Chapter 195 - Stuff of Legends (2/2)

With the clan taken out of the picture, the threat was defused once and for all.

However, another news that shook the entire world of cultivation came mere days later. The news was severe enough to completely overshadow the news of the Luo Clan’s demise.

An island was detected by satellites of various nations at the eastern sea.

The island was never seen before, and the mass of land never appeared on any nautical charts. It was as if the island just popped out of nowhere on the eastern sea.

That would not have been much of anything to pay attention to if that was all there were to it. What was so astonishing about the place was how some fishermen chanced upon the island by accident. When they emerged, all of them became a lot stronger and had their powers awakened.

The news caught the attention of governments of all nations before long.

All of the government authorities seemed to be keen on simply putting a lockdown on the news altogether.

However, the news managed to make it to the dark web in a single night.

The reason why the governments shut down all news regarding the island was due to having found great secrets on that island.

That island actually one of the three sacred mountains of Huaxian legend—Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang.

It was worth noting that those three mountains were found very often in Huaxian myths and legends. In actuality, however, the mountains simply remained as the stuff of myths and legends because no one actually knew where those mountains were.

It was often said that it was in the coastal regions were where those mountains were, yet there had been no proof supporting such claims thus far.

The news seen on the dark web was more than enough to prove that the island that just appeared mysteriously out of nowhere was the Penglai Island told in legends.

The emergence of that one island should not have caused the cultivators to spiral into a frenzy. As Spirit Qi was being restored to the world, there were some places that everyone thought to simply be the stuff of legends, gradually emerging one after another.

The emergence of Penglai Island should not have been a big deal.

However, there was yet another news of greater importance seen on the dark web. An extremely mystical peach tree was found on Penglai Island, which many suspected to be the tree bearing the peaches of Immortality.

The news caused a huge commotion as soon as it broke out.

The Peach Tree of Immortality was comparatively renowned among the cultivators of the world. It was especially so among the cultivators from East Asia.

Everyone knew of that divine tree told in legends.

The peaches from that divine tree were even told of in legends, able to bestow immortality just from sniffing it.

Even if the real fruits were far less extraordinary than how the legends had it, even if the fruits were only to be one percent or even 0.1 percent as extraordinary, it was still deemed surreal, nonetheless.

There were some who claimed that if that tree were truly the Peach Tree of Immortality, then the peaches would have at least been able to boost cultivation by another order of magnitude, enabling one to break through the limits placed by the world itself.

The claim was an opinion shared by a good number of Invincible Vajras. Everyone knew just how severe the limit was for all cultivators in the world, after all.

With the last Spiritual Tide having taken place not all that long ago, no one knew when the next one would come.

A good many wracked their brains just to progress further with cultivation before the next tide hit, and yet results proved limited at best.

However, things were different with the emergence of such a tree. If one were to be able to get their hands on the tree, they might have stood a chance of breaking through such a limit, reaching the next level before the limit was broken further.

Doing so would probably make said cultivator truly invincible, an undisputable champion among all cultivators in the world.

It was time that shook the entire world of cultivation.

A good number of fighters gathered at the eastern sea, and there were even fighters from foreign countries as well.
