Chapter 482: The Human Race of the Spirit World Three Hundred Years Later, Nine Secret Realms

Three hundred years later.

Spirit World, Canglong Continent, a certain mountain cave.

"Finally promoted to the Refining Void Realm."

Staying in this mountain cave was none other than a Human Cultivator named Yuan Gu, an excited expression appearing on his face.

After all, he was only six hundred years old, yet he had actually managed to successfully promote to Refining Void.

This speed of progress could already be considered that of a Human prodigy.

"Not bad. Given your Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, coupled with the Supreme Yin True Copper Spirit Body, promoting to Refining Void is a matter of course."

"But it is still far from enough; only by becoming a Great Vehicle Cultivator can you become a pillar of support for the Human Race."

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his sea of consciousness.

An old man wearing white robes emerged from the ring on his body.

If any former Human Integration Stage were here, they would surely recognize the identity of this white-robed old man at first glance: he was the former Human Emperor Bai Canglong.

Back when the Human Imperial City suffered a catastrophe, Human Emperor Bai Canglong, in order to buy time for other Human elites to escape, resisted several Great Vehicle Cultivators from the Prison Demon World single-handedly.

In the end, he even went so far as to self-detonate, causing terrifying lethality and taking down a large number of Prison Demon World cultivators.

Only then were many Human elites able to escape.

However, even so, as a legendary former Human Emperor, Bai Canglong had practiced a primordial spirit Secret Technique that allowed him to escape death from a nine-deaths-in-one-life crisis.

In the end, a wisp of his primordial spirit escaped and attached itself to the Human Emperor Ring.

It was not until six hundred years ago that he finally awakened.

And the one who picked up this ring was precisely a young Human Cultivator, Yuan Gu.

The Human Race had suffered heavy losses in the past, and humans in various major cities were scattered and broken, fleeing to various places one after another, thereby forming individual Human tribes that barely survived in the depths of mountain ranges.

Although the situation of these Human tribes was extremely difficult, having to face the threats of Wild Beasts and Alien cultivators from time to time, they were in danger of being wiped out by enemies at any moment.

But the Human Race had tenacious vitality and still managed to survive in the depths of the mountain ranges.

Yuan Gu was a new generation of Human Cultivator born only after the Human Race suffered its catastrophe.

The Human tribe he belonged to was called the Maple Leaf Tribe.

The strongest person among them was merely a Human Refining Void.

But it was precisely this Refining Void who had protected the safety of the Maple Leaf Tribe for over a thousand years.

"Yes, Master."

Yuan Gu nodded, his expression very serious.

He knew the history of the Human Race in the past, which had once built one hundred and eight cities on this land, with a population exceeding ten trillion.

At that time, humans did not need to struggle for survival in the depths of mountain ranges, but were able to live in safe cities.

They did not need to worry about food, nor did they need to worry about being eaten by Wild Beasts at night.

The Human Race even had many Refining Void and even Integration Stage powerhouses for protection.

Unlike the Maple Leaf Tribe, which only had one Refining Void Old Ancestor.

If this Refining Void Old Ancestor were to fall, then the Maple Leaf Tribe would be completely finished.

Therefore, he was very clear about the responsibility on his shoulders, which was to become a Great Vehicle Cultivator of the Human Race and strive for the rise of the Human Race.

He must also lead the Human Race to rise and build cities belonging to the Human Race on this land.

"However, Master, I have already left the tribe for two or three hundred years."

"I don't know what the Maple Leaf Tribe looks like now, and whether I can go back to the tribe to take a look."

Yuan Gu asked with great anticipation.

In order to promote to Refining Void, he had chosen to leave the Maple Leaf Tribe and go outside to seek opportunities.

After all, the resources within the Maple Leaf Tribe were truly too scarce to support a second Refining Void.

If one wanted to rapidly improve their cultivation, they still had to go outside to seek opportunities.

Fortunately, with the help of his master Bai Canglong, he had managed to get along quite well in other places.

Even though he had encountered some crises, he had also obtained quite a few opportunities.

By now, he had even successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and promoted to Refining Void.

This meant that if he returned to the Maple Leaf Tribe now, he would be the strongest in the Maple Leaf Tribe, and would certainly be able to become the pillar of the tribe and protect the safety of the Maple Leaf Tribe.

"Of course, no problem."

