Southern Wilderness Region.
Cang City, Cang Province.
Inside a tavern.
A Young Man, dressed in brocade robes, exuded an air of nobility, his face stern, appearing to be only twenty years old. He sat at a table, savoring fine wine, a smile occasionally playing on his lips.
He listened with interest to the discussions among the Cultivators in the tavern.
If a Cultivator from the Beitian Region were present and saw this noble Young Man, they would surely be greatly alarmed.
Clearly, this noble Young Man's origin was not simple.
But why he appeared in the Southern Wilderness Region was unknown.
"Brothers, listen to me!"
"That day, I personally witnessed Eight Heavenly Kings, powerful experts, being captured in the Void Realm by Kunlun's strong individuals, without even the ability to resist, right before Kunlun's presence!"
"Hiss!"
"Now, when I recall that terrifying existence from Kunlun that day, who merely spoke a single sentence and had Eight Heavenly Kings seized from the Void Realm and brought into Kunlun, it still sends shivers down my spine!"
"It was too terrifying!"
A Cultivator with a large saber strapped to his waist looked at the astonished crowd before him and spoke with extreme seriousness.
This Cultivator was the one who had witnessed the battle between Kunlun and the Eight Great Powers, the Jun Family, and the Yaochi Palace that day.
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, their expressions filled with shock, and they couldn't help but gasp in cold air.
"Brother, what… what happened next?!"
Everyone's faces were filled with shock, and they all wanted to know what happened next, urging him on. Although rumors about Kunlun had been circulating in the Southern Wilderness Region during this period, to hear it firsthand now, how could they not be shocked!
"Cough… cough, cough!"
The Cultivator with the large saber clutched his throat and coughed heavily. Then, one person among the crowd, very discerning, took wine from his own table, went up to pour fine wine for the other, and did not forget to remind him: "Oh! Come, come, brother, have a cup of wine to moisten your throat first!"
Seeing the fine wine, the saber-wielding Cultivator's eyes lit up. He picked up the wine cup and immediately drank it down. How refreshing!
Good heavens, he was a drunkard!
However, this wine was no ordinary wine; it was a spiritual wine that could enhance Qi and blood, and most people couldn't afford to drink it.
Then.
"Hiss! What happened later was even more terrifying! The Jun Family and Yaochi Palace also arrived!"
As his words fell, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"What?!"
"The Jun Family and Yaochi Palace?!"
"Hiss!"
"You… you're not trying to say that Kunlun even… even dealt with the Jun Family and Yaochi Palace?!"
Everyone seemed to have guessed something, their hearts filled with immense shock.
Because no news had come from the Jun Family and Yaochi Palace, and no one dared to speak of those two top-tier powers.
And the Old Ancestors of the Eight Great Powers had not told anyone that the Jun Family and Yaochi Palace had suffered losses at Kunlun's hands.
So, people in the Southern Wilderness Region all thought that the Jun Family and Yaochi Palace simply didn't put Kunlun in their eyes.
But who would have thought that this matter would be revealed by the Cultivator with the large saber before them.
Indeed, as soon as he drinks, whether the Southern Wilderness Region is chaotic or not, I decide!
At this moment.
At the previous wine table, the Young Man in brocade robes, upon hearing the words "Yaochi Palace," showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and murmured, "Kunlun? What kind of Sect is this? To have such a great reputation in this Southern Wilderness Region is quite interesting!"
Then, the saber-wielding Cultivator continued.
"That's right! Later, people from the Jun Family and Yaochi Palace appeared, but… but another terrifying existence from Kunlun made a move!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was once again plunged into shock, their hearts filled with even greater horror.
"Hiss!"
"What kind of Sect is this Kunlun after all?!"
"That existence seemed to be a Young Woman, but her aura was terrifying to the extreme… she… she might be an existence above the Heavenly King Realm…!"
At this point.
The saber-wielding Cultivator swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.
"Whoa!"
"Above the Heavenly King Realm?!"
"Isn't that…?"
Everyone present was completely shocked, too stunned to speak.
"Oh?"
"Quite interesting! Does this Kunlun have a Saint?"
The Young Man in brocade robes thought to himself.
Before anyone could recover, he continued to speak.
"Later… later, that existence from Kunlun made a move, seemingly intending to keep the people from the Jun Family and Yaochi Palace, but then someone else intervened and took them away…"
"Whew!"
After speaking, the saber-wielding Cultivator took a deep breath, shook his head, seemingly sobered up from the wine. Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone present, he then realized something and his face changed.
He quickly got up and left the tavern, not daring to linger.
"Hiss!"
In the tavern, everyone also recovered and took a deep breath.
Then, one person suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Holy cow! Kunlun!"
Everyone looked bewildered, thinking this person had been stimulated after hearing about Kunlun.
Is the after-effect that strong?
...
"Damn it! I almost forgot, Kunlun is officially starting to recruit Disciples tomorrow!"
Ignoring everyone's reactions, that Cultivator said a sentence and rushed out of the tavern, heading towards Qingzhou.
Kunlun recruiting Disciples?
Holy cow!
Damn that storyteller!
You bastard, you almost ruined me!
Kunlun, here I come!
As the words fell, everyone present mentally cursed the saber-wwielding Cultivator from before.
Then they quickly left the tavern, each displaying their best escape techniques to rush towards Kunlun.
In an instant.
The tavern, which had just been incredibly lively, was now eerily quiet.
Only the Young Man in brocade robes remained, looking bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
He had only heard something about Kunlun recruiting Disciples.
Holy cow!
What's going on?
What kind of Sect is this Kunlun?
The Young Man was also slightly surprised. It wasn't the first time he had heard the name Kunlun.
Since he entered the Southern Wilderness Region, the name Kunlun had been circulating everywhere, and at that time, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now, hearing what those people just said, made him even more interested in Kunlun.
"Kunlun, huh? I'd like to see what kind of Sect this is."
Then, the Young Man also left the tavern. After understanding the direction everyone had gone, his figure disappeared from the spot.
At the same time.
East Heaven Domain.
Nine Nether Dynasty.
Deep within the Nine Nether Ancestral Land.
In an ancient grand hall, the Nine Nether Three Clan Elder of the Nine Nether Dynasty seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the depths of the grand hall, his eyes revealing a deep sense of reverence.
Only to see terrifyingly powerful Qi emanating from the depths of the grand hall.
Then, he quickly rose from his Cultivation state, bowed respectfully towards the depths of the grand hall, his heart filled with shock. He hadn't expected this existence, who had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, to awaken.
"Old Ancestor, you have awakened!"
As his words fell, an ancient and deep voice like an abyss echoed from the depths.
"Thirty thousand years have passed. How is the Nine Nether Dynasty now?!"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Nether Three Clan Elder trembled all over, then respectfully replied.
"Reporting to Old Ancestor, everything is well, it's just… it's just…"
"Speak, what is it?"
Another ancient and majestic voice came from the depths of the grand hall.
