Chapter 7854: The Era of Powerful People

Xia Tian just looked at the tavern owner in front of him.

Soon, the owner picked up a pot of wine: "I think you should also know the relationship between the Baijia and the Great Shang Empire back then!"

"I know a little bit." Xia Tian said.

"In fact, although Shang Jieao was brutal back then, there were so many masters in the Great Shang Empire back then that it was impossible for them to rebel, but something happened suddenly that year, causing all the masters in the entire Great Shang Empire to disappear, so their rebellion was successful, and even Shang Jieao himself disappeared in that incident." The owner said lightly.

Yeah!

Xia Tian nodded slightly: "I've heard about some, but why did the masters disappear back then, and where did they go after they disappeared?"

These are all very important questions.

"It was a vortex, a very large vortex. I actually wanted to go there back then, but because I was observed into a cave and couldn't get out, I missed that event. That event gathered all the masters on the Tianzhen Continent. As long as they were slightly stronger, they went there, and there were level restrictions. Those below the nineteenth level of the emperor level could not enter." The tavern owner explained patiently.

"So you were also a person above the 19th level of the emperor level back then?" Xia Tian heard him say that he wanted to go, but he missed it because he was locked in a cave, not because he didn't have enough strength.

So he guessed.

The tavern owner was also a person above the 19th level of the emperor level back then.

"Yes, I was a person above the 20th level of the emperor level back then, but because I took the fruit of life, my strength could not be improved, and the longer I lived, the more my strength would decrease. Gradually, I became like this now. I estimate that when my strength drops to a few million combat power, I should be close to death." The tavern owner was not afraid of death at all, and he was very frank when he talked about such things.

"It's amazing." Xia Tian sighed.

"There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained. That vortex back then was like this. It is said that there are treasures flying out of that vortex continuously, and those who went there finally rushed into the vortex to look for treasures, but in the end, no one came out alive, and the vortex also completely disappeared from the Tianzhen Continent." The tavern owner is still very familiar with what happened back then.

This was the first time Xia Tian heard about the whole process of the masters' disappearance.

"It turns out that all the masters back then were absorbed by the vortex." Xia Tian nodded slightly.

"Yes, they never returned. It was because of that incident that all the masters of Tianzhen Continent disappeared. It was also because of that incident that the Baijia family was able to overthrow the Great Shang Empire." The tavern owner explained.

"But I heard that the people of the Baijia family killed Shang Jieao with their own hands." Xia Tian said.

"That was just to establish prestige. In fact, even if they caught Shang Jieao, who would dare to kill Shang Jieao? The heads of the Baijia family back then were all Shang Jieao's biological sons. It was a great rebellion for a son to kill his father. Even if the father was wrong, they could not just kill their father casually. Moreover, Shang Jieao's ability back then was not weak." The tavern owner shook his head.

Shang Jieao was the emperor of the Great Shang Empire, and his strength was definitely not too weak.

"By the way, you were an expert in the second level of the Emperor level back then, so what level were you at back then?" Xia Tian was very curious about the strength of the experts who disappeared back then.

After all, he had learned before that it was really an era of strong people.

"It's considered to be in the middle and upper levels. There is a big gap between the Emperor level 20th level, and at that time, there were also many kinds of martial arts, weapons, elixirs, and formations, which were also more advanced than now. There were many factors to consider in the battle between the two sides, and there were many experts who passed the tribulation at that time. Experts who passed the tribulation can be divided into three stages: the front, the middle, and the back. There were also many experts who passed the tribulation in the late stage, and there were even people who passed the tribulation to perfection. They were called half-step immortals." The tavern owner was very patient.

Although so many years have passed, he still remembers these important things very clearly.

"Are there many experts above the 20th level of the Emperor level?" Xia Tian asked again.

"Many, that vortex event swallowed up millions of masters in total. You can imagine that every one of them is a master of the 19th level or above. If you calculate this way, you should know how many masters there were on the Tianzhen Continent back then." The tavern owner explained.

Millions!

Suck!

When Xia Tian heard this number, he also took a breath of cold air.

This is really an era of strong people.

Although there are many masters of the 20th level of the emperor on the Tianzhen Continent now, they are definitely not as terrifying as such a huge number.

Xia Tian roughly calculated that there should be less than 3,000 masters of the 20th level of the emperor on the Tianzhen Continent before the Hundred Family Conference.

This also includes the top masters hidden in every corner of the Tianzhen Continent.

This number can only be counted if all are counted.

But back then, there were millions of people above the 19th level of the emperor. Even if most of them were people of the 19th level of the emperor, the number of people above the 20th level of the emperor was very terrifying and could not be calculated at all.

"Yes, that's why I said that with the strength of the Baijia back then, it would be absolutely impossible to overthrow the Great Shang Empire under normal circumstances. The Great Shang Empire was completely disintegrated because it was leaderless, and the rebels were all princes from all over the country." said the tavern owner.

Hearing the words of the tavern owner, Xia Tian was really enlightened.

Compared with the past, the current Tianzhen Continent is really nothing.

"I tell you this not to tell you how great it was in the past, but to tell you that being alive is the most important thing. No matter how glorious you were in the past, if you can't survive, everything is in vain, and you will eventually be abandoned by the stage of history." The tavern owner glanced at Xia Tian, ​​and then continued: "Over the years, I have seen too many geniuses, but most of them have fallen. You are the best I have ever seen, so I don't want you to fall in the future."

"Yeah!" Xia Tian nodded slightly: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The other party told him so much, Xia Tian thought that the other party must have something he wanted to ask him for help.

"It's nothing actually. These waiters here have been following me for a long time. They all come from humble backgrounds and it hasn't been easy for them to get to where they are now. I hope you can help them." The tavern owner spoke.
