Chapter 1123: The Four Venerables’ Shock

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The triumphant singing had long been ringing in the Grand Myriad Mountains.

Han Fei and the others enjoyed the scenery along the way.

When they were about to reach the Beast King City, the Mountain Giant suddenly stopped in an empty valley where several Mountain Giants were already standing.

Then, they saw the Mountain Giant suddenly sit down. Some of the Mountain Giants lay down, while others leaned against the mountain.

When the Mountain Giant did not move, a large number of spiritual plants immediately crawled onto their bodies. In just a moment, these Mountain Giants seemed to have become a part of the mountain range.

The Giant King suddenly appeared beside Han Fei and explained, “The larger the body, the more energy it needs. In addition to eating, spiritual plants can also absorb energy from the earth and send it to the Mountain Giants. So, this is their way of survival.. If the earth collapses, the Mountain Giant can only survive in the sea, but at that time, the sea clan will not allow them to live.”

Han Fei didn’t feel anything. He didn’t care about that now.

But Ximen Linglan felt that it was very novel. As expected, in the boundless universe, different creatures had different ways of survival.

The Giant King looked at Han Fei. “I’ll take you to the capital.”

Han Fei looked at the Mountain Giant. “Goodbye.”

Ximen Linglan shouted into the Mountain Giant’s ear, “Thank you for bringing us back.”

The Mountain Giant wanted to laugh.

However, that grin only lasted for a moment before he shut up.

“See you again!”

Before Han Fei and Ximen Linglan could react, their vision blurred.

In a flash, the two of them appeared on the altar of the War Giant Tribe from the shoulder of the Mountain Giant.

By now, some of the war giants had returned and were running around happily, telling everyone that they had won.

A giant was carrying a small giant and bragging. “Your father, I, killed at least 100 lobsters this time and brought back meat.”

The little giant kicked at the giant’s chest, producing thumping sounds.

Someone shouted loudly, “This time, I almost fell into the sea. It’s all thanks to that human priest. What’s his name again, Wang…”

“Wang Han.”

A child reminded him.

That giant said with a buzz, “Yes, it’s him, what a strange name. This human priest is really powerful. Not only did he save me, he also saved a mountain giant.”

“Wah! How? How?”

A child followed the person and asked.

That person laughed loudly. “That scene is really exciting. At that moment, the Mountain Giant is fighting with the Three-Headed Dragon Python…”

The entire war giants’ territory was noisy.

Some were bragging about their achievements, some were telling stories, some were talking about their bravery, some were eating meat, and there was even the frolicking sound of children.

When the Giant King suddenly appeared on the altar, someone exclaimed, “The King is back!”

“King! I heard that you killed a powerful sea demon.”

“King, I heard that you alone pierced through the entire sea.”

“King, I want to sleep with you tonight…”

Han Fei could clearly feel the Giant King’s face trembling. He scratched his head. Isn’t it normal to sleep together? Why is the Giant King shaking?

“Roar!”

The giant king shouted, “The Grand Myriad Mountains have won this battle. Children, let’s celebrate! Bring out all the good food and drinks. All the leaders organize some people and go into the sea to take back the marine creatures’ bodies as food. Those were all killed by our people. It would be a pity if we don’t eat them.”

“Roar! Our king is mighty!”

“My king is invincible.”

“Will you stay tonight, King?”

The Giant King hurriedly said, “Alright, Priest, come here for a while. Today, This King has something to say to the human boy and girl. Eat by yourselves and have fun.”

With that, the Giant King waved his hand and brought Han Fei and Ximen Linglan to the huge palace.

The capital city of the giants was built along cliffs. It was rather grand. In the city, there was a large platform square that protruded out of the mountain. Standing at the end of the square, one could see the altar.

Ximen Linglan pondered. With the Giant King’s strength, as long as he stood at the end of this platform, he would be able to speak to the entire clan. With tens of thousands of people kneeling, how grand it would be!

At this moment, the Giant King called out, “Humans, the people of the war giant tribe are simple and unadorned. We will not have so many twists and turns like you humans. This King ask you first. Are you representing humans?”

Ximen Linglan hurriedly replied, “No, Senior. We don’t represent anyone. It’s just that Wang Han wanted to come, so we came.”

The Giant King laughed loudly. “That’s good. There’s nothing much to say about the relationship between the Grand Myriad Mountains and the humans. Wang Han, you seem to be a little silly. Come with me, I’ll examine you.”

The Giant King did not put on any airs.

Perhaps the giants had always been like this. At least, they were different from the powerhouses Han Fei and Ximen Linglan had met.

The Giant King’s palace… Hmm… doesn’t look like a palace.

There weren’t that many fancy things here. Instead, there were quite a few remains of living beings here, as if they were kept as food.

