Chapter 0416: The Desolate Region

Xiao Yuemei wouldn’t stay in one place for too long, otherwise she would feel very bored.

"You're such a clever and quirky girl, so I'm not too worried about you! But you still need to be careful and not get caught off guard!" Qin Yun pinched Xiao Yuemei's pretty and cute nose.

Xiao Yuemei giggled, "I understand!"

Qin Yun said, "In three days, we'll set off for the Demon Path. I'll take this Soul Ascension Elixir first, it's still very useful for the Thunder Fire Martial Soul!"

He couldn’t cultivate the black martial soul right now, so he could only focus on the Thunder Fire Martial Soul first.

...

Three days later, Qin Yun had already refined the Soul Ascension Elixir, and the Thunder Fire Martial Soul had also strengthened significantly.

He walked out of the room and saw Xiao Yuemei and Wei Zhongzheng chatting and laughing in the hall.

"Elder, how is Hong Lan doing?" Qin Yun quickly asked.

Wei Zhongzheng chuckled, "She's doing well; several elders regularly help her suppress the toxins! Both Hong Lan and Yanying possess rare red martial souls, they get along very well, and both are very interested in growing medicinal herbs."

"Xiao Yun, you did really well! When dealing with the Totem Pavilion, you need to be decisive and ruthless!"

Qin Yun nodded, then asked, "Elder, since I have a black martial soul, does that mean my black dao pill hasn’t formed the third life mark, and the Thunder Fire Dao Pill can’t be cultivated either?"

"Yes! Don’t worry for now; I'll take some time to travel and find ways to help you break through!" Wei Zhongzheng said.

Xiao Yuemei sweetly smiled, "Brother, I'll also search everywhere for methods!"

"Thanks, Yuemei!" Qin Yun gently stroked her cute face and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Grandpa Wei gave me the little snake! I'll bid you farewell and then leave!" Xiao Yuemei giggled, "Brother, I'm heading out! Take care!"

"Alright, take care too!" Qin Yun smiled.

"La la la..." Xiao Yuemei hummed a cheerful tune, skipping out of the suite.

Qin Yun took out a Soul Sealing Pearl and handed it to Wei Zhongzheng, "Elder, this is Hong Lan's martial soul! I extracted it from Xu Yuke's body."

Wei Zhongzheng took it and said, "I'll give it to Hong Lan. If she ends up with two Hong Lan martial souls, I wonder what will happen!"

"Let's go, we'll gather and set off for the Demon Path!"

Qin Yun was also looking forward to this trip and quickly went back to his room to change clothes.

He changed into the Nine Extremes Profound Sect's attire, a simple white outfit engraved with patterns similar to the nine pillars.

Wei Zhongzheng was dressed in the same outfit.

The two of them walked out of the tall tower and entered a large hall below.

As soon as they entered the hall, the place fell silent!

Although Wei Zhongzheng had just entered the Martial King realm, his strength was formidable. Even the older generation Martial Kings were wary of him.

Moreover, Wei Zhongzheng had deeply mastered the Nine Extremes Heart Sutra, and his Nine Extremes power was fearsome.

Mu Fengxiao said, "Everyone is here, let's set off now!"

Only about a hundred people are traveling together.

Most of them are from the other three regions.

Martial King Hong Ying is also bringing Hong Mengshu along to broaden her horizons and gain experience, while Hong Yan is tagging along with Murong Daren to have some fun.

"Leader of the Nine Extremes Sect, that elder who held his own against the Heavenly Fire Martial Emperor in the palace last time, is he from the Nine Extremes Sect?" Martial King Hong Ying was very curious about this, as were the other Martial Kings.

Now that the Nine Extremes Sect dares to challenge three king-level sects and the Totem Pavilion, it must be hiding even greater strength.

Wei Zhongzheng laughed heartily, "Of course he is from our Nine Extremes Sect. He is a senior who ventured out from our Nine Extremes Sect in the past. He is a master of strange patterns and also a Martial King realm expert!"

Jiang Dazhu's strength is indeed formidable, and his background is shrouded in mystery. In that intense battle back then, he did not even reveal his martial soul, which made it even more surprising.

Therefore, Wei Zhongzheng is now deliberately highlighting Jiang Dazhu's strength, which can make these forces wary of the Nine Extremes Sect.

"He is not with our Nine Extremes Sect now; he has ventured out again. But he said he would return every once in a while!" Wei Zhongzheng said.

Jiang Dazhu is a puppet originating from the Spirit Wasteland. If he cannot return to the Spirit Wasteland, he will have to stay in the Nine Extremes Sect in the end.

Martial King Hong Ying and the other Martial Kings were all visibly astonished.

A Martial King realm master of strange patterns is truly remarkable.

With such a figure in the Nine Extremes Sect, it is undoubtedly on par with a king-level sect.

"Congratulations, Leader of the Nine Extremes Sect. The Nine Extremes Sect should be able to change its name!" a Martial King from the Western State said with a smile.

Wei Zhongzheng shook his head and smiled, "Not yet! Wait until my alchemy skills reach the level of an alchemy master! Our Nine Extremes Sect cannot claim to be a king-level sect without an alchemy master; that would be laughable!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered that Wei Zhongzheng is indeed an alchemist!

"Let's move out! Without those Totem Pavilion guys around, it's much more pleasant!" Wei Zhongzheng said with a laugh.

