Chapter 482: Achieving the Original Objective
"Mountain master." A voice called and Yu Nianzhen opened his eyes.
He turned to his left and raised his eyebrow in question.
"Is something the matter?" He asked.
"Please take a look at this." An old man said and threw a jade tablet towards Yu Nianzhen.
Seeing this, the swordsman quickly reacted and caught the jade tablet.
Without delay, he placed the tablet on his forehead and carefully read the content.
Ten breaths later, he finished reading and looked at the person.
"Is the information correct?" He asked.
"We have carefully confirmed." The old said with a smile on his wrinkled face.
The old man was a Cangxing world cultivator.
He was one of several sixth-level formation masters and was responsible for repairing damaged formations.
However, he also ferried messages and information when necessary.
"The mountain master is great." The old man praised as his eyes sparkled with admiration.
When everything started, no one was optimistic about Yu Nianzhen.
Almost everyone thought he was overestimating himself and causing trouble for the Cangxing mountain.
Unexpectedly, ninety-five years later, Yu Nianzhen was still defending his martial stage.
Most importantly, he had already achieved his original intention.
’With this, my Cangxing mountain will enjoy an additional one thousand years of peace.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and a smile curled his lips.
"Congratulations to the mountain master." The old man said and bowed.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded and turned to the first small stage.
In the thirty-fifth year of the competition, Jiang Yue retreated to absorb his gains and refine the yin-yang essence.
This seclusion lasted ten years.
When Jiang Yue came out of seclusion, his cultivation had advanced to the middle of the first level of the reincarnation realm.
Most importantly, his state of mind had improved a lot and his techniques took a leap forward.
Forty years later, Jiang Yue was undefeated and like Yu Nianzhen, he had become a famous figure in the Reincarnation world.
At this time, he was also holding a jade tablet and looking at Yu Nianzhen.
"You did it." He mouthed with a beautiful smile on his lips.
’My Azhen is awesome.’ He thought and chuckled happily.
From the information in the jade, Jiang Yue learned that Yu Nianzhen had basically defeated all the world representatives.
In this way, according to the original agreement, those worlds could not challenge the Cangxing mountain in the following one thousand years.
However, this victory did not come cheap.
In the past ninety-five years, Yu Nianzhen suffered countless injuries.
Although he had the Tree of Life and the injuries would not kill him, the pain was not something that ordinary cultivators could bear.
Fortunately, Yu Nianzhen was not ordinary.
He not only survived the pain but also used it to temper his mind and condense his killing intent.
Compared to ninety-five years ago, the current Yu Nianzhen was calmer but more dangerous.
[We have achieved our goal but you can’t be more careless.] Jiang Yue reminded with a solemn look in his eyes.
[I know, don’t worry.] Yu Nianzhen said.
Now that the competition for mines was over, the competition for treasures would seriously begin.
After all, Yu Nianzhen had collected countless treasures and many cultivators had long been eyeing them.
[You also have to be careful.]
[Don’t worry, I won’t be careless.]
[Good.]
[Azhen, your cultivation is approaching the middle of the first level.]
[I should be able to break through in a year or two.]
Unlike Jiang Yue, Yu Nianzhen couldn’t retreat for substantial periods.
As a result, his cultivation advanced slowly and he was decades behind Jiang Yue.
However, Yu Nianzhen was not worried.
In the past ninety-five years, he fought many kinds of cultivators and gained many insights.
When the event ended, he would immediately retreat to absorb the insights.
At that time, his cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds.
If everything went as planned, Yu Nianzhen expected to achieve the peak of the first level within the next two hundred years.
After that, he would still have more than five hundred years to overcome the first tribulation and advance to the second level of the reincarnation realm.
’Should XiaoYue and I go to the Burial Province after reaching the peak of the first level?’ He wondered.
However, Yu Nianzhen was a little uncertain about this plan.
From what he knew, the Burial Province was extremely dangerous.
If he and Jiang Yue made a mistake and ended up trapped in the province, they would miss the timing for crossing the first tribulation.