Hearing this, Bai Canglong immediately smiled; he also knew the deep desire in his disciple's heart, which was to return home in glory, and more importantly, there were many relatives in the tribe, so his disciple naturally missed them very much.

Whoosh!

After another few days, Yuan Gu rushed all the way, dodging quite a few dangers, and finally returned to the Maple Leaf Tribe.

"What is going on? Where is the Maple Leaf Tribe? Where exactly did they go?"

"Could it be that they encountered some danger?"

After returning to the Maple Leaf Tribe, Yuan Gu's expression changed drastically, because he discovered that the Maple Leaf Tribe had long been deserted, with only empty buildings left behind.

Moreover, there was a lot of dust in the tribe, clearly having been left for a long time.

His heart sank all of a sudden.

After all, three hundred years was long enough; over such a long time, it was very normal for some accidents to happen.

If they were unlucky and encountered some powerful Wild Beasts, it would be enough to wipe out the Maple Leaf Tribe dozens of times.

"No, the Maple Leaf Tribe should not have encountered any danger."

"Look carefully at the buildings of the tribe; there are no traces of being destroyed."

"That is to say, the tribe was not invaded by enemies."

"And the items inside the various buildings have also been packed up cleanly."

"So it is more likely that they migrated elsewhere."

Bai Canglong said in a deep voice.

He had seen many details in the Maple Leaf Tribe, and it was clear that the Maple Leaf Tribe had relocated elsewhere.

Rather than being invaded by enemies, which would have led to the entire tribe being exterminated.

"Migrated elsewhere?"

"If that is the case, Father and Mother would definitely have left a message for me."

Thinking of this, Yuan Gu seemed to have thought of something; his figure flashed, and he immediately arrived at one of the courtyards of the Maple Leaf Tribe—this courtyard was his former residence, the place where he had lived from childhood to adulthood.

But now it was empty inside; it seemed all the furniture had been moved away, leaving it completely bare.

However, he did not pay much attention to that, immediately walking into the courtyard and arriving at a secret chamber.

Then he saw the secret message left by his father.

These secret messages were only understandable to family members; even if others obtained them, it would be impossible to guess what they meant.

"Master, your guess was correct."

"The Maple Leaf Tribe did indeed move away; it seems they relocated to the Leiming Mountain Range."

"It is said that a powerful Human Race faction built a city in the Leiming Mountain Range and hoped that many Human Race tribes would move to the Leiming Mountain Range, which is why our Maple Leaf Tribe moved away."

Seeing the message left by his father, Yuan Gu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; it was a good thing that his family members were not dead.

Moreover, his father and mother were also Spirit Severing Cultivators and had a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

"Relocated to the Leiming Mountain Range? Are they crazy?"

"Don't they know that a large number of Wild Beasts live in that Leiming Mountain Range, and many races inhabit it as well?"

"Especially the Puppet Race, the Tengshe Race, and the Golden Toad Race; they are all great enemies of our Human Race."

"Building a city in the enemy's territory—are they tired of living?"

Bai Canglong frowned; he felt that the so-called Human Race faction was likely disguised by enemies, with the goal of exterminating the many Human Race tribes. He knew that the Puppet Race had always wanted to wipe out the Human Race.

"I think so too."

"But that mysterious Human Race faction is too powerful."

"It seems they dispatched three Human Race Integration Great Powers and even brought along a Great Vehicle Realm Spirit Beast."

"If the Maple Leaf Tribe didn't want to die, they had no choice but to obey the order."

Yuan Gu said with great helplessness.

He could fully imagine the helplessness of the Maple Leaf Tribe back then, even if the other party was not trustworthy.

But the situation was stronger than the people.

If they had angered the other party, the Maple Leaf Tribe would have been annihilated in an instant.

So, in order to survive, they could only agree to the other party's request.

Fortunately, the other party did indeed look like Human Race powerhouses, and on the surface, there didn't seem to be any major problems.

Therefore, the Maple Leaf Tribe's evacuation was orderly.

"How is that possible? Three Human Race Integration Great Powers and a Great Vehicle Realm Spirit Beast?"

"Where on earth did so many Human Race powerhouses come from?"

"They couldn't have made a mistake, could they?"

Hearing these words, Bai Canglong was simply incredulous; he knew the strength of the Human Race.

After the former Human Imperial City was destroyed, the number of Integration Great Powers who could truly escape was actually very few.

