In the Camel Mountain Corridor of the Western Desolate Domain, a convoy of carriages was trudging along the snow-covered cliff path. One? Reading a book?
This group of people were mostly wrapped in thick python skin, revealing only their faces and necks. They were riding on red-backed demon antelopes. These large goats were tall and strong, with clouds and smoke curling under their hooves. However, their eyes were blood-red and flashed fiercely. They looked frightening, but in fact, they were the most docile. They crossed mountains as if they were walking on flat ground.
A year ago, the Heavenly Ghost King, Feng Zhe, issued an edict for the settlement meeting. After receiving the news, the chiefs of the thousands of clans scattered in the Western Desolate Domain rushed to the Ancestral Land with their trusted clansmen.
Each tribe could use cloud whales to escape here, but to truly reach the ancestral land, it would still take several months on foot.
It wasn't that they didn't want to fly, but there was a chaotic magnetic force around the Shocking Sky Mountain where the ancestral land was. If they didn't wear an artifact called "Xiong Jin", they couldn't fly in the sky.
The old man at the front of the caravan inadvertently glanced around and suddenly saw a touch of green at the corner of the cliff. He immediately reached out and stopped the caravan. He got off the back of the demon antelope alone, pushed aside the rocks, and pulled out a long, dark green grass.
"It's the White Gazing Grass!" He was very excited, and turned around and said, "Tell the clansmen that after crossing this mountain, they will reach the ancestral land. “
As this news spread, waves of cheers came from the long caravan.
And in the middle of the caravan, a tall and thin man also smiled like everyone else. This person's eyes were full of spirit, and the power of Qi and blood surged from his body. He was full of confidence and experience.
This was the clan leader's younger brother, Lu Duliang. To those familiar with him, he was no different from usual, but no one knew that this body had actually been invaded by the Heavenly Demon from beyond the heavens.
Sima Quan smiled insincerely as he looked around.
After he was ordered to infiltrate the Western Sky Absolute Region, he had tried to infiltrate the ancestral land of the Heavenly Ghost Tribe in the past few years. However, the chaotic magnetic force here had caused some obstacles for him. Because his magic power had not fully recovered, the Heavenly Demon Avatar had stayed here for a long time. This meant that he had to attach himself to someone else in order to pass through this place.
However, there was still a problem here. The Heavenly Ghost Ancestral Land was usually isolated from the outside world. The only way to communicate with the outside world was to send out emissaries. As for the other tribes, unless they received orders, they were not allowed to enter at will. If it wasn't for this meeting, he would have sneaked in. I'm afraid I'll have to find another way.
The clan he was hiding in was called the Ludu Clan, and it was originally located in the east of the Absolute Region. It possessed a solid foundation, and it could be considered to be a large clan even if it was placed amongst the tens of thousands of clans.
The owner of this body had quite a high status in this tribe, enough to enter the great meeting of the tribe. Even if an accident really happened, as long as they managed to get rid of the tribe leader, they would be able to enter in place of him.
"Elder Liang, the Patriarch has summoned you." A clansman approached and called out respectfully.
Sima Quan waved his hand. He signaled that he understood, then drove the Ghost Antelope to the front of the convoy, bowed slightly to the old leader, and said, "Brother Wang, you called me? “
The old man pulled him to the side and said, "My tribe hasn't stepped into the ancestral land for more than two thousand years. I don't know if the rules inside have changed. I need you to go in first. It won't be too late for the rest of us to enter the mountain after finding out the situation."
Sima Quan understood the old man's cautiousness and doubts. The various clans had been separated from the Ancestral Division for a long time. Nominally, they respected the Ancestral Division, but in reality, they were already feudal lords. This time, the Ancestral Division used dealing with the cultivators from beyond the heavens as an excuse to summon them for a great meeting. No one knew if they would do something else, so it would be hard for them to feel at ease if they didn't inquire about it first. However, this was exactly what he wanted. Without anyone holding him back, it was convenient for him to make some arrangements. Thus, he readily agreed.
The old man said, "The people of the clan and I will wait here for your news."
Sima Quan said apologetically, "Then I'll have to trouble you to wait for a period of time."
The old man smiled and said, "It's been a year, what's there to be afraid of?" He reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Go, bring along the gift we prepared for White King."
White King referred to the leader of the various clans, the Heavenly Ghost King Yao Zhe. In the ancient legends, the ancestor of the Heavenly Ghost was Bo Bai's son, a guard who guarded the palace. Because Bo Bai slept every hundred thousand years and woke up every hundred thousand years, every time he slept, he would be in charge of the Great Sun. Therefore, the clan leader who controlled the tens of thousands of clans in the Western Sky was called White King. w?
Sima Quan nodded, turned around and called a few of his trusted clansmen, then ran along the mountain path to higher ground. An hour later, a few people climbed over a mountain ridge and arrived in front of a copper palace that stood on the peak of the mountain. This place controlled the only path to the foot of the mountain.
When they arrived here, they could see a vast plain in the distance. On the plain, there was a mountain made of strange red rocks, like a long sword that pierced into the depths of the vault of heaven. It looked like it had the power to reach the clouds, and it was incomparably tall. There were countless green vines and roots entwined around the mountain, and the entire mountain looked like it was made of wood and rock. The thousands of vines that floated outside were like tentacles, wrapping around the floating islands. One could see that there were countless palaces and buildings built on them. Under the push of the chaotic magnetic force, they were slowly moving and moving.
"Which clan did you come from?"
A guard walked out from the copper palace. This person had an arrogant expression and was dressed luxuriously. There were circles of flame light behind his head, illuminating the mountain peak in a crimson red.
