Chapter 468: The Mystic Land of Heaven and Earth, A Soul Wander's Journey (Part 1)
Chapter 468: The Mystic Land of Heaven and Earth, A Soul Wander's Journey (Part 1)
In a distant land, ancient cities were scattered across the realm.
Within the bustling market towns, buildings were sparse, and the night cast a dark shadow, revealing only a few cultivators.
Qi Yuan stood enveloped in darkness, his features obscured.
As his divine perception swept across the town, he muttered to himself, "This town has too few people; it's unlike the Sixth Heaven."
In the Sixth Heaven, the Immortal Path flourished, and every town was bustling with people, enveloped in a rich spiritual aura. But here, an eerie gloom lingered, and the place had long been in decline.
The town's roads were neither clean nor tidy.
Broken stone slabs lay scattered in the mud, and a faint stench of urine permeated the air.
As Qi Yuan stepped into the town, a flickering ghostly flame danced in the eerie darkness ahead.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared, hunched like an old woman, cloaked in a gray robe, and wearing a mask that concealed her face.
"Young man, are you also here to seek your fortune in the Mystic Land of Heaven and Earth?" The gray-robed female cultivator's voice was hoarse, like the sound of a throat being scraped, and quite unpleasant.
Qi Yuan glanced at her, "I'm headed to the Mystic Land, not to seek my fortune."
"Let me give you a word of advice, young man. Although the Mystic Land is filled with treasures, it also harbors countless dangers. Don't die in there and cause your loved ones sorrow." The gray-robed woman spoke in a somber tone, standing by Qi Yuan's side, resembling a frail, aged wanderer, making one wonder if she might pass away at any moment.
"Thank you for the warning, but rest assured, even if the Sixth Heaven falls, I won't die." Qi Yuan exuded confidence.
"You young people are so full of yourselves. The Mystic Land is filled with mysteries and unpredictable. There's a Soul Wander who roams the night, seeking people's lives. Don't die in vain there." The gray-robed woman spoke with a heavy heart.
"Hey, who's talking about being full of themselves?" Qi Yuan couldn't hold back, "You, young lady, instead of learning good manners, are you harassing me on the road? You keep mentioning 'hair,' but why don't you check if your own hair has grown?"
"Huh?" The gray-robed woman exclaimed in surprise, "How did you... see through my disguise?"
Her voice was no longer hoarse but crisp, like a mountain stream hitting rocks, clearly that of a young person.
The gray robe she wore was an ancestral treasure, so elusive that even a legendary Yang Deity would struggle to see through it.
Yet, this young cultivator had effortlessly seen through her disguise.
How could she not be shocked? Even a legendary Yang Deity would trigger a reaction from her ancestral treasure, alerting her.
But just now, her ancestral treasure had shown no response.
How did he do it? To avoid detection by her ancestral treasure and see her true form meant he could also see her body, right?
And if he could see her body, he could also see if her hair had grown, couldn't he? At this thought, her face paled, and she quickly covered herself, fleeing in terror.
Qi Yuan watched the gray-robed woman's retreating figure, speechless, "How strange, she's lucky she met me. If she had encountered a Great Supreme Principle Yang Deity, she wouldn't have kept that treasure for long."
Qi Yuan's eyes could perceive information differences, so it was natural for him to discern the treasure the female cultivator used to conceal her aura, a Creation Artifact.
Ordinary Yang Deities might not notice it, but it couldn't escape the eyes of a Great Supreme Principle Yang Deity.
If she met someone ruthless, they might casually slay her and take the treasure.
If the Yang Deity was kind or had some morals, they might pretend to have discovered a treasure and offer some Immortal Jade to buy the Creation Artifact.
But Qi Yuan was different.
He had his principles.
The female cultivator didn't meet his standards of being a 'White Moonlight.'
Although Qi Yuan was born with the ability to love, he wasn't a 'Sea King' who loved everyone.
His love had conditions.
It had to be 'White Moonlight.'
However, Qi Yuan sighed, "The cultivation world's morals have truly deteriorated, deeply ingrained. When I saw this woman, my thoughts were no different from those of other Yang Deity Venerables who kill to steal treasures!"
Although this was Qi Yuan's speculation, he was sure it wasn't his fault.
The fault lay with... the cultivation world.
"Once I become powerful, I'll restore the Sixth Heaven to its former glory!"
Qi Yuan thought to himself as he ventured deeper into the town.
The entrance to the Mystic Land of Heaven and Earth was inconspicuous, hidden in the town's depths.