Even if they escaped, they fell during the process of being hunted by enemies.

But why did so many Human Race powerhouses suddenly appear? It was truly inconceivable.

"My father said those Human Race powerhouses claimed to be from the Shattered Star Sea."

"Returning to the Canglong Continent this time is to avenge the Human Race."

"And they have already succeeded."

"The hostile races of the Human Race—the Puppet Race, the Tengshe Race, the Golden Toad Race, and so on—have all been eliminated."

"That is why they chose to settle in the Leiming Mountain Range."

Yuan Gu looked at the message left above and was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Because the content above was simply too exaggerated.

If the person who left the message hadn't been his father, he would have thought someone was playing a joke on him.

You must know that he had received help from his master, Bai Canglong, and knew that the Puppet Race, the Tengshe Race, and the Golden Toad Race were great enemies of the Human Race, the enemies of his entire life.

He needed to be cautious and careful to survive under the pursuit of the enemies.

Even if he truly became a Great Vehicle Cultivator in the future, he would at most be able to stand on equal footing with them.

As for eliminating these three major races, that was not even worth thinking about; it was simply impossible.

After all, when the Human Race was at its peak, it could not eliminate them, let alone now that the Human Race had declined to such a point.

"Humans from the Shattered Star Sea?"

Bai Canglong frowned.

To tell the truth, although he was a Human Race Great Vehicle Cultivator, he had not actually left the Canglong Continent much; at most, he had traveled in some parts of the Canglong Continent.

After all, as the Human Emperor, he had the responsibility to protect the Human Race and could not leave easily.

So he did not know whether humans existed in other places besides the Canglong Continent.

Of course, he felt that perhaps they did exist; the Canglong Continent was not the only place where humans existed.

After all, every year, some Human Cultivators ascended from the lower realms.

These Ascenders did not only appear on the Canglong Continent.

They might also appear on other continents, or even within the Shattered Star Sea.

If they have enough luck, these Human Ascenders might have the chance to branch out and give birth to a large number of Humans.

In fact, the Humans of the Canglong Continent appeared in just this way.

They were originally some Ascenders from the lower realms, both men and women, and after getting to know one another, they formed families, branched out, and formed clans.

Over time, a large number of Human clans appeared on the Canglong Continent, and then many Human clans united to become tribes, and the tribes merged together to form nations and cities.

Of course, because the Spirit World is too dangerous, these Human tribes and Human cities are easily wiped out.

Dying and living, the Humans have never been able to develop.

They can only maintain a certain scale.

It was not until the appearance of the First Human Emperor, who became the first Great Vehicle Cultivator of the Human Race, opened up the Human Imperial City, and created the Human Secret Realm World, that the foundation for the Human Race for ten thousand generations was laid.

Hundreds of millions of years later, the Human Race has developed to the point it is at today, and has also gone through many generations of Human Emperors.

Therefore, he also does not know if such Human history exists in other places.

If it does exist, perhaps the Humans of the Canglong Continent are not alone.

"Master, do you think my father's message is trustworthy?"

Yuan Gu could not help but ask.

"To tell you the truth, the information above is truly too fake; it is ridiculously fake."

"But precisely because it is like this, it is actually a bit real."

"If it were really an enemy fabricating things to deceive people, they wouldn't make it fake to this extent."

Bai Canglong said in a deep voice.

"Indeed."

Yuan Gu nodded; he also understood his master's meaning, which was that it was so ridiculously fake that it might actually be true.

"Regardless of anything, whether it is true or not, we shall just go over and take a look."

Bai Canglong said.

He was impatient in his heart to see what kind of background the Human Cultivators who had suddenly appeared had, and wanted to know if the other party really came from the Shattered Star Sea, from a Human force in another place.

If it were true, then the Human Race might still have hope in the Spirit World.

Another few days passed.

Yuan Gu's figure flickered as he set off toward the Leiming Mountain Range, attempting to find the new settlement of the Human Race according to his father's message.

But when he arrived at the Leiming Mountain Range, he was completely stunned.

Because the entire mountain range was shrouded in endless white mist.

The originally vast peaks and endless mountain ranges had all disappeared.

It was as if a giant white-mist beast had swallowed the Leiming Mountain Range; an unfathomable aura permeated within, and there was simply no way to know what was inside the mist.

"How could the Leiming Mountain Range become like this?"

