Chapter 897 - 291: Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms (Part 4)

"It seems that Yangnao Land will become the forty-first small world transformed into a Dao Source Secret Realm."

"Among those Dao Source Secret Realms, there are mutual attacks and devouring; many Dao Source Secret Realms’ traditions have been completely annihilated."

With a bitter smile and shaking her head, Zhou Xuan sighed, "As such, perhaps in a few thousand years, the inheritance of the Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms will have been nearly wiped out."

Her words led to a moment of silence among the people on the Treasure Ship.

"Earlier, did the senior say that one could break through by leaving the Cangmin Sea Region?" In front, Wu Yuning suddenly spoke in confusion, "Why don’t those Nascent Soul Perfection Realm seniors leave the Cangming Sea Region to seek chances in the wider world outside?"

Zhou Xuan shook her head.

"Whether due to that terrifying battle or some other supreme being’s contingency, the entire Cangmin Sea Region is shrouded in a dreadful chaotic flow."

"Over countless years, occasionally some strong figures unwilling to be confined in Dao Source Secret Realms have tried to venture out."

"But without exception, they have all failed."

"My master also arose with the desire to go out at the time, but... can you guess what he found?"

Shen Chongzhen and others all shook their heads, while some impatient young cultivators of the Shen Family scratched their heads urging Zhou Xuan to speak quickly.

"Corpses..."

Zhou Xuan stated somberly, "When my master arrived at the edge of the chaotic flow, he found numerous corpses floating amidst the terrifying chaotic flow!"

"These corpses belonged to formidable figures who, during their lifetimes, were renowned throughout the Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms."

"Among those senior figures, perhaps someone truly managed to leave; it’s just that we don’t know."

"But the densely packed corpses within the chaotic flow do indeed exist, and whoever witnesses all this firsthand might become so terrified that they wouldn’t dare cross the Thunder Pool step."

Zhou Xuan’s understanding of these secrets of the Cangmin Sea Region indirectly demonstrated the power of the Ice God Palace.

However, discussing such heavy topics plunged everyone, including herself, into silence.

This silence lasted until the Void Treasure Ship arrived at Yunshui City.

At the bow of the ship, even though Xu Zhan split some of his Divine Sense to control the Treasure Ship, he heard Zhou Xuan’s words.

"Alright, you youngsters haven’t even reached the Golden Core Realm, thinking that far ahead would only add to your worries."

"An ancestor once said, ’The boat naturally straightens when it reaches the bridgehead.’"

"By the time you reach the Nascent Soul True Monarch Perfection Realm, perhaps someone will have already found a way to leave the Cangmin Sea Region."

"Yunshui City has arrived; all of you should disembark."

After mildly comforting everyone, Xu Zhan maneuvered the Void Treasure Ship to descend from the sky.

The younger generations suppressed their thoughts, quickly jumping off the Treasure Ship.

"Please, Fellow Daoist."

After the other younger ones each returned home, Xu Zhan, along with Shen Chongzhen, led Zhou Xuan to the old residence’s side room.

Inside the side room, Shen Chongming was discussing with Shen Li how to find the Outer World Cultivators skilled in the techniques of moving mountains and filling seas.

Xu Zhan and Shen Chongzhen brought Zhou Xuan inside.

"Brother, Sister Li’Er."

"Brother Ming, Sister Li’Er."

After the two saluted with cupped fists, Xu Zhan immediately introduced Zhou Xuan’s identity.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming and Shen Li hurriedly saluted with cupped fists.

Zhou Xuan returned the salute and then examined the two in surprise.

Being a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm, she could vaguely sense that Shen Chongming and Shen Li were not much older than herself, yet their cultivation level was already at the Golden Core Realm.

She was younger and had a higher cultivation level than them, thanks to the Ice God Palace’s vast resources.

While the Shen Family’s Yunshui City, the City Defense Array was merely a frail Water Element Array capable of barely resisting a Golden Core strike, its foundation far inferior to the Ice God Palace.

"It seems that the old senior didn’t deceive me after all."

"Perhaps when the time comes, my Ice God Palace can indeed cooperate with the Shen Family."

Upon exchanging formal greetings, Zhou Xuan took her seat.

Xu Zhan said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou doesn’t have a place to stay at Yangnao Land for the moment, so I took the liberty of inviting her to temporarily reside in Yunshui City. I hope you won’t mind, Brother."

Shen Chongming glared at him briefly and then said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is a highly cultivated guest from the Upper Sect; having her visit Yunshui City is an honor for my Shen Family..."

Hearing him, Zhou Xuan blushed slightly and repeatedly cupped her fists, saying, "Patriarch Shen, please don’t say that; it’s quite embarrassing..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Li suddenly looked at her and cupped her fists, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has come at the perfect time. My brother and I have a matter we wish to consult with you. I wonder if..."

Zhou Xuan was inherently a warm-hearted person, so upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Please speak freely, Fellow Daoist."

Shen Li nodded and said, "Do you have any knowledge about techniques related to moving mountains and filling seas, Fellow Daoist?"

Shen Xiubai wanted to relocate Hidden Dragon Mountain to the Five Elements Secret Realm, but the techniques capable of moving mountains and filling seas were hard to find.

When Shen Chongming informed her of this, she specifically contacted the two from the Cyan Moon Dao Sect she encountered last time in Flame Lake City. It was apparent that Ning Zhen and the other person didn’t possess such techniques either.

"Techniques for moving mountains and filling seas?" Zhou Xuan slightly frowned and asked curiously, "How large are the mountain ranges?"

Shen Li turned to look at Shen Chongming.

Shen Chongming cupped his fists and said, "To be honest, the Dao of Yangnao Land is on the brink of collapse. My Shen Family has lived on this Hidden Dragon Mountain for hundreds of years; it is hard to part with the homeland, and the elderly in the family wish to relocate this Hidden Dragon Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

While the Void Treasure Ship lingered in the skies above Yunshui City, she briefly scanned the mountain range around Yunshui City.

Now hearing Shen Chongming say that the Shen Family intends to relocate this mountain range stretching thousands of miles all because of "attachment to the homeland," it left her somewhat bewildered.

"To be honest, certain relocation techniques can accomplish the moving of a single mountain peak."
