Chapter 416: The Terrifying Great Xia—The Most Brutal Human Race Branch Emerges
The brows furrowed, revealing a hint of confusion and discontent.
A strong individual couldn’t help but voice their skepticism.
"What exactly is this? Such a curious yet seemingly useless object!"
"We need solid evidence. What significance is there in showing us these mundane images of the world?"
The words carried a deep disdain for the scene before them.
Of course, a small number were somewhat touched.
Especially when they saw the happy smiles and relaxed appearances of the Great Xia people’s faces, something the mainline human race’s lower class had never possessed.
Meanwhile, the stewards expertly and steadily operated the projector, and the flowing images on the screen reflected the everyday life in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Simultaneously, the three spoke in a calm and wise tone.
They meticulously interpreted the deeper meaning behind each image for the many powerful figures present.
"Everyone, please look, this is the real-life scenario of ordinary citizens of the Great Xia Kingdom."
"They lay a solid foundation before the critical age of fifteen."
"Whether it’s daily exercise or basic martial arts theory learning, it’s all to better pursue higher-level cultivation in the future."
"Once they pass fifteen, their life officially enters the path of cultivation, beginning the pursuit of dual breakthroughs in strength and spirit."
The projection unfolded like a scroll in the air, vividly showcasing how the citizens of the Great Xia Kingdom use various fearsome yet magical cultivation techniques to achieve a leap in life levels.
Among them, the unique cultivation technique "Painful Demon Body" stands out. It doesn’t discriminate against the cultivator’s aptitude - regardless of background, as long as there is determination and perseverance, anyone can cultivate it.
The myriad of images showed numerous youths who, in just a few months to a year.
Utilizing the manual "Painful Demon Body" and supplemented by the rich exotic beast flesh resources of the Great Xia Kingdom, they quickly advanced their cultivation, reaching the Third Grade Peak Realm.
And at that moment, as the explanation was just concluded.
A wave of shock spread among the powerful figures like ripples.
At this moment, the eyes of the people flickered with a light of disbelief, with many whispering to each other, buzzing with discussions.
Among them, an old veteran from a well-established noble sect, with a face full of wrinkles marking the passage of time.
He tightly grasped the divine weapon in his hand, suddenly standing up, his deep eyes full of astonishment.
"Impossible! Achieving the Third Grade Peak in just a few months? And they claim that within a year, anyone can reach this level without aptitude restrictions?"
"This completely overturns our understanding of cultivation! How could such an earth-shattering cultivation technique exist?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Many powerful figures around, be they battle-hardened veterans or newly-emerged talents, were also severely shaken by this news.
Voices of agreement and debate arose one after another.
"I don’t believe it!"
"What ’Painful Demon Body’? It’s all fake, this is false information!"
"Heavens, how can there be such horrifyingly unparalleled cultivation techniques?"
"..."
However, this was just the beginning.
Next, the various cultivation techniques previously released by Lin Ping’an, along with their names and effects, were fully displayed before the powerful figures of the mainline human race.
As such, the cries of surprise never ceased.
"What? ’Immortal Evil Demon Body’? Regrowing severed digits? My heavens!"
"’Abi Dao Three Blades’? Cross-level assassination?"
"These... these techniques are too wicked!"
"They actually made them public to those lowly commoners? Unforgivable! This is uprooting us noble sects!"
"This precedent must not be set, eliminate, it must be eliminated!"
"This offshoot has gone astray, it dares not follow the leadership of the sect families, we must correct this so-called Great Xia back to the legitimate development route."
"..."
As time quietly passed, the torrent of shocking news continued to surge.
Each explosive piece of information resounded like thunderclaps in everyone’s ears.
At this moment, the dignified and arrogant expressions on the faces of the mainline human race’s powerful figures.
Gradually faded from shock and astonishment to one of numbness and bewilderment.
The once brilliantly confident light in their eyes.
Now seemed utterly dimmed by the heavy layers of news.
Tightly clenched fists revealing the struggle and helplessness within their hearts.
The once unwavering beliefs seemed to waver under this series of breathless changes.
The atmosphere was filled with a suffocating and tense air, as if every inch of space was speaking of the unprecedented turmoil and change.
Faces turned from pallor to iron blue, and finally to a wooden apathy.
Like a rock weathered by storms, though still hard, it appeared tired beyond measure.
But despite this, when the last message was spoken from the mouths of the three Eighth Grade Grandmasters, all the powerful figures exploded once more.
"??? Great Xia Guardian God? Suppress the Dragon God with a single hand? And capture a dozen Beast Gods all at once? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Damn it! This is utterly absurd! Do you not know what the Dragon God and other Beast Gods signify? These are entities that the human race could never contend against. You say someone subdued them with a wave? Don’t joke!"
"This million-mile light membrane was casually deployed by someone? Nonsense! Pure nonsense!"
"What Great Xia Guardian God Lin Ping’an? It’s false! All of it is false! You must have been deceived! If he truly exists, use that light membrane to kill me now!"
"..."
After a brief dead silence, the scene erupted into noise once more.
Chaotic rebuttals and shouts rolled like boiling water.
Many powerful figures, with either grave expressions and eyes flickering with resolve and doubt, rebutted those heretical messages with tightly reasoned words;
Or with high emotions, waving their arms, howling and shouting, as if only through such means could they vent their inner shock and fear;
Or pale-faced and hollow-eyed, clearly crushed mentally by the successive terrifying news, their mindset nearly collapsing.
The vast majority of strong figures unanimously chose disbelief, not just as a choice, but more like a helpless self-protection.
Because once they admit those seemingly absurd but actually terrifying pieces of information as true.
Then, before any actual action is taken, their beliefs and dignity might crumble under this series of heavy blows, until they are completely deranged.
Imagine if all those groundbreaking facts were true, then how could they, who pride themselves on their legitimate standing in the human race, survive?
From historical roots, cultural heritage, and lineage continuation to civilizational achievements...
