482: Nong Cangzi, the farmer's Taoist lineage, the blue giant mountain creature

Divine blood!

Only those so-called Innate Saints, the Prodigies who possess special Physiques, would have it.

Could it be that the unknown master who struck—is a Divine Physique?

Could it really be? That they come from the Upper Realm?

A Giant was shaken by this, a look of incredulity appearing in his pupils.

As for that arm, it fell toward the divine city below.

More accurately, it was the outskirts of the divine city.

There stood an old man wearing coarse linen clothes, his figure somewhat hunched!

At this moment, he was standing on a ridge in the field!

In his hand, he held an old, rough hoe.

He looked exactly like an old farmer working in the fields, tilling the land!

He lifted his slightly cloudy eyes and, with great composure, reached out his hand to catch the falling arm.

You must know! That was a terrifying object capable of causing Giants to bleed.

Yet, in his hands, it could not stir up any waves at all. It seemed like an utterly ordinary object!

There was nothing special about it, let alone any terrifying, ominous power!

After the old man examined it for a few moments, he picked up his hoe, dug a pit in the ground, and tossed the arm inside.

Then, he turned the soil over, burying it completely.

Vaguely—the entire plot of land emitted a hazy cyan light, as if it contained boundless energy.

And that arm was nothing more than fertilizer, nourishing the seeds buried within and stimulating them to sprout...

Some of the Giants and overlords observing from the shadows were suddenly unsettled. This was simply a waste of a heavenly treasure!

That was a limb from a special Physique!

It could have been refined to create Medicinal Pills that boost cultivation!

Or it could have been used as Materials for Artifact Refining to create an extraordinary spiritual weapon or Treasure Artifact. Perhaps even—a heavy Saint Dao weapon!

Yet, the old man's method was to bury it in the dirt. What is he doing? Treating it as fertilizer!

Feeding those mundane crop seeds, what is he thinking?!

Is he trying to blend into the mortal world? To be an old farmer? Has he gone mad from farming?

But no one dared to make a move. After all, everyone was neither blind nor stupid!

Just by looking, they could tell—that single hand alone could easily injure them!

It was clearly an unknown Dao being they could not possibly rival... yet in that old farmer's hands, it was nothing more than a single swing of a hoe!

It was obvious. One cannot judge things by their appearance.

Although the old farmer in the field did not look like anything special, appearing utterly plain, his strength was actually far greater and even more terrifying.

A ruler of an Imperial Dynasty from the Central Saint Continent had his gaze flicker, as if he recognized the other's identity. His burly body trembled slightly, and he spoke in a low voice, "So it is him!"

A Giant from a Dao Tradition heard his words and could not help asking, "Who is it? Which Sage of the current age?"

Someone with this kind of strength! They were definitely not a mediocrity; they were highly likely to have a significant background.

Even if they had later retired to the fields and become obscure, never appearing in the cultivation world, before their retirement—in their youth—they certainly were not unknown, and likely possessed great fame.

"If I am not mistaken, he should be that Nong Cangzi!"

"Nong Cangzi?!?" A Giant from a Dao Tradition also belonging to the Central Saint Continent could not help but be surprised!

He stole another glance at the old farmer and suddenly realized. "It looks like… it really is that person! I never expected! That he would be living in seclusion here in Myriad Paths City, unknown to outsiders!"

"Nong Cangzi? Could he be from… the 'Nong Family', known for dwelling in the mundane world and tilling the fields?!?"

"This is a reclusive Dao Tradition! Legend says their lineage inherits the Legacy of the ancient Human Emperor—Shennong. Using the word 'Nong' (Agriculture), they entered the Dao of heaven and earth!"

"They uphold the philosophy that the earth carries all things, the Fusion of heaven and man, endless nurturing, and benefiting all living beings!"

"It seems to be true! I have also heard that three thousand years ago, a great drought occurred in the southern part of the Saint Continent! An unknown master of a great Divine Ability stepped in! With vast and boundless life force, he nourished ten thousand miles of land, giving birth to a thousand-mile oasis. Withered trees bloomed in spring, and all things grew! He returned a paradise and vitality to this world... Could it be him?"

"It seems that in these few thousand years, he has already become a Sage!" A Giant sighed with emotion!

He and that Nong Cangzi were figures of the same era! Yet until now! He was still at the Dao-merging level, having long failed to find the opening for a Breakthrough! The path to the next Realm! He was lost! He could not see it!

And the other party, meanwhile, had already ignited the Sage fire and had clearly crossed the Sage Tribulation. He had become a Sage of the current age.

In his heart, he secretly made a resolution that once this matter was over, he would immediately return. He would enter a death-seclusion to seek the opportunity for a Breakthrough! If he did not achieve a Breakthrough! He would never give up.

On the other side… "Boom! Crack! Boom! Crack! Boom! Crack…" The space was still continuously cracking! The world of the Myriad Paths Secret Realm had completely manifested before the eyes of the world. It was bordering the outside world! There was no distinction between them.

At the same time! This also caused the Fusion of the surrounding space, and the trend of collapse was still spreading outward. Looking from afar, it was as if a huge hole had been torn in the sky! The mouth of the hole was pitch black! Turbulent currents ran rampant, Chaos rolled, and it was a scene of utter Chaos, causing one to involuntarily feel a chill.

And on the other side of the spatial passage! From that unknown land, painful roars came one after another, deafening and soul-shaking. Through the spatial rift—one could vaguely see beings as tall as divine mountains standing there. There was not just one!

Each one was clad in heavy armor, shrouded in crimson and cyan radiance. Even without getting close! One could inexplicably sense an extremely strong pressure emanating from them.

Some held heavy hammers of black light, swinging them high each time, then smashing them down fiercely! Causing the space of heaven and earth to frequently tremble and crack.

One of them! Only had one large hand left; his red hair was disheveled, his face ferocious, and sharp fangs grew in his mouth. He looked like a vicious fiend.

He was pressing both hands tightly against the spatial rift, his massive, mountain-like body constantly pushing forward. His ferocious and terrifying head seemed to want to poke out, to cross the spatial barrier between the two worlds! To descend into this world!

However—what greeted him was yet another grey, mud-covered hoe. "Puchi!!!" It was as brutal as ever!

But this time! That Giant being seemed to have been prepared, its cyan radiance surging. On top of its head, it wore a hairband covered in mysterious patterns. When that hoe fell! The hairband bloomed with a magnificent, indescribable treasure light, blocking the descending hoe!
