Shisi might also be possible.

Looking at the woman in the empty space, Shen Xing frowned, pondered for a long while, but in the end still shook his head, “I have never seen her, but our White Cloud Building does have some channels. We can search for her on the elder’s behalf.”

“There’s no need!”

Xu Yang, hearing this and not disappointed, waved his hand to disperse the image and then pointed again at Shen Xing’s forehead.

“Elder!?”

Shen Xing’s pupils shrank, a mix of shock and anger, yet unable to move, he could only watch with eyes full of fear as Xu Yang’s hand descended.

…

After such an occurrence, moments later, Shen Xing woke up startled, and looking around, he found that the room was empty. Only on the table, Spirit Light flickered—it was an Immortal Spirit Precious Jade.

“Immortal Jade?”

Looking at the Immortal Jade on the table, Shen Xing was shocked, his eyes full of panic. He tried to recall what happened, but his mind was a blank, with no related memories, and he was at a loss.

Elsewhere, outside the town market, Xu Yang went on his way alone, heading straight for Central State.

This outcome was within expectations, reasonable and to be expected.

After all this was only a small, obscure marketplace and merchant guild, located in the Eastern Continent, with meager strength and limited channels. It was only natural that they could not offer him a satisfactory result.

Although he did not know the exact location, the appearance of the Taoist Martial Two Scriptures and other skills was enough to prove that someone with reincarnation and rebirth was in the Central Region.

It may not necessarily be Miss Xin Shisi; after all, apart from her, Xu Yang had also reincarnated many Academy Monks, disciples, and followers. The Taoist Martial Two Scriptures might also have been passed down by someone else.

But no matter who it was, as a partner or a master, Xu Yang felt obligated to bring them back.

…

Thus, several months later.

Central State!

Among the Five States of the Central Region, this place stood supreme, equivalent to the center of the Northern Domain. Not only filled with outstanding people and Earth Spirits, but it also had profound potentiality. Descendants from primordial times, Dynastic Remnant Clans, various Great Sects, Sacred Place teachings, all had their place here.

One could say, if you haven’t been to Central State, you haven’t truly been to the Central Region!

“Tianyu City, one of the nine ancient cities of Central State!”

“It is said to have been the Imperial Capital of the Tianyu Dynasty. After the Great Emperor of Tianyu ascended, the Tianyu Dynasty fell into disarray, and Tianyu Ancient City was shattered amidst the turmoil. It wasn’t until later, when someone with Imperial Blood re-emerged as a True Immortal, that it was rebuilt as one of the nine ancient cities of Central State.”

“With a True Immortal residing in the city, and a group of Calamity Immortals suppressing the four directions, it is one of the few serene places in Central State. Regardless of who enters the city, they must not engage in hostilities, otherwise, they will be defying the True Immortal of Tianyu!”

“With the True Immortal in residence, Tianyu Ancient City’s reputation has spread far and wide, and it is a bustling hub of Central State. Now, coinciding with the Great Assembly of Tianyu, with all manner of people and horses gathering, the excitement is extraordinary!”

“One wonders what rare treasures and oddities will be revealed at this Great Assembly of Tianyu?”

“I’ve heard that not long ago, an ancient relic emerged in the Southern State, and the various Sacred Places of Central State rushed there, reaping many benefits. They will likely exchange these findings at the Great Assembly.”

“Ancient relics…”

Within Tianyu City, the streets were bustling, and countless rumors swirled, stirring the hearts of many.
