Chapter 161: Zhao Qian and Wu Xiangyi

"This mountain is strange; once I enter, my cultivation base vanishes for no reason, and I am reduced to an ordinary person. It is truly too bizarre."

Lao Hei muttered, a look of doubt in his eyes.

This was the first time he had encountered such a place.

Only now did he truly regard this world seriously.

Is this world really as simple as he imagined?

Is this so-called Spirit really just a low-level Immortal Cultivator?

Lao Hei could not help but recall the illusion he had that day at the Feng Clan; he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

Beside him, Ling Jin was slightly stunned.

This was the first time he had heard a tone of wariness from Lao Hei.

He knew Lao Hei was very strong.

In his own world, Lao Hei belonged to the ranks of the top powerhouses.

Yet now, seeing Heilong Peak, he also felt wariness in his heart.

Could it be that the Spirit the Feng Clan wishes to serve is truly a great figure?

Suddenly, Chen Longxuan's nose twitched: "Do you all smell a special fragrance?"

The others began to sniff.

"What kind of fragrance is this? Why is it so strong?"

Naturally, they also discovered this anomaly.

If it were an ordinary fragrance, they would naturally not be surprised.

But this fragrance was too rich, and it was permeating everywhere.

"Look, there is a fruit over there that is glowing!" Ling Jin had sharp eyes.

At a glance, he saw a bright red fruit, and there seemed to be a layer of halo upon it.

The fruit was not large; logically, one should not be able to see it clearly from such a distance.

However, it had a layer of halo on it, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

The others also saw that fruit at this moment.

Li Xiang was shocked internally: "What kind of fruit is this?"

She vaguely felt that the development of the situation had exceeded her expectations.

That fruit was clearly not an ordinary fruit.

"Spirit fruit, this must be a spirit fruit!" Chen Longxuan's gaze was excited; he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly over to pluck the fruit.

Li Xiang looked at her grandmother, feeling for the first time that her understanding had gone wrong.

Could it be that the Supernatural truly exists in this world?

Does the Feng Clan really serve a great existence?

The few of them looked at the fruit, then at the animals covering the mountains and plains, and did not move forward again.

Xia Junji walked toward the old woman; he seemed to believe in that so-called Spirit: "Old Madam, can we go and take the Spirit's blessing?"

Of course, Xia Junji was just asking.

The wild beasts on the mountain did not look like they were vegetarians either.

And the forces of his Military had not yet arrived so quickly.

The old woman glanced at Xia Junji: "You may."

Xia Junji suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Just then, however, someone suddenly roared.

"These wild beasts are rioting!"

"What is going on!"

"Be careful!"

"Could it be that the fruit has ripened?"

Everyone looked over and saw that the halo on the fruit at the peak of the high mountain had become even heavier.

Among it, the fragrance was also permeating even more.

All the animals began to stir at this moment.

Birds, rabbits, wild boars, foxes, snakes, and so on, all scrambled to rush toward the fruit.

Everyone watched this scene, shocked internally: "These wild beasts were waiting for the spirit fruit to ripen!"

Countless animals were rushing madly toward the spirit fruit at this moment.

It seemed as if that spirit fruit were a supreme treasure.

However, even while snatching the spirit fruit, these animals displayed an extremely peculiar side; while they scrambled, they also followed order and did not fight at all.

It was as if, in the dark, the eyes of a god were watching them.

They were following the Rule of the god's game to snatch the spirit fruit.

"Holy crap, the big snake is flying!"

Chen Longxuan's mouth hung open.

"I told you I saw that big snake transform into a flood dragon!"

Just then, on Heilong Peak, that big snake suddenly soared into the air.

The big snake, which had no wings, was twisting in the air.

This appearance was extremely terrifying and shocking.

Especially Li Xiang; she sat on the ground in a daze, looking at Xia Junji with a look of suspicion in her eyes.

The appearance of Xia Junji was particularly astonishing.

Moreover, along the way, Xia Junji seemed very interested in the spiritual.

Li Xiang could not help but recall the rumors on the internet from a while ago, as well as the strange occurrences in the Heishui Mountain Range.

Could it be that Heize was not a movie, and the spiritual truly existed?

"That big snake is likely going to snatch the spiritual fruit!" Chen Longxuan shouted.

That big snake had the advantage in size, and most importantly, it could fly; the other beasts still looked like ordinary beasts, but the big snake was different.

