Chapter 1454: Chapter 1553: Separation
As the roaring sound echoed, those two terrifying eyes slowly closed. Once they closed, all the red light and black-and-white light vanished. The mysterious space, eerie and oppressive, was suddenly opened up. The temperature across the entire cliff began slowly returning to zero, and as for the so‑called Tuoba Clan’s revenge, it never came.
Right now, the Tuoba Clan was busy dividing up the ancient Dan Tai Clan with the other three powers. The big figures had no time. Besides, whether the Tuoba Clan even had any information about the Fu Feng Saint was still uncertain.
The ancient Dan Tai people were utterly miserable. After the ruins of the Dan Tai Imperial City and the Guardian Clan Array were completely destroyed, the new Sect Master, the Dan Tai Heavenly Person, decided to move the clan to the largest subordinate battalion under his command, because there was still a strong Guardian Clan Array there. Its power was far inferior to that of the ancient Dan Tai Sect, but at least it could help them weather the crisis. He had not expected that the vassal forces had already colluded with the four great powers of Tuoba, Zhuansunx, Huangfu, and Duanmu. They still imagined that, just as the Tuoba Clan once went to the Shentu Clan and the Duanmu Clan went to the Baili Gou Clan, they could step up and replace them.
Thus the ancient Dan Tai Clan suffered enemies from both sides and fell into an even more desperate situation. The Heavenly Person who had just taken up the position of Clan Leader was killed, including many elites of the Shentu army such as the Great Ape King and Si Tunan, who had survived the catastrophe in the Dan Tai Imperial City. They all died in the final resistance. Although the ancient Dan Tai Clan still had many scattered troops fighting for their clan, and large tracts of territory still remained loyal to the ancient Dan Tai Clan, their deaths were inevitable.
As for those ambitious vassal forces, they came to no good end. Although they also had several Holy Lands to sit upon, they were far from the other four powers. Once the four powers had used them up, they immediately turned on them. They had defended the Emperor’s great Battle Team formation, and when they were helping exterminate the ancient Dan Tai people, they had already flung the gates wide open for the four powers. By the time they wanted to start anew, they had already been largely destroyed. They truly killed themselves and became a laughingstock of shame.
The Yanxiao Territory and Wanfeng Territory were both very small lands, and the clans within their borders were weak. The Star Heaven Sect fought other forces here, but the impact was limited. However, the annihilation war of the four powers against the ancient Dan Tai Clan had already spread across the entire boundless Domain. Even though the defeat of the ancient Dan Tai Clan was already certain, for the four powers to completely devour it would not be something done in ten or eight years. After all, this was an ancient clan that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
In short, the only word for the current endless Domain was—chaos.
But Qin Feng did not tell Dan Taixue, because there was no news of Dan Taixue and the Gray Fox Demon, and there was also no news of Dan Taixue’s father now. Qin Feng had no idea what had happened in such a chaotic and boundless region, so naturally he did not want Dan Taixue to worry about the great turmoil of the Dan Tai.
Compared with other boundless places, after the struggles in the Star Heaven Sect and Fumin ended, their side had entered a rare period of peace again. Outside was a complete mess. No one had spare power to come destroy the peace of the Yanxiao area.
After everything was settled, Qin Feng finally decided to return to the Five Star Sect to take a look.
"Huu..."
A fierce wind howled, and Qin Feng, like a colorful ribbon, shuttled between the blue sky and Bai Yun.
In the past, when he wandered in this region, it was full of dangers and opportunities. He had never thought that after a few years, he would become the Overlord here. Even the Canghong Mountain, which the world regarded as a chilling taboo, now seemed nothing special in his eyes.
The strongest Beasts in the Canghong Mountain Range were Ji Jing Level, and all of them were lower-level Ji Jing. After crossing the wilderness and passing through Mang Mountain to return here, he truly felt that this place was no longer so frightening.
"Ah?"
Suddenly, Qin Feng looked down from afar.
