Chapter 1076 - : The Wastelands (2/2)
“Elder sister, what is inside?” The Huai Clan second young mistress asked curiously as her little head-butted over. What treasure had caused her own elder sister to forget herself?
“Little sister, I am going into seclusion for a while. I will leave Yingyun City to you and Elder Xue to manage. I hope you can grow up a little. Don’t be too capricious.”
Huai Hongxiu regained her senses and dotingly patted her little sister on the head.
“How am I capricious? Sister, it was I who brought Big Brother Mo to Yingyun City. I am a major contributor,” the Huai Clan second young mistress said, dissatisfied. She did not think that she was capricious.
“Alright, you are a contributor.”
Huai Hongxiu smiled slightly and turned to walk into the city. Her mind seemed to be elsewhere; her hand kept clenching the storage sack.
The Huai Clan second young mistress kept staring at the storage sack. Seeing that her elder sister had no intention of telling her what was inside, she was also clever enough to not ask.
The surrounding upper echelon members of Yingyun City were also looking curiously at the storage sack, wondering what was inside. Everyone knew that the item in the storage sack would not be simple. After all, it was an item that was given by Mo Wen. However, no one dared to step forward and ask about it. They could only suppress their curiosity.
A beam of blue light shot across the sky, instantly traversing hundreds and thousands of miles. According to the instructions inside the crystal ball, after obtaining the token, Mo Wen could go straight to the Sorcerer God Temple to hand it over.
There were many Sorcerer God Temples in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. The Ruyun Territorial Waters had one that was situated in Yunhong City.
After less than an hour, Mo Wen reached Yunhong City and entered the Sorcerer God Temple.
Two days later, in the wilderness, a beam of light tore open space. A tall and straight silhouette walked out from the darkness. It was a very ordinary-looking youth. It was Mo Wen.
He took a step out and looked at his surroundings.
“The Savage Qi in this place is very rich. As expected, it is very different from the Sorcerer Domain.”
There were many members of the Sorcerer Clan living within the Sorcerer Domain. They had lived there for generations just like they did in the Magical Realm. However, in the wastelands, there lived many savage ancient beasts. The chances of encountering a member of the Sorcerer Clan were very slim. This place was fraught with danger; it was the most dangerous place in the entire Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
Rumor has it that the Sorcerer Clan’s Moon Maidens were cultivated in these wastelands using an elimination method. It was rather cruel.
Only when preliminary cultivators from the outside entered the wastelands were they officially participating in the Sorcerer Clan’s Moon Maiden preliminaries. Of course, all the preliminary cultivators’ starting positions were in relatively safer domains of the wastelands; they would not be allowed into the truly dangerous areas.
With a flick of Mo Wen’s wrist, a black insignia with ancient runes floating on it appeared in his hand. The black insignia emanated a very strange aura. He did not know how the insignia was made. The Sorcerer Clan called it the Savage Qi Harvesting Insignia. As the name suggested, cultivators could use it to harvest Savage Qi from savage ancient beasts.
Once he arrived here, it meant that the preliminaries had begun. His task was to kill savage ancient beasts and gather their Savage Qi. Once the Savage Qi Harvesting Insignia was full, he could pass the first stage of the Sorcerer Clan Preliminaries.
In the first stage, cultivators from the various realms would not be able to encounter the Moon Maiden candidates. Only during the second stage would they gradually encounter the Moon Maiden candidates cultivated by the Sorcerer Clan one after another.
“Isn’t the task just about killing savage ancient beasts? This shouldn’t be difficult.”
Mo Wen pondered to himself. Savage ancient beasts were ancient creatures that had existed since the Immemorial Age. Rumor has it that they were one of the most ancient living creatures in the world.
During the Immemorial Age, the savage ancient beasts were rather frightening. Some incredible savage ancient beasts could destroy the heavens and the earth. They hunted Divine Dragons as prey. There were even some special savage ancient beasts that only ate the liver of dragons and the gall bladders of phoenixes.
However, after generations, the world had changed and all creatures born would eventually die off. Pure savage ancient beasts were rare now. Ever since the Ancient Age, savage ancient beasts had stepped down from the stage of history.
The savage ancient beasts that currently lived in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield were mostly the bloodlines propagated by their descendants.
Mo Wen stepped in the air and walked step by step deeper into the wastelands. The deeper he ventured, the more savage ancient beasts there were.
After flying for thousands of miles, Mo Wen discovered that there were many ancient beasts living on the ground. However, he did not attack them. The levels of cultivation of these ancient beasts were too low. It was meaningless to kill them.
Since the Sorcerer Clan carried out the trial here, it was impossible for them to pass the trial just by killing low-rank ancient beasts.
Roar!
Suddenly, in the forest below, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth sounded. The roar was imposing and caused the ground a thousand miles around to tremble violently.
In the ancient forest, birds and beasts alike were sent into a frenzied panic, escaping in all directions.
“Huh?”
Mo Wen, who was passing by, looked down. He saw a huge ancient beast standing in the mountain forest, majestically roaring.
The appearance of the ancient beast was very similar to that of a saber-toothed tiger. However, it had a pair of wings growing on its back. Its body was also hairless, covered with dark brown scales instead. Under the sunlight, it emanated a very sinister glow.
