Chapter 1369 1369: The Secrets of the World!
A woman of unmatched beauty, captivating all, and an eagerly awaited mother.A child who dreams of his mother night and day.
They embrace and weep.
Tears mingle.
The world seems to stop.
Only cries, heartrending and earth-shattering, vent the endless longing of more than ten years.
And the warmth of love...
Old Fu, seeing this scene, couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corner of his eye, then turned and quietly left.
He was there when Lady Dongfang returned alone with Qin Feng.
He was also there during that earth-shaking moment of tears when Lady Dongfang and Qin Feng parted.
He understood.
This moment was the happiest of their lives...
It was noon.
Qin's Mother cooked a bowl of dragon's beard noodles and placed it on the table.
Qin Feng, smelling the familiar aroma, couldn't help but gulp it down eagerly.
Slurp!
With a mouthful, Qin Feng was very satisfied, looked up at his mother, and smiled, "Delicious! Just like before!"
"You used to love this the most,"
Qin's Mother said with a loving smile.
Though she was forty, her skin was smooth and her beauty unmatched, making her appear even less than thirty.
Watching Qin Feng devour the noodles, her face also bloomed with a happy smile; resting her chin, eyes never blinking, as if she couldn't see enough.
Soon.
The bowl of noodles was finished.
Qin Feng patted his full belly, let out a satisfied burp, and felt extremely happy.
Of course.
He knew it was still too early to revel in the warmth of family love.
"Can you tell me what all of this is about?"
Qin Feng's expression became serious.
He needed to know more and solve all the troubles!
Especially regarding Heavenly King Mountain.
How did it fall so quickly from being an organization as wealthy as a nation?
Also.
Heavenly King Mountain clearly has Four Heavenly Kings; even if his uncle, the True Martial Heavenly King, stepped down, it should have been contested by the remaining three Heavenly Kings, so why choose a young man as the successor?
Why did Heavenly King Mountain sell all its properties, including those in Hua Country?
Moreover.
What exactly are True Martial Heavenly King and the others afraid of?
Why does the grand Heavenly King Mountain have a "higher authority"?
He wanted to know what had truly happened!
"Xiao Feng..."
Qin's Mother gently stroked his head, sighed with eyes full of affection, and said, "At such a young age, bearing such burdens, it pains me too..."
She began to narrate slowly.
It turns out after the last Round Table Conference, those at the pinnacle of the world already knew that Earth World was about to face an apocalypse.
The calamity that even the Upper Realm couldn't withstand, let alone those with weaker powers in the Lower Realm.
There are only four ways to survive the catastrophe.
First.
Find a way to reach a certain level of strength like the top expert Yan Nantian a century ago, allowing passage to the Upper Realm to avoid the calamity.
But with so many world experts, there are also many with high cultivation.
Gaining enlightenment to enter the Upper Realm on one's own was rare.
Thus, this was not the choice for most people.
Second.
Compete for the Soul of the Country.
Several major countries in the world are guarded by the Soul of the Country.
If one could be blessed by the Soul of the Country, they could escape the calamity.
However, such a precious Soul of the Country is often protected by the sharpest forces of each country, making it extremely difficult to obtain.
Moreover, there is a drawback.
Once protected by the Soul of the Country, even if one escapes the calamity, their cultivation may be lost, either half diminished or, in severe cases, the Dantian disappeared, becoming an ordinary person.
So.
The Soul of the Country is not the primary target of the world's superpowers; no one wants to become an ordinary mortal.
Thus, not many compete for the Soul of the Country.
Even if they do, it's just for an extra chance at survival, which isn't worthwhile for those top experts.
"So, that's it..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng finally understood why some people valued the Soul of the Country so much before; it turns out its power is so formidable that it can withstand the calamity!
"And then? Aren't there four points?" he continued to ask.
Qin's Mother went on: "Third, is to stop this calamity. It's been discovered that the entrance of the calamity is in the Vine Dragon Mountain region. If it can be stopped there, the world could be saved. However, how could those in the Lower Realm stop a calamity that even the Upper Realm fears? So this is considered very unreliable, and few want to get involved in organizing against the calamity in Vine Dragon Mountain."
"Vine Dragon Mountain?"
Qin Feng couldn't help but frown.
He never understood why the Holy Daughter of Xinghua Gully went to Vine Dragon Mountain, and later Mei Niang and Medicine King also said they went to Vine Dragon Mountain. He always wondered what was there.
It turns out it's the source of calamity!
Could it be that their visit there is related to the calamity?
"Fourth."
Qin's Mother continued, "This point is also one of the main reasons for the current world chaos, which is the competition for 'Sumeru Land'!"
"Sumeru Land?"
Qin Feng was puzzled.
He was aware of the term Sumeru.
He had also heard of Sumeru Land.
It's rumored that during the prosperous times of the Cultivation World, some Immortals could open up new territories and reshape small worlds, creating a Small World, which was called 'Sumeru Land.'
Similar to a Qiankun Bag and akin to his Nayu Ring, as well as Beast Shell.
Qin Feng also knew that such spaces indeed existed.
For instance, the often-discussed 'Kunlun Mist Cloud' is one such space.
"But, the known Sumeru Spaces aren't large, only suitable for a few top experts to contest over. Why have they become a target for world-class forces?" Qin Feng asked puzzledly.
"These Sumeru Lands are different." Qin's Mother explained, "They were created by those in the Upper Realm who came to the Lower Realm. Each Sumeru Land is at least as large as Hua Country's Capital. It might not hold too many people, but it's sufficient to protect a faction."
"That large??"
Qin Feng was astonished.
A Sumeru Land as big as Yanjing's Capital is exceedingly rare, even only mentioned in legends, no wonder there's a scramble for it!
Taking refuge inside, one could perfectly avoid the calamity!
So the fierce overseas competition was for Sumeru Land!
This time Qin Feng finally understood what was going on.
He knew the Five Great Generals of the Dragon Bureau, among others who were always overseas, and after the Kunlun battle, Red Moon, Zuoqiu Feng, and others were also sent overseas, certainly relating to Sumeru Land!
"By the way, these Sumeru Lands were created by people from the Upper Realm?"
Qin Feng asked curiously.
He recalled Purple Cloud Immortal who inherited immortal power; in the Upper Realm, they did not agree to transfer the calamity to the Lower Realm, and thus met a tragic end. Yet, her heart was kind, not imposing her disaster on others.
"Could it be those in the Upper Realm who created Sumeru Land are also benevolent, intending to help the Lower Realm people find refuge?" Qin Feng speculated.
"No."
Qin's Mother shook her head; her expression grew serious, as she said, "They only aimed for 'farming'!"
