At this moment, there were many people coming and going at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. These individuals had been following Chu Yang for the past few years, and now they had all gathered here to escort him.
They held Chu Yang in the highest regard.
Chu Yang glanced at these mortals and cultivators, and said calmly, "Today, I shall ascend Kunlun Mountain and forge my imperial heart with the supreme will of humanity!"
Chu Yang stood in this world, his figure not particularly tall, yet giving an extraordinary impression.
Despite being merely at the first stage of physical cultivation, he felt as though one were facing an Emperor.
A dream-like sensation filled everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Chu Yang seemed to have purified his soul and achieved the highest transcendence, as if a powerful Emperor had descended upon the heavens, exuding a pressure that shook the heavens!
The disciples who had been following Chu Yang wanted to accompany their master for the final stretch of the journey. However, as they approached Chu Yang, a terrifying pressure surged towards them like a tidal wave, sweeping over everyone.
The dreadful pressure caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and their souls to quiver.
Chu Yang emitted dazzling divine light, and no one could look directly at him. Under this overwhelming pressure, everyone fell to their knees, trembling uncontrollably on the ground like insignificant ants.
Each cultivator's heart was filled with fear.
Had their master become an Emperor?
Outside the Realm of the Heavenly Emperor
The cultivators could also sense the pressure conveyed by the Heavenly Emperor Mirror and perceive the situation at that time.
Their faces were filled with astonishment. The previous Emperor had merely been at the Supreme Realm, yet why had he now become so fearsome?
He even seemed to possess the might of an Emperor!
It was simply inconceivable!
The cultivators' gazes fell upon Kunlun Mountain.
Clearly, the key to this issue lay with Kunlun Mountain, which was steeped in mythological significance!
Some cultivators exclaimed in shock, "Does humanity possess such terrifying foundations?"
Many cultivators were visibly horrified, as this matter had clearly far exceeded their expectations.
Humanity had always seemed to them as a weak, insignificant group, posing no threat whatsoever.
Yet, Kunlun Mountain exuded such terrifying pressure.
Even they felt a chilling sensation all over their bodies and an overwhelming coldness in their hearts when sensing the pressure emanating from Kunlun Mountain.
At this moment, Nie Fengyun, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke, "Kunlun Mountain is the ancestral land of humanity. It is here that all of humanity's foundations originated."
"One could say that Kunlun Mountain gathers the will of all humanity, and even the will of the ancient sages who have long since passed away is condensed here on Kunlun Mountain."
"Thus, the pressure contained within Kunlun Mountain is incredibly formidable. Not only can mortals hardly withstand it, but even cultivators find it difficult to resist the pressure emanating from Kunlun Mountain. Climbing to the summit of Kunlun Mountain is an immense challenge!"
"This is merely the situation for humanity. If other races were to come to Kunlun Mountain, they would be crushed into powder by the accumulated will of humanity over countless ages in an instant."
"Even Emperor-level cultivators cannot withstand such a human will!"
"In this world, within the entire Three Realms, only humanity can ascend Kunlun Mountain, and one must reach the Emperor Realm to even have a chance!"
"Of course, even if one reaches the Emperor Realm, to truly stand at the pinnacle of Kunlun Mountain, one must endure the test of humanity's will. It would be no exaggeration to say that it's a matter of life and death. Only an Emperor of humanity can reach the top!"
Upon hearing Nie Fengyun's explanation, the cultivators were deeply shaken.
They never imagined that Kunlun Mountain had such a terrifying background.
If foreign Emperor-level cultivators came here, they would be directly annihilated.
It was terrifying!
For foreign races, Kunlun Mountain might truly be a forbidden zone!
Naturally, the cultivators also noted Nie Fengyun's words. Even for humanity, reaching the pinnacle of Kunlun Mountain required passing a significant test.
The most critical condition was still the requirement of being at the Emperor Realm.
How did the Emperor achieve the summit of Kunlun Mountain?
After all, according to their speculation, the Emperor's rise must be closely related to Kunlun Mountain.
Could the path he followed in humanity's way not have gained the recognition of the ancestral land?
However, after hearing Nie Fengyun's introduction to Kunlun Mountain, everyone felt it was incredibly hard to believe.
It seemed almost impossible!
Some cultivators couldn't help but speculate.
Could it be that the Emperor found it too difficult and thus chose to abandon humanity's way, switching to another cultivation system to achieve his status as an Emperor?
Such speculation was acknowledged by many cultivators.
After all, given the current situation, ascending Kunlun Mountain seemed nearly impossible!
All the cultivators focused their gaze on the figure within the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, seeking all the answers there.
Chu Yang now radiated a glow of rosy light, and atop Kunlun Mountain, it seemed as though the sounds of the Great Dao and divine music were constantly resonating, as if they were the ultimate truths of the world. Although the sound was not loud, it echoed throughout the entire Myriad Spirit Continent.
Thus, cultivators across the Myriad Spirit Continent turned their gazes toward Kunlun Mountain.
For humanity, Kunlun Mountain harbors the ancestral temple, containing untold secrets of humanity's history. Even the legacies of ancient sages might be hidden within this ancestral temple!
Throughout history, countless human cultivators have sought to reach the summit of Kunlun Mountain to explore its mysteries, but all have ultimately failed.
It was as though an unparalleled existence had placed a barrier on Kunlun Mountain, and unless one could突破 that barrier, reaching the top was absolutely impossible!
The disciples following Chu Yang were also well aware of Kunlun Mountain's mystery and power.
Yet, they had complete faith in their master.
At this moment, these disciples shouted toward Chu Yang's direction, "Farewell to our human Saint!"
"Farewell, Saint!"
Their farewells sounded like colossal waves crashing across the sky, shaking the heavens and earth.
Chu Yang turned back to bid them farewell, saying, "Everyone, you have worked hard along the way. Let us part ways here!"
With that, Chu Yang's gaze shone with boundless light, firmly fixed on the summit of Kunlun Mountain.
He took his first step onto the stone steps.
Thud!
With each step, Chu Yang's figure firmly landed on the first layer of the stone steps.
