Chapter 291: 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Qilin Divine Tribulation . Tribulation of Scattered Immortals .

After Lu Tiange repeated the vow, Daoya Old Man took his essence blood . He asked for a drop of it from Zhou Xuanji as well, before combining the blood of both people .

Essence blood was blood and essence . Each demon or human had different essence blood, which could be used as identification in the cultivation world .

For example, enchanted artifacts and weapons required essence blood to acknowledge their owners .

Daoya Old Man waved his right hand and scattered the essence blood in his hand across the heavens and the earth .

The blood disappeared without a trace or sound .

“Just like that?” Zhou Xuanji asked with a frown . How come he felt like it was a scam and not credible?

Daoya Old Man nodded and said proudly, “That’s for sure . The heavens and the earth are witnesses . This divine ability is not simple . Less than five people in the entire Northern Wilderness Region know this divine ability . ”

Xian Xianghua asked curiously, “The ancient inheritance you and Xuanhe received, whose is that?”

A long time ago, DAoya Old Man and Xuanhe Divine Monk were merely ordinary people . It was only after receiving the inheritance from an ancient powerhouse that they became so powerful .

“Why should I tell you?” Daoya Old Man said with a face full of arrogance . He used to be really afraid of her .

Now, he was no longer afraid .

If you want to marry my grand-disciple, you better treat me well .

Murderous aura emanated from her cold-looking eyes, which scared him so much that he hid behind Zhou Xuanji .

Lu Tiange sat on the ground, paralyzed and in despair . His entire past flashed past his eyes like a mist .

If Dongsheng Empire knew about this, would he still have the face to be the Emperor?

He suddenly felt regretful and asked himself why he submitted to Zhou Xuanji .

But he really did not want to die just like that .

Once he was dead, he would have nothing .

Zhou Xuanji sat down on the ground and folded his arms .

“Tell me which sea region you came from,” he asked softly .

He heard from Ning Zifeng that the ocean was much vaster than the amount of land . Chaos Tide Sea was only a small part, but even so, there was more than one Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal .

He had been questioning why cultivators from overseas did not attack the Northern Wilderness Region . There were so many more powerful cultivators overseas after all .

There must be many secrets to all of this .

Lu Tiange had a complicated expression on his face, and he decided to endure it .

Since no one knew him in the Northern Wilderness Region, he could dispel the Vow Divine Ability after he returned and deny what had happened .

And so, he revealed his background .

There were a hundred and eight sea regions overseas, distributed outwards with the Northern Wilderness Region as the center . There was a powerful barrier between the Northern Wilderness Region and the sea regions . Travel between the inside and the outside could only be done through void tunnels .

Void tunnels were not stationary . They were located in the seawater and could not be identified with the naked eye . Since ancient times, no one could count the number of void tunnels .

Since a long time ago, empires in different sea regions had planned to conquer the Northern Wilderness Region to occupy the resources . However, due to the instability of the void tunnels, they could not launch a massive invasion . Moreover, Sanctums in the Northern Wilderness Region guarded the bordering sea regions, which prevented large-scale attacks into the Northern Wilderness Region .

There were many heroes and countless geniuses in the Northern Wilderness Region .

However, ever since the Hegemon Sword Emperor ascended, the Northern Wilderness Region had waned .

There were many cultivators like Yang Di in every generation tens of thousands of years ago .

Legends had it that the Northern Wilderness Region used to be bigger . However, because of the battles between powerful cultivators, a lot of the land crumbled into the ocean .

The Dongsheng Empire had already entered the Northern Wilderness Region accidentally five hundred years ago . That intruder faithfully collected intel for the empire .

Lu Tiange thought that the Northern Wilderness Region had totally waned, which was why he found the void tunnel and took the opportunity to invade .

However, reality gave him a heavy blow .

He cursed his informant in his heart at how terrible the intel given to him was .

“Tsk tsk . He’s feeling the same thing as I was before, thinking that he would fear nothing in the Northern Wilderness Region . In the end… Haha!” Ning Zifeng laughed mercilessly, which enraged Lu Tiange .

They were both from the sea regions, why did they have to make it difficult for each other?

Zhou Xuanji asked a few more questions and Lu Tiange answered truthfully .

Each sea region had an empire, which meant that there were over a hundred empires overseas . However, these empires had far fewer people than the empires in the Northern Wilderness Region .

After he finished questioning, he asked Lu Tiange to settle down at the mountain shoulder .

Zhou Xuanji ordered Lin Changge and Ning Zifeng to keep a close watch on him . This person was a Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal after all, and so he must be guarded .

“It seems like the world is far more exciting than what we imagined,” Daoya Old Man sighed in amazement . After listening to Lu Tiange, he felt how small the Northern Wilderness Region was .

Xian Xianghua snorted coldly, “Just a bunch of indigenous overseas daring to touch the Northern Wilderness Region . Foolish dreamers . ”

The others sighed in amazement too . They were all curious .

Zhou Xuanji, on the other hand, was thinking about another problem .

Who set up the barrier around the Northern Wilderness Region?

…

After Lu Tiange joined Skyfall, he received the same treatment as Zhang Kuanglan .

Every few days, Zhou Xuanji would come and suck his spirit energy dry . He was furious in the beginning and thought that Zhou Xuanji treated him like a pig .

Three months later

Lu Tiange grew numb, and his body looked emaciated .

During this period, he had seen Zhang Kuanglan .

The two of them met eyes, and they expressed the sorrow in their hearts even without words .

With a Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal providing endless spirit energy, Zhou Xuanji drew closer to the Great Realization stage .

Another four months passed, and he finally had the opportunity to break through .

He left Skyfall and came to a place hundreds of miles away to go through the tribulation .

He took out the Thunderclap Sword and began to absorb the power of heavenly lightning .

He brought Lu Tiange along with him intentionally to let him observe .

Booooom–

Thunder clouds gathered above the wilderness mightily and horrifyingly . There was only wild grass in a radius of a few thousand meters . Under the coverage of thunder clouds, the place looked dark and extremely bleak .

Lu Tiange was a few hundred meters away from Zhou Xuanji .

He was a totally different person compared to half a year ago . He had since lost the pride he used to have .

He looked at Zhou Xuanji with a complicated expression as he cursed in his heart ceaselessly .

It seemed to him that Zhou Xuanji was purposely provoking him .

After reaching an opportunity to break through by absorbing his spirit energy, he still had to watch the breakthrough . It was absolutely humiliating!

Zhou Xuanji sat down as the Thunderclap Sword levitated above his head and activated Golden Invincibility . Heavenly lightning coiled around his body like dragons .

An extremely powerful aura exploded from his body, shaking the earth .

At the same time, heavenly lightning appeared in the thunder clouds like dragons of lightning soaring in the sea of clouds .

“Roooarrr—”

A world-shaking roar came from Skyfall . Lu Tiange looked over, and the next second, he opened his eyes wide in shock .

He could see a giant Qilin head in the thunder clouds . The heavenly lightning weaved together the mountain-sized head . Its eyes were beaming with powerful radiance as it looked down on the earth like a supreme being .

“Qilin Divine Tribulation! How can it be! This is the tribulation only Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals would go through!”

Lu Tiange cried out in shock . He had seen other powerful cultivators encountering this tribulation, and that world-shattering scene was seared into his memory .

He immediately drew further from Zhou Xuanji, in case he was injured by the tribulation .

“Qilin Divine Tribulation! Such a great name!”

“But it’s nothing before my legendary sword!”

Zhou Xuanji laughed, and streaks of heavenly lightning struck him powerfully .
