The head on the right of the strange snake spoke in the human tongue, “We’re too far away and your speed is too slow. When you reach the Unaging Land, I’m afraid you’ll be too late.”
“But…” Qu Huachang felt a headache coming on, “You’re too ugly.”
She couldn’t help sighing in her heart. The Holy Spirits of other people were either awe-inspiring or beautiful, but when it came to her, they were actually so ugly.
The strange snake was enraged, “I’m ugly? I’m ugly? You little girl, you’re blind, you dare say I’m ugly, you’re the ugliest!”
Qu Huachang’s face darkened, not bothering to argue with him.
Millions of kilometers away, someone was riding a Human Face Leopard-Striped Spirit Beast and laughing loudly, “Hurry up, hurry up, I can’t wait to meet this world’s heroes and see if they are stronger or if I am stronger.”
The Human Face Leopard Holy Spirit angrily said, “Little brat, I’m your Dao Protector, not your mount. Don’t give this old master any orders, if you keep talking I’ll throw you down.”
The man laughed loudly, “See if you dare throw me, no one will be able to snatch that Innate Spirit Fruit for you.”
The Human Face Leopard Holy Spirit was thoroughly enraged.
…
One after another, the Holy Spirits took their chosen Bearer and rushed to the Unaging Land. The World’s Spiritual Energy was in chaos, and the cultivators who had fallen into the Great Ruins Boundary found that there were actually so many powerful existences in this world that they couldn’t help shivering.
They had lived here for more than ten years, but very few people had ever encountered a Holy Spirit, so they had never known that the Great Ruins Boundary was so dangerous.
Fortunately, most of these Holy Spirits lived in seclusion and had never harmed others before. Otherwise, how could any of them survive? None of the Holy Spirits here were people they could contend with.
The Unaging Land was about to open, and the World Phenomenon appeared as countless cultivators from the Great Ruins Boundary gathered from all directions.
In just ten days, more than three thousand people had gathered outside the Unaging Land, and this was the first group to arrive. As time passed, more people would arrive.
A month later, there were no less than two hundred thousand people gathered outside the Unaging Land. At this time, there were no more people coming, and even if there were, the number are scattered, so there weren’t many.
In other words, almost all the surviving cultivators in the Great Ruins Boundary had gathered here.
When the Star City had been swallowed by the mist of the Great Ruins Boundary, there had been more than two hundred thousand people, nearly three or four times that number, perhaps even a million, but after more than a decade, only a few had survived, so it was obvious how dangerous the Great Ruins Boundary was.
This time, when the Unaging Land opened, how many people would be able to return safely?
Outside the Unaging Land, cultivators gathered in groups and set up their own camps. The Holy Spirits also released their powerful auras and occupied their own territories, causing everyone to shrink back in fear.
Everyone looked up at the sky in a daze, staring at the ever-changing colorful light. It was said that this light was the gateway to the Unaging Land, but it had yet to be fully opened, so no one could enter it. Once the light stabilized, the Secret Territory would open.
Qu Huachang, Gu Pan, Lin Feng, Xu Zhen, Ning Daoran, and the others were all gathered together, chatting happily about their recent experiences.
Behind the five of them, the five Holy Spirits were paying close attention to this place. Not only were they paying attention to the safety of their Bearer, they were also coveting the lives of the other Bearer.
If they could kill a few more Bearer here, they would be able to reduce their competitors.
A faint sense of hostility pervaded the air, but because of their mutual fear, no one dared to act rashly.
The two strange snakes prostrated themselves, their long snake tongues silently curling up before suddenly withdrawing.
Qu Huachang turned her head angrily, “If you dare eat people, I’ll leave right now.”
The strange snake’s left head asked, “Eat what? What do you think i want to eat?”
Qu Huachang gritted her teeth, “Open your right mouth.”
The strange snake’s right head glanced to the side, its two triangular eyes staring towards the sky.
“I’m leaving!” Qu Huachang stood up decisively.
“I’m not eating, I’m not eating!” The head on the left side of the strange snake cried out, and the mouth on the right side opened, spitting out a completely wet cultivator. The cultivator fell to the ground with a blank look on his face, completely unaware that he had been sucked into the Holy Spirit’s mouth. When he finally realized what was happening, his face went pale and he let out a startled cry before flying off into the distance.
The strange snake coldly snorted, “Ugly little girl is too much of a busybody. There are so many people here, what’s wrong with eating one or two of them?”
The nearby cultivators all turned pale and quickly moved away from this strange snake.
“Behave, I’ll keep an eye on you!” Qu Huachang poked her eyes and glared at the strange snake.
Xu Zhen’s mouth twitched as he said, “Uh, Senior Feiyi is really interesting.”
The two strange snakes were none other than the Holy Spirit Feiyi. Xu Zhen couldn’t help feeling a little envious when he saw that it was being suppressed by Qu Huachang. His Zhu Yan was not so easy to deal with, and in the past few years, he had been beaten up by it many times.
