Yi Yun used his fastest speed to extract the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm's silk and a portion of its venom. He then extracted a few of its steel teeth and stored them in his interspatial ring. Following that, he used his movement technique and ran deep into the wilderness.
When cultivators went into the Divine wilderness for training, storage space was a big problem. Typically, only the most precious materials from a large desolate beast's body would be taken, or else the interspatial ring would be full.
While running, Yi Yun opened up the Purple Crystal's energy vision.
The surrounding Power of Desolates rippled like water. Yi Yun quickly saw energy dots appear in the distance.
"One, two, three …"
These energy dots were the Thousand Feet Black Silkworms.
Yi Yun immediately changed directions and ran deep into the wilderness, avoiding the Thousand Feet Black Silkworms.
Before the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm attacked, Yi Yun had slept for four hours. It was enough for him.
Although the vast wilderness's night was dangerous, Yi Yun could use the Purple Crystal's vision to open up a path, so he could avoid any danger ahead of time.
While he was rushing, Yi Yun also sensed the Aspect Totem that was slowly condensing in his body.
Just killing a Thousand Feet Black Silkworm was not enough for the Aspect Totem to condense.
However, Yi Yun could already feel it forming.
A typical warrior's Aspect Totem would be fixed once it appeared.
But the "Ten Thousand Beast Totem" Aspect Totem's form would change according to the desolate beasts killed. It would have all sorts of strange changes.
From the embryonic form to the complete form, it could even mutate and evolve.
It was unknown what it would be like if the Aspect Totem mutated …
Yi Yun was looking forward to it, but he knew that his current state was still far from mutating his Aspect Totem.
He had only taken the first step of his long journey.
Yi Yun did not know how long he had been running in the endless dark wilderness. He would avoid the desolate beasts that lurked in the dark.
When the first ray of dawn pierced through the darkness, the land in the distance was covered in a layer of fog. This fog constantly changed shape, and it had an unpleasant smell.
It was miasma!
Following that, Yi Yun heard the bubbling sound of air bubbles.
A pitch black, endless swamp appeared in front of Yi Yun. The faint mist was like a veil that covered the mud.
At this point, the pungent smell in the air was extremely strong.
"It's Blackwater Swamp." Yi Yun recalled the records in the Divine wilderness. The rotting mud and miasma in the Blackwater Swamp were poisonous. The deeper one went, the more poisonous it was.
The black mud in the swamp was especially corrosive, just like the bodily fluids of the Thousand-legged Black Silkworm.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a single blade of grass growing in the poisonous Blackwater Swamp.
However, the strange thing was that there was a kind of bright-colored aquatic plant growing in the swamp. The aquatic plant bloomed with bewitching flowers, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding rancid black mud.
Yi Yun knew that this coquettish flower's name was the Blood Corpse Flower. It used rotting corpses as nourishment and liked miasma. The Blood Corpse Flower itself was highly toxic.
In Yi Yun's condition, if he wrapped his body with Yuan Qi, he could resist the corrosion of the mud. But with the passage of time, Yi Yun's Yuan Qi would be rapidly depleted.
And the Blackwater Swamp was vast. Yi Yun estimated that he would need at least a day and a night to cross the swamp.
But in the toxic swamp, Yi Yun estimated that he could not last more than two hours.
Furthermore, the Blackwater Swamp also had extremely few desolate beasts like the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile. Encountering one was troublesome!
"Do I have to take a detour?"
Yi Yun frowned slightly. If he were to take a detour, he would need to walk a huge circle to reach Meteorite Abyss. The journey was long, and with the occasional encounter with desolate beasts, it would take at least ten days.
As Yi Yun was pondering, he suddenly had a thought.
That is …
Yi Yun looked incredulously into the distance. There, in the thin miasma, was a youth dressed in green clothes. He was riding a green ox as he slowly walked over.
The green ox's four hooves stepped on the swamp, but it was not stained by the mud at all.
The youth on the back of the ox held a piccolo in his hand and wore a bamboo hat on his head. A melodious tune flew out, teasing the breeze in the swamp. Clusters of Bloody Corpse Flowers also swayed with the wind.
