Chapter 491 - 414: Current State of the Southern Wilderness
Under the bombardment of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, even the Tier Three Black-Maned Demon Boar could not make any struggle.
The purple arcs of the Thunder Power formed a net, weaving through the Demon Beast group, instantly extinguishing those Low-Tier Demon Boars.
"This... whose esteemed vehicle is this, to carry such majestic presence?"
"Judging by its appearance from the sea, could it be an adventurer from another Cultivation Realm visiting here?"
The elder surnamed Huang stared blankly, gazing at the sky in awe at the extraordinary Lingxiao Imperial Carriage, filled with indescribable feelings.
Those disciples at the Qi Refining Stage around him were stunned by the sight, filled with profound shock.
Just the demon beasts pulling the carriage could exterminate the Pig Demons that had plagued this area for years.
Who could be sitting inside it then? At least a Late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivator, or even a legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch.
For a moment, the cultivators’ minds were full of awe and apprehension.
After a few breaths.
The Lingxiao Imperial Carriage in the sky was steadily pulled by the Giant Crocodile and Jade Wave Sea Horse, gleaming with colorful light, stopping securely above the crowd.
The Huang Cultivator quickly stepped forward, deeply bowed to the vehicle, and respectfully said:
"Thank you senior for your rescue, this junior is Huang Qi’an of Xiaoye Mountain. If senior has any orders, I am willing to follow at the cost of my life!"
He felt the terrifying aura emanating from the Profound Water Giant Crocodile above, making him increasingly nervous.
He was already drenched in sweat.
By his judgment, the croc pulling the carriage must be at least Tier Three mid-late level.
As for the person inside the carriage, they needn’t mention.
"Xiaoye Mountain Huang family?"
A rather young voice echoed from within the vehicle’s chamber.
This surprised everyone present.
Because in their understanding, possessing such unfathomable cultivation would require several centuries old monsters.
"Where did you get your Cyan Nether Sword Technique from? Though your cultivation isn’t too bad... What is the current situation of the Four Southern Wilderness Countries? Why are there so many congregated demon beasts, is there another Beast Tide?" The youthful voice inside the chamber softly inquired.
The words left the Huang Cultivator puzzled.
Judging from the tone, it seemed the other was extremely well-informed about matters within the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
Even the sword technique he cultivated was known to them.
Could it be they weren’t outsiders?
Suddenly, a terrifying assumption emerged in the Huang Cultivator’s mind.
The senior inside the vehicle... could they be the famous Legendary Cultivator of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm?
That prominent figure could be said to be the most inspirational Golden Core Cultivator in the history of the Four Southern Wilderness Countries, rising step by step from a mere Spirit Farmer to a dual-title Grandmaster.
They had saved the Cultivation Realm of the Four Countries numerous times from crises, becoming a model in the hearts of the Southern Wilderness Loose Cultivators.
Only few decades ago, they seemed to have disappeared into thin air, with no further news. Some speculated they were secluded on an island, ascending to higher cultivation realms.
Now considering the time, it matches up.
In the Four Countries, there are only so few Golden Core Stage Cultivators that they can be counted on one hand, and with such profound cultivation, it’s likely only them.
The thoughts of the Huang Cultivator were exceedingly clear, and he instantly connected everything.
He never expected in his lifetime to have any interaction with such a renowned Great Cultivator.
The Huang Cultivator couldn’t hide his excitement, respectfully responding:
"Reporting to senior, this junior acquired the Cyan Nether Sword Technique from the descendant of the Spirit Feather Sect."
"Senior is correct, just a few years ago, in the Beast Roar Mountain Range emerged a colony of Black-Maned Demon Boars, these demon beasts have an exceedingly strong reproduction rate, almost impossible to eradicate."
"And having formed scale, they began to push nearby demon races, occupying outer territories, thus triggering another Beast Tide."
"Additionally, the flesh of these Demon Boars holds little value, having a horrible taste, providing no benefit to cultivators."
"Among the Black-Maned Demon Boar herd, at least two Demon Kings have emerged, the one just slain by senior’s Spirit Pet being one of them."
"This junior took the demon extermination bounty task from Vast Sea Immortal City to clear the beasts here, if not for encountering senior today, I fear we would’ve all perished at the beast’s maw."
Qin Ming listened to him, with some doubt: "Why is it merely two Tier Three Pig Demons have troubled the Southern Wilderness so much?"
"Isn’t there Ancestor Qingxuan in Profound Creek Valley? His cultivation is Late-stage Golden Core, and also Nalan Xi and Wei Wuya had broken through to Mid-stage Golden Core, haven’t they?"
Upon hearing, the Huang Cultivator sighed in lament and explained:
"Alas! Senior is unaware, Ancestor Qingxuan had already ascended over a decade ago, not only that, Master Gongsun Yang of Profound Creek Valley also exhausted his lifespan and passed away a few years ago."
"Profound Creek Valley now only has Ancestor Xuan Yu at Early-stage Golden Core barely holding on."
"Fortunately, it’s said Master Gongsun Yang’s direct disciple Fang Han is expected to break into Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster realm, to rejuvenate Profound Creek Valley."
Upon hearing this news, Qin Ming sat in the chamber with a trace of sigh through his emotions.
Unexpectedly time has passed, lands have changed, old acquaintances have perished and departed.
Formerly the most powerful Profound Creek Valley among the Four Countries has drastically declined, becoming the lowest ranked.
Ancestor Qingxuan indeed was a highly responsible figure of the Southern Wilderness, and also Master Gongsun Yang, with whom Qin Ming once exchanged Alchemy Dao insights.
