Chapter 471: Foundations
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Since ancient times, humans have never stopped their pursuit of a longer life. No matter if it was a rich businessman, a dominant ruler, or small tradesmen and menial servants, everybody wished to live a little longer.
Of course, those who had lost all hope in life and sought their own death did not count.
If one asked a billionaire who was on the verge of death whether they would be willing to give up all their assets for an extra 10 years of life, probably 90 percent of people would be willing to do the trade.
Ordinary humans were the most condemned bunch. No matter how healthily they lived, their lifespan was at the most slightly over 100. But cultivators were different; refining essence into Qi, and Qi into spirit, every breakthrough in cultivation would open a shackle on the mortal body, allowing the body to evolve to a higher level of lifeform, granting a longer lifespan and stronger powers.
After tasting the sweet benefits just once, nobody would be willing to give up this kind of opportunity. That was the reason that cultivators from all over the world had gathered together no matter their race and nationality.
On this day, the representatives of every country were having a meeting when the Hangu Pass started shaking.
This tremor was accompanied by a dragon’s roar, and felt like a dragon flipping its body. The evening sunset glow disappeared, and a thick layer of purple mist that covered the sky surged over!
This scene caused everyone to look up in shock before a great excitement seized them.
“Purple Qi from the East!”
“The legends are real!”
Seeing the boundless Purple Qi surging over, the entire Chinese group grew excited.
A terrifying suppresive pressure appeared as the Hangu Pass began to change. With rapid speed visible to the naked eye, it began to grow taller suddenly, to a point where the crowd could not even see its top!
Numerous fine cracks appeared in the sky above Hangu Pass. At this time, the space looked a cracked mirror.
In the moment that the transformation began, the satallites lost their signal. Nothing could be seen in the area of 20 li around Hangu Pass.
All the major powers of the world were keeping watch over the area. At the same time, large numbers of elite soldiers surrounded the area.
But although they could not wait to see the cancerous bunch go as soon as possible, everyone’s thoughts were still extremely complicated.
The world was huge, but Earth was only a tiny planet. There were simply too many people, and if these experts really left, did that mean that they could do the same as well?
At this time, Hangu Pass was already over several tens of thousand zhang tall. An all-suppressing aura hung around it as though it was a divine city!
“My calculations weren’t wrong! This is the place! Haha!
“Although my cultivation talent is poor, if this old one claims number two in terms of formation knowledge, no one alive would dare to claim first! It’s been 70 years, a full 70 years! As expected, this old one has not calculated wrongly!”
