Chapter 110: Explosion Era

The seven famous mountains have been seized, creating a terrifying new power dynamic that has shocked both domestic and international communities.

This is incredibly impactful for humanity!

How much time has passed since the world began to change? Everything is different now, vastly altered from human society and life as it once was.

As eras shift, when people eventually look back, what unique place will this period hold in history?

Within a single day, various explosive reports spread far and wide.

Both in reality and online, the world was in an uproar!

"A golden-winged Great Peng King, completely golden, has appeared and established a sect on Mount Hua. It sounds like a myth; have I traveled back to prehistoric times?!"

"The old ape from Dalin Temple, the white crane from Shu Mountain Sword Palace, the mountain turtle from Kongtong Mountain, and the golden-winged Great Peng from Mount Hua are all recruiting disciples, teaching without discrimination. It's profoundly shocking!"

These revelations ignited the entire world!

People found it hard to believe that mutated creatures had become peerless masters; it seemed too absurd, yet it was the reality.

"One day, when birds and beasts possess intelligence no less than that of humans, you must either adapt yourself or seek change," sighed an old biologist.

Everyone, in every field, felt a profound impact!

Over the next two days, no region remained calm. This event's impact was simply too immense, even though people had already accepted the reality of the world's changes.

"All beings are equal; may all races coexist peacefully!" At Dalin Temple, the old ape stood before the ancient thousand-year-old temple, hands clasped, resembling an enlightened holy monk.

Photos and videos of this were circulated, showing that humans had already become its disciples.

Subsequently, the white crane from Shu Mountain Sword Palace, the Golden-winged Great Peng King from Mount Hua, and the mountain turtle from Kongtong Mountain also expressed similar sentiments.

Whether sincere or having ulterior motives, at the very least, the territories they controlled became relatively peaceful, making them places of aspiration for many.

While other regions saw beast kings still vying for dominance, these rare havens, like pure lands, were naturally very appealing.

Furthermore, these places were recruiting disciples, offering the chance to learn mysterious ancient methods and gradually grow stronger. How could one not be tempted?

The mysterious figure's slaying of the Cyan Wolf King had spurred a great resurgence of ancient martial arts. Now, with the emergence of seven major sects, people had a more direct option: they could join these mountain gates!

"Chu Feng, where are you? Come quickly, let's discuss something!"

"Madman, I'm telling you, I want to go to Shu Mountain. I've always longed to be a sword immortal. Who would have thought the world would change so much that real sword immortals would emerge!"

Over these two days, various people, including childhood friends, high school buddies, and college acquaintances, sought out Chu Feng. Even they couldn't remain calm.

Chu Feng was stunned. Even those close to him were tempted to travel far, which truly surprised him.

While it was mainly the more active individuals who contacted him, it was enough to show the immense impact of this event!

Online, discussions were already in full swing.

"I'm going to Dalin Temple! There's a thousand-year-old temple, ancient scriptures, and the unparalleled Vajra Bodhi Sacred Tree that can induce mutation! Moreover, in ancient times, it was the premier martial arts holy land!" someone posted, clearly expressing their excitement.

Mount Song originally had an ancient temple, a secret Buddhist site. Now, with an old ape capable of reciting ancient scriptures and being the first to establish a sect, it truly became a place of longing for many.

"I want to go to Shu Mountain and learn the Way of the Sword Immortal! With a single sword strike, enemies' heads can be taken from a thousand miles away—who could contend with that? Traversing the world on a sword, what boundless freedom that would be!"

The discussion around this post was even more astonishing. The idea of a sword immortal, a dream for countless people, was simply too alluring for ordinary individuals.

"Kongtong Mountain isn't bad either. A mountain turtle there carries the Primordial Bagua on its back, and it claims to possess ancient Kongtong methods. Even the Yellow Emperor sought guidance there in ancient times, so it must be extraordinary!"

While such posts were made, the discussion wasn't as heated. Relatively speaking, the Kongtong Sect, led by the mountain turtle, wasn't as appealing as Dalin Temple or Shu Mountain Sword Palace.

