The northern desolate plains of the Heavenly South Great World spanned millions of kilometers. Everywhere one looked, one could only see a vast desert. It was barren and desolate, making it difficult for birds to traverse it.
Not only were there few desolate beasts in the desolate plains, the Yuan Qi was also extremely barren. It was very difficult for it to produce any natural treasures. Therefore, few warriors would come here.
However, people knew that the most mysterious Nine Li Magus Empire of the Heavenly South Great World was located deep in the desolate plains. It occupied an area that spanned five thousand kilometers.
Over the past few days, there had been groups of warriors and alchemists rushing to the northern desolate plains. They followed a map to find the Nine Li Magus Empire's entrance.
From afar, the Nine Li Magus Empire was located on a divine mountain shrouded in clouds. The entire empire was enveloped by an array formation, as though it was sealed in an alternate dimension.
"That's the Nine Li Magus Empire."
"The Heavenly South Peaks Meet has ended. Yi Yun will likely arrive with Aged Blackrock soon. When that happens, the empire's entrance will naturally open."
At that moment, there were more than ten thousand people gathered outside the empire's entrance. Most of them were alchemists. Many of them had come from afar just to witness the grand event.
The red sun gradually set in the west. Night was about to descend upon the vast wilderness. Aged Blackrock was about to arrive.
At that moment, people heard the faint cry of a phoenix. When they looked up, they saw a golden phoenix that reflected the blood sun as it flew over from the west.
The phoenix appeared to fly slowly but in an instant, it had arrived outside the Nine Li Empire's entrance. The phoenix circled the ground before soaring into the sky. A white-dressed middle-aged man flew down from the phoenix's back.
He looked spirited and his skin was as soft as a baby's. He wore a headband and looked extraordinarily handsome.
Everyone was alarmed when they saw him.
"Western Wilderness Alchemist King — Ouming Yin!"
Someone recognized the person. He was not from the Pillheart Sect but an alchemist sage from the Western Wilderness Great World!
Before Aged Blackrock and the Pillheart Sect arrived, an alchemist sage had arrived.
The appearance of an alchemist sage made many of the alchemy sects present pale in comparison. Many sects had never produced an alchemist sage since their establishment.
People realized that this grand event had stirred a huge stir in the alchemy world. It was far more intense than they had expected.
The sun finally set as a bright moon appeared in the sky. At that moment, people saw a gigantic city of darkness appear in another direction.
The people from the Nine Li Magus Empire had finally arrived!
Accompanying the Nine Li Tenebrous City was a gigantic cauldron. It was none other than the Pillheart Sect.
It was obvious that the Pillheart Sect placed great importance on the items left behind by the divine alchemist. Furthermore, it involved the Nine Li Magus Empire, so the Pillheart Sect would definitely send their strongest lineup. The Pillheart Sect's alchemist sage would probably be here as well.
With Tenebrous City's arrival, the Nine Li Magus Empire's gates finally opened. It was as though the sky had been torn apart, revealing a passageway to another world.
The extremely mysterious Nine Li Magus Empire had finally unveiled its veil to the world.
Tenebrous City entered directly. The Nine Li Magus Empire did not prevent other factions from entering. However, they had set up a passageway for everyone. Everyone could only proceed through the pre-set passageway.
More and more people entered the Nine Li Magus Empire. People discovered many important figures. While they were waiting, they did not even notice any traces of these important figures.
The passageway set up by the Nine Li Magus Empire was extremely unique. It looked like a meandering riverbed. The river had been dried for a very long time and there was an aura of time everywhere.
They followed the dried riverbed for a very long time. With a warrior's speed, they could tell that they had traveled more than five thousand kilometers. If they were outside the Nine Li Magus Empire, they would have traversed the entire empire. But now, they could not see the end of the riverbed.
"Little Yun, this riverbed is a little odd …"
In Tenebrous City, Old Snake's voice suddenly sounded in Yi Yun's ears.
Over the past few days, Old Snake had been leisurely staying in Yi Yun's God Advent Tower. Old Snake naturally followed Yi Yun to the Nine Li Magus Empire.
"What's odd about it?"
Yi Yun also felt that there was something unusual about the riverbed. As they proceeded along the river, it was as though they were tracing back history. It was as though every segment they took was a completely different space-time experience.
