Chapter 1316: Chapter 443: Old Friends Meet Again; 4th-Tier Serpent Appears! [Monthly Pass Requested]
"The current Coastal City is undoubtedly the largest city in our Cangluo, and with the Teleportation Array, one or two Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Extreme Abyss Continent have been stationed in Coastal City. For those talented and capable cultivators, if they pass the assessment, they can join the Black and White Divine Hall and use the Teleportation Array to travel to the Black and White Divine Mountain of the Extreme Abyss Continent for free."
The Ice and Fire Elder replied honestly.
Ji Yuan couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this, "It seems that the most powerful force on the Cangluo Continent should be the Black and White Divine Hall."
"Senior is right."
The Ice and Fire Elder smiled awkwardly, "Even if the cultivators from Blood Luo Mountain went to Coastal City, they would have to behave."
After all, the combined Nascent Soul Cultivators of the entire Demon Dao’s three sects are still fewer than those of the Black and White Divine Hall alone.
Not to mention the Black and White Divine Hall can also mobilize Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Eight Holy Lands.
If a conflict truly arose, Blood Luo Mountain wouldn’t stand a chance.
Ji Yuan glanced at the already aged Ice and Fire Elder, who was further injured from their previous encounter, and ultimately asked:
"Among the Core Formation Cultivators earlier, with whom do you have the greatest enmity?"
"Old Demon Bihai."
Although the Ice and Fire Elder did not know Ji Yuan’s intentions, he still answered honestly.
"Wait for me a moment."
Having said that, Ji Yuan transformed into an Escape Light and left.
The Ice and Fire Elder watched his departing figure with some bewilderment.
If he was unsure before, now he understood very clearly.
Ji Yuan was definitely going to help him resolve the grudge with Old Demon Bihai!
’This person must be the Ji Yuan from those years!’
The Ice and Fire Elder had previous doubts, but now they were completely dispelled.
If it wasn’t Ji Yuan from Cangluo Continent, how could he have asked such questions just now? How could he be resolving a conflict with a Peak Core Formation Cultivator on his behalf now?
Ji Yuan said a moment, and it really was just a moment.
In less than half an incense stick’s time, he had already returned.
Nor did he carry any Blood Qi upon his return, unsoiled as he was, he tossed a Storage Bag to the Ice and Fire Elder, along with a Qi Blood Pill.
"The Storage Bag belongs to Old Demon Bihai. Keep it well, and this elixir can heal your internal injuries."
"This..."
The Ice and Fire Elder initially thought it would be a great favor if Ji Yuan helped him resolve this grudge.
But to his surprise, he even handed over the Storage Bag...
"How could I dare, this is senior’s..."
Before the Ice and Fire Elder could finish, Ji Yuan had already activated the Chasing Lightning Cloud and transformed into a streak of lightning, departing.
He only left his voice echoing on the spot.
"Keep it well, cultivate with peace of mind, and strive to form a Nascent Soul soon."
The voice grew fainter until it completely disappeared.
The Ice and Fire Elder stood there, silently for a long time.
Ji Yuan’s desire not to expose his identity was something he naturally understood... presently, all the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Extreme Abyss Continent were hunting him down.
Everyone wanted that Star-Stepping Wheel on him, so how could he not hide?
’Just didn’t expect, that back then, the kid who hid from everyone could actually form a Nascent Soul, and even before me...’
The Ice and Fire Elder mused, taking the Qi Blood Pill in his hand and tossing it into his mouth, then stood there dumbfounded.
Soon, a phantom figure emerged from him, distinctly that of a white-haired old man.
After emerging, the figure first looked towards the west, in the direction Ji Yuan had departed.
"Didn’t expect that boy truly formed a Nascent Soul, and possesses such powerful strength... perhaps, he may even become a fellow Daoist in the future."
"But now that Blood Luo has just mastered that Secret Technique, it remains uncertain if his return is good or bad."
The white-haired old man spoke softly, then turned to look at the Ice and Fire Elder beside him.
"Now is already quite satisfactory, to form a Nascent Soul, maybe you wish to be the original self... let’s just leave it at that, everyone is well."
Having spoken, the white-haired old man turned and re-entered the Ice and Fire Elder.
If Mei Manor were present, they would surely recognize him.
This phantom white-haired old man is none other than... the Spirit Communication Master!
...
Ji Yuan was unaware of what happened behind.
After bidding farewell to the Ice and Fire Elder, he proceeded westward.
He originally planned to first return to the Water Dragon Sect, but now near the Tianzhu Peak... heading to Thunder Shock Marsh was clearly closer.
Might as well first advance his cultivation and then detour to the Water Dragon Sect upon returning to the Extreme Abyss Continent.
Having traveled west for a while, Ji Yuan slightly adjusted his direction, flying directly towards the southwest.
The places he passed along the way were quite familiar.
Yet at the same time, somewhat unfamiliar.
The seen mountains and rivers remained, but the cities and markets were far from their former state.
When they were under the governance of the six Immortal Sects of Shang Dong, despite chaos, there was at least a semblance of order in the midst of it.
But now, it’s completely gone.
In a world dominated by the Demon Dao, might makes right.
Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense detected dozens of battles even in a small city.
A large portion of the Immortal Talents sold in some markets were related to demons and evil beings.
Sacred materials, which Ji Yuan once could only buy secretly, were now seen everywhere on the streets.
Some even boldly displayed their prices on signs.
"Customizable."
What does customizable mean?
It means whatever kind of corpse you need, you can directly tell them, and they can select suitable targets and sell them freshly killed.
"It’s truly a world dominated by the Demon Dao."
Ji Yuan and Tu Yue sighed, both unable to imagine what the true landscape of the Demon God Continent would be like.
