Chapter 992: Chapter 990: A Stone King Worth 10,000 Origin Stones?【Eighth Release】

Nantian Sacred Land.

It resides within the Nantian Mountain Range to the north of the Southern State, the most famous expanse far and wide.

Legend has it...

In Ancient Times, when the Hall of Longevity unified the Qingtian Realm, Southern State was merely a corner within the dominion of the Hall of Longevity.

To travel from Southern State to the Hall of Longevity for pilgrimage, one had to cross the daunting Nantian Mountain Range.

This path is known as the direct route from Southern State to the heavens.

Hence, it was named the Nantian Mountain Range.

However.

Ever since the Ancient Times when Martial God Zhao Wuji triggered the cataclysmic War of Extinction, which plunged the Hall of Longevity into the depths of the void and caused the Qingtian Realm to fragment, the Nantian Mountain Range, too, split along with a large section of land, eventually forming the present Southern State.

The name Nantian Sacred Land also exists because of the Nantian Mountain Range.

In the void.

Two figures appeared out of thin air, none other than Xiao Yi and Zou Shaolong.

Gazing at the boundless Nantian Mountain Range before him, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but marvel at the grandeur of the world.

The entire Nantian Mountain Range begins from the north of Southern State, stretching northward, reaching into the endless northern sea. It extends hundreds of thousands of miles, like an ancient Azure Dragon emerging from the sea, with a significant portion of its body still submerged in the endless ocean.

The true definition of boundless!

Even Zou Shaolong, who had seen the Nantian Mountain Range before, couldn’t help but exclaim, "It is said that during the intact era of the Qingtian Realm in Ancient Times, even a Supreme Venerable had to fly for several months to cross the Nantian Mountain Range on a pilgrimage to the Hall of Longevity. It’s hard to imagine just how long the Nantian Mountain Range was at its prime..."

Xiao Yi nodded, adding, "Even the mighty Sacred Venerate cannot compare to the vastness of the universe!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

Zou Shaolong shrugged, his eyes filled with reflection, "The universe is so immense, it’s nearly infinite. I once heard from the Holy Master that the Qingtian Realm is but a leaf on the towering tree of the universe. Not to mention anything else, the domain outside of that battlefield alone is several hundred times bigger than the Qingtian Realm..."

"The domain outside of that battlefield? I’ve heard the name a few times before, but what exactly is that place?" Xiao Yi inquired.

This wasn’t the first time he had heard of this place called the domain outside of that battlefield.

Only...

Whenever someone spoke of the domain outside of that battlefield, they were extremely secretive, as if it were a forbidden topic.

Zou Shaolong’s expression changed slightly, aware that he had spoken too much, and he ambiguously replied, "It’s a brutal battlefield, but now is not the time for you to go there." After a pause, Zou Shaolong produced a Token, "To enter the Sacred Land, one must possess a Token to open the pathway, follow me!"

"..."

Xiao Yi gave Zou Shaolong a peculiar look. It was a brush-off again, but what exactly is this domain outside of that battlefield?

Why does everyone turn pale at the mention of it?

However, now was not the time to inquire further. As the Token in Zou Shaolong’s hand initiated the guidance, a gateway appeared in the void ahead.

"Please!"

Zou Shaolong led the way, with the two entering the gateway in succession.

...

After passing through the Empty Space Gate, the two finally arrived within the Nantian Sacred Land.

The concentration of elemental energy in the air alone within the entire Nantian Sacred Land far exceeded that of any other cultivation blessed land above Southern State. However, Xiao Yi keenly felt that the elemental energy within the Nantian Sacred Land was still somewhat inferior to that of the Western State Spiritual Mountain.

If an ordinary person were to live in the Nantian Sacred Land, they would live without illnesses or calamities, reaching a ripe old age. freeweɓnøvel.com

If that same person were in the Spiritual Mountain Sacred Land, they could live for at least two hundred years.

The difference in perception is as vast as the heavens and the earth.

However...

Compared to the bustling Buddha City within the Spirit Mountain holy land, a solitary Spirit Mountain amongst them, the layout of the Nantian holy land was much more orderly.

