The Gale Sacred Wolf pulled the chariot and galloped across the land, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, like a green meteor streaking across the vast wilderness.
"Yan Ruyu, don't you think it's a pity that you left with her?"
In the chariot, Jun Wu Xie looked at the girl sitting quietly beside Yan Qingcheng.
This was the second time he saw her, and it had been a long time.
This girl had a more mature temperament than before. She was just like her name, with a jade-like face.
Now, she didn't seem to have the same sharpness as before, and her temperament was much more restrained.
"Perhaps it's a pity, but I want to follow Master more. Since she left, I don't want to stay."
Her expression was very calm, and there was no fluctuation in her purple eyes. Since she got on the chariot, she had been very quiet. When she didn't speak, it was as if she didn't exist.
"Silly girl, you must be tired after wandering outside for more than a year, right?" Yan Qingcheng lovingly stroked her purple hair and said, "If you want to go out and experience and fight for your own opportunities, Master won't stop you. If you're tired, go home. Wherever Master is, is your home. You're welcome to come back at any time."
"Master, disciple is indeed tired. I want to rest and stay by Master's side …"
Yan Ruyu's calm purple eyes were filled with deep fatigue.
Since more than a year ago, she had been separated from Master and Jun Wu Xie in the ancient city of Southern Border, she had been traveling between the famous mountains and rivers of the world, entering and exiting different secret places. She had experienced too many dangers, but also obtained many opportunities.
Since the recovery of heaven and earth, she had even gone deep into the mountains that suddenly appeared. She had narrowly escaped death, fought with strong enemies, and was hunted down. Today, she was both physically and mentally exhausted.
"Seems like you've experienced a lot in the past year."
Jun Wu Xie observed her, and golden runes flashed in his eyes. It was the sublimated version of the Primeval True Eyes.
He was a little surprised. He remembered that when he first met Yan Ruyu, he had spied on her strength.
At that time, her talent growth was only at the early stage of the Eternal King Domain.
Now, she was already at the late stage of the Eternal King Domain. It was as if she had been reborn.
Her Genuine Qi was very condensed, and there were bloodline runes of the Demon Race. This meant that her Divine Charm Pupil Blood had completed the initial awakening.
"I've fought with people from the outer realms more than once."
Yan Ruyu suddenly said. She didn't show any repulsion towards Jun Wu Xie's eye technique. She wasn't afraid that her secret would be seen by him.
Jun Wu Xie, Yan Qingcheng, Ji Inran, and Mu Yunxi were all shocked.
"When and where?"
"In many places, in the depths of the mountains that suddenly appeared after the world recovered …"
Yan Ruyu expressed that there were many mysterious regions in the depths of the great mountains that appeared in the world. Behind those regions were the starry skies, and there was a faintly discernible ancient path that led to unknown places in the starry skies.
"I've been to more than ten mountains, and every mountain has an ancient path like this. I've met geniuses from the outer realm in nine of these mysterious areas. There were at most ten of them, and at least two or three."
Jun Wu Xie thought for a while and said, "It turns out that the alien races have already come to our ancient star. It's just that we didn't know about it. They came, but stayed in the mountains. Moreover, they were only young geniuses. It seems that the ancient path of the starry skies isn't stable, and there are still restrictions that prevent high-level experts from coming. If they were just young geniuses, they wouldn't be able to run rampant on our ancient star. That's why they chose to hide. "
"If the alien races come in large numbers, it would be difficult for the ancient star's martial artists to resist them …" Yan Ruyu was no longer as calm as before. There was deep worry between her brows. "Those people are too strong. The weakest of the geniuses that I've fought has already stepped into the All-era-level. Some of them have been on our planet for a long time, secretly exploring mystic lands and obtaining many opportunities."
She paused for a few seconds and said, "Those geniuses are just the servants of the young paragons from the outer realms …"
"What? Sister Ruyu, you're saying that those All-era-level geniuses are just the servants of others?"
Mu Yunxi couldn't believe it.
What was a servant?
It was the lowest status, no different from a slave. It was even inferior to a squire.
In this world, there were many experts who would subdue some followers to do things for them. Servants had the lowest status, followed by squires, then guests, and the highest status was the battle general under their command.
The servants of the young paragons from the outer realms were all at the All-era-level. One could imagine how strong the squires and guests were, and the battle general under them would be even stronger!
