Chapter 1168: Peac.o.c.k Land

The human race was one of the rare races in the Heaven Spirit World. Outside of those scattered across the world, they gathered in two famous locations.

The first was the renowned Exquisite Valley. It was one of the top lineages, so there were many human mortals and cultivators there…

Of course, the excellent bloodlines of the humans all came from this valley. If one couldn’t find a suitable bloodline there, they would be hard-pressed to find one anywhere else.

The other base for the human race was Peac.o.c.k Land. However, the land of the peac.o.c.ks was in great decline in the present day. It could no longer be compared to the Exquisite Valley. Legend states that in its most prosperous generation, it was even greater than the valley.

It was a landma.s.s that spanned tens of thousands of miles. This was not much if placed in the other eight worlds; it could only be considered the territory of a nation at best.

However, in this world of boundless oceans, this vast landma.s.s was already considered a great continent.

One could see rolling hills and green trees everywhere in this place, making it look full of life. Smoke from kitchens lingered in the air with roosters crowing and dogs barking continuously.

This was a land full of legends. It didn't always have the name Peac.o.c.k Land. The name was eventually changed due to the Peac.o.c.k Treefather. It is said that a long time ago, this place was a very small landma.s.s with only around one hundred miles of territory. It was not so much a continent as it was a large island.

Later on, the Peac.o.c.k Treefather met his maker in this place and returned to the origin. He took root and refined the nearby sea region, turning it into a continent.

From then on, Peac.o.c.k Land became prosperous under the protection of the treefather. Humans were able to live here peacefully from one generation to another.

In principle, the treefather was still part of the Treant Race. He should have opened a new land for the treants, but he chose to do so for the humans.

There was a legend about this story. When he was younger, he was a wandering treant that was abandoned by his parents. He eventually wandered to this island and was adopted by a nice couple who then raised him. He grew up here where human cultivators taught him how to cultivate. They opened the doors to this world of cultivation for him, a door that he had never seen before.

As he became stronger and stronger, he traveled the Heaven Spirit World and even the nine worlds. Ultimately, he still viewed this landma.s.s as his home despite being a treant for he considered himself a human.

Eventually, he met his end. Even though he couldn’t pa.s.s down his legacy, he still took root here to make Peac.o.c.k Land even larger for the other humans, a land of contentment.

“Splas.h.!.+” The seahorse leaped out of the ocean and stepped onto Peac.o.c.k Land.

Li Qiye was still resting with his eyes closed on Kong Qinru’s chest as if all in this world had nothing to do with him.

Kong Qinru was hiding her body again so that no one could tell that she was the Exquisite Valley Lord. If Golden Isle knew that she was the one who seized their groom, things would be quite problematic.

She slowly said as the seahorse landed: “We’ve arrived at Peac.o.c.k Land.”

While taking in the fragrance of the earth and the breath of the continent, the scent of the flowers and trees, Li Qiye took several deep breaths and opened his eyes.

With majestic hills and scary peaks that towered all the way to the skydome like giants, this was a scene of greenery as far as the eyes could see. It gave spectators an incredible feeling.

Others wouldn’t notice anything, but this Peac.o.c.k Land looked different in Li Qiye’s eyes. He was seeing the approaching twilight.

Despite its lush and vibrant appearance, Li Qiye saw a huge old tree. Even though its branches and leaves were still fresh, the body itself was aged and near death.

Li Qiye quietly spoke while looking at this land: “Peac.o.c.k Land… The Peac.o.c.k Treefather will wither eventually, and that time is not far from now.”
