"What is the old man trying to do?" Zhong Yue calmed himself down and asked.
The human race was in a terrible situation. The Great Wilderness was the last place for the humans on this planet with dignity. The Swords Gate that protected the Great Wilderness was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
The human race was lacking in manpower, the Feng, Fang, Lei, Jun, and Qiu Elemental Innate Bodies had yet to grow to the point where they could stand on their own. The headmaster was getting old, and there were spies from the celestial race and the human race, as well as Tian Myriad Mother. The Devil Soul Forbidden Land beneath the Swords Gate was on the brink of destruction!
As the headmaster of the Swords Gate, what could the old man do to turn the tide?
"You will know when the time comes. You are still too weak now, knowing too much will only be detrimental to you."
Gu Hongzi smiled and said, "The reason I met with you is to tell you that if the worst happens in the future, you must be prepared for it as soon as possible. If it doesn't happen, it will be good. But if it does, the Gu Xia City will become the last land of the human race! "
Zhong Yue nodded silently.
The Swords Gate's Five Elemental Innate Bodies appeared too late, and the other Qi Practitioners were too weak to grow to the level of magnates. It would already be amazing if they could reach the level of elders.
This was also one of the sorrows of the Swords Gate. When the old Sword God was still in his prime, there were no talented disciples that appeared, which caused him to be unable to groom a successor. When he grew old, the Five Elemental Innate Bodies appeared one after another, but it was already too late for him to see them grow.
Gu Hongzi murmured, "The old man has been working very hard, trying to live one more day so that he can see the Five Elemental Innate Bodies grow into magnates. But he can't hold on any longer …."
Zhong Yue remained silent.
"You are now Shi Buyi's disciple, your name in the monster race is well-known, I will give you more land. If I survive, I will fight for the position of the saint city lord of the monster race. You and I will be in charge of the monster race, one of us will be in charge of the monster race and the other will be in charge of the gate of the monster race! "
Zhong Yue returned to the Falcon Ridge Master Temple, and not long later, Gu Hongzi gave the order to assign the three thousand miles of land to Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue immediately gathered all the Qi Practitioners in the land and built altars, erected totem pillars, and left the Xiang Dragon totem for the humans in the land to worship.
"I promised Ao Fenglou that I will give forty percent of my land to the dragon race. "I promised Ao Fenglou, I will give forty percent of my land to the dragon race.
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes as he thought, Gu Xia City is the base for the monster race to invade the Great Wilderness, and if the old man really went there, the Swords Gate would be in chaos, and the monsters would definitely pass through here. Then, we can let the dragon race in, and we can use the strength of the dragon race to defend against the monsters!
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes, "Gu Xia City is the first base for the monster race to invade the Great Wilderness, and if the old man really died, the Swords Gate would be in chaos. The monsters would definitely pass through here, and with the help of the dragon race, they would be able to cultivate into Qi Practitioners!"
During this period of time, the four young ladies' cultivation base had been improving at an incredible rate. After all, they had a strong foundation and a high starting point. After a period of cultivation, they were able to awaken the spirituality of the spirit herbs in their bodies. In addition to the moon spirit visualization that Zhong Yue taught them, their souls were now extremely strong and resilient. Not long after, they would be able to sense the spirit and become Qi Practitioners.
Zhong Yue met Xin Huo, and it only took him half a year to become a Qi Practitioner, the four girls were not any slower than him.
"Should I let them cultivate the spirit of the monster race or the human race?"
Zhong Yue pondered, whether it was the human race or the monster race, the spirit was in the form of the gods, there were the natural gods, and there were the postnate gods. Many of the human tribes had their own totem spirits, and so did the monster clans.
It was impossible for the four girls to cultivate the spirit on the moon or the sun, these two paths had been cut off.
"Hmm, I will activate the totem pillar that Ao Fenglou gave me. When the dragon race arrives, I will ask Ao Fenglou to do me a favor and bring them to the dragon race to cultivate the spirit!"
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes, he activated the totem pillar and handed it over to the four girls, instructing them to hand over the remaining land to the dragon race if there were any dragon race visitors.
"It will probably be one or two months before the dragon race's messenger arrives, I should make a trip back to Swords Gate and prepare for my breakthrough into the Awakening level!"
After Zhong Yue was done, he immediately activated the plum tree that had been nourishing his soul for a long time and cast the 【Li Substitute Tao Jiang】, replacing himself with the plum tree. With the plum tree, even if he used the soul lantern to track his location, he would only be able to sense the plum tree's location and not his real body.
"I wonder what has happened in Swords Gate since I left for so long? After all, the incident of me killing Xiao Chuqing has caused quite a stir …. "
He walked out of the territory of Gu Xia City, entered the Savanna Wasteland, changed back to his original appearance and headed back to the Great Wilderness.
Not long after he left, Gu Hongzi sent someone to invite Zhong Yue over. After knowing that Zhong Yue had left the master temple, Gu Hongzi frowned and thought, This brat is really a rabbit that doesn't know how to stay in its nest. He just came back for a few days and he left again, could it be that he has returned to Swords Gate? I forgot to tell him that Swords Gate has been arguing with the Xiao Mang Celestial Race for months because of Xiao Chuqing's death. But this has nothing to do with him, right? It shouldn't be a problem for him to return ….
Five to six days later, Zhong Yue returned to Swords Gate of the Great Wilderness. He had been in the monster race for the past few days, experiencing the thrilling battles and battles. Only when he returned to Swords Gate did he finally relax and thought, After all, this is my home, I can only be at ease when I'm home!
