Chapter 628: Is the Divinity Continent Weak?
Tianzu Continent, inland.
In a mountain named after "flowers and fruits."
At this moment, several beings are sitting inside a cave dwelling.
These beings vary in strength.
Among them, the strongest is a carefree, battle-ready monkey clad in armor, sitting at the top.
The weakest is a member of the Human Race, who hasn't even reached the Qi Refinement Stage— only a little stronger than a Mortal.
According to this human, he is a warrior, and he represents the Wuji Continent.
Su Xi is among them, neither weak nor strong, considered average.
A few people sit around in a circle.
"There are only eight honored guests here, representing eight continents. However, to my knowledge, our New Heaven and Earth faction should have ten continents represented. There might be two guests who haven't arrived yet, so please wait a moment,"
spoke one of the young monkeys sitting beside the Armored Monkey.
"No harm done, but I'd like to get to know everyone here first. Could you please introduce yourselves?"
a green-haired, elderly-looking man said with a chuckle as he stood up.
His eyes, brimming with spirit, swept over the group with an imposing air.
"Old man, introduce yourself first before asking others to do so. Don't you understand that?"
the Armored Monkey, chewing on a peach, suddenly turned his gaze onto the elder and remarked unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes, yes, that was thoughtless of me. My name is Kabala, from the Burial Immortal Continent,"
replied the elder with a smile.
He appeared harmless, like a benign old man.
"Old man, I don't quite like it when others use their avatars to talk to me. Mind that for next time."
The Armored Monkey, eyes shimmering with golden light, glanced at the elder and spoke indifferently.
"This... alright, it was not intentional on my part. I must confess, my true self has another name—the Tree of Life. My very being is tied to the safety of the entire continent, so I cannot move lightly, hence only my avatar could come. Please forgive this necessity,"
the elder replied with a wry smile.
He glanced at the Armored Monkey out of the corner of his eye, full of wariness.
His true nature had been seen through in just one look...
"Alright, now that the old man has introduced himself, let's all introduce ourselves. My name is Sun Wukong,"
said the Armored Monkey, then continued nibbling his peach, paying no attention to the rest.
With those words from the monkey,
the others also stood up one after another, giving their introductions.
"Miranda, Tianying Continent."
"Cangxuan, Tianyuan Continent."
"Augu, Tian..."
One by one, each person introduced themselves.
"Divinity Continent, Su Xi."
Seeing this, Su Xi also stood up and said his piece.
All of them had introduced themselves.
Except for that Mortal warrior from the Wuji Continent, who hadn't spoken a word.
It wasn't that this Mortal warrior didn't want to say anything; he simply didn't understand what this group of people was saying.
Although there was a language barrier, they could comprehend each other's intentions through their own methods.
This Mortal warrior could not.
One person spoke, and to the warrior, it seemed like "aba aba."; another spoke, and it sounded like "mixi mixi."
He was completely baffled.
Yet, under the gaze of the others, the Mortal warrior's body was dripping with cold sweat, unsure of how to speak.
He shakily stood up.
With confusion on their faces, they watched as he slowly opened his mouth.
"Gibberish?"
The Mortal warrior spoke tentatively.
Sun Wukong: "?"
Kabala: "?"
Su Xi: "?"
The others: "?"
And suddenly, the atmosphere froze.
After a good while,
Kabala was the first to come to his senses, looking at the others with astonishment.
"Do you... Do you understand what this friend is saying?"
Kabala hesitated before asking.
"This... I can't understand."
The others, including Su Xi, all shook their heads.
"It's not that we don't understand; this person is talking nonsense."
The 'Armored Monkey' Sun Wukong shook his head.
"How did this person get here?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Their continent is quite peculiar; it seems there's only one strong person, and then everyone else is cultivating this thing they call martial arts. Only one person cultivates the immortal path similar to that of our young friend Su Xi."
"Their continent needed a representative to come here, so that cultivator let this person come."
Sun Wukong explained casually.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Even Su Xi felt the same way.
You practice martial arts, and I cultivate immortality?
This continent is truly unique.
"Alright, let's not bother with this person anymore; I'll personally visit their continent later,"
Sun Wukong waved his hand, indicating that the people should ignore the person who was babbling unintelligibly.
Hearing this,
the others naturally no longer paid attention to that mortal martial artist.
They all turned their gaze to each other,
about to start conversing,
when Sun Wukong chose this moment to interrupt them.
"Before we talk, I have a question I would like to ask friend Su Xi,"
Sun Wukong turned his gaze to Su Xi.
His look wasn't sharp but was gentle as if he was looking at a junior.
"Senior, please ask,"
Su Xi understood that this Armored Monkey might be an even more formidable figure than her own senior brother, and she asked in response.
At the same time, she was also curious.
What this monkey would ask her.
"Is your home, the Divinity Continent, filled with countless strong individuals? How many strong individuals are above you?"
Sun Wukong asked with a somewhat solemn expression.
He had fought many strong individuals from the old era,
and had searched through the memories of some of them.
In this New Heaven and Earth, the Divinity Continent was the protagonist, while other continents just played supporting roles.
It was said that within the Divinity Continent, there were countless strong individuals.
This always remained in Sun Wukong's mind.
Now facing someone from the Divinity Continent, Sun Wukong naturally wanted to inquire.
"Ah? Why would the Divinity Continent have countless strong individuals? No, no, our Divinity Continent is very weak; there aren't many people,"
Su Xi was taken aback, then waved her small hand dismissively.
In her opinion, on their Divinity Continent, only her senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, junior sisters, and others from the same sect had decent strength, along with her Respected Master, Senior Bai, and the like.
Beyond them, there wasn't anyone whose strength was noteworthy.
Saying the Divinity Continent was weak was completely fine, right?
"The Divinity Continent is weak?"
Sun Wukong looked at Su Xi with a puzzled expression but did not pursue the matter, guessing that Su Xi was reluctant to speak.
If she was not willing to speak, he would not press the issue further.
Although he had searched through the memories of so many individuals from the old era and all the information suggested that the Divinity Continent had countless strong individuals,
to this person, it had suddenly become a place where the Divinity Continent was weak.
It seemed that if these people were to form an alliance to fight against the old era, it's possible their hearts were not united.
Sun Wukong imagined many things...
