《Overlord in Cultivation》C142. Holy Territory
Advertisement
"When you climbed out of the Coffin, I could see you aged too. The Snow Mountain closed directly, so Zu Yan and I came out again. As for the dragon, I never saw it."
"You aged. So did I. Zu Yan is the sole one who are young. But I have no idea how to get you out."
"Perhaps God blesses me. I thought I would guard the snow mountain somewhere and die of old age with you."
"Yet I didn't expect that I would get some opportunities and set foot on cultivation."
"Later, I met Zu Yan, who claimed he was able to open Snow Mountain. Despite his unreliability, he knew the civilization of gods and devils inside out. I could only stay and cultivate myself silently, hoping to really open it."
"Su Yan, I came across a woman today. Though she was masked, I could recognize her face which resembled the girl on the picture you showed me. She should be Su Bingshuang, and seemed to come for you."
"Finally, I saved you. Zu Yan's scheme didn't succeed and he even didn't know you were alive. And you became even younger, which was really unfair."
Words on the white cloth ended here.
Su Yan read these, again and again. Looking at Yin Yisi, he took a breath and said, "I will let you come alive. Unfading looks? Fine, there must be rejuvenation power in the civilization of gods and devils!"
After moving Yin to the Phoenix-Shaped Hairpin, Su gripped his hands tightly with violent mood swings.
He looked up to the sky, holding his head up.
He aged in the first sixty years of sleep in the Dragon Coffin.
Over the next 30 years he became younger, even returning to youth. The mighty power of Snow Mountain was beyond his expectation.
Su had thought it was the coffin that made him young again, but little did he know it was Snow Mountain.
But what was the Dragon Coffin? Why had he slept in it for 60 years?
It was exactly 60 years, which was fairly unbelievable.
After breathing deeply and suppressing his mood, Su Yan came to the fourth level!
"Three months. I can make it!"
Upon pushing the bronze gate, Su Yan seemed to break into an ancient world, and there came endless divine power of Tao!
"What's this?"
Su Yan's pupils were dilating, since he felt this was a small cosmos, suffused with suffocating power of Tao, encompassed by unfathomable divine energy of laws that entangled together and eventually turned into a sacred domain!
Compared with the rules in the sacred domain, those Su grasped was far overshadowed.
"Can this be the rule of opening the Sacred Door?"
Su Yan was surprised. The space of the fourth level was very amazing, like a real world, showing rules that were shockingly intricate and profound!

"No wonder that the senior said it is so difficult to complete the fourth level that it will take at least several years. It's never easy to get to know the rules inside!"
Su took a deep breath. The trial here was getting harder, as the core was realizing these laws and constructing the Sacred Door to enter Taoist Door Realm!
"The natural essence here is quite strong!"
Left overawed, he was shining all over as the pores actively absorbed the essence. Originally, Su was injured seriously with a huge loss of energy. Now, under the nourishment of the surging natural essence, his wounded body got repaired.
With his legs crossed, Su Yan took in the essence here to heal his wounds and immersed himself in meditation!
Gradually, Su emptied his mind and meditated on himself and Incipient Scripture!
Of course Incipient Scripture recorded a method for the creation of Taoist Door, so Su Yan began to study. The deeper the study was, the more he found the scriptures of Incipient Scripture and Holy Territory were somewhat the same!
"What's this?"
He was surprised and excited, because Incipient Scripture's Tao and law were very similar to the rules here. In this way, his grasp of rules would be greatly accelerated with the aid of Incipient Scripture.
Above all things, the scriptures were simplified by Holy Territory!
It suddenly led Su Yan to wonder what the relation between his ancestors and Trial Field was? Could they be the Earth's powerhouses?
"I shall open the Sacred Door within three months!"
"With the assistance from Incipient Scripture, I will speed up!"
Su discarded distracting thoughts. He took out a cattail hassock and sat on it, his whole body shining with bright radiance. At this moment he kind of incorporated himself into all Holy Territory.
"Zu Yan, I should really thank you."
There was a cold flash in Su Yan's eyes. The cattail hassock was terrifically precious. He had more confidence to complete the level!
Not hurrying to comprehend the rules, Su took out the hide manuscripts, one after another, that he had gained from Zu Yan's cultivation room, on which recorded some powerhouses' cultivation experience that was of great help to him.
"Time to begin."
Su Yan sank into the state of studying the scriptures on the manuscripts to apprehend Taoist Door Realm.
Time elapsed drop by drop.
Two months passed in the twinkling of an eye. The whole Huaxia Alliance was no longer calm, as the ten bases were in slight unrest. The vast wilderness region started to continuously spread the sky-splitting roar of beasts!
It was getting bigger and bigger, more and more astounding!
Ferociousness and madness pervaded the whole wilderness region; rocking the night sky with their roars, numerous wild beasts charged toward Huaxia Alliance aggressively!

