Dragon-Marked War God

The Mysterious Formation

During their conversation, Jiang Chen discovered that Zuo Ling Er knew a lot about the catastrophe in the past. He told her everything about Big Yellow.

“It seems the barbarians haven’t forgotten about the war against the Immortal World and I didn’t expect that even an Immortal Venerable would know about this. Which means the barbarians have been told of this history and instilled the thought of invading Immortal World when they were still young. This is what makes them so terrifying.”

Yang Junlong shook his head and sighed. Comparatively, Immortal World was really unwise and seemed to lack the sense of crisis by keeping the history a secret. The people in the Immortal World would be at a loss for what to do if they were struck by the enemy.

Fortunately, there was the existence of Sovereign Domain, otherwise, all of them would be truly doomed.

“I never thought that Big Yellow had such an extraordinary origin. Those who fell during the final war in Desolate Ancient Land had to be extraordinary figures. Perhaps, Big Yellow was once a peerless Demon Sovereign, but given the situation, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find him.”

Zuo Ling Er was astonished by Big Yellow’s identity. Although she wasn’t the reincarnation of any Great Sovereign, she possessed the pure bloodline of the Barbarian God, which then made her the most important existence in the Barbarian World.

“Yes indeed. The presence of these barbarian geniuses is not favorable in our search for Big Yellow.” Jiang Chen frowned.

“This time, many families in the Barbarian World have taken part in this expedition. All geniuses who are below the Barbarian Sovereign realm have joined, including some half-step Sovereigns,” Zuo Ling Er added.

“How long will this expedition last?” asked Jiang Chen.

“It’ll take a month. The expedition has started ten days ago,” answered Zuo Ling Er.

“There are twenty days left. No, time is of the essence. We can’t afford to wait.”

Jiang Chen shook his head and spoke. He had to return to help Nangong Wentian twenty days later.

He was a person who didn’t like to hand matters over to fate, especially when it came to Big Yellow. He had to ensure that he could find Big Yellow and get him out of here. If he missed this chance, he would have to wait for a very long time before he could come here again. Besides, the presence of these geniuses might have an impact on Big Yellow.

Subsequently, the three of them constantly flew to different places in the Desolate Ancient Land under the lead of Zuo Ling Er. The fact that she was so familiar with this place indicated that this wasn’t her first time coming here. More importantly, with the saintness of Wuke Family by their side, they didn’t have to worry about the barbarian geniuses. Any barbarian genius they encountered was killed by her and was then absorbed by Jiang Chen’s Ancestral Dragon Pagoda.

Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye, but they still hadn’t found any trace and qi of Big Yellow. By this time, they began to worry.

However, Jiang Chen wasn’t entirely gainless within these ten days. The absorption of the blood and qi essence of the barbarian geniuses had brought a certain impact on him – the fifty-eighth level of his pagoda had been fully condensed, and at the same time, 10 000 new dragon marks had been produced in his Qi Sea, pushing the total dragon marks to 1 490 000, that meant only ten thousand more to reach 1 500 000. By now, his cultivation base has already reached the peak of half-step Immortal Venerable realm, and was only a step away from the true Immortal Venerable realm.

“Little Chen, your qi has gotten stronger again,” commented Dragon Shisan.

“Yes, the barbarian geniuses are simply a first-rate nourishment for me. I don’t think there’s a problem at all for my cultivation base to advance to the Immortal Venerable realm, but we haven’t found any trace of Big Yellow up until now. This is making me worried,” said Jiang Chen with a frown.

Cultivation advancement was indeed a great thing and through the absorption, he had understood the essence and nature of the barbarians, which gave him tremendous confidence in confronting them in the future. But compared to this, he wanted even more to find Big Yellow and leave.

*Swoosh…* *Swoosh…* *Swoosh…*

At this moment, numerous silhouettes of barbarians flew past them over the sky. All of them were heading towards the same direction. One could tell that something huge was going to happen.

“The barbarian geniuses must have discovered something,” Yang Junlong said.

“Let me ask them.”

Zuo Ling Er flew skywards and stopped one of the geniuses. “What’s going on?”

“Saintess, someone has found a mysterious formation. There may be treasures left by the humans in there. We’re all heading that way to find out.”

The man happened to be a member of Wuke Family, said respectfully. After all, Zuo Ling Er was the well-respected saintess of their family.

“Alright. You can go first.” Finished speaking, Zuo Ling Er turned and returned to Jiang Chen.

“Big Brother, they have found a mysterious formation that may have been left by some expert of the Immortal World,” reported Zuo Ling Er.

“Mysterious formation? This may have something to do with Big Yellow. Let’s go and have a look.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes immediately let out a sparkle. Big Yellow was a formation master, and currently, the barbarian geniuses had found a mysterious formation that might belong to an expert of the Immortal World judging from its qi. Thus, Jiang Chen felt that this might be related to Big Yellow.

They found no trace of Big Yellow despite having searched for him for ten days. Regardless of whether this formation was left behind by Big Yellow or not, its emergence let them see a glimmer of hope.

The three of them concealed their qi and followed Zuo Ling Er’s lead. In this way, it would less likely raise the suspicion of the barbarian geniuses.

Currently, thousands of people had gathered on a barren land. And there were still numerous people heading this way. It seemed the emergence of the formation had aroused the attention of the barbarians. This was of course, understandable. After all, to them, there was nothing more attractive than the things left behind by the expert of the Immortal World. As the saying goes, know thy enemy, and know thy yourself, and in every battle, you will be victorious. They would gain more understanding of the Immortal World if they could acquire the things left behind by a mighty expert from the Immortal World.

When Jiang Chen and his friends arrived at the destination, they saw some of the barbarians were launching attacks at the void ahead. A ripple was sent out by the void every time it was hit by the attack. Indistinctly, they could see faint light radiating from the hidden formation.
