Arrival in the Northern Xuan Region
The Xuan Domain is divided into four directions: east, west, south, and north. Each region is vast and boundless, forming its own system of worlds. However, although these four regions are located on the same continent, they are extremely far apart.
Furthermore, within this Xuan Domain, there are Myriad Mountains stretch from south to north, winding and twisting like a giant dragon lying between heaven and earth, perfectly cleaving these four domains apart. Crossing these Myriad Mountains is by no means something that ordinary experts can accomplish.
The Eastern Xuan Region and the Northern Xuan Region are separated by a barrier. Even for those with considerable skill, it would take at least two or three months to traverse between them, and that's assuming they don't encounter the numerous ferocious monsters lurking within these Myriad Mountains.
Furthermore, those Myriad Mountains are shrouded in a miasma formed by the convergence of the primordial energy of heaven and earth all year round. If one tries to cross them without some skill, one will likely lose one's way and turn into countless white bones in those Myriad Mountains.
Faced with such a journey and dangers, Lin Langtian naturally felt extremely troubled, but fortunately, he now possessed the Space Ancestral Talisman.
Although recklessly tearing through space to enter the Northern Xuan Region would lead to the trouble of not knowing where one would end up, since things have come to this point, there is no better way to save time.
As for why Lin Langtian went to the Northern Xuan Region, it was naturally not to follow Tian Yuanzi's orders to assassinate Qing Tan, but because he had his own reasons.
First, the Mental Map obtained from the Lin City Symbol Master Tower recorded the location of a Pure Origin Treasure, the ' Stillness Divine Tablet,' which was located in the Northern Xuan Region.
Now he possesses the Space Ancestral Talisman, Space Ancestral Talisman him control over the Spatial Power. Whether it's Spatial Movement or Blade of Space, his methods are impossible to defend against.
If combined with the ' Stillness Divine Tablet ' that can instantly freeze people, the two together would likely be enough to instantly kill even a powerful Life Profound Stage Great Success Lin Langtian, catching them off guard. Such power naturally tempted him.
Apart from the Stillness Divine Tablet, the rest of the matters are all closely related to Qing Tan.
He had promised to help Zhou Tong revive and restore his physical body, so Lin Langtian naturally wanted to give his all for the opportunity to bring the owner of this Space Ancestral Talisman under his command.
As Zhou Tong is a Samsara Stage expert, and his Nascent Soul has been severely damaged, Lin Langtian only wants one way to quickly revive him: rely on the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill.
The Life-Death Reincarnation Pill an ultra-high-grade healing pill. As long as there is still a breath left, even if the heart is broken, it can be saved. It can only be refined by a Samsara Stage expert who has comprehended the cycle of life and death. On the Ancient Battlefield of the Hundred Dynasties War, Little Vixen's Heavenly Demon Marten body was restored by eating the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill.
Zhou Tong's situation was quite similar to Little Vixen's; both had their physical bodies destroyed, leaving only their Nascent Soul and Demon Spirit. Therefore, Lin Langtian immediately thought of the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill.
However, this pill is extremely precious. Even within the Yuan Sect, Lin Langtian couldn't find it. Of course, it's also possible that Tian Yuanzi and his Three Old Dogs deliberately hid it.
However, regardless of the circumstances, obtaining the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill within the Yuan Sect is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, Lin Langtian only had two options. The first option was to find an Ancient Sects ruin similar to Ancient Battlefield and see if he could find a Life-Death Reincarnation Pill in the ruin.
The second option is to visit those forces that are highly likely to possess the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill and request one.
After much deliberation, Lin Langtian decisively chose the second method. After all, compared to exploring ruins in a vague and unpredictable way that relied entirely on luck, the second method was obviously more practical.
As for which forces possess the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill and which Lin Langtian has the opportunity to obtain, Lin Langtian naturally thought of the Darkness Hall first.
First of all, the Darkness Hall, as the undisputed overlord and long-established power of the Northern Xuan Region, has a very deep foundation. According to the original work, the founder of the Darkness Hall should be the second-generation owner of the Dark Ancestral Symbol.
Moreover, the Dark Ancestral Symbol is different from other Ancestral Talisman. Other Ancestral Talisman were scattered throughout the world and obtained by other powerful beings when their respective masters fell into slumber. However, the Dark Ancestral Symbol Dark Ancestral Symbol is different. Since it fell into the hands of the second generation and was used to establish the Darkness Hall, the Dark Ancestral Symbol has remained in the Darkness Hall and has been passed down to this day.
