Chapter 216 The End of Isolated Training!

Fifteen years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Earth had undergone huge changes—it expanded in size and mountains appeared where there was once flat ground. Rare sights and mystical beasts could be found everywhere, people were no longer surprised by the sight of them.

Strange things happened from time to time as well. Someone once ate the seed of a flower and gained incredible power comparable to a Grandmaster.

Someone ate an exotic fruit and grew a pair of wings. Their feathers were as sharp as arrows and just a single one could destroy an entire mountain.

Someone inherited the power from ancient almighty beings and became a thousand times stronger than his peers within one day.

Strange things were happening on a daily basis. In a word, Earth was in its most peculiar state.

Wild beasts were roaming around and attacking humans freely.

Human also invented laser weapons for countering wild beasts specifically. Armies were guarding every city, with every important road equipped with laser weapons.

The country also recruited warriors and mutants to form the Guardians of Huaxia to protect civilians.

Emperor Ao watched everything at the top of the mountain with worry. “Earth has awoken, and the chaos has begun.” He thought.

“Can you really succeed, Chu Xun?” He muttered to himself.

People had forgotten a lot within fifteen years, including the glorious accomplishments of Chu the Devil. The Martial Tao world was now filled with the legends of many new talented warriors.

...

Chu Xun was sitting cross-legged in the valley. His eyes were shut. There was purple, sacred-looking light being emitted from his body.

Light was filled within his body as well. White light came from his True Energy and golden light was emitted from his bones and Firmament Chain. An even stronger Immortal Qi of purple color surrounded his golden bones. There were truly all kinds of colors within Chu Xun’s body.

Chu Xun’s pubic region was divided into half by the Firmament Chain. Half of it was filled with True Energy, while the other half was filled with Hong Meng Immortal Qi.

Two different sets of energy flowed within his pubic region, as if the Eight Trigrams. The only difference was that while Eight Trigrams were in black and white, the energy in his body was in purple and white.

Chu Xun opened his eyes all of a sudden. His left eye was beaming with white light while his right eye was filled with Immortal Qi of purple color. A streak of golden light was emitted from his nostrils, creating an explosive sound in the air.

There was a pile of bones next to him, which were as pure as jade and emitted sacred light. These were Chu Xun’s bones.

The skeleton of the Ancestral Dragon had disappeared. It had fused with Chu Xun’s body completely.

He spent twelve years to complete the bone changing process and spent another three years to train Hong Meng Scripture. Now he had finally made a small breakthrough.

Chu Xun was happy with his progress, because Hong Meng Scripture was a powerful and mystical scripture with no known origin. Besides Qi Refinement methods, it also contained techniques with incredible power and ancient mysteries.

“It’s time to leave this place.” Chu Xun muttered to himself. “Are my parents okay? How are Chen Hanlong and others doing?” He thought.

Boom!

The magic formation was deactivated and the mountains moved to the side. Chu Xun appeared.

Swoosh!

Emperor Ao showed up. He looked slightly excited, yet he tried to remain calm and said.

“Did you succeed?”

“I’m glad I didn’t fail what I came here to do,” Chu Xun answered with a smile.

Swoosh!

Another figure flashed in front of him like a rainbow.

Chu Xun suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock. He asked, “Are you Jiu You?”

In front of him was a young girl slightly older than ten years old. She had purple hair and fair skin, and wore a colorful dress. She looked extremely cute with her big, watery eyes. She did not wear any shoes. She stared at Chu Xun with her beautiful crystal-like eyes, blinked a little, and then nodded.

“What a pretty and cute girl.” Chu Xun was both shocked and impressed deep inside.

Chu Xun was really surprised, because Jiu You was only considered a grade-nine Grandmaster at Great Completion who had no ability to transform into a human shape.

“Is it the function of the transformation pill?” He looked to Emperor Ao and asked.

Emperor Ao nodded. Over the past years, Earth had undergone big changes and many rare items appeared. Jiu You collected all the ingredients needed for a transformation pill and asked Emperor Ao to make one for her.

“You’re so cute!” Chu Xun could not help but rub Jiu You’s purple hair.

Jiu You pouted her lips in discontent. She then raised her small hand and slapped towards Chu Xun. Her hand created jarring sounds of explosion in the air, which signified her great cultivation as a grade-nine Grandmaster at Great Completion.

Buzz!

A series of odd symbols shot out from Jiu You’s palm. Those symbols were a special technique of the demon race with terrifying destructive power.

Chu Xun’s body shook a little, and he appeared somewhere a thousand meters away from Jiu You.

Those terrifying symbols hit the body of a mountain and created a big explosion. Each symbol had the power of an armor-piercing missile. After many explosions, a mountain of a hundred meters tall was demolished to the ground.

Demonic wind enveloped Jiu You. Her small body dashed towards Chu Xun like a rainbow. She unleashed another set of symbols by simply raising her hand.

Instead of dodging those symbols, Chu Xun raised his hand and clenched gently. Those symbols were broken apart immediately.

Emperor Ao squinted his eyes in a surprised manner.

Jiu You was not happy as her attack was nullified before reaching Chu Xun, so she moved her hands around and formed more symbols.

“Are you trying to rebel against me, little thing?”

Jiu You was shocked when Chu Xun’s voice echoed by her ears. Chu Xun then pressed onto her shoulder with one hand and released a tremendous amount of strength. Jiu You became petrified, because she found out that all her cultivation was suppressed and she was unable to use any of it.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun carried Jiu You in his arms and landed in front of Emperor Ao.

“It seems that you never wasted any time in the past fifteen years,” Emperor Ao said with excitement.

Chu Xun let Jiu You out of his arm, and then rubbed her smooth purple hair again.

