NOVEL NEXT Chapter 275: 5th Era: Dao Sea Wuya, My Dao is Not Alone!
Ancient Forbidden Land.
Lu Yuan and the Ancient Abyss sat facing each other at a stone table at the village entrance.
On the simple stone table was a pot of hot tea and two cups.
Meanwhile, the villagers kept glancing at Lu Yuan, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Since the fall of the Heavenly Dao, the Ancient Survivors had isolated themselves from the world and had not interacted with the outside for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Is this person from outside?"
"Isn't it said that there are many prohibitions outside the Forbidden Land, extremely dangerous? How did he get in?"
"But this person looks refined, a scholar at first glance. Old Li, why don't you keep him here to be Hu Niu's husband?"
"Damn your nonsense! My Hu Niu is only six years old, and you dare think about her?"
A burly man, hearing this, became furious and immediately wrestled with another strong man.
"Hu Niu, your dad is fighting with Monkey's dad again, saying he wants to marry you off!"
The surrounding children were not afraid but rather joined in the uproar.
"Enough!"
"You're both fathers now, fighting in front of the children. Aren't you ashamed? Even I'd feel embarrassed!"
Just as the two men began brawling, their robust wives each hit them hard on the head.
Then, grabbing them by the ears like little chicks, they dragged them back.
"Friend Lu, please have some tea."
The Ancient Abyss Race Leader picked up the teapot and poured Lu Yuan a cup of hot tea.
The tea was clear with an overwhelming fragrance.
Just a whiff of its aroma made Lu Yuan's Immortal Divine Embryo become more active.
"Could this be tea plucked from the Enlightenment Tree?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
The Enlightenment Tree has extraordinary origins, a renowned Immortal Divine Medicine from ancient times.
It possesses the miraculous effect of instant enlightenment and ascension upon scent.
As Lu Yuan spoke, his gaze carefully surveyed the village.
Not looking was fine, but a glance startled him.
Because this seemingly unremarkable village was actually filled with treasures!
An old man's ordinary axe for chopping wood surprisingly had dao patterns flowing on its surface.
This was evidently a Heaven-Opening Divine Axe comparable to an Unparalleled Divine Weapon!
And a villager's water jar at the door, seemingly only waist-high, contained water that seemed endless and inexhaustible.
No matter how much water the villagers drew, the jar was always full.
As for the old yellow ox grazing by the paddy field.
It was famously a pure-blooded alien species, the Ancient Barbarian Ox.
Even the old hens seen everywhere in the village possessed a trace of True Phoenix Bloodline!
Seeing this, Lu Yuan fell silent.
Although the Ancient Relic Race was simple in folkways, their power was terrifyingly strong.
A random burly man might easily be able to trample a Holy Land!
However, this was reasonable.
Only such earthly paradises could nurture unparalleled beings like the Dao Ancestor.
"Friend Lu, to be honest, the Dao Ancestor truly was an Ancient Survivor, but he belonged to the Dao Race and had little to do with our Ancient Race."
As if seeing through what Lu Yuan was thinking, the Ancient Abyss Race Leader candidly stated.
After his explanation, Lu Yuan came to understand.
Though the Ancient Relic Race was isolated from the world, teleportation arrays were set up among the major forbidden lands, and they often exchanged resources.
According to the ancient village records.
After the battle against Heaven.
To protect all beings, the Heavenly Dao Residual Thought created the five Forbidden Lands as a last resort.
And the creatures within these lands, after hundreds of thousands of years of breeding, gradually formed their own tribes.
Thus they were also called the Five Relic Races by some Venerables from the outside world.
The Ancient Race remained at peace with the world, barely contacting the outside, maintaining their traditional farming and weaving lifestyle.
Therefore, their population was the smallest, and their power the weakest.
Even after countless ages, only five Ancient Venerables survive today.
Upon mentioning this, the Ancient Abyss Race Leader's expression was somewhat ashamed.
But if this were heard by outside cultivators, they might be enraged to vomiting blood.
What do you mean only five!
Outside, any faction with even one Venerable could be called an Immortal Sacred Land.
Yet the Ancient Race had five Venerables coexisting and still felt ashamed?
However, Lu Yuan did not find this surprising.
Because the Ancient Forbidden Land was quite special, the Heaven and Earth Laws and living conditions here remained consistent with ancient times.
This meant that.
Even if the Ancient Race Venerable was powerful, their lifespan was only tens of thousands of years at most.
Moreover, with the Ancient Race's people living simple farming lives, showing no cultivation traces.
Being able to produce five Venerables in such a world was already an unbelievable miracle.
As for the Dao Race mentioned by the Ancient Abyss, it was the strongest among the Five Relic Races.
They revered the Heavenly Dao, loved studying the mysteries of the universe, and were naturally gifted with exceptional comprehension.
And the Dao Ancestor was the most astonishingly talented figure in the history of the Ancient Survivors.
Before entering the world, his unmatched stance already made him famous among the Ancient Survivors.
Once in the world, he swept all Venerables of the same realm undefeated.
Singlehandedly quelled the dark chaos, leaving the Dark Alien Race restless and unable to cross the World Gate for hundreds of thousands of years.
"His real name is long lost, for he was born of the Dao Race, people revere him as the Dao Ancestor."
"However, even the Heaven can fall, and beings as mighty as the Dao Ancestor cannot withstand the erosion of time."
The Ancient Abyss Race Leader sighed.
After a brief conversation, Lu Yuan discovered how different the Ancient Race was from other cultivators.
Most cultivators regard the pursuit of immortality as their life's goal, willing to sacrifice everything for it.
