Chapter 206: The Anomaly Detected by Shushan!

It was also while Gu Jiangming was with Long Xi and the others at that boundary of the sea that more than half of the Shushan cultivation practitioners, who had been soaring through the blue void, had vanished without a trace from within the Shushan realm, which had been sealed for several hundred years.

If any practitioners from the human world were to visit Shushan, they would likely understand why such a commotion had occurred in the human world, yet Shushan had not provided the slightest bit of information.

It turned out that long before the disturbances in the Border Wilderness, Shushan had already perceived it early on—they had perceived that deep within the mountain forests of the Southern Kingdom, a region further south of Shushan, countless mountains were, as time passed, turning into barren hills one after another.

"Is Heaven and Earth dying?"

"What on earth is the reason that the Southern Border, where vitality is most abundant, is having its mountains turn into quicksand and dust one by one..."

At a boundary between desolation and prosperity, several Shushan practitioners of the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm stood there; these Shushan Heaven and Earth Enlightenment powerhouses gazed at the boundary of desolation and prosperity beneath their feet, their eyes filled with nothing but infinite worry.

This was not the Shushan powerhouses worrying needlessly, but rather that they had truly seen, seen that within the last hundred years, that nameless desolation had been spreading into the Heaven and Earth human world at a steady speed.

This was also the reason why these Shushan powerhouses said that Heaven and Earth was constantly dying.

"I don't know if Liuyu has managed to contact Mistress..."

"Mistress is a Jingwei divine bird, and the years she has lived are even more ancient; perhaps Mistress might know a thing or two about the reason why this Heaven and Earth is constantly dying?"

"If we cannot stop Heaven and Earth from dying, I fear that in another million years or so, our Human Race, and even the countless races between Heaven and Earth, will all have to perish along with Heaven and Earth!"

A Shushan Heaven and Earth Enlightenment powerhouse sighed softly; Liuyu going to find Jiu Jiu was done under their instruction.

In their view, Jiu Jiu had lived through long, long years and might know some inside information about the Nirvana of Heaven and Earth; as long as they could know why Heaven and Earth was entering Nirvana, they could always think of some ways to stop this process of Heaven and Earth's Nirvana, right? "Liuyu has been slow to send word; I fear she has not yet found Mistress..."

"Ever since Master fell, the connection between Mistress and Shushan has slowly broken, and Mistress has not even walked in the human world for three hundred years at her most recent."

"Under such circumstances, wanting to find Mistress is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Another Shushan sword hero of the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm sighed softly; he gazed at the desolate zone beneath them, the sorrow in his eyes becoming increasingly obvious.

And what these Shushan Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners did not know was that, at the same time in the Northern Border, the new patriarch of the Qilin Clan also had a sorrowful look on his face.

The Qilin Clan was a top-tier great clan of Heaven and Earth at the end of the Heavenly Human Era, and among them was born a supreme powerhouse of the Heavenly Human Realm like Zhou Kai, leaving a significant mark even at the end of the Heavenly Human Era.

Even though Zhou Kai later lost at the hands of Gu Jiangming, the Qilin Clan did not suffer any liquidation.

The Qilin Clan was also sensible, and because the original Qilin Clan was truly too close to the Human North Territory where Gu Jiangming resided, the ancestors of the Qilin Clan decided to go all the way, simply taking their own clan territory and moving hundreds of millions of miles deep into the Northern Border.

And the location of the Qilin Clan in the Northern Border could be considered the true center of the north between Heaven and Earth.

The current Qilin Clan naturally did not have the prosperity of the Heavenly Human Era, but within the Qilin Clan, the number of Qilin in the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm alone had reached nearly thirty.

With such a number, the Qilin Clan was naturally the undisputed hegemon in the Northern Border. The Qilin Clan even learned from the Human Race and built a Qilin Great City within the Northern Border; those who came and went in this Qilin Great City were almost all the many races of the Northern Border, and these past hundred thousand years had not been too difficult.

And the patriarch of this generation of the Qilin Clan was named Ye Ming, whose true form was an Ink Qilin, and he was the strongest in the Qilin Clan at this time.

Even in this End of Dharma era, Ye Ming's strength had reached the point where he could look toward the Quasi-Supreme Realm.

With such strength, plus the fact that the Qilin Clan was a united group, it was naturally not difficult to sit firmly in the Northern Border.

But at this moment, looking at Ye Ming's tightly furrowed brows, one knew that his recent days were clearly not easy.

"Has that person not left yet?"

Ye Ming looked at the many Qilin of his clan manifesting their true forms in the Qilin Great Hall, then thought of the man in white who had come to their door not long ago, the sorrow between his brows growing even thicker.

"Not only has he not left, but recently, that person has almost treated the Qilin Great City as his own home!"

"And the cultivation art that person practices definitely has problems."

"Clearly, that person has only stayed in the Qilin Great City for less than a month, yet in the Qilin Great City that our Qilin Clan has built for over a hundred thousand years, the vitality alone has dried up by more than half!"

"If we have no way to stop that person, I fear that in three to five years, the Qilin Great City will turn into that kind of dead, silent place like the Border Wilderness!"

"That person definitely came from outside the Border Wilderness, and perhaps the changes in the Border Wilderness of the Northern Border are also inseparable from him."

A Qilin of the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Realm spoke with hatred.

A month ago, a guest in white came directly to the Qilin Great City, and even Ye Ming, the strongest of the current Qilin Clan, was not a match for that guest in white for even a few rounds.

If that were all, it would be fine, but later, several more Qilin Clan Heaven and Earth Enlightenment powerhouses came to confront that guest in white.

But that guest in white only used less than half a day to capture nearly half of the Qilin Clan's powerhouses, and as time passed, even more Qilin Clan powerhouses were captured by that guest in white.

Finally, that guest in white drove all the powerhouses of the Qilin Clan into the Qilin Ancestral Hall and openly occupied the Qilin Great City that the Qilin Clan had managed for over a hundred thousand years.

The strange thing was that the guest in white did not seem to have any intention of exterminating the Qilin Clan; he just trapped the Qilin Clan within the Qilin Ancestral Hall and then ignored them.

Only the current Qilin patriarch, Ye Ming, knew that it was not that the guest in white was ignoring the Qilin Clan, but that the guest in white was waiting for him to give a reply on behalf of the entire Qilin Clan.

That guest in white made it clear: Heaven and Earth will eventually collapse, and only the Great Wilderness is the final destination for the Qilin Clan.

As long as the Qilin Clan is willing to surrender to the Great Wilderness, the Great Wilderness will divide a territory no less than the current Qilin Clan territory to give to the Qilin Clan, allowing the Qilin Clan to multiply and thrive, and in the future, the Qilin Clan might even be able to recast the glory of their ancestors!
