Chapter 1076: The Wastelands

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The mayor of Muhong City had perished in battle and large numbers of Muhong City cultivators had escaped in all directions. The Yingyun City crisis was finally over. After this war, there would most likely be very few people who would dare to set their eyes on Yingyun City.

Three days later, on a watchtower in Yingyun City...

It was drizzling and everywhere one looked, it was misty as though they were in a painting.

“Brother Mo Wen, won’t you stay a few more days in Yingyun City?”

Huai Hongxiu and a group of Yingyun City cultivators were sending Mo Wen off. Since the crisis was over, Mo Wen naturally would not continue staying in Yingyun City.

“I have other matters at hand, so I won’t be disturbing you any longer,” Mo Wen said calmly.

There was a look of disappointment in Huai Hongxiu’s eyes. However, she did not say anymore. She retrieved a sachet on a plate that the servant maid beside her was holding and gracefully presented it to Mo Wen.

“This was the sachet that my father brought back previously. The token is also inside. Now, it has returned to its rightful owner,” Huai Hongxiu said.

Mo Wen received the sachet. His deified soul scanned the insides of the sachet. This token was proof that he had completed his task.

A look of surprise flashed past in his eyes. The sachet was a storage treasure. Not only was there a token inside, but there was also a large number of vital stones. These vital stones piled up to form a small mountain. There were more than four million of them.

Vital stones were immortal cultivation resources that were beneficial to all immortal cultivators. Compared to spiritual stones, the effects of vital stones were much better. These stones were rare objects in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm because there was very little Vital Qi created in the Source World; vital pulses were basically extinct there. The Huatian Palace might control a few vital pulses but it was impossible for other sects to have access to them.

Currently, in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, all cultivators used spiritual stones to cultivate.

“Miss Huai...” Mo Wen looked at Huai Hongxiu. So many vital stones were a huge fortune. He never imagined that Yingyun City could actually produce so many vital stones. As expected, they were not just your average kind of wealthy. No wonder the mayor of Muhong City longed for this city so much.

“Brother Mo Wen, this is a small token of appreciation from our Yingyun City. Our Yingyun City owes you a life-saving debt. We truly do not know how to repay your kindness,” Huai Hongxiu said with a smile.

Presenting Mo Wen with so many vital stones was a unanimous decision that she and the upper echelons of the Yingyun City came up with after discussion. Although vital stones were precious, it was not a pity for them to give the stones to Mo Wen. To be able to befriend such a cultivator like Mo Wen was the good fortune of their Yingyun City. Moreover, aside from vital stones, there was indeed nothing else that their Yingyun City could offer him. Any treasure they had was most likely worthless before this youth.

“Rescuing Yingyun City was just me fulfilling a promise I made before. You do not need to give me these,” Mo Wen said calmly.

“Big Brother Mo Wen, please keep our gift. It will be awkward for us if you don’t accept it,” the Huai Clan second young mistress said very directly, not mincing words. She did not know how old Mo Wen was, but with his level of cultivation being so high, he must be older than her. In the Immortal Cultivation world, those with achievements held seniority.

The upper echelon members of Yingyun City also advised Mo Wen to accept their gift. Their Yingyun City still had some vital stones. It was because there was a vital pulse on Yingyun Island. This was also the reason why the mayor of Muhong City coveted Yingyun City.

Mo Wen sighed deeply. He then nodded his head and said, “If that is so, let me also give you a gift.”

As he said this, he took out a storage sack from his medicine spiritual ring and placed some things in the sack. However, he did not let other people see what the items were. He merely handed it over to Huai Hongxiu.

Huai Hongxiu subconsciously accepted the storage sack. Her deified soul scanned its insides. Her expression suddenly changed drastically. She exclaimed, “Spiritual...”

She had uttered this one word when she suddenly realized something, immediately swallowing the rest of her sentence. Only her eyes kept revealing looks of astonishment. It was as though she had seen something that she had never even dreamt of.

Spiritual Transforming Pearls!

There were actually the Spiritual Transforming Pearls of legend. These items were legendary items in the various realms. They were rather rare. Cultivators of her level only heard rumors about them but had never actually seen them before.

Spiritual Transforming Pearls contained pristine Creation Qi which could be refined into the Power of Creation of Heaven and Earth. Normally, Huai Hongxiu would not even dare to think of items of this caliber.

“Brother Mo Wen, this... I cannot accept this gift. It is too precious.”

The hand that Huai Hongxiu held the storage sack with was trembling slightly. It was just a storage sack that was as light as a feather, but right now, it gave her pressure equivalent to that of a mountain. If word of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls got out, just one was enough to plunge the entire Ziya Territorial Waters into a bloodbath. In the storage sack in her hands, there were five Spiritual Transforming Pearls.

“There is no reason for me to take back what I have already given away. This item should be very important for you right now. It’s getting late. Farewell.”

Mo Wen calmly left behind these words. With a flash, his silhouette became a beam of flowing light that disappeared into the horizon. With a few flickers, he had disappeared from their sight. magic

For Mo Wen, he had so many Spiritual Transforming Pearls to the point that he was already numb to them. Giving Huai Hongxiu five of them was nothing. If it was someone close to him, he would have given them hundreds, even thousands of Spiritual Transforming Pearls. Right now, for Huai Hongxiu, the Spiritual Transforming Pearls were indeed rather important. Although Yingyun City had overcome their crisis and there would most likely not be any invasions in the immediate future, their peace was not assured in the long run.

After all, Yingyun Island had vital pulses. Countless people would have their sights on them. If Yingyun City had no Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators to hold the fort, sooner or later there would be others like the mayor of Muhong City who would invade them.

