Past the Great Wall.
"Gentlemen, once you cross the Great Wall and leave the Northern Territory, you'll enter the True Ancestor Realm's nine hundred continents. Each continent spans hundreds of millions of miles and is exceedingly vast."
Ji Wuming and the others respectfully explained,
"Not far ahead is one of our Teleportation Arrays. It can take you straight to our clans."
Qi Fenglin smiled.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we still have some important matters to attend to, so we won't trouble you."
They... had only needed the Nine Great Long Life Ancient Clans to escort them across the Corpse Bone Great Wall.
Now that they had made it through, they no longer needed them.
After all, the things they had to do next were highly confidential. They couldn't let people from the Nine Great Long Life Ancient Clans follow them around.
Ji Wuming nodded, seemingly unsurprised.
"Gentlemen, these are tokens from our Nine Great Long Life Ancient Clans. With them, you can summon our forces at any time and travel freely throughout the True Ancestor Realm."
Qi Fenglin said,
"Thank you."
Ji Wuming and the others promptly bade them farewell and left.
"Heh. These ants sure know how to curry favor."
A trace of disdain appeared in Qing Shenglan's eyes.
"They still have their uses."
Qi Fenglin smiled.
"As long as the contingency plan left by the End of Myriad Daos remains undiscovered and undestroyed, they're still useful."
There was another half of that thought he didn't say aloud.
Once the Nine Great Long Life Ancient Clans had helped them from the Gray Mist Sea break the End of Myriad Daos' plan... the clans would no longer be of any use.
All that awaited them... was annihilation!
And now... soon—
"What do we do next?"
Qing Shenglan asked.
