Chapter 795: Chapter 417 Leaving the Nine Mountain Realm, Wandering the Wilderness Alone_2
"In that case, I will wait for your item to arrive and see if I am satisfied."
The Wind Spirit Tiger nodded in agreement.
Why not accept something that\'s free?
As for making a move?
The Red Cat junior brother did say, "Try your best" would suffice. After all, as the Wind Spirit King, every time he went out it was quite a grand event, so it would be normal for him to be a bit slow.
As for the escape of the targets, that would be due to the lack of preparation on Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow\'s part, and not an issue for him, the Tiger King of the Wind Spirits.
Tian Shiqi had no idea what the Wind Spirit Tiger was thinking, so he left, contented, preparing for the next schemes and actions, laughing coldly to himself. With Xu Yan and Meng Chong dying at the hands of the Wind Spirit Tiger, a great battle would surely erupt.
How could the Wind Spirit Tiger withstand the revenge?
In the end, he would have no choice but to seek refuge with Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow and be at their beck and call.
...
"Tian Shiqi, I will remember you. Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow still refuses to give up, huh, heh!"
A flash of cold light appeared in Xu Yan\'s eyes.
Glancing at the message from the Red Cat, he understood the situation.
After these days of settling, Meng Chong made a breakthrough to the minor achievement stage in the Physiognomy Realm, and Xu Yan also saw not a small advancement. Although there was still some distance to the major achievement stage of the Physiognomy Realm, it no longer seemed so far off.
The use of Divine Skills had also improved significantly after battling the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
"Fifth Junior Brother, what are your plans next?" Xu Yan looked to Jiang Buping and asked.
"I want to advance my strength more quickly, and need the insights gained from battle, as well as the Imperishable Qi for cultivating Extreme Soul Martial Arts; therefore, I plan to go to other realms and train in the Imperishable Heaven Cave," Jiang Buping thought for a moment and said.
He would return to the Taikun Realm one day, but not now. His strength was not yet sufficient to wash away the disgrace!
"What about first senior brother and second senior brother? Continue to wander in the Nine Mountain Realm?"
Xu Yan shook his head, "The Nine Mountain Realm is no longer interesting. The Divine Realm is so immense, why linger in the Nine Mountain Realm? We should travel through the Divine Domain, and comprehend the myriad things of the world."
Meng Chong touched his head and let out a hehe laugh; "I\'m planning to make my way to the Da Yan Realm and look for some old acquaintances."
"Fifth Junior Brother, let\'s meet again in the Taikun Realm. Your eldest brother will come to Taikun Realm to help you avenge your past humiliation," Xu Yan said smilingly.
"Me too, I will surely go to the Taikun Realm. Let\'s make a pact to reunite in the Taikun Realm!" Meng Chong also nodded, smiling.
"Thank you, both senior brothers. Then, let\'s reunite in the Taikun Realm!" Jiang Buping expressed his thanks.
The Nine Mountain Realm was merely a short segment on the martial path of the three men. No matter what Tian Shiqi, Thousand Layered Mountain, or Horizontal Peak Mountain had planned, the three were no longer willing to accompany them any further.
The chaos of the Divine Realm was also the time for prodigies to make a name for themselves. In the eyes of the three men, these undying Heavenly Venerables were nothing more than grasshoppers jumping around for a moment.
Jiang Buping left. Instead of using the Realm Gate of the Nine Mountain Realm to head to the next realm, he crossed the wilderness directly into the next realm.
At the Nine Mountain Realm Gate, Xuezhi and the Immortal Heavenly Venerable were still confronting each other, and with powers like Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow actively searching for the trio, the gates were undoubtedly sealed.
For Jiang Buping, crossing the wilderness to the next realm was also a form of martial arts training, only taking more time to cross a realm and enter the next one.
"Second Senior Brother, see you in the Taikun Realm!" Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Greetings from Taikun Realm!"
Meng Chong touched his bald head and said with a smile.
The two brothers, once again parting ways, each set out on their own martial arts journey.
However, this time they both had Communication Talismans to stay in touch, no matter where in the Divine Realm they were, they could communicate and share what they had seen and heard.
In the Thirty-Six Realms of the Divine Realm, the lands connecting the realms are vast wildernesses. Aside from crossing through Realm Gates, one\'s only option is to traverse the vast wilderness.
Even for an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, crossing the vast wilderness requires a considerable amount of time. For this reason, transit between realms is typically done through Realm Gates, which are convenient and efficient.
