Chapter 79 - A Secret That Can Not Be Told

Charles, who was at the side, smiled bitterly and said, “My little ancestor, don’t make trouble.

“It’s not like you don’t know that the demon beasts of Dong Mountain are wild and savage. Do you still want to go alone?

“The situation in Dong Mountain is complicated.”

As Charles said, he could not help but take a deep breath.

It was as if he had thought of something terrifying.

He looked at Andrew. He wanted to explain, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.

Johnson, who was beside him, saw Charles’s expression and knew what was going through his mind. He said lightly, “Speak, it doesn’t matter. Andrew is now a seventh rank grandmaster. There are some things that he should know.”

Andrew listened to the conversation between the two and got some understanding. It was obvious that there was a secret in Dong Mountain that he did not know.

Sure enough, Charles continued.

“The original Dong Mountain was a wasteland. There were many wild beasts there. After the spiritual energy recovered, some kind of precious herbs should have been born in Dong Mountain. In a short period, a beast king at the Ultimate realm was born. This beast king had a mild personality. It did not fight with humans, but instead, it came to some kind of agreement.”

When Andrew heard this, he was shocked.

“An Ultimate level demon beast was born in the Great Dong Mountain?”

He came back to his senses and was full of doubts. He said in surprise, “Oh right, it has only been 20 years since the recovery of spiritual energy.

“In these 20 years, so many powerful demon beasts and human experts were born. Their cultivation speed is too terrifying.”

There were quite a few Ultimate human experts.

There were also quite a few Ultimate demonic beasts that were known.

It was understandable for there to be many Ultimate human experts.

This was because before the spiritual essence was restored, some human experts had already started cultivating martial arts.

After the spiritual essence was restored, one’s cultivation would explode within a short period, reaching the Ultimate state.

This made sense.

But what about demonic beasts?

Beasts evolved from animals and wild beasts.

Could it be that before the spiritual energy was restored, animals and wild beasts were also practicing?

This was obviously impossible.

“Didn’t your teachers teach you these things in school?”

Charles said.

Andrew was puzzled.

The things taught in school were the basics of practicing martial arts. Would they teach these profound things?

Not to mention high school, even university would not necessarily teach these things.

This was already classified information.

Johnson took over from the side and said with a smile, “Andrew is now a grandmaster. There is indeed no need to keep these things a secret from him.

“Andrew, you should know that the spiritual energy recovery began in 1999. But do you know why the spiritual energy recovery occurred?”

Andrew’s eyes lit up.

Johnson added, “Actually, this is not a big secret. You should have heard of the Hollow Earth theory, right?”

Hollow Earth theory?

What was this thing?

Never heard of it.

However, Andrew had heard of the theory that the core of the Earth was full of magma.

Charles saw that Andrew did not understand, so he explained, “This theory actually says that the center of the Earth is hollow.

“Moreover, the hollow part is not actually empty, but there’s a world like the surface. There are flowers, grass, and creatures.

“On the surface of the earth, there are entrances that can reach the Earth’s core. Those who find these passages can enter the Earth’s core…

“Someone even said that the passage to the Earth’s core is at the north and south poles. It is called the Earth’s core passage.”

Hearing this, Andrew recalled that he seemed to have seen similar movie clips in the movies.

“I’ve seen some novels and movies based on the Hollow Earth theory, but what’s the connection between the spiritual energy recovery and the Hollow Earth theory?”

Facing Andrew’s question, Johnson said lightly, “The Hollow Earth theory is true!

“There is indeed life on the core world!”

Johnson said seriously.

“However, the Earth’s core is not inside the earth, but… it’s another world.

“Another space.

“And the passage between the Earth’s two poles has also been proven to lead to that world!

“We call that world… Divine Realm!”

Andrew was speechless when he heard that.

Divine Realm?

“That’s not right. If the passage between the Earth’s two poles really exists, then it must have existed for a long time. Why did the spiritual energy recovery only begin in 1999?”

Johnson shook his head and said, “I don’t know the specific reason. I only know that around 1999, there were suddenly some world entrances on earth. A large amount of cosmic energy spread out from these world entrances.

“There were even some pieces of flesh and energy that were spurted out.

“The humans and demon beasts lucky enough to obtain these pieces of flesh and energy either exploded due to the impact of the powerful energy or… in a short time, their cultivation increased greatly, and they reached the Ultimate level!”

“Some Ultimate experts suspect that a great battle happened within the Divine Realm, tearing apart space and causing the birth of these world entrances!”

…

The Hollow Earth theory.

The Earth’s core world.

The Divine Realm?

A great battle between experts, breaking through space?

Andrew was stunned as he listened. It was as if he was listening to a fairy tale. His entire body stood in place, stunned for a long time.

This story was too much like a novel.

It was a little unreal.

“I thought that after I reached the peak of the Qi Formation realm and condensed the golden core, I would be invincible in the world. But now it seems that… I still have to continue cultivating!”

Andrew thought and secretly set a goal for himself.

At the same time, another question popped up in his mind.

“Right, Chief Johnson, why are those world entrances called world entrances?

“Could it be that someone inside can come out?”

Johnson nodded.

But after a moment, he shook his head again. “There’s no way to prove this.”

“However, some Ultimate-level experts have tried doing so. It’s very difficult for living beings to pass through these new world entrances. The energy inside is violent, and there’s even the power of shattered space. Even Ultimate-level experts will die immediately if they accidentally touch it.”

He paused for a moment. “However, the Holy Land also has world entrances, and they are passable. It’s probably because the new world entrances aren’t stable enough.”

Hearing this, Andrew frowned.

Why did another “Holy Land” appear?

“Holy Land… actually existed before the spiritual essence was awakened. In ancient times, many myths and legends actually evolved from the Holy Land.”

Johnson explained, “These Holy Lands control the Heavenly Passage Realm. We suspect that the so-called Heavenly Passage Realm is actually another space opened up in the Divine Realm.”

“Interesting.” Hearing this, Andrew became excited.