"Where on earth did these white mists come from?"

Yuan Gu was dumbfounded.

Clearly, what was happening before his eyes had already exceeded his imagination.

"The white mist was not naturally formed."

"If I am not mistaken, it should be caused by an Eighth-Rank Array."

"In other words, a massive force has built an Eighth-Rank Array here, shrouding the entire Leiming Mountain Range."

Bai Canglong said in a deep voice, his eyes staring fixedly at the white mist before him.

He was also an Eighth-Rank Array Master.

Of course, only at the Eighth-Rank low-grade level.

Therefore, he could see that the array shrouding the Leiming Mountain Range was at least at the Eighth-Rank high-grade level.

This level of array is only possessed by True Spirit Races; it is impossible for it to appear in the hands of a weak race.

That is to say, this is simply not something the Puppet Race, the Tengshe Race, or the Golden Toad Race could produce.

This might not be a trap.

If this were really the case, wouldn't that mean that a Human force from the Shattered Star Sea had truly appeared to help the former Human Race take revenge, had wiped out the three major races, and had occupied the Leiming Mountain Range as the territory of the Human Race?

His heart was now churning like the sea, and countless thoughts flooded his mind.

A thousand words could not be spoken at this moment.

"Could it be that my family is living inside the mist?"

Yuan Gu was somewhat incredulous.

But he did not dare to rashly enter the mist.

After all, who knew what the situation was inside? Right now, he was only a small Refining Void Cultivator.

In the Spirit World, there are too many powerhouses who could crush an existence like him to death.

If he were not careful, he might die and his soul would be extinguished.

Therefore, he also had to be cautious and absolutely could not act rashly.

Boom~~

Just at this moment, the white mist inside churned, as if a giant dragon were dancing.

The next second, a group of Human Cultivators, at least thirty people, walked out from the depths of the mist.

They were fully armed, each wearing powerful black armor and holding black spears.

Their cultivation was at least at the Spirit Severing realm.

The leader was even a Refining Void Realm Cultivator.

A formless aura of slaughter spread out, causing one to shudder with fear.

But what shocked Yuan Gu even more was that he recognized the middle-aged Cultivator leading them; it was his own father, Yuan Shu.

"Haha, Yuan Gu, you have finally arrived."

"Shensuan Daoren was right; a distinguished guest has indeed arrived today."

The middle-aged Cultivator before him saw Yuan Gu and immediately revealed a joyful expression.

He had never imagined that he would see his son, whom he hadn't seen for hundreds of years; no wonder Shensuan Daoren had specifically named him to come out and welcome the guest. Shensuan Daoren was truly infallible, simply too formidable.

"Father, did you know I was coming?"

Hearing this, Yuan Gu was stunned; he didn't even know he was coming to the Mist Sea, yet his father had calculated it.

This was truly inconceivable.

"Haha, of course I didn't know; it was all told to me by Shensuan Daoren."

"Shensuan Daoren is our Human Race's Seventh-Order Diviner, a Great Cultivator at the Combined Body Completion Stage, a being with the potential to reach the Great Vehicle stage in the future."

"Today, he suddenly cast a divination and sensed that a distinguished guest was coming, so he sent me to welcome you."

"I just didn't expect that it would be you, my son."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu laughed.

What?!

Yuan Gu was inwardly startled; he hadn't expected that his every move had been predicted by a Diviner.

Although he knew that the profession of Diviner existed in the world, he hadn't expected them to be this powerful.

Fortunately, the other party was a Human Race Diviner and held no malice toward him.

"Shensuan Daoren? Could it be that this brat isn't dead yet?"

Bai Canglong was immediately overjoyed. He had originally thought that since there had been no news of Shensuan Daoren for such a long time, he must have died, but now it seemed he not only hadn't died, but was living quite comfortably.

In fact, in his view, among the many Human Race Combined Body stage experts who had fled, Shensuan Daoren had the highest survival rate.

After all, the other party possessed the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

However, it now appeared that Shensuan Daoren was even more capable than he had imagined; not only had he escaped with his life, but he had even contacted the Human Race of the Shattered Star Sea, killed his way back directly from the Shattered Star Sea, and avenged the Human Race.

"Lord Yuan, we need to verify whether your son has been parasitized by the Puppet Race."

Just at this moment, a Human Race Cultivator nearby spoke up.

