I'm Going to Kill a Few Heavenly Gods. You Stay Right Here and Don't Move.
"Hey, Army Commander."
Bai Qiuran greeted him.
How did you get here?
Although Zhao Tianzong was quite strong, he was ultimately just a Cultivators at the peak of the Body Integration Stage. To be honest, his strength was still somewhat lacking if he wanted to advance in the Savage Lands land west of the Soul-Ending River.
Bai Qiuran originally thought he would Teleportation to the Savage Lands land east of the Soul-Ending River.
"As luck would have it, when I was besieged by the Demon Race, I had no choice but to use an immature Teleportation talisman. Teleportation to a place deep in the Savage Lands. After finally escaping, I saw a Giant God standing tall and imposing fighting with someone, so I came over to take a look."
After answering Bai Qiuran's question, Zhao Tianzong asked, "Was the person who fought that Giant God just now the Sword Ancestor?"
"Mmm."
Bai Qiuran replied, "That's me, sir."
What an incredible monster.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianzong thought to himself that he wasn't blind. The power of that Giant God was probably beyond the reach of even the Immortals who had descended to the mortal realm. But judging from Bai Qiuran's appearance, it was clear that he had already dealt with that Giant God.
Not even a scratch...
Zhao Tianzong secretly sized up Bai Qiuran.
What are you doing?
Noticing his gaze, Bai Qiuran asked.
"Fine."
Zhao Tianzong shook his head.
"We can only marvel at the Sword Ancestor's formidable strength, which is beyond our comprehension."
You've said that thousands of times already.
Bai Qiuran sighed, "If there's nothing else, I'll take you back to the Divine Army Camp. The disciples in your sect are all worried about you."
"Etc."
However, Zhao Tianzong shook his head and said, "There's a place I'd like to take Sword Ancestor to see."
Where?
Bai Qiuran asked.
"I don't know. That place is shrouded in black mist; with my cultivation level, I simply cannot enter."
Zhao Tianzong replied, "But I believe that it must contain very important clues about the Demon Race."
"Oh?"
Bai Qiuran's eyes lit up.
"Then please take me there quickly."
"Um."
Zhao Tianzong, made a Magic Incantation, and flames immediately ignited on the ground in front of him. The flames formed a circle, and then a magnificent steed with its four legs engulfed in flames neighed and stepped out of the flames, standing on the ground and snorting twice.
Zhao Tianzong mounted his horse, glanced at Bai Qiuran, and hesitated.
"Um, Sword Ancestor... shall I take you flying?"
After returning from the Divine Age, Bai Qiuran only stayed briefly within the Azure Nether Sword Sect before heading to Fusang to find Jiang Lan. Afterward, she traveled to the Underworld Ghost Realm. Therefore, the people of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army had no idea that this ancestor, who had been walking on the ground for thousands of years, could now fly.
"Need not."
Seeing Zhao Tianzong's reaction, Bai Qiuran thought to himself that it was time to show off. He smugly summoned Clear Autumn Waters and then had his Flying Sword carry him into the air.
"I'll fly myself."
Having said that, he transformed into a streak of light and darted away at lightning speed.
Zhao Tianzong stared blankly at the spot where he had disappeared, his mouth agape in astonishment.
The next second, Bai Qiuran rushed back and said to him, "By the way, I can't find the way... Don't just stand there, lead the way!"
"Oh oh."
Zhao Tianzong rode his Blazing Flame Pegasus, galloping through the sky, Bai Qiuran to the edge of a basin in the northwest.
Because of the exchange between Bai Qiuran and Donghuang Eastern Emperor Taiyi in his Heaven's Envy form, the Behemoths in the Savage Lands were all frightened away, and the two of them did not encounter the most troublesome Behemoths tide again on their way here.
"Sword Ancestor."
Upon arriving at this point, Zhao Tianzong stopped in his tracks.
"This is the place."
Bai Qiuran looked up and saw that the area in front of him was shrouded in black mist, just like the Mount Huaijiang, except that it was slightly smaller in scale than the Mount Huaijiang Eastern Emperor Taiyi was located.
"Get out of the way."
He said.
Zhao Tianzong his Blazing Flame Pegasus and hid behind Bai Qiuran, while Bai Qiuran formed a sword with her fingers and slashed out, directly opening a straight passage into the black mist.
"Let's go."
Bai Qiuran, carrying Zhao Tianzong, flew into the black mist through this passage.
Along the way, looking at the faces that were constantly churning and condensing within the black mist separated by Sword Qi, muttering curses, Zhao Tianzong couldn't help but ask, "Sword Ancestor, what exactly are these things?"
"It's the resentment left by another race towards Human Race."
Bai Qiuran touched her chin.
"It's mostly because of me."
What do you mean?
Zhao Tianzong asked the question, but Bai Qiuran did not answer.
The two of them passed through the black mist one after the other and arrived in the basin.
What appeared before the two was a vast wasteland, a barren wasteland with only rubble and no vegetation in sight.
On the flat ground, there were countless water tanks of all sizes, filled with a thick, dark purple liquid, and within the liquid, there seemed to be Dark Shadows wriggling.
On the plain, some tall creatures grabbed small cages and threw the creatures inside into a water tank. Bai Qiuran and Zhao Tianzong saw that the cages contained Cultivators, whose cultivation levels ranged from the Golden Core Stage to the Body Integration Stage. However, they were all bound by a curse. After being thrown into the water tank, they were immediately entangled by the Dark Shadows in the tank. After some struggle and screams, what crawled out of the tank were strange Demon Race the size of humans.
The two even saw the figure of Human Race Immortals in the reinforced cage not far away.
"This..."
Zhao Tianzong astonished, then enraged. He looked at the tall, powerful creatures in the distance and asked, "What are those things?"
"Remnants of the Heavenly Gods."
Bai Qiuran's expression was calm, but her voice carried a chilling undertone.
"Still a bunch of Divine General... These guys have really mastered the art of survival of the fittest."
Who goes there?!
At that moment, a Three-Eyed Heavenly Gods atop a watchtower on the plain also saw the two. He struck the alarm gong, then leaped down and landed in front of them.
The Heavenly Gods blinked its three eyes, carefully examined Bai Qiuran and Zhao Tianzong, and laughed, "So you're just two insects. You're really unlucky; you've learned things you shouldn't have. Now, use them as fodder for my research!"
He reached out to grab the two of them, but with a flash of white light, the Heavenly Gods with the strength of an Immortals was instantly cut in two and fell into a pool of blood.
"Wait here."
Bai Qiuran rolled up her sleeves and walked forward.
"I'm going to kill two Heavenly Gods. You stay here and don't move."
Moments later, all the Heavenly Gods on the plain were slaughtered and lay on the ground, their bodies, large and small, piled up into small mountains.
Bai Qiuran sat atop the mountain of corpses and had Zhao Tianzong gather the imprisoned Cultivators and Immortals, releasing them from their curses.
"Thank you, Venerable."
After being rescued, these Cultivators and Immortals all gratefully thanked Bai Qiuran.
"No need to be so polite. We're all of the same kind, and it's only right that we help each other with Book of Questions."
Bai Qiuran waved his hand and then asked, "Judging from your Cultivation Technique, you don't seem to be cultivators from this world. Where do you come from, and why have you come here?"
