Chapter 2175: Chapter 1905: Extinction (Part 2)

"In the past, there were quite a few spiritual lands, but as time has passed, now in the whole of Huaxia, apart from those almost negligible small spiritual lands, there are only three major spiritual lands left. Besides, places like Europe, America, and Africa also have spiritual lands."

"Is that so."

Song Yun was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t thought previously that there were so many places similar to Taoyuan.

He asked, "Where are the other spiritual lands?"

He Sui replied, "There is almost no contact between the major spiritual lands, I only know of the other two spiritual lands in Huaxia, one is in Shushan, the other is in the South Sea. Their exact locations, maybe only the senior members of the He Family know."

Song Yun asked, "Is the strength in other spiritual lands also similar to Taoyuan?"

He Sui nodded, "Yes."

Song Yun clicked his tongue, "Foreign countries must also have powerful cultivators then."

He Sui said, "Not only that, but in recent years, the cultivators from America’s spiritual land have cooperated with the government, combining high-tech with cultivator techniques, and their strength has improved a great deal, becoming somewhat stronger than Huaxia."

Song Yun frowned slightly, only now realizing that he had underestimated foreigners previously, thinking they didn’t have a concept of cultivation.

Shaking his head, he no longer cared about these things, instead asking, "He Sui, have you heard of Master Yin Xi in Taoyuan?"

Upon hearing Song Yun mention Master Yin Xi, He Sui showed a look of surprise, "You know about Master Yin Xi?"

Seeing her reaction, Song Yun knew there was something.

He half-truthfully said, "I picked up a piece of paper earlier with records of leisurely travels, mentioning Taoyuan, signed by Master Yin Xi, so I asked."

He Sui didn’t doubt him and explained, "A long time ago, the cultivators in Taoyuan weren’t as powerful as they are now, nor were there five major families. Everyone lived in one village, happily together. Later, Master Yin Xi came to Taoyuan, he was very powerful, and guided the people in Taoyuan in cultivation, leaving some secret manuals."

"Afterwards, the people in Taoyuan grew stronger, the five strongest became the ancestors of the Zhou, Xuan, He, Huang, and Cao families. They took the five most powerful manuals, which led to a struggle, causing the village to fall apart. Thus, the situation of five major families standing in power was formed, leading to the current structure of Taoyuan."

"At the beginning, Master Yin Xi’s intention was to share the manuals but didn’t account for the greed in human hearts, leading to an unforeseen outcome. Now, no one remembers the words Master Yin Xi left when he departed."

Song Yun asked in confusion, "What words?"

He Sui replied, "He said that everyone must unite, to protect their homeland and this planet in the future."

"No way, sounds like it’s the end of the world."

Song Yun pursed his lips, somehow thinking of the prophecy circulating among the Beast Spirit Clan, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Could it be that Earth is really in trouble?

Even if it’s in trouble, it’s not up to me to save it.

Song Yun didn’t want to be a superhero, he didn’t think about this problem any further.

He said to He Sui, "Besides these, are there any details about the origin of Master Yin Xi?"

He Sui thought for a moment, her face showing a confused expression, and said, "For some reason, there’s no written record or portrait of Master Yin Xi’s details. But, after many years of oral transmission, it is said that Master Yin Xi was eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a long beard reaching to his waist, and wings on his back..."

"Alright, you don’t need to continue."

Song Yun’s mouth twitched, thinking to himself that the image passed through oral transmission is definitely false, Master Yin Xi couldn’t possibly look like that.

He Sui gave a wry smile, "Uh, I also think they’re wrong in their transmission."

"Hehe, let’s go."

Song Yun laughed, didn’t ask further, turned and walked toward the "closure gate" of the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation.

However, he didn’t take Passage Seven but chose another passage.

There were a total of eight passages, he dealt with the demon beasts guarding the remaining passages and obtained eight inner cores in total.

Then, he left the Xia Palace and returned to the sunken square.

