It was absolutely quiet. Time didn't pass, and there were no lights or shadows. It was extremely quiet in the pitch-black void.
It felt like a moment, but also like ten lifetimes. This strange journey was finally over, and people could feel the flow of time.
The void split open, and the Highest Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land walked out, followed by several young disciples. They stood respectfully aside.
He waved his sleeve, and a gray fog filled the air. Thousands of people fell to the ground and got out of his wide sleeve.
Were they in the Northern Region? Everyone was both nervous and expectant.
Ye Fan was a little excited. Finally, they had come to the other side of the Eastern Continent. A brand new life was about to begin. What kind of place was this?
Looking around, it was completely different from what he had imagined. There were no flowers, no bustling crowds, and no vibrant plants.
The land was desolate. The soil was red, and the rocks were reddish-brown. It was bleak and lonely.
The boundless land was extremely empty. There was no sign of life at all. Only some bare stone mountains dotted the horizon.
It was a barren land without any signs of life. There was no sign of life at all. It was lifeless.
"This is the Northern Region? Didn't they say that this place was full of gold and pearls? "
"Not to mention people, I can't even see a blade of grass. What kind of place is this?"
"We have to collect Origin Source here for ten years before we can go back to the Southern Region … Oh my god!"
At this moment, thousands of people were dumbfounded. This cold and bitter place that resembled the Gobi gave rise to a bad feeling in everyone's hearts.
The Highest Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land frowned and said, "Didn't the school that sent you here tell you what kind of place this is?"
"It's completely different from what they said. We didn't expect it to be like this. This is a place where even wild birds won't land."
"The Northern Region has always been like this …" The Highest Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land said calmly.
The Northern Region was boundless and famous for its Origin Source Mines.
Compared to the vast land, this place was sparsely populated. There were no signs of human habitation within thousands of miles. Most of the places were barren.
Success came from the Origin Source, and failure also came from the Origin Source. This mysterious substance condensed the essence of life and seemed to have sucked up all the Spiritual Qi in the entire Northern Region.
It was difficult for the words' outstanding people and prosperous land 'to have anything to do with the Northern Region.
There were also oases in the Northern Region, but compared to the boundless land, they were really insignificant.
This place was rich in Origin Energy, so the people here did not have to worry about food and clothing. However, it was also because of Origin Energy that battles to the death often broke out. The people here were fierce and often fought over Origin Ores.
Therefore, when the Great Sage dug the Origin Source Mines in the Northern Region, they mostly brought people from their own regions.
The Origin Source was as precious to cultivators as gold was to mortals. As a result, there were bandits everywhere. Not only the locals, but also forces from all over the Eastern Barren Territory.
Not only the locals, but there were also other forces in the Origin Source Mines.
Generally, the Origin Source Mines was chaotic.
This barren land was famous because of the Origin, and it was destined to be chaotic and bloody.
The Highest Elder of the Wavering Light Holy Land walked forward, leaving a series of footprints on the red ground. The sound of wind and thunder could be heard. Suddenly, his figure disappeared ahead.
The Grand Elder of the Wavering Light Sacred Land walked forward, leaving behind a series of footprints on the ground. There were sounds of wind and thunder. Suddenly, his figure disappeared.
The ground shook. The mountains and rivers seemed to be moving. Thousands of people couldn't stand still. Many fell to the ground, their faces filled with terror.
This area was covered in profound Dao patterns. It gathered the power of the mountains and rivers, protecting the Origin Source region of the Wavering Light Sacred Land.
The thousands of mortals, whether they were willing or not, had no choice after coming to the Northern Region. They could only hope that the ten years would pass quickly and they would earn enough money to return to the Southern Region to enjoy the wealth they had exchanged for ten years of youth.
With so many people coming, accommodation and food were all problems. However, there were people specially arranged for them. The Grand Elder of the Wavering Light Sacred Land disappeared after arriving.
The Northern Region had endless mining areas, but in terms of production, it was the area around the Origin Ancient Mine. With it as the center, the area within a hundred thousand miles was divided equally among the Great Sage's lands.
The Origin Ancient Mine was one of the seven forbidden areas of the Eastern Wasteland. It was in the deepest part of this area and was surrounded by the Great Sage's lands. However, no one dared to explore it.
Countless years ago, too many inauspicious things had happened in the Origin Ancient Mine. One Saint Lord after another went and never returned. No one dared to have any ideas about it.
That place became the legendary Nightmare Earth …
In the Northern Region, the Origin Ancient Mine was the most mysterious and terrifying, but if one didn't provoke it, there wouldn't be any disasters.
For the Sacred Land, the greatest danger was those bandits.
The Northern Region was a place where the people were fierce and bandits were everywhere. Blood was shed every day. It was truly a chaotic place.
Powerful bandits came from all over the Eastern Wasteland. There were even wanderers from the Central Plains and the Northern Desert. They had all come for the Origin Source, forming a terrifying force.
Even the Sacred Land couldn't sit back and relax. Their Origin Source region was also in danger of being robbed.
This wasn't an exaggeration. Some bandits were extremely terrifying. Their strength was comparable to the Grand Elders of the Sacred Land. They came and went without a trace and were very difficult to capture.
In the Northern Region, there were 13 most famous bandits. They each led a group of powerful warriors and seriously threatened the safety of the Sacred Land's Origin Area.
The Great Sage's Land had encircled and suppressed them many times, but they all ended in failure. The 13 bandits fled after one attack, and it was very difficult to find their traces.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a thunderous sound exploded and shook the sky.
It seemed to be proving that the Northern Region was full of blood and chaos.