Huai Hongxiu was only a step away from the Supreme Profundity Realm. With the Spiritual Transforming Pearls’ Power of Creation, as long as her qualifications were not too shabby, she could most likely use them to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm in one shot.

Only by reaching the Supreme Profundity Realm could she guarantee that Yingyun City could be peaceful for a long time.

Huai Hongxiu gazed in silence in the direction that Mo Wen disappeared into. She did not say anything for a long while.

“Elder sister, what is inside?” The Huai Clan second young mistress asked curiously as her little head-butted over. What treasure had caused her own elder sister to forget herself?

“Little sister, I am going into seclusion for a while. I will leave Yingyun City to you and Elder Xue to manage. I hope you can grow up a little. Don’t be too capricious.”

Huai Hongxiu regained her senses and dotingly patted her little sister on the head.

“How am I capricious? Sister, it was I who brought Big Brother Mo to Yingyun City. I am a major contributor,” the Huai Clan second young mistress said, dissatisfied. She did not think that she was capricious.

“Alright, you are a contributor.”

Huai Hongxiu smiled slightly and turned to walk into the city. Her mind seemed to be elsewhere; her hand kept clenching the storage sack.

The Huai Clan second young mistress kept staring at the storage sack. Seeing that her elder sister had no intention of telling her what was inside, she was also clever enough to not ask.

The surrounding upper echelon members of Yingyun City were also looking curiously at the storage sack, wondering what was inside. Everyone knew that the item in the storage sack would not be simple. After all, it was an item that was given by Mo Wen. However, no one dared to step forward and ask about it. They could only suppress their curiosity.

A beam of blue light shot across the sky, instantly traversing hundreds and thousands of miles. According to the instructions inside the crystal ball, after obtaining the token, Mo Wen could go straight to the Sorcerer God Temple to hand it over.

There were many Sorcerer God Temples in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. The Ruyun Territorial Waters had one that was situated in Yunhong City.

After less than an hour, Mo Wen reached Yunhong City and entered the Sorcerer God Temple.

Two days later, in the wilderness, a beam of light tore open space. A tall and straight silhouette walked out from the darkness. It was a very ordinary-looking youth. It was Mo Wen.

He took a step out and looked at his surroundings.

“The Savage Qi in this place is very rich. As expected, it is very different from the Sorcerer Domain.”

There were many members of the Sorcerer Clan living within the Sorcerer Domain. They had lived there for generations just like they did in the Magical Realm. However, in the wastelands, there lived many savage ancient beasts. The chances of encountering a member of the Sorcerer Clan were very slim. This place was fraught with danger; it was the most dangerous place in the entire Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.

Rumor has it that the Sorcerer Clan’s Moon Maidens were cultivated in these wastelands using an elimination method. It was rather cruel.

Only when preliminary cultivators from the outside entered the wastelands were they officially participating in the Sorcerer Clan’s Moon Maiden preliminaries. Of course, all the preliminary cultivators’ starting positions were in relatively safer domains of the wastelands; they would not be allowed into the truly dangerous areas.

With a flick of Mo Wen’s wrist, a black insignia with ancient runes floating on it appeared in his hand. The black insignia emanated a very strange aura. He did not know how the insignia was made. The Sorcerer Clan called it the Savage Qi Harvesting Insignia. As the name suggested, cultivators could use it to harvest Savage Qi from savage ancient beasts.

Once he arrived here, it meant that the preliminaries had begun. His task was to kill savage ancient beasts and gather their Savage Qi. Once the Savage Qi Harvesting Insignia was full, he could pass the first stage of the Sorcerer Clan Preliminaries.

In the first stage, cultivators from the various realms would not be able to encounter the Moon Maiden candidates. Only during the second stage would they gradually encounter the Moon Maiden candidates cultivated by the Sorcerer Clan one after another.

“Isn’t the task just about killing savage ancient beasts? This shouldn’t be difficult.”

Mo Wen pondered to himself. Savage ancient beasts were ancient creatures that had existed since the Immemorial Age. Rumor has it that they were one of the most ancient living creatures in the world.

During the Immemorial Age, the savage ancient beasts were rather frightening. Some incredible savage ancient beasts could destroy the heavens and the earth. They hunted Divine Dragons as prey. There were even some special savage ancient beasts that only ate the liver of dragons and the gall bladders of phoenixes.

However, after generations, the world had changed and all creatures born would eventually die off. Pure savage ancient beasts were rare now. Ever since the Ancient Age, savage ancient beasts had stepped down from the stage of history.

The savage ancient beasts that currently lived in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield were mostly the bloodlines propagated by their descendants.

Mo Wen stepped in the air and walked step by step deeper into the wastelands. The deeper he ventured, the more savage ancient beasts there were.

After flying for thousands of miles, Mo Wen discovered that there were many ancient beasts living on the ground. However, he did not attack them. The levels of cultivation of these ancient beasts were too low. It was meaningless to kill them.

Since the Sorcerer Clan carried out the trial here, it was impossible for them to pass the trial just by killing low-rank ancient beasts.

Roar!

Suddenly, in the forest below, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth sounded. The roar was imposing and caused the ground a thousand miles around to tremble violently.

In the ancient forest, birds and beasts alike were sent into a frenzied panic, escaping in all directions.

“Huh?”

Mo Wen, who was passing by, looked down. He saw a huge ancient beast standing in the mountain forest, majestically roaring.

The appearance of the ancient beast was very similar to that of a saber-toothed tiger. However, it had a pair of wings growing on its back. Its body was also hairless, covered with dark brown scales instead. Under the sunlight, it emanated a very sinister glow.