The bodies of the Beast Spirit Clan and Shen Family were still there, indicating no one had been here.

Song Yun split half of the Demon Beast Cores with He Sui, saying, "Goodbye, it’s time to part, I need to find Xiaoran, and you should return to Taoyuan."

Upon hearing this, He Sui showed a lost expression, feeling reluctant to part with Song Yun.

Song Yun laughed heartily, saying, "You don’t need to miss me too much, don’t worry, when there’s a chance, I’ll go to Taoyuan to look for you. By the way, how can I enter Taoyuan then?"

He Sui felt delighted hearing Song Yun would come to find her, but then showed a difficult expression and said, "Entering and exiting Taoyuan requires a token."

Song Yun reached out his hand, "Let me see your token."

He Sui handed the token to Song Yun, who then carefully observed this wooden token; since there are many of these in Taoyuan, it indicates that they’re not hard to make.

He looked at it and saw it was quite simple, just having a small array mark carved onto it, similar in concept to the emblem at the base of the Ice Crystal Holy Grail.

Memorizing the array mark, Song Yun returned the token to He Sui, blinking, "One day in the future, I’ll come to Taoyuan to find you."

"Mm." He Sui nodded, feeling somewhat expectant.

She deeply looked at Song Yun, saying, "I need to go now, goodbye."

"Come on, give me a hug, who knows how long until we meet again." Song Yun opened his arms, smilingly said to He Sui.

He Sui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this how people from the outside world say goodbye?"

"No." Song Yun shook his head and laughed, "Only friends with very close relationships would do this. I think our relationship is quite close."

He Sui hesitated for a moment, nodded, and walked over to lightly hug Song Yun.

Feeling Song Yun’s solid chest, her heart was pounding, and she felt flushed, with an indescribable feeling.

She didn’t dare look into Song Yun’s eyes and turned around to leave, leaving a sentence, "Hope to see you again."

"Rest assured, we’ll definitely meet again."

Song Yun shouted loudly as he watched He Sui’s gradually distancing back.

After He Sui’s figure disappeared, Song Yun raised his watch, with coordinates recorded by Lang Xiaoran of the Wolf Spirit Clan.

Determining the direction, he moved swiftly toward the Wolf Spirit Clan.

...

Song Yun walked for about half an hour, someone emerged from the inner gate of the Daxia Ruins.

The person’s appearance was Shen Kunpeng.

However, his body had undergone some changes. He had become gigantic, his hands hard like rock.

His aura was strange, carrying a faint scent of demon beast essence.

"Unexpectedly, I have advanced to the peak of the SSS level!"

Shen Kunpeng showed an excited look, muttering to himself.

In the Xia Palace, he alongside Bao Cheng of the Leopard Spirit Clan and Xiong Gang of the Bear Spirit Clan, circulated around the secret passage for a long time, eventually triggering some mechanism, falling into a cavern.

Later, somehow, a wisp of dark red bizarre gas invaded his body.

Thinking he would die, he unexpectedly underwent mutation, advanced to the peak of the SSS level.

Of course, he also paid a price for this, becoming petrified, losing the ability to procreate.

With anger in his heart, he initially intended to kill Bao Cheng and Xiong Gang but found them nowhere.

Thus, he left the Daxia Ruins.

Yet, upon seeing the bodies of the Shen Family members scattered outside, he realized the gravity of the situation.

They were core members of the Shen Family, all dead. Shen Kunpeng had petrified, meaning, the direct line of the Shen Family was going to become extinct.

"Damn, who did this!?"

Shen Kunpeng cursed loudly, veins popping out on his face, eyes bloodshot, overwhelmed with anger.

Originally thinking he’d advanced to the peak of SSS level, capable of dominating the Hermit Realm, even if he couldn’t procreate, there were others to continue the family line.

By then, it would be the Shen Family dominating.

But he hadn’t anticipated it would end like this.