The Nantian holy land is like a kingdom.

Zou Shaolong introduced: "Our Nantian holy land is divided into Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe Primordial, and the Central Nine Domains. Up ahead is the Yellow Region which I am in charge of. Spanning 7.8 million square kilometers, the Yellow Region is ranked fourth in size among the nine domains, right after the center and Heaven and Earth!"

Xiao Yi slightly nodded.

The Eight Domains of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, and Universe Primordial are scattered in all directions, much like stars surrounding the moon, guarding around the Central Holy Domain.

Zou Shaolong said, "The Saint Lord is likely to return to the Central Holy Domain tomorrow. At that time, he will send someone to inform us to have an audience with him." After pausing, Zou Shaolong continued, "There’s still one day left, how about I show you around to appreciate the elegance of Nantian’s birthright?"

"It would be an honor!"

Xiao Yi grinned, this was the martial arts holy land that all martial artists in Southern State dreamed of, and he had long yearned for it as well!

The two then entered the Yellow Region.

The entire Yellow Region has more than a hundred cities, but the most important is the main city of the Yellow Region.

Naturally, Xiao Yi and his companion headed straight for the main city.

However...

Just as they reached the main city, Zou Shaolong took out a messaging token, looking awkwardly at Xiao Yi: "I’m really sorry, the domain lord of the Heaven Region has called for an urgent meeting to discuss important matters. I need to go to the Heaven Region... But I have already informed Qiu Yiyun, you can stroll around the city, and he will be back soon to receive you!"

"If you have matters to attend to, go ahead!" Xiao Yi laughed and waved his hand indifferently.

Zou Shaolong indeed had urgent matters to attend to and quickly left.

After waiting a while for Qiu Yiyun, Xiao Yi started to wander around the city on his own, holding the messaging token given by Zou Shaolong.

Once Qiu Yiyun arrives, he would naturally be able to locate him.

One has to admit.

The Nantian holy land is truly one of the six great holy lands of the Human Race.

Although it is within the Nantian Secret Realm and the population is far less than the Nantian Dynasty, its prosperity is by no means inferior.

Even...

In here, ordinary people, even street vendors, all possess unique skills. If they were in Southern State, they could each become masters of a region.

"Lord Xiao, where are you?" As he passed by a shop, Xiao Yi received Qiu Yiyun’s inquiry.

Looking around, Xiao Yi told Qiu Yiyun the shop’s name: "I’m at Zuo’s Business Firm!"

"Zuo’s Business Firm? That’s one of the top three shops in the main city of the Yellow Region. You might as well have a look inside now; I’m on my way over..." Ever since he knew that Xiao Yi was a revered figure in Buddhism, Qiu Yiyun’s attitude towards Xiao Yi had become increasingly respectful.

Xiao Yi replied with an affirmative, then entered Zuo’s Business Firm.

The shop was indeed not small.

The merchandise inside was dazzling, with many items casually displayed that were precious treasures hard to find in Southern State.

"I heard that Master Ning is in the Gambling Stone Workshop, getting ready to cut open the Stone King!"

"What? The Stone King that’s priced at 10,000 yuan stones?"

"That’s right, the Zuo’s Business Firm has had that Stone King for almost a century now, right? No one has been willing to purchase it, and it’s said that Master Ning has sold all his properties this time, aiming to take a shot..."

"This is a once-in-a-century event; hurry and go have a look!"

While strolling about, Xiao Yi saw many people running ahead, and upon hearing the discussions among the crowd, he couldn’t help but become interested: "A Stone King worth 10,000 yuan stones? I didn’t expect there to be such a thing as stone gambling in the holy land. It might be worth taking a look to see what a Stone King valued at 10,000 yuan stones really looks like..."

10,000 yuan stones!

Even if one turned the Nantian Dynasty’s treasury upside down, it would probably be extremely difficult to come up with so many yuan stones, right?

What kind of Stone King could be worth this price?

PS: The remaining two updates will probably be very late, or even possibly tomorrow morning, everyone should go to sleep first! See you tomorrow!
