Chapter 84: Top Famous Mountains Bloodstained

An old ape founded a sect, sending shockwaves across the land.

People were stunned; no place remained calm, and everyone was talking about it. The impact was truly immense!

It was an extraordinary creature, not a human, and it had incredibly occupied Mount Song to establish a sect. It was truly unbelievable!

The three words "Dalin Temple" became legendary, spreading throughout the world and remembered by everyone.

"What kind of era are we living in? With the rise of non-human entities, is humanity about to decline?!"

"For birds and beasts, this is a brilliant golden age, but for humanity, it's the greatest crisis in history!"

Some lamented, while others cried out.

The internet exploded even more, with everyone heatedly discussing the matter, and the uproar was greater than anyone could have imagined.

"There's no need to fear; humanity also has powerful evolutionaries, no weaker than the non-human entities. This is fair. With the changes in the world, human civilization might take another leap, reaching unimaginable heights. This is a great opportunity!"

Others were also full of confidence.

On this day, the three words "Dalin Temple" became known throughout the world.

As deeper investigations were made, various truths about Mount Song surfaced.

"The mutated grasses and extraordinary small trees on Mount Song were not just a mere three or five plants; that place was enough to drive extraordinary people mad!"

Someone leaked the secret.

More than one large consortium launched an attack, hoping to capture Mount Song!

Because that place was too mysterious, after the world's changes, Mount Song exhibited extraordinary phenomena: some mountain peaks emitted golden glow, some sheer cliffs grew strange trees, and in front of some temples, unusual grasses sprouted one after another.

How could these changes not tempt people?

Upon realizing this, the major consortiums' eyes turned red with greed. They dispatched a large number of experts to ascend the mountain, but unfortunately, all returned defeated.

Among them, Bodhi Gene suffered the greatest losses.

Several apes were very formidable; the old ape among them was the strongest, capable of speaking human languages and understanding human society. It possessed extraordinary abilities, making it seem incredible.

At this point, someone from Bodhi Gene stepped forward. Since the news had already leaked, they voluntarily revealed some truths.

On Mount Song, there were several Bodhi trees, incredibly divine, enveloped in a faint golden glow, and emitting a strange fragrance.

Bodhi Gene was certain that these trees were beyond imagination, much more potent than the mutated grasses and strange trees discovered so far.

Among them, a thousand-year-old Vajra Bodhi tree was even more unimaginable; rumored to be a sacred tree, its radiance illuminated everything, making the entire mountain peak appear incredibly sacred.

People finally understood why the major powers had gone mad, furiously attacking that place.

Mount Song, being so mystical, would tempt any extraordinary person. The major consortiums, all ambitious, would naturally not be content for it to fall into others' hands, so they had to contend for it.

However, they did not anticipate that the non-human entities were also so perceptive and even more formidable; an old ape defeated all parties and eventually occupied the place with its kin.

Upon learning the truth, all regions erupted.

Who wouldn't be tempted? Even those who weren't extraordinary people were moved, wishing they could immediately rush to Mount Song to seize that thousand-year-old Vajra Bodhi sacred tree. It was simply too attractive.

Even Chu Feng felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He was very surprised; although he had long known there were strange trees on Mount Song, he had not expected them to be so astonishing.

"With so many strange grasses and extraordinary trees, it's enough to drive people mad, making them unable to resist rushing into the fire like moths," someone sighed.

Even other non-human entities, upon learning the news, would probably go mad too.

But people also understood that those apes had established a firm foothold and were likely unbeatable. As several major human forces had already been defeated, who else would dare to try?

Unless the state intervened!

Instantly, many realized that the old ape speaking human language and establishing the Dalin Temple sect was a declaration to the world that it feared no challenge.

Evidently, it wanted to see the reactions of all parties.

Not long after, Bodhi Gene was the first to speak out, stating that they were giving up Mount Song and would no longer contend for it.

Even they had withdrawn, and people realized that the old ape was even more terrifying than imagined.

"All things have spirits, and all beings are equal." That day, the old ape spoke, uttering some peaceful words, stating it had no desire to harm the innocent and could coexist with humans.