"Hmm, it is indeed necessary to verify."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu nodded and looked at his son.

Although the Puppet Race had indeed been wiped out, their survival ability was simply too strong, and many remnants still existed.

These remnants still tried to invade the Human Race from time to time, causing trouble for the Human Race.

Therefore, verifying whether a human has been parasitized is extremely important.

"How do we verify it?"

"Could it be that our Human Race has now mastered a method to verify the Puppet Race?"

Yuan Gu asked with great curiosity; he knew just how terrifying the Puppet Race was. They were essentially a race of possessors, constantly taking over the bodies of others, making them impossible to guard against.

In the past, the Human Race didn't know how many people had been killed by the Puppet Race, yet they were helpless against them.

"Of course, for the Human Race now, it is just a trivial matter."

"Look at my right hand first."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu smiled slightly and extended his right hand, revealing a special pattern on the back of his hand.

What?!

Yuan Gu and Bai Canglong both looked over curiously, and suddenly a mysterious Soul energy descended; the next second, the same pattern appeared on the backs of their hands as well.

Even though Bai Canglong was in a Soul state, it was the same, because this belonged to the power of the Soul.

"What is this thing?"

Yuan Gu was greatly shocked; he sensed an extra strange Soul Mark on the back of his hand, as if he had signed a contract with his own Soul, and no matter what, he could not get rid of it.

"This is the Dream World Mark."

"It can also be called the Human Race Mark; it can detect a human's Soul."

"It seems you have not been possessed by the Puppet Race; you really are my son."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu let out a sigh of relief; he had also been afraid that his son had been possessed by the Puppet Race.

After all, this was a very likely occurrence.

Previously, humans had tried to return from time to time, but a significant portion of them had been possessed by the Puppet Race, attempting to probe the secrets of the Human Race, but unfortunately, they were all captured.

Now that he saw his son had passed the test, he was finally at ease.

"Dream World Mark?"

Hearing this, Yuan Gu felt the mark on his hand suddenly grow hot, and a stream of information instantly submerged into the depths of his consciousness; this was information from the Dream World.

Every Human Race Cultivator who had just obtained a Dream World Mark would receive similar information to help them understand the Dream World.

Immediately, he understood a little about what this so-called Dream World was.

"It is actually the power of an Immortal Artifact?"

"Is the Human Race from the Shattered Star Sea this powerful?"

"This Immortal Artifact can even be used by every Human Race Cultivator."

Bai Canglong exclaimed in wonder.

In the past, he had been besieged by many races just to obtain one Immortal Artifact, which led to the destruction of the Human Race.

But now, the Human Race from the Shattered Star Sea could just casually obtain an Immortal Artifact.

And it looked incredibly powerful.

Once a Human Cultivator possesses a Dream World Mark, they will receive the protection of the Dream World.

Enemies wanting to perform Soul Search, or perhaps seize their body, will be unable to do so.

This is the current confidence of the Human Race.

He also finally understood what the current method for detecting the Puppet Race was; it turned out to be relying on the power of the Immortal Artifact, the Dream World.

"Let us enter the Mist Mountain Range first."

"After all, there might be walls with ears here; whatever the matter, we will discuss it once we enter the Mist Mountain Range."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.

"Understood, Father."

Yuan Gu nodded; he also knew that due to the restrictions of the Dream World's power, many top-secret messages could not be spoken to outsiders.

Unless one is a Human Cultivator possessing a Dream World Mark, otherwise, no one can know these messages.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, under the lead of the middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu, the group entered the Mist Mountain Range, only to see that the original Leiming Mountain Range was shrouded in vast white mist, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery at all.

Even with divine sense power, one could not hope to penetrate the mist area beyond one meter, as if they had entered a labyrinth.

"Father, is the entire Leiming Mountain Range shrouded in mist?"

Yuan Gu asked curiously.

"Not entirely, it only covers a portion of the area, with a diameter of about ten billion kilometers."

"This Mist Mountain Range is created by an Eighth-Order Array—the Qianmiao Haiyun Array."

"Everywhere the mist covers is the territory of our Human Race."

"However, we do not live in the Leiming Mountain Range, but rather inside the Number Two Thousand Wonders Secret Realm."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu said with emotion.

Ten billion kilometers?!

Hearing this, Bai Canglong was also incredibly shocked, because such an area was simply too vast.

