Chapter 1817: Chapter 863: Earth Rules, Breakthrough! (2)
Unexpectedly, I came up with a chengyu myself.
Then, in the future, should I orchestrate something like Chen Yuan Chasing the Sun or Chen Yuan Filling the Sea, to make my divine light even more illustrious, so that....
Gathering the Power of All Living Beings would become even simpler.
In Chen Yuan’s view, this Power of All Living Beings is somewhat akin to the Power of Incense of Buddhism, both being the gathering of many for one’s own use, yet he has no intention of delving deeply into it.
External power is always just external power; only by becoming strong oneself is the correct path.
After entering Japan, Chen Yuan felt a great change compared to the last time. Previously, it was still quite peaceful, but now, it had turned into a human purgatory.
Everywhere there was slaughter, and everywhere strong ones rose in chaotic times.
It was somewhat similar to the previous melee in the Central Divine Continent, where a small speck of land brought about a scene of seventy-two lords warring, contending for the world.
It truly was somewhat laughable.
However, as for these matters, Chen Yuan didn’t care, much less focus on those talented Japan Martial Artists, snuffing them out in the cradle.
With his Earth Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal strength, he was undoubtedly standing at the very top of the Human World, and those below the Six Realms were but ants to him.
He was no longer interested, anyways the Heavenly Demon Hall would handle this mess later, there’s no need to bother with it.
His path was simply heading eastward.
Along the way, although Chen Yuan occasionally stopped, his speed was incredibly fast. In just one day’s time, he traversed the entire narrow four islands of Japan, arriving at the easternmost point.
According to Chen Yuan’s knowledge, Jade Mountain is reputed to be the tallest mountain in Japan, attracting many people each year to make pilgrimages, with some even witnessing the sunrise here to attain enlightenment.
The Japanese people revere the sun so much that some forces have even established a red sun flag, proclaiming themselves the legitimate Imperial Family of Japan, likening themselves to the rising newborn sun.
At the foot of the mountain, many Japan Martial Artists were gathering, relying on their own strength to climb the towering peak step by step, as if honing their will and Mental Realm.
Chen Yuan contemplated for a moment, his Divine Thought moved slightly, suddenly countless dark clouds surged from all directions, covering the entire mountain, as Tribulation Thunder continued to fall.
Yet it seemed to backfire somewhat, not only was no one scared, but instead, they began to shout crazily, claiming that a strong one was attaining enlightenment at the mountain’s peak, about to step into the Yang God Realm.
There is great opportunity here!
Chen Yuan was somewhat speechless, waving his hand casually, causing Heavenly Thunder to fall endlessly, transforming the area into a Thunder Domain, striking those climbing and at the peak.
The power of Heavenly Thunder, being most rigid and yang, left those below the Yang Transformation Realm with no possibility to resist, with figures being struck into charred remains, falling from the sky.
As more people died, some finally sobered from their frenzy, leaving the area in fear, or falling from the heights to crash into pulp.
Chen Yuan merely watched this scene calmly, neither sad nor happy, pouring himself a pot of Spiritual Tea, admiring the marvelous scene.
For Central Plains Martial Artists, he naturally wouldn’t be like this, at most startling them away unless they were stubborn, then he would make sure they could never leave, but for the Japanese....
Perhaps it was due to the previous Japanese invasion, or maybe he simply disliked these people, in any case... he simply did not see them as kin.
Even though.... in Shan Fu’s memory, these Japanese were descendants of the Taoist children and native Japanese he brought along in the past, he would not acknowledge these people.
Unless, after hundreds or thousands of years, they sincerely recognized themselves as people of the Central Plains...
.....
About a quarter of an hour later, all the Japan Martial Artists near Jade Mountain had disappeared without a trace, leaving far away from this Thunder Domain, not daring to approach within ten miles.
Many people were still trembling with fear, even speculating about what had happened.
Why had Jade Mountain undergone such changes?
A Martial Arts Holy Land turned into a Forbidden Land.
