Chapter 274: Heavenly Court’s Invitation, First Death (2)
Fortunately, in these ten years, Su Mu’s body control technique had improved a bit, and he could shrink it to a minimum of five meters long.
Bear Mountain had also learned Body Control Technique. Although he was not proficient in it, he could still shrink to three meters tall, much smaller than his previous target.
Along the way, Su Mu met many top experts and witnessed the prosperity of the human race.
He now understood why the Myriad Demon Palace and the old fox demoness did not dare to offend the Chu Country.
If the Qi Kingdom was already so powerful, how powerful would the Chu Kingdom, which was ranked in the top three in terms of national strength, be?
What shocked Su Mu the most wasn’t how terrifying the top human experts were.
Instead, the entire human race had displayed an astonishing vitality!
Just as it was full of vitality and all things were competing.
The biggest difference between this era and the Da Qian Era was that the major cultivation sects and powers of this era did not care about the leakage of their cultivation techniques at all.
To be more precise, it was not that they did not care about the news being leaked, but they would deliberately publicize it and discuss it with others.
The major cultivation forces of the Great Qian Dynasty would rather hide any good cultivation techniques, martial arts techniques, or divine arts that they had in their eyes than let outsiders know about them.
Whoever stole it would have to fight him to the death!
However, in the Warring States Period thousands of years ago, the atmosphere was extremely open.
Many martial artists, Qi Practitioners, and alchemists would gather together for the Dao Discussion and Martial Arts Exhibition.
The Dao Discussion Martial Arts Practice Conference was where the participants talked about their cultivation techniques and insights. Others could raise doubts and debate.
Many a time, some martial artists would argue until their faces turned red because of some small differences or opinions in martial techniques.
They even fought!
Of course, it was not a battle of life and death. It was just a fight to understand and determine who was right and who was wrong.
Although the scene was a little explosive, such a Dao Discussion Martial Arts Practice Conference caused all kinds of thoughts to collide fiercely, producing countless new flames!
In this era, whether it was cultivation techniques or martial arts techniques.
They were all updating and improving at an astonishing speed!
The major cultivation forces would not chase after him because others cultivated their own cultivation techniques.
Instead, they would feel proud because there were many people cultivating their cultivation techniques.
Moreover, the sect’s forces were not that strict.
Sometimes, if they cultivated the same cultivation technique, they would be brothers.
The Hundred Schools of Philosophy was one of them.
..
After quietly watching the two Dao Discussion and Martial Arts Practice Conference, Su Mu was greatly impressed.
Su Mu had no doubt that even if all the human masters above the Grandmaster level were to die in an instant, the Monster Race would not be able to become the ruler of this world.
Because it would only take a few decades for the human race to produce a new batch of top-notch powerhouses.
This was the power of civilization.
The cultivation civilization of the human race had displayed astonishing vitality!
If there were no major disasters and things continued to develop like this.
A thousand years later, there might really be a situation where there were as many Grandmasters as dogs and Martial Gods everywhere.
But the truth was the exact opposite.
If it was before, Su Mu would have been worried about what kind of terrifying catastrophe would happen.
But now, he had already relaxed.
Who cares about the apocalypse? Didn’t it not happen yet?
Continue playing music and dancing!
..
Just like that, Su Mu traveled all the way and saw all kinds of things in the human world.
Even though he did not find the opportunity to break through to the realm of Martial Arts, he had broadened his horizons and learned a lot about the cultivation techniques of the Human Race.
It could also be considered as accumulating a foundation for himself.
Half a year later, Su Mu and Xiong Shan arrived at a remote village.
Coincidentally, there were gongs and drums playing here, and there were a lot of people. It was a lively scene.
Out of curiosity, Su Mu used a smokescreen to transform into a human and went to inquire about the news.
“Old man, why is the village so lively?”
Su Mu stopped the old man and asked him. Seeing his handsome appearance as a traveling scholar, he couldn’t help but feel a bit more intimate.
Of course, it was also due to the talent [Affinity].
“Haha! Today is our village’s annual festival, which is specially used to worship the river god.”
“Sacrifice to the River God?”
Hearing this, Su Mu’s interest was piqued.
After a series of inquiries, Su Mu learned a lot of information from the old man.
There was a large river in the village, and there was a river god in the river. He had existed for more than a hundred years and was conferred by the Heavenly Court.
The River God looked like a long-haired ape. He liked to eat fish, prawns, and fruits. He had never harmed anyone and would occasionally help the villagers catch fish.
However, this was normal.
The prosperity of the human race could not tolerate evil gods!
The River God existed only because the village was remote enough.
If this River God dared to do evil, he would have been killed by the human experts long ago.
Heavenly Court? What the hell was that?
All in all, over the past hundred years, this village had gradually formed a festival for worshipping gods, becoming a grand festival.
On the day of the festival, the villagers could also take this opportunity to celebrate the harvest of the year and relax while worshipping the river god.
In this era, as long as there was no war, the lives of the people at the bottom would be passable.
..
“Boss, shall we go and take a look?”
After learning about this, Xiong Shan was very interested.
The existence of the Heavenly Court was very weak, and there were not many mountain gods and river gods conferred.
This was the first colleague Xiong Shan met after leaving the nameless hill.
“Alright, let’s go take a look.”
Su Mu had always been somewhat wary of Heavenly Court, since he was already here, he definitely had to experience it, there was no harm in understanding more.
In addition, he had heard many stories about the water monkey in his previous life, so he was very curious.
It wasn’t easy to get a genuine product, so he had to take a look!
..
Just like that, the two demons concealed themselves and followed behind the crowd.
With the sound of gongs and drums, the villagers came to the river and began to offer sacrifices.
