Chapter 589 Mountains and Seas [Part Two]

This person is no one else.

It was Hu Qi.

Watching Lin Luan's departing figure in the distance.

He looked away.

Lin Luan's unusual behavior was naturally the result of his intervention.

Although the strength of his body as a barbarian cultivator was only at the peak of the Bone Creation Realm.

However, with the blessing of the divine beast bloodline Xuan Snake, coupled with the power of his main body gradually being unsealed.

Its power cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

In addition, there is his understanding of the soul as a Dao Lord.

It wouldn't be difficult to modify the memories of a barbarian cultivator at the Soul Refining Realm who is comparable to the Divine Refining level.

Previously, it was done through hypnotic interrogation.

He obtained the other party's identity and some other information from them.

The vast wilderness is teeming with strange beasts and fraught with danger.

Depending on their numbers and the number of powerful cultivators, the barbarians formed settlements of different sizes, such as villages, tribes, and cities.

Lin Luan was born into a large tribe with hundreds of thousands of barbarians: the Tianlin tribe.

In the area where Fengxi Village is located, the Tianlin Tribe is the most powerful force in the vicinity.

Apart from that, Lin Luan knew very little other information.

As far as Lin Luan knew, they were unaware whether there was another world beyond the Great Wilderness.

In her mind, the Great Wilderness was the entire world, composed of endless mountains and swamps, with nothing but barbarians and strange beasts.

But this is obviously impossible.

As a high-dimensional real world, it is impossible for it to have only such a structure.

This is normal, given the limitations of this era. The other party had only visited other tribes a few times and had not explored the Great Wilderness. All the information they knew was from ancient books and what other barbarians had said.

Hu Qi frowned because he noticed something else.

That is, the Savage Soul Realm technique cultivated by the other party has some kind of fundamental flaw.

Although it was hidden very well.

But what level of attainment does Hu Qi reach?
Naturally, the drawbacks were immediately apparent.

This defect will not have a significant impact on cultivators, but once they encounter another type of extremely yang power, it will weaken them.

It felt as if someone had done this on purpose.

"...Is it just her method that's flawed, or is it the same for all barbarian cultivators above the Barbarian Soul Realm?"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

He did not make a hasty decision immediately; this speculation can only be confirmed after he acquires more knowledge in the future.

Concentrate your thoughts.

He slowly raised his hand, and there in his palm was a precious pearl that emitted a faint blue light.

Blue light flowed within the pearl, sealing a tiny, ethereal image of a dragon's body and a human face. It was as small as an earthworm, yet it continued to coil and emit silent roars.

This was the Ice Barbarian that Hu Qi had previously devoured.

He did not completely kill the other party, but left behind a trace of his soul.

"Now I will ask you questions and you will answer them! If your answers satisfy me, I am not unwilling to let your soul leave."

Hu Qi's expression was calm and indifferent.

Bingyi, who had been roaring and howling, stopped abruptly upon hearing Hu Qi's voice.

A pale human face was pressed against the surface of the sphere, staring straight at Hu Qi.

"You really will let me go?"

Hu Qi nodded.

"I, Hei Xuan, always keep my word and value my promises above all else."

Throughout his life, he valued integrity above all else.

Besides, given your current situation, you pose absolutely no threat to me, so why would I lie to you?

Bingyi looked intently at Hu Qi.

It seemed they were judging the veracity of Hu Qi's words.

However, it also understood that the other party was now the one wielding the knife, and it was like a fish on a chopping board, powerless and with no choice whatsoever.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, it spoke.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I want to know, how big is this world? What lies beyond the Great Wilderness?"

Hu Qidao.

This is what he most wants to know.

Because the Tianlin tribe elder named Lin Luan had no memory of this matter.

But that is clearly impossible.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that the number of the three great suns in the sky is different from the number I saw when I first arrived in this world is enough to prove that this world is not as simple as it seems.

Hear the words.

A hint of human-like doubt appeared on Bingyi's pale face.

It hadn't expected Hugh to ask that question.

"Do you have no information about this world or any memories inherited from your bloodline?"

In its view, Hu Qi was a divine beast with the same pure-blooded true culprit bloodline.

It's impossible that there's no bloodline memory to pass down.

"There are some problems with my inherited memories, which is why I need to verify them with you."

