Chapter 1479: Luck Divine Authority

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Wanggu was divided into east, west, north, and south during the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether’s era as well, the geographical boundaries weren’t clearly defined. Mystic Nether also deliberately blurred these borders.

It was only when Mystic Abyss left Wanggu and the fragmented-face descended that everything changed.

Calamities enveloped Wanggu. The myriad races continued to experience death and war. Some races disappeared forever, and some races rebelled and ultimately evolved into the Five Great Races.

Among them, Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race was in the east, the Northern Fate Royal Family in the north, the Empyrean Crimson Land Race in the west, the Underworld Origin Corpse Race in the south, and the number one race in the center.

These five large races stood at the peak of the present Wanggu.

Also, because Human Emperor Parting Summer became a god, ascending to the Divine Platform in one go and leading the rise of the human race, forming an alliance with Flame Moon, the five great races became six. This made the strength of the Eastern Wanggu to surpass that of the west, south, and north and catch up to the number one race in an instant.

One could see how powerful they were through the current war situation.

No holy lands descended in the central region.

In the east, the battlefield was controlled outside the array formation.

As for the north, south, and west, the flames of war permeated the air, and countless people died or were injured on both sides…

This was especially so for the north. In this half a year, they had fought frequently with the four black-level holy lands that had descended there.

No matter how strong the Northern Fate Royal Family was, they were gradually beginning to feel strained.

As far as the eye could see, the entire northern icy plains were no longer as white as before. Many areas… had already been dyed red with blood.

Xu Qing and Erniu entered the Northern Wanggu at such a time.

Sensing the cold wind in the north, looking at the endless glaciers and smelling the blood from death in the world, even Erniu became quieter.

The whistling of the cold wind was more like a whimper, transmitting the thought of life withering.

The icy plain under their feet was mixed with blood. They could even see many corpses that had frozen into ice sculptures.

These corpses maintained their postures before they died.

“Compared to the east, this place… is too tragic.”

Xu Qing looked into the distance and mumbled.

“So, it’s best not to go too deep.”

“How about just choosing this place? Anyway, the environment we need is under the icy plain.”

Erniu’s gaze landed on a corpse not far away and he sighed.

Xu Qing nodded. He retracted his gaze from the distant sky and looked at the ice under his feet. He raised his right foot and was about to step down, wanting to shatter the ground.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

The whistling of the wind sent over sounds that didn’t belong to the wind, forming an image in Xu Qing’s mind.

Someone was being chased in the distance.

The person being chased was a middle-aged cultivator. His skin was slightly blue, clearly not a human. His cultivation was at the first level of Nihility.

He wore luxurious clothes and a purple-gold crown. One look and one could tell that he had an extraordinary status.

His robe was embroidered with dark patterns of snowflakes. As he moved forward, these snowflakes formed an illusion that surrounded his body, attracting cold air in all directions to form a storm that enhanced his speed.

As for the two pursuers, their cultivation levels were also at the first level of Nihility. They wore silver robes and had scales on their foreheads, tails on their backs, and horns on their heads.

Their bodies contained the aura of the starry sky.

This aura revealed the identities of these two nonhumans. They weren’t cultivators from the Wanggu but from beyond heaven, from the holy lands.

At that moment, their eyes were filled with killing intent as they gave chase, even performing a series of hand seals. One spell after another shone brightly, heading straight for the middle-aged cultivator.

Although he was chased and hit, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, the middle-aged cultivator’s expression was normal. He didn’t panic at all and was very calm.

Relying on his speed, he kept trying to distance himself.

Even though the effect was very little and the two sides were getting closer and closer, and there were more and more spells, causing him to be bombarded many times and vomit a large amount of blood, his expression still didn’t show the slightest panic.

It was as though he didn’t care about his injuries at all. He didn’t seem to mind that he would die if he was caught.

Xu Qing sensed this strange scene with his perception. Not long later, Erniu also sensed it.

“This person’s clothes are from the Northern Fate Royal Family. Interesting. Does he know that we’re here? Or does this person have other methods? Otherwise, why would he be so calm?”

Erniu was curious.

Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the three people.

These three people quickly arrived at the horizon. However, with their cultivation levels, they naturally couldn’t sense Xu Qing and Erniu, who were in their concealed state.

However, it was unknown if it was a coincidence or not, but the instant they got close to Xu Qing and Erniu, the two pursuers from the holy land unleashed their trump cards. Amidst the rumbling of spells, the Northern Fate Royal Family cultivator who was being chased couldn’t dodge in time and his body trembled as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

As his figure staggered, his path was blocked and he had no choice but to head straight for the ground.

As the two holy land cultivators approached with killing intent, the three of them actually started fighting a thousand feet away from Xu Qing and Erniu.

Booming sounds echoed out as the light of spells erupted.

This strange scene caused Xu Qing and Erniu to frown.

“Isn’t this too much of a coincidence? They actually started fighting in front of us.”

Erniu narrowed his eyes.

However, looking at the attacks of these three people, it was indeed as though they were trying to kill the other party. Moreover, from their expressions, it was obvious that they really didn’t sense anyone in the vicinity.

Hence, Erniu intended to continue watching from the sidelines and see if there would really be a casualty.

After all, the appearance of these three people was filled with coincidences, and to a certain extent, coincidences meant the presence of bizarre.

However, after Xu Qing observed carefully, a dark glint flashed in his eyes. He suddenly waved his right hand.

With this wave, the sounds emitted by the three cultivators who were fighting seemed to be cut off and instantly disappeared. After that, the sounds formed an invisible killing intent that instantly erupted.

It formed a sonic explosion. The expressions of the two cultivators from the holy lands changed and they had shocked expressions. It was too late for them to dodge and they were instantly enveloped by the sonic explosion.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, the two people’s bodies collapsed and shattered into pieces. Their bodies and souls were destroyed.

