Chapter 338: Chapter 184: Ye Bai’s Downfall, The Birth of Beings in the Heart Realm

Translator: 549690339

The sun sets on the West Mountain, thin mist under the rosy clouds.

Jiang Ming invited Wang Qiutong into his house, and straightly asked, “Between us, what is there to hesitate about?”

“I’m afraid of disturbing your cultivation, but you’re the most suitable candidate.” Wang Qiutong forced a bitter smile. “During these two months, I’ve nearly finished the fundamental courses, and in deep contemplation, I realized that I should be able to leave the city without any trouble relying on my own abilities. It just so happened that Liu Ruyan had the same idea, so we decided to travel together. That’s when we encountered Ye Bai. After hearing our plans, he decided to come along with us.”

“In the Lost Land, any power beyond the Ninth Realm will be weakened. The three of us working together should be more than enough to handle it.” “Indeed, we encountered numerous wandering creatures and monsters which we were able to easily dispatch.”

“We also wanted to see for ourselves what kind of transformations occur at the stroke of midnight, so we didn’t return that night.”

“Nothing seemed to change at midnight, yet our perception of Xuanhuang City suddenly became extremely distant – we estimated it to be at least thirty thousand kilometers.”

“In a snap, we were thirty thousand kilometers away.”

“We were all stunned!”

“We quickly surveyed our surroundings and found that, while the environment within a hundred meters hadn’t changed much, anything beyond that was completely different.”

“However, the overall environment matched perfectly.”

“Unbelievable.”

“Incredible!”

“More than anything else, we were shocked!”

“We didn’t even notice any spatial fluctuations; we were instantaneously transported through space, an act beyond mortal capability.”

Wang Qiutong spoke slowly, her voice filled with amazement and excitement.

Following that, they examined their surroundings and discovered an extraordinary race residing underground. Their form resembled a human’s, but they were incredibly diminutive and reeked of a foul smell.

This was the Goblin Race.

When the goblins noticed them, they began to attack. However, they were exterminated by Wang Qiutong and her companions.

The three of them agreed to return to Xuanhuang City based on their instincts, but instead came across a magical mountain peak.

“Even though it was covered in mist, we could still see bursts of divine light from the mountain peak from time to time. We could smell a sweet fragrance pervading the air, which refreshed our spirits even at our cultivation level,” Wang Qiutong’s voice dropped a few notches, “back then, many creatures were attracted and entered into the mountain. We took the opportunity to slay many troublesome foreign races. They were not strong, mostly only in the fifth or sixth realm.”

“We stopped there.”

“It was clear that the mountain was displaced from elsewhere, nurturing treasures within. At the very least, we were certain there was a great elixir pill growing inside that enticed us profoundly.”

“Moreover, the foreign races that entered weren’t strong, and there was no dangerous aura inside. After a brief discussion, we decided to venture in.”

Wang Qiutong sipped her tea from time to time while holding her cup.

As she stepped onto the mountain, she had an unusual feeling she couldn’t quite express, but left her somewhat uneasy.

However, those with great skill possess great courage. The combined strength of the three of them could defeat even the average Ninth Realm Powerful, so they pressed on.

The mountain road was narrow.

They tried to fly but discovered that there was a restrictive force in the void, making it impossible to move freely. At that moment, they began to feel anxious.

Yet, their youth and curiosity prompted them to keep moving forward.

They clearly saw a white wolf trying to jump across from the other side, but was abruptly killed by a beam of divine light.

“That beam of light contained the power of a formation pattern, comparable to an attack from a Ninth Realm Powerful. The three of us hesitated once again!” Wang Qiutong said, “But when we turned around, we found that the path was shrouded in mist and we could no longer see the route we had taken.”

Looking ahead, she saw a faint treasure light – that was a great elixir pill.

The Nine-fold Heavenly Plant.

This spiritual plant was very peculiar, its leaves were like palaces, radiating treasure light.

It grows a leaf every ten years, nine leaves make a branch; with nine branches, there are eighty-one leaves. Like a stacked palace, it emits a divine light equivalent of the heavenly palace in the nine-fold sky.

“In that moment, I was thrilled.” Wang Qiutong suppressed her fluctuating emotions, reliving the scene from the past, “The Herb Knowledge Book mentions that the Nine-fold Heavenly Plant contains tremendous cosmic energy. It matures after nearly a thousand years, and once it’s fully grown, consuming its leaves not only purifies the soul and enhances the origin of the soul, but also generates a method of soul defense, the Heavenly engraved pattern, which can ward off some soul-related attacks. We were overjoyed, yet cautious.”

On the mountain road.

The three of them stopped.

In the end, Wang Qiutong activated her divine eye to observe; it was not an illusion, and no hidden forces were detected. However, just as they were about to move forward, a horse sprang up from the side, ridden by a powerful general in black armor, exuding a shocking Killing Qi.

However, beneath him was a Skeleton Horse, with green flames flickering in the eye sockets, exhaling fire from its mouth; the general sitting on it did not have a head, but held a long spear in his hand.

The battle horse arrived nearby and uprooted the Nine-fold Heavenly Plant, galloping up the mountain.

“Leave it behind!”

Ye Bai immediately got anxious, shouted, and pounced towards him. The Headless General didn’t turn around, but the spear in his hand swiftly stabbed backward, causing the void to collapse under the spear tip.

In a blink of an eye, the void exploded.

Ye Bai was utterly fearless and pursued to fight, disappearing into the depths of the mountain in an instant.

“That youngster…” Wang Qiutong was anxious and hurriedly chased after him, only to find that the power fluctuations from the battle were getting farther and farther away, occasionally disappearing, and when they appeared again, they were on the other side, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Liu Ruyan didn’t know what to do either.

For a moment, the two of them were left frozen in place.