Such a scene attracted waves of envy and exclamations from the people below.
"It's the 'Life Opening' supernatural power!"
"I heard that this supernatural power can only be cultivated by the direct bloodline of the ancestral Si Clan. Could this person be a descendant of the Si Clan?"
When Sima Quan was illuminated by the brilliance, he felt his body heat up a little, as if he was seen through from inside out.
Rumor had it that this supernatural power of the other party could change between reality and illusion, and any formless technique would not be able to escape from this supernatural power. This meant that the most powerful life-saving supernatural power of the other clans was useless in front of this person.
However, he was a Heavenly Devil, and what he used was the Art of Attachment. The soul of this body was still preserved, and when necessary, it could be released. There was nothing fake about him, so his expression did not change. He walked forward, put his hands together, and reported his identity.
"Du Clan?"
The guard's expression softened a little, and he said, "Hasn't your clan leader arrived?"
Sima Quan replied, "The clan leader's party was delayed on the way, and I'm afraid it will take a few more days for them to arrive. To avoid delaying the meeting, they sent us here first."
The guard looked at him and seemed to have noticed something, but he did not make things difficult for them. He threw a bronze plate over and said, "This is Xiong Jin. With this, you can fly for three days, enough for you to reach the clan mountain. If you want to use it again, you need to go to the ancestral temple to offer a blood sacrifice."
Sima Quan thanked him and took it. Under the guard's gaze, he cut his wrist and dripped his blood on it.
This item could not be touched unless one had the Qi and blood of the Heavenly Ghost. It was impossible for outsiders to change their appearance and enter. When the guard saw this, the guard's vigilance disappeared. He put his hands together and bowed, then returned to the copper palace.
Sima Quan hung the bronze plate on his body. Now that he could use the Qi and blood that had been suppressed after entering this place again, he let out a shout and swept his trusted subordinates and mounts into the sky, flying in the direction of Shocking Sky Mountain.
After flying for a day, his body felt a little strained, and he landed on a floating island. There was still at least a day's journey to the ancestral mountain. Even with the help of Xiong Jin, his Qi and blood had been greatly depleted under the influence of the chaotic magnetic force.
At this moment, a trusted subordinate came up and said in a low voice, "Elder Liang, those two little people haven't had water and food for a long time."
Sima Quan looked around vigilantly and released his Qi and blood, covering the area in front of him. He then said, "Bring them up."
Not long after, the confidant came back with a wicker basket wrapped in thick fur. He lifted the cloth covering it, and two little heads popped out. They were actually two little girls with skin as white as jade. Their eyes were clear and pure, and they looked obedient. They were very lovable, and the most eye-catching thing was the pair of petite wings on their backs.
These were Outsiders that the Furnace Poison Division had captured from the Murky Azure Sky above the earth. Before this, the natives of the Mountain and Sea Realm had never seen a living creature come out of it. The rarer they were, the more valuable they were, so they were prepared to be presented as a big gift.
Sima Quan, however, had other ideas. These two girls were extremely valuable, and could possibly be related to the secrets of the Murky Azure Sky. He was thinking about how to keep them and send them to the Northern Heaven Frigid Abyss, rather than into the hands of the Heavenly Ghost.
The trusted subordinate came up to feed the two girls some water and food. Suddenly, he heard some movement outside and quickly covered the cloth again. Fortunately, the two girls didn't make a fuss, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Several beams of blood-red light landed on the platform, and then five people walked out. All of them were tall and sturdy. Compared to Sima Quan and the others, they were like children to adults.
The leader came forward and clasped his hands in greeting. "Ju Xian greets everyone. We've been flying for a day, and because we don't have a place to stay, we had no choice but to come and disturb you."
Sima Quan didn't stand up. He sat there and returned the greeting. "So it's Chief Ju. I am Furnace Poison Liang."
"Furnace Poison Liang?"
Ju Xian's body trembled, and his expression became somewhat restrained. After a moment of hesitation, he bowed and said, "I didn't know that you were here …"
Sima Quan interrupted him. "There are still two days to go to the Ancestral Mountain. If we don't accumulate enough blood qi, it will be difficult to get there. Since we've met here, Chief Ju, why don't you sit down and rest with us?"
Ju Xian hesitated for a moment, but still sat down. The two of them chatted for a while, and he found that Sima Quan seemed to be easy to talk to, so he tried to ask, "Does the esteemed one know what this meeting is about?
Sima Quan knew that the Western Sky was vast. Even after a few years, many small tribes might not know about the Northern Cold Abyss, so when he heard Ju Xian's question, he gave a brief explanation.
Ju Xian's face showed a trace of disbelief. He exclaimed, "The Shan Yang Clan was actually destroyed?"
Although the Shanyang Clan was sent to the Northern Freezing Abyss in the early years, there was no doubt that the Shanyang Clan was one of the strongest clans in the Western Desolate Domain. Only the three great clans could be compared to the Shanyang Clan. Even the Furnace Poison Clan could not compare to them.
Sima Quan said, "Although the Shan Yang Clan was destroyed, Gui Zu is still alive. Maybe there will be a day of revival."
Ju Xian nodded in agreement. "What the esteemed one said is correct. It is said that my Heavenly Ghost Tribe has four Gui Zu, and Gui Zu is one of them. Unlike the other three, who only exist in legends, this one has indeed appeared in the world." He hammered his knee again and said, "So this meeting is to deal with those Outer Heavens cultivators. I thought that after thousands of years, they would no longer have any influence. I didn't expect that they would find a loophole this time. But it doesn't matter. Once our tribes gather, it won't be difficult to wipe them out!"