Discontent was written all over Jiu You’s face. She thought she can bully Chu Xun easily with her cultivation now, but in the end she was still the one being suppressed.

Emperor Ao then told Chu Xun about the changes on Earth.

Chu Xun was astonished. He then left Emperor Ao’s Purple Mansion immediately.

Chu Xun returned after about half an hour. He dragged back a giant silver leopard of about three-meter long. Judging from the leopard’s shattered bones and flat head, it must die in a terrible way.

Even though it was dead, it still emitted a faint pressure that belonged to demons. It probably had horrifying power when it was alive, until Chu Xun killed it.

Chu Xun still did not quite understand what was going on. To him, it felt like only a day had passed. He never expected Earth to change so much within mere fifteen years.

Emperor Ao once told him that he only had fifteen to twenty years. He too felt that something big was about to happen, yet he did not expect it to be so big.

“What exactly is going on?” Chu Xun asked. He thought Emperor Ao must know something that he did not.

Emperor Ao sighed. His eyes were filled with nostalgia. “Earth is awakening. The glory of the ancient times will soon be restored,” he said in a deep voice.

“What do you mean?” Chu Xun asked.

“I may as well tell you about it. One hundred million years ago, Earth was even more splendid than the world of cultivation. It was the golden era on Earth. There were hundreds of different races, and rare beasts and treasures could be found everywhere. Countless powerful warriors existed, too. There were at least a hundred of them who were at Heavenly Emperor Realm. The magnificent light of Earth once lit up the sky even in the darkest nights, thousands of other stars and planets were attracted to it...” Emperor Ao started talking with no rest. He seemed to be in deep thought.

“Have you heard of Heavenly Emperor? There were at least a hundred of them who possessed strong power comparable to Immortal Emperor. How scary is that?”

Chu Xun was taken aback. “A hundred Immortal Emperors, that’s horrifying. Even the world of cultivation had fewer than ten Immortal Emperors, including me.”

“Earth was once extremely magnificent, and it must have suffered a big disaster to be in such a bad state today.” Chu Xun thought.

“What happened next?” Chu Xun was curious to find out more.

“If Earth was so powerful in the ancient times, how did it become such a dead planet?”

Emperor Ao seemed to have suddenly woke up. He stopped his thoughts and looked at Chu Xun grimly. “You have walked your own path, Chu Xun. That means you will never lead an ordinary life. I only hope that you will always remember Earth as your home. You belong here,” he said solemnly.

Chu Xun could sense great hatred and grudge in Emperor Ao’s words, even though he said it peacefully.

Chu Xun nodded solemnly.

Emperor Ao smiled gently and the atmosphere became less uptight. He let out a mouthful of filthy energy and said with a smile. “Although you have walked a unique path, you are still too weak. Keep working hard to become stronger. The awakening of Earth has its pros and cons. What you are seeing now is only a prelude to a calamity, and the worst part is yet to come. You can only take up the upcoming challenges when you are stronger.”

“The outside world is now filled with opportunities, and you shouldn’t miss them. However, since now is the outbreak of many disastrous phenomena, many secluded powers and leaders of different sects will emerge from the dark. Those families have been putting all their effort into training their leaders to be unrivaled warriors, so you must be careful.” Emperor Ao continued talking before Chu Xun could interject.

Emperor Ao continued rambling on. His words lacked logic, as if he was picking some information to say and omitted the rest on purpose.

In the end, he told Chu Xun to send his parents and friends to him. Under his care, Chu Xun would not need to worry about them.

“That’s for the best.” Chu Xun nodded.

His mind was still filled with questions, but since Emperor Ao did not wish to reveal anything else, he decided not to ask but to slowly discover by himself. In a word, he learned that Earth was now both an exciting place and a dangerous place.

...

The transparent ice coffin emitted pure light. Chu Xun could see the love of his life clearly—she looked as if she was only in deep sleep.

“I finally made it, Little Wu. I’ve created my own path... How have you been?” Chu Xun thought in deep grief.

“Wait for me, I promise you will wake up one day...”

Chu Xun spent three days next to the ice coffin. He had been whispering his love for her every single day.

Three days later, Chu Xun bid farewell to his love and left for Qianlong Mountain to pick up his parents. At this moment, Emperor Ao’s Purple Mansion was the safest place.

Chu Xun boarded the flight to Gujiang City. This flight used to take only five hours, but now it took more than ten hours.

Earth had been growing larger day by day, so the traveling distance had become longer. However, there was no crack on the ground, as if the earth had become elastic like ramen noodles.

The sky was no longer safe now. There were often giant raptors attacking the planes, so the flights had become much less frequent as well. Each plane was also equipped with powerful thermal weapons. It was said that the trains were not only equipped with such weapons, they also paid Grandmasters to be on board to protect the passengers.

The flight had been smooth so far, luckily they did not encounter any of those scary raptors.

“Are we going to encounter one of those raptors soon? How powerful are they?” Chu Xun wondered.

The sky suddenly turned dark for a second and the plane bumped violently. The cabin soon turned chaotic and passengers were screaming in fear.

Chu Xun looked outside the window and blinked a couple of times, then he thought, “Speak of the devil! We’re really under the attack of a raptor!”

It was a silver eagle. When its wings were fully stretched, it was even bigger than the plane. Its wings covered the sun just now, that was why the sky turned dark for a moment.

Chu Xun continued observing it curiously. This silver eagle was completely white, its feathers had a chill glow around them, as if made of mithril. Its beak was like a giant iron hook that could easily tear steel apart. Its claws were even scarier, they were like a pair of giant sickles that heralded the arrival of the grim reaper.

The silver eagle dashed towards the plane. Its enormous body was extremely deterring. With a flip of its wings, a cyclone was formed in the air. It seemed that anyone falling into that cyclone would be sliced into pieces.
