" Kid Hao, we're almost there in 300 million li!"
Lie Fu surveyed the surrounding mountains and determined their approximate location before speaking to Wang Hao.
Three years ago, Wang Hao told Lie Fu about his cultivation level and how he wanted to obtain the next step of the inheritance. After Lie Fu and the others discussed it, they decided that Lie Fu and Mo Dao, the two strongest people in the stronghold, would lead the team and take Wang Hao into the depths of the wilderness.
The borders of the Jiuli Tribe are boundless wilderness, occupying more than half of the entire Primordial World. It was also the Witch-Demon Battlefield in the last era, inhabited by countless Ferocious Beast and evil spirits, and even many powerful Devil Dao cultivators are hiding there.
Lie Fu and his companions naturally dared not set foot in the true depths of the wilderness. In fact, to be precise, the outer edge of the wilderness where they were located was not the true outer edge of the wilderness.
Initially, the Jiuli Tribe occupied a border area of one billion li. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the war between the Great Demon God Chiyou and the Emperor Xuanyuan, the Jiuli Tribe lacked sufficient troops and could only shrink its garrison in this area.
This led to the border lands being constantly invaded by Ferocious Beast and demons from the wilderness. In fact, many Jiuli Tribe were wiped out by these Ferocious Beast and demons because they did not evacuate in time, including several major cities.
They were heading to one of the fallen main cities in search of the Wu God Hall.
The Wu God Hall is actually the Ancestral Witch Hall. However, the Ancestral Witch is, after all, the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan. The Jiuli Tribe only inherited a portion of the bloodline of the Witch Clan, but in essence, they are still Human Clan.
Therefore, although the Twelve Ancestral Witches and even the Great God Pangu are still worshipped, the main hall for sacrifices is usually called the Wu God Hall, which contains many of the heritages of the Jiuli Tribe.
"Only three-tenths of the journey remains!"
Wang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, deeply aware of the dangers of the wilderness.
In the previous three years, he and Lie Fu traveled 700 million miles, encountering countless dangers and nearly losing their lives several times.
This wilderness is far too dangerous!
Even after completing seven-tenths of the journey, he still dared not relax in the slightest, and was even more vigilant.
The deeper you go, the stronger the Ferocious Beast and demons you will encounter. You might even run into powerful Devil Dao cultivators hidden in the wilderness, which would truly mean the end for you.
Therefore, we must be extra careful.
Fortunately, the Jiuli Tribe had only ceded this border region of a billion miles for less than a thousand years, and the Ferocious Beast from the wilderness had only spread over some low-level Ferocious Beast. Even if they couldn't defeat them, the three of them could still escape.
After all, Ferocious Beast have no intelligence and only know how to kill and destroy. They will even kill each other. You can shake them off by luring the pursuing Ferocious Beast to the side of other Ferocious Beast, unless you are unlucky enough to encounter a large beast tide.
Another six months passed, and Wang Hao and Lie Fu finally arrived at a main city that the Jiuli Tribe had once established on the frontier.
That's right, it was just the two of them. As for Mo Dao, who accompanied them, he had already sacrificed himself to cover them during a small beast tide.
Although he was very sad, Wang Hao had been mentally prepared.
Staying in the settlement and being driven by the Yellow Emperor Tribe to face the Ferocious Beast would only lead to their eventual demise. Without sufficient inheritance, they simply could not grow stronger quickly enough to keep up with the rapid increase in the number of Ferocious Beast.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, the Ferocious Beast surrounding the outskirts of the garrison will become more numerous and stronger, and without sufficient strength, certain death is inevitable.
The rear was basically occupied by the Yellow Emperor Tribe, and there were even Yellow Emperor Tribe's tribe legions stationed behind the defensive line of the encampment. If they dared to return, they would inevitably be hunted down.
Therefore, returning to the Jiuli Tribe to seek its inheritance is basically impossible; the only option now is to travel to the abandoned main city on the frontier to search for opportunities.
" Lie Fu, is it really possible that some legacy has been preserved here?"
Looking at the endless ruins before him, Wang Hao was not so optimistic about the outcome of this trip.
This city has been completely destroyed, and with the constant ravages of Ferocious Beast and the ravages of time, the chances of it surviving and being preserved are extremely slim!
"Hehe... Xiao Haozi, you don't understand. This used to be the largest main city on the frontier. Even the Great Demon God Chiyou You personally guarded this place for tens of thousands of years. The Wu God Hall here was personally blessed by the Great Demon God Chiyou."
Even if a terrifying being from the depths of the wilderness were to appear, it would be impossible for them to destroy the Wu God Hall here. Moreover, I have heard that the Wu God Hall here was first established by the Great Demon God Chiyou, and it was here that our Jiuli Tribe's Body Refinement was created.
Even if we only obtain a tiny bit of the Great Demon God's inheritance this time, it will be enough to benefit us immensely.
With a chuckle, Lie Fu said proudly, his single remaining eye blazing with fervor.
It's not just Wang Hao who needs the inherited cultivation method; he needs it too. That's why he personally led the team here, firstly to help Wang Hao, and secondly to bring back the inheritance to the brothers in the garrison.
This will be their guarantee and hope for survival in the future, and they are willing to risk their lives for it!
"Be careful, don't alert the Ferocious Beast here!"
After giving Wang Hao some instructions, Lie Fu carefully crept towards the core area of the main city ruins, and Wang Hao quickly followed.
There are many Ferocious Beast nesting in the ruins of this main city, so we must not be careless.
Fortunately, Wang Hao and Lie Fu had gained considerable experience in stealth during their journey, and they managed to avoid alerting any Ferocious Beast as they approached the core area of the main city ruins.
Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," and they were eventually discovered by a Ferocious Beast resembling a crocodile.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Wang Hao was sent flying by the crocodile Ferocious Beast's long tail, crashing into a broken stone wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
That Ferocious Beast was far too terrifying in strength, a terrifying existence far exceeding the cultivation level of the Heaven Realm. It was only because Wang Hao was strong and had many methods that he was able to destroy the body of any other cultivator of the same level with just that one blow.
However, he was also in a bad mood, as his combat strength was greatly reduced.
"I'll hold this beast off. Xiao Haozi, you hurry and get into the core area. There's the aura of the Wu God Hall there; these beasts won't dare go in."
At the critical moment, Lie Fu his teeth, unleashed a desperate secret technique, burned all his life essence, and unleashed a power far exceeding his limits to attack the crocodile Ferocious Beast.
Given the speed of the crocodile Ferocious Beast, they have no chance of escaping; they will be caught up before they even reach the core area.
Moreover, if the commotion disturbs the surrounding Ferocious Beast and they are surrounded, none of them will survive.
Therefore, for now, only he can hold this beast back and allow Wang Hao to go to the core area to find the inheritance.
This kid's talent far surpasses his; only by keeping him alive can they have a future and hope!
"Take care, I will avenge you!"
Clenching his teeth, Wang Hao disregarded his internal injuries and rushed towards the core area.
Having experienced multiple instance worlds, he was naturally not an indecisive person. He knew that Lie Fu Liefu's judgment was the most correct at the moment, otherwise the two of them would have died here.
If that were the case, Mo Dao's sacrifice would have been in vain. The most crucial thing now is that he must bring back the people who have inherited the traditions of this place, which is also the main objective of this mission.
The battle between the crocodile Ferocious Beast and the Lie Fu was quite a commotion, quickly attracting the attention of Ferocious Beast lurking within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, who all rushed towards the scene.
Soon, these Ferocious Beast discovered Wang Hao's presence and began their pursuit.
Fortunately, he wasn't far from the core area. In the instant he was caught, Wang Hao used the claw of a giant Ferocious Beast to smash his entire body into the boundary line of the core area.
The numerous Ferocious Beast that had been pursuing them stopped outside the border line, roaring incessantly but also showing great apprehension, as if a terrifying being lurked ahead.
"Gurgle!"
He forced back the mouthful of blood that was about to spit out. He couldn't replenish his energy here, so every bit of energy was precious and he had to use it sparingly. He couldn't afford to waste even a mouthful of blood.
" The Ferocious Beast here are all too monstrous!"
Sensing the fact that most of his bones and tendons were shattered, Wang Hao couldn't help but complain.
I was only grazed by that Ferocious Beast's claw, and now I look like this. If I had been hit squarely, I would definitely have been blown to bits.
" Xiao Mengmeng, search this area for any dangers."
Ignoring his internal injuries, Wang Hao immediately had Xiao Mengmeng activate the Treasure-Seeking Function to search the core area for any powerful enemies.
He certainly didn't want to be sent to his death the moment he arrived!
The core area spans millions of miles, and scanning the entire area would certainly consume a lot of Fortune Points, but for safety's sake, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Fortunately, he was lucky. After Xiao Mengmeng's scan, it was found that there were no powerful people left in the core area, probably because of the suppression of the aura of the Wu God Hall. Even the buildings here were mostly preserved, especially the main hall in the very center, which resembled a mountain.
"Is that the Wu God Hall?"
Having barely managed to heal his internal injuries, Wang Hao stood up and gazed at the ancient hall in the distance. Without hesitation, he walked straight towards it.
As Wang Hao continued to walk in, he finally understood why those Ferocious Beast dared not enter the core area. It turned out that a strange and powerful aura permeated the area, and he could sense that it was from the same source as the bloodline within him.
This aura seemed to have the ability to recognize things on its own. After sensing the bloodline aura of the same origin in Wang Hao's body, it did not target him, but instead helped him repair his internal injuries.
Although he didn't grasp the destructive power of this aura, he could vaguely sense the immense terror hidden within it.
This is because he has the same bloodline within him; otherwise, anyone else would have been blasted into dust by this aura.
The Wu God Hall is often the last and strongest defensive force of the Jiuli Tribe, and the totem poles in those smaller tribes can be seen as an infinitely simplified version of the Wu God Hall.
Not to mention that the Wu God Hall here was personally blessed by the Great Demon God Chiyou and has been guarding it for ten thousand years, so its power is well-deserved.
Soon, Wang Hao arrived at the Wu God Hall without incident, but Wang Hao was dumbfounded when he saw the huge, tightly closed stone door.
There's no special power at play here; it's just an ordinary stone door. The problem is that this entire Wu God Hall is built from a Black Nether Stone mountain range, making it incredibly sturdy and, most importantly, extremely heavy.
Even a single fist-sized piece of Black Nether Stone was terrifyingly heavy; even with Wang Hao's current strength, it would be difficult for him to lift it, let alone the enormous stone gate in front of him, which was tens of thousands of miles high.
He doesn't even have the strength to push it away, let alone obtain the inheritance within.
"Never mind, let's wander around somewhere else first!"
With a sigh, Wang Hao temporarily abandoned the idea of activating the Wu God Hall and instead began to traverse the entire core area rapidly.
The battle here back then must have been extremely fierce; there wasn't even time to take away the bodies of the fallen soldiers. He had seen quite a few skeletons along the way.
Now it's up to us to see if we can find the next stage of inheritance he needs on these skeletal remains.