“So ugly!” Qu Huachang wore a look of disdain and changed the subject, “Why isn’t Little Brother Yang here yet? He should have arrived long ago.”
Among all of them, Qu Huachang was the furthest away from them. Even she had arrived here three days ago, but Yang Kai was nowhere to be seen, which was quite strange.
Xu Zhen said, “I contacted Brother Yang earlier, he seems to be being pursued!”
Qu Huachang was startled, “He is being pursued? By someone?”
Xu Zhen said, “A few of the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider’s enemies joined forces and ambushed them on the road. It took them quite some time to get here.”
Qu Huachang was stunned.
“Oh, he’s here.”
Xu Zhen suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, only to see a fierce aura rapidly approaching. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into the appearance of a beautiful young woman. The young woman was holding a person in her hand, who else could it be but Yang Kai?
At this moment, Yang Kai was like an octopus wrapped around the girl’s body, tightly hugging her as he complained, “Woman, why do you have so many enemies? How did you survive until now?”
Zhu Jiuyin sneered, “A few clowns trying to oppose this Queen? If it was a one-on-one fight, this Queen would have already killed them all.” As she spoke, she stared coldly at Yang Kai, “Why aren’t you letting go!”
Yang Kai came to a sudden realization and released his grip. Standing side by side with her in the air, he straightened his clothes and thought back to the bitter experiences they had encountered along the way.
Over the past month, they had encountered at least five waves of attacks. Several Holy Spirits had been lying in ambush along the way, fighting more than a dozen big and small battles, and the most dangerous one was being besieged by three Holy Spirits. Zhu Jiuyin was quite impressive, leading him to block these enemies and safely arriving here, but they had wasted a lot of time.
As soon as they arrived, another five powerful auras rushed over from behind them. These five Holy Spirits had all transformed into human forms. There were men and women, old and young, and all of them were staring at Zhu Jiuyin with hatred in their eyes.
Yang Kai’s heart pounded, “Senior, they’re chasing us, can you stop them?”
Zhu Jiuyin decisively replied, “I can’t!”
“Then we’ll be in danger.”
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn, “Let’s temporarily avoid this place and wait for it to open before coming here.”
“Don’t worry.”
Zhu Jiuyin comforted, “Now that we’re here, they won’t attack again.”
“Why?” Yang Kai was puzzled.
“They also have enemies, attacking here will only bring trouble to themselves!” Zhu Jiuyin sneered.
It was just as she had said, although the five Holy Spirits were all furious, none of them dared to attack Zhu Jiuyin again. Yang Kai also keenly felt a powerful aura lock onto these five Holy Spirits, which seemed to be the enemies Zhu Jiuyin had mentioned.
“Although they don’t dare attack me lightly, you must be careful not to be harmed by them,” Zhu Jiuyin warned Yang Kai, “Remember their auras. If you encounter their Bearer in the Unaging Land, kill them!”
Yang Kai frowned, “They also have a Bearer? Why haven’t I seen one?”
Zhu Jiuyin smiled lightly, “Naturally, they’re hiding in the crowd and unwilling to show themselves, but since they’ve come here, they must have already chosen a Bearer and won’t come empty-handed.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Understood.”
Turning his head to look behind him, Yang Kai was stunned. The door to the Unaging Land was filled with a myriad of phenomena and was a magnificent sight. The colorful lights constantly flickered and there was a profound mystery hidden within.
On the periphery of this Unaging Land, Holy Spirits with powerful auras each occupied their own territories. Some of them hid their Bearer in the crowd while others brought their Bearer to protect them.
Yang Kai was shocked. At a glance, there were at least fifty Holy Spirits gathered here!
What kind of terrifying force was this? These fifty Holy Spirits were equivalent to more than fifty High Rank Open Heaven Stage masters outside, and most of the Cave Heaven and Paradise probably didn’t have such a foundation.
Most of these Holy Spirits were in human form, some of them maintaining their original forms, each of them as large as a mountain and mighty as a mountain.
When Yang Kai saw the Leviathan Shark, this guy coldly stared at him without concealing his killing intent.
There were also Feiyi, One-Legged Bull, Zhu Yan, Bi Fang, Nu Fang…
Yang Kai had only heard of these Holy Spirits before, but had never seen them before. Today, his horizons had been broadened, causing Yang Kai to click his tongue in wonder.
These Holy Spirits is not the total number in the Great Ruins Boundary, Zhu Jiuyin had said before that some of the Holy Spirits here were content with the current situation and did not want to leave the Great Ruins Boundary, so naturally they would not come here.
However, what surprised Yang Kai was that he didn’t see the two Holy Spirits, Dragon and Phoenix. When he obtained the Earth Dragon's Dragon Bead on Hidden Dragon Mountain, he thought that there were Dragon Race existences in the Great Ruins Boundary, but now it seemed that the dead dragon was probably the only one.
This made him feel slightly regretful. These past few days, he had not made any kind of contract with Zhu Jiuyin because he wanted to see if he could find a Dragon here. If there was a Dragon here, he would have many better options.