On the other side, within a hidden cavern, an old woman with a wrinkled face laughed, "Who dares to bully our Yun?"
Tian Yun, dressed in a gray robe, couldn't hide her graceful aura.
"Auntie Luan, there's a strange man in the town!" Tian Yun thought of the black-robed man, feeling both worried and angry.
"The Mystic Land of Heaven and Earth is filled with spiritual treasures, so it's normal for cultivators to come treasure hunting.
Yun, you're too kind-hearted, always reminding them... As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a stubborn ghost to change their ways. If he wants to enter the Mystic Land and meet his end, let him!"
As Auntie Luan mentioned the Mystic Land, a complex expression flashed in her eyes.
She and Tian Yun were originally from the Mystic Land of Heaven and Earth.
But a thief had invaded their land, claiming it as his own, forcing her to flee with Tian Yun to save their lives.
The thief was incredibly powerful, nearly wiping out their entire clan.
Fortunately, the thief dared not enter the Sixth Heaven; otherwise, they wouldn't have escaped death, even in hiding.
Chaos Aunt's expression turned grave as she said, "To be able to see the family's secret treasure, it must be for..."
Her face was filled with fear and deep concern.
It must be the Great Supreme Enlightenment!
A powerful being like that, discovering the treasure on Tianyun's body, would never let it go.
Now, Tianyun was still alive, could it be that he was planning something big?
Chaos Aunt stood up, her chest heaving, and her divine perception continuously scanned the surroundings: "Senior, are you here? Please accept this treasure as a token of our gratitude, and spare our lives!"
She spoke loudly, her attitude sincere.
If such a powerful being were lurking around her, she would never have been able to detect them, and they would have instantly killed her.
Tianyun's face suddenly paled.
She realized something.
However, the surroundings were silent, and no one replied to her.
Chaos Aunt didn't detect any powerful beings nearby either.
Could it be... that she was overthinking things?
After about a hundred breaths, Chaos Aunt let out a sigh of relief.
"Could it be that I've encountered a senior with a noble character?" Chaos Aunt sighed.
If she were in that situation, she would probably struggle to suppress the greed in her heart.
Even if she couldn't find anything valuable, she might still be able to compensate a little by picking up some bargains.
Hearing this, Tianyun's initial embarrassment faded, and her ill feelings towards Qiyuan dissipated, replaced by a sense of admiration.
As she spoke, her face turned slightly red.
But then she thought, as long as the main principles were intact, a small personal flaw wasn't a big deal.
"Aunt Chaos, is it dangerous for that senior to go to the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land...?" Tianyun asked anxiously, her thoughts racing.
After all, the Holy Light Clan was present in the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land.
Because of the Holy Light Clan, almost no Yang Deities from the Sixth Heaven would dare to step into the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land.
Those who went there to find bargains were mostly Yin Immortals and lower-level cultivators.
Hearing this, Chaos Aunt's gaze became complex: "If an ordinary cultivator were to enter the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land, they would likely face death.
But... since he dared to go in, he must have his reasons.
We are weak, so we shouldn't speculate on the thoughts of such a powerful figure."
Tianyun blinked: "Does this mean that the senior has a chance to drive away the culprit, or even kill them? Can we go home now?"
Tianyun was excited at the mention of this.
After all, the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land was her home, and if the culprit were to perish, she could return home.
Chaos Aunt shook her head: "The Holy Light Clan is not so easily defeated. The senior might only be able to protect himself in the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land, and if he encounters the Holy Light Clan, he might be in danger as well."
Although she refrained from speculating, she couldn't help but wonder.
The Holy Light Clan was almost an unsolvable problem in the Sixth Heaven.
Their methods were too bizarre, and even with the supreme principle skill of the Great Supreme Enlightenment, it would still be difficult to deal with them.
Hearing this, Tianyun felt a sense of disappointment.
...
"The natives here are called the Heavenly Clan?"
Qiyuan found a suitable spot in the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land and lay down leisurely.
There were quite a few cultivators in this mystic land.
Qiyuan casually grabbed a few careless cultivators and asked about the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land, gaining a deeper understanding of it.
The Heavenly Kun Mystic Land was also known as the Heavenly Kun Treasure Land.
This mystic land was known for producing many odd treasures.
These treasures were also called Odd Treasures.
There were offensive and defensive types, and all sorts of variations.
It was even rumored that there were treasures comparable to Creation Divine Treasures.
Qiyuan held a bell in his hand.
He had obtained it from an old man who tried to charge him for treasure hunting. Qiyuan refused, and the old man tried to attack him, but Qiyuan easily defeated him.
