Chapter 57: The Secret Realm of Tianwu Mountain
"Whew~" slowly exhaled a breath and ended the cultivation of Tiangang Blazing Yang Duel. Gao Ziyuan got up and moved his body, and after a night of practice, his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
Since Zhu Zi said that his performance had little to do with the bloodline of the God of War, Gao Ziyuan naturally would not do meaningless entanglements.
Rising into the sky, Gao Ziyuan released his divine consciousness and carefully probed again, and last night was unusually calm, and not even a single fierce beast appeared within the scope of Gao Ziyuan's divine consciousness. This is very unusual in the crisis-ridden Tianwu Mountain.
The strange thing is that there is not a trace of abnormality except for the absence of fierce beasts around.
After Gao Ziyuan's repeated exploration within a radius of more than ten kilometers, he finally found a trace of unusual meaning. With the peak on the stone wall where Gao Ziyuan lived last night as the center, there was no trace of any fierce beast within ten kilometers of the surrounding area.
If Gao Ziyuan still doesn't understand that there is a problem with this mountain, then there is definitely a problem with Gao Ziyuan's brain!
In one breath, he raised five hundred meters into the sky again, and Gao Ziyuan finally saw the whole picture of the mountain peak, where is this mountain peak? This is a terrestrial tortoise!
Gao Ziyuan gasped, he sat under the shell of the Earth Turtle last night. Looking at the size of this earth, the Xuan Turtle at least has the cultivation of the Heaven Control Realm.
The huge tortoiseshell covers a radius of more than six kilometers and is more than 900 meters high. The location Gao Ziyuan chose last night was on the side of the tortoise shell, which should be the wound left by the tortoise shell in its early years.
Gao Ziyuan carefully observed the place where the tortoise shell touched the ground, and it seemed that this earth turtle should have been sleeping here for several years.
The fierce beast of the Earth Turtle is not a fierce beast in the strict sense, and there have been no rumors of the Earth Turtle hurting people in the Qianlong Continent for thousands of years. The Earth Tortoise has an incredible defensive power, and when in danger, it will shrink its limbs, head, and tail into the hard tortoise shell.
From a young age, the Earth Turtle will fall into a deep sleep in stages. The strange thing was that even a master at the peak of the Nine Rank True Self Realm could not detect the slightest sign of life from the sleeping Earth Turtle. Thinking that it should be the self-protection method of the Earth Turtle, no wonder Gao Ziyuan has been using his divine sense to investigate around since last night, but he has not found that this is a sleeping Earth Turtle.
However, compared to the fierce beasts, this kind of fierce beasts above the cultivation of the Heaven Control Realm will definitely bring them an incomparably powerful terrifying coercion. Come to think of it, this is the reason why no beast has dared to approach this place all along. After all, not to mention that the Heavenly Realm beast appeared in the inner circle of Tianwu Mountain, even the core circle was enough to dominate one side.
Although there are occasional True Self Realm beasts in the inner circle, they are at most in the early stage of the True Self Realm. The truly powerful terrifying beasts are all hidden in the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain, only when the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain is opened, these terrifying beasts will appear on Tianwu Mountain to operate, and then the three empires will gather the most powerful forces to explore the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain.
The secret realm of Tianwu Mountain will be opened again every ten years, although each appearance is only a short ten days, but the strong people who enter the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain to explore will fight in it for more than a thousand days. According to the records of the sages, time in the secret realm is a hundred times faster than outside, and one day outside has passed, but a hundred days have passed inside.
Therefore, every time the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain is opened, countless powerful beasts will appear on Tianwu Mountain. The three empires are not so much working together to divide the treasures of the secret realm as they are participating in the tide of powerful beasts.
After all, if too many True Self Realm beasts appeared in Tianwu Mountain, they would inevitably flow to the Hidden Dragon Continent, and what they would bring to the three empires at that time would only be unimaginable losses.
With the Tianwu Mountain Secret Realm, a good place to practice, the lifespan of fierce beasts is much longer than that of humans. Once the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain was opened, a large number of fierce beasts poured in. The next time the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain is opened, countless powerful beasts will surely appear. At that time, it will bring an unimaginable huge crisis to the Qianlong Continent.
Fortunately, with the valuable experience of countless sages, the three major empires will send heavy troops to prevent fierce beasts from entering the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain before the reopening of the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain.
Therefore, every time the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain is opened, it is rare for the three empires to reach an agreement to fight against the fierce beasts together. It's just that a few years before the reopening of Tianwu Mountain, after the three imperial armies joined Tianwu Mountain, it was inevitable that the three imperial armies would start a fierce confrontation with each other.
And use this to determine where the armies of the three empires will be stationed in Tianwu Mountain, after all, after the opening of the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain, it will not only bring the crisis of fierce beasts and beast tides, but also the treasures and elixirs in the secret realm that are enough to make the three empires crazy. At the same time, it is also the main battlefield of the high-end forces of the three empires, and countless heavenly treasures and peerless opportunities are buried in the secret realm.
During the period when the three imperial legions were fighting, the high-end forces of the three empires gathered together in the core circle of Tianwu Mountain to clear the powerful fierce beasts gathered at the entrance of the secret realm.
When the three imperial legions decide each other's strength rankings under Tianwu Mountain, they will march together to Tianwu Mountain. Therefore, the closer the armies of the three empires are stationed to the entrance of the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain, the sooner the geniuses of their own juniors can enter Tianwu Mountain, and the closer the army is stationed to the entrance of the secret realm, the fewer fierce beasts will need to resist.
Because in the secret realm, only the fierce beasts of the Heaven Control Realm and the True Self Realm have the power to come out of the entrance of the secret realm, and the high-end forces of the three empires have already gathered outside the secret realm and waited. As soon as the secret realm is opened, he will enter it in one fell swoop, and make every effort to encircle and suppress the powerful beasts in the secret realm.
In this way, although the first legion to enter Tianwu Mountain needed to open up the road and clean up some fierce beasts, because they were all local fierce beasts in Tianwu Mountain, and some powerful fierce beasts had been swept away by the high-end forces of the three major empires, so this army was not very difficult to deal with. You only need to kill and station in front of the entrance of the secret realm, and when the other two imperial armies are also stationed, the first army is the safest.
And the army stationed on the periphery, after the opening of the secret realm of Tianwu Mountain, will meet the lifeless charge of countless fierce beasts. Therefore, the three empires will attach great importance to this battle under Tianwu Mountain, and winning it means better chances and smaller losses.
It's just that in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Qianlong Empire, the ownership of the core circle of Tianwu Mountain has always been competing with the Qingyang Empire. In order to preserve its strength, the Hongyan Empire will choose to compete for the ownership of the second line of defense at its discretion.
But after a big war between the three empires eighteen years ago, the Hongyan Empire gave up the qualification to compete for the second line of defense last time, and I don't know if after more than 20 years of cultivation, this time the Hongyan Empire will once again compete with the two empires for the ownership of the inner circle.
Gao Ziyuan calculated the time, there were still five years and four months before the next opening of the Tianwu Mountain Secret Realm.
As for the Earth Turtle at his feet, although the Earth Turtle doesn't like to fight, it is also a real beast that controls the Heaven Realm. Gao Ziyuan naturally wouldn't be full, so he had to go to the trouble of the Earth Turtle.
