Chapter 1455 - 936: Eight Desolates Continent (2)

Compared to before, Yang Qingqing felt more confident now, after all, she had become a Saint herself.

Xu Feikong: "A few days ago, I talked with your disciple for many hours, and we confirmed many things.

But in the end, Xiaodu said that everything must be reported to Master Qing."

Yang Qingqing smiled but didn’t say much, instead gesturing towards the dining room: "Elder Xu, please."

"Please."

Everyone proceeded to the dining room and took their seats at Master Qing’s command.

If it were ancient times, would these disciples even have the privilege to sit at the table?

Du Yu didn’t quite know; anyway, he was placed next to Xu Feikong.

Everyone began dining, eating and chatting simultaneously.

Du Yu set his sights on the caramelized apple, picking it up with his chopsticks.

"Crunch!" Du Yu took a bite of the golden apple slice.

It was crispy and tender, fragrant and sweet.

"Mmm~" Little Fen Yang murmured softly, licking her lips.

Du Yu had many flaws, such as having a penchant for courting danger, but his strengths were clear, his culinary skills were indeed beyond reproach!

Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "Is this a new dish?"

It appeared, a fruit enjoyed in three ways!

Du Yu anticipated eagerly, asking in his mind: "How is it?"

Celestial Cyan Porcelain responded calmly: "Too sweet."

Du Yu: "..."

Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s cold voice echoed in his mind: "Next time, research some lighter dishes."

Du Yu rolled his eyes instantly, no need for research, eh?

Boil vegetables in plain water, isn’t that it~

This big girl has the same taste as Master Qing.

Thinking this, Du Yu immediately placed a slice of stir-fried bamboo shoot into his mouth: "How about this?"

Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "Passable."

Du Yu: "..."

"Hehe~" A graceful and beautiful laughter softly echoed in his mind.

Du Yu said helplessly: "After all, you’re a Supreme Lord, why would you still tease a child?"

"Du Yu, Du Yu~" Little Fen Yang was anxious, "Apple, eat the apple!"

"Alright, alright, I’m eating, I’m eating..."

Over there, Du Yu feasted heartily, serving two Supreme Lords, while at the table, everyone was engaging in delicate conversation.

Soon, they finalized the journey. Then, the focus shifted to the world they were about to visit.

"It’s a world that’s been through war, the Twin Tree Realm," Xu Feikong explained, "Over a hundred years ago, I accidentally entered that realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing, Fu Jianzhou, and others remained unmoved, while Li Mengnan felt puzzled:

Starting with over a hundred years?

These Seven Saints of Great Xia are all old monsters!

Xu Feikong continued: "At that time, the human race and the beast race had fought to the point of darkness and chaos.

Back then, I had just acquired the technique to traverse to the Otherworld, but was not skilled.

After wandering into that realm, I was attacked by the beast race, losing everything until I escaped to the Twin Trees, where the Divine Tree saved my life."

Du Yu nodded silently. Although the Twin Trees are neutral, there is no killing allowed around the Divine Tree.

Even when he was still weak, training in the Twin Tree Realm, he once camped under the Twin Trees.

Sleeping there, one doesn’t have to worry about being attacked by Demon Beasts.

Of course, the prohibition on killing has its premise; when the Cold Beast appears, the Twin Trees will not hesitate to kill!

In essence, the Twin Trees are not neutral; they transcend all species in existence.

As lofty Gods, they do not interfere in the battles between ants, but if foreign invaders trespass, the Twin Trees will not stand by!

Xu Feikong further explained: "Regarding the conflict between humans and beasts, I was powerless, unable to single-handedly make both camps cease fighting.

At that time, my strength was insufficient, I could not... hehe."

Speaking, Xu Feikong chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Even if I placed my current self back then, I wouldn’t have the capacity to stop the feud between the two races."

The dining room was silent, everyone listening intently without speaking rashly.

Xu Feikong gave everyone a different feeling compared to other Saints.

In meeting the other Saints, people would only marvel at their extraordinary powers.

