A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 274 The Ignorant Natives Are Too Happy

The Great Western Barbarian Region, Shenluo Peak.

Above the peaks, shrouded in mist, stood a creature resembling an ape, clad in a long robe, standing respectfully on the cliff.

The clouds and mist sometimes coalesce into giant beasts, sometimes surge like turbulent river water, and sometimes wriggle like worms, mysterious and unpredictable.

The ape-like creature bowed respectfully to the clouds beyond the cliff. "Master, I have now completed the first part of the secret scroll. When can I begin the second part?"

The clouds and mist changed shape, forming a vortex. A scroll emerged from the spiraling vortex of clouds and mist and fell directly into the monkey's hand.

"Take it, this is the second part of the secret scroll."

A faint voice echoed from the churning clouds, its words seemingly possessing a mysterious magic.

Upon receiving the second part of the secret scroll, the monkey immediately and eagerly opened it.

But soon, the monkey's joyful and excited expression was replaced by disbelief and incomprehension.

When the scroll is opened, there is only a thin, transparent film, like water, with no words, no pictures, nothing at all.

"This...this is empty?!"

Suddenly, a look of realization appeared in the monkey's eyes, and he said, "I understand! Master, what you mean is that cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. No matter how strong one's power is, if one cannot control it, one will ultimately become a puppet of that power!"

With that, the ape bowed respectfully to the mysterious clouds and mist, saying, "This disciple has learned much!"

Just as it finished bowing, a gust of wind blew in its face, catching the unsuspecting ape off guard and knocking it over.

"You simply don't understand; your comprehension is truly poor." Such a reproachful voice echoed from within the clouds.

"Well……"

The monkey, blown over and covered in dust, looked bewildered and confused.

If the second part of the secret scroll wasn't meant to explain this, why is it empty, with no written record whatsoever?

The cloud of mist, condensed into a ferocious beast, emanated a faint voice: "Power is power. As long as it is something accumulated step by step, there is no reason why it cannot be controlled. The so-called loss is nothing more than the change of people's hearts."

"The second part of the secret scroll is not something so superficial."

Is this something superficial?

The monkey was even more puzzled; what was recorded in the second part of the secret scroll?

"Unfold the second part of the secret scroll and face that mountain and river."

Following the direction pointed to by the savage beast's claws formed from condensed clouds, the ape unfolded the second part of the secret scroll given to him by his master.

"Master, and then what?" the ape asked, looking at the clouds and mist.

The beast-shaped clouds returned to their churning state, like flowing river water, and a faint voice emanated from within, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Guided by its master, the monkey's gaze returned to the scroll. Through the flattened transparent film, a scene of swirling clouds and mountains came into view.

"I see mountains and rivers," the ape replied.

"Anything else?" the master asked.

The ape pondered for a moment, then continued, "Uh... there's also the sky and the earth."

"And then?" Master asked again.

"this……"

At this point, the ape could no longer answer. He had only seen these things; what else did he need to see?

"Stupid, utterly stupid. You are the worst disciple I have ever taught." The clouds churned as the unvarnished assessment was delivered, causing the ape to lower its head involuntarily.

The Master said, "The second part of the secret scroll records everything. It teaches us to borrow the power of all things and to understand the laws governing the movement of all things."

"Psionic cultivation cultivates oneself, but utilizes the power of heaven and earth. However, the power of psionic energy is finite, while the power of all things is inexhaustible."

"Once you understand the fundamental principles of the movement of all things, even if your psychic powers are stripped away one day, you will still be invincible in the world."

"But...but, with this method of memorizing the second part of the secret scroll, besides this principle, I can't learn anything more useful." The ape looked at the unfolded scroll in his hand with a troubled expression.

The reasoning is sound, but it seems to offer no help whatsoever to his spiritual cultivation.

The master said, "You fool, this is only the beginning of the second part of the secret scroll. The laws governing the movement of all things are so complex, how could they be fully recorded in this small scroll?"

"The rest of the second part of the secret scroll is placed on the bottom floor of the library. There, all the laws governing the movement of all things in the universe, as perceived by the patriarchs of all generations, are stored. In the future, you can freely enter and exit the bottom floor of the library by using the opening scroll of this second part of the secret scroll."

"But I hope you remember that the laws governing all things recorded in the library are not the whole picture. The whole picture exists in this world, and you still have to walk your own path."

Upon hearing this, the monkey excitedly replied, "Disciple understands!"

Although there are some parts that I don't understand yet, it doesn't matter. The monkey believes that he will gradually understand what his master said today in his future cultivation.

Just as the monkey was about to leave, the clouds and mist along the cliff edge suddenly became restless, changing more and more strangely and rapidly. The eerie voice, which had been calm and still, suddenly turned furious.

"No--!"

"Master, what's wrong?" The monkey stood anxiously on the edge of the cliff, looking at the churning clouds.

"It's over, everything is over."

Hearing his master's words, the ape was once again completely confused. What did he mean by "it's over"?

What's over?

Everything was fine just now?

How did it end so quickly?

"Master, what's over?" the monkey asked, puzzled.

"This world is doomed."

The swirling clouds, as always, answered all of its disciples' questions in a quiet, somber tone, yet could not conceal the sorrow, melancholy, despair, confusion, and lamentation that emanated from the depths of its heart…

On the invisible microscopic scale, there are countless media organisms surging like a tide, exploring, expanding, and endless.

Sometimes, not knowing anything can be a kind of happiness, can't it?

In the eastern region, there is the Suma Valley.

"Hmph! Who dares to spy on my peaceful cultivation!"

boom!

A thunderous roar echoed through the valley. The Suma Tower, which had stood firm through countless years of wind and rain, collapsed with a crash. A figure flew out of the tower and stood in mid-air, exuding a terrifying aura that made the disciples of the Suma Sect not dare to even breathe.

But none of the disciples of the Sumo Sect felt fear; they recognized the supreme being standing in the void.

This person was the strongest in the Eastern Region, a terrifying being known as the "Supreme Saint Venerable," and the founder of the Sumo Sect.

Legend has it that the Supreme Saint was born at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. He was fortunate enough to witness the great power of the Creator God in creating the world, and thus he comprehended the supreme and immortal divine power. With every move he made, the universe would turn upside down and the mountains and rivers would shake, just as if the true god were in the world.

In order not to affect anything in the world, he secluded himself at Suma Tower and stopped caring about worldly affairs.

Each of his actions brought about a cataclysmic change in the Eastern Region.