But don't try to deceive me. My memory is incomplete, but not nonexistent.

Hu Qi said calmly.

Bingyi did not ask any further questions.

But the Tao.

"The entire Great Wilderness is vast, and I don't know what lies beyond it. I was born at the bottom of a great swamp within the Great Wilderness."

But according to my inherited memories, this world is not just this small!

Speaking of it.

He paused for a moment, glanced at Hu Qi's expression, and then spoke.

"According to the records of this world in the bloodline."

Legend has it that this place is called the Mountain and Sea Realm.

There was a scene of ten suns soaring across the sky, the heavens and earth blazing fiercely.

On this earth, divine beasts of similar bloodlines as you and me... abound, roaming the vast wilderness, their roars shaking mountains and rivers.

His voice was deep, as if it pierced through endless years, carrying a hint of desolation and reminiscence.

"At that time, the gods walked the earth, strange beasts guarded the four directions, the laws of heaven and earth manifested, and all races competed for life... It was a glorious yet cruel era."

"Then, something happened... the sky collapsed, seven of the ten suns fell, the gods disappeared, and the mountains and rivers crumbled."

Glory faded into silence, and the bloodline gradually thinned. Now, even the name 'Shan Hai' is rarely known.

As Bingyi narrates, an ancient and vast worldview unfolds before Hu Qi's eyes.

Although the other party's bloodline content is more detailed than the memories within Hu Qixuan Snake's bloodline, it is still limited.

However, this is also quite useful for Hu Qi.

At the very least, I now know the name of this real world.

"The Realm of Mountains and Seas?"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

He kept thinking to himself.

This is interesting.

The strange beasts in this wilderness are basically the same as those recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Although some of them have slight differences, they are not very similar.

The name "Shan Hai" (山海) is clearly not a coincidence.

"...Therefore, based on my guess, this Great Wilderness may only be a very small part of the Mountains and Seas."

Bingyi's voice came at this moment.

Hu Qi remained unmoved.

After that, I asked about other things again.

For example, who are the most powerful beings here, and does a true god exist?

Some questions were answered, while others remained unknown to Bingyi.

Seeing this, Hu Qi stopped talking.

Instead, he fell into deep thought.

If the other party is not lying.

So, for some unknown reason, this powerful Mountain and Sea Realm caused the upheaval in the world, and this place may just be an insignificant fragment within the true Mountain and Sea Realm.

This coincides to some extent with Hu Qi's previous speculation. However, if this is indeed the case, it also means that there are no Dao Lords or True Gods here.

Perhaps he doesn't need to be so cautious at all and can relax a little.

He remained silent upon seeing Hu Qi.

Bingyi hesitated for a moment before asking.

"I've told you everything I know, can you let me go now?"

"Of course, I said I am a man of my word."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qi, who was deep in thought, smiled and nodded.

See this.

Bingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although its physical body has been destroyed, only a wisp of its soul remains.

However, it is different from ordinary ferocious beasts and ancient exotic species.

Even if the physical body no longer exists, it is not difficult to possess an ordinary ancient alien species.

Given enough time, it may be able to recover its strength.

Think of this.

A chilling killing intent flashed deep in its eyes.

It has come to this point.

It's all thanks to this black serpent in front of us.

Once it regains its strength, it will surely avenge today's humiliation...

However, the moment this thought arose...

It discovered that Hu Qi did not release it as promised, but instead raised his hand and threw it into his mouth.

Its expression changed drastically.

"You broke your promise... Ah..."

Click, click!
Bingyi hadn't finished speaking.

The entire bead shattered.

Hu Qi opened and closed his mouth, chewing it up along with the bead, and swallowed it.

And the last words of Bingyi, a divine beast, completely dissipated from Hu Qi's mouth.

As for deceiving the other party?

What a joke! What does Hei Xuan's agreement have to do with Hu Qi?!

He glanced around at the surroundings.

Hu Qi's figure faded and disappeared from the spot, and his footprints were gradually covered by the falling snow, as if they had never appeared.

……

Several days passed quickly.

In the Great Wilderness, after Bingyi's death, the overwhelming blizzard and cold wind gradually subsided.

Although the fierce winds of the past have faded, the surrounding fields are still covered in a blanket of white snow.

