Chapter 569 237: Tower of the Supreme

Since its founding in ancient times, countless martial artists with extraordinary experiences have emerged from within the Martial Abyss, all witnessed by Candle Kite.

In her slumber, with each breath, subtle new planets are gradually forming throughout the Primordial Starsea. Initially appearing illusory, they gradually take form. If a truly extraordinary being observed closely, they would discover connections between every planet in the Primordial Starsea.

It appears that each of these planets is like an individual [unit], interconnected into a massive network.

Soon...

The Primordial Starsea fell into complete silence.

...

Great Wilderness.

The Great Wilderness spans vast lands. After annexing and integrating two major tribes, the Sacrificial Fire Tribe's domain rapidly expanded. To the east of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, separated by several large and small tribes, lies a super large tribe, settled here!

Hengjiang Nation.

The only small nation in the entire region.

In the Great Wilderness, a nation is not just a name, nor merely about the tribe's scale, but is closely linked to the sacrificial spirit.

The whole Hengjiang Nation stands by the river, its largest settlement, the capital city, is divided into two main areas, separated by a continuously rushing river. At this moment, on the other side of the river, several figures stand, dressed elaborately.

The leader is a middle-aged man, with strange patterns carved on his face. Embedded in his brow is an unknown creation resembling a scale, radiating a dark lustre under the sunlight. He holds a scepter in his hand, gazing devoutly at the rushing river ahead.

The High Priest of Hengjiang Nation, Tang Shang.

The people behind him, dressed as priests, also exhibit devout expressions. Tang Shang stands at the forefront, holding the scepter, performing a saluting gesture. As he softly recites, the scale on his brow flashes and enters the river.

Before long.

A sudden massive whirlpool forms on the previously calm surface of the water, causing the river to churn. From the whirlpool, a colossal entity emerges, revealing its true form.

It is a... giant python!

At a glance, its length is indeterminable, as most of its body remains submerged in the river, only the python's head and part of its body are exposed, with scales nearly mirror-like, reflecting everything around. Below its head, rings of golden patterns encircle its body like rings.

Those are the traces left by wish power.

The Hengjiang Sacrificial Spirit—Profound Mirror!

Although its appearance seems fierce, its eyes are extremely pure, leaning over the river, its gaze falls upon the people at the shore, a deep voice resounds.

"What is the matter?"

"Lord Profound Mirror."

Tang Shang bows respectfully and says, "According to your orders, the clansmen sent to the Sacrificial Fire Tribe have returned."

"The Sacrificial Fire Spirit has agreed to meet with you. Once we communicate a bit further, we can meet."

Upon hearing this,

The Profound Mirror's python head extends forward, filled with pressure: "Did those sent ever see the Sacrificial Fire Spirit in person?"

"They did not."

Tang Shang shakes his head.

Upon hearing this, the Profound Mirror's eyes lower slightly.

Seeing this, Tang Shang hesitates for a moment before speaking up: "My lord, you seem particularly concerned about the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and the Sacrificial Fire Spirit."

"Although the Sacrificial Fire Spirit's battle achievements are impressive, if you intervene, even the Iron-toothed Sacrificial Spirit isn't a match. You..."

The python's head turns, cutting off his words.

The dark python head reveals no clear expression, only its eyes flash as, above the river, a golden page about the size of two palms appears, like a letter, suspended in the air.

This letter seems condensed from wish power, with the extremely ancient characters [Qingqiu] at the bottom.

"This is an audience letter from the Qingqiu Ancient Country."

The Profound Mirror's voice is ethereal: "You have long lived in this remote place, unaware, yet I had the fortune to hear of these ancient country names."

"In the Great Wilderness, those referred to as an ancient country are all tribes with very long-standing traditions, and within their tribe, there might be legacies from ancient times."

The python head raises high, looking into the distance, its voice continues: "This Qingqiu Ancient Country has its sights on our region, likely related to the Celestial Change incident. It's still unknown what their intentions are. While the Sacrificial Fire Tribe has suddenly risen, their spirit is indeed formidable. We're all in this place, it's beneficial to have many allies."

"Furthermore..."

At this point, its eyes flash with brilliance, faintly expressing desire: "If the Sacrificial Fire Spirit is indeed the rumored Dragon Species, then it would greatly assist me."

"Our relations with the Sacrificial Fire Tribe must not be jeopardized."

Its eyes show a thoughtful look: "Have the clansmen quickly coordinate the meeting place and time, the visitors from the Qingqiu Ancient Country will arrive shortly, and we need to meet before that."

"I understand."

Tang Shang responds solemnly.

As he returns the salute, the python head submerges, its pitch-black scales visibly distinct in the river, but quickly disappears into the depths, leaving no trace.

...

Wanxiang Star System, Crystal Branch Star.

Qin Jin steps into the Gate of the Supreme Trial.

A sensation of teleportation surrounds him. To Qin Jin's surprise, he doesn't immediately enter another space but finds himself in a Void Land.

At a glance, nothing surrounds him, everything appears void.

But at the instant he appears, creation within this Void Land quickly begins to take shape.

In Qin Jin's vision, scenes of various spaces unfold before him. Initially empty, they soon start generating creations: enormous and fearsome monsters, uniquely designed and mysterious structures, and even cloaked, human-like beings.
