Seal

The vast and desolate divine wilderness, the Tai'a Divine City--

Under the gray night sky, the Shepherd Boy, like a wisp of smoke, landed in the divine city.

"Lord Qing Kui, the Great Witch Xuanyin requests your presence as soon as possible."

After the Shepherd Boy landed, a warrior from the Wilderness tribe, clad in light armor, bowed and saluted.

Qing Kui was the name of the Shepherd Boy. When the Shepherd Boy traveled through the human kingdoms, he never used his own name, so the humans called him the Shepherd Boy.

Qing Kui nodded and walked towards the Central Divine Tower of Tai'a Divine City.

Upon entering the Central Divine Tower, Qing Kui went straight underground, stopping only before reaching the Blade Tomb and the Sword Tomb.

The Blade Tomb and the Sword Tomb have completely changed. If the Lord of Tai'a Divine City were here, he would be astonished.

The Tai'a Divine Kingdom built the Tai'a Divine City on the foundation of the Blade Tomb and the Sword Tomb, and used the city for so many years, yet none of the successive city lords knew that the Blade Tomb Sword Tomb harbored such a secret.

At this point, both tombs were opened.

Beneath the Blade Tomb and the Sword Tomb, a vast black space appeared, seemingly leading to an endless abyss. Above the surface of the abyss, a pale purple vortex slowly rotated.

Qing Kui stood before the whirlpool, his expression solemn.

"Do you need to rest? You don't seem to be feeling well."

Just then, an old woman holding a peach wood cane appeared behind the Shepherd Boy.

"Xuan Yin, thank you for your hard work. You've been supporting me all these past few days while I was away," the Shepherd Boy said, his back to the old woman. "I don't need to rest anymore. On the way back, I took some pills, and my injuries have basically healed. I've also suppressed the Deathly Sky Wheel within me again."

"Qing Kui ..." The old woman shook her head, "This time you're going to the heart of Tai'a alone. Fighting the Shentu Family by yourself is too risky. If anything happens to you, our plans will be greatly affected!"

I know what I'm doing.

The Shepherd Boy said simply, seemingly unwilling to dwell on the matter any longer, "Let's begin!"

"Good!"

Great Witch Xuanyin spoke, he stood opposite the Shepherd Boy. The two of them floated in the air, and beneath their feet was the dark vortex beneath the Sword Tomb Blade Tomb.

That night, in the desolate wilderness, a purple divine light soared into the sky, like a giant divine sword that sliced through the heavens!

This divine light lasted for several hours, illuminating an area spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

Even in the distant Tai'a Divine Kingdom, on its borders, one could see this divine light soaring into the sky, connecting heaven and earth, like a road leading to the Nine Heavens Divine Realm.

As the sun rose in the east and the morning sun slowly ascended, the divine light gradually weakened and disappeared...

After the divine light disappeared, endless purple clouds gathered.

These purple clouds grew larger and larger, eventually enveloping the entire Divine Wilderness.

On the border of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, people were so shocked by this extraordinary phenomenon that they were speechless.

For millions of miles around, endless purple clouds obscured the blue sky and covered the earth; such a scene was truly magnificent!

"The Purple Cloud Emergence again... It's the Purple Cloud Emergence again..."

In a border town of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, an old man dressed in Dragon Robe witnessed this scene and felt a myriad of emotions welling up inside him.

His Dragon Robe was embroidered with nine golden dragons in black gold thread, and each of the nine dragons had five claws.

Nine Five-clawed Golden Dragon together represent the supreme ruler.

He is none other than the reigning God Emperor of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!

With the fall of Tai'a Divine City, Beast Tide is about to surge towards the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. The Divine Emperor personally leads the expedition to resist the Beast Tide, and he and the sages of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom remain in this border city of the divine kingdom.

However, after the Shepherd Boy led the Beast Tide army to occupy the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, he did not head south, but stayed in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom for a long time.

Even today, purple light soars into the sky, and Purple Cloud Emergence!

The old god emperor recalled that two years ago, in Yunhuang, a similar situation had occurred.

The sky was filled with purple clouds, obscuring Yunhuang. The high-ranking officials of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom thought it was the appearance of a rare treasure and sent the Brocade Dragon Guard to search for it. They even used the Tai'a Compass, a national treasure, but returned empty-handed.

The Purple Cloud Emergence occurred only two years apart, once in Yunhuang and once in Shenhuang. There must be some unknown connection between them!

The God Emperor gazed into the distance, his gaze traversing the endless lands of the Divine Wilderness, and seemed to see the ethereal Tai'a Divine City...

"The Purple Cloud Emergence... it turns out it's related to the Desolate Clan. Two years ago, when I first witnessed Purple Cloud Emergence, I never imagined it would be for this reason..."

"How laughable that I thought a rare treasure had appeared in Yunhuang, and sent a large army to search for it, but... alas!"

The old Divine Emperor sighed deeply and shook his head repeatedly. He sensed the decline of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom's destiny. Was this divine kingdom, with its long and illustrious history, destined to perish in his hands?

When the Divine Wilderness Purple Cloud Emergence, far away in the Yunhuang, Yi Yun walked alone.