"The Spirit of the Skyfire Ruins once said that people in extreme environments, if they broke into the core of the Fire Ruins, would die. Now I have the power of the extreme environment. When I come back from the Five Star Sect, I’ll break through it!" Qin Feng made a decision.
In the ruins there was a huge power from a Fallen Holy Kingdom. The creations and separations left behind by that one person were enough to make Qin Feng take the risk. Ever since Zhai Zunze, Gu Yuyan, and Yu’s dagger died, it seemed only he and Baili Yue knew the way to the Skyfire Ruins.
"My current separations are only the lowest level of separation. If I can obtain a few high-level created Spiritual bodies, my future work will be more than half done." Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. "All right, let’s go watch the show first."
Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly sped up.
Their territory was not large.
Three thousand Disciples climbed step by step with solemn expressions,
In the past, at the foot of the mountain, the ladder had seemed so high in their eyes, every step so difficult. In the past, looking up from the Sky-reaching Ladder, the entire Wuxing Immortal Mountain had been towering and magnificent, filling them with infinite longing. Once, the spiritual power here had made them marvel at the Immortal Realm...
But now, these people had already seen the outside world. After witnessing countless grand scenes, perhaps the Five Elements Living Objects in their eyes now were very, very ordinary. The mountain was no longer so majestic, the aura no longer so overwhelming, and the steps of the ladder, taken one by one, were no longer so hard...
Yet their mood had never changed, and their feelings for this place had only deepened.
The three thousand disciples had gone out like fledgling birds, with their futures uncertain. When they returned, even the weakest among them, at the peak of the Five Elements, was no weaker than a Master in strength. But in many people’s hearts, this was still their home—the predecessor of the starry sky.
At this moment, all three thousand were Five Elements Disciples, every single one of them. Even Dan Taixue, Baili Yue, Adong, you becoming Emperor, a Luo Yi related to Qin Feng—so long as they were not Five Elements Disciples, they had not come out this time.
Qin Feng, Tiantian, Gu Hai, and Shao Yilong walked at the front. From time to time he secretly looked back and saw Liu Rufei, that girl who had lived in the water, whispering with a group of girls, and he could not help but smile wryly. Now, his relationship with Liu Rufei was of no particular importance. Although he and Liu Rufei had gone through a lot and feelings had indeed arisen, now, if not spoken of, it was hard to say that there was anything that could truly support them to face things together. If anything, feelings were something anyone could talk about nicely—though Liu Rufei had heard people say that various things had happened, and even if she knew in her heart that the relationship with her was C, once all this lacked an emotional foundation, it could not be forced.
"It’s..."
Suddenly, Shao Yilong and Gu Hai ahead both cried out in surprise. Inside the compound, an old, simply dressed elder, his clothes in tatters, was carefully sweeping away fallen leaves with a broom—one sweep at a time, very old, very slow, yet very solemn.
Seen from afar, this old man looked no different from an ordinary elder; if placed in a crowd, probably no one could recognize him. Yet he had once been the Earth Master’s Five Elements Grandmaster. Even now, although his strength in this region was small, he was still one of the top experts. If he wished, he could easily gain wealth and honor, but he chose silence.
"It’s..."
"Zhang..."
Many disciples, especially those of the Tu Fen Sect, were extremely excited and knelt down. This was the last of the Five Elements Sect seniors.
"Yilong, Gu Hai, you... you all came back!" Sha Shiyi, seeing the disciples, seemed to see his children. He was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he hurriedly threw away the broom and came forward.
"Master, how did you get this old?" Shao Yilong looked at Sha Shiyi and could not help but feel a stab of distress.
Gu Hai also felt a bit uncomfortable. At this moment, Sha Shiyi’s hair was completely gray. You had to know, they had only been gone a little over four years—just over four years. Before this, Sha Shiyi’s Spirit had been very good; he had looked like a middle-aged Jiang Da in his fifties.