Occasionally, there were decorations, but they were all made from various large bones.

In the center of the circular palace was a large circular cushion.

On the surrounding stone walls, there were many murals. On the murals, the Giant King led his clansmen to win one battle after another.

The Giant King sat on his cushion and said to Han Fei and Ximen Linglan, “Come, sit down.”

Ximen Linglan hurriedly pulled Han Fei and ran to the cushion. She was very nervous, full of expectation and worry.

The Giant King casually stretched out his hand, and a boulder the size of a small mountain appeared.

The Giant King said, “Wang Han, try infusing some spiritual energy into it.”

The Giant King was puzzled. Han Fei’s body was absorbing spiritual energy and energy all the time. Not only was he fast, but he was also very young and talented, which was really rare.

Ximen Linglan was surprised. “This is the Pulse Testing Stone?”

This was the first time Ximen Linglan had seen a Pulse Testing Stone bigger than a person. It must be because the giants were taller. She couldn’t help but look at Han Fei. After so many years, she didn’t know what level Han Fei’s spiritual heritage was, so she was quite curious.

Han Fei foolishly put his hand on the Pulse Testing Stone and pressed it.

Buzz!

On the Pulse Testing Stone, a thick purple light exploded, causing Ximen Linglan’s eyes to widen. He had a high-quality spiritual heritage? Moreover, the light was so dense. It seemed that his spiritual heritage was even better than hers.

The Giant King narrowed his eyes and said, “A level-nine spiritual heritage. No wonder your cultivation speed is so fast.”

“Level nine?”

Ximen Linglan looked at Han Fei in disbelief. How could it be so high? Such an ultra-quality spiritual heritage was hard to find even in a thousand years!

Han Fei was still unconscious, or he would have been shocked. Where did I get a level-nine spiritual heritage?

The Giant King was not bothered by the issue of the spiritual heritage. Instead, he said, “Wang Han, try releasing your soul. Let me see what’s wrong with your memory.”

Ximen Linglan hurriedly said, “Idiot, did you hear that? Senior is helping you. Relax your guard.”

Han Fei scratched his head and nodded.

When Han Fei raised his head again, he suddenly found that he couldn’t move, including Ximen Linglan. She couldn’t move and could only watch quietly.

A finger touched Han Fei’s head.

Originally, the Giant King did not think much of it.

After all, he was just a little guy at the level of a Hidden Fisher. It must be because of his soul that his memory was chaotic. Everything would return to normal after he sorted out his soul.

However, when the Giant King tried to sort out Han Fei’s soul, countless pictures rushed at him in an instant, followed by a green light.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, a trace of the Giant King’s soul was crushed, and Han Fei spat out a mouthful of blood.

The restriction vanished, and the Giant King’s body trembled as he involuntarily let out a muffled groan.

“A soul treasure, the river of time?”

The Giant King suddenly looked very serious. He stood up and looked at Han Fei with a complicated look.

Ximen Linglan rushed to Han Fei. “Idiot, are you awake? Wang Han, how are you? Senior, what happened to him?”

The Giant King had a complicated expression as he said slowly, “He’s fine. He’ll wake up soon.”

Hearing that Han Fei was fine, Ximen Linglan was relieved and thought to herself, Is this the consequence of treatment? Just spit out some blood?

After ten seconds, Han Fei slowly opened his eyes.

It was as if he wasn’t the one who vomited the blood just now. He even scratched his head, looking dumbstruck.

The Giant King took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “Little girl, do you know where Wang Han came from?”

Ximen Linglan was stunned.

Obviously, Han Fei’s memory hadn’t recovered yet.

However, why did the Giant King give such a look?

Ximen Linglan hurriedly said, “Senior, Wang Han was born in a human village. He lost his mother when he was young, and he has been foolish since he was born. His talent was extremely high, but no one noticed it. Later, his father died on the battlefield, so he came to the Remote Desolate Jungle to cultivate with me… Oh, right, he can only cultivate a very ordinary cultivation technique called True Spirit Fishing Art.”

The Giant King pondered. “Are you sure that he had been living in a small human village since he was born?”

Ximen Linglan nodded. “I’m sure.”

She knew Han Fei well. Besides, many people in the Great Wilderness Village knew him. How could it be fake?

The Giant King paced back and forth in the palace as if thinking about something very complicated. After a long time, he said solemnly, “Do you think an ordinary person can give birth to a genius with a level-nine spiritual heritage?”

At that moment, they heard the voice of the female giant priest from outside the palace. “King, I’m here.”

“Come in.”

As soon as the Giant Priest entered, the Giant King asked, “There’s only the word ‘human’ on the oracle?”

The Giant Priest replied, “Yes, it’s absolutely true. There’s only one word. All of the clansmen who stayed behind saw it.”

