Chapter 974

~12 min read 2,367 words

In the era of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, although Wanggu was only divided into Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern boundaries, the regional boundaries were not clear, and Xuanyou also intended to fade the boundaries!

Until Xuanyou left Wanggu and the Remnant Face descended, everything changed!

Catastrophe shrouded the Wanggu continent, ten thousand races continuously experienced death and war; some races disappeared forever, some races rose against the trend, finally evolving into five great powerful races!

Among them, the Yanyue Xuantian Race appeared in the East, the Beiming Royal Race rose in the North, the Chidi Daluo Race rose in the West, the Youming Yuanhai Race approached in the South, and the first powerful race occupied the center of Wanggu!

These five great races stood tall in Wanggu, becoming the peak of the current world!

And because the Human Emperor of Lixia became a god, stepping onto the divine platform, leading the human race to rise, and allying with Yanyue, becoming one of the six great powerful races of Wanggu, the power of the Eastern Boundary surpassed the West, South, and North, for a time chasing the first powerful race!

Its ferocity can be seen through the current war in the Sacred Land; in the center, no Sacred Land descended!

In the East, the battlefield was controlled outside the array!

In the West, South, and North, war was spreading, with countless deaths and injuries on both sides!

Especially in the North, in these half a year, there were frequent great battles with the four Profound-level Sacred Lands that descended here!

Even if the Beiming Royal Race was strong, they gradually became somewhat strained!

So looking around, the entire northern ice plain was no longer the white of the past; many areas within it... had been stained with blood!

Xu Qing and Chen Erniu walked into the Northern Boundary in such an environment!

Feeling the cold wind of the Northern Boundary, gazing at the endless glaciers of the Northern Boundary, smelling the bloodiness formed by death within heaven and earth, even Chen Erniu had fewer words!

The howling of the cold wind was more like sobbing, bringing a sense of the withering of life!

The ice plain mixed with blood under their feet could see many skeletons frozen into ice sculptures amidst the shocking sight!

Maintaining their posture before death!

"Compared to the Eastern Boundary, this place... is too tragic!"

Xu Qing gazed into the distance, whispering!

"So it's better not to go too deep!"

"How about here? Anyway, the place we need

is under the glacier!"

Chen Erniu's gaze fell on a skeleton not far away, sighing!

Xu Qing nodded, withdrawing his gaze from the distant sky, looking at the glacier under his feet, lifting his right foot and just about to step down, wanting to collapse the glacier!

But just at this moment, his expression suddenly moved!

The howling of the wind brought a sound that didn't belong to the wind, forming a picture in Xu Qing's divine authority!

Someone, in the distance... was being hunted!

The one being hunted was a middle-aged cultivator, his skin color blue, clearly not human, cultivation at the first stage of Returning Void!

His clothing was magnificent, wearing a purple-gold crown, clearly someone of extraordinary status!

Dark snowflake patterns were embroidered on his robes; as he moved forward, these snowflakes formed illusions, circling outside his body, drawing in the cold air from all directions, forming a storm to add to his own speed. The pursuers were two people, with cultivation equivalent to his, also at the first stage of Returning Void, wearing silver long robes, with scales on their brows, tails behind them, and horns on their heads!

Their bodies contained a trace of starry sky aura!

This aura also revealed the identity of these two alien races; they were not cultivators native to Wanggu, but came from outside the sky, from the Sacred Land!

At this moment, with killing intent in their eyes, they pursued rapidly, and while galloping, they formed seals, with spells flashing brilliant light, bombarding the middle-aged cultivator in front!

Although hunted and hit, with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, this middle-aged cultivator's expression was normal, without the slightest panic, very composed!

Relying on the speed he was good at, he kept trying to widen the distance!

Even though the effect was minimal, the two sides grew closer and closer, and the spells became more numerous, causing him to be bombarded many times, even spitting out a large mouthful of blood, but his expression still didn't have half a point of panic, as if he didn't care about his own injuries at all, and didn't take the death that would appear after being caught to heart!

