Chapter 869 - Deteriorating domain
Translator: Aran
Over the next few days, Ye Qingyu, as before, shut himself away to cultivate and to strengthen his powers.
He paid no attention to outside matters. All matters, big or small, were given to the Great Dragon Turtle Demon to decide, and he absolutely did not interfere with anything. This was to completely delegate power and shape the prestige and confidence of the Great Dragon Turtle Demon.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
The plan for the repair and renovation of the stone building had been approved, and before they moved in, it had to be tidied up first.
Before the official start of the renovation of the encampment, the people of Heaven Wasteland Domain held a little ceremony in front of the stone building. After receiving the news, many friendly forces and the representatives of merchant companies rushed over to offer their congratulations. Of course, there were also disciples of foreign races, who blended in with the crowd to watch the latest activity of Heaven Wasteland Domain.
Part of the ceremony was Ye Qingyu naming the new encampment.
A rosewood plaque was hung high in front of the building. The border was decorated with simple but distinguishable dark gold markings, adding a solemn and unusual appearance to the stone building.
Ye Qingyu\'s palm flashed with a faint cold light as an icy-cold sword emerged.
He took the sword as a brush. The movement of the sword light was as flexible as a dragon, and each stroke was bold and confident.
The sword qi faded the next moment.
The three words ‘Heaven Wasteland Building’ appeared on the plaque.
The brush strokes were as vigorous and graceful as dragons and snakes, and the imposing manner was as threatening as a sword or blade.
All the experts around the stone building in that moment felt a burst of spirited aura diffusing out from the plaque. Looking at Ye Qingyu again, there was unconsciously another trace of fear. Only one with true strength would feel the terror of the sword intent. The Madman Ye of rumours had improved his strength at a shockingly rapid speed.
Many forces that were interested in forming a friendly relationship with the Heaven Wasteland Domain also presented gifts.
The present Heaven Wasteland Domain was small and weak, but it was a new domain with limitless potential. No matter what the future would be, investment was always a good choice.
During this period, Ren Puyang also sent over a gift.
In addition, several famous and distinguished formation masters of Heaven Connect City, who rarely show up to such events, had appeared in front of Heaven Wasteland Building at the same time. The appearance of the formation masters was a shock to the various forces.
Everyone knew that, in the entire Heaven Connect City, there was only one person who could make the several Human Race formation masters appear at the same time, and that was Ren Puyang.
He had sent this gift to the Heaven Wasteland Domain to publicly express his concern and courtesy to Ye Qingyu.
The several formation masters successively set up a number of protective formations outside of the stone building. The formations were al very mysterious and profound, and if activated at the same time, could resist the full blow of a Saint realm expert.
The whole process was also considered as gathering attention for Heaven Wasteland Building.
After seeing off the Formation masters, Ye Qingyu came into the stone building and personally inspected the inside and outside of the formation carefully. He spent half a day in modifying and strengthening the formations.
This was done to maximize the protection of Heaven Wasteland Building as well as the experts stationed at the encampment.
Although these masters were well respected and had the trust of Ren Puyang, Ye Qingyu had never met them before and so was naturally wary and cautious. In the formations that the masters had set up there must be a formation eye and a way to break the formation. The reason that he had modified the formations was to prevent the secret in breaking the formations falling into the hands of secret forces at the critical moment. After all, the infiltration ability of the top forces was extraordinary. The more in contact and integrated Ye Qingyu was with the great wide world, the more he was fearful.
In fact, Ye Qingyu’s knowledge in formations were derived from the intergenerational inheritance of the Formation Emperor Luosu, and was in no way inferior to that of the formation masters. Since he had personally taken care of the formation, after some repairs and with ten divine level liquid pills and ten chaotic thunder liquid pills as the core source of energy to drive the formation, the defense formation of Heaven Wasteland Building was brought to a higher level. It was impossible for even a Great Saint to break through the stone building.
After all this, the affairs that Ye Qingyu had to take care of in Heaven Connect City was considered as completely done.
Another three days passed.
The members of Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps moved out of Green Xuan Hall and officially entered the Heaven Wasteland Building.
Ye Qingyu\'s trip to Ancient Sky Dragon Domain was formally put on the agenda.
Before leaving, Ye Qingyu, after a thought, took out a secret cultivation manual from the [Infinite Arsenal] and handed it over to the Great Dragon Turtle Demon. He then came forward to act as host and invited Lin Baichuan and Tang Chong, the two commanders of the white-robed divine guards, to Heaven Wasteland Building as guests. He formally introduced the Great Dragon Turtle Demon to the two high-ranking officers, with the obvious intent of relying on them to look after the Great Dragon Turtle Demon.
The two great white-robed divine guards wanted to form a good relationship with Ye Qingyu, who had limitless potential, so they also gave face to Ye Qingyu and quickly got acquainted with the Great Dragon Turtle Demon.