The Giant King frowned and muttered to himself, “The God of War isn’t dead? Where is he? He’s…”

Giant King: “Who do you think it is referring to?”

The Giant Priest pointed at Han Fei. “Everything is too coincidental. I think the oracle is human, not human beings. This is a very important difference.”

The Giant King pondered for a moment. “Alright, I understand. Go back.”

With that said, the Giant King’s figure flashed and vanished.

Then, they heard the Giant King’s voice from outside the palace: “Beast King, Tianqing, Water Immortal, we have important matters to discuss, come quickly.”

…

There were a total of four powerhouses in the Grand Myriad Mountains.

They were the Beast King in charge of the wild beasts, Tianqing of the sky race, Water Immortal of the demonic plant race, and the Giant King of the War Giant Tribe.

Among them, the strength of the four powerhouses was relatively balanced.

However, the beast king was the strongest, and it was the only peak-level Venerable amongst the four of them that had the highest chance of becoming a King.

As the Giant King howled, the first to arrive was a pool of spring water. In the water, a white flower bloomed, and then a young, graceful woman dressed in white appeared.

The woman looked into the palace and said calmly, “Big guy, did the Oracle really appear?”

Buzz!

Before the Giant King could reply, a shadow emerged from the void. After it landed, it turned into a stern-looking man dressed in black feathers.

The man said, “I already know about this matter. The two humans crossed over from the Remote Desolate Jungle. They are quite bold.”

“Roar!”

In the sky, a figure was jumping about, leaping through the air several times, ultimately smashing into the platform outside.

It was a large ape with a ferocious look. It held a thick rod in its hand and was currently carrying it on its shoulder.

The ape took a big step forward and shook its body. “What? What is the important matter? Why do you need to gather all four of us?”

Han Fei was pulled up from the cushion by Ximen Linglan.

Ximen Linglan’s body tensed up. Four venerable level powerhouses! This strength was comparable to the entire Yu City. In addition to the Mountain Giants and the other powerhouses from various races, it could be said that if the Grand Myriad Mountains were to start a war with humans, humans might not be able to win.

The Giant King extended his hand and blocked Han Fei and Ximen Linglan’s hearing.

He then said unhurriedly, “That human boy has a level-nine spiritual heritage, just a little less than a king-level spiritual heritage. Also, there seems to be something wrong with him. You need to take a good look at him. I’m not quite sure.”

As he spoke, a wisp of soul seeped out from the Giant King’s fingertip for the three to observe.

Water Immortal was surprised. “Level-nine spiritual heritage?”

The ape sneered. “So what if he has a level-nine spiritual heritage? Not a king yet. Does he have… Hiss… the river of time?”

The ape’s expression changed drastically, including Tianqing and the Water Immortal.

The ape stepped in front of Han Fei.

This gave Ximen Linglan a fright, and she hurriedly pulled Han Fei back. However, the ape didn’t deliberately retract its pressure, so at this moment, Ximen Linglan felt that she was suffocating and could fall to the ground at any time.

However, Han Fei was completely fine. He looked up at the ape and blinked his eyes. Suddenly, the figure of a giant ape appeared in his mind.

“Be good to the Beast Race.”

Confused, Han Fei narrowed his eyes and felt a slight headache.

The big ape stared at Han Fei and said, “Human boy, let me look at you.”

With that, a wisp of its soul touched Han Fei’s forehead.

Bang!

Han Fei vomited another mouthful of blood and sat on the ground, while the wisp of the ape’s soul directly shattered.

Ximen Linglan gritted her teeth. “Senior Beast King, Senior Giant King has already checked his soul.”

Speaking to a Venerable required courage.

Ximen Linglan thought, If everyone came to take a look, wouldn’t Han Fei still have to vomit blood?

The ape suddenly turned around and looked at the three people walking over from outside. It said in astonishment, “This boy, what a powerful soul treasure! It can actually crush my soul.”

The Giant King blocked Han Fei and Ximen Linglan’s perception. “How is it, Monkey? What did you see?”

The ape’s gaze was cold. “You’re right. This brat does indeed involve the river of time. Not only that, he’s quite strange. It seems like he has something to do with the Beast Race.”

The Water Immortal appeared beside Han Fei and looked at Ximen Linglan. “Don’t panic. Spitting a few mouthfuls of blood won’t hurt him. We have to check him one by one.”

…

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

Moments later, Water Immortal and Sky God’s expressions became complicated.

The Giant King was right. This child was definitely extraordinary.

Then, the ape asked the same question as the Giant King. He looked at Ximen Linglan and said, “Girl, do you know where this kid came from?”

Ximen Linglan’s face was a bit pale, but she still said firmly, “Outside Yu City, in Great Wilderness Village, his parents are ordinary cultivators.”

