Chapter 779
"The purple-gold of the Yanyue Xuantian tribe is different from our human race. They forge gold with luck, use the creatures of the Divine Domain they kill as materials, and cooperate with the sacrifices of hundreds of Yanyue subordinate tribes, finally transforming the mysterious into purple, forming a set of Purple-Gold Xuantian Armor!"
The Captain looked at the terrifying figure in the sky and spoke in a low voice, his expression filled with envy, and his words carried a sigh.
"Back then, I was just a little bit away from being able to own a set of this Purple-Gold Xuantian Armor."
"Let me tell you, Little Ah Qing, in the Yanyue Xuantian tribe, this armor is not only a symbol of status, but it is also a magic treasure comparable to a taboo."
"And it is of the highest quality, with power that varies depending on the Divine Domain creatures killed."
The Captain stared fixedly at the departing Xuantian General, the longing in his eyes already thick enough to turn into substance.
Xu Qing also looked over; he also felt the extraordinary nature of that purple armor.
Especially the soul threads in his body, which all felt a sense of suppression the moment this armor appeared, which further showed the extraordinary nature of this Purple-Gold Xuantian Armor.
"And that Ghost Carriage is also a good baby. In the Yanyue Xuantian tribe, there is a special domain that the Yanyue call the Mountain-Sea Domain."
The Captain's transmission continued.
"The name is Mountain-Sea, but in reality, it is a place where all kinds of strange beasts gather, forming a beast domain."
"Over countless years, whether it's the beasts of this domain itself or the beasts the Yanyue Xuantian tribe brought from the outside, through accumulation, reproduction, and change, not only is the number astonishing now, but there are also too many unimaginable mutations."
"Forming many fierce beasts with various strange abilities, and this Ghost Carriage tribe is one of them."
"It is said that this beast lives by devouring souls. After growing to a certain degree, it can enter the dream sea with its soul sea and kill people invisibly, so the common people often call this beast a Nightmare."
The Captain licked his lips.
"Most importantly, it's delicious!"
"My information might be a bit outdated, but in the memories of that life of mine, there are only two recorded instances in history of a Ghost Carriage beast being successfully tamed."
Xu Qing's eyes flashed with light. He thought of the second stage of the Great Hunt mentioned by the Mud Fox. According to the Captain's information, it was clearly very likely that the place for this second stage was the Mountain-Sea Beast Domain.
So Xu Qing asked a question.
"Senior Brother, in the Mountain-Sea Beast Domain, are there any other more famous strange beasts or rankings?"
The Captain was immersed in the memory of tasting the Ghost Carriage's deliciousness. Upon hearing this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"There are rankings, but too much time has passed, and I don't remember them all. I only remember that in that life of mine, the Ghost Carriage beast was ranked ninth. The one ranked first was an existence named Nine Li. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it; it is said that very few people have seen it."
"So there aren't many descriptions of it circulating. The information given by the Divine Mountain only says that this beast has nine cages, which is vague."
Speaking of this, the Captain sighed.
"I once imagined that if I were wearing the Purple-Gold Xuantian Armor, stepping on a Nine Li beast, and eating Ghost Carriage meat while returning to the human race with great momentum, others would definitely be shocked. Unfortunately, unfortunately, it's all that old hag's fault!"
The Captain gritted his teeth and muttered a few words.
"The Fifth Imperial Prince, a disciple of the First Heavenly King, is the only surviving disciple of the First Heavenly King. He has spent years following the Heavenly King guarding the frontier; for the Human Race, he is the most meritorious among all the Imperial Princes."
As for the words about returning to the human race described by the other party, Xu Qing had a different opinion. He felt that if one returned to the human race dressed like this, while others might be shocked, it would also be inevitable that there would be a certain possibility of transferring part of the tribe's hatred over.
However, as long as the Captain was happy, Xu Qing did not disturb his regrets. He was just about to ask about other things, but the next moment, Xu Qing's expression changed, and he turned his head abruptly to look at the direction where the Xuantian General had left.
Wind and thunder suddenly rose there, coming from afar. In an instant, it was earth-shattering, deafening, and roaring continuously.
The sky also showed signs of shattering, forming dense cracks, like a mirror that had been smashed but not yet scattered.
As the clouds and mist were torn apart, a shrill sound came from the void. Wherever this sound passed, it possessed the power to pierce gold and split stone, extremely sharp, whipping up a storm.
The earth trembled, and the Xuanyue Workshop in mid-air also paused slightly.
Immediately after, an illusory figure that seemed to be composed of mist appeared from the place where the wind and thunder came, roaring toward the southwest, fleeing rapidly.
Behind this figure, the departing Xuantian General came slowly, stepping on the Ghost Carriage.
He held a long spear of ghostly fire, his eyes filled with indifference, his whole body shining with golden light like the sun. Looking at the fleeing misty figure, he spoke indifferently.
"Go back and tell your master that the little ghost is living very well here. And for the sake of the little ghost, I have spared your tribe three times, but next time, I will start killing."
His words each possessed the power of rules, forming a brand that fell behind the fleeing figure, turning into suppression, causing the figure to collapse dozens of times in succession before finally managing to escape and disappear.
With the disappearance of this figure, the Ghost Carriage under the Xuantian General let out a low roar, turned around, and flickered, taking its master toward the distance, slowly disappearing without a trace.
