<h4>Chapter 1230: Seeking Reinforcements</h4>
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
At the main camp, Mei Xueyan and the rest were waiting by the gates.
The entire camp was overjoyed at having obtained an overwhelming victory on the battlefield, but this joy was also tinged with a sense of sadness. From this battle, they could also see just how determined and unyielding the Outsiders were in this war. That will to not retreat no matter what had caused the leaders of the camp to be deeply troubled.
If this army of Outsiders really managed to break into the main continent, then they were definitely not something that the numerous nations could repel with their armies.
The effect that these Outsiders soldiers would have on the regr army would be simr to how the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer army had wreaked havoc through their ranks, or perhaps even worse!
Their strengths were onpletely different levels, like the distance between the heavens and earth. There was no way to bridge the gap!
Judging by the strength of this Outsiders army, they should number over a million soldiers at least. The disaster that such a huge army could cause, would definitely be something that could not be estimated!
The fastest and most direct method of stopping this, was to block them here, not allowing them to take a single step forward!
But how should this blocking be done?
Naturally, the only truly effective method, was to kill them all,pletely annihting this threat!
That night, the sounds of bugle horns rang out throughout, and the million strong grand army of the Outsiders advanced together,ing to a hundred li away from the copsed Pir of Heavens Mountains before stopping!
“Their army has the absolute advantage in numbers, and their battle intent and momentum is high. Why aren’t they attacking directly?” Gu Han looked at the ocean’s worth of Outsiders and sucked in a cold breath of air.
A sense of suspicion arose in his heart.
Such a powerful military force, and with that strong momentum, why aren’t they moving? Why aren’t they starting the battle?
What is the point of forming up in front of them like this?
This was something that everyone was confused about.
Even Young Master Jun was also somewhat confused, not able to understand what those fellows were nning.
But what he didn’t know was that this exceedingly peculiar action by the enemy was all because of him.
It was because of that little show that Jun Moxie had performed earlier, scaring Chuangshang Beidao, causing him to lose the absolute confidence of victory.
Right now, Chuangshang Beidao had an additional concern in his heart. If they wanted topletely subdue the Xuan Xuan Continent, they had to kill that peerless expert as soon as possible! If that person didn’t die, the continent would never see peace!
Although this decision was clear, it was exceedingly difficult!
With Chuangshang Beidao’s strength, he definitely didn’t have the ability to do anything to Jun Moxie. More importantly, he’dpletely lost the confidence that he could defeat and kill Jun Moxie.
In a battle between experts, confidence was an extremely instrumental factor. If Chuangshang Beidao did not even have the most basic confidence, he would naturally be helpless against his opponent!
Since even the number one expert of the Outsiders, Chuangshang Beidao, had no confidence in handling Jun Moxie, did the Outsiders still have the ability to face Young Master Jun?
The answer was definite!
Right now, Chuangshang Beidao had already left the main camp, running southward to seek for reinforcements.
To look for someone who could face this ‘peerless expert’!
With Chuangshang Beidao’s speed, in just four hours, he’d already ran several thousand li, reaching a certain mountain.
This mountain was shrouded in cloud and mist. Among the terrible conditions of the Divine Sun country, this was considered a rare, pristine mountain.
This mountain was abnormally quiet, and for such an excellent location, no one from the Outsiders actually chose to live here?
Chuangshang Beidao followed along a small, winding path as he climbed upwards.
Chuangshang Beidao had only walked halfway up the mountain when a voice drifted down. “Beidao, this old man had already told you many times! The three of us will definitely not participate in the War for Seizing the Heavens. Why have youe here again today?”
As soon as Chuangshang Beidao heard this voice, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head until it touched the ground. Very respectfully, he said, “If there was nothing of grave importance that would affect the lives of our race, Beidao would never dare to disturb the rest of the three seniors. But right now, a peerless expert that we cannot hope to handle at all, has appeared. Junior really had no other choice but toe and seek help. I hope that the three Almighty Seniors can forgive this little one.”
“An enemy that you all cannot handle?” The voice rang out again lightly. “How powerful is the enemy? Or did that number expert of Xuan Xuan Continent, Gu Han, break past the Fourth level of Saint Monarch?”
Although his voice was light, there was a trace of seriousness as well. In the entire Divine Sun country, apart from the three of them, Chuangshang Beidao was the strongest expert. If even he spoke like this, it definitely meant that his confidence had beenpletely crushed. From the looks of it, the expert they’d bumped into this time was truly a powerful opponent whom they cannot underestimate.
An expert that could cause Chuangshang Beidao to lose confidencepletely, was definitely someone at or above the Saint Monarch level. Although Xuan Xuan’s side had such experts, they only had a mere handful of Saint Monarchs, one being the number one expert of Xuan Xuan Continent—Gu Han, and the others being Xia Changtian and Ji Bowen.
Among them, Gu Han was the strongest, and it was also reasonable to imagine that he might have sessfully broken through to a higher realm above the Saint Monarch realm in this 500 years. As for the other three, although they could also reach a higher level among the Saint Monarch realm, there was no way that they could pose much of a threat against an experienced Saint Monarch like Chuangshang Beidao!
