Chapter 1549: Gathering of the Ten Thousand Races

Translator: Legge

Kunlun Ruins, Ling Long Secret Ground.

After a hundred years, Su Zimo had returned here once more.

Su Zimo had benefited immensely from his cultivation over the years. He had already entered the Half-Martial Ancestor realm and comprehended a trace of divine power.

However, he still could not break through.

Although nothing changed in the Ling Long Secret Ground, Su Zimo had one less person by his side.

Nian Qi was gone.

He looked at the secret ground and could not help but recall the scene of him, Extreme Fire and Nian Qi entering this place.

Although it happened a hundred years ago, it felt like yesterday.

“Zimo, don’t worry. Nian Qi is very smart, she’ll be fine,”

Extreme Fire consoled at the side.

Night Spirit reverted to the form of a black-robed youth and followed behind Su Zimo in silence.

“What about the treasures here?”

Extreme Fire asked with a frown as the three of them arrived at the secret chamber in the Ling Long Secret Ground and looked at the many treasures left behind by Fairy Ling Long.

Su Zimo pondered for a moment. “Let’s leave them here.”

“These treasures are the hope left behind by Fairy Ling Long for the human race. However, the human race won the ancient war.”

“But now that Tianhuang Mainland is in chaos, the situation of the human race is even more dangerous than in the ancient era. There are dangers both inside and outside. This might be the last path of retreat for the human race.”

Extreme Fire nodded.

The two of them arrived at the wall where Fairy Ling Long left her words and bowed once more before turning to leave the secret ground.

Compared to a hundred years ago, Su Zimo and the other two were much stronger!

The three of them left the Ling Long Secret Ground and entered the outer perimeter of the Kunlun Ruins. As they advanced, almost all the malevolent ghosts and spirits fled far away and did not dare to approach them!

The three of them advanced and returned to Tianhuang Mainland in less than half a day.

Su Zimo gazed in the direction of the Middle Continent and murmured softly, “Ten Thousand Race Meet, here I come!”

…

Middle Continent, Heaven Expanding Mountain Range.

The mountain range was filled with thick fog all year round. However, during this period of time, as though it was controlled, the fog dispersed entirely.

Enigma Palace.

Throughout history, it was the most mysterious and powerful existence in the cultivation world, the sacred ground of the human race!

Ever since the ancient era, the world had changed. Even for the super sects, many of them rose and were destroyed with different ones taking over endlessly—Enigma Palace was the only one that stood strong!

There were no flames of war that affected the territory of Enigma Palace.

Furthermore, Enigma Palace was the most mysterious existence in the cultivation world.

Nobody knew what was inside Enigma Palace.

Apart from cultivators of Enigma Palace, almost no outsiders could enter Enigma Palace to catch a glimpse of its true appearance.

But now that Enigma Palace was hosting the Ten Thousand Race Meet, the mysterious veil of Enigma Palace was removed completely!

Over the past few days, countless sects, factions, cultivators and races had descended in Enigma Palace.

The Ten Thousand Race Meet encompassed everything.

It did not matter if they were from major sects, minor sects, itinerant cultivators, aristocratic families, anacondas, snakes or any other variant beast of the demon race. As long as their cultivation realms were high enough, they could come if they wanted to take part in the Ten Thousand Race Meet.

In the past few days, countless sects, factions and powerful living beings had arrived at the Heaven Expanding Mountain Range and entered Enigma Palace—many experts were gathered!

In fact, even some itinerant cultivators who were in seclusion appeared.

Nobody was going to miss this grand meet!

Everyone knew that this was not just a mere meet.

There was a high chance that this gathering would determine the future of Tianhuang Mainland, including the fates of the ten thousand races!

Dao Palaces were scattered all over Enigma Palace in mysterious locations that seemed to vaguely correspond to the stars in the firmaments.

Spirit peaks stood with green water swirling around them as a vast sea of clouds floated around them.

Amidst the noise, waterfalls could be seen pouring down from the heavens, creating ripples as a rainbow crossed two peaks.

In the lake beneath the waterfalls, water shimmered as fat, beautiful fishes leaped from time to time.

Everything was like paradise.

Although the Ten Thousand Race Meet would only start a few days later, many cultivators of different races had already arrived in Enigma Palace and it was bustling.

Dong!

Right then, a distant bell sounded from Enigma Palace.

“Is it because some big shot has arrived?!”

“Look, over there!”

Many cultivators and living beings turned towards the entrance of Enigma Palace.

The bell of Enigma Palace would only ring when a noble figure descended. At that time, someone of high status from Enigma Palace would head over to welcome the guest as well.

Far away, a group of cultivators arrived on starlight. There were hundreds of them and the weakest were Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords.

Among them, there were even some Conjoint Body Mighty Figures.

Brilliant cultivators could even sense the auras of Half-Martial Ancestors within!

The leader had a Dao crown on his head and his robes were engraved with many stars that shone faintly.

“It’s the Sect Master of Heavenly Dipper Sect!”

“To think that the sect master would arrive personally for the Ten Thousand Race Meet!”

“You don’t know about that, do you? Over the past few days, the super sects have been led by the sect masters. This meet is way too important!”

Many cultivators gathered and discussed softly.

Many cultivators of Enigma Palace appeared and welcomed the group. Their leader was the Palace Lord of Enigma Palace, Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze.

“Did you see that? A hundred years ago, Desolate Martial wreaked havoc in Enigma Palace and Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze was punished to reflect on his mistakes. I heard that he was only released recently.”

“Speaking of Desolate Martial, it’s strange. There’s been no news of him all these years!”

“I reckon that Desolate Martial is most likely dead!”

“Even if he’s not dead, he won’t dare to appear! The Blood Vine race has a Killing Badge on Desolate Martial and he’s being hunted by the other five primordial races. Unless he’s tired of living, he wouldn’t dare to appear at a time like this!”

As the Ten Thousand Race Meet approached, the number of sects and factions that arrived at Enigma Palace increased.

Many of the 108 upper sects were destroyed by the Primordial Six Races and the remaining dozens arrived.

On the day of the Ten Thousand Race Meet, the eight immortal sects, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines, four unorthodox groups and three ancient aristocratic families arrived!

Of the five heretical doctrines, Gu Sect was already destroyed.

However, there were still a few Gu Masters who represented Gu Sect.

To the pity of countless cultivators, Clear Wind Temple of the nine immortal sects and Clear Heart Nunnery of the six Buddhist monasteries were destroyed—no cultivators from them arrived.

There were many Grand Demons from the eight demon regions as well!

Some demons turned into fiend demons that looked no different from humans.

However, some of the demons were in their true forms and their demonic qi surged, making them stand out in the crowd.

A grand event as such gathered almost all the factions of Tianhuang Mainland and was rare even in the ancient era!

Enigma Palace was the only one with such influence.

They were also the only one with the guts to summon the ten thousand races!

Enigma Palace was vast and could accommodate experts of the ten thousand races with ease.

However, none of the Primordial Nine Races appeared on the official day of the Ten Thousand Race Meet!

The sect masters and palace lords of the major sects and factions waited patiently with unchanged expressions.

They knew in their hearts that the purpose of this Ten Thousand Race Meet was to negotiate with the primordial races.

If the primordial races did not take part, there would be no meaning to the Ten Thousand Race Meet.
