NOVPUBAn explosion echoed through the void, and half of that space seemed to collapse.
The rumbling sound echoed in all directions, with every member of the Undying Race standing above the firmament.
This minor world had turned into ruins, and as it collapsed, everything turned into dust within the void.
Everyone witnessed the destruction of a minor world and ultimately sighed.
They might say they had gained nothing from this trip but had instead suffered tremendous losses.
"Leader, what should we do?" someone beside him inquired.
The man in the Blood Robe snorted coldly and said, "Report the situation to our clan, then scout for a new minor world."
...…
Xu Zimei passed through layers of space and finally emerged in the outside world.
The figure of Bai Meng did not appear, but hid within the void instead.
Xu Zimei looked around at the emptiness and laughed, "Since you’ve all come, why bother hiding?"
As his words fell, ripples spread through the surrounding space, and six figures appeared mid-air simultaneously.
Immense radiance of the Immortal Realm surged around five of the figures, their imposing auras faintly merging and pressing towards Xu Zimei.
"Master Yin, long time no see," Xu Zimei said to one of the elders with a smile.
That elder was none other than the previous master of the Divine Gate, Yin Wuheng.
"Young Master Xu, we have been waiting for you for quite some time," Yin Wuheng smiled and replied.
"May I know why Master Yin has sought me out?" Xu Zimei asked with narrowed eyes.
He looked around at the five elders, all of them powerful beings from the Immortal Ascension Boundary.
Moreover, when he and Bai Meng were in the void, it was probably these individuals who had attacked him, forcibly cutting off the spatial transfer.
"Someone wishes to meet you," Yin Wuheng smiled and replied.
"To have Master Yin come with five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts must mean this is the strongest force your Divine Gate can muster," Xu Zimei said with a smile, "The identity of this person must be extraordinary,
Shall I take a guess?"
"No need to guess, you will know once you go see," Yin Wuheng shook his head slightly and replied.
"Alright then, I too am curious to see who it is," Xu Zimei nodded and responded.
...…
The origin of the Old Land traces back to the Mythical Era.
Of course, this so-called origin is actually based on fragmented records and rumors.
It’s said that creatures during the Mythical Era were still weak, the Epoch had just begun, and their time spent in cultivation was short.
The commonfolk could hardly protect themselves.
At that time, between heaven and earth, there were many monsters born from heaven and raised by earth, each monstrously strong and formidable.
Ordinary creatures had great difficulty contending with them.
To avoid being hunted by these monsters, beings started to live together, laying more and more traps and formations around their homes.
Latter, as these beings grew stronger, the methods they used to set up formations and traps also became increasingly varied.
Eventually, the areas they inhabited turned into dangerous lands.
After several Epochs of evolution, some of these dangerous lands were destroyed, disappearing from historical records with time.
But the Old Land alone, after flowing through several Epochs, still remains in this world.
And through the evolution of Epochs, it has become one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands of the Yuan Central Continent.
...…
Xu Zimei followed Yin Wuheng and the others as they set out eastward, where apart from Xu Zimei who was at the Emperor Pulse Realm and Yin Wuheng at the Saint Vein Realm, the other five were existences that had Stepped into Immortality.
Thus, the group did not stop along the way, and after ten continuous days, they finally arrived at the Old Land at top speed.
During this period, while traveling, the five elders in the Immortal Ascension Boundary encircled Xu Zimei, preventing him from escaping.
Looking at the ancient land that had floated through the ages before them, countless people had been made here, and just as many had been buried here.
The continuous mountain ranges blocked the end of their sight, and there were no plants around. The place looked bleak and barren.
A flock of crows flew over the sky, each carrying a rotten corpse in its beak.
The noise echoed through the empty expanse of heaven and earth.
"Please, Young Master Xu," Yin Wuheng said with a smile.
As Yin Wuheng led the way, Xu Zimei was sandwiched in the middle and closely followed.
Having crossed the sprawling mountain ranges, they found the place desolate and uninhabited. The entrance to the Old Land was shrouded in mist, and a barrier blocked the way.
With a wave of Yin Wuheng’s right hand, the barrier immediately melted away, creating an opening the size of a door.
Then, they closely followed and entered.
The biggest difference between the Old Land and the outside world was that here, it was always night.
Light struggled to penetrate this place.
Apart from the brightness brought by flames, all sunlight that touched here would be instantly devoured.
The sky was pitch black, an utterly pure darkness, devoid of stars and moon alike.
"Have you been to the Old Land before, Young Master Xu?" Yin Wuheng asked with a smile. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
As they walked into the Old Land, the five elders in the Immortal Ascension Boundary behind them disappeared from sight.
"You could say I have, or haven’t," Xu Zimei replied with a light smile.
In this life, he indeed had not been here, but after the secrets of the Old Land were revealed in his past life, he had followed the army of martial artists, trying his luck in the chaos.
Moreover, in the unfolding of the River of Fate, he had seen the formation of the Old Land and the cruelties of the Mythical Era.
...
"Then, Young Master Xu, please stay close to me to avoid any danger," Yin Wuheng said. "The Old Land is vast and boundless, and there are many areas that even we of the Divine Gate have not fully explored."
Xu Zimei nodded.
Soon after, they saw a strange creature sprinting from a distance and stopping beside Xu Zimei.
The creature was bulky with two red horns on its head.
Its eyes were as large as half a fist of an ordinary person, and apart from having sparse hair on its head, the rest of its body hair appeared quite thick.
Xu Zimei took a closer look and realized that it was actually a rakshasa.
The rakshasa was dragging a carriage behind it.
"Young Master Xu, you must be tired from the journey. Please rest in the carriage," Yin Wuheng said with a smile.
Xu Zimei nodded and slowly stepped onto the carriage.
He knew that flying was forbidden in the skies above the Old Land, governed by a mysterious force that everything bent to, not even the people of the Divine Gate could fly here.
What’s more important was that within the Old Land lay a path discovered at the cost of a disciple of the Divine Gate’s life.
This path was absolutely safe, and having Yin Wuheng act this way also prevented Xu Zimei from knowing this route.
...
After Xu Zimei sat in the carriage, they saw the whole carriage slowly set in motion.
The rakshasa was incredibly strong, walking as fast as if it were flying, and the interior of the carriage was very stable.
"My Lord, what do you plan to do?" Bai Meng’s voice arose nearby.
"I’m going to meet the Divine Emperor, of course," Xu Zimei said with a laugh. "After all, they’ve gone to such great lengths.
Five elders in the Immortal Ascension Boundary, they really do think highly of me."
