Chapter 2740: Chapter 1012
Eastern Wasteland!
Year 3667 of the Mountain Sea Calendar!
Although demon beasts still occasionally cause trouble everywhere, the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World has finally settled down.
The two-hundred-year Demon Calamity seems to have slowly faded away, but the scene of ten rooms with nine empty, full of devastation, still reminds Eastern Wasteland cultivators that the demon clan in the Million Mountains could still charge out at any time.
Of course, such matters are what the big figures have to consider.
For lower order cultivators, this era is undoubtedly the best era!
The once lofty great sects, either destroyed or extinct, even those that remain are not half the glory of their peak times.
More than half of the vast thirty-six domains are also left unclaimed.
Everywhere, the battlefield relics and fallen cultivators’ ruins are filled with opportunities for immortality and enlightenment.
Therefore, when all the great sects are licking their wounds and recuperating, some small forces have begun to rise and establish themselves as kings.
Even the weakest rogue cultivators have seized this opportunity and desperately climbed upward.
In the past, it would be a remarkable story if a rogue cultivator could achieve Foundation Establishment.
Yet over two hundred years, Golden Core rogue cultivators have appeared repeatedly.
There are even rumors of a few powerful Golden Core rogue cultivators who have already touched the threshold of Nascent Soul formation, only a step away.
This opportunity to cross that step has arrived this year!
In the Fireworks Ancient Domain, inside a misty swamp.
Treasure light flickers, Qi power surges, figures fill the area.
An intense battle is ongoing.
Finally, with a part of the swamp exploding, countless pieces of corpses falling down, a man with skin as white as frost emerged from within.
He had no less than seven storage bags hanging on him!
All seven storage bags were stained with blood, the inheritance left by several Golden Core family cultivators who wanted to ambush him.
They all ended up benefiting him.
With a stretch of his hand, a six-winged centipede crawled out of the swamp and slipped into his sleeve.
Having done all this, the man couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
He glanced around, a flash of fierceness in his eyes, but he ultimately shook his head, suppressing his urge to kill.
His aura quickly concealed, and the man headed swiftly away.
Shortly after he left, the sound of breaking space came from nearby.
Soon, a few figures of Golden Core cultivators with family emblems on them appeared in the swamp.
Looking at the tragic battlefield in the swamp, everyone’s face looked exceedingly grim.
“Bao Hanjun escaped!”
“Seven Golden Core Ascendant Masters besieged him, and there was even an expert like Old Ghost Li, how could they fail?”
“Indeed, Bao Hanjun, the rogue cultivator renowned for mastering the strengths of many families, this battlefield’s traces show he clearly pre-set an array, buried numerous talismans, and had that six-winged centipede, likely having Demon Emperor bloodline, enabling him to fight seven Golden Core cultivators alone!”
“Forget it, we cannot seize the sect heritage on him. Moreover, he is extremely clear about grudges and gratitude; he’s likely to seek vengeance, let’s each return to our families!”
After some discussion, they agreed on a consensus, planning to leave it at that.
After all, Bao Hanjun is known for repaying ’every drop of kindness, every grudge tenfold,’ the reputation is too loud.
If he took the opportunity to seek revenge on their families, it would be troublesome.
But just as they were about to leave, an old man lingering around unwilling to leave started looking more and more troubled.
Those nearby thought he was angry about their elder being killed and comforted him in turn.
However, he revealed a message.
“The Shouyang invitation was on our elder, but now it’s vanished, taken by Bao Hanjun!”
Everyone was initially stunned, but quickly realized.
“Shouyang invitation?”
“Could it be the invitation to the Shouyang Mountain auction at Lingtian Xiongguan?”
“That’s the highest-level auction in the Eastern Wasteland after the Human-Demon War, hosted by Master Taiyue from the Taishan Sect, it’s rumored only Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects and some very powerful Golden Core families could receive invitations.”
“Your Zhang Family, even including hired guest elders, only has three Golden Core cultivators, how could you qualify for an invitation?”
Facing a slew of doubts, the Zhang Family Supreme clenched his fists, “Our Zhang Family has some ties with a deacon elder of the Taishan Sect, so we received an invitation. We originally intended to take this chance to gather cultivation resources at the Shouyang auction.”
A woman beside him sneered, “I’m afraid it’s not just about collecting cultivation resources, is it?”
“Lady Liu, what do you mean?”
“As I understand, there will be plenty of Nascent Soul formation resources at this auction. And it’s said there will be a Nascent Soul Formation Pill appearing that requires no threshold and overlooks cultivation technique limitations. Your target is probably that Nascent Soul Formation Pill, isn’t it?”
The Zhang Family Supreme took a deep breath, “Yes, you’re right!”
His eyes flashed as he surveyed the crowd, “Bao Hanjun’s strength far exceeds our expectations, I’m afraid chasing him alone won’t work. All of you being the lords of your territories, if you could continue to help me chase him and seize back the invitation, we can then pool funds to attend the Shouyang auction together. If we’re lucky to get the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, no matter who among us achieves Nascent Soul True Master, we can unite to form an Ascendant Sect force, dominating a domain for our seven families to cultivate together.”
Faced with his suggestion, everyone became eager.
Meanwhile, deep in the swamp, a man with frost-white skin sat cross-legged, his eyes on one of the storage bags.
“Is the invitation inside it?”
…
Jiuling Domain.
A woman wearing luxurious clothes, her ornaments jingling, hurriedly set foot on Nine Elements Peak holding an invitation.
The master inside had already known of her arrival, slowly opening a path through the Guardian Mountain Array.
