Chapter 806: The Mountain-Sea Domain

~11 min read 2,127 words

Carrying this vigilance, Xu Qing did not choose to speed through the sky, but instead moved forward through the rainforest, using the environment of the rainforest to cover his tracks.

At the same time, he released the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor to circle around him and scout ahead; just like this, five days passed.

In these five days, he saw some cultivators participating in the Great Hunt of this second stage, among whom were some Xu Qing had an impression of having challenged him before.

However, right now, Xu Qing was in no mood to pay them too much attention, and before the other party could notice him, he had already left.

At the same time, he also encountered many fierce beasts in this rainforest, whether they were perched on tree branches or hidden in the silt, they were countless.

There were even some with strange shapes, for instance, a mountain range that suddenly trembled and rose from the ground to form a giant with many arms, taking large strides as it stepped past in front of Xu Qing.

For example, suns with legs and feet, some big and some small, running hand in hand, or a giant centipede singing songs, and a mushroom that followed hopping and skipping after seeing Xu Qing.

There were also monsters that looked like big trees, but in reality, their noses and bodies were sleeping within the earth.

Even the wind that blew made Xu Qing's eyes narrow; that wind appeared invisible, yet it was substantial, only it was transparent.

If Xu Qing's perception hadn't been sharp, he feared that without noticing, he would have crashed directly into it.

There were also some eerie things like ghosts and monsters, which were even more numerous: flying heads, walking skeletons, and singing voices that brought icy coldness wherever they passed.

Whether tangible or intangible, they gave Xu Qing the feeling that this Mountain-Sea Domain was like an alien world; the abilities and appearances of many fierce beasts overturned his cognition.

Headless giant beasts, long hair flying in the silt, and broken divine palaces that emitted a dangerous aura, and even more, some faceless withered people carrying stone tablets.

Just like at this moment, Xu Qing flew over a sea of flowers in a rainforest; this sea of flowers was colorful, moving on the ground to form waves, and wherever it passed, all vegetation and all fierce beasts were submerged and swallowed, becoming a part of the sea of flowers.

And looking closely, one could see that this so-called sea of flowers was actually transformed by colorful toads; every jump they made was a surging wave...

But this was not the terrifying part; the most horrifying thing about this sea of flowers was a broken divine statue at its core, carried by countless toads.

That divine statue had its chest exposed, was in the appearance of a male, and had four heads, all of which had their eyes closed; one hand held a baby in front of its chest, while the other hand was propping up its chin, emitting bursts of faint snoring sounds.

As the sea of flowers moved, it spread out, and its broken part was that its body was only half, and the four heads each had missing parts, especially the baby in its arms, which was the same.

Xu Qing saw it from afar, and his mind tightened; this was the seventeenth divine statue he had seen in these five days.

Each one was different, but the feeling they gave him was that they existed with danger, just like those divine palaces and ruined halls.

And these divine statues were also all broken, not a single one was complete, and some even looked as if they had been hacked to pieces in the past.

The one he was looking at right now could already be considered very well-preserved.

"What kind of things happened in this Mountain-Sea Domain many years ago...!"

With so many temples and so many broken great divine statues, a strange feeling rose in Xu Qing's heart; he bypassed that sea of flowers, thinking while moving forward in the predetermined direction.

But just after he had sped for another incense stick of time, Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed, his body retreated violently, and he even soared into the sky at high speed.

Almost the moment his figure left its original position, the area where he had previously been exploded, and a huge black hole appeared.

This black hole did not appear suddenly without any reason; the cause of its formation came from the earth.

In the rainforest on the ground, within that swamp, lay a broken divine statue that was a full ten thousand zhang in size; its body was shattered and incomplete, but its head was still relatively clear, especially the position of the mouth, which had no breakage at all, and it was breathing.

Every breath would cause a black hole to appear in mid-air, and at the same time, a deterrence at the level of life was emitted from this huge broken divine statue.

Even though Xu Qing's cultivation base was not bad and his combat power was astonishing, and he possessed a divine state, at this moment he was still deterred by this aura and had to choose to bypass it.

At the same time, the voice of the divine finger came from within Ding Yisaner in his body: "Here... this..."

In the trembling voice, Xu Qing's heart stirred: "Keep talking!"

The divine finger shivered and spoke in a low voice: "Gods have died here, not just a few gods, but many gods have died here. Heavens, how did I not know about this? I've never heard of it."

"Is it possible that when your main body first descended, you were always in a deep sleep, and later when you were separated, you were also suppressed and in a deep sleep?" The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor flew over from afar with a 'whoosh' and transmitted a divine thought.

The divine finger was silent; it wanted to say something, but it also knew that the other party's status in Xu Qing's heart was probably higher than its own, so it snorted in its heart and ultimately did not refute.

Xu Qing did not pay attention to the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor's words; he recalled the broken divine statues he had seen along the way and looked at this rainforest, his eyes slowly narrowing as he took a deep breath.