The heavens and earth recovered, and the Xuanyue Workshop in mid-air continued to move forward.
The Yanyue tribesmen within it all lowered their heads, their expressions respectful.
Xu Qing looked at this scene, his eyes revealing a touch of yearning.
He also wanted one day for his own combat power to reach the level of a Divine Repository. The Captain beside him clearly saw what Xu Qing was thinking and patted him on the shoulder.
"What's this? If I go all out and unseal my seal, I can also do this in an instant. As for you, Little Ah Qing, don't rush, don't rush."
The Captain blinked and turned to look at the Yanyue Workshop that was getting closer and closer.
"Let's go, let's go take a stroll."
Xu Qing nodded, withdrew his gaze from the direction where the Xuantian General had left, and moved forward with the Captain, heading straight for the Yanyue Workshop.
Here, the forbidden mountain above his head, although still unable to be put away, could be shrunk under the strangeness of the Yanyue Workshop's skull itself, floating and circling above it.
The way to enter the Yanyue Workshop was also very simple; just walk in.
But there were requirements for qualifications; only the Yanyue tribes could enter. If it were an outsider, a token was needed.
Xu Qing's token level was very high, which was enough. As for the Captain, he actually took out a token as well. Although it was not the qualification token for participating in the Great Hunt, it was possible to enter the Yanyue Workshop.
Thus, after the restriction swept over them, the two of them successfully walked on the streets of the Xuanyue Workshop.
Looking at the crowd around him and noticing that a small number of people inside also had forbidden mountains circling above their heads, Xu Qing confirmed the truth of what the Mud Fox had said, and the Captain also sighed.
"It seems this first stage really is mountain moving."
"However, we tried on the road, and this mountain cannot be put away. Now that it's just shrunk here in the Xuanyue Workshop, I know the difficulty of this first stage."
"This is to make people expose all the mountains to the open, and then fight and snatch them from each other."
"Little Ah Qing, bloodshed will be inevitable in this first stage."
"Look, many people's gazes are unkind after seeing that we are human."
The Captain whispered a transmission.
Xu Qing looked up and swept his gaze across the four directions. In this bustling marketplace, he also noticed many gazes landing on him—to be precise, landing on the forbidden mountain above his head.
"Control your expression; we must reveal fear and submissiveness. This is also the reason I brought you to the Xuanyue Workshop. We are here to fish..."
The Captain looked nervous.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing thought for a moment, and his face turned somewhat pale.
Just like that, the two moved forward all the way. As they observed, a marketplace full of exotic styles gradually unfolded completely before Xu Qing.
The buildings here, although they were also shops, didn't have many people coming in and out. The places with the most people were those individual stalls, which were full of all kinds of things.
Xu Qing even saw the flesh and blood of divine creatures, and the fluctuations emitted were clearly not weak. This was a rare item in the human race, but here, not to mention being seen everywhere, there was a wide range of choices.
The Yanyue tribe's territory was too large, which made the items traded within this tribe all-encompassing, and even items from other tribes appeared frequently.
As for the appearance of the living beings in the marketplace, it was the same.
Xu Qing swept his gaze and saw no fewer than hundreds of different tribes. If he had seen this scene before he embarked on the path of cultivation, he would definitely have thought he had come to a land of demons and monsters.
The Captain's experience was much richer than Xu Qing's, and he knew quite a bit about the Yanyue tribe. So after walking for a while, the Captain greeted Xu Qing, ran out by himself, and squatted in front of a blue stone man, bargaining with the other party.
Xu Qing continued to walk, looking at the stalls one by one, searching for items he was interested in.
"Poison herbs, there are actually quite a few."
In front of a stall, Xu Qing looked at the bottles, jars, and dried herbs placed there. After checking, he bought some. Until half an hour later, Xu Qing sighed in his heart.
"Spirit stones are not enough..."
He was interested in too many items in this marketplace, but the prices were all extremely astonishing. With Xu Qing's financial resources, the spirit stones he carried with him were not enough.
Unless he sold some of his own items.
He hadn't experienced this feeling of lacking spirit stones for a long time. The feeling at this moment reminded him of the days in the Nanhuang Continent.
"The prices of this Yanyue are a bit exaggerated."
Xu Qing shook his head and was about to send a transmission to the Captain, intending to leave this marketplace. But just at this moment, the head that had been integrated into his Divine Repository in Ding Yisaner and had been quiet for a long time suddenly emitted an excited divine thought.
"Great, handsome, invincible, and benevolent Guardian, I have sensed the aura of an old friend. Please allow us to reunite!"
Xu Qing's footsteps paused. In the Ding Yisaner cage, two had been missing all these years: one was the Scarecrow, and the other was the Millstone.
After the Fenghai County Prison Department collapsed, these two had fled without a trace.
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. After looking around, he walked toward a larger stall not far away.
What was being sold there were some sundries, of all cultivation levels, scattered and spread all over the ground.
Among them was a scarecrow, missing an arm and a leg, lying in the sundries, looking at the sky with lifeless eyes.
Beside it was half a millstone.
Xu Qing's arrival, as the Guardian and the aura brought to him by the integration of Ding Yisaner, was sensed by the scarecrow in the dark. Its eyes, which were like stagnant water, suddenly fluctuated, turned abruptly, and landed on Xu Qing. After a moment of being stunned, it revealed excitement.
