The Second Set: Strife in the Cultivation Realm Chapter 40: Land of Death

  In the void of Jiuyou Refining Realm, space was violently shaking. A black whirlpool appeared in the air, and as the shaking grew stronger, a dark passageway emerged within the whirlpool with a "Hsss" sound!

  A streak of black light shot out and slowed down just in time to turn into a human figure!

  "Damn it! No wonder the Demon Emperor warned me repeatedly to be careful, this spatial passage is really freaking dangerous!" The figure let out a long sigh and cursed angrily.

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!"

  The figure waved its hand and said: "All of you get up, just call me Dark Magic God Senior!"

  Above the Silver Wolf Tribe, a vortex was violently shaking and space was constantly shattering and collapsing. The vortex would occasionally emit various rays of light, sometimes white, sometimes black, sometimes green, and sometimes blue! "Whoosh-----" A silver-white passage appeared in the vortex!

  A silver light shot out and transformed into a silvery white wolf!

  "Aooooo!" A heaven-shaking wolf howl, and the silver-white Silver Wolf transformed into human form!

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!" The current leader of the Silver Wolf Tribe, Yin Zhan, had already led his people to wait on one side and hastened to bow in respect upon seeing this scene.

  "There's no need for excessive courtesy from all of you, just address me as Xuan Tian Qian Bei!" Silver Xuan Tian said calmly.

  A golden light burst out of a pale yellow passageway in the sky above the dragon tribe, slowing down to transform into a gigantic golden dragon!

  The golden giant dragon let out a loud and clear dragon's roar that echoed through the heavens and earth, then with a swing of its tail, it slowly transformed into human form!

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!" The current Dragon Clan leader, Long Tian, led the dragons in bowing to pay their respects!

  "Get up, and just call me Ao Tian Senior!" Dragon Ao Tian said with an arrogant face! As a rare high-level divine beast in the dragon clan, he indeed had the capital to be proud of!

  A crimson glow burst out of a dark red portal in the sky above the Red Blood Sect, slowing down as it approached to reveal a human figure.

  "Haha! Finally escaped this bird passageway!" The figure laughed loudly and said.

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!" The current leader of the Red Blood Demon Sect, Blood Slaughter Demon Lord, led the crowd in a respectful bow to pay their respects!

  "Haha! No need for formalities, just call me Ha Xue Blood Demon Senior!" Ha Xue Blood Demon laughed loudly.

  A flash of light like lightning shot out from a pale green passageway in the sky above Shen Lei Sect, slowing down just as it was about to reach its destination and transforming into a human figure!

  "Xiu Zhen Realm, I'm back again!" The figure muttered to himself!

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!" Qing Sha, the Sect Master of Shen Lei Sect, led his disciples in a respectful bow to pay their respects!

  "Everyone get up, just call me Yun Lei senior!" Yun Lei Daozhang said with a profound gaze!

  A purple light shot out from a pale blue passageway in the sky above the Broken Sky Valley, slowing down just as it was about to reach its destination and transforming into a human figure!

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!" The Valley Master of Duan Tian Valley, Duan Tian Demon King, led the people in the valley to pay their respects with a bow!

  A figure calmly said: "Get up, you can address me as Luocha Demon Senior!"

  Above the Phoenix tribe, a vortex is violently shaking, the space inside the vortex is constantly shattering and collapsing, with seven-colored light radiating from the surroundings, sometimes red, sometimes purple, sometimes green, sometimes white, sometimes blue, sometimes black, the colors are constantly changing!

  The space fluctuation grew stronger, "Hsss———" A crimson passage burst out of the vortex, and a fiery red light shot out from the passage at incredible speed! The speed was so fast that it exceeded the speed of light, producing a "sizzling" sound as it rubbed against the gas inside the passage.

  The fiery light flashed until it was close, then slowed down and turned into a phoenix surrounded by flames all over its body. The temperature of the flames surrounding the phoenix's body had reached an alarming degree!

  After a brief pause, the phoenix retracted the flames surrounding its body, made a beautiful turn, and transformed into an elegant and noble beauty!

  "Welcome, Envoy of the Upper Realm!" The current leader of the Phoenix Clan, Huángùn, led the clan members in a bow to pay their respects!

  "There's no need for formalities, everyone. You can just call me Huāng Róu Yún, Senior!" Huāng Róu Yún said with a soft and gentle voice! If it weren't for the fact that everyone had seen her emerge from the spatial portal, they would have thought she was an innocent little girl who didn't know anything about the world!

  Dong Lingshan Peak, Ouyang Qiyu withdrew the watching immortal consciousness. Now in the Xiuzhen realm, all nine major powers have sent envoys! It seems that the strongest is the Dragon Clan envoy, and then there's the Phoenix Clan envoy who looks like a little girl! After all, both the Dragon and Phoenix Clan envoys are high-level divine beasts, and their strength is naturally stronger than ordinary Xiuzhen cultivators. What's more, they possess inherited memories as high-level divine beasts!

  It seems that this treasure hunt is not simple, Ou Yang Jiu Yu thought to herself, her eyes flashing with an unusual color!

