810: C810 The Sprint Before the War

C810 The Sprint Before the War

When he returned to Xing River City, Lu Chong discovered that this place was much more desolate than it was more than two thousand years ago.

Both inside and outside of Xing River City were solemn, and the number of experts had also decreased by more than half.

However, Lu Chong was not surprised. Over the years, he had gained some understanding of the situation through the virtual world and had some expectations of the current situation.

Although the war between the two great alliances had yet to fully begin, the conflict between the two sides had already gradually intensified.

Therefore, as more and more experts from both sides entered the battlefield, the number of people remaining near the Xing River City decreased.

Of course, the number of experts that died on the battlefield wasn't small either.

According to Lu Chong's knowledge, the creatures who had entered the Alliance Battlefield at the moment could indeed be considered experts of a region, at least at the Dao Mountain Stage.

"Senior brothers and sisters have also gone to the battlefield of the alliance." Lu Chong was secretly worried.

In such a large battlefield, even those at the Dao Ocean Stage would find it difficult to retreat safely. He only hoped that his senior brothers and sisters would be as careful as possible.

Fortunately, his master did not make a move, and Lu Chong was about to pay his respects to Sovereign Yu Mian right now.

It wasn't just Sovereign Yu Mian. The twenty Sovereigns of the two alliances had not entered the battlefield yet.

Once the Sovereign went into battle, it meant that the curtains of the decisive battle were about to be drawn.

Lu Chong had been puzzled recently, and he did not know why the two great alliances had to start a war.

Furthermore, this kind of large-scale war had a pattern, and would happen almost every hundred thousand years or so.

He had also asked Senior Brothers Hong Yu, Chang Yanxing, and the others, but the answer he got was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Some said that it was to resolve the tensions between the two alliances, while others said that it was to fight for territory and resources.

But in Lu Chong's opinion, this kind of great war did not seem to be able to solve such a problem fundamentally.

With some confusion, Lu Chong met his master at the peak of Jade Crown Mountain.

"You broke through?" Jade Crown's voice was still calm.

However, what Lu Chong did not know was that his master's heart was not calm at this moment.

In more than two thousand years, Lu Chong had broken through to the Dao Ocean Stage, and his progress was something that even Sovereign Yu Mian did not expect.

Comprehending a Dao tablet was not just talk.

How many geniuses were stuck at this step and would never be able to cross it in their entire lives?

Lu Chong, on the other hand, continued to break through steadily, as if he only needed a short period of accumulation to succeed.

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has already reached the Dao Ocean Stage." Lu Chong said respectfully.

"Very good." It was rare for Jade Crown to praise him, "Your current strength should be about the same as your Eldest Senior Brother."

"However, Master doesn't suggest that you go to the Alliance Battlefield right now," Jade Crown said.

Lu Chong was puzzled: "Why is that?"

Sovereign Yu Mian said indifferently: "The Alliance battlefield is a killing field. Once you enter, it's hard to say whether you will live or die."

"Your Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters have all reached a bottleneck. You can only break through in the Alliance battlefield."

"But you're different. You still have a lot of potential to explore."

"The best time to enter the battlefield is when you reach that step," Jade Crown Sovereign said.

Lu Chong did not question him anymore, and said: "I will follow your orders."

"Disciple still has one more thing that I do not understand, please enlighten me, Master." Lu Chong continued.

"Tell me about it." Sovereign Jade Crown said.

Lu Chong raised the question in his heart, "Why must the two great alliances wage war, and even sacrifice many lives at the cost of causing both sides to suffer?"

When Jade Crown heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "If I say that it's for the sake of territory and resources, and to resolve the accumulated conflicts between the two sides, you shouldn't be satisfied, right?"

Lu Chong replied in silence, tacitly agreeing to his master's words.

Sovereign Yu Mian continued: "That's right, the war between the two great alliances has been going on for a long time, and it will continue for a long time. There is indeed a deeper reason behind this."

"However, I can't tell you right now."

"When will you be able to stand at the same height as me and resolve your confusion?" Jade Crown said in a vague tone.

"Yes, Master." Lu Chong did not ask any further.

"For the rest of the time, you can stay on Mount Yu Mian to comprehend the Dao and cultivate."

Sovereign Yu Mian warned, "When it's time for you to fight, I will naturally wake you up."

"You can leave now."

Lu Chong left the mountain peak as he was told. Although the confusion in his heart was still unresolved, he was not in a hurry.

Lu Chong felt that he might not need too long to reach his master's height.

...

"This child has already truly grown up."

After Lu Chong left, the voice of the Jade Crown Sovereign reverberated on the mountain peak, but it did not reach the ears of the second person.

"In this battle, I'm afraid that even a few Sovereigns will die. I can be considered to have a successor, so I can fight it out with those old fellows."

...

After Lu Chong left the peak of the mountain, he once again returned to the desolate mountain path.

"As expected, the Tao technique that I cultivate is already very difficult to benefit from here." Lu Chong thought to himself after carefully experiencing it.

On the way up Mount Yu Mian, the highest level of the Tao technique was only at the peak of the Ninth Level of Hai Ming, and the Tao technique that Lu Chong cultivated had already broken through to the Tenth Level of Hai Ming.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for him to continue using the path up the mountain to speed up the breakthrough of these Dao laws.

Not only the mountain path, but even in the entire alliance, it was difficult for Lu Chong to find a place to help him break through.

Because there were simply too few experts in the Dao Ocean who could cultivate their Dao Arts to above the Tenth Rank.

And there were even fewer people who cultivated the same Dao Arts as Lu Chong.

Just how rare were experts like the Ten Supreme Masters?

"However, it's a good thing that I still have the Myriad Manifestation River, I can use it as a reference..." This was one of Lu Chong's greatest reliance.1

There were many Primal Chaos Inscriptions on the Myriad Manifestation River, and even at Lu Chong's current level, they could still assist his cultivation.

"I can also continue to cultivate other Tao techniques on the path of the mountain, and at the same time, borrow the visualization diagram of Xing He City to comprehend the Dao."

"I believe that when I reach the peak of the Dao Ocean Stage, it will be the day that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with a supreme being." Lu Chong thought confidently.

In the following period of time, Lu Chong spent all his time cultivating on Mount Yu Mian and comprehending the Dao Monolith Visualization Diagram.

Although he had already stepped into the Dao Ocean Stage, his progress was still impressive. Every day, he steadily advanced and became stronger and stronger.

It was not an illusion. He could see the improvement through the data on the interface.

The battle on the Alliance battlefield became more and more intense. The experts on the War Board Ranking kept changing, and the number of fallen experts kept on increasing.

However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Chong. He only needed to concentrate on his cultivation.

Until one day more than three thousand years later, a voice suddenly sounded in Lu Chong's ears, "Disciple, when the time is right, you can leave the mountain."