Furthermore, the Northern Xuan Region is no less vast than the Eastern Xuan Region, but the Darkness Hall is the undisputed ruler of this vast area. No force here can shake their foundation, which is obviously very different from the multi-powered state of the Eastern Xuan Region. This also reflects the strength of the Darkness Hall from another perspective.
Lin Langtian even vaguely remembered that there were ancient monsters and two peak experts who had entered the Reincarnation Stage Realm in the Darkness Hall. Such terrifying strength had already left Yuan Sect far behind. This was probably why Tian Yuanzi and the other two were so wary of Qing Tan.
After all, once Qing Tan takes control of the behemoth that is the Darkness Hall, it will obviously deal a fatal blow to the Yuan Sect.
Therefore, if we look at the entire continent and consider which forces possess the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill, the Darkness Hall would definitely rank very high.
Furthermore, the connection with Qing Tan was also the reason why Lin Langtian dared to come and ask for it. As the most beloved disciple of Bo Xuan, the Hall Master the Darkness Hall, Qing Tan's power in the Darkness Hall was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In addition, if Lin Langtian could obtain the support and assistance of the Darkness Hall through Qing Tan to establish his own power, it would undoubtedly be much more effective.
Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian looked north, took a deep breath, and then, with a thought, the space in front of him gradually distorted. In the next instant, Lin Langtian disappeared and reappeared a hundred miles away.
Within the Myriad Mountains.
Lin Langtian stood on a large tree, gazing into the distance. However, the thick, almost viscous, Yuan Qi mist reduced his visibility to a minimum. At this moment, if Lin Langtian did not still have Mental Power to use, he would probably find it difficult to move an inch.
"As expected of the perilous barriers of the Eastern Xuan Region and Northern Xuan Region, these Myriad Mountains are truly extraordinary..." Lin Langtian murmured solemnly as he gazed at everything before him.
Although he possessed the Space Ancestral Talisman, due to his limited strength, he was unable to traverse such a vast distance and directly tear through space to reach the Northern Xuan Region. Therefore, he ended up in these Myriad Mountains.
And after tearing through space several times, as night fell, Lin Langtian finally witnessed the immense size of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Each time he traveled through space, he covered hundreds of miles, but even after several such trips, he was still in the midst of the Myriad Mountains Myriad Mountains, the vastness of which was unimaginable.
"Alright, let's rest for a bit and set off tomorrow."
Looking at the thick Yuan energy mist and the pitch-black night, Lin Langtian frowned slightly. He then found a secluded cave to rest for the night before continuing his journey the next day.
As night falls in these Myriad Mountains, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes even more abundant, which also makes the condensed spiritual power even more concentrated.
In this fog, even Mental Power was somewhat hindered. Therefore, Lin Langtian did not continue his journey at night, lest he accidentally travel to the lair of a Beast King.
The following morning, as the first rays of sunlight appeared, Lin Langtian roused himself and once again embarked on his journey to the Northern Xuan Region.
The Myriad Mountains stretched endlessly, and as Lin Langtian traversed the space, he ventured deeper and deeper, encountering numerous dangers along the way.
These Myriad Mountains are home to numerous ferocious demonic beasts, some of which possess terrifying strength, even rivaling some of the top experts in the Demon Domain.
During one of his spatial journeys, Lin Langtian accidentally stepped into the territory of a demon beast at the Samsara Stage Realm level, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Spirit Aunt released the aura of her Nine Nether Flame Sparrow spirit beast, which scared away the demon beast at the Samsara Stage level. Otherwise, Lin Langtian would probably have become its meal.
Having experienced this extremely dangerous situation, Lin Langtian became much more cautious when traversing space again.
However, it wasn't all bad news during this period. At least Lin Langtian found that his mastery of the Space Ancestral Talisman was becoming more and more proficient. Although he was still not as good as Zhou Tong, he had made great progress compared to when he first obtained the Space Ancestral Talisman.
One day, Lin Langtian might even surpass Zhou Tong and the Lord of Space in his mastery of Spatial Power.
After carefully traversing this space, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, Lin Langtian's figure once again mysteriously disappeared from the spot.
