Chapter 165

Luo Jie said, "No, they were all destroyed by the mutated humans. We went to the continent where the mutated humans were through the Broken Bone Gorge."

Qi Nanshan continued, "We killed countless mutated humans and mutated humans, then came out from another secret territory. We stayed there for two years, and the entire continent was almost wiped out by us."

Falconer let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, it's my fault … I didn't hold on."

Guo Shier knew that he was sad, so he patted his shoulder and said, "All professionals have this awareness."

Qi Nanshan said, "I don't know how many continents we went to, but we finally found the Ancient Xilong Continent. We found a branch of the Ancient Xilong Family, found the teleportation formation there, and killed our way into the Ancient Xilong Continent."

Guo Shier said in disbelief, "Master, Grandpa Nanshan, you did this for me?"

Qi Nanshan smiled and said, "Your master heard that … you were captured by the Ancient Xilong Family, so he prepared to kill his way into the Ancient Xilong Continent. Hehe, the Ancient Xilong Continent is really hard to enter. I didn't expect that there would be so many altar level experts there. We killed countless people, including many altar level experts. We obtained too many souls, so we had no choice but to level up during the battle, and our souls were completely chaotic …"

Wang Ke 'er was shocked, she said, "Killing your way into the core continent of an ancient family … you guys are amazing!"

Guo Shier didn't know what to feel. If it wasn't for the fact that he planned to go home, he wouldn't have gone to the Ancient Xilong Continent. He didn't expect that he would save Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan, and he didn't expect that they were in danger because they wanted to save him.

Khalchi said, "With their strength, if their souls weren't chaotic … they wouldn't be in danger."

Nan You didn't say anything. He couldn't imagine that Guo Shier's master would kill his way into the core continent of an ancient family for his disciple. This was too ferocious.

Luo Jie said, "I didn't expect … we couldn't save Shier, but Shier saved us. Hehe, this is amazing."

Qi Nanshan said, "Shier, I didn't expect that you also reached the third layer of altar level. Where have you been all these years?"

Guo Shi 'er said, "Ever since we were captured by the powerful warriors of the Gu Xilong Family in the Sealed Spirit Jade Realm, we have been wandering outside …" He began to narrate his experience along the way, which was equally thrilling and arduous.

He also briefly introduced Qi Wuzhen's background. Halech's scalp went numb with fear. This person was too, and he knew that the Great Xilong Great Xilong Spirit Xilong Sea was. He knew the Great Hidden Castle very well. Its defense was quite strong.

Speaking of Qi Wuzhen, Guo Shi 'er admired him from the bottom of his heart. This was the first time he had seen Qi Wuzhen's strength in his three lives.

Guo Shier said, "Master, you destroyed the teleportation formation in the Ancient Xi Long Continent. How can we go back?"

Luo Jie asked, "Can the ancient Hirong family's teleportation formation connect to where we are?"

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "Back then, we came here through the Gu Hirong family's teleportation array. Along the way … we didn't have the coordinates. In this region, we ran to countless places, but we couldn't find the way back. We originally wanted to use the Gu Hirong family's teleportation array, but now … we're in trouble."

Wang Ke'er said, "If you can't do it, let Sister Zhen send you off again."

Guo Shier didn't want Qi Wuzhen to send him back. He didn't want to trouble Qi Wuzhen again. If it weren't for her, Master and Grandpa Nanshan would have been finished.

He sighed and said, "If it really doesn't work, then I'll have to trouble Sister Zhen."

More than half of the coordinates had been connected in the Great World Crossing Talisman, but the coordinates of his home continent and the secret realm were still independent. There was no coordinate that could lead him home.

Falconer asked, "Old man, do you have the coordinates to go back?"

Luo Jie smiled bitterly. "I only have an ordinary talisman gate. I don't even have a Trans-Boundary Talisman. How can I go back?"

Qi Nanshan spread his hands. "Don't look at me. My talisman gate is even worse."

Guo Shier said, "Alright, I admit it. I really want to go back. Fine, I'll go ask Sister Zhen for help." At this point, he had to ask for help. Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to walk to find his home. It was very likely that he would get lost again. He hated getting lost.

Everyone chatted for a while. Guo Shier had a question in his heart. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, didn't you need a lot of materials to advance?"

Falconer said, "Yes, when we advanced, I don't know how much effort Shier put into searching for all the materials we could use."

Luo Jie smiled. "We are completely different from ordinary Adepts. We can turn the other's altar into our own, absorb and divide the other's altar, extract the useful materials, and discard the useless. Hehe, so … we don't need to search for too many materials."

Guo Shier looked speechlessly at the two. A moment later, he said, "There's such a good thing?"

Qi Nanshan said, "This has a great drawback. If we do not kill a suitable Altar Adept, we will be stuck at a certain point. Also, Altar Level experts are not so easy to kill."

