Chapter 1 The Eastern Continent

The Eastern Continent, among the Nine Provinces of the world, is not known for its vast territory, but its expanse is equally immense. Within it, countless mountains rise everywhere, and countless rivers flow like dragons in all directions.

It has nurtured trillions of living beings, given rise to hundreds of kingdoms, and also fostered immortal mountains, blessed lands, and spiritual paradises!

Ninety-eight thousand and six hundred miles north of Ding Tian City, there lies a continuous mountain range that separates the Tian Ding Kingdom from the Qing Huo and An Liang dynasties, a place surrounded by many.

This mountain range stretches for unknown hundreds of thousands of miles, containing countless miraculous beasts, but its master is not them, but the Myriad Dharma Tower!

In the Eastern Continent, including the Three Holy Lands, no sect is as ancient as the Myriad Dharma Tower. Legend has it that the Myriad Dharma Tower has experienced the era of thirteen Supreme rulers.

Its inheritance is said to have exceeded a million years.

Thousands of mountains stretch endlessly, with countless dangerous peaks reaching the sky, towering thousands upon thousands of feet high. Yet, the highest point of the mountains is still behind the clouds, which encircle it like hundreds of jade dragons.

That is the tall bell tower that stands upright, seemingly cutting across the sky.

This tower is called 'Myriad Dharma Tower', famous in Central Province, and even the Nine Provinces of the world, enjoying great renown.

The Myriad Dharma Tower is built among the mountains, not to avoid the world, but to take advantage of the spiritual mountains, control the immortal mountains, and possess a profound foundation.

In the mountains, there are countless spiritual fields, countless spiritual birds, spiritual beasts, and magnificent palace complexes that also linger in the clouds.

"Huff~"

Li Xunyi slowly exhaled, feeling the increase in his cultivation, and nodded slightly as he walked out of his closed-door cultivation place.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the towering 'Myriad Dharma Tower' reaching into the clouds, and the extremely noble, majestic, and ancient divine dragon surrounding the bell tower.

A deep sense of awe arose in his heart.

That is not a real dragon, nor is that tower a real bell tower. The combination of the two is the Myriad Dharma Tower's sect-guarding divine weapon, the 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower'.

According to legend, the first Myriad Dharma Tower Master obtained this 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower' more than a million years ago and created this huge force that has been passed down for a million years.

And the original owner of this 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower' was the 'Myriad Dharma Supreme' who opened up the 'Myriad Dharma' realm at the end of the ancient times!

If the Myriad Dharma Tower had only obtained its weapon and not its dharma inheritance, it would have already become a Holy Land.

No, even if they could completely master this 'Supreme Divine Weapon' 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower', they would definitely become the fourth Holy Land in the Eastern Continent.

Unfortunately, even with the inheritance passed down to this day, they can only use the 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower' to defend against enemies, and not become the true master of this 'Supreme Divine Weapon'.

"Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower..."

Li Xunyi glanced at this divine weapon and stopped looking at it. More than a million years of long years have passed without it recognizing a master, and there are already very few people in the current Myriad Dharma Tower who have this intention.

Whoosh~

The moment he walked out of his secluded cultivation place, a series of sounds of breaking through the air rang out in the void, and flying swords of various colors and styles came swiftly.

These were the flying sword messages left by all the people who wanted to contact him during his year of seclusion.

"So many?"

As Li Xunyi raised his eyebrows slightly, a golden flying sword had already burst open, as if the person had known in advance that he would be leaving seclusion at this time.

Buzz!

Streams of light intertwined, transforming into a hazy and illusory figure. A handsome and unparalleled young man, wearing a black dragon-patterned robe and carrying a pure cyan divine sword on his back.

This young man had an aura of absolute dominance, with an indifference that kept strangers away. But at this time, there was an undisguised look of sadness between his eyebrows: "My brother is dead!"

"What? Yanbai is dead?!"

Li Xunyi's heart shook, and his expression changed immediately: "Senior Brother Lin, are you planning to go down the mountain? But your Battle King Body has not completely condensed yet..."

"Every moment I wait, my heart aches more."

A trace of sadness in Lin Yanlong's eyebrows turned into coldness: "Wu Er fears me and lured my brother to his death, he deserves to die! And one other person participated in it, he also deserves to die!"

"Senior Brother means?" Li Xunyi frowned slightly: "Are you asking me to go down the mountain to kill that person? But the 'Heavenly Pride Kings' Stage'..."

"If you help me this time, I can fully assist you in the 'Heavenly Pride Kings' Stage' two and a half years later!"

Lin Yanlong slowly lowered his eyes and stated his conditions.