The vast wilderness is empty and devoid of life, as if not even a single insect exists. Traveling through such a place can make one uneasy, instilling a sense of boundless loneliness.
There are rumors that a True King Heavenly Venerable, while crossing the wilderness, was driven mad by the desolation and loneliness and became a lunatic.
It took a long time for him to gradually recover.
The desolation of the wilderness, so stark that even the will of a steadfast martial artist can scarcely bear it, means that few dare venture into the wilderness, and almost none cross it.
It has been advised by Supreme Experts that the Principles of heaven and earth in the wilderness are imbued with loneliness and sorrow, which can affect martial artists who pass through. Those without firm resolve may end up mentally disturbed by the solitude.
In the desolate wilderness, a lone figure walked, his gaze stretching out to a horizon devoid of smoke from chimneys, vegetation, or even the sound of an insect\'s chirp.
"I once read about the wilderness in the archives of the Taikun Jiang Clan in Taikun Realm. It is said to be a forgotten place after a great change in heaven and earth when the Divine Realm was divided into the Thirty-Six Realms. It is also known as the Land of the Forgotten.
"The Principles of heaven and earth in the Land of the Forgotten are lonely and sorrowful. There are also rumors that the existence of the wilderness itself is to commemorate a certain being..."
Jiang Buping walked through the wilderness, communicating with his eldest and second brothers via the Communication Talisman.
"Besides bordering Qinghua state, the Nine Mountain Realm also borders Changyun Realm and Yuanping Realm. If I cross the wilderness from this side, I will reach Yuanping Realm while you and second brother are crossing the wilderness towards Changyun Realm."
The wilderness was lonely, and Jiang Buping walked alone, with a sense of desolation filling the space between heaven and earth.
"When crossing the wilderness, one cannot fly through the air. It\'s rumored that flying presents unknown dangers, and even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable is prone to accidents, so crossing the wilderness is done on the ground."
Jiang Buping shared the hearsay he had come across regarding the vast wilderness between the realms.
Having once been part of the Taikun Jiang Clan, he had seen many texts, including some concerning the wilderness.
"I read in a travel journal that there are dangers in the wilderness too. Someone entered an ancient tomb in the wilderness and encountered an unidentified skeleton, only to meet with disaster. Their flesh vanished, leaving them a skeletal figure.
"Moreover, they would become delirious and bloodthirsty at intervals, eventually being killed."
As Jiang Buping spoke of the travel journals he had read, he continued to communicate: "When traversing the wilderness, one must not be too curious or be led astray by any treasures seen. Just cross the wilderness directly and do not venture into strange places."
The deepening wilderness evoked an increasing sense of loneliness, as an aura of solitude seemed to permeate the very fabric of heaven and earth.
Although Jiang Buping was walking on the ground, his pace was swift. He did not gaze out at the seemingly boundless wilderness but focused on the Communication Talisman, which allowed him not to succumb to loneliness.
The more one gazed out into the wilderness, the more one was likely to feel lonely and pessimistic.
Apart from exchanging messages with his eldest and second brothers, he naturally communicated with his third senior sister and fourth senior brother who were far away in Qinghua state.
Walking alone in the wilderness, especially when night fell, the silence was profound, with not even a gentle breeze remaining. In such an environment, even martial artists might experience negative emotions.
Jiang Buping looked up at the dark wilderness and took out a moonstone whose faint silver light illuminated a small area around him.
He sat down cross-legged, "The wilderness at night has a certain chance of causing one to lose their way, so it\'s better to cultivate at night and continue on the journey when daylight breaks."
In the dark wilderness, only the faint light from Jiang Buping\'s location was visible, seeming utterly minuscule in the vast darkness.
After setting up a warning formation, Jiang Buping began to cultivate, waiting for dawn to resume his journey.
How long had passed was uncertain when suddenly a howling wind began to blow in the distance, shattering the dark silence of the wilderness.
Jiang Buping abruptly awoke, immediately put away the moonstone, and concealed his presence, blending into the dark. After a brief hesitation, he waved his hand to collect the formation and quietly moved to another spot.
Whoosh!
The sound of the howling wind rose again, getting closer, yet no wind could be felt brushing against him.
"There\'s a wind sound in the wilderness, and I saw a green flame leaping about, resembling a human face."
The message came through the Communication Talisman from his eldest brother.
