~8 min read 1,481 words

Southeast.

Twenty thousand miles away, the pupils of the female disciple dressed in the attire of the Seventy-Seven Craters trembled, as a fierce and wild aura rushed towards her, instantly locking onto her.

Roar! Roar!

From the vast wilderness, pairs of sinister eyes shot over. Yes, they were the original inhabitants of the Jade Bamboo Range, Little White Spirit's fierce beast followers, sworn to protect the Spiritual Medicine Garden of the Five Aggregates Sect!

"Junior... junior... Jiugong Mountain, Peak Master... Yuhua Qian."

The woman showed fear, her small fists clenched tightly, almost sweating, as she whispered, "I came to seek a spiritual herb, the Nine Palaces Lotus, and brought Elder Daotian's letter of introduction and Ancestor Bull's token of permission."

"Hmph, hold on, let this guardian beast check the sect's registry!"

White Spirit spat on the ground, taking out an oversized booklet—the Five Aggregates Sect Registry—and carefully examined it, "Hmm... Jiugong Main Peak, yes, Yuhua Qian?"

"Boss, is she an imposter? There's no such person!" a fierce beast shouted loudly, "How dare someone come to our Five Aggregates Sect to steal precious herbs!"

"Shut up, aren't we checking?" White Spirit screeched, frowning slightly, flipping through the pages with its wing feathers, "Oh... found it, there is such a person."

The fierce beast that had spoken earlier immediately wilted, lowering its head with an embarrassed smile.

"Alright, little ones, next, verify the soul, verify the bloodline, verify the soul age, and see if they match the remnants in the sect's registry."

Little White Spirit waved its wing feathers, solemnly declaring, "We must not be careless, everything must be done according to sect rules. Anyone who dares to slack off will be released by the sect!"

Hearing the word "released," the pupils of the fierce beasts shrank. They wanted to stay in the Jade Bamboo Range, to stay here!

They hurriedly stepped into the air, a chaotic group, making strange noises in the air: "Apologies to the inner disciple whose identity is uncertain, but that's what the sect rules say!"

Upon hearing this, Yuhua Qian in the distance became secretly nervous... Are there really so many cumbersome rules in this sect?!

She wasn't from any boundary, but a human from the Boundless Great World who came to the small boundary in the century after Chen Xun opened the heavens, of course, as an Elemental Infant phase rogue cultivator.

She later crossed the Tian Duan Plains, went to the eastern part of Kingdom Qian, joined the Moon Tower, and became friends with Jiang Xuechen.

The reason she could find Jiang Xuechen so precisely was naturally related to the Jiang family, one of the eight royal families of the human race...

Yuhua Qian was a daughter of a branch of the Jiang family, tasked with bringing back Jiang Xuechen from the Jiang family of the small boundary. The latter's lineage had calculated something with great cause and effect, resulting in a severed bloodline and great ominousness.

The Jiang family of the Boundless Great World was very clear about what this thing was.

As for why they sent an unknown junior, it was naturally to avoid being targeted by other powerful races.

If targeted, the Human Emperor boundary might be destroyed even faster, and not a single living being would escape.

The weak, on the contrary, serve as the best disguise.

Yuhua Qian was somewhat muddled, truly naive and innocent.

She was quite unaccustomed to the small boundary, as if she had entered a primitive forest, where the boundary cultivators were no different from wild monkeys.

Yuhua Qian was very confused, not very scheming, utterly ordinary, and her highest level of plotting was instead so simple and unadorned. She was just an ordinary relative of the Jiang family.

After finding Jiang Xuechen, her first words were, "Do you want to come with me to the Three Thousand Great Worlds?"

She had no idea that the boundary would be destroyed, with powerful beings from the Immortal Hall constantly monitoring the boundary's coordinates. As a mere Elemental Infant cultivator, how could she come into contact with matters beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds?

And the Jiang family told her nothing, fearing that powerful beings might deduce something.

Naturally, Jiang Xuechen refused, looking at her as if she were crazy.

This person was clearly a cultivator from Da Li, and she was waiting at Jiugong Mountain for two seniors to return. Why would she run around with a little girl like you?!

Yuhua Qian was completely dumbfounded, trying to persuade her with emotion and reason, saying, "What are you doing staying here? Go to the Great World!"

Even if the spiritual qi of this small boundary was recovering, the dogs of the Great World wouldn't come here, she absolutely wasn't lying to Jiang Xuechen.

She even said that any small sea area there was hundreds or thousands of times larger than this small boundary, and the spiritual qi was incomparable.

The mineral veins here were all inferior spirit stones, used to feed small spirit beasts in the Qi cultivation phase, and even the dogs of the Great World wouldn't eat them!

There was absolutely no need to stay in such a tiny place. If cultivators don't seek higher immortal paths, what are they doing staying here?

These words really made Jiang Xuechen laugh in anger. If it weren't for the fact that this girl was so simple-minded, she would have been kicked out of Jiugong Mountain long ago. Clearly, she hadn't experienced the harshness of the world of cultivating immortality.

Who knows which family's young lady ran to the world of immortals in Kingdom Qian.

Seeing this, Yuhua Qian also realized she had said something wrong. She wasn't completely foolish and knew she could only gently persuade.

She didn't bring any treasures from the Great World to the small boundary, saying that they were too contaminated with the aura from there and would attract the attention of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance. The human race had long known the coordinates of this boundary.

However, due to its special nature, the gaze of the strongest myriad clans had never slackened for a moment. If the human race dared to forcibly protect the Human Emperor boundary, the strongest myriad clans would have a reason to start a war.

They couldn't just watch as the small boundary devoured the essence of the great world, growing stronger and stronger.

Since the emergence of the Human Emperor, the small boundary had completely become a reserve camp for the human race. By the time the myriad clans of the great world realized it, it was already too late, and they could only keep a close watch.

During the Era of Great Slaughter among the Myriad Clans, the bloodthirsty slaughter caused by the human race cast too large a shadow over every race. Rising from being mere blood food, the ferocity and killing intent that erupted were unimaginably terrifying.

There are wild rumors that during that time, the human race, apart from humanoid races, used the myriad clans as food, with ancient clans like the ancient dragon clan and Rosefinch being dishes on the table...

Of course, the immortal history doesn't record this, mostly praising the achievements of the Human Emperor and the rise of the human race.

This also created a misconception that the Human Emperor boundary, the Human Emperor bloodline, must have world-shaking legacies, must bring great calamity!

To this, the human race could only scoff, "Nonsense about bloodline legacies, do you think we are like those creatures favored by heaven and earth? The human race has always relied on itself."

The Human Emperor boundary had nothing special about it. Even the most magnificent legacies had long been eroded by time, worn away completely.

But the other great clans didn't believe it. Who didn't know about the human race's patience? Who didn't know about the human race's ability to hide? No matter what you say, even if it's flowery, we'll just keep watching...

Such rogue behavior also made the Boundless Human Clan very annoyed, having to use some simple, unremarkable methods to connect with people.

However, the strongest myriad clans of Boundless weren't entirely wrong. There was indeed one human clan with a bloodline legacy—

That was the Bai Li clan, but the bloodline carried the human race's battle intent, not some innate divine ability.

Later, Yuhua Qian also became somewhat silent. Since Jiang Xuechen had the intention to leave, just waiting for the two seniors, she waited patiently...

When those three massive warships arrived a hundred years later, she was dumbfounded, completely unaware of why the great world powerhouses would be interested in the small boundary of living beings, even thinking they were starry sky thieves!

But even starry sky thieves were powerful beings, otherwise, how could they establish themselves in the Void Land? But why would they be interested in barren lands...!