’Maybe it’s better to go after the first tribulation.’ He decided.
[What are you thinking?] Jiang Yue suddenly questioned.
[The Burial Province. Do you want to go?]
[Of course I want to go.] Jiang Yue answered and rolled his eyes.
Over the years, he accepted a lot of challenges and earned many treasures.
Although there weren’t many, among the treasures he received were relics from the Burial Province.
When he looked at these relics, Jiang Yue couldn’t help but yearn for the Burial Province.
He had long been impatient for the event to end.
When the event ended, he and Yu Nianzhen would retreat and later go to the Burial Province.
[Azhen, I received a strange technique.] Jiang Yue said with a solemn look in his eyes.
[What kind of technique?]
[It’s a soul-refining technique but that’s not the point.] Jiang Yue said and frowned.
Back then, he felt Mu Huan was strange.
Because of this, he carefully checked the items in the opponent’s storage artefacts.
As a result, he discovered an incomplete soul-refining technique.
Recalling that he had the first part of the technique, Jiang Yue merged the two together and gained the complete technique.
As expected, the soul-refining technique was extraordinary.
However, Jiang Yue always felt that he was missing something.
He couldn’t pinpoint the cause of this feeling but he couldn’t let it go.
Because of this, he often studied the technique and decades later, he finally discovered the secret.
Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to practice the technique during the event period. His plan was to practice after returning to the Cangxing mountain.
After Jiang Yue explained everything, Yu Nianzhen fell into thought and didn’t speak until a few breaths later.
[Let’s wait until we return to the Cangxing Mountain.] He said.
[I also think so.] Jiang Yue agreed.
[Azhen, did you hear about Meng Zihua and Bei Chengling? I have long suspected that they would get together.] Jiang Yue gossiped and Yu Nianzhen braced himself to listen.
While the two were gossiping, the spectators were not calm.
"I can’t believe this." A male cultivator shouted.
Like Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen, the news had also spread to the spectators.
They knew that the Cangxing mountain master had successfully achieved his original objective.
However, no matter how they thought about it, this outcome was unreal.
"Is he a monster?" Someone asked, his voice laced with disbelief.
"If the Cangxing mountain master doesn’t die, he will dominate the Reincarnation World for the next nine thousand years."
"I agree. His force value is unbelievable."
"With the resources he gained this time, the Cangxing Mountain will no longer be as passive as before."
"If nothing happens, the Cangxing mountain will rise."
"The Cangxing mountain master is not the only one." A spectator said with narrowed eyes.
"Aside from the Cangxing mountain master, the deputy mountain master, fellow Daoist Wei, and fellow Daoist Lin have also not lost."
"It’s a little strange how many geniuses have risen in the Cangxing world." Someone observed.
"I also think so." Another agreed.
From bone observation, it was possible to deduce the ages and aptitudes of several impressive cultivators.
Basically, Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue, Wei Ge, Lin Huang, Meng Zihua, Xuan Ke, Li Futian, and the rest were of the same generation.
Based on their age, their cultivation should be a lot lower than the first level of the reincarnation realm.
The fact that their cultivation was so high meant that their aptitude was higher than normal.
"Their aptitude should range between seven and ten." Someone said and the surrounding cultivators fell silent.
"How is this possible?" Another argued but no one knew what to say.
After all, an aptitude of ten was something that rarely appeared in any world.
No matter how the spectators thought about it, it didn’t make sense that so many geniuses were born in the same generation.
"The Cangxing world is a low-level world. Logically, the world shouldn’t be able to support so many geniuses."
"What is happening with the Cangxing world?" Someone asked and frowned.
Although not in the same words, a lot of spectators were quite confused by the current appearance of the Cangxing world.
"So many geniuses in a single generation cannot appear naturally. Someone should have interfered with the destiny of the Cangxing world." Someone said with a frown on his face.
"Senior brother, what do you mean?"
"I am afraid that the situation of the Cangxing world is not as simple as we think."