Among the hundreds of kingdoms in the Eastern Continent, only the Tian Ding Kingdom is independent of the various sects and forms its own unified system. The reason for this is naturally because the current Tian Ding Emperor's battle power is shocking to the world.

In today's world after the great changes, even the several Holy Lands have not heard of the birth of a 'King', but this Tian Ding Emperor has cultivated 'Shattering the Void' in the secular world. He is only one step away from cultivating into a 'Lord'!

And the beginning of his opportunity was because of that 'Kings' Stage'.

"Is what Senior Brother Lin said true?"

Li Xunyi's eyes lit up.

The Tian Ding Emperor used the 'Kings' Stage' to cultivate 'Shattering the Void', and faintly has the reputation of being the number one person in the Eastern Continent of this era, but he alone naturally cannot be an enemy of the Holy Lands.

Therefore, he had no choice but to separate the 'Kings' Stage', limiting it to thirty years. Every thirty years, the 'Kings' Stage' would be opened to the younger generation of various major sects, and even the Holy Lands.

Legend has it that there are many opportunities in the 'Kings' Stage', not only 'King' inheritance and divine weapons, but some people have even obtained clues about 'Supreme Divine Weapons' from it!

"I never lie."

Lin Yanlong's expression calmed down, but it made Li Xunyi feel bursts of coldness.

He knew how long Lin Yanlong had prepared for that 'Kings' Stage', a full ten years. He had been carefully polishing his spiritual aspect for ten years, and only began to condense the 'Battle King Body' half a year ago.

All for the sake of taking the lead in the 'Kings' Stage' battle, reaching the top of the Kings in one fell swoop, seizing the first true inheritance of Myriad Dharma, and obtaining the qualification to enter the 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower' to receive the Supreme Divine Weapon's recognition of its master.

"In that case..."

Li Xunyi no longer hesitated and was about to agree when he suddenly heard a cold snort.

"Humph!"

It was just a cold snort, but Li Xunyi's body swayed.

He looked up and saw a gray-robed old man standing in the air at some point.

"Elder Zhao!"

Li Xunyi's expression changed, and he cupped his hands in salute. This Elder Zhao was the elder in charge of punishments in the Myriad Dharma Tower, the most selfless and ruthless.

Even though a true disciple had a status equal to that of an elder, he did not dare to neglect him.

"Lin Yanlong!"

Elder Zhao coldly looked at Lin Yanlong's illusory image: "The matter of the Kings' Stage is not your personal matter, it concerns the great plan of the sect, you must not be mistaken!"

His voice was cold, and his eyes carried a strong sense of oppression.

"The sect's affairs are important, but is my younger brother's death a trivial matter?!"

Lin Yanlong's eyes turned cold, and his voice was even colder: "Elder Zhao, you don't have to use punishment to suppress me. When I return to the mountain, I will personally go to the Punishment Stage and let you deal with me.

At this time, no one can stop me!"

His attitude did not retreat in the slightest, and was even more firm.

"Lin Yanlong!"

Elder Zhao was first furious, then his expression softened, and he sighed softly, saying: "You are the most talented disciple of our Myriad Dharma Tower in a thousand years. Even if you cannot be recognized as the master of the Dragon Tower, you still have the hope of becoming a 'King', and even have the possibility of joining the heroes of the Nine Provinces, the overlords of the Star Sea, and the geniuses of all races to pursue that 'Supreme Path'..."

"Do not lose the big picture for small gains."

Faced with Lin Yanlong's strong attitude, this Punishment Elder actually backed down, causing Li Xunyi's eyelids to twitch.

Lin Yanlong was silent for a moment.

He had boundless ambitions, wanting to compete with the heroes of the world, wanting to be recognized as the master of the Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower, wanting to suppress all races, and prove the Dao to become the Supreme.

"The Supremes and Holy Emperors of ancient and modern times were all beings who swept across the world and were invincible at the same level. Your momentum has not yet been achieved, you cannot afford to lose."

Elder Zhao stared at Lin Yanlong:

"If you fail, the sect will no longer regard you as a seed, and you will no longer have the chance to pursue the first true inheritance of this era."

"Elder Zhao."

Lin Yanlong's closed eyes slowly opened. Even through that illusory image, one could see that his eyes were as bright as the golden sun: "If my thoughts cannot be clear, then what am I seeking the Supreme for?"

Boom!

The moment the voice fell, that illusory image suddenly shattered, and Lin Yanlong's cold and unchangeable domineering voice echoed in the courtyard:

"Today, I must go down the mountain!"

"Bastard!"

