Chapter 1718: Dead Xi Huang
Now, only one final threat remained. The elites of the western nations were currently searching for the Black Water Heavenly God’s hideout. They intended to slay the Black Water Heavenly God while it was severely injured and truly end the threat of Black Water once and for all.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou. While this was going on, they had already arrived at Xi Huang.
Tackling the Black Water Heavenly God was just a side quest. Hunting for the evil suppressing spiritual treasure was their main quest.
It was too bad the Black Water Heavenly God didn’t know about this. Otherwise, he would have thrown up a couple more pints of blood and suffered greater injuries.
After passing through the western regions, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou traveled in the direction of the sunset for three days and nights. Then, without any warning whatsoever, they arrived at a barren wasteland.
People liked to enjoy certain places as wastelands, but they weren’t true wastelands. For example, the land past the western nations were mostly hot, dry deserts that were hostile toward most life, but they could still see some grass growing out of the ground, and there were even animals running here and there. It all proved that the land was still alive; that it still had a spirit. Its barren appearance was just one of its many, many expressions.
However, the land before them was completely devoid of flora, fauna, and even life. The earthly veins were completely silent, and the earthly qi was completely gone. It felt as if the entire place was dead.
There was no doubt about it. This was Xi Huang, the mysterious Xi Huang.
“This land is dead.”
Ye Qing was practicing the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture”. So, no one was more sensitive toward the land and the earth than him. He could sense that the land before his eyes—Xi Huang—was a dead land in every sense of the word, so much so that it didn’t even have any earthly vein or earthly qi.
If the land was dead, then nothing could thrive. It was only natural that no life existed in this place.
“Let’s go.”