"Mount Hua is the ideal martial arts holy land! Have you heard that the Golden-winged Great Peng King's power is unparalleled? It swept aside other beast kings and conquered Mount Hua with irresistible might!"

"Have you all forgotten Mount Wudang? That's the only famous mountain occupied by human experts! We must go there!"

Someone lamented, urging others to head to Mount Wudang and join the Tai Chi lineage, as that was the suitable place for humans.

"Exactly, we should definitely go to Mount Wudang!" Many responded, posting messages of support.

In reality, anyone living near these famous mountains had already begun to move, creating a massive wave of people seeking to become disciples.

Many more, however, felt helpless envy. The distances were simply too great to travel, and only locals could reach these famous mountains.

Inside Jade Void Palace, Lu Tong was incredibly excited, muttering to himself, "It's finally taken! Forcibly driving away those beast kings, this is wonderful!"

Two days prior, he had told Chu Feng that the master of Biyou Palace was about to conquer a famous mountain, which would surely boost human morale. That day had finally arrived.

At noon that day, the world was once again stunned by explosive news.

The master of Biyou Palace, a human peerless expert, powerfully ascended Mount Wangwu, defeating various beast kings, nearly killing two on the spot, and successfully seizing the famous mountain.

This caused a tremendous sensation!

In recent days, many had gradually heard that Eight Sceneries Palace, Jade Void Palace, and Biyou Palace were the three extraordinary organizations established by the state.

These corresponded to the three mythological titans!

Today, the master of Biyou Palace had acted decisively and with great power, capturing Mount Wangwu. How could this not cause a sensation?

Even people abroad were astonished!

Mount Wangwu held an extremely special status; according to ancient texts, it ranked first among the Ten Great Daoist Grotto-heavens, making it supremely transcendent.

"This is a targeted attack!"

People realized that the Biyou Palace master's choice to act on Mount Wangwu must have been due to its special mythological background.

"The foremost grotto-heaven in the world has actually been conquered!"

"This is truly great news; human experts have finally made their move!"

"The master of Jade Void Palace is attacking the Fengchan Land, and it's said they already hold the advantage and will secure it sooner or later!"

Such astonishing news was indeed incredibly inspiring and deterred mutated creatures worldwide.

Especially considering there was also the Eight Sceneries Palace, which would likely conquer another famous mountain, people grew even more joyful and excited.

If everything went smoothly, humanity would soon control three or four famous mountains, truly a monumental achievement.

That day, mutated creatures everywhere became quiet. Even where beast kings were still warring, few mutated creatures bothered to harass human settlements.

Earlier, many had felt panic and constantly worried that the world would be dominated by the rising mutated creatures.

Who would have thought that in just two days, the situation would dramatically change, and humanity would suddenly appear to become stronger?

Similar events were also occurring abroad.

For example, in India, an ancient yoga master evolved, and with invincible might, successfully subdued a beast king, establishing dominance over an entire region.

Chu Feng had heard too much news these past two days. Though his heart was stirred, his life remained peaceful.

He met with childhood friends, high school buddies, and others, dining and chatting together, quite leisurely.

Du Huaijin, Ye Qingrou, Ouyang Qing, and Chen Luoyan returned. During a small gathering, they told Chu Feng two astonishing pieces of news.

"Boss, that secret passage really exists, it's incredible!" said Du Huaijin, whose nickname was "Thousand-Mile Eyes."

After passing through a misty gorge in Europe, one could directly reach the Shu region, with the exit close to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau!

Chu Feng was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Having such a secret passage connecting East and West was good if used properly, but could lead to major disaster if not!

For instance, if the black dragon currently wreaking havoc in the West were to use that secret passage to come over, the situation would certainly be grim.

"Recently, those beast kings haven't had time to massacre cities in the West. They've gone mad, besieging a single location," Ye Qingrou said, revealing another major piece of news.

"Where?" Chu Feng wondered.

Recent news reports from the West had continuously highlighted the brutality of the black dragon, the two-headed dog king, and others, constantly slaughtering and seemingly unstoppable for a time.

Was there some truth being concealed, not reported?

"All the major beast kings have gathered and surrounded the Vatican!" they informed him.