"All on the alert!"
The increasing tension of war reigned the ten bases made of iron and steel!
Countless swords being unsheathed, the night sky was illuminated with trembling waves of energy spreading out!
"Kill!"
It was an unprecedentedly massive battle, befalling more quickly than Xia Ze and others had estimated. The ten bases were attacked by myriads of beasts with one demon lord aiming at each. Worse still, an increasing number of beasts were swarming to the ten bases.
.
Involved in the decisive battle, Huaxia Alliance was submerged by blood. This was a fight that no one could escape.
"Haha!"
Zu Yan's figure was partly visible in the beast army. On his forehead stood the miniature of an old man in a purple robe who said cruelly, "Even an ant can't be spared. I'll annihilate Huaxia Alliance completely! After I take over Su Yan's body, the whole Earth will belong to me!"
Full of greed in his eyes, the old man said with a cold voice, "Zu Yan, just rest in peace, for I'll take care of your body. I told you not to be avid, now you ate your bitter fruit. But I have to admit that you were right. If I had had such an amazing opportunity, I wouldn't be willing to give to the big shots in Zu Palace."
TN: Zu Palace is the clan that Zu Yan and Zu Kuiyuan belong.
Zu Yuankui recalled that the force where he belonged was a super power among the universe. The Zu Palace had been seeking for heavenly coffin on the newly awakened primordial life planet throughout long ages.
What was the heavenly coffin? Zu Yuankui had no idea. Given that the big shots in the Zu Palace had been coveting it for endless time, the Coffin was bound to be significant!
When crossing the universe with a warship, they were struck by universe windstorm. Consequently, Zu Yuankui's body was smashed and all other powerhouses alongside perished. Only Zu Yan, the core member in Zu Palace, was intact.
As a result, they came to the Earth.
But the Earth hadn't awakened back then, and their cultivation dispersed slowly due to the environment on Earth. Unwilling, they searched madly, hoping to find a way to leave.
They found Mount Everest, realizing some secrets in the snow mountain. They climbed many times, only to find noting.
Over 120 years ago, Mount Everest turned into blood overnight. They reached the top, but it was pity they got nothing at all.
Till now, the snow mountain began growing up automatically as if its life woke up!
"Su Yan, no matter what secrets you have, I will let you reveal them in a short time!"
Zu Yuankui grinned grimly. Having had huge influence in Huaxia Alliance at that time, they had in private investigated the people who had been to the mountain over that year, and Su Yan was noticed!
Zu Yan went to the mountain with Su before the Earth entered the civilization of gods and devils.
***
The battle was getting fierce!
Innumerable wild beasts rushed at Huaxia Alliance, aiming at destroying the bases!
It was simply universe doomsday when countless soldiers fought a bloody battle.
Thanks to Su Bingshuang, who opened the holy-level Taoist Doors, she rose to be the backbone of Hauxia Alliance.
Even a demon lord that had opened Taoist Door wouldn't be able to stir any trouble.
In Trial, Holy Territory, Su Yan had been in secluded cultivation for nearly a month.
His body was shining, in which chanting sounds were resonating, with every syllable being heartshaking like a mountain bearing down!
This was the rules' power and Su was making remarkable progress in the grasp of it!
His entire body was full of radiant traces of rules that became frightening as time moved on, as though a door of Tao was opened here!
Rumble!
When there between the heaven and earth reverberated sounds of forging iron, Su's Life Tripod rotated in the air, the scriptures and rules appearing on its body grew horrific as Su Yan got a deeper understanding of the rules. Then the tripod's divine energy boomed!
Su brimmed over with great power and massive vitality!
"Evolution!"
He took out Source Pen, his last resort of completing the level. With the rules of space it possessed, he could have further grasp of laws of nature for a moment!
It cost almost 3000 Essence Stones to evolve it successfully!
The newly evolved world of rules made Su Yan rapt in it. He seemed to be sublimed every day!
Now the airflows he emitted was so appalling that it led the Holy Territory to rumble and roar like chains of rules.
Ten days and nights passed, Su's eyes, like two lightning bolts, tore the space apart. His body was like a golden divine stove reaching heaven and earth, suffused with air of Great Tao!
Incipient Scripture, body and destiny spring could all be cultivated. Aided by Holy Territory, Su Yan deduced Incipient Scripture with his body scaling new heights.
When his body revived to the extreme, he seemed to have disappeared, incorporating himself into the domain!
"Base No. 9 was breached!"
"Su Bingshuang suffered severe attack and Zu Yan returned!"
Huaxia Alliance was soaked in uproar. Even though Su Bingshuang and others had taken precautions against Zu Yuankui's soul, she failed to prevent it and nearly perished in Base No. 9!

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
