Chapter 221 - Mount Meru (1/2)
Chapter 221: Mount Meru
Ding Ling’er’s eyes gleamed. “Exactly, Mount Meru!” She gave Yunxiao a meaningful look and said, “Since Young Master Yun knows about the Heaven Library Realm, you naturally know about this Mount Meru, right?”
Yunxiao’s face flickered. He took a few sips of tea in a row and felt refreshed, before slowly speaking, “It is one of the five wonderlands in the Heavenly Martial Realm. Legend has it that it was produced by gathering the essence and the Spirit Qi of a world. It is a wonderland that all warriors dream of.”
“Oh? So Young Master Yun also thinks Mount Meru was formed spontaneously?”
Yunxiao gave her a look as he stood up and paced back and forth in the hall while saying, “I don’t believe it was created by people of ancient times. But, there are, in fact, many human traces inside. I suspect that the so-called five wonderlands are just five sects of the ancient times. It’s just that as time passed, they declined and eventually died, and then the five spaces drifted in the void until they gradually became stable and formed the so-called five wonderlands.”
With an approving look, Ding Ling’er said softly, “Young Master Yun’s knowledge is indeed extraordinary. I’m afraid few in the entire South have the same view as you. However, a few years ago, I attended a high-level meeting of the Commerce Alliance with my father, and the result of their discussion about the five wonderlands turned out to be exactly the same as yours.”
Yunxiao smiled and said nothing. It was already the common view of those superpowers on the Heavenly Martial Continent about the wonderlands.
“Then, does Young Master Yun know that Mount Meru is about to open?”
“What!” Yunxiao trembled, and his eyes burst with a gleam. It was hard to tell if he were excited or shocked. “Mount Meru is about to open? Is your information true?” he cried out.
A feeling of triumph suddenly developed in Ding Ling’er’s heart. Since she knew this guy, she had never seen him surprised. This was the first time, and it gave her a sense of accomplishment.
“No one can figure out the timing of the opening of the five wonderlands, but there will be certain signs before opening. In order not to miss each opening, the three empires of the South have each hired people to refine a Celestial Globe to monitor the activities of the southern space. According to the common monitoring results of the three empires, Mount Meru will descend and open in three months at the latest or one month at the earliest. And this time, it will most likely open in Firecrow Empire.”
With an incredulous look, Yunxiao said, “I can’t believe Mount Meru is about to descend. I think the whole continent is about to shake, right?”
Ding Ling’er nodded and said, “Yes. By now, the news has spread all over the continent. The superpowers of the other three regions are all trying to squeeze in and get a piece of the cake. Legend has it that in the five wonderlands are countless precious plants and minerals, almost corporeal Spirit Qi, and elite magic weapons and heaven-defying cultivation techniques passed down from the ancient times. Every time a wonderland opens, a group of peerless figures will be created. The present famous experts on the continent are all existences who had visited various wonderlands and obtained countless benefits.”
Yunxiao could not agree more to that. It was in the Heaven Library Realm that he found his eye technique. If it weren’t for this fated chance, he would not have been able to rank third on the Heaven and Earth Power Chart later.
“According to the iron rules of the Holy Realm, the powers of the other three regions are not allowed to interfere in the region where the wonderland descends. This is undoubtedly a great protection for the South. Otherwise, the sects in the South will not be able to get even a seat.”
Ding Ling’er glanced at Yunxiao, who was dazed, and said, “What do you think of the news, Young Master Yun?”
Her question woke Yunxiao from his daze. Gradually, his eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, “Since Mount Meru is about to open, of course, the people of the South have to take our share of the cake! I was wondering why those aristocratic families of Firecrow Empire tolerated my actions. So, it turns out that they want no trouble because Mount Meru is about to open. Haha! Had I known, I would have done more!”
Ding Ling’er was speechless. “What more do you want to do, when you have already wiped out the whole Xingyang family? If you push it too far, those guys in the Temple of Revered Elders will kill you regardless of consequences.”
Yunxiao seemed to be in a good mood. “Ling’er, you did not ask me to be here to just tell me this news, did you?”
Ding Ling’er laughed. “This is only the premise. Young Master Yun, you should know every wonderland has different strange restrictions, and Mount Meru has a restriction on warriors’ ages. Those who are over fifty years old, even just one day, cannot enter. Therefore, among the five wonderlands, Mount Meru is the least attractive. Otherwise, even with the Holy Realm’s iron roles, those superpowers will still squeeze in by force, regardless of the price they have to pay.”
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she said, “In other words, those who can enter Mount Meru are all young people. In the South, those so-called geniuses of various major sects who are below fifty years old have cultivated to Martial Kings or Martial Grandmasters at the most. The probability of seeing Martial Emperors is very low. My Tianyuan Trading Company can get two places, and I hope Young Master Yun will come with me.”
