Chapter 416 Heading to the Central Region
First breath.
The scorched earth below began to cool, and countless burnt ruins rapidly weathered under the wind and sun, turning into fine gravel.
Second breath.
Amidst the ruins, grass seeds that had long been buried deep underground began to sprout.
Tender green shoots broke through the scorched earth and grew wildly at a visible speed, turning into waist-high weeds in the blink of an eye, covering the former square and hall.
The third breath.
Wild grasses wither and flourish, the years turn.
On the once barren mountain peaks, saplings sprouted from the soil, grew rapidly in the wind, and transformed into towering trees in an instant.
The vines, like dragons and snakes, coiled around the weathered boulders, burying the last traces of human intervention.
The fourth breath, the fifth breath...
In Lin Hanzhou's view, the scene below was like a movie fast-forwarded at 10,000 times the speed.
The world changes in the blink of an eye.
Rivers changed course and mountains collapsed. The once majestic main peak of Wangshanzong gradually became low and rounded under the erosion of time, eventually merging into the vast mountains.
After ten breaths...
Lin Hanzhou slowly withdrew his hand, and the silver light in his hand gradually faded away.
At this moment.
Where is the Wangshan Sect now? Where are the scorched earth ruins?
As far as the eye can see, there is a lush, ancient forest full of primeval atmosphere.
Towering ancient trees block out the sun, and thick layers of humus accumulate on the ground, showing no trace of ever having been inhabited by humans.
Even the geological patterns here have undergone fundamental changes over thousands of years.
Even if the Great Emperor himself were to come and use time travel, he would probably only be able to see the natural evolution over the past tens of thousands of years, but would not be able to glimpse the massacre that occurred tens of thousands of years ago.
"Ten thousand years..."
"Enough to bury all grudges and hatred."
Lin Hanzhou nodded in satisfaction.
"This feeling of being in control of time is truly fascinating."
After doing all this, he took one last look at the newly grown primeval forest, then his figure flickered and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.
The Canglan Starfield is too small.
This pond cannot raise a true dragon.
His goal is the vast and boundless sea of stars, and the legendary Central Region where all races vie for supremacy!
……
Half a day later.
On the edge of the Canglan Starfield, there is a giant interstellar port floating in an asteroid belt.
A colossal flying ship, tens of thousands of feet long and resembling a moving continent, was quietly anchored in the void.
The entire flying boat was made of star-grade iron, with intricate defensive array patterns engraved on its hull, and an ancient character "商" embroidered on its huge sail.
This is a cross-star-domain spaceship belonging to the top-tier cosmic business guild, the Purple Bamboo Business Alliance.
It will traverse the long ancient star road, passing through dozens of star regions, and finally arrive at that prosperous place at the center of the universe.
at this time.
The "Top Tier" VIP room on the top floor of the flying boat.
Lin Hanzhou was leaning lazily against a grand master's chair carved from millennia-old warm jade.
The room was extremely luxurious, with the floor covered with precious furs called "Cloud Silk Carpet" and the walls inlaid with luminous pearls that could gather spiritual energy.
On the table in front of him was a pot of Enlightenment Tea, which exuded wisps of ethereal fragrance.
The ticket price for this VIP room is as high as 100,000 catties of Origin Stones.
For ordinary cultivators at the King Realm, this is an amount that would require them to squander their entire fortune to raise.
But for someone who had just looted the Wangshan Sect's treasury, this amount of money was just a drop in the ocean.
Lin Hanzhou closed his eyes, and a vast and terrifying divine sense surged out like a tide, instantly covering the entire flying ship that was tens of thousands of feet long.
This flying ship carries tens of thousands of cultivators.
It's a melting pot of all sorts of people, from all walks of life.
There were young talents going to the Central Region to study, shrewd businessmen going there to do business, and desperate criminals carrying deep-seated hatred who wanted to seek opportunities in the Central Region.
Here, news is both the least valuable and the most valuable thing.
Lin Hanzhou did not deliberately pry into anyone's privacy. He simply transformed his divine sense into countless tentacles and quietly listened to the conversations coming from various corners of the airship.
The cacophony of sounds converged, but his powerful brain processed it, automatically filtering out the nonsense.
"Hey, have you heard? Another Holy Body has emerged from the Yao Guang Holy Land in the Eastern Region!"
"Tch, what's so great about the Holy Body? I heard that in the Great Xia Dynasty of the Central Region, that prince awakened the bloodline of the Supreme Emperor!"
"This time when I go to the Central Region, I must acquire a Longevity Pill. If our ancestor doesn't break through soon, the family is doomed..."
"The ticket price for this airship is outrageous! I've spent half my life savings on it."
……
Countless pieces of information flowed by.
Suddenly, Lin Hanzhou's divine sense stopped in a "Heavenly" VIP room located not far from him.
There, two cultivators with fairly good cultivation levels were drinking together.
One of them was dressed in a blue Taoist robe and had a goatee. He looked quite like a celestial being and his cultivation level was at the King Realm.
The other person was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with a big smile on his face. His cultivation was weaker, only at the Sendai Realm.
Their conversation greatly intrigued Lin Hanzhou.
"Brother Li, come on, let's have a drink!"
The slightly plump middle-aged man filled a cup of spiritual wine for the Taoist priest in the green robe and said with a fawning expression:
"I have long heard that Brother Li is very knowledgeable and has not only traveled to several star regions, but also comes from the legendary Azure Feather Star Region."
"That's a place that produced a great emperor!"
"Brother Li, tell me the truth, have you really seen the true face of that Azure Feather Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest, addressed as "Brother Li," smiled reservedly, gently stroking his beard. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, but he feigned humility.
"Hey—Brother Zhao, you're flattering me too much."
"Who is this Azure Feather Emperor? He is an unparalleled being who stands at the pinnacle of all living beings and suppresses the entire universe!"
"Besides, Emperor Qingyu passed away more than nine thousand years ago."
"I am only 1,300 years old this year, just a minor King Realm cultivator. Even if I wanted to see someone, I could only go to the Great Emperor's mausoleum to pay my respects. How could I possibly see a living person there?"
Upon hearing this, the slightly overweight middle-aged man showed a hint of regret on his face, but then leaned closer with even greater curiosity:
"More than nine thousand years...that's a long time."
"But since Brother Li comes from over there, you must know quite a few secrets about the Great Emperor, right?"
"We've had a long journey, and the nights are boring. Brother Li, why don't you tell us something?"
Li Daoren clearly enjoyed the feeling of being admired.
He slowly took a sip of his drink, smacked his lips, and then lowered his voice, speaking in a mysterious tone.
"Since Brother Zhao wants to hear it, then I'll tell you what it is."
"These things are unheard of in those remote star regions. It is only because I was fortunate enough to follow a saintly ancestor in my early years that I know a little about them."
At this point, Li Daoren's expression became serious.
"Brother Zhao, do you know why there are so few great emperors in this world? Sometimes, not even one every tens of thousands of years?"
