Lu Zhou flew past the rocky peak at a steady pace.
"The faster I am, the easier it is to attract attention … The ones I really need to be wary of are those highly intelligent Ferocious Beasts, such as Beast Emperors. Too strong a fluctuation of Primal Qi will attract trouble, "Lu Zhou said.
Lan Xihe nodded and said,
"I didn't expect Pavilion Master Lu to not only have a high cultivation base, but also have more experience than me. I've learned a lot."
The light in front of them was even dimmer. The brilliance of the sun was like a gloomy, rainy sky in a normal environment. Visibility was extremely poor.
The thick fog above made it impossible to see anything. It was as if a giant dragon that could swallow the heavens could appear at any moment, shocking everyone. There were stone peaks that pierced through the clouds everywhere. Occasionally, a group of giant beasts would pass by.
Lan Xihe and Lu Zhou landed on an ancient tree. They looked down at the basin-like dark zone before them. The scene before them left them speechless.
"Lili." Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
"These Lilis might not be the same Lilis that appeared in Great Tang. There were a lot of Lili nests in this unknown place. Their reproductive ability was extremely strong, and their numbers were huge. Their power of decay was too terrifying. The plants in the Unknown Lands were more resistant, but it was still difficult for them to resist their erosion. As time went by, Lili would be pushed aside by the other beasts as well. This is one of their nests. "Lan Xi explained.
Lu Zhou felt his scalp tingle when he saw the densely packed Lilis.
"Will Lu Wu be nearby?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
Lan Xihe shook his head and said, "This is the deepest place I've reached. If I go any further, I won't know anything. Moreover, there's only one route. The Unknown Lands are simply too vast. What I've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. "
Woo —
A low whimper came from the horizon.
The two of them looked up.
Amidst the thin fog, a fierce beast flapped its wings like the canopy of the sky and slowly flew past.
That pair of wings, like a devil ray in the ocean, was enough to cover their vision.
"Shh." Lan Xihe raised her hand and placed it vertically in front of her lips. Her hand was soft and her fingers were like green onions … The dignified Tower Master of the White Tower making such an action was indeed a little unexpected.
The ferocious beast's tail was a thousand feet long and glowed with a strange light … Not long after, it disappeared into the horizon.
"I've always been searching for the secrets of the world's shackles and probing into the nature of the unknown lands. There were times when I wanted to go deep into the mist. Unfortunately, these ferocious beasts are too powerful, "said Lan Xihe.
Lu Zhou said, "Fortunately, you didn't do that. We're still far from the central region …"
The scene of Ji Tiandao retrieving the Taixu Seed appeared in his mind. The scene was similar to the scene in front of him, but it was much darker.
"Perhaps," Lan Xihe said.
"You're one of the survivors who participated in the Great Void Plan. Where did you find the blue crystal?" Lu Zhou asked.
Lan Xihe said, "Three hundred years ago, there was a large-scale migration of ferocious beasts on land and sea. Human cultivators banded together and took the opportunity to venture deep into the Great Void. They lost many cultivators along the way before arriving at an unknown place. No one knows if that place is the core region. The appearance of the Great Void seed should be …"
"Did you bring me here for this?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Of course not."
Lan Xihe changed the topic and said, "Pavilion Master Lu's disciple possesses the Great Void Seed … I would like to ask how Pavilion Master Lu obtained this seed?"
Lu Zhou turned around and faced Lan Xihe. His gaze was deep and spirited.
Lan Xihe smiled apologetically and added, "Don't misunderstand. I have the aura of the Great Void. I can't defy the heavens and change my fate."
The wind blew past their ears, making the unknown land even colder. However, both of them were cultivators with profound cultivation bases. They were not afraid of the cold.
"Look."
Lan Xihe pointed at the sky.
The mist was like the mist that rose from the surface of a still water surface in winter. It moved rhythmically, sometimes in one direction, and sometimes in another.
In the unknown land, all the still mist gradually floated upwards and into the sky.
The mist was rich with vitality and pure Primal Qi. However, there was also an unbearably foul and decaying aura.
Lan Xihe said indifferently, "If it's possible, I hope you'll be able to uncover the secrets of the unknown land one day, Pavilion Master Lu."
Lu Zhou looked away.
He was no longer looking at the beautiful and ever-changing sky.
It was too depressing.
Buzz!
The familiar sound of energy resonating rang in the distance.
A huge green astrolabe shot past Shi Fenglin. In just a blink of an eye, it vanished from sight.
"Someone's here."
Lan Xihe and Lu Zhou worked well together. With a flash, they descended 100 meters and landed on the ancient tree.
The lush leaves covered the two of them. Lu Zhou waved his hand. The power of the Purple Glazed Ceramic surged out and formed an isolated space. All auras in the surroundings, including Primal Qi, vitality, and the power of decay, were kept out.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The ferocious beast that looked like a devil ray swooped down, and a huge green lotus quickly swept past.
There was a flash, and the green lotus disappeared.
"Woo!"
The beast shrieked and disappeared into the mist.
"Don't give chase. The mission is more important. The unknown land is very dangerous. With such a huge commotion, we'll be in trouble if the beasts come. "
The two cultivators stopped moving and appeared on a huge rock 300 meters in front of the ancient tree.
Their vision was poor. They could only see their shadows.
"It's good enough that we found the Mystic Life Herb."
"This thing is too rare. We've only found three after searching for so long," one of the cultivators said self-deprecatingly.
"The Mystic Life Herb is the key to restoring one's Fate Chart. We'll need to find more. Let's be careful and not alarm the beasts."
The two cultivators nodded.
Their figures flashed and vanished. When they reappeared, they were only dozens of meters away.
For cultivators, this distance was as good as face-to-face.
The two cultivators looked down at the basin and exclaimed in shock.
"Lili's lair."
"No … Someone was here," the other cultivator said with a frown.
The cultivator's nose twitched.
Lu Zhou's heart stirred slightly. He knew this person had the power of an olfactory Fate Chart.
The cultivator continued to say, "Could it be someone from the Qin Family?"
"It's possible. I heard that one of the Qin Family's Young Master's Fate Charts was taken. They might be here for the Mystic Life Herb. "
"The Qin Family's Young Master is used to being domineering. He didn't know which big shot did it, but it was really satisfying. Moreover, one of the four ghostly servants is dead. They claimed that it was killed by a beast. They think no one knows about it. "
"Wait."
The cultivator's nose twitched again.
He turned around slowly as his nose twitched again.
It was hundreds or thousands of times harder to conceal a scent than an aura. Even after death, the scent would remain.
Wherever one walked, the scent would remain.
The two cultivators looked in the direction of the ancient tree where Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe were.
They could not sense any aura, but the scent in the air told them that someone was nearby.
"There's a faint floral fragrance. It should be a woman. The other is the slightly sour stench of sweat … It should be a man …"
Lu Zhou frowned.
He lifted his sleeve and sniffed. There was no stench.
Cultivators could abstain from eating for a long time without sweating. There was no such thing. On second thought, he guessed it might be the impurities that were expelled from his body when he activated his second avatar.
"Come on out, both of you."
