Ambush

In the northern part of the Heaven Origin Realm lies a vast plain.

A cyan flying boat, over thirty feet long, sped across the sky. Shen Long and a dozen other cultivators stood on the deck, their expressions varied.

They attacked the Black Rhinoceros Mountain Range, easily broke through the Black Rhinoceros Mountain Range's Formation, wiped out all the Heaven Origin Race cultivators, and obtained a large amount of cultivation resources.

The Black Rhino Tribe's Treasure Vault contained a considerable amount of cultivation resources, which were divided among the three Spirit Transformation cultivators. Shen Long and his companions also obtained some valuables from the Heaven Origin Race cultivators.

They are heading to Golden Peach Ridge to join the cultivators from the Green Plum Realm.

Shen Long held a map, his brows slightly furrowed.

They found many maps in the Black Rhino Tribe's Treasure Vault, and these maps were more detailed, making it easier for them to understand the Heaven Origin Realm.

Logically speaking, their journey from the Black Rhinoceros Mountain Range to Golden Peach Ridge should have been the shortest and taken the least time.

The Heaven Origin Race must know that the Black Rhino Tribe has been wiped out, and they might try to ambush them on the way.

Taking into account the existence of the Heaven Origin Race, they deliberately took a detour, intending to travel from east through north to west and finally to south.

"Cultivators from the Heaven Origin Race are approaching. There are five Nascent Soul Cultivator, and they are about 800 li away from us."

Huang Ziqi spoke up.

He changed his hand seals, and the cyan flying boat quickly landed.

He summoned a Yellow Banner Flag that shimmered with spiritual light, cast a spell, and a large cloud of Yellow Mist surged from the Yellow Banner Flag, enveloping the entire azure flying boat.

Before long, the Yellow Mist dissipated, and the blue flying boat disappeared.

A short while later, a Golden Flying Boat more than ten feet long flew in from the distant horizon, with four men and one woman standing on it.

They didn't spot Huang Ziqi and his group and passed by.

After a short while, a yellow light appeared on the ground, and a cyan flying boat materialized.

Huang Ziqi made a hand seal, and the azure flying boat quickly lit up with a beam of azure light, flying towards the sky.

······

Heaven Origin Mountain Range, Heaven Origin Garden.

Yin Shi, Yin Qing, and Yin Hao were sitting around Zhang Qing tea table, talking about something.

"Fellow Daoist Bian and his group set up an ambush on the road to Golden Peach Ridge, but they didn't find any third-party forces. It seems we were overthinking it."

Yin Shi analyzed.

"It must be a small group of cultivators from the Green Plum Realm who were causing trouble everywhere, forcing us to send Spirit Transformation cultivators to capture them and relieve some of the pressure."

Yin Qing said.

"That's highly likely, but we can't rule out the existence of a third party. Is Bian Shang still in seclusion?"

Yin Shi frowned and said.

"We've already sent someone to inform him that he'll head straight to the front lines as soon as he emerges from seclusion. We just don't know if his Life-Bound Spirit Beast has advanced to the fifth rank yet."

Yin Qing asked curiously.

"That's unclear. He's obsessed with the art of controlling insects and beasts. In his eyes, Spirit Beast Spirit Insect are much more approachable than we are. The last time he showed his face was over three hundred years ago."

Yin Shi said.

After chatting for a while, they dispersed.

······

In the western part of the Heaven Origin Realm, there is a continuous, Emerald Green Mountain Range.

A blue flying boat sped through the sky, and Shen Long and a dozen other cultivators stood on the deck, looking quite relaxed.

Huang Ziqi personally controlled the flying Spirit Treasure to travel. Along the way, relying on his powerful Divine Sense, he could detect Huang Ziqi Heaven Origin Race cultivators as soon as they approached within eight hundred miles.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they did not deal with the Heaven Origin Race Heaven Origin Race, but tried to avoid them as much as possible. If they could not avoid them, they used Spirit Treasure to hide themselves.

