In the world of immortal cultivation, there were no years to count. This time, Qin Fengming's secluded cultivation lasted twenty-one years.
The cave abode where he stayed had never been opened again after he entered, and no one had appeared anywhere near it.
During the twenty-one years Qin Fengming spent in seclusion, the Cultivation World remained relatively peaceful. Although quite a few sects continued to rise and fall, thirteen years ago, after the passage between the Three Realms officially closed, the Ancient Battlefield between the two great empires underwent a sudden change.
The many cultivators inside the Ancient Battlefield were sent out one after another.
The Ancient Battlefield, which had been open for a hundred years, suddenly closed on its own. The dense fog surrounding the battlefield reappeared, and powerful Restrictive Spells once again sealed the enormous Ancient Battlefield within.
Manghuang Mountain, however, was far from peaceful during these twenty years.
In the third year of Qin Fengming's seclusion, Manghuang Mountain suddenly announced that it was sealing off the mountain. It would no longer associate with cultivators from outside the sect, and cultivators from any other sect—or Rogue Cultivators—would no longer be permitted to enter within a thousand miles of Manghuang Mountain.
This was because Manghuang Mountain had already set up countless formidable Restrictive Spells within a thousand miles of its surroundings.
Even late Nascent Soul stage cultivators faced the danger of falling if they entered those Restrictive Spells.
When news of Manghuang Mountain first spread, the entire Yuanfeng Empire's immortal cultivation world erupted in an uproar. The various major sects even sent powerful cultivators over to investigate Manghuang Mountain's true situation. Even the Five Great Super Sects had Great Cultivators personally appear and travel to the mountain range where Manghuang Mountain was located.
Yet what left everyone utterly speechless
