Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 655 - 302: Savage Wilderness Forbidden Zone, Trespassers Will Die_1
After a long while, Wang Xiu emerged from the jungle. He waved his hand nonchalantly, and the corpses behind him dissipated like ash. The aura around him was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.
"The Yi Clan truly deserves to die!" he muttered to himself. He had seen a series of images in the spirits of the slain Yi Clan experts.
「Decades ago.」
Zhuo Canglang and the others were among the first to arrive in the Nine Heavens, where they encountered the Yi Clan. At that time, no one in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths knew that Wang Xiu’s fate was uncertain, and he had most likely vanished forever. Thus, the Yi Clan’s sole intention was revenge for the death of their prodigy at Wang Xiu’s hands.
Of course, they wouldn’t admit this publicly. As shameless as the Yi Clan was, they could not blatantly use such a disgraceful reason to attack the people of Sanqing. After all, many experts had personally witnessed the Yi Clan’s prodigy fall to Wang Xiu in a battle between equals.
So they invented an excuse, slandering Zhuo Canglang and the others by accusing them of stealing the Yi Clan’s great treasures. They used this as a pretext to attack and demand to search them.
Zhuo Canglang and his comrades’ minds were as clear as mirrors. Naturally, they wouldn’t surrender without a fight, so a great battle inevitably erupted. The people of Sanqing were certainly not weak. Whether it was Zhuo Canglang, Luo Binglan, or Dugu Qingqian, all were experts in the Earth Immortal Realm. In the eyes of the people of the Nine Heavens, however, they had no chance of winning.
After all, it was widely known that there was a huge gap between the cultivation environments of the Nine Heavens and the Ten Lands. There was a significant difference in both the purity of faith and the quantity of Immortal Qi, especially after the Emergence Stage. With each breakthrough, the power gap between cultivators from the Lower Realm and their Upper Realm counterparts would widen.
There was an informal but widely accepted saying: an Earth Immortal from the Nine Heavens could defeat two and a half Earth Immortals of the same cultivation level from the Lower Realm.
...
However, the strength exhibited by Zhuo Canglang and his companions far exceeded their expectations. In a single exchange, they killed five of the Yi Clan’s Earth Immortals, and it seemed to be effortless.
The Yi Clan was furious. They dispatched their own experts to surround and intercept them. At the same time, they sent many subsidiary forces—a total of twelve Earth Immortals above the Seven Tribulations and three Twelve-Tribulation Heavenly Immortals—to encircle and kill Zhuo Canglang and the others.
That battle had a tremendous impact, shattering endless mountain ranges. The surrounding ancient cities were reduced to dust in the fierce clash between the two groups.
The Yi Clan expert Wang Xiu had killed was only watching from a distance at the time. He vaguely saw rifts tear open in the void, with countless streams of Chaotic Qi cascading down. It was as if the Firmament itself had cracked open. Divine light surged within, each ray radiating a world-ending aura capable of easily obliterating any expert below the Earth Immortal Realm. It was a terrifying sight. Everywhere it passed, countless lives were extinguished.
But in the end, Zhuo Canglang and his two companions still managed to escape. They split up in three different directions, broke out of the encirclement, and vanished without a trace. The Yi Clan, for their part, had paid the price with the lives of another three Earth Immortals, yet they had gained nothing.
The Yi Clan naturally refused to accept this outcome and wanted to continue the pursuit. But at this moment, they met resistance. Within the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, ancient forces like the Xuan Tian Sect, the Zhan Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Dragon Clan suddenly stood up together to express their strong dissatisfaction with the Yi Clan’s actions. Even the Yu Family voiced their opposition, claiming that the Yi Clan’s conduct severely disrupted the peace and stability of the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm.
The Yi Clan’s sphere of influence was primarily in the Three Southern Barbarian States of the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm. Beyond these three states, their influence was greatly diminished. How could they stand against the resistance of so many Ancient Clans and great families? The matter eventually escalated, even alerting the Holy Land. No matter how reluctant the Yi Clan was, they had no choice but to let the matter rest.
...
"Xuan Tian Sect... Zhan Clan... Sea Clan... Dragon Clan..." Wang Xiu muttered, recalling faces associated with these names. On Longhuang Island, he had saved the lives of many Proud Children of the Nine Heavens.
Karma is real. It seems my reward has come in this form.
Although they are the prodigies of their clans, very few can truly hold sway. They are still young and can hardly influence the decisions of their superiors... Wang Xiu understood that aside from a few exceptionally esteemed individuals like Zhao Qingyu and Ao Canghai, the vast majority were just young prodigies without much power. Even Yu Xiaolong, despite his remarkable background as the second son of the colossal Yu Family, clearly lacked the authority to command the entire family in such a major affair. Even for the likes of Zhao Qingyu, their word was not law. They had teachers and elders above them and could, at most, only influence decisions.
It was for this reason that the great Ancient Clans and powers did not initially step forward to support Zhuo Canglang and the others. It was only when the commotion grew and began to affect their own domains that they intervened, but only after confirming that Zhuo Canglang and his group were worthy of their assistance.
These Ancient Clans won’t be easily swayed by so-called sentiment; only interests can move them... Wang Xiu exhaled slowly, the worry in his eyes undiminished.
Afterward, although the Yi Clan was compelled by the situation to no longer pursue Zhuo Canglang and the others so openly, they secretly dispatched countless spies to track any movements of the Sanqing members. Moreover, at the passage between the two realms, the Yi Clan stationed numerous experts to inspect and question anyone from the Upper Realm associated with Sanqing or Wang Xiu. Clearly, they couldn’t swallow their pride.
It was under these circumstances that Li Xuanqi and the others arrived in the Upper Realm one by one, clashing with the Yi Clan once more. Li Xuanqi’s strength was extraordinary. After entering the Soul Travel Realm, her combat power had undergone a revolutionary change. Even when more than ten Yi Clan experts of the same realm attacked together, they failed to capture her. They only managed to injure her severely, forcing her to flee into a terrifying Fierce Beast’s den in the Savage Wilderness. Afterward, her fate was unknown.
The Yi Clan refused to give up. They laid an inescapable dragnet around the Fierce Beast’s den, but after many years with no sign of her, they eventually presumed her dead.
Later, when Ji Zidian, Jiang Ling’er, and Li Zuoyue arrived consecutively, they faced the same situation. All were pursued and targeted by the Yi Clan, forcing them to flee into the Savage Wilderness. However, they were saved by a mysterious person and vanished without a trace. It was only then that the Yi Clan experts realized Li Xuanqi had not died. She had a fortuitous encounter in that Fierce Beast’s den, and her strength had soared far beyond its former level. The only reason she hadn’t left was to watch over the passage and prevent others connected with Sanqing from being caught off guard by the Yi Clan.
Upon learning this, the Yi Clan was enraged. They were, after all, a renowned Ancient Clan. Their ancestor had once shot down a Great Emperor. How could they tolerate being played with time and time again? Throwing all rules aside, they dispatched Saints and even Earth Immortals to eradicate these remnants of Sanqing once and for all.
However, the fortuitous opportunity Li Xuanqi had found in the Fierce Beast’s den was unimaginably profound. At the critical moment, she burned ninety percent of her lifespan and Cultivation Level, risking the complete annihilation of her physical body and Divine Soul. This allowed a Beast Emperor to possess her, unleashing an unprecedented power. She forcibly broke through the encirclement with everyone in tow, escaping toward the deepest part of the Savage Wilderness.
As is well known, the deepest part of the Savage Wilderness is a forbidden zone!
Earth Immortals shall not advance!
Quasi-Emperors dare not enter!
Trespassers shall die