This bell was one of the odd treasures found in the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land.
【Mystic Jade Bell, Special Creation, Forged with the Mystic Forging Technique: According to... ringing the bell, the warrior in front may hear the sounds of their homeland.
Qiyuan held the bell and rang it according to the recorded technique.
Instantly, an ancient yet kind voice echoed in Qiyuan's ears.
As if crossing the river of history.
"March has arrived, how are you, Fan Qi? The family is well, and we, Ling and I, are weaving armor and clothing at the Heavenly Object Front... It's a good omen, and we await your safe return..."
Within the Mystic Jade Bell was an unopened family letter.
Since Qiyuan could hear it, it meant that Fan Qi, who was at the front, had not received news from home.
"Is this the history of the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land, or..."
Qiyuan pondered.
"This Mystic Forging Technique seems quite interesting. With the fast time flow in the Heavenly Kun Mystic Land, I have plenty of time. I can study these odd treasures daily and learn the forging techniques within them, mastering a new skill."
Mastering a skill is beneficial.
These odd treasures were all related to various forging techniques.
Qiyuan had free time, so he might as well learn something new.
"But this mystic land still can't compare to... the Sixth Heaven. Cultivating the Ancestral Blood Art here is hundreds of times slower, I can't even exploit the bugs."
Qiyuan put aside these thoughts.
He adjusted to a comfortable position and began to gaze through the cracks, looking towards the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner in the distance.
From this distance, others would naturally be unable to see the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner.
But Qiyuan was different; his fast absorption of essence allowed him to see further.
Instantly, information reached his eyes.
【Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, Offensive Divine Treasure, related to the Ghost Extermination Heavenly Lord...】
"More useless information. I want to find a loophole or a way to enter."
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided not to look.
Not finding anything useful on the first day was normal.
"But at least I still have these odd treasures. It’s a good time to learn a new skill."
Qi Yuan shifted his gaze back to the odd treasures.
Suddenly, a cultivation technique named Mini Cyclone Stabilization Technique caught his eye.
As the name suggests, the Stabilization Technique is used to stabilize odd treasures, making them more robust.
The manufacturing process of odd treasures is complex and intricate.
Material selection, forging, stabilization, pattern setting... and so on.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, nine months had passed.
In the outside world, not even a day had gone by.
A delighted expression appeared in Qi Yuan’s eyes.
"Watching the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner so many times, I finally found some loopholes. Not bad, not bad."
Of course, relying solely on this loophole to silently infiltrate the Ghost Gate was still impossible.
Moreover, Qi Yuan had great ambitions and patience. He wanted to find a way not only to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner but also to claim the shadow within as his own, turning it into his Emperor Soul Banner.
"Today’s luck is good. I finally mastered the Mystic Wind Forging Technique... It’s a pity there are no suitable materials here; otherwise, my skills would surely shine."
"Back on Blue Star, with my skills, I could manufacture some second-hand phone replicas and sell them on the market. I’d definitely make a fortune!"
Qi Yuan thought to himself.
Life in the Heaven Earth Mystic Land was always leisurely.
Just then, a young boy carrying a bowl of food similar to zongzi approached.
"Sir, this is what my mother asked me to bring for you!" The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, looking somewhat malnourished.
This boy was named Shi Pan, and he could be considered an original inhabitant of the Heaven Earth Mystic Land.
In the Heaven Earth Mystic Land, disasters were rampant, and many refugees wandered without a fixed home, living their entire lives in migration.
Shi Pan’s mother was a true native of the Heaven Earth Mystic Land. Qi Yuan had seen her before; she was a woman with a delicate appearance but a life full of hardships.
Shi Pan’s father was a cultivator who came to the Heaven Earth Mystic Land to seek treasures... yes, a man who loved "freedom." He left after leaving a seed, and later died.
This group of refugees had no fixed home.
Three months ago, they settled down near Qi Yuan.
Firstly, Qi Yuan was a great cultivator and seemed very kind.
Secondly, some evil cultivators were intimidated by Qi Yuan’s power and dared not come here to cause trouble.
These refugees were both grateful and afraid of Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan took the food similar to zongzi and peeled off the large bamboo leaves. Immediately, a fragrance mixed with the scent of grass wafted up.
"Good, you can all eat meat now," Qi Yuan commented as he ate the zongzi.
Inside the zongzi, there was a large piece of fresh meat, unlike the pre-made ones on Blue Star, which used heavy salt and spices to mask any off-flavors.