The snow had not yet melted, which still somewhat hampered the hunting.

Fortunately, the time is still short and the village has sufficient meat reserves to cope with the current situation.

In the past few days, Hu Qi has gradually shown signs of sensing the flow of Qi and blood.

This caused a trace of sorrow to appear between A-Yun's brows and eyes.

She often couldn't sleep at night, lighting an oil lamp and burying herself in mending clothes, from children to adults of all ages.

Fortunately, Feng Jiao, as the captain of the hunting team, came from one of the wealthiest families in the village and never lacked animal hides.

Otherwise, even if Ayun wanted to rush to make clothes, she would have no rice to cook.

Feng Jiao saw this and understood: this silly woman was doing this because she was afraid that her two children would have no clothes to wear when they went out into the world.

In fact, this worry was completely unnecessary.

Given their demonstrated abilities, they would receive special training even if they went to a large tribe.

Therefore, he tried to persuade him several times.

But Ah Yun remained the same.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, he had no choice but to give up and let her continue with her work.

After all, this can also distract the other person and make them feel less uncomfortable.

And during this period.

Because Fenghuang had sensed the Qi and blood ahead of time and successfully entered the path, she wanted to challenge Hu Qi to a duel.

As a result, he got beaten up again and ended up with bumps all over his head.

Fortunately, with the mastery of her Qi and blood, her recovery ability has also greatly improved.

In less than a night, the swelling disappeared without a trace.

After that, she repeatedly challenged Hu Qi.

But each time he was knocked down by a few punches.

After repeating this several times.

Phoenix finally realized the gap between herself and Hu Qi, so she cultivated even more desperately.

These peaceful days lasted for several days.

suddenly.

One morning, a voice suddenly rang out over Fengxi Village, clearly reaching the ears of every villager:

"I am Panlou, an elder of the Tianlin tribe. Everyone, come out immediately."

The instant the sound faded.

All the barbarians from Fengxi Village stopped what they were doing, quickly walked out of the wooden houses, and gathered on the wooden bridge corridor between the cave walls.

Hu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he stepped out as well.

He looked up and saw that a dark cloud had gathered above Wind-extinguished Valley.

The clouds hung so low they seemed almost within reach.

What's even more alarming is that above those thick, dark clouds, several armored and armed figures stood prominently.

They stood solemnly, their armor gleaming, their weapons flashing coldly. Compared to the simply dressed villagers of Fengxi Village, they seemed like celestial warriors looking down upon mortals, exuding a suffocating aura of power and distance.

At this moment, at the very front of the procession stood a burly and tall barbarian figure.

It was an extremely large giant, standing three meters tall, and most notably, it had a single, jet-black horn on its forehead.

This person was the one who spoke earlier.

He was a top expert in the Tianlin tribe, second only to the tribe leader in strength.

Beside him stood a barbarian woman with hideous scars on her face.

She was none other than Lin Luan, who had left earlier.

Previously, Lin Luan brought the news back to the tribe. After a short period of healing, they noticed that the blizzard in the area had subsided unusually, and guessed that the Ice Barbarian might have left or even perished.

Therefore, the tribe decided that Panlou would lead the team to venture into the Great Wilderness once again.

To avoid any accidents.

A troop of barbarian guards even accompanied them on this journey.

These barbarian guards are at least at the Bone Creation Realm. Although they can never break through to the Barbarian Soul Realm after using secret techniques to achieve this, they will never be able to do so in their lifetime.

However, their combat strength is also among the top in the Bone Creation Realm. If multiple people form an array, their combat strength can even rival that of ordinary Savage Soul Realm beings.

Fortunately, this time it went smoothly. Apart from a couple of foolish beasts that came up to us and were killed, nothing else happened.

They arrived at Fengxi Village without any problems.

At this moment, Pan Lou's gaze swept over the crowd below.

Who is the village chief of this place?

The moment the words fell.

Feng Ling, leaning on a wooden staff, stepped forward.

He bowed slightly to the crowd above.

"I am the village chief of Fengxi Village. May I ask what brings you esteemed envoys here?"

When she was young, she spent some time in the Tianlin tribe.

He immediately recognized the barbarian guards.

These people are the true iron-fisted enforcers within the Tianlin tribe, and they have all come here together.

In addition, two elders were present.