The aura here appeared normal, but for Xu Qing, who was very knowledgeable about pharmacology, he still smelled a faint bloody scent within it, coming from the silt, from the vegetation, from the stones, and from the heavens and earth.

It seemed that all things in this world were emitting a bloody scent.

"So many gods have died here, then who was the opponent of the gods?" Xu Qing only had a superficial understanding of the Yan Yue Yanyue Xuantian Clan and did not know the specifics, so he lacked clues and found it difficult to find an answer.

So he glanced at the huge divine statue on the ground and bypassed it along its edge; just as he was about to speed up, at this moment, a whistling sound came from the distant horizon, and seven or eight long rainbows appeared.

Like Xu Qing, they chose to bypass the area where this huge divine statue was located in mid-air first.

Thus, they saw Xu Qing, and Xu Qing also saw the people coming; among these seven or eight, there were Yan Yue clansmen, as well as other affiliated clans, and among them was even a Si E clansman.

It was clearly a temporarily formed small team; after seeing Xu Qing clearly, the expressions of these seven or eight people changed instantly, and they instinctively retreated, keeping a long distance. After being silent for a few breaths, the leading Yan Yue cultivator bowed to Xu Qing from afar, then turned and flew away at high speed.

The followers behind him were also shocked in their hearts and bowed one after another; the Si E clansman among them had his eyes flicker, and he quickly lowered his head, choosing to bow just like the others.

They had seen the battle outside the Holy City before, which had also stirred up huge waves in their hearts, so they did not dare to approach at this moment.

Xu Qing's gaze swept coldly, and noticing that the other party had not obtained any exotic beasts, he had no interest in attacking.

With a flicker of his body, he left toward his destination; noticing Xu Qing disappear, this group of cultivators who were rapidly widening the distance all breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at each other, they all noticed the hesitation in each other's expressions, but the Si E clansman among them did not have any hesitation and immediately took out a sound transmission jade slip, intending to transmit a message.

But the moment his hand gripped the sound transmission jade slip, a cold voice came from the void beside him.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as this voice came out, the expressions of these seven or eight cultivators changed drastically, especially that Si E clansman, who gasped, instinctively wanting to transmit the message into the jade slip immediately, but he was a step too late.

A hand stretched out from the void beside him, grabbed his palm, and squeezed it slightly, crushing his hand along with the jade slip inside; flesh and blood were mixed with the jade fragments.

When the shrill scream brought by the excruciating pain came from the mouth of this Si E clansman, Xu Qing's figure in his fourth-layer divine state walked out from the void and grabbed the Si E clansman by the neck.

The other cultivators around were trembling in their hearts and immediately retreated, but they could not retreat too far; the blood-colored tentacles emitted from Xu Qing's body had already landed in front of their faces.

It seemed that if they moved again, they would be instantly pierced through the center of their brows, so they each paused, looking in horror at Xu Qing, who had returned.

"It's understandable that others bow when they see me, but it's a bit strange for you, a Si E clansman, to bow to me. Especially since your eyes look a bit wrong, and I remember I have observed you. You launched a challenge against me before." Xu Qing spoke calmly.

The facts were indeed so; Xu Qing was meticulous, and although he had left before, this small doubt still made him rise in vigilance, so he came back to take a look, and as a result, he saw the other party wanting to transmit a message.

"Speak, who are you transmitting to?" Xu Qing said lightly.

The Si E clansman's eyes revealed panic, and just as he was about to speak, the Yan Yue Yanyue Xuantian clansman among the crowd who had retreated not far away suddenly spoke: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I'll tell you!"

"Ji Dongzi released news five days ago, searching for your tracks, telling everyone who sees you to inform him; this Si E clansman must have wanted to transmit a message for this reason."

This Yan Yue Yanyue Xuantian clansman was a smart person; he did not want to be implicated by this Si E clansman who was seeking his own death, and he also knew Xu Qing's decisiveness in killing, so he understood that if the Si E clansman took the initiative to reveal the answer, his own life and death would be in Xu Qing's hands, but if he spoke first, the possibility of survival would greatly increase.

The other cultivators also reacted and spoke one after another; Xu Qing glanced at the Si E clansman in his hand, noticed the panic in his aura, and had the answer in his heart, so his right hand squeezed.

With a 'crack', he collapsed him, destroying both body and soul; at the same time, the other few were also shocked in their hearts, each silencing themselves, trembling with fear as they looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's gaze swept over them, and the poison prohibition was emitted; these few felt it, and their faces turned pale.

"If you can survive until the end of the second stage, come find me to detoxify." Xu Qing said lightly, his body flickering and disappearing without a trace.

In mid-air, the cultivators, including that Yan Yue Yanyue Xuantian clansman, were all silent, but they had no choice.

Thus, they left silently in bitterness; until they were far away, Xu Qing's figure appeared from the side, his brows furrowed.
