Chapter 239: Chapter 230: The News that Shook Beiming

"Escaped?!" The crowd was furious, looking around only to find no trace of Mo Wangchen. Furthermore, because the light was so dim underground and their cultivation was suppressed, rendering them unable to unleash their perception, it was virtually impossible to find anyone.

"Send people to intercept him on the surface. If they spot the boy, capture him directly. No matter how strong his body is, once outside, he will be suppressed in minutes!" sneered a mighty cultivator from Xuantian Sect.

The others nodded in agreement at his words and each dispatched a few strong cultivators to the crevice to intercept Mo Wangchen.

...

Three days later, Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged in a dimly lit corner, surrounded by chaotic rocks, which was actually quite a decent hiding spot.

Having escaped from the hidden sects and ancient martial families, he had been hiding here ever since. The medicinal power of the Holy Fruit within his body was continually being assimilated, and over these three days, his body had grown much stronger.

The Holy Fruit was not only effective in tempering the body but also served to enhance cultivation. However, because cultivation was completely suppressed in the space beneath the fissure, Mo Wangchen did not feel a sudden surge in his cultivation at the moment.

Yet, he knew very well that once he left this place, his cultivation would surely soar.

Over these three days, the number of people beneath the earth had significantly decreased. At this point, very few were left. All the places had been searched by others, and those treasures had already fallen into the hands of other cultivators.

Mo Wangchen woke up from his meditative state and took out the fragment he had obtained earlier, observing it carefully. After a moment, he frowned, "This should be a fragment of a ’cauldron,’ blackened all over but with a dim luster shining through. When this ’cauldron’ was intact in ancient times, it must have been a powerful treasure. But this fragment is probably useless..."

After speaking, he casually put away the fragment and stood up without paying it any further attention.

Boom!

At that moment, the ground shook slightly. Mo Wangchen furrowed his brows, "The barrier above the fissure has been broken. This place is unlikely to heal and will only continue to split wider. In the future, it will always be like this. With the earth now cracking, if I don’t get out soon, I might be buried by the tumbling rocks..."

Saying this, he did not hesitate and walked towards a wall of rock, and soon, Mo Wangchen arrived at the base of the cliff.

"Those people from the ancient martial families must still be above. If I appear, they will surely intercept me. However..."

"With the Nine Heavens Phoenix at my command, I don’t fear them. Although I can’t defeat them, the Phoenix has the bloodline inheritance of the Ancient Divine Phoenix and can travel ten thousand miles a day. Even those in the Creation Realm would struggle to catch up."

Having said that, he began to climb up the rock wall.

After leaving the ground for some time, Mo Wangchen found that the cultivation that had been suppressed inside him was gradually starting to recover.

Spirit Transformation Realm Level Nine...

Returning Ruins Realm Level One...

Returning Ruins Realm Level Two...

In the end, his cultivation had skyrocketed to the fifth level of the Returning Ruins Realm!

"The Ancient Holy Fruit truly contains extremely pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Power, allowing my cultivation to leap from the first level of the Returning Ruins Realm to the fifth level!" Mo Wangchen was inwardly stirred, a confident glint in his eyes.

Now, the medicinal potency of the Holy Fruit still resided within him, and he knew his cultivation would continue to rapidly improve!

"Phew!"

He exhaled slowly. The feeling of having his cultivation surge was very comforting, but Mo Wangchen dared not be careless because he knew that above the fissure, those people from the ancient martial families and hidden sects must be waiting for his appearance.

Those were individuals who had reached the level of the Creation Realm, the real superpower experts of Beiming Land. In their hands, he had no power to resist.

Squeak!

He released the Nine Heavens Phoenix from within the Copper Mirror. Mo Wangchen leaped onto its back and patted the Phoenix’s head with a smile, "Whether or not we can survive all depends on you. Strive to show some energy, fly as fast as you can. Otherwise, not to mention finding Senior Sister Qin Yue, even you might end up being captured by those Hidden Sects and Ancient Martial families to be roasted and eaten."

...

At this moment, above the colossal fissure, the area teemed with crowds of people. Although most Cultivators had already emerged from the fissure, they did not leave.

Because they had learned of a shocking piece of news.

