Fabricating myths, starting with the creation of eight fictional ancient tribes

The village guardian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of mist.

It landed on a dead old locust tree.

"Who's stronger or weaker is none of my business."

His voice was flat and emotionless.

"This issue has nothing to do with you right now."

He gently waved his sleeve, and an invisible, gentle force surged forth.

That power, though seemingly gentle, contained an irresistible force of law.

The four prodigies standing at the edge of the forbidden area were forcibly pushed back hundreds of meters.

"Want to know the answer?"

The village keeper turned around, his cloudy eyes sweeping indifferently over the crowd.

"When you break through to the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage,

"Come ask me again once you've truly grasped the threshold of immortality."

The words fell.

He said no more, turned and walked away.

The figure gradually disappeared behind them, into the perpetual black mist.

Only a vague sentence remains, echoing between heaven and earth.

"One must become an immortal to enter the desolate and forbidden land."

"That's the rule."

With the disappearance of the village guardian, the deserted village returned to its former desolation.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

The four prodigies stood still for a long time.

The double pupils in Xiang Long's eyes flickered with light.

In the end, it all turned into a long sigh.

"Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao..."

He murmured those four words to himself, a self-deprecating smile curving his lips.

"So, in the eyes of true power, we are..."

Not even a beginner?

Shi Yi put away his halberd.

Even his eyes, which could see through the yin and yang, now revealed a hint of confusion.

"One cannot enter without becoming an immortal."

Shi Yi looked at the Myriad Laws Mind Monkey beside him.

"It seems that the master of this desolate forbidden land, or rather, the one who set these rules, is..."

He truly is a celestial being standing atop the Great Wilderness.

Wanfa Xinyuan scratched the golden fur on his body in frustration.

Although it is unruly, it also knows what insurmountable mountains are.

"Let's go."

It shouldered the black iron rod, and a fierce light rekindled in its eyes.

"Since we can't get in here, let's go and capture that escaped divine phoenix!"

"Eat it, and I can become an immortal too!"

The four figures exchanged a glance, though hostility still lingered between them.

But at this moment, they tacitly chose to temporarily cease hostilities.

They transformed into four streaks of light, heading towards the direction where the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality had disappeared.

They sped away.

Beyond the Qinling Mountains, the online world was already in an uproar.

The discussion about the last few words spoken by the village keeper

The hype instantly soared to the sky.

A seasoned expert with the ID "Kunlun Sanren",

I posted a long science popularization post on the forum, and it was immediately pinned to the top.

The Ultimate Demystification of Cultivation Realms: The Gap Between Mortals and Immortals

"Gentlemen, today the village keeper's words..."

This completely exposes the veil covering up the true nature of cultivation.

"The currently accepted cultivation system is divided into four major realms."

"First Realm: Refining Essence into Qi. This is currently the stage for a lucky few who have awakened."

"Transcending the mundane, ordinary firearms pose no threat to experienced Qi Refining cultivators."

"Second Realm: Refining Qi into Spirit. No one has ever seen anyone at this realm, so it is impossible to judge their strength."

"The third realm: Refining the spirit and returning to emptiness. This is the realm reached by those ancient, resurrected great beings."

His every move could trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth; his personal power far surpassed that of nuclear weapons.

"The fourth realm: Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao. This refers to beings like Ji Dao and Shoucunren, who have already touched the edge of immortality."

"Only by breaking through to the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage again can one truly become an immortal!"

After reading this science article, countless netizens fell silent.

A deep sense of powerlessness spread through everyone's hearts.

"Turns out we didn't even figure out the first level."

People are already discussing the fifth realm.

"Is this the difference between mortals and immortals?"

"Just how deep are the mysteries of this vast wilderness?"

People's understanding of that mysterious "Great Wilderness"

It was filled with unprecedented curiosity and awe.

……

The departure of these exceptional talents did not quell the situation in the Qinling Mountains.

Instead, it became even more bizarre.

Many powerful figures who had been lurking in the shadows began to whisper among themselves.

The spearhead was aimed directly at Bai Xin, the arrogant descendant of Bai Qi.

"Hmph, what a piece of trash, I think he's out of his mind."

An old woman with a wrinkled face, leaning on a cane, said in a sinister tone.

"If it weren't for that slap he just gave, which sent the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality flying,..."

We don't need to search the whole world now.

A middle-aged cultivator next to him sneered, his eyes full of mockery.

"He doesn't have the ability, but he insists on showing off."

"You dare to brandish your sword at the village guards?"

"Does he really think he's the same Bai Qi, the god of slaughter from back in the day?"

Even if Bai Qi were to be resurrected, back when he reached the gates of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land...

They stopped respectfully, not daring to cross the line.

"How dare he, a mere junior relying on his family's influence, spout such nonsense here?"

Although no one dared to say these words to Bai Xin's face,

But within the circle of powerful figures, Bai Xin has become a laughing stock.

In an era of great contention, extraordinary talents emerge in great numbers.

But how many people can truly be invincible and win people's respect?

In the days that followed.

The famous mountains and rivers of the Great Xia suddenly became lively.

Countless terrifying auras swirled through the clouds, deep valleys, and dense forests.

Those were powerful beings searching for traces of the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality.

For this miraculous medicine that can defy fate,

Many ancient monsters that had been dormant for countless years have awakened.

Some made a high-profile debut, wielding thunder and lightning to announce their return.

Some keep a low profile, disguise themselves as ordinary people, and mingle in the streets and alleys.

On the internet, rumors about "immortals" appearing in various places are emerging one after another.

"Golden light is flashing on the summit of Mount Tai, suggesting someone is undergoing tribulation!"

The Yellow River stopped flowing for ten minutes.

Someone saw a giant walk across the bottom of the river!

"The water in Changbai Mountain's Tianchi Lake is boiling; legend has it that a dragon is emerging from the water!"

These news items have left Chinese netizens both excited and nervous.

Everyone realized that a magnificent mythological era was about to begin.

It has truly arrived in full force.

The Qinling Mountains, the epicenter of the storm, have now become a desolate wasteland.

Because of the clash between the five prodigies and the powerful beings,

The laws governing heaven and earth here have undergone a drastic change.

In the void, the domineering spear intent of Xiang Long and the Yin-Yang Fire Poison of Shi Yi remained.

There is also the violent demonic aura of the Myriad Laws Mind Monkey.

These auras intertwined, forming countless natural killing formations.

The once lush and verdant mountains and forests are now filled with a gray, deathly aura.

If an ordinary person were to mistakenly enter into it...

You don't need to encounter any monsters, just come into contact with those lingering auras.

It will turn to ashes in an instant.

Although the state immediately sealed off the area surrounding the Qinling Mountains,

A long cordon was set up.

But there are always some fearless people who try to achieve instant success.

"Family members! Tonight, the host will take you on a nighttime exploration of the Qinling Mountains!"

"Forbidden area? It's all just a scare tactic!"
