“Buzz” Suddenly, Chu Feng’s brows furrowed and a touch of displeasure surged on his face, he actually felt a spiritual force that was observing his body.
Sensing this change, Chu Feng hurriedly turned his body around and cast that wary gaze behind him, only to find that an old man was flying in his direction since not far away.
This old man was actually a blind man, and although he could not see, he was dressed in a decent manner, not much in terms of splendour, but very neat and tidy.
His beard was not as long as his hair, but it was not too short, and it was also white as snow, very clean.
“Hehehe, young man, this is your first time coming to this Bloodless Sea, right?” This blind old man came in front of Chu Feng and asked with a smile, he had a cultivation level of the eighth level of Heavenly Martial, and was clearly a Realm Spirit Master.
And it was understandable that he could not see with both eyes and used his spiritual power to observe things, so Chu Feng did not blame him, but politely replied, “Back to senior, this is indeed my first time here, I wonder why this place is so special?”
“This place was formed a long time ago, there is no way to trace its exact origin, there are multiple versions, some say it was formed naturally, others say it was created by a strange object, but the version I like the most is a legend from the ancient times.” The blind old man stroked his snow-white beard and said rather smugly.
“Wow? What kind of legend is it, can senior tell my junior?”
Hearing the legend of the ancient times, Chu Feng was instantly curious, after all, the ancient times were a long time ago, tens of thousands of years away from today.
It was a time when martial cultivation had just become prevalent, but there were many strong people and demonic creatures, a time that was very different from today, a time that was mysterious and unpredictable, full of legends and myths.
It is said that at that time, all kinds of species were spread all over the world, and the heaven spread the martial cultivation method down to all creatures for them to understand, whether human, demon, animal or even plant.
With their great wisdom, humans quickly penetrated the martial cultivation method, gained access to the energy of heaven and earth, and became stronger than other species, and soon became the kings of the world.
However, together with humans, there is another species that is different from demon beasts, different from ferocious beasts, and different from wild beasts, which are no less intelligent than humans, and have a noble bloodline and love peace.
After they had learnt the martial art, they did not enjoy it alone, as humans do. They began to spread it to all kinds of creatures, and it has to be said that they have shaken the position of human supremacy, but humans do not dare to do anything to them, because it is said that they are far stronger than humans.
However, this powerful and noble species became extinct after the ancient times and never disappeared again, which is why they were called “ancient creatures”.
In short, there is a lot of mystery about those times, which has led to people nowadays being very curious about them.
Although it is difficult to tell the truth about that era, and most of the stories are myths and legends, people still like to inquire about those things from the ancient times, even Chu Feng is no exception.
“Hey, hey, this matter is a long story, it might turn your perception of the ancient times upside down, I’m afraid that even if I tell you, you won’t believe me and will think that I’m talking crazy.” The old man said with a smile.
“Things from the distant past have been around for a long time, so who can be sure of what is true and what is not?” Chu Feng laughed, then added, “Senior, but there is no harm in speaking, junior is willing to listen in detail.”
“Haha, not bad, you young man has some thoughts, since that is the case, then I can inform you.”
“It is said that in ancient times, it was the world of ancient creatures, because they were born knowing the cultivation method and were able to use the energy of heaven and earth for their own use, possessing incredible power, while humans, as well as other creatures, did not possess this ability.”
“So at that time, the ancient creatures were supreme, and they treated other species as slaves, as dolls, as pets, and because of their power, humans and other races could only submit and live a life worse than that of a pig or a dog under the intimidation of the ancient creatures.”
“But there were many people who were not willing to live like that all the time, and one of them was so clever that he was deliberately captured by the Ancient Ones to be their slave, but with his wit, he soon gained the Ancient Ones’ trust and became the servant of one of the Ancient Kings.”
“It was an incredible thing for a human being, in that period, to gain power and even to stand above many of the Ancient Ones, and it was all thanks to his wisdom.”
“But his wisdom was more than that, his ambition was more than that, he followed the Ancient King day and night, observed the Ancient King’s cultivation, and finally one day he penetrated the cultivation methods of the Ancient Beings and created a cultivation method, suitable for humans.”
“He began to cultivate in secret and soon acquired the power possessed by the Ancient Ones, and he also discovered another power, one that even the Ancient Ones had not acquired.”
“That is the power that can open the gates of another world and summon the creatures of that world, to it.”
“But this power, however, is not accessible to all, one must have a special method of communication, and the descendants call this method of communication spiritual power, and call this power the Art of Boundaries.” The old man said in a gruff voice.
“My goodness, then according to you, wouldn’t that person be the first person to create the method of cultivating martial arts, and the art of boundaries?” Hearing this, Chu Feng was shocked, for what the old man said was indeed very different from what he had heard before, and had indeed turned his perceptions upside down.
“Shhh, don’t interrupt, hear me out.” The old man put his finger in front of his mouth, signalling Chu Feng not to speak, and Chu Feng hurriedly quieted down and continued to listen intently.
“His power grew stronger by the day, and eventually, one day he was so powerful that he was above countless ancient creatures, and only the Ancient King could stand against him.”
“He wanted to put humans on an equal footing with the Ancient Ones, but naturally the Ancient King refused, and so an inevitable great war broke out.”
“Legend has it that the battle lasted for days and was truly dark, but in the end the Ancient King was defeated.”
When the Ancient King died, his blood poured out into the sea, but it refused to dissipate and fused with the sea, turning the sea into a blood-red colour forever.”
“But the man who defeated the Ancient King paid a price, one of his eyes was taken away by the Ancient King and could never be restored.”
