Chu Feng passed through the Spirit Province and entered the land of the Qin Province, it took him more than two weeks with the White Eagle.
Although the continent, ruled by Jiang Dynasty was divided into Nine Provinces, the area of land of the Nine Provinces was all different. Without a doubt, the Azure Province was the smallest within the Nine Provinces. The Spirit Province was very big, but it was said that the Qin Province was the province with the vastest area of land within the Nine Provinces.
In front of Chu Feng, a small town appeared. As he came to that location for the first time in his life, to avoid any unnecessary troubles, He did not display his strong cultivation or the little white eagle. Rather, he secretly descended from the sky, then walked into the town.
After walking for some time in the town, Chu Feng discovered that it was truly only an ordinary small town. It was slightly more developed than the Leaning Mountain Town that his Chu family lived in. In this town, most of them were cultivators of Origin Realm, and there were only a few high-quality restaurants.
Chu Feng entered inside one of the restaurants for two main purposes, the primary one was to gather information about the situation of this Province and secondary was to refill his need food, his stored food was already eaten by him while traveling due to his big appetite.
As a certain middle-aged man saw Chu Feng entering inside the restaurant his eyes fall upon Chu Feng's beautiful clothing and young handsome face, instantly, his gazes lit up as he quickly chuckled and said, "Young Master, may I ask what would you like to have?"
"I not only want to eat but the store also. So, Bring your family's best wine and meat over and make me a meal. I guarantee that I won't pay you badly." Chu Feng said.
"Okay, young master, please come this way." Seeing that, the middle-aged man with the large smile on his face invited him in, and he also yelled at the big man who was standing next to him, "What are you staring blankly at? Quickly go to the kitchen and order them to prepare a table of top-level dishes for the young master! The quicker the better!"
Who was Chu Feng? Although he was young, he was the person who was strongest in his generation in the entire Lower Realm and he was also trained as a Secret agent in his past life so he could naturally see that the middle aged-man felt that he was a wealthy person. Chu Feng's age was also really young, so the middle-aged man wanted to take the chance to cheat him.
However, Chu Feng was too lazy to bother with him because currently, he was really hungry. And he not only wanted to eat a good meal but also collect information so he has to deal with this for some time.
Following that, Chu Feng was invited into a pretty nice hall. It also had to be said that middle-aged man's working efficiency was rather good. Very quickly, many dishes filled the table.
Perhaps because Chu Feng was too hungry, or because their dishes were very pleasant-smelling, as Chu Feng looked at the table of dishes, golden stars could truly appear in front of his eyes. As he drooled, with a wave of Spirit Power he checked the food first and then he pulled back his sleeve and revealed his arm, preparing to fill his stomach with all the food.
While thinking 'Restaurant's food is really restaurant's food, I really need to improve my cooking skills.'
"Wait." But just at that time, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke. He chuckled while smiling and saying to Chu Feng, "Young Master, it's not that I don't believe you, but quite a few ingredients have been spent on this table of good dishes."
"Damn." Chu Feng easily understood what he was trying to say but he didn't bother and throw out a small bag filled with thousands of gold coins towards the man's direction.
"Sorry for the offense Young Master, but this is our policy" Seeing the cons in the bag, the middle-aged man gave an apologizing expression.
...
"I am not a native person of here? Can you tell me something about the famous Thousand Monster Mountain?" Chu Feng smiled while asking, The current him had already stuffed himself with food and also stored a large amount in his cosmos sack for the future use.
"What? Thousand Monster Mountain?!"
After hearing the three words "Thousand Monster Mountain", not only that middle-aged man, almost the faces of everyone who sat on other tables changed greatly as they were not lightly frightened. The middle-aged man who stood beside him, almost fell off as his legs started trembling.
If Chu Feng didn't have quick hands and sharp eyes and caught him, he was certainly going to fall down with four of his limbs pointing towards the sky.
"Young Master, I didn't hear wrong did I? You said that you wanted to know about the Thousand Monster Mountain?" The Middle-aged man had shock across his face, and within the gaze that he looked at Chu Feng with, it was filled with some fear.
And from the reactions of man as well as the people on the scene, Chu Feng could guess that most likely, the Thousand Monster Mountain was a forbidden zone. So, with a clever thought, he said,
"Actually, I am a traveler and I love to write stories. When I was in the Azure Province, I heard that the Thousand Monster Mountain in the Qin Province was a strange land and had several legends regarding this Mountain Range. So, with a far and hard journey, I came to this place because I also wanted to write another story on my experience with Thousand Monster Mountain."
"Story Teller?" However, after hearing the two words "Story Teller", several people were amazed, among the normal citizens it was a very famous occupation.
"Young Master, I don't know much about Thousand Monster Mountain, but the Thousand Monster Mountain is forbidden land for us, humans. It is the world of Monstrous Beasts."
"Young Master, If you are wanted to know for your story then its no problem. But if you are really up to something then I must remind you that the Prestigious Prince's Mansion, the lord of this Province had once ordered that any power or person were not allowed to enter the Thousand Monster Mountain without permission."
