"What about the Void Realm?"
Qin Shi asked. Imperial Concubine Lin did not mention this place.
"The Void Realm …!"
Imperial Concubine Lin clenched her fists and looked around nervously. Then, she said softly, "The Void Realm is a taboo on the Wasteland Continent. No one knows what it is, and no one has ever come back alive after going there. They only know that it is the most mysterious place on the Wasteland Continent."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi was surprised. The Wasteland Continent had a history of ten thousand years, and there was still a new continent that had not been explored?
That was unbelievable, but it also proved a problem, and that was the danger of the Void Realm.
It must be a danger that ordinary people could not imagine.
"What about the so-called Eight Territories?"
"This is what I'm going to say next. We humans live in the human world, and the human world is divided into Eight Territories. These Eight Territories are the eight giants of the human world."
The Lin Concubine was already sweating at the mention of the Eight Territories. "Each of the Eight Territories has a terrifying force that you can't even imagine. If they wanted to, they could destroy the entire Scarlet Flame Empire with just a wave of their hands. No, they could destroy ten, a hundred, or even a thousand Scarlet Flame Empires. A small empire like the Scarlet Flame Empire is like an ant in front of the Eight Territories."
"Hiss …!"
Qin Shi sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he knew that there were tens of thousands of small empires like the Red Flame Empire on the Barren Spirit Continent, wasn't it too exaggerated to be able to destroy thousands of Red Flame Empires with a wave of his hand?
Imperial Concubine Lin saw through Qin Shi's thoughts and said solemnly, "I'm not joking. The Eight Territories are far more powerful than you can imagine. Each of them has combined the right time, the right place, the right people, and all the right elements. After ten thousand years of accumulation, the eight forces were formed."
"In the Eight Territories, the Heavenly Realm is just the threshold. It is not rare to see cultivations that are above the Heavenly Realm."
"Surpass Heaven Realm?"
Qin Shi could no longer maintain his composure. He had never even heard of a realm above the Heaven Realm. After all, he had only sensed the Ascending Heaven Realm from the Divine Charm Sacred Tree. However, it was just a weak feeling, yet it was enough to make his hair stand on end. Not to mention a cultivation that surpassed the Heaven Realm. Did such a realm really exist?
"That's why I said that place is not a place people like us can touch."
Seeing the seriousness in Qin Shi's eyes, the Lin Concubine smiled and said, "But it's different for you. You were born out of the ordinary. Sometimes, I wonder why you were born in a small place like the Red Flame Empire."
Qin Shi said helplessly, "Sister Lin Fei, are you complimenting me?"
"No, I'm serious. A guy with a halo like you should be in a position that's respected by thousands of people."
"I think the heavens think that the lower the starting point, the further the destination."
"Yes, that might be the case. But didn't you say that you want the Qin Sect to stand at the peak of the continent?
Then you must go to the Eight Regions and see what the peak of this continent looks like. "The Lin Concubine became serious.
Qin Shi pursed his chapped lips. Even though he did not express it directly and was still able to joke with the Lin Concubine, he was feeling extremely frustrated and anxious in his heart. He had never felt this way before.
Facing the four worlds and eight regions, he couldn't help but feel powerless. He had never expected that after spending four years to climb to the peak of the empire, he would be unable to withstand a single blow from this continent. Just how far was the road ahead of him?
"I will definitely go."
However, that impatience was fleeting. What followed was a determined look in his black eyes. A charm that was filled with fighting spirit flashed across Qin Shi's eyes.
The Lin Concubine and the others nodded in relief.
"Sister Lin Concubine, what are these Eight Regions?
Since I've decided to go, I need to understand more. "Qin Shi stretched his body.
The Lin Concubine nodded. "Eight Regions …!"
Bang!
Unexpectedly, before the Lin Concubine could finish, a loud sound broke the silence and the entire Hundred Races Sacred Land started to tremble.
Rumble!
Under the trembling, a crack suddenly appeared in the night sky under the moon.
Inside this crack, a natural spiritual pressure swept through the entire area.
"What's going on?"
Everyone at the banquet stood up.
Yin Hong, Lin Yi, and several family heads gathered together.
Staring at the crack in the sky, Yin Hong frowned. "This situation, someone is attacking the Hundred Races Sacred Land from the outside!"
"Attacking the Hundred Races Sacred Land?"
Lin Yi's eyes widened. "That's impossible. The Hundred Races Sacred Land has been our sacred land for thousands of years. Even an Ascending Heaven Stage Almighty might not be able to break through."
Qin Shi caught up and frowned when he sensed the fluctuation outside the crack. He had been accompanied by Jade In The Book all these years, so he was extremely sensitive to formations. He immediately recognized the source of this power. "This power is not from humans, but from a formation!"
"A formation?"
"That's right. Someone must have set up a terrifying offensive formation outside the Hundred Races Sacred Land." Qin Shi nodded solemnly.