At this point, Ye Qingyu had done what he should do and what he wanted to do.
The Heaven Wasteland Building had the Great Dragon Turtle Demon keeping watch, while Heaven Wasteland Domain had Yu Xiaoxing and other people. There should not be anything happening for a while.
Ye Qingyu stayed for another day. The next morning he said farewell to the Great Dragon Turtle Demon, and directly left the Heaven Wasteland Building along with Luo Yi, Little Nine, and Mother Qin Hui and her son, setting foot on the road to the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
……
Five days later.
Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
Across the vast desert, yellow sand was whipping about in fury.
As far as the eye could see, the sky was scarlet red, wind howling fiercely, the air was dry, and the spiritual qi was thin as smoke. There was not a blade of grass across the vast desert, only the blowing sand soaring into the sky. Fierce winds were converging and rumbling like waves, and the entire heavens was dim and dark.
A small station building with yellow sandy soil piled around was located in the center of the vast desert.
Although said to be a station, it was more like a stone courtyard that was temporary constructed for passers-by to rest. Perhaps it was much more glorious in the past. The ruins far and near gave the impression that many years ago the buildings here were not so simple, but now it had deteriorated to a state beyond recognition. The majority of the collapsed buildings were buried by yellow sand, and only a few small stone buildings were still standing among the wind and sand.
The courtyard of the small station was not big, and the furnishings inside were very simple. In the main hall there were only a few rocks stacked together casually. Even the only remaining door had long been eroded by the wind and sand, leaning against the doorframe, teetering.
Ye Qingyu stood at the door of the station, letting out a gentle sigh.
It was his first official day in the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
Along the way, the sight that he had seen could be described as tragic and sorrowful.
Everywhere was desolate and uninhabited, and there was not the slightest aura of a living thing.
There were some crumbling towns and villages where he could see scattered white bones as well as dried up rivers and lakes. There was not even a blade of grass across the land and rock formations. In particular, most of the grounds were cracked. The winding cracks were extended all over the land, mountains and rivers. There was faint hot air emitting from thousands of meters deep. It was as though someone had struck the land with a huge axe, and across the desert, where the heaven and earth met, there were countless volcanoes, heat waves billowing into the sky, seemingly about to erupt, and the lava had already overflowed the land. It was like hell.
To call such a scene as the arrival of doomsday was not an exaggeration.
And this... was the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
The most brilliant and illustrious domain of the Human Race, where countless heroes had emerged and cultivated, was considered as a super force among the Vast Thousand Domains. The Ancient Sky Dragon Sect that had occupied the entire Ancient Sky Dragon Domain was comparable to the major sects such as the Jade Pearl Sect and Tianqian Sect. It had awe-inspiring authority, and for a long period of time, the roars of the Sky Dragon cannon on the Sky Dragon battleships had made countless enemies shiver in fear...
But all this had become the past.
This was the so-called rise and fall.
The Ancient Sky Dragon Domain had existed for a very long period of time, and the domain, like a living creature, also had a flourishing and deteriorating period. The present Ancient Sky Dragon Domain, because the spiritual qi of the Heaven and earth had been exhausted, because of the negligence of the Ancient Sky Dragon Race, because... because of various reasons, was like a tottering old man, aged with years and was about to reach the end of its life yuan.
This was a domain about to be destroyed.
This was known throughout the Vast Thousand Worlds.
The deterioration of the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain was inevitable.
Although it was only Ye Qingyu’s first day here, he had already felt the declining spirits of the domain. What he had seen along the way had confirmed all kinds of rumours. The present Ancient Sky Dragon Domain indeed, as the rumours had said, did not have the vitality of the past. The environment had deteriorated to an extreme state, and all kinds of natural resources were almost depleted. It was only waiting for death and destruction to come.
Ye Qingyu felt sorrowful.
There had been rumours that this domain, which was controlled by the Human Race, had a life span of thousands of years, but from what he had seen along the way, the speed of deterioration and decline was increasingly faster. How would it be able to withstand for thousands of years? It was most likely going to be destroyed in less than one hundred years.
Standing at the door of the station, looking at the kilometers of yellow sand, Ye Qingyu knew that this domain had been abandoned by the mainstream forces of the world.
On the other side, Qin Hui gazed at the yellow sandy soil that covered the world with a complex expression, there was attachment towards her native land, helplessness and sadness.
The young mother who was born and raised here suddenly spoke with a slightly sorrowful and helpless voice, “Lord Ye Qingyu, What kind of domain is your Heaven Wasteland Domain?”
Ye Qingyu was taken aback for a moment then he answered, “Heaven Wasteland Domain is prosperous, boundless, vast as the starry sky, and thousands of creatures exist there. There are rivers and lakes, mountains and plains, some places have four distinct seasons, while some are desert and some covered in ice and snow all year round.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hui\'s eyes flashed with a light of envy——
