Wang Hao's theory of resurrection and rebirth greatly frightened Zhu Yuanzhang and others. As natives of a low-level martial arts world, they had never heard of such a fantastical concept.
It's utterly absurd that something that has been dead for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years can be resurrected and reborn.
" Whitebeard just mentioned the Nine Provinces Barrier, what is that?"
While everyone was still lost in thought, Wang Xiufang asked about a new term she had noticed earlier.
Wang Hao inwardly gave Wang Xiufang a big thumbs up; this shill was truly too good.
The Nine Provinces Barrier he fabricated earlier was something he deliberately brought up, with the aim of drawing out the next topic so he could continue his deception.
All eyes were drawn back to it, after all, the name "Nine Provinces Barrier " sounded quite extraordinary.
"This world is vast. Besides the Central Plains ancestral land, there are other continents. In the beginning, all places were filled with endless Ferocious Beast. However, in our Central Plains ancestral land, there emerged the Ten Ancient Emperors, who led the Human Clan to rise and suppressed the Ferocious Beast races."
During that period, our Human Clan was the absolute overlord of the Central Plains ancestral land. However, although the Ferocious Beast in the Central Plains ancestral land were constantly being eliminated, there were still endless Ferocious Beast in the outside world.
Such a number of Ferocious Beast were beyond our ability to contend with, so the Ancient Sun Emperor and the Ancient Lunar Emperor deduced a protective array to guard the Central Plains Nine Provinces of China. Later, Great Emperor of ancient emperors would Immolation everything they had in their later years to strengthen the array, which eventually became the protective array that guarded the Central Plains Nine Provinces of China.
This great formation, also known as the Nine Provinces Barrier, keeps out the endless Ferocious Beast from the outside world. Our New World is located in a secret realm outside the Nine Provinces Barrier.
What you call the overseas martial arts world isn't actually overseas, but rather in the area within the Nine Provinces Barrier. Although the environment there is harsh, it's far better than the New World outside the Nine Provinces Barrier, and there aren't as many powerful Ferocious Beast there."
Wang Hao's expression became very serious when he started to talk, as if he were doing something very important.
"Is this the Nine Provinces you're referring to?"
With a sudden thought, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to bring out a map and unfold it. It was the very world map that Wang Hao had used to fool those martial arts masters with the disguise of Ximen Chuixue.
It has everything except Antarctica and Australia.
"That's right, this Africa, this part is Europe, and these two parts are America. However, they were torn in two by the great war between the ancient emperor and the Ferocious Beast. There is also a piece of Antarctica that retains the power of the war and is covered by ice and snow all year round. This is the core of the Central Plains ancestral land, Asia, and also the core of the Nine Provinces Barrier."
Wang Hao simply drew a few circles on the map, pointing out the major states, thus laying the groundwork for his subsequent deception.
"Our Central Plains are so small, and those two America are so big, how could they be torn apart by human power? And why is Europe so small?"
Staring at the world map in disbelief, Wang Xiufang simply couldn't comprehend how such a vast place could have been divided in two.
The map shows the area of Central Plains, but it's far smaller than those two America.
She didn't even have a clear idea of how big the Central Plains were, let alone the two America.
Not only was Wang Xiufang deeply shocked, but the Old Zhu Household family was equally bewildered.
I originally thought the sword energy storm that the Peerless Sword Saint created to rival the might of heaven was already terrifying, but who would have thought there was something even more outrageous.
To be able to cleave a continent several times larger than the Central Plains in two—what terrifying power that must be!
"What's so surprising about this? The power of the Ten Ancient Emperors' era is beyond your imagination. During that period, the Human Dao Fortune was at its peak. As Human Emperor, they were able to receive the Human Dao Fortune and unleash power that was thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than their own. Let alone breaking the continent, it wouldn't be a problem to shatter and sink the entire continent."
Europe was originally no smaller than Asia, but because of a great war, most of it was sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Wang Hao doesn't need to prepare a draft when he starts bragging; he can just spout off a great lie on the spot.
"That's only five major states! What about the other four?"
After looking at the map for a long time, Wang Xiufang still couldn't find any other place that could be called a large prefecture.
It sank!
"It sank? Could it be...?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with horror and terror.
If what they think is true, it would be terrifying.
"It's just as you think. The war between our Human Clan and the Ferocious Beast race during the ancient emperor era was far more brutal than any of us could imagine. The four major continents that served as the main battlefields were completely shattered and sank into the sea."
At this point, Wang Hao's expression became extremely solemn, as if he were imagining a world- Earth Annihilation battle.
Everyone around was truly stunned, unsure how to even begin to describe the legendary Ten Ancient Emperors.
They originally thought that the ten ancient emperors were equivalent to the current Shattering Realm experts, but who would have thought that the combat power between the two sides was so huge that there was no comparison at all.
While the concept of Shattering the Void and ascending to the upper realm is impressive, it pales in comparison to something truly earth- Earth Annihilation.
What kind of monsters are these?!
For no apparent reason, the Old Zhu Household members couldn't help but feel fortunate that they hadn't been born into that cruel era; otherwise, with their small bodies, they would probably have been pulverized by the aftershocks of a battle.
