In the western region, yellow sand filled the sky. As far as the eye could see, the world was dark yellow. Even cultivators could not see clearly.
This kind of yellow sand was swept by strong winds. Ordinary people could not go deep. Every grain of yellow sand could tear a person apart.
Therefore, ordinary people usually lived within a radius of a hundred miles from the city. Any further and it would be a dangerous place.
From time to time, cultivators would fly past. Sometimes, they would rush into the yellow sand. Other times, they would leap into the air. The yellow sand stretched endlessly. Strange giant beasts stepped on the yellow sand and came quickly. They put down a group of cultivators and left quickly.
The mounts in the western region were completely different from those in the eastern region. The mounts here had thicker fur and were more resistant to hunger and thirst.
In the distance, the mountain range that pulled the heavenly rope slowly stopped. It was the Heavenly Rope Mountain Range that came from the eastern region to the southern region. The destination was the western region. However, most people went down in the southern region. Only a small portion came to the western region.
Compared to the western region, which had a harsh environment, the southern region was naturally more popular.
The mountain range landed not far from a Tomorrow Beast. The Tomorrow Beast was still sleeping.
Cultivators walked down from the mountain range. In the surroundings, many cultivators were waiting for someone. After receiving the person they wanted to receive, they quickly left without any delay.
Dozens of cultivators stood in the mountain range and looked into the distance. They had been here for a few days, but the person they were waiting for had not arrived.
"Sir, he is not here." Someone passed through the void and reported.
In the crowd, someone said, "This is the heavenly rope that goes around the southern region. He is definitely not here. Nonsense."
The person who reported did not dare to refute. It was obvious that his status was low.
These people were all wearing black robes. Their faces could not be seen clearly.
The person who spoke just now looked at the person sitting on the sand behind. "Sir, do we still need to wait?"
"Wait. He will definitely come."
The strong winds swept the yellow sand and covered the sky. The cultivators could easily tear the storm apart, but no one made a move.
The western region was like this. Even if one tore apart a storm, there would be another in an instant. There was no need to waste energy.
If they had the energy, they might as well dig the sand. They might be able to find something good.
The yellow sand of the western region had a hidden carving method. Although the probability of finding it was unimaginably low, it could still be found occasionally.
Once it was found, it could be turned around.
Many cultivators who came to the western region, other than avoiding their enemies, wanted to try their luck.
At this moment, the heavenly rope of the northern region was swung out with a low roar.
The mountain range went around the Mother Tree and headed towards the Western Region.
Lu Yin stood atop the mountain range and looked at the familiar scene. How convenient! The Ninefirmaments Universe had used the Beasts of the Tomorrow in various areas of transportation, and they had even used them for expeditions.
"I heard that the Tomorrow Beast came from an extinct universe?"
Behind him, Si Jiushi said, "Yes, Cosmos Tomorrow. According to the records, attacking Cosmos Tomorrow was extremely difficult."
Lu Yin laughed. "Which universe isn't difficult?"
He had heard of several universes being destroyed, and none of them were simple.
Si Jiu Shi said, "Tomorrow's universe is especially difficult. It's one of the top three universes in the Nine Firmaments universe."
"That's amazing."
Si Jiushi nodded. "We can see a thing or two from the Beast of Tomorrow, but the Universe of Tomorrow has been extinct for far too long, far longer than the Orchid Universe, so we don't know the specifics. We only know that it's not easy."
Lu Yin didn't ask any more questions. Si Jiushi was just a disciple of one of the Five Great Gates, so he wouldn't know much. It would be better to ask Ming Zhuo, and even Lu Siyu would be more valuable than Lu Yin.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Si Jiushi reminded, "You can leave now."
"There's no rush," Lu Yin said.
Si Jiushi looked out of the mountain range. At this speed, he couldn't see clearly, but he had ridden the Heavenly Cable many times, so he knew exactly how long it would take to travel from the Northern Region to the Western Region.
Above their heads, people flew out of the cave one by one. These people also wanted to go to the Western Region. After they flew out, they still had to fly for some distance with the help of inertia. When they landed, they happened to be under the Sky Cable of the Western Region. If they wanted to leave, they could continue to ride the Sky Cable.
In theory, a person could travel around the Nine Firmaments in a single day as long as they happened to run into the Four Realms Heavenly Cable.
Si Jiushi silently calculated. With every second that passed, the cable would travel a great distance, and they couldn't wait any longer. If they went down now, they would land at the edge of the Western Region, and if they waited any longer, they might be thrown into the Southern Region.
However, Lu Yin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Si Jiushi wanted to remind him, but then he thought better of it. It was better if they didn't go to the Western Region.
Wait, could this person be going to the Southern Region?
Then why bring him along?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, Si Jiushi felt a weight on his shoulder, and his vision blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar sky of yellow sand and a familiar city floating above it.
This city was the closest to the Western Region's Heavenly Cable, and anyone who came to the Western Region would go there to rest and understand the situation.
Why was he suddenly here?
Si Jiushi suppressed his shock. This person's strength was shocking, and anything he did would not be strange.
To Lu Yin, although the Heavenly Cable was fast, it did not give him any inertia. He could descend whenever he wanted, and he could land wherever he wanted. This was not something that the Tomorrow Beast could decide.
The Heavenly Cable was just a trick, borrowing the Tomorrow Beast's strength to create inertia.