Even in their prime, the Human Race had not occupied such a massive territory.

But as for the Human Race now, they had easily occupied an area of ten billion kilometers; it was truly inconceivable.

He did not even know how many humans such a vast area could support.

"Number Two Thousand Wonders Secret Realm? Are there other Human Secret Realms?"

Yuan Gu's heart stirred, keenly noticing this point.

"Of course, there are other Human Secret Realms."

"Besides the Secret Realm in the Leiming Mountain Range, our Human Race currently possesses a total of nine Thousand Wonders Secret Realms in the Spirit World."

"They are distributed across the Shattered Star Sea, Canglong Continent, Tianfeng Continent, White Tiger Continent, Black Tortoise Continent, and so on."

"Among them, each of the four continents has one, and the Shattered Star Sea has a total of five Thousand Wonders Secret Realms."

"Every Thousand Wonders Secret Realm is home to a large number of Human Cultivators."

"And the so-called serial numbers are ordered according to the time the Secret Realm World was built."

"We belong to the second Secret Realm, so it is called the Second Secret Realm, and so on."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu explained.

"This."

Bai Canglong was completely stunned; even though he had already repeatedly overestimated the current Human Race, he had not expected to still underestimate them.

To actually have nine Secret Realm Worlds, this was truly too exaggerated.

Even the True Spirit Race would not occupy so many Secret Realm Worlds.

Just how wealthy is the Human Race now, and why are they able to create so many Secret Realm Worlds? It is truly inconceivable.

Where exactly did they obtain the materials to build Eighth-Order Arrays?

"Second Secret Realm?"

"If that is the case, the Human Race from the Shattered Star Sea actually hasn't been developing for very long."

A glimmer of light appeared in Yuan Gu's eyes, and he could not help but look at his father.

"That is correct, the development time is indeed not very long."

"In fact, the Human Race from the Shattered Star Sea actually split off from our Canglong Continent."

"About a thousand-plus years ago, they came from one of the Human Race's cities—Fengxi City."

"But because they encountered a catastrophe, Fengxi City headed to the Shattered Star Sea to develop."

"As a result, this branch of humans from Fengxi City obtained a huge opportunity in the Shattered Star Sea, and thus grew rapidly."

"So they fought their way back from the Shattered Star Sea, not only to avenge our former Human Race, but also to occupy the Leiming Mountain Range and build the Human Race's second Secret Realm World here."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu briefly described the development process of the Human Race.

"So they were originally humans who split off from the Canglong Continent?"

"No wonder they would avenge us; it turns out that over a thousand years ago, we were all one family."

Yuan Gu suddenly realized; all his previous doubts were explained at this moment.

No wonder the Human Race from the Shattered Star Sea treated them so well; it turned out that everyone was originally one family in the past.

"Fengxi City? Could it be Fengxi Daoren?"

Hearing this, Bai Canglong was immediately shocked, and he instantly recalled the events of Fengxi City from the past.

Back then, the Human Race had obtained the Immortal Artifact, the Red Thunder Immortal Ruler, from the Leiming Mountain Range, which brought about a great disaster.

As a result, in order to protect the safety of Fengxi City, Fengxi Daoren activated the Teleportation Array and transported all the humans in the city to the Shattered Star Sea to take refuge.

He had originally thought that the humans of Fengxi City should have been completely wiped out; after all, the Shattered Star Sea was so dangerous, and he did not know how many True Spirit Races or powerful Wild Beasts were entrenched there.

Who could have imagined it? Fengxi City not only did not fall, but instead grew, becoming even more formidable than the Human Race of the past, and even avenged the Human Race.

One can only say that the mysteries of the world are nothing more than this.

"Father, even so, the Human Race that went to the Shattered Star Sea obtained a great opportunity."

"It has only been a development period of a little over a thousand years, after all."

"Even if a new Human Race Great Vehicle was born, it would be impossible to annihilate the three great races like the Puppet Race and the others, right?"

Yuan Gu could not help but ask.

He wanted to know what kind of opportunity that branch of the Human Race that went to the Shattered Star Sea had actually obtained.

To have actually developed to this point in a mere one or two thousand years.

This was also something Bai Canglong wanted to know; it was truly too inconceivable.

"This brings us to our Human Race's Human Emperor, Lord Zhou Sui."

"The reason all of this was achieved is entirely the merit of Lord Human Emperor."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu revealed a look of reverence, simply admiring him to the point of prostration.

