destiny eternal calamity

The Black Water Serpent was incredibly fast, more than twice as fast as Shi Potian's bird.

Li Wei knew that the person he was standing on was probably a powerful being at the level of a demon king, who knew a lot of things, so he started chatting with him casually.

Of course, the topic of the immortal realm was avoided to prevent being discovered as an imposter.

"Senior Blackwater, it has been a thousand years since I last descended to the mortal realm. I heard that the Queen Mother of the West intends to nurture the human race. I wonder what the current state of the human race is?"

Li Wei considered that the Blackwater Serpent was also a demon and might not support the human race, so he didn't directly ask about the human race's situation, but instead mentioned the Queen Mother of the West's attitude.

"They're just a bunch of hopeless wretch; not a single human has broken through to the Void Realm in a whole thousand years."

The Blackwater Serpent scoffed.

"Young friend Wei, if you are able to gain the Palace Master's favor this time, you must persuade her to give up on the human race as soon as possible, so as to avoid continuing to waste time and resources."

Li Wei was speechless upon hearing this.

He really didn't expect that the human race hadn't even emerged from the Void Realm for a full thousand years.

If I were to reveal my human identity now, I might even be able to compete for the title of the strongest human.

However, the fact that there are cultivators destined for heaven indicates that the human race has not been specifically blocked by the Heavenly Dao.

So where exactly does the problem lie?

In addition, judging from the Blackwater Serpent's answer, it can be seen that most of the demon races on Kunlun Mountain are probably not friendly towards humans.

Ultimately, why did the Queen Mother of the West establish Kunlun?

Is it really for the sake of revitalizing the human race?

How could any demon be willing to follow her?

Based on the Blackwater Serpent's previous words, it can be inferred that there were also immortals who descended to earth and sought refuge with the Queen Mother of the West.

So, did the Queen Mother of the West also come from the celestial realm?

Indeed, this martial arts method was clearly created by a powerful being for the human race to cultivate.

Rather than being developed gradually by the human race.

Moreover, the methods that the Queen Mother of the West displayed in front of him last time all involved cause and effect, which were not something that ordinary people could control.

Looking down from the top of the Blackwater Serpent's head, Li Wei saw that most of the ground was still wilderness.

The demons prefer to build cave dwellings to live in, which is quite "primitive".

Living in a mirage like the mirage tribe is already a very "urbanized" lifestyle.

Occasionally, there are a few scattered human settlements, where people wear animal skins and live in caves or simple wooden huts, with no fundamental difference in their living conditions from a thousand years ago.

It is evident that the development of humankind over this thousand years has been rather lackluster.

"Senior, what was the outcome of the great war between the Taotie and Bifang that broke out a thousand years ago?"

Li Wei suddenly thought of this question.

He remembered that the area where the Stone Raven settlement was located was about to be taken over by the Gluttonous Alliance. Why didn't they move away later?

"The Taotie and Bifang fought for decades, and in the end, both races were severely weakened and were attacked by other demon races, and were wiped out together."

The Blackwater Serpent seemed to have thought of something interesting, and spoke with a smile in its tone.

"They've been fighting for decades..."

Since the war has lasted for so long, Li Wei knows that even with the protection of the forest, the Stone Raven settlement will never escape the conquest of the Taotie Alliance.

It seems the people of Stone Crow Village have moved away, but Shi Potian only came back later because he wanted to try his luck and capture this "immortal".

The residents of the small town he had met earlier were probably no longer descendants of the Stone Raven settlement.

Having roughly ascertained the matters he was concerned about, Li Wei stopped asking questions and quietly waited for the Xuan Snake flight to arrive in Kunlun.

The Blackwater Serpent didn't fly very high. Along the way, whether it was a human or a demon, everyone who saw this giant serpent flying overhead was terrified and trembled with fear.

In just half a day, the man and the snake arrived at Kunlun.

Kunlun is not a single mountain peak, but a group of mountain peaks.

Li Weineng could clearly feel that the air was thin due to the altitude.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator, so he wasn't greatly affected.

"Blackwater! You've finally come back? I thought you'd been sacrificed to the heavens!"

A huge tiger suddenly appeared from the side and spoke in a human voice.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wei discovered that the tiger had a human face growing on its head, and it looked exceptionally ferocious.

"Enlightened one, even if you die, Grandpa won't die!"

The Blackwater Serpent flicked its tail, driving the human-faced tiger aside, and then leisurely floated up the mountain.

"Blackwater, stop right there! Who's that masked man on your back?"

The voice of the human-faced tiger came from behind.

"This person has come down from heaven to seek refuge with the palace master."

"Hmph, is the Immortal Realm still so unbearable to stay in?"

The human-faced tiger walked to the side of the black water snake, raised its head and spoke to Li Wei.

Looking at this strange creature, Li Wei suddenly felt a sense of disorientation; this thing seemed to be a species that did not originate from this world.

Neither the Stone Crow nor the Blackwater Serpent gave him this feeling; this guy just looked too strange.

Thinking about it this way, the world nine thousand years from now seems too ordinary.

So where did all these magical demons go?

Li Wei's mind was racing, but he answered the other person's question verbally:

"Yeah, it's still just as bad."

This Kunlun is clearly the stronghold of rebels in the immortal realm, so of course he has to play the role of a dissatisfied element in the immortal realm here.

"There's nothing wrong with the mortal realm. Although our power has decreased, there aren't as many people oppressing us. Why linger in the immortal realm? Young brother, you can stay in the mortal realm from now on."

"There are some things I need to retrieve from the Immortal Realm..." Li Wei hinted slyly.

The human-faced tiger understood perfectly.

Immortals like Li Wei, who have the means to return to the celestial realm, are indeed of special value to Kunlun.

"Young friend Wei, I'll leave you here. You'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

The Blackwater Serpent lowered its head, put Li Wei down, and then rode the wind to fly north towards the Kunlun Mountains.

Li Wei glanced up and saw a gap in front of him, which should be the entrance to Kunlun. Walking through it would take him inside Kunlun.

With the Enlightened Beast guarding the outside, there weren't many unnecessary obstacles inside.

As Li Wei walked up the ravine, he felt a strong wind blowing in his face.

But once they passed through the gap, the weather immediately became sunny and pleasant.

The gap leads to a basin, which is surrounded by five mountain peaks.

The basin is filled with magnificent palaces and towers, with overlapping flowers and trees, resembling a fairyland.

There are twelve jade towers in total, each of which is no less large than a mirage.

Li Wei had read several books on feng shui and divination in the princess's residence, and could roughly guess that the five mountain peaks outside were used as the base of the Five Elements Formation to provide the valley with stable and peaceful primordial energy.

Li Wei sensed it briefly and immediately felt that the five mountain peaks around him were imbued with the five elements, soaring straight into the heavens, and were all divine peaks capable of establishing a sect.

This formation is truly impressive.

He walked along the widest road.

Even Shi Potian could remember him; if the Queen Mother of the West were here, she would surely have already noticed his arrival.

But she did not show up in person.

It seems this woman wants to observe him.
