Chapter 66: Chapter 66: I’ll Wait for You in the Future (End of This Volume)

Thirty years. Not too long, but not too short either.

Enough time for a new generation to grow up.

And enough time for certain unpleasant memories to fade completely into history.

Like the war between the righteous and demonic factions, which had raged for five hundred years!

It all began thirty years ago.

When Wu Chen, the Buddha’s Son of Wuxiang Temple, stormed the Celestial Sword Grand Ceremony, defeated the nine great Priests, and fought Sect Leader Nangong, he revealed a power far surpassing the Celestial Human Realm.

From that moment on, the state of the world began to change.

A Cultivation Technique was revealed—one that allowed practitioners to break through to the Celestial Human Realm without relying on the Celestial Sword or the Blood Pool!

The insurmountable barrier that had trapped Refining Acupoints Human Immortals for five hundred years was shattered!

In the ten years that followed,

experts who had been stuck at the Refining Acupoints Human Immortal stage for most of their lives used Wu Chen’s Cultivation Technique to condense their Spirit, breaking through the Celestial Gate one after another to reach the Celestial Human Realm!

The number of Celestial Human Realm masters surged, sprouting like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

In just a decade, five or six new ones appeared.

Of course,

the strongest among them was none other than the current Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Mountain, Xu Muying!

After the Buddha’s Son, Wu Chen, stormed the Celestial Sword Grand Ceremony, the previous Sect Leader, Nangong Shuang, passed into the Nine Netherworld seven days later.

Thus, Xu Muying naturally became the Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Mountain!

And in just six short months, she broke through the Celestial Gate and reached the Celestial Human Realm.

Two years later,

the head of Celestial Sword Mountain’s Priests, Li Xu, also broke through to the Celestial Human Realm!

Only then did Xu Muying formally issue the Demon Extermination Order and begin leading the major Sects of the Central State in a new campaign to purge the Demon Cultivators from the Wilderness!

Led by two Celestial Human Realm masters, the Righteous People advanced like an unstoppable force, conquering one city in the Wilderness after another.

The Demon Cultivators suffered a total collapse and were all but annihilated!

Strangely, however,

the Demon Lord Linghu Yu and his host of Refining Acupoints Human Immortal Demon Cultivators never once appeared.

Even after the Righteous People had occupied every city in the Wilderness, there was still no sign of them!

It was as if they had vanished from the face of the earth.

Eventually,

the Righteous People, led by Xu Muying, reached the depths of the Wilderness, the location of the Blood Pool that had birthed all Demon Cultivators.

However,

the area was shrouded in a bloody mist that exuded an immense spiritual pressure!

Even Celestial Human Realm Cultivators like Xu Muying couldn’t venture deep inside.

In the end, left with no other choice,

Xu Muying could only cordon off the area for several miles around the Blood Pool, declaring it a forbidden zone!

For the next twenty-some years,

the major Sects of the Central State focused on hunting down the remaining Demon Cultivators.

At the same time, the Sects that had left the Wilderness five hundred years ago returned to their ancestral lands and began to rebuild!

But,

the forbidden zone around the Blood Pool in the depths of the Wilderness remained impenetrable, eventually passing into legend and history!

...

The thirty-first year of the Wu Chen Calendar.

The so-called Wu Chen Calendar, also known as the Celestial Martial Calendar,

was a new calendar established by the current generation of the Jianghu to commemorate the Celestial Human Realm technique created by the Buddha’s Son, Wu Chen!

It replaced the former Great Wu Calendar.

Year One of the Wu Chen Calendar was the year the Buddha’s Son, Wu Chen, went to Celestial Sword Mountain and shared his technique with the world.

At this moment, deep within the Wilderness, on the outskirts of the Blood Pool,

several Celestial Sword Mountain disciples tasked with guarding the Blood Pool stood together, chatting in low voices.

They spoke of recent events in the Jianghu.

"The Beggar Gang seems to be choosing a new Gang Leader. Ever since their Gang Leader, Su Qi, broke through to the Celestial Human Realm twenty years ago, the Beggar Gang’s prestige has been growing by the day."

"I know, right? And the Ancient Tomb Sect seems to have produced a disciple of incredible talent. She reached Bone Marrow Refining Perfection at just ten years old. It’s infuriating to even compare yourself to someone like that."

"If you ask me, Wuxiang Temple is still the strongest. By now, they should have two Celestial Human Realm masters, right? They’re almost catching up to us at Celestial Sword Mountain!"

"Well, look at whose Sect Wuxiang Temple is. The current Martial Ancestor, Wu Chen, came from there. It’s only natural that Wuxiang Temple’s status in the Jianghu would rise with him."

"That’s true. You could say that this golden age of Martial Arts was single-handedly created by Martial Ancestor Wu Chen."

"It’s a shame, though. After sharing his technique, this Martial Ancestor just vanished without a trace. There’s been no news of him for thirty years." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Do you think something might have happened to him? Remember, when we righteous factions were purging the Demon Cultivators from the Wilderness, we barely encountered a single Refining Acupoints Human Immortal. There’s a rumor that all of them, even Demon Lord Linghu Yu, were killed by the Martial Ancestor. But in the process, he was gravely wounded and perished deep in the Wilderness."

"Sigh. If that’s true, the one who’d be most heartbroken is probably our Sect Leader. It seems she’s been traveling the world all these years just to find him."

"You can’t blame her for being so dedicated. I heard from some of the old-timers in the Sect that the Martial Ancestor came to our Celestial Sword Mountain back then specifically for our Sect Leader."

"I heard that too. The Martial Ancestor and our Sect Leader explored the Wilderness together back in the day. The Jianghu called them the ’Heroic Duo’."

"Do you guys think the Martial Ancestor could be inside the forbidden zone? After all, it’s the only place in the entire Wilderness that our Sect Leader can’t enter."

"It’s possible. But if he really is in there... it’s been over thirty years. Even if he’s a Celestial Human Realm master, he would have starved to death by now!"

All the Celestial Sword Mountain disciples simultaneously turned to look behind them, toward the area shrouded in thick, bloody mist.

For several miles in every direction, the fog was so dense you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. It was impossible to make out what lay within.

Moreover, it contained an intense spiritual pressure that even Celestial Human Realm masters couldn’t penetrate.

If Martial Ancestor Wu Chen had truly died inside, it would make sense.

Just as the disciples were about to change shifts,

BUZZ!

A powerful ripple of Spirit suddenly emanated from within the Blood Pool’s forbidden zone.

Everyone was momentarily dazed.
