Chapter 419 - 415: What He Needed

Several days had passed since their escape from the clutches of the Grey Sands Elves. After determining where he was going, Wei Wuyin and the others walked by foot. He soon realized that no one flew in The Desolate Lands, and Seekers operated within a certain range from wherever they were sent via Void Gates.

According to Chu Leitao, each city in The Desolate Lands had a functioning Void Gate established within, but they only allowed departures and no entries. If one wanted to travel to that city or another, they had to portal to a location away or a specifically designated destination platform that would be protected by the forces of the nearest city.

These destination platforms were protected by formations and arrays and guarded by experts. They were extremely suitable to ensure safe arrivals and lack of conflict. If one used random coordinates in their portals, they might be captured by Grey Sand Elves immediately from bad luck.

But the price to use the coordinates of the destination platform was absurdly expensive. Not only did one have to pay a fee to use the Void Gates, they had to pay a fee to safely arrive with certainty at a destination platform, and then if they wanted to go back, this process was repeated.

Unlike the Grey Sands Elves Tribe, each city aboveground was ruled by the native human forces and clans in The Desolate Lands or by elite clans of the Central Region. There also weren’t hundreds of cities established by these forces, merely twelve. But each city was absolutely massive.

Originally, there were many cities, but few could afford the cost of surviving after the Season of Regression nor had experts to defend against invasions by the vicious creatures of the four dangerous lands, so these clans would often band together.

When Wei Wuyin learned about these creatures, he quickly asked for clarification. According to Huang Yu, a native of The Desolate Lands, there were four types of devilish lifeforms that were born from the extremely powerful innate forces unique to these lands. For example, The Desolate Land had Desolation Devils.

These creatures had extraordinary powers and they were absolutely terrifying, besieging cities without end after the Season of Regression ended. There were always forces that wished to establish themselves within these four dangerous lands, but if they can’t resist the ambient desolate power and desolation devils’ assault, they would soon be eradicated.

This was why only twelve cities existed.

Grandquake City was one of these twelve cities and housed numerous native experts and Seekers within.

Wei Wuyin had heard the term ’Seeker’ often, so he asked for more information about them. These so-called Seekers were treasure hunters that explored and excavated certain areas in The Desolate Lands in hopes of obtaining Desolate Pearls. These pearls were like astral stones of the starfield, but they were all earth-attributed.

Fortunately, there were numerous conversion and refinement methods to transform a Desolate Pearl into Astral Diamonds. These diamonds were the main currency and cultivation resources for experts, roughly having three times the amount of astral essence as the Astral Stones of his starfield.Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished at novelhall.com

Supposedly, the ambient mana and unique environment of the world realm allows the rapid absorption of astral essence in certain areas, forming these pearls. They contain Desolate Power, so they could even be used to fashion resilient clothing and tools that can resist or contain desolate power.

Wei Wuyin soon realized that the reason he had been located and captured was due to his small usage of astral force on arrival. As for why they hadn’t been assaulted again, it was likely the city and its soldiers were in lockdown due to Ai Shanyuan’s death. They might even be actively avoiding Soul Idol cultivators or Seekers in an attempt to prevent them from dying needlessly due to misfortune. After all, any that met Wei Wuyin may as well be courting death with flowers, chocolate, and a smile.

Most Seekers used specialized clothing or tools that didn’t require astral force, just spiritual strength to operate, so they avoided them.

He intended to use his astral force to shorten that time, swiftly grabbing the three and tightening his grip around Ai Juling. "You point, I fly." After saying that, he brought Huang Yu to the front and waited for him to direct.

The bald Huang Yu was startled. The consumption of astral force was not little, especially flying with passengers. Excluding Ai Juling, the other three were flying by extension of Wei Wuyin’s power. They gasped at the mighty power that shrouded their bodies, feeling as if they were baby chicks held by a titan.

Huang Yu excitedly yelped. It felt good to have an expert with you! He pointed and shouted, "That way!"

Wei Wuyin laughed, his mood slightly improved by Huang Yu’s infectious enthusiasm. Despite his bald appearance, he was quite a character. With a smile, he urged his astral force and they zipped away as a comet through the world.

While they were awed by the speed of flight, Ai Juling’s eyes opened a sliver as she saw Wei Wuyin’s handsome face. Her eyelashes fluttered as she closed her eyes once again.

But Wei Wuyin wasn’t bothered by her actions, with his mood elevated a little, he could finally think clearly. These so-called Seekers, these areas that contained desolate pearls...

His Celestial Eyes shone with a mysterious light that seemed to pierce through the world’s veil.

This was it...

This was what he needed! Something that was only here and nowhere else!

Draconic Blood Energy!!

When he realized this, his heart started to throb with a tinge of conflict. Kratos knew what he was thinking, also understanding the possibility! Since their Bloodline Source was exhausted after traversing the void with just their internal powers and body, they had been limited in terms of physical energy quality and access to their bloodline abilities, but the only solution was Anu.

Unfortunately, Wei Wuyin couldn’t find the azure-scaled dragon anywhere. Its strength wasn’t at a point where it could be found so easily, especially if it didn’t want to be found.

But with the presence of this draconic blood energy on the continent, there was a chance...