At the same time, it also subtly indicated its willingness to meet with relevant high-ranking officials.

After defeating several major forces, it began to extend goodwill.

"This old ape is truly remarkable; it actually wants to enter human megacities and dares to talk with high-ranking officials," many people exclaimed in surprise.

Some consortiums were speechless; they realized that the old ape intended to "legitimize" itself and eventually, like them, become a transcendent major power.

"Soon, Dalin Temple will accept disciples, regardless of race; all who are destined may come!"

Finally, the old ape on Mount Song actually released such news, causing another sensation.

All parties were astonished; the old ape's plan was significant, and establishing Dalin Temple was truly not just talk.

Many people were tempted!

Mount Song originally had many temples, including ancient thousand-year-old monasteries.

In ancient times, that place was renowned, known as Shaolin Temple.

Now, the old ape established a sect named Dalin Temple, which carried deep meaning.

The world was restless, and people were all talking.

...

Shuntian is one of the largest cities in the country.

In the city, skyscrapers stood side by side, crowds flowed like tides on the wide streets, and stores were filled with a dazzling array of goods.

Suddenly returning to such a bustling place, Chu Feng felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

Meanwhile, just outside the city, many ancient, vast mountains stood tall. One side was incredibly prosperous, while the opposite side was like a primeval land, presenting a strange scene.

In the mountains outside the city were various fierce beasts, and even ferocious birds of prey circled overhead.

Chu Feng had seen vast uninhabited zones on his journey, and had no idea how many non-human entities he had killed. Now, entering a modernized megacity, it felt like an eternity had passed.

The contrast was too great!

He had no desire to linger; he hailed a car, wanting to see his parents as soon as possible.

Arriving at his parents' residence, they were not there; both had jobs and had not yet returned.

Clearly, order in Shuntian City was well-maintained, all industries were operating, and it was currently very stable.

He was finally back, and Chu Feng let out a long breath. He had the house keys.

Nothing had changed at home; it was still the same as before, which slightly eased his mind.

Chu Feng started browsing the internet, continuing to follow various reports about Dalin Temple. He had a premonition that this was just the beginning, and perhaps other non-human entities would also make moves.

"Dalin Temple actually has a thousand-year-old Vajra Bodhi sacred tree, a legendary item. This is a great opportunity even the Yellow Ox is thinking about," he sighed.

There were many reports about the Vajra Bodhi tree; it was rumored that as long as these Bodhi trees blossomed and bore fruit, they could rapidly promote the evolution of various creatures, with terrifying effects.

Most of the plants discovered so far could only blossom and bear fruit once.

However, the Vajra Bodhi trees of Dalin Temple on Mount Song were not like this; it was rumored they could blossom and bear fruit every year.

Especially that thousand-year-old tree, it was even more unimaginable!

If that were the case, who wouldn't be envious? Probably those major consortiums, their hearts must be bleeding.

But fortunately, there were still famous mountains and great rivers; they could contend in other battlefields and had other targets.

Chu Feng had heard Lin Naoi mention it. He searched carefully and indeed found that no place was calm, especially near those famous mountains, where it was very turbulent.

Mount Longhu, Mount Emei, Mount Putuo, Mount Zhongnan, Mount Kongtong...

These areas all showed traces of battle.

However, someone was suppressing the information, not allowing reports. Currently, there was little discussion, with only individual pieces of news leaking out.

Chu Feng could imagine that those places would surely be scenes of frenzied and incredibly bloody killing.

Mount Song had Vajra Bodhi trees, and other famous mountains, no less significant, might also harbor divine species.

Someone posted a photo online, revealing news of a terrifying battle on Wudang Mountain, and it was rumored that the cliffs there were stained red with blood.

The photo posted by that person was very blurry, vaguely showing humans and terrifying non-human entities battling on Wudang Mountain, with figures on every peak.

However, this photo was quickly deleted.

It was obvious that news about the battlefields on the famous mountains and great rivers was now being artificially suppressed and not allowed to be reported.

Chu Feng's heart was restless, feeling somewhat eager.

