C347 A Thousand Years

Outside the Heavenly Martial Continent was where the Hong family was located.

Hong Shan stared at the void with a gloomy expression.

"Patriarch, why did you keep holding back? Although we can't see through Qin Chuan's cultivation base, a tiger can't stand a pack of wolves." An old man said in a deep voice.

"No!" Hong Shan shook his head, "Even if all of us attack together, we are still no match for him."

"Qin Chuan is really that strong!" The old man still did not believe it.

There were thirteen Immortal Lord warriors on his side. Even a peak Immortal Lord warrior wouldn't be able to defeat them. At most, it would be a draw.

"You don't understand." Hong Shan said in a deep voice, "Qin Chuan's strength has already reached the Immortal Emperor realm, the leader is the Immortal Emperor."

"Immortal Emperor!" Hearing Hong Shan's words, the old man's pupils shrunk, and he retreated without saying anything.

Indeed, just like what Hong Shan had said, even if all 13 of them attacked together, they still wouldn't be a match for Qin Chuan.

The difference between Immortal Lord and Immortal Emperor wasn't made up by numbers.

"Patriarch, can we just let it go this time?" Another old man asked.

"Yes?" Hong Shan revealed a cruel expression, "Making our Hong family lose face. How can we just let this matter go like this?"

"When my dad comes out of seclusion, it will be the time for the Hong family to fight the Qin Empire."

"Old patriarch." Surprise flashed across the eyes of everyone in the main hall.

The previous patriarch of Hong family, Hong Lai, was the strongest person in the Hong family before his abdication. Furthermore, after ten thousand years of settling down, his cultivation base must be even higher.

Perhaps, he could really fight a decisive battle with Qin Empire after he came out of seclusion, and win back his face.

"What you need to do now is to keep an eye on the movements of all the major powers in the Heavenly Martial Continent. Report to me immediately if anything happens, especially the Qin Empire and the Essence Sect." Hong Shan ordered.

"Yes, patriarch." Everyone replied in unison.

In Essence Realm.

Qin Yuan's cultivation base was constantly improving under the stimulation of the immortal stone.

* Hong! *

Another loud sound was heard from Qin Yuan's body.

Human Immortal Realm.

That's right, this loud sound was the sound of Qin Yuan breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm.

It had only been a few days! At most, it would take him a month.

In a month's time, from the Martial Emperor realm to the Human Immortal realm, this was a huge leap. If news of this got out, it would definitely scare a lot of people to death.

It was because this cultivation speed had already overturned their understanding.

In their eyes, all immortals were powerful. Among the 100,000 cultivators, which was equivalent to a warrior, it was already very impressive for one of them to break through to the Martial Immortal, let alone a Human Immortal.

Even among the 100,000 Martial Immortal warriors, not a single one of them could break through to the Human Immortal realm.

However, Qin Yuan could become an immortal that was beyond their reach in just a month's time.

He believed that if this news spread out, Essence Sect would definitely be more popular.

Because the Immortal Realm was the realm that they wanted to reach, and the Essence Sect could help them fulfill this wish.

Qin Yuan didn't know that his cultivation base had already broken through to the Human Immortal Realm, and that he had broken through in such a short period of time.

Qin Yuan was as calm as an ancient well, and his mind seemed to have fallen into chaos, as if he didn't know the concept of time.

Time passed by. Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed just like that.

In these hundred years, a few major events had happened in Heavenly Martial Continent.

Firstly, the opening of the secret realm had attracted countless young experts. Unfortunately, this secret realm was only limited to the Martial Saint.

Naturally, the Essence Sect had sent people there as well, and all of them had gained something from it.

In just a hundred years, the number of Immortals in the Essence Sect had increased by more than two hundred.

The second matter was that there was someone in the Western Continent who was undergoing Heavenly Tribulation.

The person who was going through the tribulation was naturally someone from the Essence Sect.

That's right, the person who was facing the Heavenly Tribulation was Zhan Feng.

Ever since Zhan Feng obtained the Star Stone given by Xing Tong, he immediately went into seclusion to cultivate. He didn't even participate in the gathering of the Immortals in the Western Continent.

Finally, in these hundred years, his wish was fulfilled. He had cultivated to the Earthly Immortal Realm and accidentally attracted the Heavenly Tribulation.

The heavenly tribulation was a small matter to Zhan Feng. The key was that after the heavenly tribulation, he would be rejected by the rules of Heavenly Martial Continent.

However, since the beginning of the heavenly tribulation, if he didn't transcend it, he would die.

Zhan Feng had no choice but to do so. He shattered the heavenly tribulation with the 'War God Fist'. Initially, he thought that there would be an immortal light descending to receive his ascension.

However, after crossing the heavenly tribulation, there wasn't any immortal light. It was as if he didn't transcend the tribulation. The only thing he had was spiritual energy that turned into immortal energy.

This made Zhan Feng feel lucky. He didn't know whether it was because the rules of Heavenly Martial Continent were broken or because he was lucky enough to not be noticed by the Heavenly Martial Continent.

The third thing was the Sect Master meeting of the Artifact Sect.

The Great Elder of the Artifact Sect and the Sect Master of the Artifact Sect were competing for the new Sect Master of the Artifact Sect.

Both of them used all their means. However, the Sect Master was still a Sect Master after all, and it was still slightly superior to the Artifact Sect's Great Elder.

After this election, the internal strife in the Artifact Sect had finally come to a stop. The Artifact Sect's Great Elder had completely abdicated his position and retired, no longer participating in the matters of the Artifact Sect.

The fourth matter of the Heavenly Martial Continent was that the Zi family of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had once sent someone to the Eastern Continent. They had said that they wanted to find the princess and get married.

However, the moment they entered the Eastern Continent, they were stopped by the barrier set up by Xing Tong.

The people of the Zi family came like the wind and returned like the wind. They didn't even try to break the barrier, as if they didn't want to destroy it.

The fifth matter was the academy competition reported by the Heavenly Martial Academy.

The Essence Sect had also sent people to participate in the competition, and they were participating in it with the reputation of the Falling Cloud Academy.

Although the Falling Cloud Academy had become a part of the Essence Sect, it was still under the name of the academy, so it was naturally qualified to participate in the competition.

In the end, without a doubt, the Heavenly Martial Academy had given the Heavenly Martial Academy a fierce slap. With a decisive advantage, the Heavenly Martial Academy had defeated the other academies, including the Heavenly Martial Academy, and had become the second academy of Tianwu.

Although the Heavenly Martial Academy had lost, its foundation hadn't been damaged at all, and it had firmly established itself as the number one academy of Tianwu. Naturally, the Falling Cloud Academy had also become the number two academy.

In the past hundred years, many things had happened in Heavenly Martial Continent, but the most important thing was still these five things.

A hundred years had passed just like that, and two hundred years had passed just like that.

Three hundred years.

Four hundred years.

Seven hundred years!

Seven hundred years after Qin Yuan went into seclusion, the Essence Sect's strength had once again increased infinitely.

The number of Immortals had already exceeded three thousand. Among them, there were 1,500 Great Luo Golden Immortal, 500 Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, and 10 Immortal Lord.

The rest of them were below the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but compared to seven hundred years ago, their strength had increased by several tens of percent.

Eight hundred years.

The Essence Sect had nearly four thousand Immortals.

Nine hundred years.

The Immortals of the Essence Sect had broken through the barrier of five thousand.

One thousand years.

Qin Yuan had gone into seclusion for one thousand years!
