High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 422 - 332: Giant Heritage Grounds, the Shattered Martial Saint Tower, and the Last Opportunity to Ascend

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool is actually in the Giant Beast Cave?

Is this a deliberate test arranged by the War Zone before entering the pool?

Or is there some special reason...

Noticing the doubt flickering in Su Mu’s eyes, the elderly gentleman in a military uniform beside him slightly narrowed his eyes, gazing towards the distant crack in the earth.

"Su Mu, are you wondering why the War Zone specifically chose such a dangerous place?"

"Marshal Yue, I indeed have this doubt."

Su Mu replied directly, and the silver-haired elderly man smiled slightly.

"Because the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool was not created by humans, but left by the Relic Giant as a mysterious place, the reason is just that simple."

"Speaking of which, this matter traces back to that great being."

A great being?

When such a person is mentioned by Marshal Yue, the highest Commander-in-Chief of the South China War Zone, this person’s identity becomes self-evident...

"The Human Great Sage?"

"Correct." Yue Jun’s eyes were filled with admiration and respect. "Su Mu, do you know how many Giant Beast Caves exist on this planet?"

Su Mu was slightly puzzled, not understanding why Marshal Yue suddenly asked this question.

"There are a total of thirteen."

"Indeed, thirteen. Whether it is the favor of the heavens towards Huaxia or something else, in any case, Huaxia exclusively occupies six of the thirteen Giant Beast Caves. But Huaxia has ultimately persevered; adversities that do not defeat us will only lead to a resurgence and make us even greater."

"In times of peace, the Giant Beast Caves have, to some extent, transformed into limitless treasure troves. It is precisely because of the continuous supply of cultivation resources from these six Giant Beast Caves that Huaxia Martial Artists can prosper tirelessly."

"But a thousand years ago, during the arrival of the Beast Caves, it was a time of devastation..."

"At the critical moment of life and death, the Human Great Sage descended like a meteor from the heavens, that great being turned the tide, and left footprints mostly on the Huaxia Land. One of his greatest feats was undoubtedly entering the Giant Beast Cave in South Mountain City alone and sealing it, which is why Huaxia now has only five major war zones, rather than six."

"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool is a unique place in the Giant Beast Caves, according to experts on Giant Civilization, it was specially built by Relic Giants as a place to nurture their offspring."

"This special place exists only in the Giant Beast Caves—no, there is an exception, that is the Giant Beast Cave in South Mountain City, which must have its own uniqueness, otherwise the Great Sage wouldn’t have chosen it as the place to attempt a seal; ultimately no Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool was found there, nor was..."

Saying this, Yue Jun paused, did not continue, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Relic Giants are a war-like race, extremely valorizing force. They are individually strong, and each individual is born with the power to combat a Grandmaster. The way they pass on their civilization seems incredible and... brutal to us humans."

"Incredible, brutal?"

"Indeed, in ancient times, humans used mediums like stones, bamboo slips, and paper for civilization transmission, but the Giants did not. The Giants’ civilization was more about the direct inheritance of flesh, bones, and even souls..."

Inheritance of flesh and bones?

Even inheritance of the soul?!

Hearing this, Su Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly understood. He didn’t find it too surprising because he had entered two Giant Ruins before.

The first Giant’s Blood Cave had a massive, heart-missing Giant’s body.

Its heart had turned into a blood pool.

Su Mu once speculated whether this Giant was killed by external enemies, or committed some heinous crime and was executed by other Giants, becoming a relic as a result.

Now, hearing Yue Jun’s words, everything could be explained.

"If so... in the second Giant Ruin, the empty Stone Throne might not be empty at all, but hold the soul of a dead Giant!"

Su Mu thought silently to himself.

"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool is one of the Giants’ places of inheritance, mainly activated through the medium of Giant Bone Marrow. The most widely accepted hypothesis is that it is a place for nurturing the Root Bone of new Giants."

"In addition, there were also places for inheritance of the Giants’ Qi and Blood, wherein a blood pool usually existed, but unfortunately, by the time these places became known, the blood pools were nearly dried up or already had dried up long ago..."

The blood pools had dried up?

Su Mu was slightly stunned but didn’t show it on his face.

Marshal Yue made no mention of a heart; if there were a Giant heart, the blood pools would not dry up easily, at least the Qi and Blood inheritance grounds he and Tantai Yan entered were not as described by Marshal Yue.

"It seems we’ve entered a special relic."

"Perhaps it’s also because this relic is within an Alien Race Battlefield, which contradicts Marshal Yue’s assertion that such places exist only in Giant Beast Caves..."

"The best example is that within Yun Province Beast Cave, there also exists a place containing inheritance of a Giant’s soul, which also contradicts Marshal Yue’s statement..."

While such thoughts arose in Su Mu’s mind.

Yue Jun continued: "The currently discovered Giant Ruins are roughly categorized into four types: weapons, martial arts, Qi and Blood, Root Bone... but there shouldn’t be just these four types, there ought to be five, one is missing..."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu hesitated and spoke, "A place for soul inheritance?"