When Lin Langtian opened his eyes, he was slightly taken aback, because what came into view was an extremely flat and dense forest.
Not only were there no towering, steep mountains here, but even the almost viscous Yuan Qi mist had disappeared, making Lin Langtian feel slightly uncomfortable.
"This... this is the Northern Xuan Region?" As if he had thought of something, Lin Langtian was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.
It seems he has finally escaped those Myriad Mountains.
The vastness of the Myriad Mountains was beyond Lin Langtian's expectations. Even with the help of the Space Ancestral Talisman, it took him two days to finally emerge from the Myriad Mountains.
Standing outside those Myriad Mountains, Lin Langtian looked at the towering primitive mountain range behind him, which seemed to cut off the sky, and couldn't help but let out a soft breath. Then, he circulated his Mental Power and left a spatial imprint in this area.
In that case, when they become stronger in the future and want to come back, they can instantly tear through space by relying on the spatial imprints they left behind, which would be much more efficient.
Stretching and gazing at the jungle before him, Lin Langtian felt much more relaxed after successfully arriving in the Northern Xuan Region.
The next step was to head to the Darkness City, the headquarters of the Darkness Hall, to meet with Qing Tan first.
If Lin Langtian could find the Stillness Divine Tablet and the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill, and also secure sponsorship from the Darkness Hall, then his trip would be a complete success.
Just as Lin Langtian was making his plans, he suddenly sensed something, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked to his left.
In the jungle, a petite figure was seen running in a disheveled state, her body covered in wounds, blood dripping down as she ran, staining the ground red.
Swish!
As she ran forward, the sound of wind breaking followed closely behind. A dozen or so dark figures rode on tall horses at high speed, and a chilling killing intent emanated from their bodies.
Call out!
A streak of black light, riding a demonic warhorse, suddenly swept in from behind, ruthlessly striking the leg of the figure in front.
A painful cry rang out, and the figure in front of her fell to the ground in a disheveled state. She hurriedly propped herself up, her eyes filled with despair as she looked at the dozen or so dark figures that had appeared before her like lightning, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"You bandits! Our Blazing Fire Mercenary Group is heading to Darkness City to participate in the Darkness Hall Festival, which takes place every three years. If the Darkness Hall finds out what you've done, they will absolutely not let you off the hook!"
"Haha, the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group is just a third-rate force. Every day in the Northern Xuan Region, forces like yours are destroyed or rise. Even the Darkness Hall can't keep up with it all. You overestimate yourself."
Among the dozen or so dark figures, one of them sneered, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he struck out with a palm, unleashing a powerful and incomparably fierce burst of energy towards the petite figure.
Upon seeing this, the girl's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with despair. However, just as she was in despair, a sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and then a slender figure appeared before her like a ghost. With a wave of his sleeve, the fierce attack vanished into thin air.
The sudden turn of events startled everyone. The girl stared blankly at the figure before her, then saw the latter turn around, smile at her, and say...
"Little girl, I'll take care of them for you, and in return, you take me to the Darkness City to attend the Darkness Hall's festival, how about that?"
The person who made the move was none other than Lin Langtian. He was new to the Northern Xuan Region and unfamiliar with the place, so he originally had no intention of getting involved in this matter. However, after hearing what the girl said, he suddenly had some ideas.
As an outsider with no acquaintances in the Darkness Hall, if he were to directly request an audience with Qing Tan, he might not even be able to get through the door.
After all, Qing Tan is now the personal disciple of the Hall Master the Darkness Hall, and his status in the Northern Xuan Region is unassailable. In the secular world, he would be like a prince, and not just anyone could see him.
Therefore, the Darkness Hall's triennial festival provided Lin Langtian with an opportunity to quickly come into contact with Qing Tan.
As a grand event in the Northern Xuan Region, Qing Tan, as a disciple of Bo Xuan, will definitely attend the festival. Lin Langtian only needs to sneak into the festival with the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group to find an opportunity to meet Qing Tan.
This was also a method that Lin Langtian suddenly came up with after meeting the girl.
Upon hearing this, the girl was overjoyed. Then, as if she had thought of something, she quickly said, "Senior, I promise you, but could you please also save my father and the others?"
"Sure," Lin Langtian said with a smile.
He wanted to infiltrate the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group to participate in the Darkness Hall's festival, so naturally he couldn't let the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group be destroyed, otherwise he would be exposed.