Elder Zhao was completely enraged. His voice was like a heavenly sword piercing through layers of clouds, transforming into a sky-covering hand hundreds of miles above the sky, tearing apart the wind and atmosphere.

He grabbed towards a figure that shot out from the mountain like a meteor, cutting through hundreds of miles of sky:

"Today, I will capture you to the Punishment Stage!"

Boom!

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in Myriad Dharma Mountain.

Many people in the palaces were alarmed and looked up, all of them shocked.

"Senior Brother Lin is really..."

Li Xunyi's face twitched, but he didn't know what to say.

However, he had a slight change in his opinion of Lin Yanlong. Although this person was domineering and unruly, he was willing to confront the Punishment Elder in public for the sake of his own brother, even if there was a possibility of ruining his future, he was determined to go down the mountain.

This kind of person is at least much better than the ruthless 'Xue Tianfeng'.

"Let him go."

As the air currents howled and the sounds of explosions rose and fell one after another, a heavenly voice flowed for thousands of miles from the 'Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower' that towered into the clouds, covering the mountains:

"Myriad Dharma is boundless, it can accommodate a Xue Tianfeng who kills relatives and destroys friends, so how can it not accommodate a Lin Yanlong who seeks revenge for his brother?"

The heavenly voice flowed and smoothed out the boiling clouds for hundreds of miles, shattering Elder Zhao's sky-covering hand. Amidst the sounds of many disciples bowing and worshiping, it slowly dissipated:

"I have everything under control."

In the Myriad Dharma Tower, all the disciples and elders, no matter where they were, all bowed and worshiped as long as they heard this voice.

This person is none other than the Myriad Dharma Tower Master, Qian Shisi.

The Nine Provinces and Four Seas are boundless and desolate, Qiankun is also Qian Shisi.

......

Whoosh whoosh~

The air currents roared past, and the plants and trees on both sides were bent low, and dust flew up.

Yuan Duxiu traversed ten miles at an extremely fast speed. One could faintly see ripples constantly spreading around him, resonating with the air, and emitting sounds like dragons and tigers roaring.

Since leaving Blue Water City, he had been caught in a series of pursuits.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang in Yuan Duxiu's mind.

"Who?!"

Yuan Duxiu was startled and stopped instantly. A gust of wind flowed from behind him, causing his clothes to flutter.

"Don't worry about who I am, listen to me and you can live."

The voice came again, seemingly a little uneasy, but still spoke: "Going forward is a dead end, turn back and kill the tracker first!"

"Who the hell are you? Why are you inside my body?!"

Yuan Duxiu frowned deeply, but followed the advice and immediately turned back, striding and running wildly, stirring up streams of air and turning back to kill.

Because he had already realized that this voice was not coming from outside, but from his left hand!

"Kill the gray-robed man."

Mu Longcheng replied, then fell silent again.

Being sealed in someone else's hand once again, his heart was still calm. Although he had already guessed something, when his strength was not as good as others, he could only wait for an opportunity.

"Gray-robed man?"

Many thoughts flashed through Yuan Duxiu's mind, and he crossed hundreds of miles again. Suddenly, a series of figures appeared in front of him, all launching attacks at him.

And with a glance, he had already seen Lin Gou, with a grim expression, behind the crowd.

"Kill!"

When Lin Gou saw Yuan Duxiu turning back, he was also slightly surprised, but then he shouted grimly and ordered everyone to kill Yuan Duxiu.

The Lin family's power was strong. Even though many people had been killed in the Moon Secluded River, the power they could use at this time was still astonishing.

More than a dozen experts who had condensed their spiritual aspects had come to pursue him this time!

Boom!

The earth shattered, and large trees fell. Amidst the flying dust, Yuan Duxiu forcibly withstood a heavy blow from a spiritual aspect expert and coughed up blood.

But at the same time, he used this force to suddenly burst out, his blood surging like a long river, and his fists came out like dragons.

He pounced towards Lin Gou, who had a look of horror on his face.

"No!"

......

"In the mountains ahead, there is faint information, but it seems to be blocked by something. Perhaps it is what this world calls 'arrays', 'fields', 'seals', or 'restrictions'.

It's too far away, and my perception is not clear enough. I need to get closer. Or, you let me out..."

On the endless Lailong River, An Qisheng was riding on a passenger ship, looking at Qian Mountain, hundreds of miles away. The voice of the Three Hearts Blue Spirit Child kept ringing in his mind.

This was not the first time it had wanted to come out, and An Qisheng, as usual, ignored it.

"Arrays, restrictions?"

An Qisheng crossed his legs and rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtfully at Qian Mountain: "There seems to be a lot of hidden things in this mountain..."