That big snake soared into the air and charged directly toward that tree.

Just at this moment, that fruit suddenly fell.

Spiritual Qi permeated the air, and the fragrance overflowed.

The big snake opened its giant mouth, and the spiritual fruit instantly entered the big snake's belly.

At this moment, the body of this big snake actually emitted a black light.

The scales on its body suddenly became sturdy at this moment.

At its forehead, it seemed as if something was about to protrude.

A terrifying aura emanated from the big snake; the big snake took a deep look at the crowd in the distance, burrowed into the deep mountains, and disappeared.

The crowd present saw this scene, their hearts shocked and delighted.

"The supernatural really exists!" A look of excitement appeared on Chen Longxuan's face.

The others were mostly the same.

The old woman was even more devout; she knelt on the ground: "Spiritual..."

Xia Junji's gaze, however, fell upon the tree that bore the spiritual fruit.

At this time, the sound of helicopters arrived, and many people appeared in the Heishui Mountain Range.

Three days later.

The Heishui Mountain Range had already become a restricted zone and was sealed off; ordinary people could not enter at all.

Many experts were also pulled from other places and arrived here.

Regarding the matter of the big snake and the spiritual fruit on Heilong Peak, in-depth research also began.

The current Heishui Mountain Range could be described as an impregnable fortress; ordinary people could not enter at all.

And at this time, Lin Chao's figure appeared on Heilong Peak.

Even though the Heishui Mountain Range had been surrounded by layers of military guards and there were many drones patrolling, not a single person discovered Lin Chao's figure.

"Seven days have passed; the Transcendence Fragment is finally about to finish brewing."

Lin Chao looked ahead, his gaze carrying a hint of anticipation.

"This is?"

He opened the restriction and immediately saw a drop of blood.

This drop of blood radiated powerful Spiritual Qi.

It gave Lin Chao a feeling somewhat like that drop of Dragon Blood from Zimo back then.

Of course, it was far inferior to that drop of Dragon Blood and could not be used to treat the problem of missing Spirituality.

"This is... Myriad Demon Blood."

For some reason, the answer instantly appeared in Lin Chao's heart.

He looked at this drop of blood, and he thought of the beasts that had covered the mountains and plains before, and a different idea sprouted in his heart.

"The demons of the world... where did they go?"

Wu Kingdom.

Above the clouds.

Several rays of light flickered, and Zhao Ran landed, cold as frost.

At this moment, she was knitting her brows, her eyes carrying deep worry.

"How is it?" A hint of worry also appeared on Wu Xiangyi's face.

"The Alien Demons are getting stronger," Zhao Ran sighed softly, "With our cultivation, it is very difficult to eradicate them."

The Alien Demons were very powerful, or rather, very difficult to deal with.

The Alien Demons carried a kind of corruption, which seemed capable of controlling a person's mind.

This was the most troublesome part.

With their cultivation, it was also very difficult to resist the corruption of the Alien Demons.

"The Wu Kingdom left behind by our husband cannot be defeated in our hands," Wu Xiangyi's expression was resolute.

The current Wu Kingdom had a prosperous national destiny and had even taken over several planes.

However, the threat regarding the Alien Demons had also begun to gradually reveal itself.

The Martial Emperor, who was their husband, had left them quite a bit of information about the Alien Demons before he passed away.

Regarding the Alien Demons, Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi hated them to the extreme.

After all, their husband's fall also had everything to do with the Alien Demons.

"For these thousand years, I have been cultivating continuously, and I am a bit tired," a rare look of fatigue appeared on Zhao Ran's cold face, "I originally thought the Great Heavenly Venerable was very strong, but the Great Heavenly Venerable is only the starting point of cultivation."

The purpose of Zhao Ran's cultivation was for her husband, Qi Lin.

Qi Lin had traded his life for hers, giving her life.

Zhao Ran then worked hard at cultivation, hoping to reach a profound level and resurrect her husband.

However, the more she cultivated, the more she felt that it was too far away.

Moreover, they seemed to have reached their limits as well.

Beside her, a complex look also appeared in the eyes of Wu Xiangyi.

A thousand years of time had left no traces on her body.

However, she also looked more majestic, unlike before, when she always maintained the demeanor of a young woman.

"Sister Zhao Ran, if husband were still here, how good that would be." Wu Xiangyi's eyes were filled with a dazed look.

The current her was far stronger than her husband had been back then.

