BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89 - 89: Endless Desolate Domain
“Endless Desolate Domain?” Cheng Xu frowned.
The system’s miscellaneous knowledge encyclopedia had records of the Endless Desolate Domain, as well as many rumors and stories related to the Endless Desolate Domain.
As everyone knew, Mini Southern Heaven was the southernmost part of the cultivation world. The desolate land further south of Mini Southern Heaven was the legendary uninhabited land, the Endless Desolate Domain.
The further south the Mini Southern Heaven Territory went, the thinner the Spiritual Energy became.
The so-called Endless Desolate Domain was, to put it bluntly, a vast area in the southern part of Mini Southern Heaven without any Spiritual Energy.
“Yes.” Yan Changfeng said solemnly, “According to the information we have, all the Devil Dao parties attach great importance to this operation. According to the information we have collected recently, a long-lasting war did happen in Mini Southern Heaven ten thousand years ago. The Endless Desolate Domain is likely to be the main battlefield of that war.”
After learning that it was related to the great war from ten thousand years ago, Cheng Xu was immediately interested.
“What exactly happened in the war ten thousand years ago?” Cheng Xu asked.
“It has been too long. It’s already not easy to find a few words.” “No.” Yan Changfeng shook his head helplessly. “However, judging from the words, many top Cultivators died in the war. It will be a worthwhile trip if we can get a treasure left behind by the ancient Cultivators.”
Cheng Xu’s eyes lit up again.
“When do we set off?”
“Naturally, the sooner the better.”
“Alright, Junior Brother will bring everyone around the valley first and prepare a little for Brother.” Cheng Xu immediately made the decision.
Yan Changfeng and the others were naturally overjoyed. They left the cave abode to remind him, “That’s right, junior brother Cheng, there’s no Spiritual Energy in the endless wasteland. Prepare more Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills to replenish your supply.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Brother Yan.” Cheng Xu nodded.
After sending them off, he used Flowing Brightness Sand to upgrade the Hard Disk to level 6. The Hard Drive space jumped from 4096MB to 8192MB. For a short period of time, he would no longer have to worry about the lack of space.
However, the upgrade materials for the Hard Disk made him frown slightly.
“Blazing Earth? It was another material that he had never heard of before.”
As expected, as the Hard Drive’s level increased, the upgrading materials also began to become more expensive.
Following that, he went to the Spirit Herb Hall to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs and refined a batch of Qi Recovery Pills and Healing Pills.
As for Spirit Stones, he didn’t lack them at all. The Jian Chamber of Commerce’s monthly fixed income of one million had long allowed him to achieve financial freedom.
Everything was ready, so he went to bid farewell to his master, Perfected Chi Yao, before leaving.
Although Perfected Chi Yao was worried when he learned that Cheng Xu was going to the Endless Desolate Domain, he didn’t stop him.
However, when Cheng Xu left, he stuffed a large pile of all kinds of top-grade pills into his hands.
Let’s put it this way. With the supply of pills from his master, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to stay in the Endless Desolate Domain for two or three years.
Perhaps this was the love from his master.
“How is it? Brother Cheng, can we go now?”
Huyan Zan and the others were already waiting outside the cave.
A moment later, a small and exquisite boat flew out of the Medicine Celestial Valley and headed south.
Five days later, at the southern border of Mini Southern Heaven, hundreds of miles of uninhabited land.
The exquisite boat was flying through the clouds. Yan Changfeng and the others were watching Cheng Xu who was breaking through, feeling amazed.
“Brother Cheng’s growth speed is really…” Liu Qiao sighed in surprise.
Not long ago, Cheng Xu was still an outer sect disciple who had been expelled from the Cloud Sect, but now he was already a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Cheng Xu slowly opened his eyes. His Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation had already stabilized, and his entire body was extremely relaxed.
“The Spiritual Energy in the surroundings is getting more and more scarce. We should be arriving soon.” Cheng Xu asked as he felt the thin Spiritual Energy around him.