However, when it comes to Xu Feikong, people see helplessness, frustration, and impotency.

It’s as if he is no Saint, just an ordinary person battered by fate.

"Continue."

Finally, someone spoke.

These words came from Du Yu’s mouth, but it was a cold, dignified female voice.

Xu Feikong glanced at the young man beside him and continued: "Recently, I realized that the Great Xia Continent might not last a millennium.

So I trespassed into the Otherworld again, trying to find assistance.

When I went back to that world, the war between humans and beasts had concluded.

Humans lost, utterly defeated.

The root cause was the invasion of the Youhan Realm, and the Divine Tree withered.

I once again reached the Twin Trees, to inquire about the situation from the Divine Tree and expressed my gratitude for its life-saving grace.

The Divine Tree did not remember me, after all, in over a century, it has protected countless beings, and I am merely one of them."

Xu Feikong paused then continued: "The Divine Tree understood my purpose for traveling, and asked for my help.

The Divine Tree urged me if one day I truly find hope, it wished for me to save it once."

Yang Qingqing: "When did the Divine Spirit Tree there wither?"

Xu Feikong: "About fifty years ago."

For ordinary people, fifty years is half a lifetime.

But to the Twin Trees and Youhan Tree, a mere fifty-year invasion is just the beginning of a struggle between two realms.

Yang Qingqing furrowed her brows gently: "The battle has just commenced, has the Twin Divine Tree conceded defeat?"

Xu Feikong shook his head: "The Divine Tree didn’t give up; it is still persisting. Similar to the Twin Trees in our world, it may endure for hundreds or thousands of years.

The Divine Tree merely... it merely foretold its own demise."

Calm words conveyed a sorrowful fact.

Compared to all living beings, the Twin Divine Tree has a clearer understanding of the enemy’s power, more clearly sees the distant future.

Du Yu suddenly spoke, breaking the oppressive atmosphere: "Let’s first number these worlds."

After all, every world they’ll go to is the Twin Tree Realm.

Du Yu suggested: "World Number 1 is our world, let’s call it Great Xia Continent, shall we?"

Everyone nodded, no objections.

Du Yu continued: "World Number 2 is the Ashen Continent we’ve been to."

Yang Qingqing: "Okay."

Du Yu looked at Xu Feikong: "World Number 3 is the one we’re about to visit..."

Xu Feikong: "Let’s call it Eight Desolates Continent."

Yang Qingqing pondered, asking: "From where does the term Eight Desolates come?"

Xu Feikong explained: "Earlier, I mentioned that humans lost completely in that world.

Now, the continent is rampant with demons, fierce beasts run amok.

Since the human race’s defeat, the beast race internally fell apart and gradually split into various factions.

Most beasts belong to certain groups. But there’s a demon beast faction, maintaining multiple demon beast groups, still operating as an army."

Xu Feikong looked at Yang Qingqing: "The leader of this army belongs to no group.

Even during the battle with the human race, it was the most terrifying force within the Beast Race Alliance!

But it is savage and unpredictable, even randomly slaughtering its own troops.

Since the Beast Race Alliance disbanded, few beasts are willing to stand by it.

Even so, it’s currently filled with fierce beasts.

Every demon beast group that dares to escape its rule will face annihilation."

Li Mengnan finally couldn’t hold back: "So powerful?"

Xu Feikong spoke two words: "Supreme."

"Supreme." Yang Qingqing habitually rubbed her fingertips.

Du Yu gently pressed down, the ceiling’s Golden Leaf immediately extended down, entering the woman’s hand.

Yang Qingqing toyed with the leaf and said softly: "What demon beast is it?"

Xu Feikong shook his head: "No racial classification, it resembles a tiger, wings on its back, vicious face, especially ugly.

I have visited multiple worlds, and have not encountered a second one."

Yang Qingqing pondered: "Since Elder named the realm as Eight Desolates Continent, could this beast be called Eight Desolates?"

Xu Feikong nodded:

"Eight Desolates Qiongqi!"

...

Four thousand words, asking for some monthly passes.