Only blood splattered, dyeing the ground red.

As for the middle-aged cultivator from the Northern Fate Royal Family, he was also shocked by this sudden change. He instinctively retreated a little and quickly looked around.

He didn’t notice anything.

Xu Qing and Erniu’s concealment caused the surroundings to be empty.

A long time later, this cultivator from the Northern Fate Royal Family took a deep breath and bowed to the air.

“I’m Long Jiu, a disciple of the Northern Fate Royal Family. Thank you for saving my life, Senior.”

“Since benefactor isn’t willing to appear, 1 won’t force you. However, I will remember this kindness in my heart.”

“In the future, if benefactor comes to my royal family, you can look for me with this token. If you have any orders, Long Jiu will definitely do his best.”

The middle-aged cultivator’s attitude was sincere but his expression was neither servile nor overbearing. As he spoke, he took out a shining silver-white token and placed it on the ground.

After that, he bowed again and waited for a while. After seeing no response from the surroundings, he took a deep breath and stood up, heading straight for the horizon.

A long time later, the token left behind by Long Jiu flew up and landed in Erniu’s hand.

“Interesting, this token is actually made of ice crystal, and of excellent quality at that. This Long Jiu… judging from his demeanor, he must hold some status within the Northern Fate Royal Family.”

“If we go to this race in the future, this person might really be of some use.”

“However, everything that happened earlier was still too coincidental. Little Qing, why did you attack just now?”

Erniu played with the token in his hand and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked in the direction Long Jiu had left in and slowly spoke.

“This person is indeed not simple. There’s… a trace of the fluctuations of divine authority on his body.”

“Divine authority?”

Erniu’s gaze froze.

“It should be an extremely rare divine authority… It’s in a state where it’s about to bloom and will take some time to fully surface. After we deal with Feng Lintao’s matter, I plan to explore it.”

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand and the Sundial rose into the air. After that, he stomped on the ground.

Immediately, the icy plain silently shattered and a large area collapsed. Xu Qing jumped down.

Erniu blinked and also walked into the hole on the ground.

The two figures disappeared.

Under the icy plain, in the ice river, they continued to move down.

The environment they needed had to be extremely cold without the slightest bit of heat. Only then would they meet the requirements of the inheritance hidden in Feng Lintao’s soul.

Therefore, they had to head to the bottom of the ice river!

As for the Sundial outside, it started moving in reverse at this moment and the power of time spread out. Immediately, everything on the shattered ground returned to normal.

The Sundial blurred and disappeared.

Just like that, seven days slowly passed.

On the northern icy plains, about ten thousand kilometers away from the place where Xu Qing and Erniu had disappeared, there was a huge glacier.

Compared to other places, there were slightly fewer anomalous substances here, so it was originally a gathering place for many small sects. However, with the onset of war, some were conscripted, others relocated. Now, only the Ice River Sect remains.

This sect was very small and had less than a hundred disciples. Their lives were usually filled with sufferings and the appearance of war made them suffer even more.

At that moment, a figure rushed over from the horizon and flew into the sect’s main hall, revealing his figure.

It was Long Jiu, whom Xu Qing had saved.

Right now, the calmness on his face was replaced by pride. After he sat down in the main hall, a disciple walked in and bowed to him with a worried expression.

“Greetings, Master.”

This was Long Jiu’s eldest disciple.

Noticing the worry on the eldest disciple’s face, Long Jiu raised his brows.

“What happened?”

“Master… another eleven sect disciples chose to leave today. Now, there are only thirty-seven people left in the entire sect. Moreover, the cultivation resources are severely lacking. If this continues…”

When Long Jiu heard this, he smiled.

“It’s fine. Everyone has their own aspirations. I’m also about to succeed.”

When the eldest disciple heard this, he sighed. He knew that his master was already obsessed and it was difficult to persuade him, so he asked.

“Master, how was your harvest on this trip?”

Long Jiu laughed.

“When I go out ten times, I’ll definitely encounter danger once and always encounter a benefactor!”

“This time, my luck exceeded the past. As 1 moved through the danger, I encountered three benefactors!”

Looking at his master’s smug expression, this eldest disciple thought of the bitter days in the sect and couldn’t help but persuade him again.

“Master, the spirit stones the disciples need for cultivation are finished. Why don’t… we sell one of the tokens? Just one…”

When Long Jiu heard this, he frowned.

“Short-sighted!”

“I’m relying on my luck to become famous!”

“You have to know that those benefactors who saved me are all important figures. They took my token and sensed that I was extraordinary. When they pass by the Northern Fate Royal Family in the future, they will definitely remember me and mention it to the experts in the race.”

“At the start, the lords in the race might not know who I am.”

“However, as many benefactors visit the race it the race and mention my name, those lords will naturally have a deep impression of me and will let more clansmen know who I am.”

“Besides, every benefactor is my connection. I have to repay them for saving my life. This is karma!”

“To make all the big shots become my benefactors, tell me, how can I not be famous? After I have such a reputation, I can have anything I want.”

With that, Long Jiu glanced at his eldest disciple. He thought that the other party had indeed suffered following him all these years, so he comforted him.

“Wait a little longer. 1 estimate that after I give out the remaining seven tokens, the timing will be about right. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Master will rest and recuperate before continuing to head out to find my benefactors.”

The eldest disciple fell silent and wanted to say something else. However, seeing his master like this, he could only obey.

But thinking about his master over these years, it was indeed extraordinary luck. There were many times when he was chased and faced life-threatening crises, yet each time, there were benefactors who stepped in to help.

The eldest disciple fell silent and wanted to say something else. However, seeing his master like this, he could only obey.

“I hope it works.”

The eldest disciple sighed..