The characteristic of Soul Altar Adepts could be described in two simple words. That was robbery. Whether it was the soul or the altar, they relied on robbery. That was why they could advance so quickly. The Black Symbol People became the public enemy of all Adepts.

Of course, once the Black Symbol People reached Altar Level, no family or sect would provoke them unless it was absolutely necessary. Because of this, they would suffer great losses and suffer great casualties.

Guo Shier felt a myriad of emotions. He had always felt that the Black Symbol People did not suit him. While he had been a soldier and killed people in his previous life, he still could not like such a predatory profession. Because Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan were his family, he did not reject the profession of Black Symbol People.

… …

Ten days later, Guo Shier went up the mountain and flew onto Qi Wuzhen's altar. Then he started to silently chant sutras. In these ten days, he had been helping Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan adjust and cleanse their souls at the bottom of the mountain. Only then did he discover that their souls were on the verge of collapse. He was shocked. He didn't know how many experts Master and Grandpa Nanshan had killed, how many souls they had consumed to reach this level.

When the souls started to ripple, Qi Wuzhen's face showed a trace of comfort.

For the Thousand Layers Harmonic Flame, Qi Wuzhen had not hesitated to pay any price. Not only had he used up most of the materials, he had even used up a small portion of his soul. His soul was slightly chaotic, but after being cleansed by Guo Shier's soul ripples, he immediately felt much better.

About an hour later, Guo Shier stopped chanting. Qi Wuzhen let out a long breath and sighed. "Shier, sometimes I really want to take you away like this."

Guo Shier's forehead was filled with black lines. He wasn't a commodity, could he be taken away? He smiled and said, "Sister Zhen, it's a pity that I have to return to my hometown. Otherwise, I could travel with Sister Zhen." The greatest benefit of being with Qi Wuzhen was safety. With her by his side, nothing was taboo. Secondly, Qi Wuzhen knew many things. It would be much easier for him to advance by her side.

Qi Wuzhen shook her head slightly and said, "You can't stay in your hometown for too long. Otherwise … it would be difficult for you to improve further. Any high-level professional has to travel outside to gain experience. Only then can they truly grow."

Guo Shier nodded. "I didn't really understand it before, but after coming out this time … Indeed, professionals have to travel outside. It's useless to stay at home." He agreed with this point. Before coming out, he had never thought that he could become a three-tiered altar professional. Even in an ancient family, he would be an amazing existence.

Qi Wuzhen said, "If I can break away from the shackles of this world and go to the Sacrificial Stars, perhaps … I can still improve."

Sacrificial Stars.

Guo Shier was very interested in the Sacrificial Stars. He felt that it was the true universe. Perhaps it was related to Earth in his previous life. There were many things he didn't understand about this world. Whether it was the continents, the Arcana Realm, or the Yamata Heaven, he didn't understand how they were formed and how they developed.

He said, "Yes, I also want to go to the Sacrificial Stars."

Qi Wuzhen looked at the sky with a gentle smile on his face and said, "That is a legend … If the people of our world can rush out, that would be a vast world. I can't imagine what kind of world that would be."

Guo Shier didn't dare to look at Qi Wuzhen's face. He knew how lethal this woman's face was. Even if he didn't have any romantic feelings for Qi Wuzhen, he didn't dare to look at her face. This woman was born to be a man's killer, whether it was in terms of spirit or body.

Qi Wuzhen slowly closed her beautiful eyes and said, "Luckily … luckily I met you. If it wasn't for your soul fluctuation, I would have sunk into the abyss of my soul forever!" Then she said softly, "Thank you, Shier."

Guo Shier smiled and said, "Sister Zhen, this is your luck. It is also my luck. If you killed us as soon as we met, we would have sunk into the abyss of our souls."

Qi Wuzhen nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, I was on the verge of collapse, just like your master. Hehe, if I found you at the beginning, I would have been miserable …"

Guo Shier said, "Actually, we were the first to find you. Sister Zhen, you may not believe it, but we were at the bottom of the Red Gold Mountain Range. We were scared by your awakened soul and fled for our lives. Hehe, it's really interesting to think about it. In the end, we actually became friends."

Qi Wuzhen opened her eyes and said in surprise, "Hey, you guys were able to escape. It's really unbelievable. That was when my soul was at its strongest, and also when I couldn't control it at all … Uh, could it be that you guys woke me up?"

Guo Shier shook his head and said, "I don't know. At that time, I felt this soul pressure … It was extremely terrifying. Well, fortunately, I have a high level of attainment in escaping. Haha, so I was lucky enough to escape."

Qi Wuzhen said, "That's because I didn't notice …"

Guo Shier couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought, "In order to not attract your attention, I was like a mouse. I was scared to death by you. How would I dare to show my head …"

Qi Wuzhen said, "Well, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Guo Shier asked, "What is it?"
