Frost Star Empire
Hiss!
The Black Mo Cult felt a sharp pain in his lower body; he could feel his bones being shattered.
The pain kept stimulating his brain.
Who exactly is that person?
When the Black Mo Cult thought of that terrifying guy Qin Yan, he couldn't recall ever provoking such a powerful enemy.
At that moment, he felt a terrifying force gripping his neck, lifting him up.
"You..."
Qin Yan applied a little force, and with a snap, the other person's neck was crushed!
Knowing that the other person's life force has completely disappeared!
His body fell to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh, but his soul was firmly imprisoned by Qin Yan!
"Soul Reading!"
Qin Yan immediately used his ability to forcibly read the other party's memories.
Ahh!
The Black Mo Cult's soul was twitching incessantly, and his memories appeared before Qin Yan like a series of images.
In this memory, he caught a glimpse of a figure!
His aura left a particularly deep impression on people.
"Found it!"
Qin Yan's lips curled up slightly; the Black Mo Cult's ability to control ghosts didn't surprise him.
The most important thing is the method the other party used to control ghosts, which is clearly not something that exists in this era.
Absolutely brilliant!
It's also too complete.
This has led him to suspect that there are other people secretly manipulating the Black Mo Cult.
Now, reading the memories of the Black Mo Cult, along with the Demon Infant Vine, has confirmed his suspicions.
The Little Jade Turtle once said that the Demon Infant Vine is no ordinary plant, especially since this world has experienced the Era of Spiritual Isolation.
It's simply impossible for something like the Demon Infant Vine to be born.
The only possibility is that it was brought in from outside!
To the west of the Great Li Dynasty lies a continuous desert with an extremely arid environment.
But that doesn't mean there weren't other dynasties!
Vast stretches of desert truly isolated them from communication.
The person behind the Black Mo Cult should also be at the Fifth Realm, based on their recovery status.
Most likely at the Fifth Realm Initial Stage, less likely at the Fifth Realm Middle Stage!
Judging from the methods used against the Black Mo Cult, the other party must be proficient in ghost control techniques.
They should be better at magical spells and supernatural abilities; they could try melee combat.
"Master, the situation regarding the Black Mo Cult has been largely resolved."
I haven't touched those kids yet.
What do you think we should do?
Even the Zheshen Ghost said it!
"You did a good job."
Qin Yan smiled faintly and handed the soul in his hand to the other party.
"This is what I gave you last time."
Qin Yan thought for a moment about the brainwashed children, "Erase their memories and take them back to the Wu Kingdom to be raised."
These kids all have good potential.
With proper nurturing, they can have a bright future.
The Black Mo Cult were almost entirely wiped out, but ordinary people were not seriously harmed.
These people all looked extremely terrified; the mysterious and powerful divine messengers had all perished.
Many people turned pale, fearing they would be next.
It took less than two months!
Qin Yan completely occupied the entire Western Desert, and the ordinary people of Moonlight Lake were also relocated.
As for those die-hard followers of the Black Demon Cult, they were all taken by the company for mining or land reclamation!
Particularly stubborn direct euthanasia.
Qin Yan's Wu Kingdom now controls three provinces, second only to Great Li.
The three major immortal sects all acquiesced to Qin Yan's actions, especially after learning about the situation in the outer realms.
They basically don't manage the mundane affairs much.
As long as their fundamental interests are not affected, they don't care how much trouble Qin Yan causes them.
Even if they were to give up the entire Great Li to Qin Yan, they wouldn't feel any burden.
They are here waiting for the Immortal Palace to descend upon them more than a decade from now!
The reason for needing to master the mundane world!
The appearance of the Immortal Palace would not cause any major celestial phenomena.
It only forms a passage between heaven and earth, a special existence that cannot be detected even by divine sense.
It can only be seen with the eyes.
Therefore, they needed to rely on the power of the mortal dynasty to find out the location of the Immortal Palace passage as soon as possible.
Qin Yan has already reached a cooperation agreement with those individuals, forming an alliance.
Once the Immortal Palace passage is located, the location will be shared with others.
All of this is due to external pressure.
If the opportunities within the Immortal Palace were to become known to outsiders, it would be a huge problem for them.
According to the memories of the Black Mo Cult!
Qin Yan traversed hundreds of thousands of miles of desert, at the end of which lay an inland sea!
A magnificent and vast empire arose here.
Frost Star Empire!
The entire inland sea stretches over 30,000 li from east to west, and contains countless islands.
This country is also known as the Land of a Thousand Islands, with its center located on a huge island in the sea.
Although this country is called an empire, it is more like a feudal system!
Beneath this empire lie many kingdoms, and the nominal supreme ruler is Emperor Froststar!
Imperial Frontier!
Many cultivators sensed that the Spiritual Qi in the world seemed to have disappeared, becoming extremely thin.
Qin Yan has been collecting Spirit Crystals along the way!
After all, he still had a mountain of debt on his hands.
The decrease in Spiritual Qi made all living beings within a thousand miles feel uneasy.
A massive fortress appeared before Qin Yan.
Behind it lies a lush, green mountain range, brimming with endless vitality.
The towering city walls bear the marks of various battles.
Some of the huge claw marks were even clearly visible!
The desert that Qin Yan traversed was also known as the Sand Sea.
The reason why such a huge fortress was built on the border is because many ferocious beasts are hidden in this Sand Sea!
Although the environment here is extremely harsh, it is dotted with various oases, which have given rise to many powerful and ferocious beasts that live here!
Qin Yan had also seen many ferocious beasts, which were relatively large in size.
These giant beasts possess unique physiological structures, making them extremely drought-resistant. They can survive in the desert for a long time with only a small amount of water.
This place boasts a unique ecosystem.
Small animals or insects feed on vegetation; they belong to the bottom layer of the entire ecosystem and are also a crucial link.
The large population size supports the entire ecosystem.
Giant beasts are undoubtedly at the top of the food chain, and they have extremely long lifespans.
It takes at least several decades or even hundreds of years for them to grow into giant beasts.
This long cycle ensures the balance of the entire ecosystem.
But most of them grew up from small individuals.
They are all creatures that have broken through the limits of the human body!
Only a small number of apex species are born at the top of the entire system.
The larger the animal, the more prey it needs.
The behemoths constantly migrate, and the existence of the border fortresses is to prevent these behemoths from rushing into the empire!
That's why enormous resources were spent building the Man Fortress to prevent the invasion of giant beasts.
Similarly, the strong within the empire also consider slaying giant beasts an honor.
Every day, cultivators come to the border to undergo trials in the Sand Sea!
More importantly, the giant beast itself also has immense value, with some body parts possessing significant medicinal value.
In extremely rare cases, a special mineral known as the Sacred Stone may even be produced within the body!