Chu Feng's expression froze upon hearing this. That place indeed had significant origins. What exactly was there?

"There's a sacred medicinal garden! Although the area isn't large, its medicinal fragrance soars to the heavens, and holy light illuminates everything—it's terrifying!" Even Chen Luoyan, who rarely spoke much, exclaimed in awe.

This was the information they had obtained while interrogating the Western European extraordinary beings on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

"So extraordinary?" Chu Feng's heart was shaken.

Ye Qingrou nodded, saying, "It's even more astonishing than you imagine. Although the Vatican isn't large, it's incredibly formidable. None of the major beast kings have been able to breach it; they've all been thwarted!"

"Why?" Chu Feng asked, astonished.

"In that sacred medicinal garden, living beings are growing out of the soil, emitting a divine radiance—it's unimaginable!" Chen Luoyan explained.

When they first heard this news, they found it absurd. However, the extraordinary beings from Western Europe swore they weren't lying and that everything was true.

"How astounding! Can seeds really grow into living creatures?" Chu Feng was deeply moved.

That very evening, Chu Feng was convinced that what the others said was true, because Yellow Ox and the others contacted him from Kunlun Mountain, confirming the matter.

"Chu Feng, want to go for a big score?" Yellow Ox invited him to join.

"Where to?" Chu Feng asked.

The large black ox leaned towards the screen, baring its big white teeth, and said, "One of my sworn brothers recently went to Europe and is currently besieging the Vatican with a group of companions. Kid, even though you're still weak, if you want to come, I'll count you in. Coming? Let's make a big haul!"

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. This large black ox was indeed no benevolent creature; the people it associated with were too fierce. He couldn't believe one of its sworn brothers was involved in the Vatican incident.

At the same time, he realized they must be truly short-handed over there; otherwise, why would they call him? After all, he couldn't yet compare to a beast king.

"Let me tell you, that place is astonishing! It's a sacred medicinal garden, with divine pollen filling the air, and its fragrance enveloping the entire Vatican, though it's unfortunately blocked by a barrier. If you could really get in, you'd directly break through and be on par with all the beast kings. You know, the White Elephant King of India, the Silver Wolf King of Mongolia... and a bunch of old guys from Kunlun Mountain have all rushed over. If you're late, you won't get anything."

"Boss Black, I think I'll pass for now. It won't be too late to go once I've broken through and become a master of the shackles realm," Chu Feng said, resisting the temptation.

With so many old monsters having rushed there, if he went, he'd probably just be cannon fodder.

Clearly, the Vatican wasn't easy to breach; otherwise, why would the beast kings be calling for friends? They would have already charged in alone. He didn't have high hopes for that place.

Furthermore, Chu Feng advised them, saying, "Yellow Ox, Boss Black, the decisive battle at the Fengchan Land is approaching. Are you interested in coming to help out? It's better than risking it at the Vatican!"

The large black ox gasped, "The Fengchan Land is a meat grinder, more suitable for humans, not for us. And it won't be any safer than the Vatican. I'm not going!"

Finally, Yellow Ox told Chu Feng they would act separately: they would go West first, while he stayed in the East. Then, if they all became beast kings, they would embark on a journey across the sea.

"To the sea?"

"Yes, some good things in the sea are gradually emerging. When the time comes, we'll go there and try our luck!"

After the video call ended, Chu Feng remained silent for a long time.

In these past few days, too many events had occurred, all incredibly astonishing. This was truly an era of information explosion, where every single event was sensational.

"Chu Feng, our movie is about to be released. The preliminary title is 'Great Sage Niu Mo.' Although there are some competitors, they are nothing to worry about."

Zhou Yitian informed Chu Feng that the movie was coming out, intended to boost people's morale.

Chu Feng was dumbfounded upon hearing this. How had it passed censorship? He felt utterly fried, fearing the release of this film and immediately feeling distressed.

Soon after, someone else called him from an unfamiliar number. He listlessly answered, "Who is this?"

A pleasant voice came from the other end of the communicator, greeting him with a laugh. It was Jiang Luoshen, inviting him to dinner.
