Chapter 254 - 250: The Nine Provinces and Eighteen Lands, Grand World of the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains! (Double - )
"Moreover, I cannot see my own destiny, nor can I see through Brother Song’s. So on this matter, Brother Song need not ask further." Li Jinyu seemed to guess what Song Changming wanted to inquire, and directly gave the answer first.
Upon hearing this, Song Changming simply nodded and swallowed the question he was about to ask.
The other party was unwilling to discuss this mysterious topic further, so he refrained from asking more.
"Brother Li, are you planning to journey with me to the Ancient Abyss Country?" Song Changming drank a cup of warm wine and changed the topic.
"Naturally." Li Jinyu nodded.
"But upon returning from the Outer Domain, I have learned some things. For me, traveling to the Ancient Abyss Country may still be far off." Song Changming sighed lightly as he spoke.
He explained the matter of the Bottomless Abyss that lay between the Ancient Abyss Country and Da Han Dynasty, and the situation at Dragon Gate Ridge.
"Without reaching the Innate realm, it’s difficult to cross the Abyss, and for me, achieving the Innate realm is much harder than for ordinary people..."
Li Jinyu pondered upon hearing this, "That is indeed a more troublesome issue. The challenge of reaching the Innate realm needs to be confronted in the Ancient Abyss Country, but without achieving it, reaching the Ancient Abyss Country is hard."
This seems like a deadlock.
"Exactly, regarding the journey to the Ancient Abyss Country, Brother Li, you should not pin all your hopes on me," Song Changming kindly reminded.
He had plenty of time to squander, ten years, twenty years, thirty years...
But for Li Jinyu, his time could not afford such idle waiting.
"No rush." Li Jinyu smiled slightly, "We’ll discuss it later, as long as Brother Song doesn’t forget to bring me along when the time comes."
Li Jinyu was very composed. After hearing what was said, he still had great confidence in Song Changming and only wished to follow his lead.
This left Song Changming without much else to say.
Li Jinyu was eating the plums on the table, sour and sweet, then suddenly glanced at Su Qingqing practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
"Miss Qing’Er has a remarkable destiny and will achieve great things in the future."
"I’m also curious about how she’ll turn out," Song Changming nodded in agreement, not surprised by what Li Jinyu said.
Su Qingqing’s background, along with her unique pupil technique, appeared endlessly mysterious.
Couple that with her rapid progress in Martial Arts cultivation, it’s evident she will achieve great things in the future.
Three days later, Liu Dingsheng awoke from a deep slumber, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit seemed much better than usual.
In terms of complexion, he seemed ten years younger, proving the effectiveness of the Elixir indeed.
It must be said, regarding alchemy skills, Zhuji Pavilion indeed reigns supreme in Jianghu, earning genuine trust.
Unfortunately, the Longevity Pill in Li Jinyu’s hand was the only one, gifted to Liu Dingsheng as a greeting; there were no more.
Such miraculous elixirs, the success rate of Zhuji Pavilion refining a single furnace is not high, making them almost impossible to purchase, even with money, considered one of the rare gems.
...
As life around Song Changming returned to daily routines.
In the Outer Realm, after the departure of the Innate powerhouses from the Ancient Abyss Country, numerous Outer Domain warriors, evil cult members, as expected turned their gaze again towards Da Han.
The departure of Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang ultimately presented them with an opportunity to stir the storm, becoming restless.
And on the other side of the Bottomless Abyss.
Dozens of figures flew swiftly through the sky, speeding through the fog in mid-air.
This group was precisely the ten Innate powerhouses who came to Dragon Gate Ridge for recruitment, along with others who were selected.
The ten Innate powerhouses not only crossed the void themselves but also took others along with them.
Such flight capability alone is something a typical Qi Refining Martial Artist could never achieve.
"Finally about to leave this damn place," Gao Xin couldn’t help but mutter.
Behind him were seven or eight people.
He carried eight, yet his flight speed in mid-air did not diminish in the slightest.
In contrast, Ding Shengyu was only carrying Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang, appearing more relaxed, flying at the forefront of the team.
As Gao Xin’s voice fell, Su Yaoguang suddenly saw the fog in front of her dissipate, and the view became wide open.
Beneath the clear sky, below laid the endless Red Earth Continent.
Dark red soil and sand formed successive monumental valleys, basins, high slopes, some peculiar rock formations, and twisted landscapes.
"This is the Ancient Abyss Country!" Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang, along with other Outer Domain warriors, were all invigorated.
The ancient land of cultivation that they’ve dreamed of, their dream destination.
Now finally appeared before their eyes.
Although this Red Earth Continent looked ordinary, barren, devoid of human presence.
Yet, as powerful martial artists, they sensed the vast environmental difference here.
Not to mention the Spirit Mountain Treasure Lands, Dongtian Blessed Lands, just the scattered chaotic Natural Qi in the air was far superior to that in the Outer Domain and Da Han.
They took deep breaths in mid-air, feeling every pore of their body delight.
The Qi Vortex within accelerated, and some instantly exhibited signs of breakthrough!
The impact of the changed cultivation environment was greater than any of them anticipated.
It felt like a swimmer suddenly breaking the surface to land.
The restrictive force suppressing their cultivation realm vanished instantly with nothing left.
"Farewell, everyone!"
"Farewell!"
Exiting the Land of Great Fog, the ten Innate powerhouses stood in mid-air, each saying their goodbyes.
Although their forces were distributed close to this region near the Red Earth Continent, they remain far apart with little intersection.
Now with each completing their task, they quickly departed, wasting no time outside.