"Yes, they said it themselves. Those people worship their master like a god and are very confident in conquering our ancient star. They often mention the word 'master' and take pride in being the servant of those young paragons."
"Ruyu, why didn't you tell Master about this before?" Yan Qingcheng said in a deep voice, "Master takes back what she said before. She can't let you go on adventures as you wish. You're not allowed to enter those areas with the ancient path of the starry skies alone! "
"This disciple will listen to Master. Back then, I only found some treasures hidden in those areas, and I didn't feel that I was inferior to my peers from the outer realms. However, when I found out that my opponents were just servants, I realized that my strength was still far from theirs. Now, if I want to increase my talent, the resources in those places are useless. Even if I want to go, this disciple will have to choose places like the Golden Scale Secret Realm or the Outer Realms … "
"Oh right, there's one more thing. I'm not sure what it is, but it's very scary …"
Yan Ru Yu spoke tirelessly. She talked about how she had accidentally entered a secret place and encountered a semi-sage level ominous beast. She had thought that she would die for sure. Fortunately, that area was relatively special. The semi-sage level ominous beast couldn't imprison her from a long distance. So, she had a chance to escape.
As a result, the half-step Saint level ferocious beast had touched something while it was fleeing, and something very strange and terrifying had happened.
"It was a kind of greyish green fluid. When it entered the body of that half-step Saint beast, I saw that its body gradually bulged out like sores, and a disgusting liquid was flowing out. It was in great pain, and it was screaming and struggling. In the end, its entire body rotted, and it turned into a pile of squirming rotten meat … "
She said that the fluid could move, as if it had its own consciousness, and it would attack living creatures.
"Later, I saw this kind of fluid in other places, but its effect wasn't as scary as the greyish green fluid that attacked the half-step Saint beast …"
Yan Ruyu's face was slightly pale. When she talked about the greyish green fluid, she still had a lingering fear.
"The greyish green fluid turned a half-step Saint into a pile of rotten meat in a short time …"
Ji Inran muttered to herself, constantly searching through her memories. Those ancient memories contained a huge amount of information that covered a wide range of topics, but there was nothing related to the greyish green fluid.
"When I return to the sect, I'll ask Chenyu if she has heard of this strange fluid. Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Jun Wu Xie naturally thought of the Curse of Darkness. This thing seemed to have the same effect as the Curse of Darkness.
"Yue Chenyu shouldn't know about this. Wuxie, do you want to ask the War Saint? "
Ji Inran secretly transmitted her voice, saying that even she had never heard of this fluid, so it was basically impossible for Yue Chenyu to know.
"Yin Lan, how can you be so sure?"
She transmitted her voice: "Actually, I'm a reincarnator. The information in my memories is huge. I can basically confirm that I have never heard of such a thing."
Jun Wu Xie: … …
Ji Inran really was a reincarnator!
Hearing her say it personally, he felt surprised, but it also seemed reasonable.
"I'll rest for a while."
He said this to the girls, then entered the Temple of Eternal Life.
In the distance, there was a coffin and the weak true soul of the Witch Queen.
Nearby, there was a hexagonal stone platform with the Dark Spirit Evil Corpse locked in it.
Jun Wu Xie came to the stone platform and glanced at the Dark Spirit Evil Corpse. He used his finger to flick its forehead, but the evil corpse didn't react at all.
It wasn't that its obsession had dissipated.
He could feel that its obsession still existed, but it was just holed up in its body. It seemed to be filled with fear of this place and didn't communicate with him like before.
"Ye Qingxue."
"You need something?"
A calm voice came from the Yu Zhen Pagoda, and then a fairy-like figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.
"That guy." He pointed at the Dark Spirit Evil Corpse and said: "He urged me to quickly devour his dark matter energy. Is there some kind of conspiracy?"
"What he said was somewhat true, but he wanted you to quickly devour the dark matter energy because he wanted to seize the opportunity to take over your body."
"Take over? I knew he couldn't be trusted! "
Jun Wu Xie's back was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and didn't use his fate star to restrain the Dark Curse.
