Chapter 814: Chapter 47 Jiuli Tomb Guard [Combined]_2

Among the many treasures of the Jiuli that exist in the Mortal Realm, the largest secret realm was a small world he had created himself, referred to as the "Supreme God’s Legacy" by Elder Tan.

In preparation for this, he made ready for a grand war, in which the Evil God took all of the Jiuli Tribe Members to participate in the battle. Only an Iron Eating Beast and the most loyal lineage of the Human Clan were left behind in the small world to guard the Secret Realm for him.

This war, the Evil God never returned.

All of the Jiuli Tribe Members, without exception, perished.

"Who was his opponent?" Chu Liang could not help but ask when he heard this.

"I don’t know," Elder Tan shook his head, "Our ancestor didn’t pass down anything about that battle, only that the Jiuli Supreme God called it the ’Ascension War’."

"Ascension War?" Chu Liang murmured to himself.

It sounded similar to what he had seen in the Dragon God Secret Realm and the Southern Sea Ruins before, where the Ninth Realm Gods sought ascension and then perished?

Could there still be those mysterious Taoists involved?

"So it seems the legend of the Heaven-sent Mountain defeating the Evil God is indeed false," said Chu Liang.

"Some of it might be true," Elder Tan continued, "There was no Zhennan Region’s Mountain before in this world, but it appeared in the Southern Region after the Ascension War."

The truth and falsity of legends are hard to distinguish. In any case, since then, the Tan Family as the Guardians of the Tomb, and the Iron Eating Beast as the guardian, have been living within the Supreme God’s Legacy, quietly awaiting the return of the Supreme God. They have lived in seclusion, self-sufficient, and rarely leave the Secret Realm.

Until the day before yesterday, a mysterious Taoist suddenly broke in.

"He called us followers of the Evil God and wanted to venture deep into the Legacy, so we battled with him," said Elder Tan.

The Tan Family was originally a major clan, and over the long years, they had produced many descendants within the Supreme God’s Legacy. The population inside was now as large as some small Island Countries in the Eastern Sea. Moreover, every individual was a cultivator, and overall their strength was formidable.

But that mysterious Taoist, with just a gesture, caused the heavens to split and the earth to shatter, the mountains and seas crumbled, and all living beings within the Secret Realm faced extinction. Elder Tan, as the strongest in his family, tried to resist the aftershock of that single gesture and ended up grievously injured like this.

It was only through the wit of the little Iron Eating Beast that he was carried out of the Secret Realm, fleeing all the way. The Supreme God’s Legacy was located in the Zhennan Region, not far from Shu Mountain. Man and beast fled to the foot of Shu Mountain, only daring to stop because they were shrouded by the Cloud Sea.

But by this time, Elder Tan was already on his last breath.

The Iron Eating Beast then stole Spiritual Medicine to save his life.

Though Elder Tan now lays weak, a look at his vigor and bones clearly shows he is a cultivator from the Seventh Realm. If the mysterious Taoist could inflict such damage with a single gesture, could he possibly be a powerful being from the Eighth Realm?

If that’s the case, the treasures within that Secret Realm have likely been claimed by someone else first.

In his disappointment, Chu Liang glanced at the Iron Eating Beast beside him and said, "It really is a Jiuli... was it the Supreme God’s own mount back in the day?"

"Of course!" The elder looked at the small creature beside him, his eyes full of pride, "The Iron Eating Beast, slayer of Real Dragons, battler of Divine Phoenixes, unafraid of Kunpeng, is one of the most formidable ancient beasts in the world!"

Seemingly to back up his claim, the Iron Eating Beast stretched its claws, displaying thick paw pads, while sticking out its tongue as if to make a very "ferocious" expression.

"..." Elder Tan paused, then said, "It’s just that after many years without battling, the Iron Eating Beast’s ferocity has degraded a bit."

"A bit?" Chu Liang couldn’t help but ask a soul-piercing question, "Never mind anything else, but if you now threw it alone in the wilderness, could it hunt for meat by itself?"

"Alas," Elder Tan sighed again, "I’m afraid not."

...

Hearing Elder Tan’s background, although they might be considered followers of the Evil God, that was affairs of untold years past. And the Tan Clan, the Jiuli tomb guards, had been living in complete isolation, not to mention doing any wrongdoing.

In that case, he couldn’t be considered a bad person.

So Chu Liang first took Elder Tan and the Iron Eating Beast back to Shu Mountain, procured Spiritual Medicine to treat his wounds, and saved his life before anything else.

While browsing through the circle of immortal friends, another explosive piece of news caught his eye.

The dispute between Yu Mountain Academy and War Mausoleum Mountain was intensifying, and although War Mausoleum Mountain hadn’t gained any advantage, their repeated harassments left Yu Mountain Academy unable to find peace.

The Academy and Sects are ultimately different; the Academy is a place that requires tranquility for reading, and constant fighting means no lessons can be conducted. For the ruffians of War Mausoleum Mountain, fighting is considered class.

In this regard, they did have a natural disadvantage.

To settle the dispute between the two parties, Minister Zhang went to War Mausoleum Mountain’s gate alone with a challenge letter in hand.

He had actually challenged the mountain lord, Qiu Fenglie, of War Mausoleum Mountain!

The contents of the challenge stated that the two sides would engage in a duel on the platform ten days from now. The loser would forfeit their candidacy for the Ten Grounds Selection. Regardless of victory or defeat, the dispute would be settled henceforth.

When they saw this letter, the braves of War Mausoleum Mountain were astonished, both for his cultivation and his courage.

Minister Zhang had actually broken through Heaven’s Gate and reached the phase of Wen Dao. Although the news was startling, it was nothing compared to him challenging the mountain lord of War Mausoleum Mountain.

Even if you have reached the Seventh Realm, that mountain lord is a renowned Wen Dao peak figure who has been known for many years. You, a young prodigy who has just stepped into the Seventh Realm, on what grounds do you believe you can defeat a famous cultivator who has been tested over many years?
