Chapter 443 Gathering of Young Heroes

The rich blood-colored light dyed the entire sky red!

Lin Xun’s heart quivered when he saw the overly magnificent phenomenon.

“Blood-colored light illuminating the sky, it’s a sign that the path to Treasure Drop Blood Plain is opening!”

The purple-dress girl was shocked as surprise surged in her eyes.

Lin Xun asked, “Treasure Drop Blood Plain?”

It was the first time Lin Xun had asked something in the past ten days, which stunned the girl. Soon after, she hurriedly explained, “Many ancient treasures will appear inside…”

Lin Xun’s heart stirred. Treasures from ancient ruins that could withstand the test of time would certainly be very powerful.

“It’s said that Treasure Drop Blood Plain is the most important forbidden area in Mount Luohou and attracts numerous apex heaven prides whenever it opens.”

The purple-dress girl was very cooperative, perhaps because she feared for her life. “The most peculiar part is that the passageway has a mysterious and ancient restriction: only Spirit Sea stage cultivators can safely pass. If your cultivation is too high, you will suffer a deadly backlash.”

“But if your cultivation is too low, it will be impossible to survive in Treasure Drop Blood Plain. Although it is a land of opportunity, it is also filled with terrifying dangers.”

The purple-dress girl earnestly cautioned, “Hence why those who enter are always the most apex Spirit Sea experts of the time.”

Lin Xun’s eyes abruptly lit up the moment she said this. He urgently desired battle and nothing would be better than the chance to meet strong opponents.

He immediately decided that he would enter this Treasure Drop Blood Plain. He would not only have the chance to search for some amazing treasure but more importantly, also fully materialize his aeth artery!

The purple-dress girl had never imagined that her warning would not only fail to dissuade Lin Xun but also make him more determined to go.

Her heart could not help but tighten. “Not just anyone will try to enter Treasure Drop Blood Plain. These individuals hail from old and powerful sects in the Ancient Spirit World. Those who aren’t strong enough will only be rushing to their deaths.”

Lin Xun glanced at her. “Are you afraid?”

The purple-dress girl’s expression changed slightly as she bitterly said, “I am. It is not a place someone like me dares to enter.”

As if trying to prove that she wasn’t being timid, she seriously said, “That’s not all. These ancient sect successors will be accompanied by Heaven Ascension stage servants. Due to these circumstances, not just anyone will have the qualifications to compete with them.”

Lin Xun frowned. “Didn’t you say only Spirit Sea experts can safely enter?”

The purple-dress girl nodded. “However, those ancient sects possess secret arts that can suppress their Heaven Ascension experts’ cultivation. They use this to trick the restriction and gain entry!”

“I see.”

Lin Xun mumbled to himself. Soon after, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at the purple-dress girl. “Answer a few more questions and I will let you go now.”

The girl’s heart shook. She did not expect the savage and ruthless youngster to be so soft-hearted.

She began to suspect Lin Xun of testing her.

However, she soon realized that she had worried for nothing. After asking her a few more questions, Lin Xun turned around and rose into the air. He did not show any killing intent from start to end.

The purple-dress girl was left dazedly standing there. Surprise, gratefulness, and confusion swirled within her.

Did he let me off just like that?

As she recalled the past ten days, she felt as if it was just a dream.

The most unbelievable part was that Lin Xun’s questions had been far too easy. For example, he had asked about the Ancient Spirit World’s factions, the origins of Mount Luohou…and other similar questions that were no secret to anyone.

“Could…could he be from another world?”

All of a sudden, the purple-dress girl realized something that made her heart violently shudder.

She recalled that Lin Xun had also asked about the Ancient Wasteland Domain. The Ancient Spirit World was one of the worlds in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

……

Rustle!

Lin Xun seemed to flicker through the mist.

The purple-dress girl was called Ren Miaomiao and had come from the Fire Refining Sect. She was a fellow disciple of Wei Jun, who had fled previously.

Lin Xun had obtained a piece of very valuable information from her: the Ancient Spirit World was one of the worlds belonging to the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

This was inconceivable. The Omega Secret-Realm’s fourth trial, ‘Conquering Domain’, had sent him to the Ancient Spirit World.

Could the Omega Secret-Realm be related to the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

Since the Ancient Spirit World belonged to the Ancient Wasteland Domain, could the world where the Ziyao Empire was located also be a subsidiary world of the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

More and more questions surfaced in Lin Xun’s mind.

Regardless of the answer, it changed his perspective as if he had suddenly discovered a whole new world. The Ziyao Empire no longer felt as important or big to him.

This was the influence of knowledge and experience. Like how a frog in the well would never know how vast the land or sky was.

