Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 242
Chapter 242: Mount Emei
The humans’ situation was not the worst. The appearance of three Epic-ranked creatures and the protection of multiple races had allowed humans to make use of time to grow stronger. However, it was not easy to catch up when one was 500 years behind.
Zhou Song quietly revealed information. “This is nothing. We humans still have a killer weapon we have yet to use. You should know what it is. In a few decades, we can create many killing weapons like that. If we really fall out, no one will have a good time!”
That’s right. The strongest thing about humans was not their combat power, but their brains. Given their country’s habits, they had always hidden a killing weapon. If one dared to push too hard, they would give them an even more vicious blow. They would beat them until they couldn’t take care of themselves.
Zhou Song told Wei Huo, “At the moment, we have already made initial contact with the Eastern and Western Continents. We are just waiting for an opportunity to attack together. However, it seems like our main enemy is not these beasts.”
Wei Huo understood that humans did not need a savior. Even if they were 500 years behind, they could still rise with their own strength.
“That’s especially true for our country. Every single one of us seems to have a certain quality. Rather than waiting for others to save us, it would be better if we saved ourselves. At the same time, we’re very united. That’s why our country has rarely had any hero-themed works.
“Why has our country stood strong for 5,000 years? Why has our culture been passed down for 5,000 years? Isn’t it because our bloodline hides a strong spirit?”
Besides, the ancients used to say that unity was power.
The ancestors had also taught them that more people meant more power.
If all humans in the world united, there would be no problem!
The Epic-ranked vulture had been roasted and eaten by the group of pets. Zhou Song’s mouth was also covered in oil. Epic-ranked meat contained powerful blood Qi. This meat was good for cultivation.
Take Zhou Song for example. He could have advanced to the Epic stage long ago, but he had not had enough mental strength to condense an imposing aura. At the same time, his body was much weaker. The Epic-ranked flesh and blood came at the right time, allowing his blood to increase greatly.
Wei Huo refined the Epic-ranked soul gem and cleared his mind. He only left pure mental strength for Zhou Song to absorb. It seemed like he could reach the Epic stage in a short time!
However, Wei Huo still warned him. “It’s best if you use this soul gem at the most critical moment. You should work hard and break through to the Epic stage with your own strength.”
Breaking through to the Epic stage required 100 years of accumulation. Not only was mental strength important, but experience was also very important. This was the process of building a foundation. It was best to build a solid foundation.
Zhou Song put away the purple gem and said, “I understand.”
Zhou Song was not an arrogant person. Although he was a little narcissistic, he was a person who could accept advice humbly.
Wei Huo moved forward again. However, before moving forward, he asked Zhou Song where the vultures were gathered and walked in that direction.
Zhou Song said, “The vultures have always been enemies of the human race. They often ambush humans who leave the city and eat them when they are caught. I can’t stand these beasts, so I killed a few vultures. However, I never expected to provoke an Epic-ranked vulture.”
Wei Huo was not surprised by Zhou Song’s action, as he had always had a strong sense of justice.
Wei Huo was sure now. “Is the place where the vultures gather Mount Emei?”
Zhou Song nodded and his expression turned serious. “That’s right. There is a heritage cave in Mountain Emei that records some cultivation techniques. However, it was destroyed by the vultures’ Legendary-level creature. It has been occupying this cave. If I step into the Legendary stage one day, I will definitely kill this old bastard!”
Zhou Song was a man of his word. Since he had said so, he would definitely do it.
However, Wei Huo did not plan on giving him the chance. “If I want to build a gathering place for human players, I’ll choose Mount Emei.”
Zhou Song was a little surprised. He said, “I’m not stupid. Brother Huo, are you really a Legendary creature? How did you cultivate?”
Zhou Song did not know that Wei Huo had yet to be halted. He was filled with doubts about Wei Huo’s strength. He was not like some people with perverted eyes who could see through the realm of someone stronger than them.
Wei Huo said, “I just came out of Kunlun Mountain. If you have the chance, you can go there. There are not many real Legendary creatures in this world.”
Wei Huo took a step forward and the surrounding space receded rapidly. Zhou Song watched this scene in shock. He followed Wei Huo closely, and the scenery on both sides retreated rapidly. After dozens of seconds, they arrived at the foot of Mount Emei.
Wei Huo looked at Mount Emei. The familiar words ‘Mount Emei’ had disappeared, leaving only a huge cracked stone behind. The crowd of tourists of the past had vanished, and all the walkways and tourist attractions no longer existed. The mountain was now quiet and gloomy.
Zhou Song was shocked when he realized that he had arrived at Mount Emei. “You can cross distance and have the ends of the world inches away. Have you already become an immortal? You said you walked out of Kunlun Mountain. Did you obtain an Immortal’s cultivation technique?”
Wei Huo did not answer at first. Then, he said, “Humans can obtain immortal spells. These spells can’t be recorded in this world, nor can they be explained with words. One can obtain them through enlightenment, but one can also obtain them without enlightenment.”
Zhou Song was confused. He said, “Brother Huo, I haven’t seen you in a hundred years. You’ve changed a lot. I feel like you’re about to ascend to immortality.”
“Ascend?” Wei Huo smiled. “Where would I fly to? If I fly away from Earth, I’ll be in the Solar System. If I fly out of the Solar System, I’ll be in the Milky Way. If I fly out of the Milky Way, I’ll be in this universe. There’s always a sky beyond the sky. No matter how far I fly, I can’t fly away.”
The bottom of Mount Emei was extremely calm. Only Wei Huo and Zhou Song were talking about the Dao there. However, a few vultures on the horizon broke the silence. They were growling as they landed on the mountain. A few of them seemed to have caught some ordinary people.
Zhou Song was furious when he saw this. “These feathered beasts are too arrogant. They must have used a huge killing weapon to kill these foolish birds and their Legendary creatures. At the same time, that should awe the thousands of races and let them know that although humans are 500 years behind, they are still threatening.”
Wei Huo said calmly, “No need. From this day onward, Mount Emei will belong to mankind.”
As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, Wei Lin appeared. She emitted a golden glow and a non-attribute domain. Instantly, countless beasts fled in all directions on Mount Emei. Numerous birds flew into the sky, not daring to land.
At the same time, Wei Huo’s pets followed Wei Lin. Epic-ranked Black Dragons, Epic-ranked Void Overlords, and an Epic-ranked Ice Queen appeared one after another.
This powerful force immediately alerted the vultures on Mount Emei. The experts among them immediately sent out an alert. “Hurry up and inform the Clan Leader. A Legendary creature has brought a large number of experts to attack us!”
However, Wei Huo extended his hand and crossed countless dimensions. He grabbed the Legendary-level vulture hiding in the heritage cave of Mount Emei and pulled his hand back. He then crossed countless dimensions again and pulled out the Legendary-level vulture.
Wei Huo had been in seclusion for 81 years. He had also gained some understanding of the laws of time and space. It was not difficult for him to achieve this.