This strange scene was sensed by Xu Qing, and not long after, it was also seen by Chen Erniu!

"This person's clothing is of the Beiming Royal Race, somewhat interesting. Could it be that they know we are here? Or does this person have other means? Otherwise, how could he be so composed!"

Chen Erniu was curious!

Xu Qing's expression was calm, his gaze falling on the three people chasing in the sky!

These three would soon approach in the sky, but with their cultivation, they naturally couldn't detect Xu Qing and Chen Erniu in their hidden state!

But I don't know if it was a coincidence, the moment they approached Xu Qing and the two, the two pursuers from the Sacred Land launched a killing blow; amidst the roaring of spells, the hunted Beiming Royal Race cultivator couldn't dodge in time, his body shook, and blood spat out!

As his figure stumbled, his path was blocked, and he had to head straight for the ice plain ground!

As the two Sacred Land cultivators approached with killing intent, these three actually started fighting directly a hundred feet in front of Xu Qing and Chen Erniu!

Booming sounds echoed, spell light erupted!

This strange scene made Xu Qing and Chen Erniu frown!

"This is too coincidental, actually fighting in front of us!"

Chen Erniu narrowed his eyes!

It's just that looking at the moves of these three, they were indeed trying to kill each other, and judging from their expressions, they clearly really didn't detect anyone nearby!

So Chen Erniu planned to continue watching, to see if these three would really die!

After all, the appearance of these three was full of coincidences, and when coincidences reach a certain degree, it is bizarre!

However, after Xu Qing sized them up carefully, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly lifted his right hand, waving it!

With this wave, the sounds made by the three cultivators fighting seemed to be pinched off, disappearing in an instant, then forming invisible killing intent, and erupting in an instant!

Wherever it passed, it became a sonic boom; the two Sacred Land cultivators' expressions changed, horrified, wanting to dodge but it was too late, and they were shrouded by the sonic boom instantly!

Amidst the booming sounds, their bodies collapsed, torn apart, their forms and spirits destroyed!

Only blood spilled, staining the ground red!

As for the middle-aged Beiming Royal Race cultivator, he was also shaken by this sudden change, his heart churning, instinctively retreating, looking around rapidly!

Nothing detected!

Xu Qing and Chen Erniu's concealment made everything in the eight directions look empty in this cultivator's eyes!

After a long while, this Beiming Royal Race cultivator took a deep breath, bowing toward mid-air!

"Little one, Long Jiu of the Beiming Royal Race, many thanks to the senior for saving my life!"

"Since the benefactor is unwilling to show himself, the junior will not force it, but this grace will be remembered by the junior in my heart. In the future, if the benefactor comes to my Beiming Royal Race, you can find me with this token. Whatever you command, Long Jiu will do my best!"

This middle-aged cultivator's attitude was sincere, but his expression was neither humble nor arrogant; as he spoke, he took out a silver-white token shining with brilliant light, placing it on the ground!

Then he bowed again, waiting for a moment, and seeing no response from the surroundings, he took a deep breath, stood up, swayed, and headed straight for the horizon!

Half a day later, the token left by Long Jiu flew up on its own, landing in Chen Erniu's hand!

"Somewhat interesting

This token is actually crafted from ice crystal, and the quality is top-notch. This Long Jiu... looking at his temperament, it is also extraordinary, and his actions are like this... he should have some status within the Beiming Royal Race!

"If we go to this race in the future, maybe this person will really be of some use!"

"But everything before was still too coincidental. Little A-Qing, why did you take action just now?"

Chen Erniu played with the token in his hand, looking toward Xu Qing!

Xu Qing looked in the direction Long Jiu left, slowly speaking!

"This person is indeed not simple; on his body... there is a trace of divine authority fluctuation!"

"Divine authority?"

Chen Erniu's gaze condensed!

