Chapter 406

Many years ago, their desert was not yet a desert.

Back then, their land was still known as the region of Warm Wang Yang.

The climate here was scorching.

Temperatures remained above thirty degrees at all times.

But!

Trees were lush, and biodiversity was rich.

Yet, it seemed that on some day, a great disaster began.

From then on, yellow sands relentlessly consumed their homes.

Soon, a desert slowly emerged and expanded.

Their desert dwellers could only retreat further and further.

More and more sand lords appeared.

Making their lives even more dire.

Even other terrifying phantom beasts emerged.

They were living creatures—strange beings they had never seen before.

But!

They all shared one common trait.

That was to slowly turn their homeland into a lifeless sea.

A desolate vast desert.

So many years have passed.

Yet they have continued to fight, battling those monsters.

But!

Undoubtedly.

Those monsters have grown stronger and stronger.

While they themselves have grown weaker and weaker.

Slowly, some even gave up hope.

Finally!

They found something.

Something ancient.

Their ancestors left behind some ruins.

Telling them.

That if they found the Desert Sage,

they could lift the crisis.

And this stormy Lei Zhihe before them!

Is what their ancestors left behind to aid the Desert Sage in overcoming hardship.

Legend says!

The Desert Sage will lead them to defeat those monsters.

Drive back the demon that turned the entire region into a desert.

Bring water to irrigate the desert.

Let trees regain their vigor.

Let flowers and grass reappear upon their land.

"Hmm!"

"If that's the case, I'll accompany you on this journey!"

After hearing their story,

Chen Xuan understood.

It meant that terrifying phantom beasts had appeared in the desert.

And their ability was to turn forests into deserts.

Clearly, that was the culprit.

And the Nine Sky Storm Dragon's ability was to summon clouds and rain.

Indeed, it could rejuvenate plants.

As for the recorded Desert Sage,

he was unsure if it had anything to do with him.

According to their records,

he hadn't even been born back then.

Still, no matter what,

the Stormy Lei Zhihe,

Chen Xuan has already taken it.

It is a resource of great importance to him—he could never abandon it. It is the only way for the Nine Sky Storm Dragon to evolve into a mythic bloodline. "Really!!"

"Thank you, Desert Sage!" The three heard Chen Xuan's words!

They immediately became overjoyed.

They hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"What!"

"They took the sacred relic from inside the altar?" At this very moment!

In the desert region, in the place where the desert dwellers lived.

A middle-aged man's face drained of color in shock.

"That is an incomparably important item!" "How could he casually touch it!" "That fellow Long Wuyi!" Wu Lie roared out.

"I must find this fellow and teach him a lesson!" "Has he gone senile this early!"

After hearing the news brought back by his subordinate's investigation, his fury erupted.

Wu Lie charged toward Long Wuyi's tribe.