"Little guy, stop looking, I'm talking to you, come here!"
Ignoring the stunned crowd, Wang Hao turned his gaze to a burly young man.
Of course, this "tall and imposing" refers to his stature compared to the average person; compared to his current height of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), it is far less impressive.
This young man was none other than Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yunlu's younger brother, and also Zhu Yanzu's adopted cousin through a pseudonym.
This guy has already been designated as the true successor of the Blood Essence Martial Path, and he has indeed been cultivating very diligently recently. In addition, he has a good relationship with him and his character is good, so it is the perfect time for him to pass on the Blood Essence Martial Path.
"Senior!"
Zhu Yijun stepped forward rather awkwardly. Although as a prince, he was naturally knowledgeable, he still had to consider who he was facing.
Before them stood a terrifying giant, ten zhang tall, who was also a descendant of the legendary King of Shang. Both his strength and status were terrifying beyond measure.
Most importantly, this person is a distinguished guest of the Old Zhu Household, whose future rise and fall are related to the Old Zhu Household. If he displeases the other party because of his own reasons, his father, the emperor, will probably be the first to punish him.
"What kind of behavior is this, all all that fussing and shivering!"
Wang Hao was displeased; he couldn't stand this kind of effeminate behavior from a grown man.
Especially since this guy mainly practices external martial arts, he has developed a very burly physique, standing at least nine feet tall. It's quite an eyesore to see such a heroic figure posing in such a effeminate way.
Zhu Yuanzhang and other high-ranking Old Zhu Household immediately cast cold, piercing glances at him, expressing their displeasure. Zhu Yijun, who was being stared at by everyone, almost burst into tears.
However, he still rationally suppressed his anxiety, quickly put on a tough guy look, and showed a calm smile.
"That's more like it!"
Nodding slightly, Wang Hao sized up his younger cousin and said, "You must be the younger cousin Zhu Yanzu was talking about!"
"Yes, the young man is Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yanzu is my cousin."
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun clearly realized something and quickly nodded seriously, feeling quite expectant.
As expected, his cheap cousin hadn't lied to him; he really did let this powerful descendant of the King of Shang teach him the legendary Blood Essence Martial Path.
Although I've never seen this Whitebeard senior make a move, his ten-zhang-tall physique alone is enough to prove everything.
"You're quite good, I'm very satisfied. Your cousin said I should give you a good beating, train you relentlessly until I'm satisfied, as long as I don't kill you. Are you ready to accept the next challenge?"
Zhu Yijun was initially overjoyed, but when she heard the second half, her whole body stiffened, and her face began to turn slightly green.
What does it mean to train someone to death as long as they don't die? That sounds terrifying!
Is it too late for me to refuse now?
Just as Zhu Yijun was about to refuse, he felt the cold gazes of the Old Zhu Household elders behind him. He swallowed the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue and instead replied with a resolute expression, "Senior, I am prepared to accept any challenge. There is no need to worry about my life or death!"
At this moment, Zhu Yijun exudes a tragic air reminiscent of the line "The wind is Xiao Xiao, the Water Chill."
"Alright, I like fearless youngsters like you. Kaido is in your hands now. Train him at double the intensity as originally planned."
Wang Hao looked very satisfied, but his words made Zhu Yijun stiffen again, her face turning almost dark green, and she was filled with regret!
Boss, is it too late for me to take back what I said earlier?
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked pleased and were quite satisfied with Zhu Yijun's response.
Such a resolute character, truly worthy of being a son of the Old Zhu Household!
"By the way, have you Awakening Bloodline Divine Ability?"
After sensing the concentration of bloodline within Zhu Yijun's body, Wang Hao became somewhat interested in this guy's Bloodline Divine Ability.
"Yes, I possess a mysterious energy within me that can amplify various physical attributes, such as strength, speed, and recovery. Currently, it can double these attributes, but it can only enhance one aspect at a time!"
Suppressing his grief and bitterness, Zhu Yijun unleashed the supernatural power of his Awakening Bloodline Divine Ability, his expression revealing an undisguised confidence.
He was quite proud of his supernatural ability.
"Physical Bloodline Divine Ability?"
Stroking his chin, Wang Hao pondered for a moment before laughing, "Gulala... Kid, although I promised Zhu Yanzu to pass on the Blood Essence Martial Path to the Central Plains Ancestral Land, it's only the cultivation method. As for the accompanying secret techniques, or some unique skills I created myself, that depends on your performance!"
"This lad will certainly not disappoint you, senior!"
Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up; she was utterly captivated.
A simple cultivation method and a complete cultivation inheritance are two completely different things. If you could obtain the complete inheritance, you would really hit the jackpot.
Especially the secret techniques created by this Whitebeard senior himself, which are definitely not simple.
We must get our hands on it, even at the cost of everything.
Anyway, they said before that they wouldn't kill us, so at most we'd just suffer a bit. As long as we get through this, a bright future will come.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun decided to give it her all!
Comrade Old Zhu and others were thrilled and excited by this. They decided that they would use all the resources of the Old Zhu Household to help Zhu Yijun pass the test and obtain the complete inheritance of Blood Essence Martial Path, and even the Whitebeard's own secret techniques.