Other human Cultivators also revealed the same expression, which could be described as heartfelt submission.

The new Human Emperor Zhou Sui?!

Bai Canglong narrowed his eyes; he seemed to recall a piece of intelligence from the depths of his memory, as if he had heard the name Zhou Sui from somewhere.

Right, this Zhou Sui seemed to be an Ascender, and he had also won the heart of his daughter Bai Sujie, becoming his daughter's Dao Companion; this matter had already been known to the former Imperial Clan.

At the time, many Imperial Clan Cultivators were furious, feeling that since Bai Sujie was an Imperial Princess, she should not marry another Cultivator.

But he still went against the crowd and suppressed the matter.

After all, he had far too many children, and Bai Sujie was just one of them.

Moreover, he also owed his daughter Bai Sujie a great deal.

If the other party was a man his daughter liked, then letting them have a free romance was fine.

However, he never imagined that this Zhou Sui, in just the past one or two thousand years, would actually become the new Human Emperor of the Human Race, and even develop the Human Race to this point today; it is truly formidable.

He also recalled the mysterious bloodline within his daughter Bai Sujie, called the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox.

According to legend, the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox can find future emperors, and her future husband must be an emperor.

Now it seems his daughter indeed awakened a similar talent.

That is why she was able to find a Cultivator of this level.

"Could it be that Lord Human Emperor is already in the Great Vehicle Realm?"

Yuan Gu asked.

"Of course he is already in the Great Vehicle Realm."

"Moreover, Lord Human Emperor has astonishing natural talent; he was only two thousand-plus years old when he ascended to the Great Vehicle."

"His combat power is simply peerless in the world."

"Of course, the strength of Lord Human Emperor is not limited to just this."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu smiled slightly.

He knew the history of the new Human Emperor Zhou Sui like the back of his hand.

It was not just him; which Human Race Cultivator was not like this? Every one of them understood the Human Emperor's experiences.

"Oh, could it be that there are other methods?"

Yuan Gu became increasingly curious, looking at his father.

The Human Emperor Bai Canglong also wanted to know what kind of abilities this Zhou Sui possessed, and why he could lead the Human Race to this degree in such a short time; it was truly beyond imagination.

He felt that in a mere two thousand years, there was no way the Human Race could have developed to this extent.

Even the First Human Emperor of the past, as a Reincarnated Immortal, could not lead the Human Race to the level of a super-great race.

Building a single Eight-Tier Secret Realm World alone had exhausted the First Human Emperor's wealth.

"That is correct, Lord Human Emperor's most famous method is none other than Beast Taming."

"It is not as simple as him being able to tame Spirit Beasts; even Wild Beasts can be tamed with ease."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu did not hide anything and said it straightforwardly.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, Yuan Gu and Bai Canglong were both greatly shocked; they naturally knew what an extraordinary skill this was.

It is well known that Wild Beasts cannot be tamed by other Cultivators; these are creatures that fundamentally cannot be tamed.

From ancient times to the present, countless Cultivators have wanted to tame Wild Beasts, but none have been able to do so.

But now it has actually been done by the new Human Emperor; it is truly inconceivable.

If this matter were to spread out, it would certainly shake the Spirit World.

After all, if one could truly tame Wild Beasts, then the countless Wild Beasts of the entire Spirit World could become one's own assistance.

They could not imagine what level of strength the Human Race would possess if all the Wild Beasts were tamed by the Human Race.

It is estimated that this would be the hegemon of the Spirit World.

Even the True Spirit Race could not compare to the Human Race.

"Could it be that the reason our Human Race was able to crush the Puppet Race, the Tengshe Race, and the Golden Toad Race and other races was by borrowing Lord Human Emperor's Beast Taming methods?"

Yuan Gu seemed to have thought of something and could not help but voice his guess.

"Haha, worthy of being my son, truly clever."

"It is indeed as you guessed; the reason our Human Race was able to crush the Puppet Race and other races..."

"... is by borrowing Lord Human Emperor's Beast Taming methods."

"After Lord Human Emperor ascended to the Great Vehicle in the past, his strength received a huge boost, so Lord Human Emperor went to find those Great Vehicle Wild Beasts, exerted his methods, and tamed them one by one."

"In just a hundred years, it seems they have tamed over a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts."

