Nine Regions Sword Emperor

Chapter 6992 The Sacred Land of the Rock People
The rock people living in the Gobi Desert don't have much interaction with the outside world on a daily basis.

Furthermore, during the Other Shore Era, due to the ancient war, the relationship between human warriors and other races was not harmonious.

Fortunately, the resources needed by the Rock People are somewhat different from those needed by human warriors, so the two sides will not fight each other over resources.

Therefore, the Rock People are one of the more surviving races among the many alien races of the Other Shore Era.

If it weren't for this trip, Elder Baiyang would have brought Chu Fengmian to this White Plains Gobi Desert.

It's hard to imagine that the Rock People tribe lives deep underground in this white Gobi Desert.

As for Elder Baiyang's identity, Elder Baiyang did not hide anything when Chu Fengmian asked him, and explained it directly.

Elder Baiyang was indeed a Rockman, but unlike other Rockmen, he had no Rockman characteristics from birth. Instead, he resembled a human martial artist.

Among the Rock People, Elder Baiyang is an exception. It can only be speculated that perhaps one of Elder Baiyang's ancestors was a human martial artist, and as a hybrid of the Rock People and a human martial artist, he inherited the human characteristics.

However, Elder Baiyang's bloodline and his innate ability to manipulate rock and soil are no different from those of the true Rock People.

It was precisely because Elder Baiyang's status among the Rock People was extremely special that, for various reasons, Elder Baiyang did not choose to live like other Rock People in the underground palace of the White Plains Gobi Desert.

Instead, he chose to go to the outside world, to the human world. Not long after Elder Baiyang left the White Plains Gobi, he unexpectedly encountered the Pill Emperor.

Because of Elder Baiyang's exceptional talent in alchemy, he was taken in as a disciple by the Pill Emperor and brought to the Pill Valley. Under the Pill Emperor's tutelage, he continued to grow and has reached his current level.

"Without my master, I wouldn't be who I am today."

Elder Baiyang couldn't help but sigh and say.

It was because he was taken in as a disciple by the Pill Emperor that he became who he is today, with his mastery of alchemy unparalleled in the world. Even within the Pill Valley, few can compare to him in alchemy.

Furthermore, due to his mastery of alchemy, Elder Baiyang accumulated immense wealth. Although he was not skilled in cultivation, his vast wealth and elixirs enabled him to reach the realm of a transcendent king-level cultivator.

However, his strength only goes so far. The Great Emperor realm is not a realm that can be reached by external means.

Elder Baiyang recounted that Chu Fengmian would occasionally ask him a few questions he was concerned about, such as the Rock People race and some things in the Other Shore Era.

The two chatted like this, and soon Elder Baiyang led Chu Fengmian to a spacious courtyard, which was much larger than the other courtyards.

Stepping into the courtyard, one sees a feast of fruits and wine already prepared on the stone tables.

Because the Rock People are born with the ability to manipulate rock and soil, almost everything in this palace is made of rock and soil.

"Welcome, Emperor of Absolute Sword."

Na Yanman waited at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw Chu Fengmian arrive, he smiled and welcomed him.

It seems that Elder Baiyang must have said something to him, which is why Yan Man's attitude towards Chu Fengmian has improved a lot.

Chu Fengmian exchanged a few casual pleasantries with the other party, and then the two sat down together.

Besides Elder Baiyang and Yan Man, there were also several martial artists from the Yanren clan present at the banquet. Upon seeing Chu Fengmian's arrival, they all stood up to greet him.

After drinking, the two chatted casually.

What he said was just a polite remark.

"I wonder which sect or school the Great Sword Emperor came from? Although my Rock People clan has lived underground for a long time, we still know a little about the outside world, but we have never heard of the Great Sword Emperor." After a few rounds of drinks, Yan Man suddenly looked at Chu Fengmian and asked.

"Humans are truly a chosen race, with powerful figures like rain and emperors like clouds... In just a few decades, earth-shattering changes have occurred."

His tone was tinged with a sense of regret.

In the other world era.

Human martial artists are the absolute overlords.

Above all other races.

A powerful race like the Feathered Clan can fight against human warriors, but that's only enough to protect themselves; they're far from being able to confront human warriors head-on.

Even the strongest of the alien races, the Feathered Clan, acted in this way, while the Rock People, facing these human warriors, actively avoided their sharp edge and hid underground.

"He belongs to no sect or school, and has been in seclusion for a long time, unknown to the outside world."

Upon hearing Yan Man's question, Chu Fengmian calmly answered, while simultaneously raising his cup and downing the wine in one gulp.

Then Chu Fengmian looked at Yan Man and spoke.

"It seems you all have something to discuss with me?"

When Chu Fengmian arrived at the banquet, Yan Man hesitated to speak, which is why he kept rambling on and on.

Since that's the case, Chu Fengmian decided to get straight to the point.

"As expected, you can't hide it from your senior."

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian speak, Elder Baiyang, standing to the side, also revealed a somewhat awkward smile.

"Since you've seen through me, senior, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Our Rock People clan has something we'd like to ask you for help with."

"What's the matter."

Chu Fengmian spoke calmly.

He didn't choose to agree directly, after all, it was a trivial matter that the entire Rockman clan found troublesome and impossible to handle, and that required the help of an outsider like Chu Fengmian.

Elder Baiyang exchanged glances with the surrounding Rockman warriors before speaking.

"Please follow me, senior."

After speaking, Elder Baiyang stood up, and the other Rock People warriors also stood up and followed behind him.

Surrounded by a group of Rock People warriors, Chu Fengmian crossed the courtyard. Beyond the courtyard lay a vast open space, or rather, a boundless mountain range. The majestic mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, their peaks almost touching the tops of the earth.

It occupies a vast area of ​​this underground world.

Led by Elder Baiyang, Chu Fengmian arrived at a platform. This platform was a huge stone millstone, which looked incredibly ancient and was covered with countless characters that Chu Fengmian had never seen before.

At the center of the millstone, a long sword pierced straight into the millstone, leaving only half of it sticking out.

"This is the sacred land of our Rock People clan. It was sealed away by a powerful being because of a great battle."