Could it be that the heavens truly do not favor Japan?
Chen Yuan, after the people left, calmly walked to the peak of Jade Mountain. Although with his Divine Skills, he could obliterate everyone with a single thought.
He wasn’t overly cruel; the Heavenly Demon Hall will lead them into purgatory eventually. For now, living.... is not a blessing.
Jade Mountain seemed like a Divine Pillar, reaching the heavens and connecting the earth, towering into the clouds, giving those at the summit an extraordinary feeling as if being within a sea of clouds.
But Chen Yuan had no interest in observing the scenery, instead opening the Heavenly Eye, scanning all directions.
This time, what he saw was not the plants and trees as before; as far as he could see, the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in pale cyan light beams.
That is.... rules!
The manifested rules of the Five Elements Earth!
Invisible to the naked eye, unseen by the Dharma Eye, but comprehending heaven and earth here would yield twice the result with half the effort, undoubtedly a sacred land for cultivation!
Especially so for Earth Immortals.
As for the reason, Chen Yuan figured it out quickly.
This Jade Mountain, reaching deep into the earth for centuries, evolved naturally, gathering the Earth Element Rules, manifesting them here, and the mountain peak is where the rules are most concentrated.
He even thought that if someone tried to shatter this Divine Pillar, it would be impossible without the strength of the Six Realms.
Rule unity, absolutely indestructible.
Understanding all this, Chen Yuan did not pursue it further, opting to breakthrough first. As for this Divine Pillar, he could inform Moluo to cultivate here in the future.
Sitting cross-legged at the mountain peak, Chen Yuan closed his eyes, the endless sounds of thunder resonating in his ears, while his Spirit seemed to merge with heaven and earth, blending into this Divine Pillar.
If he opened the Heavenly Eye now, he would see that the manifested Earth Element Rules seem to be drawn by something, gradually converging toward him.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, half a year flew by, this time’s enlightenment broke his previous three-month retreat record, extending even longer.
And nearly a year has passed since the battle in Central State.
Less than nine years remain until the arrival of the Immortal Domain!
During this year, Chen Yuan has seen immense progress, from barely matching Earth Immortal experts upon initially entering the Martial God Realm, to now subduing the Western Buddhist Regions and defeating the Northern Barbarian Prairie.
He achieved this in a short time.
Step by step cultivation, gaining numerous opportunities, dealing with those blessed with Qi Fortune, presenting them to the Qi Fortune Altar, now achieving inner and outer unity.
His Primordial Spirit and physical body have both stepped into the second level, possessing the formidable power to rival a Heavenly Immortal.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he is invincible in the Human World.
And in this half-year, the changes in the Human World have become less apparent, the demon race, which previously had ideas, mysteriously retreated once again.
Even withdrawing significantly, as if unwilling to wage war with the Human Race.
As for the Central Plains, the Western Regions have submitted, the Northern Barbarians have submitted, various resources gradually fortified the court’s strength, and in Japan, strong ones from the Heavenly Demon Hall have begun to station.
Initiating a blood purification.
The so-called seventy-two lords are no match in the face of the Central Immortal Sect.
The once suppressed Dongfang Sheng, labeled as the Peerless Demon Lord in Japan, with his two great protectors and several Demon Lords, each holding fearsome titles.
Names like Destructive Demon Venerable, Sky Breaking Divine Sovereign, and God King Guardian were appended to them as if cost nothing, vividly exhibiting ’flattery’.
On this day, having essentially pacified Japan, Dongfang Sheng developed a slight interest upon hearing Jade Mountain became a Thunder Domain and wished to investigate.
To see if any treasures were about to emerge.
And on this same day, the long-sitting Chen Yuan at the mountain peak for half a year slowly opened his serene eyes, seemingly seeing through everything, neither sad nor happy.
Two vaguely discernible rule forces manifested between heaven and earth.
A terrifying aura swept the heavens, akin to the world itself getting enraged.