  Up to now, the messengers of the nine major factions have all come down, making the forces of the nine major factions more stable! Because each messenger brought a large number of immortal artifacts to the people of the lower realms, among which the Town Clan's treasure is an upper-grade immortal artifact!

  All the messengers are waiting quietly for the appearance of the Hidden Law Star. Although the Hidden Law Star appears at a fixed interval of 3,650,000 years, its location is not fixed and changes with each appearance. Therefore, all the messengers can only wait until the Hidden Law Star appears to determine its position before rushing over.

  "Hum———" The trembling sound echoed throughout the entire Xiuzhen realm, and countless people in the Xiuzhen realm looked up towards the northwest!

  Billions of rays of light came from the northwest, vaguely visible as a planet emitting light, and the sound and light only lasted for a moment before returning to normal, as if the sound and light had never appeared, leaving countless people stunned!

  "Yin Fa Xing" Everyone who knows the origin of Yin Fa Xing is staring at the northwest with shining eyes!

  Xianling Sect!

  "The Hidden Law Star has appeared!" exclaimed Chen Muzi with delight, "The Hidden Law Star has finally appeared!"

  "Chen Muzi, you're not quite right!" Chu Qiansheng exclaimed after a moment of surprise!

  "What's wrong?" Chu Qian Shi asked with a glance!

  "Chu Qiansheng's face turned solemn as he said, 'Zhenzi, the position where that hidden star appeared earlier was in the northwest. But the northwest is a notorious death zone in the Cultivation Realm!'"

  "Oh———? Land of death? What do you mean?" Chen Mu Zi asked in puzzlement.

  "The Land of Death, a boundless icy region where not a single wisp of spiritual energy exists, only the aura of ice and snow! Everywhere is filled with biting cold winds that grow stronger as one ventures deeper. If this were all, it wouldn't be enough to earn its name as the Land of Death. What's most crucial is that within this treacherous environment, there are endless heavenly thunderbolts, whose levels increase as one goes further in! It's said that at the center of the region lies the Nine-Tribulation Scattered Immortal, who would be reduced to nothing but a scattered soul even if struck by heavenly thunder!" Chu Qiansheng revealed everything he knew.

  "What a place the Cultivation Realm has!" Zi Mu's eyes sparkled with surprise, he hadn't expected that the Cultivation Realm would have such a place. He also hadn't expected that Yin Fa Xing would appear in this kind of place. It was unclear whether this was good or bad fortune!

  It's not just Zhen Mu Zi, but also other factions and forces, some of whom have known for a long time, while others have just found out, are all pondering whether this is good or bad. Given the danger of the land of death, it's estimated that only the messengers from the upper realm have the strength to make it through, while the disciples of other tribes probably can't cross the land of death.

  The hidden star, which can only be reached after traversing the entire land of death, seems to make this appearance of the hidden star the most unpredictable one in billions of years!

  When the major forces and sects were discussing, in the entire Xiu Xian world, the unclear scattered cultivators, as long as they reached the stage of combining bodies and could teleport, all rushed to the land of death!

  Dong Leng Mountain Peak, the disciples of Baihe Sect had already received Ou Yang Jiu Yu's order and were quietly cultivating within the sect, not going to join in the commotion.

  Suddenly, Ou Yang Jiu Yu, who was bidding farewell to his brother-in-law, had a sudden movement in his heart and took out the Transmission Spirit Stone!

  "A hundred generations of seniors, because this time the hidden method star appeared in a place that is too special, I am not participating in it due to my insufficient strength. At that time, our sect's messenger, Chen Muzi senior, will join forces with you, so I specially inform you, senior, and wish you a smooth journey. Your junior, Chu Qiansheng, pays his respects!"

  "Hmm, inform my envoy... I'll head to the land of death first and wait for him!" A hint of a smile flashed in Ouyang Jiu's profound eyes. Since he had to pretend to be a senior, he might as well do it thoroughly! In terms of speed, with his current cultivation at the later stage of the Immortal Emperor, these Grand Luo Golden Immortal envoys wouldn't be able to catch up even if they were riding horses! When the other envoys arrived and found that he had arrived before them, coupled with their inability to see through his true cultivation, this would create a false impression in their minds! I, Bai Shi San Ren, am a senior who has surpassed the Grand Luo Golden Immortal! This way, those envoys will have to think thrice before daring to make a move against me!

  "Wife, if you're bored, go to the mortal realm with Huisi and Fengzhu for some experience. I'll be back soon!" Ouyang Qiuyu instructed, still worried.

  "That bad old man, come back early, I'll miss you!" Murong Wanqiu said with a tender and reluctant tone in her eyes.

  Ouyang Jiayu nodded and gazed at his wife for a moment, then suddenly teleported to the land of death!

  PS: Yesterday, the thunderstorm was intense. After uploading that chapter, I turned on the computer and it wasn't even a minute before the power went out, just like Er She said! Now that I've woken up, I see another dark and stormy day with thunderstorms. As soon as I turn on the lights, I find there's still electricity, so I quickly start the computer and upload another chapter. Dammit, it's definitely going to go out again! Frustrating!