Swords Gate gave him a strong sense of belonging that no other place could replace. Even though he had established his foundation in Gu Xia City, even though he was the closed door disciple of the monster saint city lord, Shi Buyi, Zhong Yue did not have any sense of belonging to the monster race.
"Huh? Why is the Swords Gate Mountain filled with killing intent? Why is it filled with killing intent? "
Zhong Yue walked up to the Swords Gate Mountain, he squinted his eyes and looked up at the sword-shaped mountain. He could feel that the aura of Swords Gate was different from when he first left. When he first left, the Swords Gate Mountain was majestic and heavy, but now, there was a hint of killing intent.
Ordinary people would not be able to sense the aura of the mountain, but the Qi Practitioners with their keen senses would be able to detect many things that ordinary people could not.
"The killing intent is not coming from the Swords Gate Mountain, but from the Qi Practitioners in the mountain. Did something big happen after I left?"
Zhong Yue came to the cliff in front of the inner gate, a white crane flew over and carried him to the other side of the cliff. Zhong Yue stood on the back of the crane and asked curiously, "Tao He 'er, what happened in Swords Gate recently?"
"Little Brother Zhong, you must have left the mountain to travel?"
The white crane said crisply, "Something big has happened recently. A few months ago, the girl with the Spirit of the Moon Body, Xiao Chuqing, was killed by someone! It's such a pity that she died outside of the Great Wilderness! Then, the Qi Practitioners of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race came to cause a ruckus. There were a lot of celestials with weird appearances. They were carried up the mountain by the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. These fellows were old and heavy, their faces were as black as iron eggs …. "
Zhong Yue coughed and said, "Tao He 'er, just get to the point."
"Those celestials came over and said that Xiao Chuqing died not long after joining the Swords Gate. Swords Gate must give the Xiao Mang Celestial Race an explanation, or else, they would have to cede their lands and compensate the humans."
Tao He 'er said quickly, "Grand Elder Yu disagreed, he said that Xiao Chuqing had left the Great Wilderness without permission, she was not in the human's territory, her safety was not under the Swords Gate's control. The celestials were furious, and so they fought. The celestial messengers didn't take advantage of the situation, and then, the celestial race's elder priest came with the priests and elders. They were old and heavy, they asked me to carry them up the mountain to reason with Grand Elder Yu and the others.
Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's elder priest also came!
The elder priest was the leader of the celestial race's celestial temple, he was on the same level as the Swords Gate headmaster!
It seemed like Xiao Chuqing's death had caused quite a commotion!
And this commotion was caused by him killing Xiao Chuqing. Zhong Yue couldn't help but worry, he was worried that his actions would bring disaster to the Swords Gate.
"And then?" Zhong Yue calmed himself down and asked.
"Then, Elder Shui Zian left the Swords Gate and went to the West Barren. He invited a few other celestial race's elder priests to mediate the situation. Elder Shui is really influential, he invited a few tall and strong celestial race's high priests, some with one eye and some with many eyes. The Xiao Mang Celestial Race's high priests didn't dare to make any moves, they decided to fight one on one, and then, they started fighting again. "
Zhong Yue was startled, he exclaimed involuntarily, "Even the headmaster level presences were invited by Elder Shui?"
"Grand Elder Yu said that Elder Shui has a wide network of connections, he's well-versed in dealing with people, and he's very skillful in dealing with people. It's just that the celestial race that he invited were too heavy, they couldn't even fly. "
Tao He 'er continued, "This time, he said that if Swords Gate lost, they would have to give up their land and a hundred thousand people in the Great Wilderness."
"And then?" Zhong Yue quickly asked.
"And then, they started fighting." Tao He 'er said.
Zhong Yue blinked his eyes, he couldn't help but say, "He 'er, you haven't told us the result yet!"
"The result is not out yet, what do you mean?"
Tao He 'er smiled and said, "The mediator invited by Elder Shui said that as the elders, we shouldn't fight each other to avoid harming the harmony between the two sides. So, it's better for the disciples to fight each other. If they lose the Great Wilderness, they will have to give up their land and if they win, then the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will have to admit their bad luck. After all, Xiao Chuqing isn't a pureblood celestial, there's no need for them to fight. The senior martial brothers of the inner hall have been rubbing their palms together, taking turns to challenge the Dragon and Tiger Challenger Board. They are all fighting for the first place in the Dragon and Tiger Challenger Board so that they can go to the West Barren to fight with the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. If it weren't for my duty, I would've gone there to watch the fun. "
Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, he walked to the inner hall and took out the spirit herbs gifted by the monster messenger, he smiled and said, "He 'er, you asked me to give you some pointers, I've never forgotten it. These are the spirit herbs I got from my travels, I'll give them to you. "
Tao He 'er was surprised and overjoyed, she could feel the spirituality of these spirit herbs, they would definitely be beneficial to her cultivation. She quickly thanked Zhong Yue and flew into the clouds with the spirit herbs in her mouth.
How could the gifts given by the major forces be ordinary? Zhong Yue left Xian Kong Saint City and brought all the spiritual treasures with him, relying on these spirit herbs to sustain his life. The spirit herbs he gave to Tao He 'er were all a few hundred years old, they contained a strong spirituality, they were rare even in Swords Gate, how could Tao He' er not be happy?
She had been in charge of the cliff for a few days and this was the first time an inner hall disciple gave her a spirit herb, and it was such a high grade spirit herb!
