Chapter 1002: The Somber Dou Saint Relic

Of course, during this long period, there were indeed some non-bloodline top forces of the Central State that wanted to station there.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Clan said that if other forces were to station here, they would need to dispatch strong experts to guard this place, to prevent anyone from entering the Eastern Region to commit evil.

And this expense would naturally be borne by the forces that station here.

Furthermore, this place belongs to the Ancient Clan.

If the other party stations here, they would need to pay a large sum of money to the Ancient Clan at intervals as "rent".

These harsh conditions directly frightened away all forces that wanted to station here, causing them to give up on the spot.

Thus, over time, no one wanted to station here anymore.

However, although this place sees few visitors, the scenery is quite excellent.

The mountains here are continuous, rising and falling like green waves of the earth, rolling forward.

And the interconnected mountain ranges resemble a giant dragon winding and coiling, clad in a verdant robe, standing tall upon the earth.

However, between these rarely visited mountain ranges, two figures suddenly appeared from the distant horizon and continued flying toward the southeast.

"Eh, husband, although the battle qi here is somewhat weaker than that at our home in the Central Region, it is at least four to five times richer than that of my Yun Lan Sect. Moreover, along this way we have not seen any powerful magical beast clans, so why is it still so deserted?"

Yun Yun gazed down at the rapidly receding green vegetation and the constantly undulating mountains, her expression showing a hint of puzzlement.

"Hehe, this is the territory of the Ancient Clan. In this era when no Dou Emperor appears, those ancient races consider themselves inherently superior; even if they disdain these things, they would not relinquish them for others to use. Hence, this place has remained vacant."

Gazing at the primeval forest below that resembled a beast realm, Lin Feng let out a cold chuckle and then answered the former.

He had long known that there was a Dou Saint relic here, so he had also specially learned about this place; naturally, he knew the reason.

"No wonder."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately understood the reason.

It turns out that it's not that others don't want to come, but that they cannot come because of the Ancient Clan's reasons!

"Woo!"

After flying continuously for more than ten days, Lin Feng brought Yun Yun, and amidst a series of wailing sonic booms, they stopped before a towering mountain that reached into the heavens.

"Is this the place you spoke of where the Dou Saint relic is located?"

Looking at the peak before them, which was considerably higher than the surrounding mountains yet lacked any distinctive steepness, Yun Yun's peerless visage was filled with bewilderment.

Hearing this, Lin Feng gave a light chuckle and then said, "This is the place. First, release two human puppets to protect yourself; then we will enter."

"Okay."

Upon hearing his words, Yun Yun lightly nodded, then gently stroked her storage ring with her delicate hand.

Accompanied by a flash of faint light, two tall, dark-gray figures appeared at her sides.

Seeing that she now had protection, Lin Feng promptly tapped the void with his foot and shot up toward the mountain peak.

At the same time, Yun Yun likewise lightly tapped the ground with her jade foot, closely following behind her man.

As Lin Feng flew out, he also recalled the address given by Dan Yitian in his mind.

Finally, when he saw that four-fifths of the way up the mountain, a complete stone slab tens of meters wide was embedded in the mountain, his face immediately showed a hint of excitement.

"If I am not mistaken, that Dou Saint relic lies inside this stone slab."

Gazing at the stone slab before him, Lin Feng flickered and suddenly appeared on the lawn in front of the stone slab,

Hearing this, Yun Yun's pretty face also showed a hint of excitement.

She had spent ninety percent of her life training in the Yun Lan Sect; although she had recently come to the Central State, she had never ventured out for adventure.

Now, upon arriving before this Dou Saint relic, she could not help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

"Let's go, let's go inside and have a look."

Looking at his wife's excited demeanor, Lin Feng gave a light smile and then called for her to enter.

However, just as he stepped out, he stopped again in place.

Then he looked toward Yun Yun at his side and said, "Give me your hand, lest we be sent to different places inside the relic when the time comes."

"Mm."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun lightly nodded, then extended her jade arm and placed her jade hand in Lin Feng's palm.

Lin Feng then firmly grasped her soft, smooth little hand, and with a stomp of his foot on the ground, his figure shot forward like a bolt toward the stone slab!

As for the two human puppets, they silently followed the pair, charging together toward the stone slab.

"Buzz!"

As their figures swept past, the instant Lin Feng and the two made contact with the stone slab, they did not crash into the hard slab; instead, the stone slab suddenly rippled like water, and with a soft sound, the two persons and the puppets vanished into the slab.

After Lin Feng entered the stone slab, he only felt his feet suspended in midair, and the surroundings spun wildly.

This sensation persisted for a while before he finally felt his feet land once more on familiar ground.

Immediately afterward, he hurriedly opened his eyes, warily scanning the surroundings as a vast, surging soul power emanated from his body and spread outward.

As the soul power spread, an expansive, boundless stretch of flat grassland immediately appeared in his mind.

But soon, Lin Feng sensed something amiss, and he promptly raised his head, gazing forward.

Upon looking, he discovered that the grass within his field of vision had all turned slightly yellow, presenting a half-dead appearance.

Furthermore, it was not merely that these patches of grass were somewhat withered.

Even the battle qi energy of this small world felt to Lin Feng as if it had been diluted to an uncommon degree.

If one were to cultivate here, it would practically be a disaster!

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng could not help but feel a hint of bewilderment on his face.

According to reason, the interior of a Dou Saint expert's relic ought to be a flourishing land, with the battle qi energy between heaven and earth extraordinarily rich, just like the relic of a Creation Saint.

After all, having cultivated to the Dou Saint realm, there is no need to treat oneself so poorly.

Moreover, even if one simply opens up a space normally, without employing other methods to increase battle qi concentration,

the battle qi of heaven and earth would not become this thin!

Unless, there is some other unexpected factor appearing.

Just now, it caused this small world to become like this.

"Is this the remains of a Dou Sheng? How come it feels so desolate and gloomy?"

Looking at the yellowing spiritual grass before her, Yun Yun's originally excited expression froze instantly, her brows furrowed slightly in query, her demeanor also carrying a hint of puzzlement.

The scenery inside is vastly different from what she imagined.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but there should be no danger around here; let's fly over this patch of grass and go inside to take a look—we should be able to find the cause."

After confirming there was no danger around, Lin Feng immediately turned to Yun Yun beside him and said.

Because he faintly sensed it with his powerful soul power.

The douqi inside this small world seems to be gradually gathering toward the front of the lawn.

One would think the douqi energy inside this small world is quite abundant.

But something there is sucking away the surrounding energy.

Therefore, the environment of this small world has become like this.

"Good, I also have that intention."

As soon as his words fell, Yun Yun immediately agreed.

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately took Yun Yun's hand, and his figure suddenly shot forward.