They encountered no Spirit Transformation cultivators along the way, and everything went smoothly.

"Huh, Spirit Transformation cultivator."

Huang Ziqi let out a soft "hmm," frowned, and made a hand seal.

The azure flying boat emitted a blinding azure light and flew towards the northwest.

A short while later, a Golden Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped after a flash.

The Escape Light vanished, revealing a gigantic beast.

The giant beast has a pair of golden antlers on its head, its body is covered with golden scales, and it has a pair of huge golden fleshy wings on its back.

A group of Heaven Origin Race cultivators stood on the back of Golden Giant Beast, led by a burly Red-Robed Youth.

The Red-Robed Youth had handsome features and an unfathomable aura.

"Elder Bian, what's wrong? Is something unusual?"

A Heaven Origin Race cultivator inquired.

"It's nothing, just speed things up!"

The Red-Robed Youth gave the order.

Bian Shang, early stage of the Spirit Transformation.

The Golden Giant Beast beneath him let out a loud roar, its body radiating golden light before transforming into a Golden Escape Light and disappearing.

Eight hundred miles away, a blue flying boat floated in mid-air, with Huang Ziqi holding a Yellow Round Bead the size of an egg in his right hand.

"They actually have fifth-tier Spirit Beast. Luckily, we discovered them in advance, or it would have been troublesome."

Huang Ziqi muttered to himself.

They actually encountered Spirit Transformation cultivator, who also had a fifth-tier Spirit Beast. The cultivator probably hadn't noticed them.

With a flick of his hand, the azure flying boat emitted a blinding azure light and flew away into the distance, leaving the area behind.

A month later, the cyan flying boat appeared in the sky above a vast Yellow Desert, with Mo Wuya, Huang Ziqi, Fairy Xuanbing, and dozens of other cultivators standing on the deck.

A fierce wind howled past, and yellow sand filled the sky.

"This is the Boundless Sand Sea. Once we cross here, we can reach the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm."

Huang Ziqi said with a smile.

"It took us such a long detour and a lot more time, but thankfully we didn't encounter any trouble, so it was worth it."

Fairy Xuanbing said with a smile.

"Let's reunite with our fellow cultivators in the Green Plum Realm as soon as possible! It'll save us from living in constant fear."

Mo Wuya said.

Huang Ziqi made a hand seal, and the cyan flying boat flew towards the yellow sand sea ahead.

The cyan flying boat moved very fast and traveled smoothly without any obstacles.

After flying hundreds of thousands of miles, Shen Long suddenly spoke up, "Senior Huang, stop immediately, there's an ambush ahead."

Huang Ziqi was taken aback at first, but quickly reacted. He changed his magic seal, and the cyan flying boat quickly returned along the way it came.

The Fairy Xuanbing opened her Divine Sense wide but found nothing unusual.

"Little Friend Shen, you've sensed something wrong."

"That's what Fairy Xuanbing said."

His Divine Sense could detect far more effectively than Shen Long's; Shen Long was simply too nervous, which caused him to make a mistake.

"Perhaps I'm misperceiving things, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. The closer we get to our destination, the more careful we need to be."

Shen Long said.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Dove warned Shen Long that a high-level Ghost Creature had been discovered.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Ghost Creature here, since the Yin Qi here isn't particularly strong. Why would Ghost Creature be hiding here?

Mo Wuya nodded and took out a Cyan Round Bead the size of an egg, Spirit Treasure the Cyan Glaze Bead, which could see through concealment.

"Oh no, there really was an ambush!"

Mo Wuya exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the sky above the azure flying boat, and a Crimson Giant Hand, over thirty feet in size, appeared and slammed down.

At the same time, a fierce wind arose, and a series of Yellow Tornado appeared, heading straight for them.

Huang Ziqi maneuvered the cyan flying boat back the way it came, moving at a very fast speed.

Mo Wuya's right hand shone with a bright blue light as he slashed at the void above his head. A massive blue sword light swept out, shattering the Crimson Giant Hand into pieces.