Ye Qingxue said: "If you want to devour his dark matter energy, you can't stay in contact with his body for a long time. Otherwise, he will use physical contact as a medium to attack your soul. This world only limits the level of power and has very little restriction on the soul. His soul realm is many levels higher than yours. If it wasn't for some special reason that his soul couldn't leave his body, your body would have already been taken over by him in the cave. "
"Ye Qingxue, why would my fate star automatically resist and devour the Dark Curse?"
Jun Wu Xie had always been puzzled in his heart. Because at that time, it wasn't under his control. It was the fate star's automatic action.
Ye Qingxue didn't say anything. She looked at him in silence for a long time and said: "I can't answer this question for you. But it shouldn't be harmful to you. You don't need to worry about it. Being able to resist the Dark Curse is a good thing. After all, you will have to face the Dark Curse many times in the future. "
"Alright." Since Ye Qingxue said so, he naturally wouldn't worry about this matter anymore. He asked: "Do you know a kind of grey-green liquid substance? It will attack living creatures. Once a living creature comes into contact with it, many pustules will grow on their body. They will swell up and then rot, finally turning into a pile of rotten meat! "
"Where have you seen this kind of thing?"
Ye Qingxue's deep eyes had a trace of surprise.
"I haven't seen it. My friend has. He saw with his own eyes that this substance turned a Half-Saint vicious beast into a pile of rotten meat in a very short period of time!"
"So there really is such a thing …"
Ye Qingxue's voice wasn't calm. Her mind seemed to have fluctuated.
"Then what is it?"
Jun Wu Xie's heart sank. Something that Ye Qingxue was concerned about was definitely very terrifying!
"I'm not sure either. Perhaps it should be called the Abyssal Plague. I've never seen it before and have only heard it mentioned once. That kind of thing didn't appear then, and it hasn't even appeared for a very long time. I didn't expect it to appear in this life … "
Abyssal Plague?
When Jun Wu Xie heard that name, her heart was filled with disgust.
The abyss represented darkness and despair.
Plague?
Combined with the characteristics of that thing, it was like a strange plague virus!
Abyssal Plague!
When put together in such a way, it made one shudder.
Where did it come from? Someone had mentioned it in Ye Qingxue's previous era. After that, it hadn't appeared for many eras, but it just had to appear in this life?
"You must be careful when you encounter the Abyssal Plague in the future."
Jun Wu Xie nodded and then left the Temple of Eternal Life.
…
"Princess, it looks like things aren't going as smoothly as we thought …"
In the Universe Suppression Pagoda, the Vermilion Bird's voice was grave.
Ye Qingxue sighed and said, "I originally thought that this was a game between two sides, but a third party had entered the game at some point. Whether it's the existence behind the Dark Curse or the existence behind the Abyssal Plague, they're all enemies.
"There are many things currently shrouded in fog. There are supreme experts behind all of them, making it difficult for me and the Princess to pry into the truth. It's extremely likely that they're existences on the same level as Master …"
"They should be friends, not enemies."
Ye Qingxue said.
The Vermilion Bird said, "Princess, are you talking about that bronze coffin in Young Master's Fate Star?"
"Correct. It can resist and suppress the Dark Curse, but its power has fallen into a deep slumber. As his cultivation increases, it will slowly release its power. What do you think this means? What is the intention of the owner of that coffin?"
"It should be to help Young Master cultivate the dual energy of light and darkness, but they don't want Young Master to be sensed by certain existences, so they can only do this. In that world, there was a Celestial Emperor who placed his future on Young Master, and now there's an unknown existence who also placed part of his future hopes on Young Master. From the moment Young Master was born, he was already destined to walk the path of his future. No wonder Princess couldn't see it before. Even when he entered the Eternal Life Temple and met you, you still couldn't see his fate … "
"Yes, there's a very powerful force in the unseen world that's obscuring everything …"
"I hope Young Master can find all the Primordial Divine Gold as soon as possible and completely repair the Universe Suppression Pagoda. At that time, Princess will be able to return to her peak state, or even reach a higher level."
Ye Qingxue stood in the Void, her clothes whiter than snow and her fine black hair fluttering in the wind. She said, "The Primordial Divine Gold is a true innate object. It has the power to conceal itself. Under normal circumstances, even with my current divine sense, it's very difficult to sense its existence in the heavens. This requires opportunity and cannot be forced. However, he has great fortune and I believe he won't have to wait for too long. "