Beneath the fissure, Wu Family Divine Body Wu Lingfeng, Zhou Tong the Little Peng King, Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing, as well as the strong practitioners from the Ancient Martial families and Hidden Sects, had all suffered at the hands of a youth.

Rumor had it that although the youth was only in his twenties, he possessed a mysterious and super-strong Physique, suppressing both Wu Lingfeng and Zhou Tong.

Once this news spread, Beiming Land was shaken, and more and more people rushed over, eager to catch a glimpse of the youth who could suppress the young generation’s leaders, Wu Lingfeng and Zhou Tong, with the Power of Body alone.

"That day below the earth, Zhou Tong the Little Peng King was repelled twice. In both skirmishes, he was defeated by the youth."

"Divine Body Wu Lingfeng, with a True Dragon Body peerless since ancient times, shares the same Physique as the Great True Martial Emperor from 300,000 years ago. In this era, his hope of becoming an emperor was definite, yet he was suppressed too?"

"The battle that day was massive, attracting many onlookers. It was said that initially, Wu Lingfeng managed to match the youth, but later, he was suppressed as well."

"This youth, who exactly is he? He can suppress even Divine Bodies?" The crowd was astounded.

"For millions of years, the True Dragon Body has been recognized as the strongest Physique in Beiming Land, its fame unparalleled through the ages. It’s impossible there’s a Physique stronger than the True Dragon Body..."

"Not necessarily!" An elder at the Peak of Primordial Spirit Realm squinted, recalling something, "Our Sect’s ancient records mention that in Beiming Land, the strongest Physique of all time isn’t the True Dragon Body, but..."

"Divine King Ling Changkong?!" The crowd gasped, as if realizing something.

Ten thousand years ago, Divine King Ling Changkong dazzled the world with his brilliance, suppressed the mighty, and was the first and only one to achieve Body Sanctification and step into the Emperor Realm.

Many were incredibly curious about Ling Changkong’s Physique, but to this day, it remained Beiming Land’s greatest mystery.

"How is that possible? Does that youth truly possess the same Physique as Divine King Ling Changkong?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Otherwise, how do you explain his ability to suppress the Divine Body?"

"Now that the Ancient Martial families and Hidden Sects have emerged, the legends that have dazzled the ages have all come from these powers. In this era, it was supposed to be Divine Body Wu Lingfeng and Little Peng King Zhou Tong that shone the brightest, yet unexpectedly, such a stunning youth has appeared out of nowhere. Where exactly did he come from?"

"Ten thousand years ago, Divine King Ling Changkong disappeared without a trace. Nobody knew his whereabouts. After Ling Changkong, no Great Emperor has emerged in Beiming Land again. It seems this era might see the emergence of a Great Emperor. Rumors say there’s an Ancient Divine Artifact suppressed under the endless depths of Beiming Land, considered the treasured heritage of our Beiming, passed down since ancient times, yet no one has ever witnessed this treasure. Who knows, this era..."

Around the fissure, the buzz of discussion was ceaseless, and at this moment in the front of the crowd, nearly a hundred figures gathered. They all exuded a breathtaking presence, each one a being who had stepped into the Creation Realm.

These were the individuals from the Ancient Martial families and Hidden Sects, now waiting here to intercept Mo Wangchen.

"Has the kid already left? It’s been three days; how come he hasn’t emerged?" a mighty practitioner from the Daluo Heaven Sect frowned and said.

A strong member from the Zhou Family shook his head, "He couldn’t have left. After he escaped that day, I came right back here. I’ve checked everyone who emerged from the fissure."

"The fissure is spreading and will only widen. Rocks have already started to fall from the cliffs below. If that kid isn’t a fool, he wouldn’t stay in there. Otherwise, he’ll be completely buried," Zhou Fan sneered coldly. His handbone, repaired through Spiritual Medicine, had started healing but was not fully recovered.

Being embarrassed by an unknown youth who shattered his handbone was a tremendous shame for a Creation Realm cultivator like Zhou Tong.

Scree!

Suddenly, from beneath the fissure, a sharp cry echoed. Everyone instinctively looked over to see a fire-red Phoenix emerging from the fissure, with a youth in white standing on its back.

"Stop him!"

Zhou Fan was the first to react, bellowing as his body darted out.
