The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

The old man was shrouded in mist, mysterious and terrifying; he stood there, yet it was as if he had merged with the sky, making him difficult to sense. This was the Divine Mountain Venerable. The Divine Mountain Venerable had promised to help Shi Jian break through the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary. He had information about the place where the Kunpeng fell.

"You've come…" Looking at the Divine Mountain Venerable, a bright light flashed in Shi Jian's eyes. A Venerable-level existence, but who was stronger?

The Divine Mountain Venerable looked at Shi Jian, his expression subtly changing; Shi Jian's every move contained supreme offensive techniques, with runes within and seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth without. This must mean he had broken through the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary.

"I didn't expect you to break through the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary so quickly, and even reach the Spiritual Realm!" The Divine Mountain Venerable spoke with a complex expression. He had seen the potential for Shi Jian to open the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary back then. That's why he wanted to recruit him. He wanted to use him to open the Kunpeng Secret Realm. However, Shi Jian refused him, but he still left Shi Jian some information. He made an agreement with Shi Jian that if he could break through the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary, he would grant him a great opportunity of the Ten Vicious Beast Precious Technique level.

Originally, he thought Shi Jian would need at least several years to condense the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary. Who knew that in less than a few months, Shi Jian had already broken through the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary? His combat power was even more terrifying. To cooperate with Shi Jian, the old man naturally investigated Shi Jian's situation in advance. Thus, he knew Shi Jian's combat power. He came from the Divine Mountain and had witnessed the traces of gods. Even gods couldn't compare to Shi Jian!

"Just some basic Realm, isn't breakthrough quite normal?" Shi Jian said indifferently. "You told me that a great opportunity would await me once I condensed the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary. Can you elaborate now?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across the Divine Mountain Venerable's face. Originally, he wanted to cooperate with Shi Jian to use his hands to open the Kunpeng Divine Burial and then seize the potential Ten Vicious Beast Precious Technique and other opportunities within the Divine Burial. As for Shi Jian himself, he hadn't taken him seriously. But now it was different; Shi Jian had not only condensed the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary, but his strength was also terrifying. If the Kunpeng Divine Burial were opened, who could snatch the opportunity from Shi Jian?

One must know that there was a Realm suppression within the Kunpeng Divine Burial. Even King-level powerhouses, let alone Marquis-level powerhouses, would be suppressed upon entering! The Divine Mountain could at most only send powerhouses of the Spiritual Realm into it. If Shi Jian only had the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary, the numerous Spiritual Realm powerhouses within the Divine Mountain could naturally suppress him. But he was in the Spiritual Realm, and possessed King-level combat power. This was terrifying. If he was invited to join, the entire Kunpeng Divine Burial would become his possession!

However, the Divine Mountain Venerable then thought that his juniors entering the Divine Mountain might not necessarily obtain the peerless Precious Technique. Moreover, without Shi Jian, who possessed the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary, they couldn't even open the ruins. It was better to build a good relationship with Shi Jian and let him protect their juniors. Furthermore, the world was about to fall into chaos, and building a good relationship with a figure like Shi Jian would only bring benefits, not harm.

So, he directly spoke: "Within the Taigu Divine Mountain, someone discovered a divine inscription, claiming that there is an ancient Kunpeng's nest in the coastal area of the desolate region. According to speculation, it is highly likely that a long-lost peerless Precious Technique is hidden there…" The Divine Mountain Venerable revealed some information. "That is a Forbidden Land with many requirements. Only those in the Spiritual Realm can enter, and one must open the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary to activate the passage!"

Shi Jian already knew this information, but he still pretended to be interested: "So, you mean there's a high possibility of the Kunpeng Precious Technique existing there? You want me to open the Dao for you?"

The Divine Mountain Venerable nodded. The emergence of the Kunpeng Precious Technique was absolutely a world-shaking event. Even Taigu Vicious Beasts couldn't sit still. They wanted to contend for it. It was just a pity that Kunpeng had set up a restriction, preventing those with strong abilities from entering.

"I can!" Shi Jian directly agreed. The Kunpeng Divine Burial, he had decided to go there several months ago. It was just that at that time, he was still weak and worried about being ambushed by people from the Divine Mountain. Therefore, he specifically told Liu Shen about these matters. He hoped Liu Shen could accompany him and open a passage for him. But now, it was no longer so troublesome. He already possessed Venerable-level combat power; even if the Divine Mountain came out in full force, it would be difficult to kill him! By the time he emerged from the Kunpeng's nest, it would be several months later. By then, he would possess a different level of combat power. A mere Divine Mountain could be annihilated with a raise of his hand.

"Let me first challenge the Martial King and settle some real-world matters. Then I will meet up with you!" Shi Jian stated his plan.

"Martial King, that is a peerless powerhouse in the Formation Arrangement Realm, just one step away from a Venerable!" The Divine Mountain Venerable already knew about Shi Jian challenging the Martial King. Therefore, he felt it was incredibly unbelievable.

"Why do you want to challenge him? Do you have the confidence to defeat him? Don't let it affect the sea expedition then?" He asked and probed at the same time.

Shi Jian calmly glanced at him: "If you're curious about my strength, why not test it yourself in the real world when we meet?"

The Divine Mountain Venerable's face flashed with surprise upon hearing this. Challenging a King-level powerhouse isn't enough; you also want to challenge a Venerable? He truly didn't know if Shi Jian was arrogant or if he genuinely had the confidence? If an ordinary person who had opened the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary dared to say such a thing, even if he had opened the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary, the Divine Mountain Venerable would say he was overestimating himself. But the person who said this was Shi Jian. His origin was mysterious, he broke the record of the Twenty Thousand Jin Blood Moving Realm… In just a few months, he had King-level combat power. For such an existence, no matter how outrageous his words were, they were worth pondering deeply. Could it be that he truly had the confidence to fight Venerable-level powerhouses?

The Divine Mountain old man had lived for a long time and witnessed generation after generation of Prodigies. An existence like the Martial King, to him, could only be described as "not bad"! But he had never seen a person like Shi Jian. If Shi Jian truly possessed Venerable-level combat power, then that would be truly terrifying!

"We are not the only ones who discovered that sea area; there are other forces as well. The competition will likely be fierce… I hope you set off as soon as possible and don't miss out on the opportunity within!" Though he was inwardly shocked, the Divine Mountain Venerable still reminded Shi Jian. There were many forces within the Taigu Divine Mountain. Not just their single family. Others were also preparing to explore that sea area. Because the Kunpeng Precious Technique was too tempting; even a tiny possibility could make countless people go crazy for it.

"Tell me the meeting point, and wait for me there. I will come to find you; it won't take long!" Shi Jian responded indifferently.

Afterward, the Divine Mountain old man told Shi Jian the place where they would depart for the sea area. After the two formed an alliance, Shi Jian exited the Virtual God Realm.