“We should be able to enter the Endless Desolate Domain in at most two hours.” Huyan Zan ridiculed as he steered the boat, “It’s already very uncomfortable with the thin Spiritual Energy. I don’t know how uncomfortable it will be after entering the Endless Desolate Domain.”
“Adapt, adapt, adapt.” Xue Lingyu chuckled.
“That’s right, Brother Yan, the Endless Desolate Domain is so big, where can we find those devil cultivators?” Huyan Zan asked.
Yan Changfeng chuckled and took out a specially-made compass. “The few Demonic Cultivators all have the special mark of the Cloud Sect. As long as they are within a certain range, we can sense their location.”
“That’s good.”
As he spoke, the surrounding Spiritual Energy decreased further. The verdant land below gradually became barren, and even the color tone became darker.
The moment the Spiritual Energy completely dissipated, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate land filled with death and devastation.
Everyone on the ship was shocked by the desolate scenery in front of them.
Although the wounds on the ground had been healed by time, traces of high-level battles could still be seen.
Broken mountain rocks, flat rifts, and oddly-shaped deep pits. Clearly, these were not naturally formed landforms.
“It seems that a long and drawn-out war really did happen here.” Yan Changfeng was bewildered and thought, “But who would be fighting in such a place?”
“That’s right. Normally, not to mention cultivators, even mortals wouldn’t come to such a place. What’s the point of fighting in a place like this?” Huyan Zan retorted.
“Perhaps the Spiritual Energy in this area hadn’t dried up ten thousand years ago?” Xue Lingyu guessed.
“If that’s the case, it makes sense.” Yan Changfeng frowned. “But as far as I know, the Endless Desolate Domain doesn’t have any trend of spreading to the north. At least, there’s no record of it in the past thousand years.”
“Who cares? Let’s find those Demonic Cultivators first.” Liu Qiao was too lazy to think about this.
Cheng Xu silently looked at the devastated land below. It was hard to imagine what kind of battle could have created such a land of peril.
The treasure ship continued to travel deeper into Desolate Territory.
Soon, the outline of a heavily weathered mountain that towered into the clouds appeared in everyone’s sight.
Yan Changfeng and the others did not pay much attention to it, but Cheng Xu’s heart was beating wildly.
“Brother Huyan, I’ll have to trouble you to get closer to that mountain.”
“What’s wrong?”
Huyan Zan and the others looked at the mountain in confusion.
Cheng Xu didn’t say anything. He just stared at the mountain that was gradually becoming clearer. He couldn’t help it. The outline of the mountain that was inserted into the ground was too familiar.
It was exactly the same as the half of the spaceship he had seen in the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm.
The only difference was that the spaceship was covered in plants and moss, while the spaceship in front of him was covered in a layer of rock and sand. When he got closer, he could see some rusty metal sections at the cracks.
“This mountain…” Yan Changfeng and the others also gradually sensed that something was wrong.
“Oh my, so it’s a magnetic mountain?” Huyan Zan made a fuss out of nothing and said, “That’s not right. How could the magnetic mountain look like this? It’s even hollow. Quick, quick, let’s go down and take a look.”
The treasure ship slowly landed on the top of the ‘mountain’, and the five of them immediately conducted a comprehensive survey of the entire mountain.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t look, but the more he looked, the more shocked he became.
Especially the huge hole at the cross-section, it made everyone click their tongues in wonder.
“Good heavens, there’s actually a complicated formation talisman circuit inside this mountain. Even I can’t understand it, and the metal also has obvious signs of melting.” Huyan Zan said, “In my opinion, I’m afraid it’s not a giant Dharma treasure!”
Is there such a huge magic weapon in the world?” Xue Lingyu murmured in surprise.
Clang!
Huyan Zan kicked the rock and soil layer on the ‘mountain’ and observed the exposed black metal carefully. “It must have been melted. The melting technique is superb, and the material is unheard of. Even my father’s Scorching Sun Ancient Sword might not be able to hurt such a material..”
