Chapter 2317 - Wu Yuhua

While Lin Yun and Ji Zixi were walking together, they couldn’t find any people. They also didn’t know where the streaks of light had landed. They ran into many demonic beasts, and Saint Realm demonic beasts could be seen everywhere.

In the beginning, Lin Yun and Ji Zixi weren’t too bothered by them. But when they were forced to make a move by those demonic beasts, they instantly understood that something wasn’t right. The cultivation of those demonic beasts wasn't high, only at the second or third stage of Saint Lord.

If these demonic beasts were in the Kunlun Realm, Lin Yun could kill many with one sword. But it was different in the Heavenly Barren Domain. They were incredibly strong, like the sounds of a ringing bell. Aside from that, Lin Yun also observed that these demonic beasts were somehow connected to the sky.

When Lin Yun managed to kill them after spending some time, he noticed a white light that was being given off by them. This instantly made Lin Yun surprised and he frowned, “Mhm?”

He turned to Ji Zixi and asked, “Did you see that?”

Ji Zixi nodded, “Yeah, I did. It looked like mist but it wasn't spiritual energy or a demonic beast’s ominous aura.”

With a wave of his hand, that mist entered his forehead before he could examine it. In the next second, Lin Yun felt as though he could hear dao by his side, and his gaze became strange when he opened his eyes. He said, “My Wind Dao improved a little.”

“This is weird.” Ji Zixi also tried it and discovered that her Fire Dao had significantly increased.

“It looks like the Heavenly Barren Realm isn’t simple,” Lin Yun muttered, absorbing the remaining mist. As they killed more demonic beasts, he discovered that not every demonic beast could give birth to the ‘miasma.’

He had speculated that some demonic beasts might be born in a secret realm, ate some sort of treasures, observed a saint diagram, or were blessed by heavenly dao. He released his Divine Light Sword Intent with his eyes becoming golden, and he discovered that he could differentiate those demonic beasts with the ‘miasma.’ This naturally made Lin Yun and Ji Zixi rejoice since it would significantly increase their efficiency.

“Let’s rest here a little.” Lin Yun started a fire and returned to what he was good at in the past, roasting demonic beasts. It didn’t take long for the meat to be cooked. The meat was roasted on the outside, and each one was evenly cooked.

Ji Zixi tried it before she began gobbling it up without a care for her image. She exclaimed, “These demonic beasts’ meat has the same effect!”

“It has to be further refined.” Lin Yun discovered that he couldn’t immediately refine the ‘miasma’ from the meat. So consuming the meat of those demonic beasts wouldn’t increase his saint dao. He had to refine and comprehend them.noVelBIn

Seven days later, Lin Yun and Ji Zixi finally saw someone while hunting demonic beasts to refine the ‘miasma.’ Lin Yun and Ji Zixi donned a cloak to prevent any trouble, and Ji Zixi even covered her face with a silk cloth, only exposing her eyes.

On this day, while Lin Yun and Ji Zixi were hunting, they saw someone a demonic beast was chasing. It was a snow-white wolf with a moon on its forehead, leaving behind a blizzard in its path. This was a rare demonic beast that possessed two attributes, and the youth looked pathetic while being chased by the wolf.

“Big Brother Lin, are we going to help?” Ji Zixi asked.

“There’s no need. That person might seem to be in a pathetic state, but he’s holding himself well. On the contrary, that wolf is reaching its limit,” Lin Yun said, shaking his head.

Lin Yun originally didn’t want to meddle in this matter, but the demonic beast sensed their presence and approached them as though it had spotted a delicacy. It abandoned the person it was chasing after and pounced at them instead.

Lin Yun was briefly startled, but he didn’t hesitate to unleash a sword ray that pierced through the wolf’s throat. With a loud explosion, the wolf heavily fell to the ground.

Wu Yuhua continued to explain various opportunities in the Heavenly Barren Realm, which was meant to bring out the potential of everyone here.

“One year?” Lin Yun frowned.

Wu Yuhua smiled, “A year in the Heavenly Barren Realm is equivalent to two months in the outside world. The rules of time and space are different here.”

Lin Yun didn’t take long to understand the situation in the Heavenly Barren Realm from Wu Yuhua. Wu Yuhua hailed from the Azure Cloud Realm’s Heavenly Sword Pavilion, which had some fame in the Azure Cloud Realm and produced many powerful deities.

As for the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, it was a powerful immortal holy land that spanned across several eras and could be ranked in the top ten in terms of sword dao. This was the first time Lin Yun heard that there was a force that spanned several eras, which broadened his horizons.

“Since the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is so powerful, there must be deities in it. So why did you guys come to the Heavenly Barren Domain?” Lin Yun voiced his doubts.

Wu Yuhua smiled, “It doesn’t matter how powerful our deities are, they’re definitely not as strong as the Heavenly Barren Ancestral Deity. He’s an expert in the Ancestral Realm. The Blue Dragon King from your Kunlun Realm was also in the Ancestral Realm and was famous throughout the universe with everyone knowing him. Furthermore, there are five spots in the Jade Tower Banquet. Most geniuses who come to the Heavenly Barren Realm are primarily here to seek adventures and opportunities. If they’re lucky, a year here could be equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation in the outside world.”

Wu Yuhua was an easygoing person, and he didn’t have any ulterior motives in his chat with Lin Yun.

Lin Yun obtained a lot of information from Wu Yuhua and not just the selection process of becoming the Heavenly Barren Ancestral Deity’s disciple. He even understood that only the realms who gave birth to a deity could truly establish themselves in the vast universe.

Otherwise, they would be considered as primitive and barbaric with fiend clans frequenting their realms, slaughtering their people just to refine some evil treasures. Or they would be enslaved where inhabitants would be treated like livestock, exploited for generations.

“Fiend clans?” Lin Yun asked.

“Fiend clans are a collective term meant for several invasive clans who worship ancient fiendgods. They’re considered the public enemies in the universe. Even a realm with deities might not be able to fend off the invasion of those fiend clans and could only rely on the God Alliance for help,” Wu Yuhua shared with unease in his voice.

The so-called “God Alliance” was an alliance of deities and the strongest force in the universe. But the internal structure of the God Alliance was complicated with many factions.

Lin Yun asked, “Are the Demonspirit Clan considered a fiend clan as well?”

“Of course. They call themself the Spirit Clan, and they’re one of the ten fiend clans that even the God Alliance is afraid of,” Wu Yuhua said.

“I see...” Lin Yun replied.

After they finished the Azure Abyssal Wolf’s meat, Wu Yuhua smiled, “I can see that you guys have nowhere to go. What do you think about joining forces with the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?”

He had a pleasant conversation with Lin Yun and made a direct invitation.

Ji Zixi smiled, “I see that you only want to eat the meat grilled by Big Brother Lin.”

“Haha! Lady Zixi is smart!” Wu Yuhua laughed even after being exposed.
