Chapter 297

"Brother Luo Rong, you've asked the right person! I am very knowledgeable about Mount Sumeru!"

After finishing, he cleared his throat and introduced: "Mount Sumeru is a secret realm that suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom thousands of years ago! No one knows the origin of this secret realm; some speculate that it is a corner of the Immortal Realm, severed by someone with heaven-defying power, and drifted to us! But there is no evidence."

"When Mount Sumeru first appeared, it really caused quite a stir! Legend has it that back then, not only the Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom, but people from the entire Northern Region, and even the Central Plains, all came to Mount Sumeru to investigate!"

"Moreover, many treasures were obtained within Mount Sumeru! For example, the Sumeru Sword, one of the top ten famous swords in the world today, came from Mount Sumeru! That is a weapon of Immortal Grade!"

"It's just that, after thousands of years of looting by various forces in the world, the treasures and resources of Mount Sumeru have become fewer and fewer. For over a thousand years, it has fallen from the altar of top-tier secret realms and become an ordinary secret realm!"

"Of course, the ordinary secret realm I'm talking about is relative to the whole world! For our Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom, and even the Fenglin Continent, Mount Sumeru is still a first-class secret realm!"

Luo Rong nodded and said: "Then what is the situation inside this Mount Sumeru?"

Sun Xiu replied: "The interior of Mount Sumeru is like a small world. Besides the main Mount Sumeru, there are two places: the Ten Thousand Demon Plains and the Sea of Yellow Springs."

"On Mount Sumeru, there were originally many blessed lands, but now they have basically been looted clean! The only place still worth visiting is the Tower of Destiny!"

"As for the Ten Thousand Demon Plains, that is the territory of demon beasts, a good place for training! As for under the Sea of Yellow Springs, there are many good things, but that is also the most dangerous place; if your cultivation is not enough, it is very easy to die there!"

After saying all this, Sun Xiu took a sip of water and continued: "And there are nine major entrances to enter Mount Sumeru, and Hedong City is one of them!"

Luo Tian suddenly thought of something and asked: "Guyang City is also one of them, right?"

Sun Xiu was stunned, then nodded: "Exactly, but I heard that something happened to Guyang City."

Luo Tian sighed: "That's right, we originally planned to enter from the Guyang City entrance. But, the current Guyang City has already been wiped out."

Sun Xiu frowned tightly and said: "So it is true... it has actually spread to Guyang City; it seems my father was right, the Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom is no longer a place for people to stay! It's already like this, yet that person in the capital only knows how to fight internally."

Luo Tian heard that there was more to his words, so he asked: "Young Master Sun, internal fighting in the Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom? What do you mean?"

Sun Xiu glanced at Luo Tian and said: "Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it! The emperor currently on the throne of our Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom is simply a bastard!"

With one sentence, even cursing the emperor, Luo Tian and the others were greatly surprised.

"Oh? Tell me about it," Luo Tian asked curiously.

Sun Xiu said: "This emperor of our Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom, at the beginning of his reign, looked like a wise monarch, working hard to govern and loving the people. But I don't know from which year he suddenly seemed to have become a different person, levying heavy taxes and being cruel and bloodthirsty!"

"Our Sun family is one of the largest merchants in the Heavenly Yang Imperial Kingdom; over these years, through his open robbery and secret theft, most of our assets are almost gone!"

"Of course, we are not the most miserable! The most miserable are actually their own royal family! I don't know what kind of madness this emperor has, but he actually struck at his own clansmen! Over the decades, the originally most powerful royal family has actually been killed to the point of almost extinction!"