He brought Si Jiushi directly past the Western Region's Heavenly Cable and past a large group of cultivators to arrive at the nearest city.
Many people had seen him travel from the Eastern Region to the Western Region, so it would be strange if there were no people waiting for him in the Western Region. Although Lu Yin did not want to change his appearance, there was no need for his whereabouts to be discovered immediately.
"Let's go and rest."
Si Jiushi followed silently, not saying anything to prevent himself from taking the blame. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.
Within the city, Si Jiushi gave Lu Yin a brief introduction of the Western Region.
The Western Region's environment seemed harsh, but it was a treasure trove in the eyes of many. The three clans of Hidden Sky City's history made many jealous, and even though the chances of finding carved sand were pitifully low, large groups of cultivators still came.
There was no need to worry about not finding cultivators in this desert.
Aside from Hidden Sky City, there were also the Five Great Sects, the Spirit Alliance, and the Spirit Treasures Chamber of Commerce, as well as a number of other cities scattered throughout the region.
Although the Western Region's environment was harsh, the number of cities here was no less than the Northern Region's. This was because there were too many people looking for sand. Many people did not only dig for sand in their own generation, but also in the next generation and the one after that, hoping to reach the heavens in a single step.
Of course, many people also used this harsh environment to hide from their enemies, and some even needed such an environment to cultivate battle techniques.
In short, the number of people who came to the Western Region was definitely not small.
Lu Yin looked at the yellow sand swirling around the streets, occasionally forming tornadoes that connected the sky and the earth. This environment was indeed not very good.
"The Western Region is home to many monsters from the Ninefirmaments Universe. The harsher the environment, the more it attracts certain people. Thus, most people hide their identities here. Whoever is exposed will be unlucky."
Si Jiushi glanced at Lu Yin. "Senior is an exception. Not to mention those monsters, even the three clans of Hidden Sky City will have to kneel if they meet you."
Lu Yin took a sip of water, feeling unexpectedly refreshed. "Stop talking nonsense. Once you find Wang Gong, you can leave."
Si Jiushi nodded and anxiously looked into the distance. Why hadn't that guy replied yet?
Lu Yin naturally did not look for Si Jiushi to be a guide. With his strength, what could he not find with a sweep of his consciousness?
There was no need to even mention Hidden Sky City, and he could find anyone to be a guide.
He had asked Si Jiushi to come because the Five Great Sects were also in the Western Region.
Who knew the local area better than these huge powers?
Although Si Jiushi was just a disciple, he could definitely find information on the resources of the Five Great Sects in the Western Region.
Si Jiushi's only goal was to help Lu Yin find Wang Gong.
He had not come to the Western Region just to fulfill Heartless' conditions, but also to deal with Wang Gong.
Wang Gong belonged to the Hidden Sky City's House of Hidden Sky City. Finding the House of Hidden Sky City was easy, but he could not just kill them. What if he could not find Wang Gong after destroying the House of Hidden Sky City?
Strength was not the only way to solve problems, but it was a prerequisite. Finding the target was the most important.
The people of the Tianyuan Universe could not give others the impression that they were wanton killers.
Everything had to be reasonable.
Two hours passed, but Si Jiushi did not reply. He stared at Huai Si and continued to contact him. Another two hours passed, but there was still no response.
"That bastard, how dare he not answer my calls?
He's courting death, "Si Jiushi cursed under his breath as he continued to contact Wang Gong. Finally, an hour later, an image appeared.
Si Jiushi stared at Huai Si. "What are you doing, Ling Feed?"
"So it's Brother Si Jiushi. From the looks of it, you've returned to the Western Region?"
"Cut the crap. I want to buy information from you."
"Information?
What information?
Why can't I understand what you're saying? "
Si Jiushi's gaze turned cold as he stared at Huai Si. "Ling Feed, this isn't our first transaction. Stop pretending."
"Don't joke around, Brother. Our transactions are limited to the spirit screen, so what else?
There's no need to talk about information. Brother, are you looking for the wrong person? "
Si Jiushi frowned, but he did not speak.
"Brother, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll talk to you later. If you want to buy a spirit screen, contact me again. See you later." With that, the image disappeared.
Si Jiushi stared at Huai Si, unable to react.
Lu Yin looked up. "It seems that something has happened to your brother."
Si Jiushi's expression turned solemn. "He's a dispatcher from the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce. In the Western Region, the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce's information network surpasses everyone else's. This person's information network is very valuable, and I've bought it from him before. How did this happen?
"If something has happened to him, the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce will cause trouble for him, but he has no way of contacting the outside world. If not for the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce, who would dare to touch him in the Western Region?"
"Is the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce that powerful?"
Si Jiushi explained, "Beneath the yellow sands of the Western Region, there's not only the sand that contains the engraving method, but also the spirit treasures obtained from expeditions to the Outer Universe. They're all buried beneath the sand, and most cultivators can't use the spirit treasures they find when digging through the sand. They can't open them, so they can only trade for them. In order to trade for spirit treasures, one has to use a spirit screen. Otherwise, the danger of the spirit treasures will be very troublesome.
"The Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce provides all the spirit screens, and they can also help seal, transfer, trade, and so on.
"Through the spirit screens, the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce can control the flow of spirit treasures in the Western Region. They can act as eyes and monitor every movement in the Western Region. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the actions of the three great clans of Cangtian City can't escape the Numinous Treasures Chamber of Commerce's eyes."