Hearing this, many people felt that it was possible. Lin Yi's face turned ashen.
"If that's really the case, who could it be?"
"Family heads, think carefully. Do the Hundred Races have any enemies?"
"No. Our Hundred Races may have internal conflicts from time to time, but we've never made enemies with anyone outside of the Hundred Races." The leaders shook their heads.
"That's strange. This formation is very powerful. It must have been created by someone proficient in formations." The formation before them was the most terrifying one that Qin Shi had seen in all these years.
Helpless, everyone clenched their fists.
Now, they could only hope that the Hundred Races Sacred Land could withstand this formation.
Crack!
However, hope always made people despair. After a few short breaths, the crack in the sky above the Hundred Races Sacred Land was violently blasted open, forming a hole the size of a person.
As soon as the hole appeared, everyone in the sacred land held their breaths.
"Keke, you didn't even inform me about such a lively banquet. Isn't that a little disappointing?" An ear-piercing sneer rang out from the hole.
Shortly after, an old man wrapped in a golden gown entered with his hands behind his back. This old man had the demeanor of a celestial being, transcending the mortal realm. He stood quietly in the air, yet he gave off an endless pressure. Even Qin Shi couldn't help but tense his body. This kind of pressure was something that Qin Shi had never felt before, not even from Long Xuan.
Behind the old man was a handsome figure. Seeing this figure clearly, Qin Shi's eyebrows furrowed, "It's him?"
The figure was none other than Qin Shi's first opponent when he first came to the Hundred Races Sacred Land.
Mo Qingfeng.
Realizing this, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at the extraordinary old man, "So you're saying that this old man is the Cloudy Mist Daoist?
The terrifying aura that the demon sensed before should have come from him, right? "
As Qin Shi expected, the eyes of Yin Hong and the others narrowed. "Cloudy Mist Daoist!
It's you? "
The Cloudy Mist Daoist landed in the center of the banquet. He did not take the people around him seriously at all and sneered, "Looks like the dragon race has failed?"
"Cloudy Mist Daoist, did you set up the formation outside the sacred land?"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and took a step forward. In the past, he might not have shown himself, but his identity was different now. He was the leader of the Hundred Races.
Exchanging glances with Lin Yi, the Cloudy Mist Daoist spread out his withered hands. "I didn't. I only provided the incantation. The Dragon Clan was the one who set up the Heaven Piercing Sword Formation. The Dragon Clan spent close to a hundred years to create it. I don't want to take credit from them."
"The dragon race?"
"That's right. Long Xuan, stop hiding." The Cloudy Mist Daoist's gaze was like a sword that pierced through the crowd and landed on Long Xuan.
Long Xuan, Long Bai, and the other elders of the dragon race were at the periphery of the banquet. He exchanged glances with the Cloudy Mist Daoist, smiled, and puffed out his chest, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for so long."
"Alright, stop complaining. The Hundred Races Sacred Land is really a tough nut to crack. The Sky Piercing Sword Formation is one of the three great sword formations of our Sword Sect, but it took us so long to break through. I have to say that the old fellows of the Hundred Races are really amazing. You should be proud of them."
"Sword Sect?"
Hearing this, the temperature of the Hundred Races Sacred Land dropped instantly. The people in the lead shuddered as if they had heard the worst news.
Even the Lin Concubine was the same.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Qin Shi asked, "Sister Lin Concubine, what kind of sect is this Sword Sect?"
"Sword Sect, one of the Eight Regions!"
"What?" Qin Shi's eyes narrowed.
He could still remember the nervous look on the Lin Concubine's face when she mentioned the Eight Regions. It had only been a while, and they were already seeing the Sword Sect in person?
"This Cloudy Mist Daoist is from the Sword Sect?"
Panic climbed on the faces of the people of the Hundred Races. If it was just the Cloudy Mist Daoist, they might be able to unite against a common enemy. Even though the Cloudy Mist Daoist was at the Six Heavens Realm, they would not be at a disadvantage if they worked together with nearly a hundred patriarchs. However, if the opponent was the Sword Sect, it would be a different story.
They were not willing to, nor did they dare to, provoke such a colossus.
"Keke, are you surprised?
Actually, there are still many things that you don't know. "
Long Xuan passed through the crowd and walked to the side of the Cloudy Mist Daoist with the people of the Dragon race. He sneered, "Do you really think that you can defeat the Dragon race?
I'll tell you the truth. In the battle a hundred years ago, my Dragon clan purposely lost, which was why you let your guard down. That was why we were able to use that time to build the Sky Piercing Sword Formation outside the Hundred Races' holy land. Everything was for this moment.
Long Xuan's words made the hundred patriarchs focus.
"What?
The defeat of the Dragon race a hundred years ago was also fake? "
"Such a big conspiracy. What are you trying to do?"