Everyone left the Strange Pattern King City together, took out their respective flying treasures, and flew towards the Demon Path with a group of onlookers.

...

At night, Qin Yun sat outside the flying vessel, gazing at the stars in the sky, thinking about many things related to the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

The founding of the Blue Spirit Star Palace is linked to the Immortal Bone Burial Ground. The missing Lan Xiao Wu Wang surely knows many secrets.

"When I have time, I need to delve into the Star and Moon Strange Patterns I obtained from the Strange Pattern Sect!"

Qin Yun lay down, gazing at the bright moon, and thought of Xiao Yuelan and Yang Shiyue.

Wei Zhongzheng walked out of the cabin and asked with a smile, "Xiao Yun, what’s on your mind?"

"Nothing! Just curious about how powerful the warriors from the Demon Wasteland and the Monster Wasteland will be!" Qin Yun, interrupted in his thoughts, replied with a smile.

"If they are just ordinary, there's no need to worry! But if they possess ancient bloodline inheritances, then we need to be cautious!" Wei Zhongzheng said.

"I recall the Strange Pattern Hall mentioned that sixteen young powerhouses will be competing together!" Qin Yun frowned, "We from the Wuhuang have only four, while the Monster Wasteland and the Demon Wasteland have twelve?"

Wei Zhongzheng said, "The Monster Wasteland and the Demon Wasteland also have four! The other four should be young powerhouses from the three wasteland bloodline families!"

"The bloodline families seem very enigmatic and have not associated with the Hongwu Country or the king-level sects!" Qin Yun quickly sat up, very interested in this.

Because he has the heavenly lion bloodline in his body, he is very curious about the ancient bloodline families!

"You may not know, but these bloodline families are very powerful, ruling over a wilderness domain!" Wei Zhongzheng said. "A wilderness domain is a spatial rift, a kind of spatial cavern! It's a small space that suddenly appears within our vast wilderness, also known as an ancient hidden realm!"

"Ancient hidden realms appear by chance, but like the three desolates, they are illuminated by the Nine Suns. Because it's an independent small space, the Nine Suns' spiritual energy has been accumulating for years without flowing out, making the spiritual energy inside extremely dense, nurturing various rare flora, and containing abundant mineral deposits!"

"The Ancient Arboretum is a very large ancient hidden realm! It's a vast space within the cracks of the three desolates!"

Qin Yun sighed, "It seems the bloodline families are indeed very powerful! Master, have you been to the ancient hidden realms of those families?"

Wei Zhongzheng said, "I haven't been there, but those Martial Kings must have! The Martial Kings of Hongwu Country also control a lot of resources, some of which are not found in the ancient hidden realms, so they come out to trade."

"If there are any major events in those ancient hidden realms, they will also invite the Martial Kings of Hongwu Country to attend!"

"I heard that several Martial Kings of Hongwu Country have their children in the ancient hidden realms."

Qin Yun suddenly thought of the Burial Ground of Immortals, "Master, could the Burial Ground of Immortals be a hard-to-find ancient hidden realm?"

Wei Zhongzheng nodded, "This... it's very possible! Ancient hidden realms exist in every vast wilderness, but they are hard to discover, only by very rare chance can one find an ancient hidden realm."

"Only those powerful bloodline families, after discovering the entrance to an ancient hidden realm, have the strength to seize it. If we discover it, without enough power to protect it, it will only be occupied and swallowed by the bloodline families!"

"Some bloodline families occupy several ancient hidden realms!"

Qin Yun frowned, "They are really domineering!"

Wei Zhongzheng shook his head and smiled, "An ancient hidden realm that has never been developed means it's a treasure vault, and as long as you can take it, you can obtain a lot of resources! People are greedy, so they seize what they can!"

Qin Yun also understood why Hongwu Country and the king-level sects have no ancient hidden realms, it's because they can't defeat the bloodline families.

The people of the bloodline families don't walk much in Wuhuang, that's because they have vast treasure vaults, and they simply disdain the various things in Wuhuang.

Wei Zhongzheng patted Qin Yun's shoulder and smiled, "Little Yun, Wuhuang is vast! There are many places we can't explore, there are always people beyond people, skies beyond skies!"

"Master, are there many spiritual Demon Beasts in the Path of Demons?" Qin Yun asked, he also thought of acquiring some Demon Beast crystal eggs at that time.

Mo Mo's ability is very powerful, she can see through damaged runes, if she is needed and there are not enough Demon Beast crystal eggs, it would be very regrettable.

"There are, but they are very cunning, not so easy to kill!" Wei Zhongzheng said.

The Path of Demons is the place between Wuhuang and the Demon Beast Wilderness, a large mountain range.

As long as you cross that mountain range, you can go to the Demon Beast Wilderness, and if you are strong enough, you can go from the Demon Beast Wilderness to the mighty Demon Wilderness!

...

Everyone's flying treasures were very fast, in two or three days, they flew to the outside of the mountain range of the Path of Demons.

When Qin Yun arrived here, he saw that the mountain range was shrouded in dense black mist.

Here, there is a Mystic City of the Demon Path, also built by the Hall of Runes.

Everyone entered this mystic city, coming to the villa where the Hall of Runes is located.

Just as they entered, Wei Zhongzheng frowned and said, "The powerful individuals from the bloodline families have indeed come! Martial Kings of the Bloodline Families, immensely powerful!"