“It’s not Gu Han, or Xia Changtian, Ji Bowen. Eh... this matter is rather awkward to say, but this one doesn’t actually have much of an idea regarding the identity of this expert. We’d only had a contest of spiritual sense before, over a distance of 50 li. This one had only exchanged a single nce with that expert, but I was defeated instantly... My apologies, Beidao had caused the three Almighty Seniors to lose face...” Chuangshang Beidao said with shame.
“Not Gu Han? The Xuan Xuan Continent actually had such an expert? The both of you only exchanged a single nce in the contest of spiritual sense?” Another voice rang out, this time filled with shock. “And it was even over a distance of 50 li? You were also defeated instantly?”
“I’m sure that it’s not Gu Han. This Beidao had confronted Gu Han before; for some reason, his cultivation had not improved, and had even regressed. Right now, he only has the strength of around the Third level Saint Monarch. If we were to fight formally, I’m confident that I can defeat him without much effort. However...”
Chuangshang Beidao shook his head shamefully again. “That expert’s spiritual sense could be said to have reached an inconceivable level. With just a single nce, I felt my entire mind shake, and I nearly lost control over my mental state. Gaoqiao Tuiku merely swept his eyes over that expert, and his mental state directly copsed, causing him to fall out of the sky...”
“A single nce...” This time, three voices rang out together.
With a distance of 50 li*,* with just a single nce, this mysterious expert was able to cause a Saint Monarch to almost lose control of his mind, and cause a Saint Venerable expert to almost fall to his death... such a powerful spiritual sense was something that caused even these three to feel some inferiority to!
No wonder Chuangshang Beidao was so sure that he was not an opponent for this expert. From the looks of it, this was the truth. For Chuangshang Beidao to bump into such an expert, and still escaped with his life, was already a great fortune...
“If that person truly has such terrifying spiritual sense, it’s not a shameful thing for you to have been defeated.” One voice said. “To think that such an expert actually exists in this world. If we could exchange blows with such a powerful figure, it would be a truly joyous thing. It’s a pity though, that this expert, is north of the Pir of Heavens Mountains.”
The other two also sighed with agreement.
Chuangshang Beidao raised his head slightly. “Three Almighty Seniors, could it be that you cannot lend a hand just because this expert is North of the Pir of Heavens Mountains?” He truly felt somewhat confused about this. What is the reason for this? If they had the ability, why won’t they go? Could it be that this three Seniors were simply content to hold on to the glorious title of Almighty, simply remaining within the peaceful confines of their own dwelling, not willing to venture into the Xuan Xuan Continent to help the rest of the race in their quest to seize this endless glory? What kind of exnation was that?
Faced with Chuangshang Beidao’s question, the three fell silent for a short moment. Finally, one voice rang out. “It’s not that we are unwilling to contribute our efforts to help our people. If that expert steps into the territory of our Divine Sun, the few of us will naturally take action. Even if we had to join hands to kill him, we would not hesitate to do so! However, if he remains north of the Pir of Heavens Mountains, we cannot do anything no matter what.”
“But why?” Chuangshang Beidao raised his voice angrily. “The Pir of Heavens Mountains is clearly gone already!”
“How would we not know that the physical Pir of Heavens Mountains has already copsed?! However, the invisible barrier of the Pir of Heavens Mountains is still there! It’s not that we’re unwilling to lend a hand. It’s that we cannot!” Another voice rang out, sharp and fierce. This voice was filled with endless unspeakable difficulties and anger.
“May Senior Almighty please enlighten this junior.” Chuangshang Beidao said bitterly.
“There’s no rule that we cannot tell you about this matter. With your current strength, you will soon encounter that bottleneck. But once you break through that bottleneck, you will also know about it naturally. It’s not a big deal if we let you know earlier.” A heavy voice rang out.
“10,000 years ago, the number one expert under the heavens, the Nine Nether First Young Master, unified the Xuan Xuan Continent. Everybody also began to cultivate ording to the cultivation technique that he spread. However, the Nine Nether First Young Master was still not satisfied, and he wanted to rule over this entire world, and all thends. Because of that, he identally discovered the existence of our race, and did not hesitate to kill his way over here.”
“Ah? The Nine Nether First Young Master hade here before? Then...” Chuangshang Beidao was not shocked lightly.
Why was this matter not recorded in the history books? There weren’t even any legends or myths in the pugilistic world about this matter. How could such a shocking matter in history not get recorded at all?
“At that time, our Divine Sun was still in its early stages of development, and our people were mere savages, devouring raw meat and fowl, without proper clothes to cover our bodies. The Nine Nether First Young Master’s original intentions were to submit us under his rule. But the moment he saw our people, he suddenly flew into a great rage.” The aged voice exined.
“Great rage? What was he enraged about?” Chuangshang Beidao asked, puzzled.
“The instant heid eyes on us, he cursed aloud and said that we were disgusting...” The aged voice was suddenly filled with anger. “At that time, the Nine Nether First Young Master said: how can such a disgusting race have the qualifications to be under the rule of this Seat! That bastard was exceedingly ruthless, even intending to wipe our Divine Sun nation outpletely...”
