Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 866 - 860: Secrets of the Ancient Era (Part 2)

"Senior Xuanwu, at that time on Earth, was it mostly land with only a little bit of sea?"

In Qin Yang's eyes, a glimmer flickered, and he felt a bit surprised in his heart.

One must know, nowadays on Earth, seawater accounts for seventy-one percent, while land accounts for twenty-nine percent.

"Correct, back then, Earth's land area was indeed the majority; about eighty percent of the entire Earth was land, and the sea only made up about twenty percent."

Above the Ice Lake, the old tortoise's large head nodded slightly.

"Then what happened to all that land...?"

Qin Yang seemed to have thought of something, a trace of incredulity emerging in his eyes.

"This dates back more than five thousand years. More than five thousand years ago, although there were many conflicts on Earth, some cultivators used techniques to move mountains and fill seas, which was not unheard of. Gonggong, who had profound understanding in the Water Dao Laws alongside me, was one who broke Buzhou Mountain."

The old tortoise's ancient voice spoke with calmness.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded. Such methods were indeed extraordinary.

"However, the conflicts on Earth, although numerous, were nothing compared to the sudden ancient calamity."

The old tortoise's eyes, deep as the sea, glittered as he recalled the scenes of the time and sighed.

"Ancient calamity?"

Qin Yang was slightly astonished. What could possibly be termed as an ancient calamity on the Earth of those times, teeming with Divine Beasts and powerful beings?

"May I ask, Senior, what does this ancient calamity refer to?"

A glimmer flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he clasped his hands in inquiry.

Even the mighty Divine Beast Xuanwu referred to it as an ancient calamity, implying that the battle was exceedingly fierce.

"It was a planar invasion war."

The old tortoise's ancient eyes revealed a solemnity, recalling the past events.

"Five thousand years ago, the space surrounding Earth was extremely stable until one day, a plane leading to Earth was torn apart, and countless powerhouses from the Outer Realm surged onto Earth.

An earth-shattering battle erupted on Earth, islands vanished, continents were torn apart, and the largest landmass was directly hollowed out."

The old tortoise's ancient voice narrated slowly.

"The largest landmass was hollowed out?"

At this moment, there was a tremor in Qin Yang's eyes. Could the largest landmass the old tortoise mentioned be referring to what is now the Pacific Ocean?

"The battle lasted an entire five hundred years and only through the combined efforts of all living creatures on Earth were those Outer Realm forces, who sought to enslave and occupy Earth, finally driven out."

The old tortoise spoke with a calm tone.

However, though the old tortoise spoke calmly, anyone could sense the intensity of the battle from the untroubled voice.

Upon hearing, Qin Yang showed a solemn expression, nodding.

"Yet, after a battle this brutal lasting centuries, Earth suffered heavy casualties, Spiritual Energy gradually depleted, vegetation withered, making it unsuitable for beings like us; therefore, we traversed the planar rift to a new world."

The old tortoise's gaze was as deep as the sea, as he spoke.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded. The scenes Zilan saw in her mind weren't difficult to explain then. Those cultivators and various beasts were heading towards the sky above the East Sea, which is from here towards a new world.

"Senior, is this the passage of the planar rift?"

A glimmer flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he asked.

"Correct, although Spiritual Energy on Earth is thin, and we've taken all treasures with us, there's nothing left to covet. But to prevent possible harm to Earth's beings, we sealed this planar rift."

"This island was created using a piece of my original shell along with one of Earth's islands to seal off the planar passage."

The old tortoise lifted his head, his deep-sea-like gaze turning towards Qin Yang, as he spoke.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded, his gaze shifting towards the end of the Ice Lake. At the end of this Ice Lake, there should be a spatial rift leading to another plane.

In Earth's myths, it's said that Penglai Immortal Island is on Xuanwu's back, and unexpectedly this is quite close to the truth.

"Though the planar rift has been sealed, the Power of Space is still immense and unstable, and approximately every hundred years or so, it opens up again."

The old tortoise spoke.

"Hmm."

Upon hearing, Qin Yang nodded, which explained why they could enter this place.

"By the way, may I ask, Senior, do you know where those powerhouses from the Outer Realm come from?"

A flicker of curiosity appeared in Qin Yang's eyes as he asked, feeling a trace of curiosity.

"Where there are people, there is strife, where there is profit and selfishness, there's inevitably conflict. Plane wars are much grander in scale, more cruel and brutal than the battles you commonly see.

Your current ability is still too low; knowing of it is no advantage. When your power is sufficient, you will come to understand."

The old tortoise lifted his head, his deep gaze looking towards Qin Yang.

Upon hearing, Qin Yang nodded. His current strength indeed remained at the bottom rung. However, no one starts as a powerhouse; after arriving on Earth, he has cultivated for less than a year.

"As long as one holds an unwavering heart of a strong man, one day, he will become as powerful as the old tortoise."

Determined glimmers shone in Qin Yang's eyes.

Contrary to fate in Immortal Cultivation, traversing a path of challenges, ascending to the peak of the Great Dao, accompanying Sister Ruan, traveling through each plane, this is Qin Yang's current pursuit.

On Earth, the environment is relatively peaceful.

The real Immortal Cultivation Realm compels you to grow strong, survival of the fittest, if your power isn't sufficient, then your life might be dominated by others or devoured by Demon Beasts.

Therefore, for almost all cultivators, they will seek every way to enhance their power, coveting others' treasures, murdering to seize treasures is also quite common.

Only with great strength can one gain more cultivators' esteem, doing what one wishes rather than being dominated by others.

"Young one, you arriving here is a great serendipity. I bestow upon you an opportunity. When the day you become a true strong one comes, should Earth ever face attack, perhaps your aid will be needed."

The old tortoise's deep-sea-like eyes looked at Qin Yang as he spoke.

"Senior Xuanwu, rest assured, even without your words, if Earth faced a crisis, I would surely spare no effort."

Qin Yang nodded, his voice solemn.

Currently, Earth focuses on technology, it's like a minor technological plane, people are all mortals, should several formidable cultivators arrive unbidden and massacre mortals, Earth would be jeopardized.
