Chapter 611: Chapter 154: Approaching the Mysterious Land (Part 1)

“What?”

Everyone’s eyeballs bulged out, they couldn’t believe it. How could the Bloodline Saint, a mere Saint, have obtained the Wilderness Divine Axe? Could it be that it was originally obtained by the first Realm Master of the Technology Mysterious Domain and then passed on to the Bloodline Saint?

Li Qingming was also at a loss, but these were secrets he unraveled from deep within the mind of Zhen Jia Daoist, so there could be no mistake.

Suddenly, he thought of Jack and the others in the Treasure Space, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned Jack.

The still somewhat dazed Jack looked around and said, “Jack has seen Lord!”

Li Qingming waved his hand, “No need for formalities! Jack, I want to ask you. Did your ancestor ever visit the Barbaric World before he perished?”

Jack scratched his head upon hearing this and after pondering for a while, said, “My ancestor, in pursuit of the Heavenly Dao Realm, traversed the entire Path to Heaven and should have visited it!”

“Really?” Man Niu stared intently at the blonde-blue-eyed Jack and pressed, “Tell me more.”

“I’m not sure of the details! I only know that after my ancestor left the Technology Mysterious City, he was never seen again, and several Calamities later, news of his demise reached us.” Sky Wolf said somewhat dejectedly, unsure why everyone was asking this.

“So, are you saying he never returned to the Technology Mysterious City after he left?” Li Qingming pinpointed a critical issue.

“Right!” Jack nodded affirmatively.

Li Qingming stroked his smooth chin and waved Jack back into the Treasure Space.

“It seems the Wilderness Divine Axe was not passed down by the Sky Wolf Ancestor to the Bloodline Saint. This clue has led to a dead end!” Li Qingquan frowned.

Man Niu’s expression dimmed, feeling somewhat disheartened.

“Hey, what does it matter, we’re going to the Technology Mysterious City anyway, just catch the Saint and ask him!” Yang Jian shrugged nonchalantly.

Man Niu’s eyes lit up, “Right! I can accompany you guys all the way to the Technology Mysterious City and find out about the Wilderness Divine Axe!”

“Buzz!”

At that moment, an immense aura emanated from the Long Xuhu behind them on the right. Having absorbed an entire Sleeping Lotus, it seemed Long Xuhu was waking up.

“Whoosh!”

A dazzling green light surged into the sky, staining the entire Heavenly Vault green. The overwhelming Sub-Saintly pressure cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire giant island.

Almost everyone sensed this mighty presence and turned pale.

Thousands of miles away, atop a bare mountain range.

The Desert King Huntian, standing on a golden Ancient War Chariot, his eyes cold as he gazed towards the green light in the southeast, muttered, “What formidable might, such rich Power of the Life Law! It seems someone has made a breakthrough. Humph, Late Sub-Saint… Late Sub-Saint…”

The green light persisted for half an hour before subsiding. Long Xuhu opened its eyes and looked at the people staring at it as if they were looking at a monster, puzzled, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Monster!” Li Qingquan oddly said.

“Amitabha Buddha, what a serendipitous opportunity!” Shakyamuni clasped his hands together, a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.

Yang Jian sourly said, “Freak, this freaking freak!”

Long Xuhu, with a mind full of black lines, suddenly leapt up, smacking Yang Jian on the head, and said, “You rascal, what nonsense are you spouting!”

Li Qingming smiled at the rowdy crowd and said, “Xu Hu, congratulations on your significant advancement in cultivation!”

Long Xuhu, embarrassed, rubbed the back of his head and said, “Hehe, it’s all luck! But, what exactly happened here?”

After speaking, he shockingly pointed at the chaotic ground all around, his mind still trying to recall the valley’s scenic beauty from an hour ago.

Li Qingming chuckled and said, “Let’s go, we’ve delayed here long enough. We can talk while we walk!”

Li Qingming then led everyone forward, explaining to Long Xuhu what had happened just before.

…

Perhaps because of the powerful mana fluctuations emitted during the previous battles, almost everywhere on their path, all fierce beasts were in utter panic, turning into torrents and fleeing through the dense forests and mountain ranges.

Truly petrified by the fierce and sinister aura sticking to the group, most fierce beasts and wild birds were already paralyzed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably before the group even got close.

After an hour, everyone had returned to calmness, the evil aura from slaying the Quasi-Saints and Sub-Saints had dissipated, their True Yuan subdued, and their minds and bodies entered a state of spiritual emptiness, speeding through the wilderness.

At this moment, the eastern road they were trekking along was nearly at its end, and they believed it would only take tens of thousands more miles to reach the central region.

“Innate Spirit Root, Golden Apple Tree!”

“Big brother, look quick, such a large cinnamon tree, we don’t even have this in Huaxia Land!”

“Erlang, you can’t just bite into that ginseng…”

Along the way, loud exclamations and calls from the group were frequent, as everyone truly immersed themselves in the work of digging.

On the island, there were tens of thousands of Innate Spirit Roots and millions of years old medicinal herbs, most of them blatantly exposed in the dense forest, since every three Calamities, the Cold Origin Ancient City would emerge from its Turtle Breath state, so they were preserved exceptionally well.

Of course, as they got closer to the center, the levels of fierce beasts appearing in front of them also increased, yet these beasts, completely lacking spiritual intelligence, were no match for the group at all. Long Xuhu alone dealt with all those attackers, proudly boasting that the capable ones should handle more tasks.

The group continued without encountering any real danger, until they were only a hundred miles away from the very center, then they acutely sensed a trace of death aura.

Ahead, dark clouds soared, covering the sky and sun, and a ghostly mountain of massive height filled with eeriness.

Through the light cast down by the stars, the group could faintly see a terrifying creature, fluttering its wings like a giant dragon of the Western lands, carrying an incredibly fierce aura, moving back and forth through the black clouds.

“Holy crap, what the heck is that thing? We can see its wings but not its body, and not even a roar, could it be a dead thing?” Long Xuhu looked up at the sky, as a cultivator who had sensed the Power of Life Law, he felt an inherent repulsion and disgust toward the aura here.

Li Qingming stood under the dark clouds, having sensed a profound sense of murderous intent and death aura as soon as he entered the area. It felt like being in a slaughterhouse, seemingly emanating from the ground.

“Big brother, what is that thing?” Suddenly, Li Qingquan seemed to notice something, pointing towards the front left direction of the group and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around abruptly only to see that the front was shrouded in thick fog, and within the mist, a pair of green, luminous eyes, like ghostly fires, stared intently at them.
