Volume 1, Chapter 58: He Has Admired Me for a Long Time

The lord’s mansion covered a vast area, and beyond the courtyard where Zhao Yan stood lay an expansive garden, filled with pavilions, terraces, hills, and streams. From a distance, it resembled a secluded paradise, most notably suffused with a rich spiritual aura.

The overwhelming energy ripple forced the three leaders of Wuyou Valley to involuntarily take a step back. The golden divine light detected the disturbance as well, nearly turning back from the far western lands.

An Jin’s surprise was genuine, not feigned. Had she known earlier about her abduction, she would have come prepared today, making it unnecessary to put on a show in front of Yu Hao. Could it be that her assumptions were wrong, and Yu Feng had not recognized that Qian Pan’s corpse was a fake, nor suspected her presence in Xiliang?

Morton’s ethereal weapon was a white silk ribbon, a third-grade virtual weapon that slithered through the air like a cunning, fierce serpent, exceptionally deadly and sharp.

“Hmm, that’s fortunate. In the future, people like that can be ignored; just use family connections directly,” Lu Yuanqiao couldn’t help but remind.

It should be known that the ancient beast Nuo coexisted with the Gu Eagle, possibly even predating the Flame Emperor Shennong.

That extremely perilous aura was like a razor-sharp sword, yet also a terrifying force that devoured everything, instantly enveloping his body and sacred heart.

“Uncle Ma, do you think this corpse can be handled?” Han Sanjiu asked with a hint of fear. They were genuinely worried—the king’s corpse exuded an extraordinary presence, overwhelming everyone upon appearance.

“This ‘Dragon-Seeking Ruler’ is a one-time consumable item, modeled after the ‘Spirit-Seeking Plate.’ It’s not surprising that it’s used for navigation. Unfortunately, the forging method for the ‘Spirit-Seeking Plate’ has long been lost in our sect; otherwise, our junior apprentice Xia wouldn’t have risked venturing to the frigid lands to forge this Dragon-Seeking Ruler!” Kuntu shook his head.

Once the ultimate formation was successfully activated, everyone felt the power of their physical bodies returning. Their spiritual energy surged, confidence renewed, and they would dare to face any opponent.

They barely had any systematic cultivation methods—just bits and pieces passed down from the Huaxia side.

In that place, already littered with corpses, atop the body of the Creator God, a new species was born—formed from the fusion of the corpses and bones of dark creatures and mechanical weapons.

Under the rule of the princes and marquises, every race was equal, so there was no bullying among them.

Thankfully, the situation had not deteriorated to its worst. Though these people were driven by desire, they had not lost their reason.

“Stay here for now. I must receive your intelligence immediately,” Zong Shilang said, pulling Yagi Rei, who planned to return with Mu Fengye and Yingjian. There were two beds here, but one was cluttered with unfamiliar items that needed to be tidied up properly.

“Anyway, arrange for those people to be relocated elsewhere. It will be difficult for us to fight if they remain here,” Yingjian said, aware that Mu Fengye had always cared for the innocent—they should not have to suffer this disaster.

“Whoosh, whoosh!” As Qiu Shier and the others exited the secret realm, several sharp sounds pierced the air from afar. They looked up to see streaks of light like meteors cutting across the night sky, passing over the nearby forest and flying off into the distance.

“Chihori!” Rai Denrei dashed toward Chihori’s landing spot, using her body to absorb the impact of her momentum. They both rolled to the ground, fortunately sustaining only minor injuries that posed no threat to their lives.

After finishing breakfast, Zhuang Zhongren did not return to his room immediately but followed behind Shui’er.

However, the current situation was utter chaos—a fierce battle. It was uncertain whether even powerful cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage could survive such danger. Those who had cultivated to the True Void realm possessed considerable experience and insight.