The poisonous swamp, which seemed to be filled with killing intent, suddenly seemed to become a paradise in spring. Even the bewitching Blood Corpse Flowers seemed to become gentle.
Yi Yun was momentarily stunned. Green clothes, green ox, piccolo …
This youth, who looked like a farmer's shepherd boy, suddenly appeared in the Blackwater Swamp that was filled with vitality. The scene in front of him was too visually impactful.
This youth did not fit in with the endless Divine wilderness.
What is he …
Yi Yun watched the green-clothed youth approach on the green ox. He touched the Thousand Army Saber's hilt with one hand and circulated his Yuan Qi.
He could not tell the youth's cultivation level. He felt that he was an ordinary person. Even with the Purple Crystal's vision, the energy contained in the youth's body did not seem to be much stronger. However, his body had a colorful vitality magnetic field that was gorgeous and beautiful.
When the youth saw Yi Yun, he moved the piccolo away from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Yi Yun. "Hello."
The youth's voice was like a spring breeze.
Yi Yun did not let down his guard. He nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
"You are … a cultivator in the Divine wilderness?"
Yi Yun instinctively felt that the youth was strong. But looking at his age, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. It was hard to imagine such a proud son of heaven.
"Cultivator?" The youth was slightly stunned before he smiled. He gently shook his head, "I'm not. I'm just a traveler. I'm just passing through the Divine wilderness …"
"Traveler? Passing through the Divine wilderness!? "
Yi Yun was alarmed. From the direction the youth was coming from, he had most likely passed through the Blackwater Swamp.
He had easily passed through the toxic Blackwater Swamp. But this was not what surprised Yi Yun the most.
What surprised him was that the youth was heading in the direction of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. And the North he came from was completely uninhabited. North of the Divine wilderness was an endless wilderness. There were countless powerful desolate beasts lurking in it. Many of the desolate beasts would flee when human sages encountered them!
This youth actually said that he was passing through the Divine wilderness. If he really came from the North, then where did he come from?
It couldn't be the other end of the Divine wilderness …
Yi Yun's heart was in turmoil, but on the surface, he maintained his calm. He did not say another word. This mysterious youth was in a completely different world from him.
Or maybe, he was not even a youth …
"Well … You are very interesting."
The youth looked at Yi Yun and gently smiled, "We will probably meet again."
After saying that, he rode on the green cow and passed by Yi Yun.
The melodious flute music sounded once again. The cheerful notes seemed to materialize as they danced in the blue sky and white clouds without restraint.
The scavenger birds in the sky were also attracted by the music. They circled around the youth not far from him.
In a pond far away from the swamp, there were poisonous fish that looked strange leaping out of the water. They were spitting out bubbles in extreme joy.
These life forms that were feared and hated by people seemed to have become cheerful pixies. This scene left a deep impression on Yi Yun …
Yi Yun watched the youth disappear from his vision. He felt that the youth's flute music had a strange magical power that could control the thoughts of desolate beasts …
When the youth walked through the Blackwater Swamp, it was as if he was strolling in a garden.
His target was so obvious, how could the desolate beasts not sense it? But … maybe because of the strange flute music, he did not suffer any attacks.
"This youth is really strange. He should have the ability to control desolate beasts … What is he doing in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom?"
Yi Yun muttered to himself. The path of martial arts was filled with all sorts of strange things. It was not strange for someone to have the ability to control beasts.
As for why the youth was going to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, or if he was just passing through the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, Yi Yun could not be bothered to think about it. What he needed to be concerned about was how to pass through the Blackwater Swamp.
It was too far to take a detour.
Yi Yun walked along the edge of the swamp. After walking for about 15 minutes, Yi Yun's footsteps suddenly came to a halt.
Oh?
In his energy vision, he saw a blob of pure black energy lurking underground.
"Gulu, Gulu –"
In the depths of the mist-shrouded swamp, there was suddenly a trace of unusual movement. The silt surged, and large clusters of silt bubbles emerged.