"It should be an extremely rare divine authority... in a state of being about to bloom, it will take some time to fully manifest. After we finish dealing with Feng Lin Tao's affairs, I plan to explore it!"

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand, the sun rose into the sky, then he lifted his right foot and stepped on the ground!

Immediately, the glacier ground collapsed silently, collapsing over a large area, and his figure also sank!

Chen Erniu blinked, also walking into the ice cave in the ground!

The two figures disappeared inside!

Under the glacier, in that ice river, they sped downward!

The place they needed to go was icy to the extreme, not allowing a single bit of heat energy to exist in their bodies, so that it would meet the requirements of the inheritance hidden in Feng Lin Tao's soul!

So they had to head to the bottom of this ice river.

And the sun above the ice cave outside reversed at this moment, the power of time spread, and immediately the shattered glacier ground recovered as before!

The sundial blurred and disappeared!

Time passed slowly like this,

Seven days passed!

Northern ice plain, tens of thousands of miles away from where Xu Qing and the two disappeared

, there was a huge glacier!

Compared to other places, there was slightly less heterogeneous matter here, so it was originally a gathering place for many small sects, but with the arrival of the war, some were conscripted, some migrated, so now the only one left was the Binghe Sect!

This sect was very small, with less than a hundred disciples, living very bitterly on weekdays, and the appearance of the war made them even more bitter!

At this moment, a figure whistled from the horizon, flying into the main hall of this sect, revealing his figure!

It was none other than Long Jiu, who had been saved by Xu Qing!

Now his composure was replaced by pride; after sitting down in the main hall, a disciple walked in from the main hall, bowing toward him with a worried face!

"Paying respects to Master!"

This was Long Jiu's eldest disciple!

Noticing the worried look on the eldest disciple's face, Long Jiu raised his eyebrows!

"What happened?"

"Master... today, another eleven disciples in the sect chose to leave. Now there are only thirty-seven people left in the entire sect, and everyone's cultivation resources are seriously lacking. If this continues..."

Long Jiu smiled upon hearing this!

"No matter, people have their own aspirations, Master will succeed soon!"

The eldest disciple sighed upon hearing this, knowing that Master had already fallen into obsession and was hard to persuade, so he asked!

"Master, how was the harvest from going out this time?"

Long Jiu laughed!

"Every ten times I go out, I must encounter danger, and every time I encounter danger, I encounter a benefactor."

"This time, luck exceeded the past; after trekking all the way, I encountered three waves of benefactors."

Looking at Master's proud look, this eldest disciple thought of the bitter days of the sect and couldn't help but persuade him again!

"Master, the spirit stones for the disciples' cultivation are all gone, how about... we sell a token? Just sell one..."

Long Jiu frowned upon hearing this!

"Short-sighted."

"Master is relying on my own luck to make a name for myself."

"You must know that those benefactors who saved me are all big shots. In the future, when they pass by the Beiming Royal Race, they will definitely think of me, and then mention me to the strong ones in the clan!"

"At first, the big shots in the clan might not know who I am!"

"But the more benefactors go, the more they mention me, the big shots of the Beiming Royal Race will naturally have a deep impression of me, and will also let more clansmen know who I am!"

"Moreover, every benefactor is my connection. I must repay their life-saving grace, this is cause and effect."

"Let all the big shots become my benefactors, then tell me, can I not be famous? And after I have such a name, what will I not have?"

After speaking, Long Jiu looked at his eldest disciple, thinking that the other party had indeed suffered following him all these years, so he comforted him!

"You wait a little longer, I estimate that when the remaining seven tokens in my hand are all sent out, the timing will be about right. No more talking, Master will rest for a while, heal my injuries, and then continue to go out to find benefactors!"

The eldest disciple was silent, wanting to say something more, but seeing Master like this, he could only obey!

However, thinking that Master's luck had indeed been extraordinary over the years, encountering many life-and-death crises, but every time there were noble people to help!

So much so that Master thought of such a way to make a name for himself...

"Hope it works!"

The eldest disciple sighed!