Thousands of mortals had just entered the Origin Area of the Yaoguang Sacred Land. The power of heaven and earth condensed by the Dao patterns hadn't gathered yet when a group of Heavenly Soldiers arrived.
There were only 70 to 80 people who had come. Each of them rode on wild beasts with thick scales. Their roars could be heard for dozens of miles, and their killing intent soared.
This was a group of powerful knights. They were surrounded by a bloody aura. It was obvious that they had killed countless people. They had gathered unimaginable killing intent, and there was a bloody light lingering around them.
Thousands of mortals collapsed to the ground on the spot. They were completely stimulated by the killing intent. It was cold to the bone, making them tremble. They couldn't stand on the ground at all.
70 to 80 wild beasts roared, and their iron hooves shattered the sky. They all rushed in. In the center, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He was sitting on a Zouwu Beast. His iron clothes flickered, and he looked very heroic.
There were 18 flags on his back. They fluttered in the wind as if they could shatter the world. Each flag was as red as blood, and their killing intent soared to the sky. It was as if they had drunk the blood of countless creatures.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
He threw the three blood-colored flags towards the ground. The flagpoles pierced into the ground like pillars that supported the heavens. His imposing manner was unfathomable. The flags swayed and clanging sounds rang out. Blood light soared into the sky.
The Dao patterns on the ground suddenly lost their effectiveness. The power of heaven and earth stopped moving, and it couldn't cover this place. All of this was because of the three blood-colored flags.
"Kill!"
These knights were all incomparably powerful. They were like heavenly generals with unparalleled battle strength. They rode on the beasts like a flood of steel, and the sky rumbled.
"Who dares to break into the Yaoguang Forbidden Ground?"
The cultivators of the Yaoguang Sacred Land all flew up to the sky and blocked their way. The leaders were three old men with white hair and beards, and their eyes were sharp like lightning.
"I, Jiang Yi, am here. Who dares to stop me?!" The middle-aged man in the center riding on the Zouwu Beast had a cold iron outfit, and 15 blood-colored flags were stuck on his back, bursting out a horrifying energy like an ocean.
He pulled out a flag and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. People couldn't follow his speed with their eyes; they could only see a blur.
"The Ninth Bandit, Jiang Yi?!" The cultivators of the Yaoguang Sacred Land were shocked. The three old men's expressions changed, and they took out their weapons to stop him.
However, this legendary bandit was extremely brave; they couldn't stop him at all.
The blood-colored flag shook violently. More than a dozen cultivators behind the three old men of the Yaoguang Sacred Land all screamed in pain, and they were killed on the spot.
Beams of bloody light gathered toward the flag, and more than a dozen dead bodies fell from the sky.
"Jiang Yi, you are from the Clan of the Remote Antiquity. Why are you so violent?!" The three old men shouted.
"You don't have the right to ask!" Jiang Yi rode his beast, and the roar of the Zouwu Beast shook the mountains and rivers. The blood-colored flag in his hand pierced forward like a long spear.
The three old men joined hands to resist. One of them took out a treasured pestle that was as big as a mountain, and it emitted a godly light as it pressed down.
"Crack!"
The blood-colored flag was indestructible. The pole of the flag was like the sharpest spear, and it hit the mountain-sized pestle, shattering it on the spot.
"This …" The old man quickly retreated, leaving a blur behind.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be compared to Jiang Yi's speed. The blood-colored flag stabbed forward, and it pierced through the air, directly piercing through the legendary cultivator.
"Bang!"
Jiang Yi shook his hand, and the old man who was stuck in the flag was shattered into pieces. A few beams of bloody light entered the flag.
"You …" Everything happened so fast that the two old men didn't even have time to stop it.
"Go and accompany him!" Jiang Yi waved the flag, and the blood-colored flag fluttered in the wind.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The two legendary cultivators collapsed on the spot. They couldn't resist at all!
This was a shocking scene. Jiang Yi was unstoppable, and his great flag suppressed the sky.
The Zouwu Beast he sat on raised its head and roared. The sky shook, and killing intent filled the air.
"The ninth great bandit — Jiang Yi!" Two supreme elders rushed over from the distance. One of them was the old man who crossed the void and brought Ye Fan and the others here.
"You are a direct descendant of the Huanggu family, but you are willing to fall and become a great bandit. Why is that?!" A supreme elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land shouted.
"After my big brother Jiang Zhe left the Jiang family, I completely separated myself from the family. Don't mention this identity in front of me again!" Jiang Yi's tiger eyes released cold light.
"We don't care what happens between you and the Jiang family. Why did you plunder the Yaoguang Holy Land's Source area?"
"What a joke!" Jiang Yi sneered and said, "The Source area outside the Origin Ancient Mine should belong to the people of the Northern Region. What right do you have to occupy it?!"
Ye Fan was shocked. He was not unfamiliar with the name Jiang Zhe. He was a genius of the Jiang family, but for some unknown reason, he left the Jiang family and died in a foreign land. Little Tingting was his descendant.
"Bang!"
A blood-colored flag fell and stuck into the ground. It suddenly expanded like an ancient tree reaching the sky. It was hundreds of zhang tall, and thousands of mortals were covered in a bloody light.
"I don't want to hurt the innocent. You two old things can come!" The ninth bandit, Jiang Yi, waved his hand at the riders behind him and said, "You guys go get the Source. I will stop these two old things."
The 14 blood-colored flags behind him all rose into the sky, like pillars supporting the sky. They covered the two supreme elders of the Yaoguang Holy Land.
Behind them, dozens of cavalry roared past like a flood, shaking the sky.
Ye Fan found it hard to calm down. The Origin Ancient Mine, the 13 great bandits, the Jiang family, and the Jade Lake Holy Land seemed to be very close …
