Chapter 335: The Proving Ground (1)
Gu Yue followed behind Master Flying Fish and listened to him explain to him what the trial ground was really like.
"Of course, I'm also from the Yellowstone Continent, and the people who appear in this place are all from the Yellowstone Continent, but I don't know why no one has come for a long time, and now the people below are already so slack in their cultivation?" Master Feiyu said to Gu Yue.
"Master Flying Fish, what exactly is the Proving Ground? I've only heard people say this name before, but I don't know what it is. Gu Yue asked Master Flying Fish with doubts.
"That's a long story, I'll show you what the proving ground looks like. Master Flying Fish said as he stepped out of the door of the room.
Gu Yue walked out of the door of this room, only to find that his eyes suddenly opened up, and a beautiful world suddenly appeared in front of him. Gu Yue found himself standing on the top of a high mountain, overlooking the past, the whole world was full of life, as far as the eye could see, there was a lush greenery, all kinds of mountains, forests and lakes all exuded a faint light, Gu Yue felt that it was all condensed spiritual power, this world was filled with incomparably thick energy, this was the ideal place for every cultivator.
On the ground in the distance, there is a dark building, reaching into the clouds with no end in sight, the black color of the whole body looks simple and quiet, when Gu Yue looks at this building, he feels a lot more soothed.
Looking around, Gu Yue found that the top of the mountain he was on was one of the big mountains, and there was only a huge room at the top of this mountain, which was the house behind him, and there were four or five peaks connected around him, and there were many buildings densely packed on other mountains, which looked very majestic, but there were no more people in sight and it was relatively deserted.
Gu Yue's heart was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he said to himself with excitement: "It's so beautiful here!"
"Haha, how is it? You've been shocked, aren't you?" Master Flying Fish smiled proudly, he knew that Gu Yue would be shocked by the scene in front of him.
Gu Yue felt from the bottom of his heart: "I was really shocked, is this a proving ground? It's simply beautiful, this is really a cultivator's paradise." β
Master Feiyu proudly raised his head and said to Gu Yue: "Of course, the trial ground is a legendary place, a place that is the envy of all the people of the world, you will be a member of this place in the future, and we will spend a lot of good days together haha." β
Listening to Master Flying Fish's words, although Gu Yue felt that there was nothing wrong, but there was a chill in his heart, why did this sound so awkward? But now Gu Yue had too many questions in his heart, so he didn't care about these, but continued to ask: "Master Flying Fish, you haven't explained the trial ground to me yet, hurry up and tell me what the situation is here, I can't wait." β
Master Feiyu shook his head proudly and said slowly: "This is not in a hurry, the matter of the trial ground is very complicated, and it will not be able to be explained clearly in a while, let's talk while walking, follow me." Saying that, Master Flying Fish walked down the mountain first, and Gu Yue hurriedly followed behind Master Flying Fish to listen to him explain the information of the trial ground.
"To be precise, this testing ground should be called the Spirit Realm, this is a separate world like the Yellowstone Continent you came from, but this is just a transit station connecting the low-level planes and the high-level planes, if you want to figure this out, you have to start from the ancient times. β
"In the ancient times, there was no trial ground, there was only a world on the basic plane, and all the cultivators also lived and cultivated in the basic plane, it is said that in the ancient times, there were countless kinds of great gods and powers, and they were all devastating existences, when these ancient cultivators cultivated to a specific height, they would have the ability to create the world, and most people would also choose to create a world of their own for their own use, I don't know how the gods of the ancient world used their own world, what is certain is that there are indeed many people who have created their own small worldsγ β
"And what are these little worlds like?"
"Just like the Yellowstone Continent, it is a separate world, and the small worlds created by the creator's own imagination and ability are different, like the Yellowstone Continent is created by the gods of our world themselves, if you have the opportunity to meet our gods in the future, you can ask him in person, hehe, but I don't know if you have hope. β
"Master Flying Fish, how many small worlds are there?"
"The exact number is not clear, because the things of the ancient times are now legends, and no one can figure out what it was like back then, and now it is only known that there are more than 3,000 worlds that are clearly connected to the Proving Ground, but many of them are already dead silent, and no living beings will come to the Proving Ground. β
"Alas...... To be precise, there should be a total of 174,196 of them, but after the events of that year, only these 3,000 remained, and some of them seemed to be just empty shells. Just as Master Flying Fish finished saying this, Gu Yue's heart sounded an innocent sigh, which sounded a little sad.
"What? Do you know the specific things back then?" Gu Yue asked innocent in his heart very curiously.
"Alas...... It's nothing, don't mention it, you better listen to him intently, these past things don't make any sense anymore. Innocent obviously remembered something, but he didn't want to say it to Gu Yue, so Gu Yue could only stop asking, and he could also hear the sadness and helplessness in Innocent's tone.
"Then what does this have to do with the Proving Ground?" Gu Yue continued.
"In ancient times, there was no trial ground, in fact, the existence of the trial ground has always been a mystery, no one knows why the trial ground existed, how it appeared, whether someone created it or some other reason, no one can give an explanation, but everyone knows that at a certain moment I don't know what the reason is, suddenly there is this trial ground. β
"In ancient times, everyone had their own small world, and this small world was all connected to the basic plane, which means that everyone could travel between the worlds at will, as long as they had the consent of the creator. But three thousand years ago, for unknown reasons, there was a tragic battle between all the cultivators and gods of the ancient times. β
"Why?"
"I don't know, to be honest the reason for this fight has been a mystery now, no one really knows. β