"Or else, if they angered the Monstrous Beasts in the Thousand Monster Mountain, a huge battle would be initiated." The middle-aged man gravely reminded as he was deeply afraid that Chu Feng did not know good or bad and would enter the Thousand Monster Mountain because of his curiosity.
"Prestigious Prince's Mansion? They're the ruler of the Qin Province?" Chu Feng curiously asked.
"Young Master, it seems like this is truly the first time that you've come to the Qin Province, and you seem to not know anything about it." Seeing that, the man was first taken aback by his words, then, later on, he explained in detail,
"The Prestigious Prince's Mansion was originally called the Prestigious Villa and it is the number one power in my Qin Province. Because the Prestigious Villa got stronger by each day and had already surpassed the original ruler of the Qin Province, the Thick Ground Grass Prince's Mansion, the dynasty removed the ruling power of the Thick Ground Grass Prince's Mansion and handed the Qin Province over to the Prestigious Villa for managing."
"The Monstrous Beasts in the Thousand Monster Mountain are truly that powerful? Even the strongest body in the power of Qin Province doesn't dare to offend them?" Chu Feng tried to inquire more news about the Thousand Monster Mountain.
"Of course! The Monstrous Beasts in the Thousand Monster Mountain are really scary. The Monstrous Beasts within have already ruled over the Thousand Monster Mountain for almost a thousand years. I heard that the number of Monstrous Beasts that are living in there reach several million. Every single of them are extremely savage and some can even transform into a human shape."
"Especially the Four Great Monster Kings inside the Thousand Monster Mountain. They have extremely strong power, and even the lord of the Prestigious Prince's Mansion fear them."
"But luckily, their activities stay within the Thousand Monster Mountain, or else the citizens of the Qin Prince would come across a huge disaster."
"And also because of that, the Prestigious Villa gave an order and stated that no one is allowed to step in the Thousand Monster Mountain or else, if it stirs up the anger of the Monstrous Beasts and causes them to attack humans, it would be a huge crime worthy of family extermination." The middle-aged man continued saying.
"So it's like that. It seems like you truly understand quite a bit regarding the matters of the Qin Province." Chu Feng couldn't help but admire this man a bit. One's knowledge was usually quite limited, so those in lower positions would know less especially for the people who lived in such a backward town.
This clearly state the difference between his Azure Province and Qin Province.
....
Although the Qin Province was very big, with the speed of the top-quality White-headed Eagle, Little White, after a few more days' worths of time, Chu Feng finally arrived at the Prestigious Villa.
Although the Prestigious Villa was named as a villa, it was truly enormous power. On top of a mountain range, several huge cities were created. Not only did the cities cover a large area of space with grand might, every single one of them was even connected. No matter if it was in terms of might or area, it was the most extreme out of all the powers that Chu Feng had ever seen in his life.
His plan was to gather more information before heading to the location, As 'Napoleon said War Is Ninety Percent Information'. Chu Feng wanted to know everything about what level of people he will be going to deal with on the Mountain.
And within just a few days of his stay in the city and interacting with the natives he learned very precious information, that, many years ago, a Monster King appeared within the Thousand Monster Mountain. That Monster King had powerful strength of Heaven Realm expert. With the rise of the hand, mountain peaks could collapse and the earth would tremble. He had the ability to call upon the wind and rain.
However, it's said that Monster King always wanted Monstrous Beasts to rule over this land, and because of that, unavoidably, there was a conflict with the ruler Jiang Dynasty.
That battle was truly the so-called 'Shocking the heaven and earth, causing ghosts and gods to sob'. As per most people, the Thousand Monster Mountain before that day used to be a really large area as large as Azure Province (half the area of the whole Qin Province). The reason why it shrunk so much to the current stage is that it was caused by the battle between the Monster King and the dynasty's emperor back then.
In the end, although it was the emperor who gained victory in the battle as he killed the Monster King, thus pacifying the rebellion of the Monstrous Beasts, the emperor was also heavily injured, and after a short while, he passed away."
Before he left, he gave an order out to warn his successors: The other powers in the continent of the Nine Provinces could become an enemy to the Monstrous Beasts in the Thousand Monster Mountain; the other powers in the continent of the Nine Provinces could plunder the resources in the Thousand Monster Mountain, but the Jiang Dynasty absolutely could not take the lead to attack the Thousand Monster Mountain, they could not plunder the resources in the Thousand Monster Mountain, and they could not step into the Thousand Monster Mountain again.
And the current Mountain Range is ruled by the five monstrous kings----Scorpion King, Black Toad, Centipede King, Spider King, and Venomous Snake King. Moreover, they all are in Heaven Realm, they are considered as powerful as the Prestigious Villa.
"If my guess is correct then, the Monstrous Monkey King I met in the Asura Ghost Tower might be the same person with whom Jiang Dynasty Emperor fought."
"And if he is really the same person then the legend among the natives was more complicated than my imagination." Chu Feng sighed, after calculating everything. He was trying to fill the loopholes in the story by connecting it with the Monstrous Monkey King sealed inside the Asura Ghost Tower.