"This river's water has already dried up. I can't be completely sure but the nomological aura left behind reminds me of the River of Forgetfulness …"
Old Snake had lived for a very long time and was very knowledgeable. His words alarmed Yi Yun.
River of Forgetfulness!?
The twelve ancient Fey Gods — Extreme Yang Illumination, Extreme Yin Nether Glow, Empress Earth Dao Tree, etc. — were manifestations of laws.
They were not all in the form of life. For example, the eighth Fey God, River of Forgetfulness. It was a raging river that surged endlessly. What flowed in the river was not water but time.
The river of time always flowed forward, and the direction it flowed in was the future. As for the past, it was destined to be forgotten. History would eventually be buried by time.
Therefore, the river of time was known as the River of Forgetfulness.
The eighth Fey God, River of Forgetfulness, and the ninth Fey God, Solitary Nothingness, which symbolized spatial dimension laws, represented the spatial dimension laws that were first formed at the beginning of the Universe's Chaos. How could Yi Yun not be alarmed when Old Snake said that he sensed the River of Forgetfulness's aura in the dried riverbed?
"Senior Old Snake, don't tell me you are saying that this riverbed is what it looks like after the River of Forgetfulness vanished?"
"I'm not sure. Perhaps it's a tributary of the River of Forgetfulness, or perhaps the River of Forgetfulness's water flowed through it. But regardless, the Nine Li Magus Empire is a lot more mysterious than I imagined."
As Yi Yun and Old Snake conversed, Tenebrous City finally descended.
In front of Yi Yun was an ancient palatial complex. Yi Yun saw the people living in the palatial complex. They were clansmen of the Nine Li Magus Empire and looked no different from ordinary people.
In the middle of the palace stood a tall altar. Six gigantic pillars stood there like pillars that propped up the heavens. They maintained an ancient protective array formation.
As for the dried riverbed, it did not end in the palace. Instead, it passed through the central axis of the palace and extended all the way to the horizon. It was unknown where it led to.
"We are here. I'll bring you to see Witch Maiden," said Aged Blackrock.
Aged Blackrock said. With that said, he walked straight into the palace.
Yi Yun followed silently. As for the other people that had entered the Nine Li Magus Empire, they were still waiting outside the palace.
Yi Yun followed Aged Blackrock and passed through winding corridors. The Nine Li Magus Empire's palace was cold and empty. There were not many people in the palace, nor were there any artificial mountains or rivers that were commonly seen in ordinary palaces. Instead, there were mysterious and ancient totem sculptures, as well as Nine Li hex seals that could be seen everywhere.
"This is the place."
Aged Blackrock pushed open the door to a hall. Yi Yun took a glance and saw twelve relief sculptures on both sides of the door. They were the twelve Fey Gods. Of course, after the ninth Fey God, Solitary Nothingness, there were three walls that were blank.
The twelve Fey Gods' relief sculptures contained the laws that symbolized the twelve Fey Gods. It left an intense impact on the people standing in the hall.
And following that, Yi Yun saw the owner of the hall. It was a woman with a black veil covering her face.
The instant he saw the woman, Yi Yun sensed an extremely familiar aura. He could not help but be taken aback.
Could it be that he had seen this woman before?
His gaze could not help but land on the Nine Li Magus Maiden's eyes. As he searched through his memories, Yi Yun was alarmed. The pair of eyes resembled a person.
Huan Chenxue!
"You are …"
Yi Yun nearly blurted out Huan Chenxue's name, but he immediately held back.
He realized that the Nine Li Magus Maiden in front of him was not Huan Chenxue. Although she was masked, he could sense that the Nine Li Magus Maiden's aura was slightly different from Huan Chenxue's.
Huan Chenxue was like a snowy mountain that reflected the sunlight. She was pure and flawless. Although she had a cold temperament, it still made people want to approach her.
As for the woman in front of him, her eyes were identical to Huan Chenxue's. However, her eyes were not as clear as Huan Chenxue's. Instead, they were like deep pools with bottomless depths. As for her aura, it was even more mysterious. It was like an Abyssal Red Lotus.
However, she was identical to Huan Chenxue in one aspect. Yi Yun could not sense any energy fluctuations from her.