He thought for a moment and decided to sound out the two oxen.

"Yellow Ox, are you awake?" Chu Feng asked with a smile after dialing.

The Yellow Ox wanted to kick him. Thinking of yesterday's events, it was still annoyed; if Chu Feng were in front of it, it would have pounced on him long ago!

"Moo!"

"Are you saying you've been awake for a while and missed me a lot after not talking for a day?"

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Ox was so angry its nose almost twisted. It felt Chu Feng was both cheap and sly, with thicker skin than its own.

"Don't rush," Chu Feng said, lowering his voice and putting on an impressive demeanor. "I want to discuss something big with you, something world-shaking, what do you say?"

"Speak!" the Yellow Ox sent a text message.

"There are so many famous mountains in the world; why go to Kunlun? Let's go seize a mountain peak ourselves. What's wrong with that?" Chu Feng instigated.

The Yellow Ox mooed a few times, implying that it had wanted to do that for a long time.

"Then let's take action!" Chu Feng smiled.

The Yellow Ox sighed and sent a text message to Chu Feng, telling him that all the famous mountains were currently stained with blood, the intensity of the battles was unimaginable, and they couldn't get involved.

It explicitly stated that all parties were now fighting with bloodshot eyes, each wanting to seize a mountain peak to establish their base.

Bodhi Gene, Pre-Qin Institute, Celestial Biotech, Extraterrestrial Civilization Institute... were all at war with the non-human entities, fighting so fiercely that blood flowed like rivers, reaching a white-hot intensity.

It just wasn't being reported!

The major consortiums realized that to dominate a region in the future, they must capture a top-tier spiritual mountain, as that was the foundation for their rise!

Because the plants on top-tier spiritual mountains were too extraordinary, unimaginable.

The Yellow Ox was helpless; they were currently considered lone cultivators, isolated and weak, with no way to contend with those major forces.

"Where's Big Black?" Chu Feng asked.

"Kid, who are you calling 'Big Black'?!" The Black Ox's ears were too sharp; it heard from a distance and yelled back from over there.

Chu Feng gave a dry laugh; he actually just wanted to sound out the Black Ox.

"Boss Black, aren't you tempted?" he cautiously inquired.

The Black Ox found the address very awkward, making it sound like a gang leader. It grumbled indignantly, "You kid aren't up to any good; you want to dig for information from me, don't you?"

"What I mean is," Chu Feng offered a suggestion, "we can call all our ox brothers. For example, you can go back to Kunlun Mountain, call that Tibetan Mastiff and that large golden bird, then gather some manpower and make a big move. We can also seize a top-tier spiritual mountain."

"With Kunlun Mountain there, would they abandon the near for the far? Let me tell you, the fighting in the west is even more insane; every inch of land is stained with blood. No one will leave!" the Black Ox said.

"How about we launch a sneak attack? For example, on Dalin Temple on Mount Song. Isn't that old monkey leaving the mountain to meet human high-ranking officials? We can sneak in then and pick two baskets of Bodhi fruits..."

Hearing "Dalin Temple on Mount Song," the Black Ox gnashed its teeth and said, "That monkey is my sworn brother; I'm not going!"

Afterwards, it decisively ended the call.

Not long after, the Yellow Ox sent him a message, revealing the hidden truth: the Black Ox had secretly sneaked onto Mount Song before and was mercilessly pursued.

"He was beaten up by them and still calls them sworn brothers?" Chu Feng was almost speechless.

"Just finding an excuse to save face!" The Yellow Ox was also disdainful.

However, it soon let out a miserable cry and the connection was cut, because the Black Ox had discovered its little maneuver and immediately gave it a good beating.

Chu Feng put down the communicator and pondered for a moment. He certainly wasn't crazy enough to want to attack a top-tier spiritual mountain; he just wanted to get information from the Black Ox.

It seemed peaceful now, but in reality, all the famous mountains were stained with blood; the battles were fierce and terrifying!

"I wonder how Naoi is doing; she must be having a tough time now, right?" Chu Feng frowned.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. He quickly stood up; it must be his parents returning.