"It was probably about one or two hundred years ago that Lord Shensuan, Lord Yulei, and other high-level members of the Human Race like Lord Bai Sujie and Lord Feng Xi personally led a great army to return to the Leiming Mountain Range."

"In that battle, the Human Emperor did not even need to make a move; just Lord Feng Xi and the others leading over a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts was enough to trample and annihilate the Puppet Race and two other races, exterminating all three."

"Except for some Cultivators of those three races who were hiding outside, basically all of them who were staying in this region were killed."

"Our Human Race not only took back our original territory but even reclaimed the Immortal Artifact, the Red Thunder Immortal Ruler."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu said nonchalantly.

After all, he had not personally experienced that battle and was merely describing what he had heard from other Human Cultivators.

In history, it was just a single sentence: the Human Race returned to the Leiming Mountain Range, and overnight, they trampled and annihilated three races, leaving not even a chicken or dog alive.

However, even so, Yuan Gu and Bai Canglong could imagine the bloodshed of that battle and the might of the Human Race.

Because this was over a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts; what a terrifying combat power that was.

Even though the Puppet Race, the Golden Toad Race, and the Tengshe Race had made significant progress in their strength during this period.

They would have at most given birth to five or six Great Vehicle experts.

Facing over a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts, it was simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating their own strength.

That is to say, the Human Race became a super race of the Spirit World overnight.

Apart from the True Spirit Race, what other race could compare to the Human Race now?

"This method of Beast Taming is too terrifying."

"To actually have tamed over a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts?"

"Is there really no limit to the number of beasts one can tame?"

Yuan Gu exclaimed in wonder.

If one were to follow the development of the Human Race, it is unknown when they would ever possess over a hundred Great Vehicle Cultivators; even after hundreds of thousands of years, it might not be achievable.

But by relying on the art of Beast Taming, they easily tamed many high-level Wild Beasts, thereby allowing the Human Race to suddenly possess a massive amount of high-level combat power.

It can be said that the new Human Emperor, by their own strength, completely turned the tide, bringing the Human Race to an unprecedented level and making them a true super race of the Spirit World.

"That is unclear, but for now, it seems there is no upper limit."

"Or perhaps there is a limit, but it is not something we could know."

"However, even if there really is a limit, having over a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts protecting the Human Race is enough for us to walk sideways, right?"

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu smiled slightly.

Bai Canglong also nodded, very much in agreement with this point.

Even if a hundred Great Vehicle Wild Beasts were the limit of beast control, that would be more than enough.

This was also a level of combat power that the Human Race of the past could never have imagined.

Without a doubt, these Great Vehicle Wild Beasts would be the guardian deities of the Human Race in the future.

After all, the lifespan of a Wild Beast is much longer than that of a Human Cultivator.

"So after the Human Race wiped out those three races, they dispatched personnel to gather us from the Maple Leaf Tribe?"

Yuan Gu was very curious about the experiences of his father and the others, wondering how they had encountered that group of powerful Human Cultivators.

"That's right, this was all Lord Shensuan's proposal."

"Lord Shensuan pitied us tribal Cultivators and felt that we should not be left wandering outside."

"So Lord Shensuan personally set out to find every single Human tribe."

"In just a few decades, basically all the scattered Human tribes moved into the Second Secret Realm."

"Of course, at the beginning, we did not trust Lord Shensuan, wondering if there was some conspiracy."

"But after arriving at the Second Secret Realm, we were completely convinced."

"This is indeed a paradise for our Human Race."

"Compared to living in fear in the outside world, the Second Secret Realm is a Cave Heaven and blessed land beyond our imagination."

The middle-aged Cultivator Yuan Shu said with great emotion.

If the Human Emperor and the others had come a little earlier, perhaps their Maple Leaf Tribe would not have had so many people die at the hands of Aliens or natural disasters.

Perhaps more people would have been able to enjoy their current life.

But coming now is not too late either.

So no matter what, they are all very grateful for the happy life the Human Emperor has brought them.

"So that's how it is."

Yuan Gu nodded; he also fully understood his father's previous concerns.

After all, when some strange Human Cultivators appear out of nowhere, who knows what their motives might be.

People who bring benefits to others for no reason are truly too rare.

Most people kick you when you are down; very few offer help in times of need.

Fortunately, their luck was indeed good, as they met someone who offered help in their time of need.