But, Wu Xiangyi understood that even if it were her husband from back then, he would have handled the Alien Demons much better than they were doing.

The Alien Demons were wreaking havoc in the Wu Kingdom, slowly devouring it, and they found it difficult to resist.

Within the Wu Kingdom, dissent had also arisen.

Quite a few Great Heavenly Venerables proposed leaving the Wu Kingdom and heading to other planes.

However, to Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi, the Wu Kingdom was their home, and it was also Qi Lin's home.

They were afraid that the traces related to Qi Lin would disappear completely.

They were afraid that if one day Qi Lin

suddenly woke up, he would not be able to find his home.

"Just now, I went to investigate.

The number of Alien Demons has decreased by one; I fear there is something suspicious about this." Zhao Ran's expression was cold, like the frost of December.

"It actually decreased by one?" Wu Xiangyi also furrowed her brows, "The Tulu Ancient Book shows no abnormalities; could this Alien Demon not have entered the Wu Kingdom? Where did it go then?"

Ten years ago, the Wu Kingdom unearthed the Tulu Ancient Book, a book that recorded all the history of this world.

The recorded content was identical to the development of history.

Except for the Wu Kingdom, it recorded that Su Yunqiong unified the six directions, Alien Demons descended from the heavens, and the world perished.

However, the one who ultimately unified the six directions was the Wu Kingdom.

Besides recording history, the Tulu Ancient Book had another unique feature.

Whenever an Alien Demon approached, this ancient book would react.

This was also how Zhao Ran and the others dealt with the anomalies of the Alien Demons.

Now, the Tulu Ancient Book had not reacted, which meant that the missing Alien Demon was very likely not in the Wu Kingdom.

"I wonder if it has anything to do with Old Ancestor Black Wind; Old Ancestor Black Wind has also been missing for a period of time." Zhao Ran locked her brows, her gaze filled with deep worry.

"I hope not." Wu Xiangyi sighed softly.

Old Ancestor Black Wind was also one of the few Great Heavenly Venerable powerhouses in the Wu Kingdom, and this Great Heavenly Venerable was part of the War Faction, hoping to wage war against the Alien Demons.

This was someone who stood in the same camp as Zhao Ran and Wu Xiangyi.

At this moment, thinking of something, Wu Xiangyi suddenly said: "Sister Zhao Ran, do you think... is it possible that husband is still alive?"

Zhao Ran's hand trembled, as if she had fallen into memories.

Wu Xiangyi's gaze was complex: "In the Tulu Ancient Book, there is no mention of the Wu Kingdom, nor of husband.

And I, the Princess of the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom, should have died for my country a thousand years ago.

It was husband who changed us; it was husband who gave us a new life.

Husband... he is definitely not an ordinary person."

Zhao Ran did not speak.

Naturally, she had also thought this way.

However, she knew that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

That kind of emotion, which had been suppressed with such difficulty, would collapse once it found an outlet.

She did not want to experience that kind of pain again.

A miserable smile appeared on Wu Xiangyi's face: "Do you still remember when we asked husband together: if he were willing to trade his life for ours, and husband said, he was willing."

A feeling of sadness inexplicably arose in Zhao Ran as well.

"I didn't want him to say he was willing."

Their lives were not worth husband trading his own for.

They had long been prepared to sacrifice themselves to fulfill husband.

Yet the reality was that husband traded his life for theirs.

Wu Xiangyi's smile was sorrowfully beautiful: "Husband said at the time that he had many lives."

Wu Xiangyi raised her voice, appearing somewhat agitated.

"Sister Zhao Ran, husband would never lie to us!

Husband said he had many lives; could this possibly be true?

Is it possible that husband is still alive!

He is not dead!"

As noble as she was, as powerful as a Great Heavenly Venerable, two trails of tears appeared on Wu Xiangyi's beautiful face.

Wu Xiangyi cried, her face wet with tears like pear blossoms in the rain.

After a while, she calmed down, though a sense of sorrow still lingered about her.

Zhao Ran stood up, her silhouette slender and standing aloof from the world; she reaffirmed her resolve.

"I will definitely resurrect husband!"

Lin Chao in the rental room naturally did not know that in another world, two women were constantly trying to resurrect him.

He also naturally did not know that once, there was a woman who, while shedding tears, said she would remember him forever.

He naturally did not know that, above the South Sea, there was a woman who had transformed into a bird, swearing to find him.

Thanks to 【MOnHT】 for the tip, thank you!