“Nonsense! Who can give birth to such a little monster?”

Ximen Linglan gritted her teeth. Why did it sound so strange? Could it be that Wang Han wasn’t born in Great Wilderness Village?

The Water Immortal waved her hand and Han Fei and the others were enveloped by a water ball and isolated.

After that, the Water Immortal said, “I can feel the entanglement between him and the spiritual plant race from this child. Interesting. I can confirm that he is not from this era.”

Tianqing nodded slightly. “That’s right. He doesn’t have anything to do with my Sky Race. However, from his fragmented memories, this child is an extraordinary genius. He is an enemy of the sea races.”

The ape said with a buzz, “Is that what you should be concerned about now? I can vaguely see the endless sea in the future. Humans actually live in the sky? What does this mean?”

The four of them fell silent. This implied meaning was very terrifying! It meant that the land was eventually drowned by the sea and the Grand Myriad Mountains were gone.

Tianqing looked back at Han Fei and said coldly, “Can his soul treasure be broken?”

The Water Immortal shook her head. “No! He’s in a terrible state to begin with. His passage through the river of time might have affected him in an unpredictable way. It’s all because of that soul treasure. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just become a fool right now. Not to mention that we won’t be able to break that soul treasure, even if we do, it’s very likely that his soul will be destroyed.”

The Giant King buzzed. “Fairy, you have the most soul nurturing techniques. Can’t you treat him?”

Water Immortal pondered for a moment: “I can only give it a try. If I want to restore all of his memories, I will have to sort them out first. The best way is for him to slowly recall everything himself and let his soul recover.”

Tianqing’s voice was cold. “The question is, how did he come here? What is his purpose?”

This question sent a chill down the other three’s spines.

The Giant King looked at the Beast King. “Can you send people across the river of time?”

“Pfft!”

The ape was dumbfounded. He looked at the Giant King like he was an idiot. “What the f*ck are you talking about? If I had the ability to send people across the river of time, I would have sent people back to the Age of Immortals to seek help. How can I fight against the sea races like a fool?”

Water Immortal: “Beast king, what ability do you need to send someone across the river of time?”

The beast king shook his head. “I don’t know. Logically speaking, even a king level powerhouse won’t be able to do that. However, it’s hard to say if it’s a king who controls the Great Dao of Time. No matter what, the river of time is an extremely mysterious forbidden zone. Ordinary people would not dare to touch it. If one is not careful enough, he would lose himself in time. Even a king level powerhouse will perish easily.”

The Giant King pointed at Han Fei. “Then how did he get here?”

The four of them fell silent.

They were venerables, not kings, and not gods. They could see the shadow of the river of time on Han Fei’s body from the vague memory fragments in Han Fei’s mind.

The Water Immortal said, “Let’s not care about how he got here first. In short, he must have come here for a purpose. He just forgot about it. We can keep these two here and see if we can repair his memories. Otherwise, it’s useless for us to think so much. The other thing is, what if, what if the Grand Myriad Mountains are gone? Does this mean that the land here, or even Blackrock City on another island, will be submerged?”

The Giant King said slowly, “Definitely. If this boy’s memory is correct, we should be screwed.”

“No.”

The Water Immortal’s eyes flickered. “But at least it proves that the humans of the later generations are still seeking survival, and the races are still continuing. Also, the war has not stopped. In other words, we actually have a way out.”

The Beast King roared, “What way out? We don’t know!”

Tianqing said, “Our way out must be in our current era. We must have found some way to survive. Otherwise, how could there be future generations?”

The Water Immortal said, “That’s right. Don’t forget that the Oracle of the War God has appeared. Does the appearance of the Oracle mean that the War God hasn’t perished? And this person might become the key to the continuation of our respective races?”

The Giant King shook his head. “No, there’s something wrong with this. The God of War is very long-winded, and there has never been an Oracle with a single word. The only thing I can think of is that even if the God of War hasn’t perished, his condition is extremely bad, and he might even be on the brink of death. Otherwise, he can use the Oracle to chat with me. Do you believe me?”

Everyone :”…”

The Beast King was speechless. “Then what do you mean? Is this person useful or not?”

The Giant King roared. “Nonsense, of course useful! At the very least, he allowed me to peek into the future. Just this alone will allow us to make many preparations.”

The Water Immortal nodded as well. “That’s right. His appearance alone is enough to explain many things. Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, be it the war giants or the beast race, his memory fragments about them are pitifully few.”

“Roar!”

The ape stuck the rod into the ground. “It’s over. This means that the outcome of our races isn’t good.”

Tianqing coldly said, “Rather than arguing here, why don’t we ask him why he’s here?”

The Beast King said huffily, “His brain is a mess. How can he think of this?”

Tianqing: “What if he can?”