The Divine Wilderness was too far away from here; he had no idea what was happening there.

He is planning his future.

He was about to leave the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

The Tai'a Divine Kingdom is bordered by the Divine Wilderness to the north, the Yunhuang to the east, the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom to the west, and the Southern Ten Kingdoms.

Yi Yun is currently in Yunhuang, directly east of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. If he wants to leave the Tai'a Divine Kingdom as quickly as possible, he can only go deeper into Yunhuang. Otherwise, if Shentu Nantian finds him using some means, he will die without a burial place.

Although Yunhuang is far less vast than Shenhuang, its deepest parts are rarely visited by humans.

Yi Yun had no idea what he would encounter as he walked into the Yunhuang.

If he were to actually traverse Yunhuang, what would the other side of Yunhuang look like?

Are there other human kingdoms there? Are those kingdoms stronger or weaker than the Tai'a Divine Kingdom?

The journey will inevitably be fraught with peril. Yi Yun doesn't know just how vast Yunhuang is; it might take him a year to traverse it. However, this will be a valuable experience for Yi Yun.

He needs to improve his strength quickly; he needs power!

The Shepherd Boy once said that people's paths diverge in the wilderness, but if he truly possessed absolute power, he could set his own rules, and what would it matter if people's paths diverged in the wilderness?

Just as Yi Yun was planning his future, he suddenly saw a purple light shooting into the sky in the distance, and the earth trembled slightly!

This purple light shone all the way up into the clouds, its brilliance dazzling and lingering for a long time.

Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. What was going on?

He hesitated for a moment, then unleashed his Movement Technique and sped toward the dazzling purple light.

Throughout the journey, Yi Yun concealed his aura and remained vigilant about his surroundings.

Such a sudden appearance of an anomaly could be an opportunity, or it could be a great danger. He is currently not strong enough, and judging from the overwhelming power of this purple light, he is afraid that even the slightest danger would be beyond his ability to handle. Therefore, he must leave quickly.

Yi Yun had been running for a long time when he suddenly heard a loud bang. In the distant mountain valley, the ground exploded, and Yi Yun saw a figure burst out from the pile of rocks.

The figure was disheveled and dressed in rags, looking almost like a beggar.

Yi Yun quickly hid himself. He looked closely and saw that the figure that had jumped out was an old man.

The old man was acting erratically, as if he had suffered a great shock. He ran while cursing and yelling, "Damn it, this godforsaken place! It's ripped me off! It's ripped me off!"

"After being trapped for so long, I'm finally out! It was truly a damn difficult time!"

The old man cursed as he casually wiped his face. However, his hands were already black, and his face was dirty as well. After wiping, his old face looked even worse.

However, even so, after he touched his face, Yi Yun still managed to see clearly...

That familiar face, those lewd features...

Isn't this old man Su Jie?

Old Man Su!

When Yi Yun was practicing martial arts in the Lian Clan of Yunhuang, he encountered Lin Xin Tong and Old Man Su.

This Old Man Su was stingy and gluttonous, and usually didn't do anything right. However, he gave Yi Yun a Protective Talisman. At the Gate of Fallen Stars, Yi Yun turned danger into safety with the help of this Protective Talisman and even killed the heavily injured Golden Crow Remnant. Otherwise, he would probably have already perished at the Gate of Fallen Stars.

Later, during the Brocade Dragon Guard election, Yi Yun encountered Old Man Su again in the Tao Clan. Old Man Su said he was going to explore some secret realm, and Lin Xin Tong also said she had something to do at home and said goodbye to him.

And so the three parted ways, never to see each other again.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Su Jie again in Yunhuang today!

And it seems like this old man is doing really badly.

Yi Yun hid behind a rock, but after Su Jie ran a few steps, a thought struck him, and he discovered Yi Yun.

Yi Yun simply stood up.

Upon seeing Yi Yun, Old Man Su was stunned.

Yi Yun had grown much taller than he had two years ago, and his appearance had changed slightly, but Old Man Su still recognized Yi Yun at a glance.

Are you kidding me? It's this kid!

Old Man Su estimated that he had been trapped in that damned secret realm for at least two years.

For the past two years, he has been trapped in a purple barrier. He has tried various methods, but none of them can break through the barrier.

This barrier can isolate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi while simultaneously gathering the Savage Power.

As a result, the Savage Power was very dense within the barrier, while the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was extremely thin. At Old Man Su's level, he could already Bigu and survive without eating or drinking, but he could not live without the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

If he neither eats nor absorbs the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, then after many years, Old Man Su will slowly run out of energy and die.

He originally thought he was going to suffer a setback this time, but unexpectedly, today, the purple barrier suddenly transformed into a beam of purple light that shot into the sky and disappeared completely.

And so, he was finally able to break through the secret realm and emerge!

Then, in this situation, he saw Yi Yun.

Having been trapped for a year or two, and finally managing to escape, how could he possibly see Yi Yun? According to Old Man Su's estimation, Yi Yun should have already been recruited by the Brocade Dragon Guard and left Yunhuang, right?

"Why is it you?"

Su Jie Yi Yun spoke almost simultaneously, saying that they hadn't expected to meet each other here.
