Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 300 - 278: Beast Taming Ancient Race, Return from the Underworld (Part 2)

As they approached, the three-eyed giants atop the mountain immediately fell into chaos, their foreheads opening their third eyes, warily watching them, yet fear filled their eyes.

As they got close to the mountain, Zhang Kui waved his hand to stop the Dragonbone Divine Ship, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "What race are you, and how long have you been here?"

The three-eyed giants exchanged glances, then opened their mouths, but could only let out ah-ah sounds.

The Great Venerate Toad shook his head slightly, "These guys have likely been here for quite a while, they can't even speak..."

At this moment, an old three-eyed giant with wrinkled skin and a hunched back walked out, leaning on a staff. He opened his mouth, and a hoarse and dry voice sounded.

"Y-You all... from the Mortal World?"

"That's right."

Zhang Kui nodded in response.

The old three-eyed giant's cloudy eyes filled with joy. He turned his head and made a few ah-ah sounds, and the other three-eyed giants also began to shout ah-ah, wildly ecstatic as they knelt and bowed.

Zhang Kui shook his head slightly. At this moment, his Divine Soul was transparent, and many forgotten memories of his past life were recalled. He had once read an article by chance, saying that language could also regress. These three-eyed giants were probably a case of this.

The Dragonbone Divine Ship slowly descended onto the mountain peak.

Each of these three-eyed giants was over ten meters tall, wearing tattered cloth and rotting animal skins that, upon closer inspection, were actually the decaying drapes of a Divine Temple.

As for the animal skins, they made Zhang Kui's heart suspect, could there really be wild beasts in the Underworld?

Undoubtedly, they received a warm welcome. The demons naturally didn't mind. Although a few of these three-eyed giants were in the Mahayana Realm, their strength was average, and they only wanted to leave this place quickly in their hearts.

But Zhang Kui was not in a hurry. He slowly inquired with the old three-eyed giant.

On the mural of Ting Mountain at that time, he clearly remembered it was a small person falling into the earth, then cutting down a group of strange people with an axe, and finally becoming a giant.

The Three-Eyed Race members buried with them were of normal human size, so why were they all giants here? What happened in between?

Unfortunately, this old three-eyed giant was also confused. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck, and he led him to the dilapidated Divine Halls.

The walls were covered with various murals. Although most were mottled and blurred, Zhang Kui still managed to piece together the storyline.

Sure enough, these three-eyed giants were an ancient race, naturally gifted, capable of growing larger as their strength increased.

The history of this race predated the arrival of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty. They had experienced the barbaric era, came to the Underworld to herd desolate beasts, and cut down the eerie to temper themselves...

Herding desolate beasts?

Zhang Kui looked at these silly three-eyed giants in surprise, not expecting them to have such skills.

More importantly, what he thought was that the eerie beings of the Underworld were a product of the Great War after the Ancient Immortal Dynasty and alien invasions, now seemed to have an even deeper history, possibly being the true natives of the Underworld.

The next murals recorded the arrival of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, they were subdued, some were granted divine positions, while more stayed in the Underworld to help the Immortal Dynasty herd horses.

Horses?

Zhang Kui was a bit dizzy. What kind of horse needs herding in the Underworld?

After that, no more records were left. It seemed with the massive changes in the world, these Stable Cleaners of the Immortal Dynasty were trapped here, becoming Wildmen of the Underworld.

Seeing this, Zhang Kui lost interest, waved his hand at the old giant, "Let's go, I'll take you out of here."

These giants have the ability to tame beasts. Although their numbers are now less than a hundred, they can still be a force for the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty.

"Yes... yes... Lord..."

The old three-eyed giant's eyes filled with tears, waved to call out, and the giants immediately rejoiced, running toward a ground cavern.

Zhang Kui, curious, spun the Sun and Moon Light Wheel in his eyes and immediately saw the scene inside the depot.

Inside, endless white bones, resembling horses, yet with sharp teeth, were two meters tall.

And deeper in the cavern, several black strong horses were imprisoned, each tall and large, snorting ghost fire from their nostrils, baring their sharp fangs while tearing at the writhing meat chunks on the ground.

What kind of horses are these, consuming the meat of the eerie beings of the Underworld...

...

Kunlun Mountain was enshrouded with spiritual mist, and the back mountain was crowded with people, devoutly climbing that heavenly ladder into the depths of the mist.

Ever since Zhang Kui established the Profound Sect and opened the Earth Demon Ten Halls to the world, there has been a constant flow of people, with cultivators from all over the world gathering, making it a true Holy Land for humanity.

With only the management of the Divine Path, though the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty was orderly, and all things in harmony, it inevitably became a bit rigid. The Earth Demon Ten Halls added a spark of hope, truly giving humanity the wings to rise and soar.

This world had myriad races, and although the Celestial Gang and Earthly Fiends style of cultivation was difficult and cumbersome, it was truly a Great Path for cultivation most suited to humanity, as it originated from a previous life.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Atop Kunlun Mountain, the body of the Divine Court Bell, which suppressed the Divine Land Barrier, suddenly radiated divine light, turning the mountain-top mist a golden hue.

The cultivators ascending the mountain beheld this fantastic scene and exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what was happening.

Meanwhile, in the Nanji Hall of the Divine Dynasty at the mountain's base, Helian Boxiong and Elder Huayan rose in jubilant surprise.

"The Sect Leader has returned!"

...

In Qingjiang State, several hundred miles away from Ting Mountain, amidst desolate mountain valleys, the mountain-top was covered with swirling mist, concealing a small village. Though coffins lined the floors of every household, the men worked the fields and the women wove, resembling a peaceful idyllic world.

Suddenly, in the village center, a black passageway to the Underworld slowly opened, and the Dragonbone Divine Ship slowly flew out.

The village was thrown into chaos. The men and women, old and young, dressed in strange clothing, were filled with shock, each forming spell seals, and corpses leapt from the coffins one by one.

In this village, everyone could refine corpses.

But they were completely stunned thereafter, as the terrifying aura of those figures on the deck was irresistible.

At that moment, three-eyed giants leapt from the passageway to the Underworld, curiously observing their surroundings, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

"The divine has returned!"

An elder among the villagers suddenly knelt on the ground with tear-filled eyes, and the other villagers also knelt one after another.

The three-eyed giants, although bewildered, seemed to have something in their blood awakened, and they slowly crouched down, while cracks appeared on the villagers' foreheads, slowly opening three eyes.

Zhang Kui watched in astonishment.

These people were clearly the corpse refiners who once performed rituals for the three-eyed giant corpses. Despite thorough investigation by the Astronomical Bureau, they remained undiscovered. What Zhang Kui did not expect was that after establishing the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty, these descendants of the ancient clan still hid here, adhering to an ancient faith.

Truly...

Zhang Kui shook his head slightly but then suddenly looked towards Kunlun Mountain with eyes full of killing intent.

Tai Shi had communicated the recent events through the Divine Path network.

The divine spirits of the Immortal Dynasty... You Dynasty?

The ancient divine spirit who narrowly survived and was suppressed by Tai Shi on Kunlun Mountain was one thing—they could surely extract many secrets from it.

But the You Dynasty brought back many memories for Zhang Kui.

At the bottom of the East Sea, the Ghost Ship carrying corpses circled for thousands of years, the plaque on the fallen corpse read "You."

What truly ignited his killing intent was the power on that Ghost Ship, now seemingly having a huge connection with an "alien invader"...