Lin Xun was happy that he had somehow stumbled into the Ancient Spirit World, allowing his worldview to expand beyond the boundaries of the Ziyao Empire.

He finally understood why Bai Lingxi was so determined to leave and head to the Ancient Wasteland Domain during the empress's three hundredth birthday celebration.

It was for her cultivation and to see a bigger world!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lin Xun was suddenly roused from his thoughts. He detected several dazzling figures far away all heading in the same direction.

It was a group of young cultivators. They had strong auras and were accompanied by a huge group of guards and servants.

“Heh, do you guys see that kid dressed in rags and covered in injuries? How pitiful, it looks as if some beast trampled all over him. Could he be heading to Treasure Drop Blood Plain?”

A youth in golden robes chuckled when he spotted Lin Xun.

“Hahaha, there are many ignorant fools like him who believe Mount Luohou is filled with countless opportunities and hope to somehow stumble upon one that will allow them to ascend to greatness. Unfortunately, they never realize that weaklings like them are only rushing to their deaths.”

Another youth, who was dressed in blue clothes, laughed loudly.

“Senior Brother Wen is right. You have to risk your life to fight for these opportunities.”

The other men and women echoed in agreement.

‘Senior Brother Wen’ was clearly pleased as he waved his hand and said, “Everyone, let’s pick up the pace. I heard many strong rivals from other sects will also be there. Those of us from the Supreme East Sword Sect must be prepared.”

The group had shown a complete disregard for Lin Xun from start to end. Bluntly put, they had acted extremely arrogant.

You’d better hope I don’t see you guys in Treasure Drop Blood Plain!

Lin Xun icily chuckled inside. He was currently intent on seeking out opponents to do battle with and dearly wished that some fool would jump out to be his practice partner.

As the surging blood-colored light in the sky grew deeper and deeper, Lin Xun encountered more and more experts.

As he approached the origin of the blood-colored light, he saw dazzling lights soar across the sky and weave together into a giant tapestry. Groups of heaven prides began to appear one after another.

By this point, there was no longer any need for Lin Xun to find a path on his own. He only needed to follow the other flying lights.

In the end, they arrived at a barren land.

There were no plants or animals here. It was as if all life force had dried up, leaving a desolate and bald plain.

Despite this, there was an extremely terrifying aura in the air. The ground was red as if it had been soaked in blood and gave off an ominous aura that made everyone’s hearts shiver.

The blood-colored light in the sky had originated from this place!

Upon arriving, the many heaven prides grew cautious.

A ten-thousand-foot-tall blood-colored rock pillar stood at the center of the blood plain. It was damaged in many places and deeply scarred by the passage of time.

Blood-colored light was currently surging out from the pillar to fill the land and sky. It turned the place into a bloody purgatory that was exceptionally frightening.

Everyone’s faces were filled with vigilance, expectation, and nervousness as they waited.

They knew that a passageway would soon open in the blood-colored light!

It was the only path to Treasure Drop Blood Plain!

There were already far too many cultivators waiting on the plain while even more flying lights kept arriving, packing the area with more and more people.

When Lin Xun arrived, he could not help but narrow his eyes. There were ancient sect successors, disciples from the various great sects, and even more monster-beast and older generation cultivators that had stepped into the Spirit Sea stage many years ago.

Of course, the most eye-catching group was the ancient sect successors and their entourages. The men and women were very good-looking and gave off powerful presences. One only needed a glance to tell that there were definitely outstanding heaven prides akin to dragons and phoenixes!

They were accompanied by many servants and attendants. No ordinary disciple could possibly have such a grand entourage.

Many people began to point and comment about Lin Xun when he appeared. The others waited in their groups, dressed in beautiful clothes and armor, a sharp contrast to his bloody and ragged clothes. Moreover, he was all alone and covered in injuries, making him look all the more conspicuous.

“Hey, that person looks like he’s in really bad shape. I wonder where a factionless cultivator like him popped out from?”

“It seems like he just experienced a terrible battle. With such injuries, I can only say that he’s pretty ballsy to risk his life and come here.”

Lin Xun would encounter such comments wherever he walked, which made him frown. He distanced himself from the crowd and found a spot near the blood-colored stone pillar.

Everyone’s attention soon shifted away from Lin Xun as a series of gasps were heard.

“Look, it’s Cloud Jade Sky Mountain’s successors!”

Far away, a flurry of heavenly flowers suddenly appeared, accompanied by a sweet fragrance and a dream-like rainbow bridge.

A group of people could be seen on the rainbow bridge. They gave off divine auras like gods that had descended upon the mortal realm.
