Chapter 291 - Qilin Divine Tribulation. Tribulation of Scattered (1/2)

After Lu Tiange repeated the vow, Daoya Old Man took his essence blood. He asked for a drop of it from Zhou Xuanji as well, before combining the blood of both people.

Essence blood was blood and essence. Each demon or human had different essence blood, which could be used as identification in the cultivation world.

For example, enchanted artifacts and weapons required essence blood to acknowledge their owners.

Daoya Old Man waved his right hand and scattered the essence blood in his hand across the heavens and the earth.

The blood disappeared without a trace or sound.

“Just like that?” Zhou Xuanji asked with a frown. How come he felt like it was a scam and not credible?

Daoya Old Man nodded and said proudly, “That’s for sure. The heavens and the earth are witnesses. This divine ability is not simple. Less than five people in the entire Northern Wilderness Region know this divine ability.”

Xian Xianghua asked curiously, “The ancient inheritance you and Xuanhe received, whose is that?”

A long time ago, DAoya Old Man and Xuanhe Divine Monk were merely ordinary people. It was only after receiving the inheritance from an ancient powerhouse that they became so powerful.

“Why should I tell you?” Daoya Old Man said with a face full of arrogance. He used to be really afraid of her.

Now, he was no longer afraid.

If you want to marry my grand-disciple, you better treat me well.

Murderous aura emanated from her cold-looking eyes, which scared him so much that he hid behind Zhou Xuanji.

Lu Tiange sat on the ground, paralyzed and in despair. His entire past flashed past his eyes like a mist.

If Dongsheng Empire knew about this, would he still have the face to be the Emperor?

He suddenly felt regretful and asked himself why he submitted to Zhou Xuanji.

But he really did not want to die just like that.

Once he was dead, he would have nothing.

Zhou Xuanji sat down on the ground and folded his arms.

“Tell me which sea region you came from,” he asked softly.

He heard from Ning Zifeng that the ocean was much vaster than the amount of land. Chaos Tide Sea was only a small part, but even so, there was more than one Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal.

He had been questioning why cultivators from overseas did not attack the Northern Wilderness Region. There were so many more powerful cultivators overseas after all.

There must be many secrets to all of this.

Lu Tiange had a complicated expression on his face, and he decided to endure it.

Since no one knew him in the Northern Wilderness Region, he could dispel the Vow Divine Ability after he returned and deny what had happened.

And so, he revealed his background.

There were a hundred and eight sea regions overseas, distributed outwards with the Northern Wilderness Region as the center. There was a powerful barrier between the Northern Wilderness Region and the sea regions. Travel between the inside and the outside could only be done through void tunnels.

Void tunnels were not stationary. They were located in the seawater and could not be identified with the naked eye. Since ancient times, no one could count the number of void tunnels.

Since a long time ago, empires in different sea regions had planned to conquer the Northern Wilderness Region to occupy the resources. However, due to the instability of the void tunnels, they could not launch a massive invasion. Moreover, Sanctums in the Northern Wilderness Region guarded the bordering sea regions, which prevented large-scale attacks into the Northern Wilderness Region.

There were many heroes and countless geniuses in the Northern Wilderness Region.

However, ever since the Hegemon Sword Emperor ascended, the Northern Wilderness Region had waned.

There were many cultivators like Yang Di in every generation tens of thousands of years ago.

Legends had it that the Northern Wilderness Region used to be bigger. However, because of the battles between powerful cultivators, a lot of the land crumbled into the ocean.

The Dongsheng Empire had already entered the Northern Wilderness Region accidentally five hundred years ago. That intruder faithfully collected intel for the empire.

Lu Tiange thought that the Northern Wilderness Region had totally waned, which was why he found the void tunnel and took the opportunity to invade.

However, reality gave him a heavy blow.

He cursed his informant in his heart at how terrible the intel given to him was.

“Tsk tsk. He’s feeling the same thing as I was before, thinking that he would fear nothing in the Northern Wilderness Region. In the end… Haha!” Ning Zifeng laughed mercilessly, which enraged Lu Tiange.

They were both from the sea regions, why did they have to make it difficult for each other?

Zhou Xuanji asked a few more questions and Lu Tiange answered truthfully.
