70: Chapter 70 Preparations for Seclusion, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Stone Milk

Patriarch Han muttered to himself, still unable to figure out exactly who it was.

Having pursued them all the way, the deaths of so many big shots from top factions would shake the entire Northern Region.

If the various top factions came to inquire, even his Han Family would be in danger of annihilation.

He could even foresee that once this news spread, it would inevitably cause a massive uproar that would shake the Central Plains; for now, he couldn't attend to everything.

Whoosh!

Immediately, Patriarch Han transformed into a streak of light, heading toward Tianbei City.

Before long, a message was sent out, spreading across the Northern Region and the Central Plains at a terrifying speed.

The message Patriarch Han released was very detailed, stating both the location and the black hole!

"Could this really be true?" In the main hall of the Starfall Pavilion, Pavilion Master You Quan, dressed in a pale red gown, stood up in shock.

Her voluptuous curves were on display, and a sense of inexplicable majesty radiated from her body.

"Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

The white-haired elder from the Pill Tower could not maintain his composure either; he stood up abruptly, light flowing in his eyes as he looked at Patriarch Han.

"Patriarch Han, did you truly see a black hole?"

From the Burning Flame Valley, an elder in fiery robes had come this time. He stared at Patriarch Han and said solemnly.

The crowd was somewhat skeptical of Patriarch Han's words. They exchanged glances, then stood up and headed toward the site of the incident.

Later that day, a young man in black robes arrived in Tianbei City. A small sword was branded on his forehead, he was exceptionally handsome, and he held a long golden sword in his hand.

The person who arrived was none other than the senior disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Jian Wuchen.

After the commotion spread, Tang Ying of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion had received the news—a red and a blue sword talisman had erupted with heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power, enough to collapse mountains and split the seas.

Tang Ying mused to himself, "Could it be Yun Tian..."

At the disciple recruitment ceremony, only the newly accepted disciple, Yun Tian, had been gifted two sword talismans by him for self-protection.

Who could have thought this kid would cause such a monstrous disaster.

Burning Flame Valley, Starfall Pavilion, Pill Tower...

Tang Ying gave a bitter smile and said, "This brat really knows how to cause trouble..."

"Hmph, if he's dead, he's dead. I'll have to clean up the mess myself!"

Immediately, he sent a message to his eldest disciple, Jian Wuchen, who was away, asking him to go and investigate.

In Tianbei City.

Jian Wuchen learned of the whereabouts of the various factions, and then a golden sword light shot into the sky, tearing through the air as he escaped toward the horizon.

"What terrifying means, what destructive energy!"

The group looked at the deep pit, which was thousands of feet wide, with solemn expressions. They looked at each other, and all saw the gravity in the other's eyes.

"Patriarch Han, you saw a black hole here?"

The elder from the Pill Tower asked.

"Yes, a black vortex!" Patriarch Han replied directly, without the slightest concealment.

"A black hole. Could it be that the Minghai Forbidden Land is about to open?" the elder from the Burning Flame Valley said gravely.

"The Minghai Forbidden Land is a forbidden zone, but also a treasure trove. Even a Dou Zun entering it risks death..."

The Minghai Forbidden Land is the most ancient place on the Fighting Qi Continent, and it is also a forbidden zone for humans. The environment there is harsh, and fierce beasts run rampant.

There are even some fierce beasts whose strength is such that even experts at the Saint level would face slim chances of survival if they entered...

Both the Minghai Forbidden Land and the Desolate Ancient Domain are places where humans can hardly set foot. Anyone who enters faces a near-death experience.

These fierce beasts are bloodthirsty and irritable, possess low intelligence, but have immense power.

Even if a Dou Zun enters, it is not certain they can come out alive. This is the result obtained by humans at the cost of their blood.

Whoosh!

A golden sword light arrived. The Fighting Qi radiance dissipated, revealing the true face of the newcomer.

It was none other than Jian Wuchen. Just as he arrived at the scene, he felt a vast sword intent and frowned slightly.

"It really is Teacher's sword intent. Could the person who made the move be the new nominal disciple Teacher took in?"

Jian Wuchen muttered to himself; such destructive sword intent was unique even in the Central Plains.

The crowd discussed the matter. After a long time, these people retreated one by one, returning to their sects to report to the elders and make decisions. This news was simply too big.

Even those who came from the Burning Flame Valley, Starfall Pavilion, and the Pill Tower could not make decisions on their own and left in a hurry.

"Ah... so painful!"

"What kind of hellish place is this?"

In a mysterious location, Hun Tiandi, who had just awakened, felt intense pain throughout his body, as if someone had broken every bone in him.

"A black hole?"

Hun Tiandi remembered that after he used his trump card, the two extremely hot and extremely cold sword talismans erupted with terrifying power, sweeping across heaven and earth.

He had also been sent flying by the energy, and a black hole had suddenly appeared in the air, sucking him in uncontrollably.

In fact, Hun Tiandi felt excited in his heart and was very grateful for the black hole.

At that critical moment, it had swallowed him; otherwise, with such an extreme explosion of power, he would have...

"Hiss..." Hun Tiandi's soul power surged out and sank into his body. His bones were broken, his meridians were severed, and his internal organs were shattered...

Right now, he was like a shattered porcelain doll, ready to crumble at any moment.

Struggling to get up, he took a healing pill from his storage ring, swallowed it, closed his eyes slightly, and refined the pill's power to repair his injuries.

The first step was to repair his meridians. After healing them, the energy successfully refined into Fighting Qi, allowing him to return to his original state.

The rich energy in the air gathered around his body like birds returning to their nests.

The dense energy drilled into his body through his pores. The energy of heaven and earth seemed to have found its source and continuously poured into his body.

This caused him to be constantly washed by torrential energy. He could even clearly feel that this dense energy was extremely pure; with a little refining, it could be incorporated into his energy cyclone.

It roared through his meridians and finally gathered at the energy cyclone. Just as the energy was about to be injected,

The energy cyclone rotated at high speed, throwing out wisps of golden flame. The flowing energy was burned and refined by the golden flame into pure energy.

Otherwise, once the torrential energy invaded the energy cyclone, the pure Fighting Qi he had painstakingly cultivated would be destroyed.

After being calcined by the Yellow Spirit Fire, the energy shrank in quantity, but its quality improved significantly.

Hoo...

An hour later, Hun Tiandi opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath. His injuries had temporarily stabilized.

This was the most serious injury he had suffered since he began cultivating.

Scanning his surroundings, he saw rolling, beautiful mountains in the distance, dense forests, strange stones, and vines as thick as an infant's head, resembling giant pythons.

"Eh, there's half a stone slab over there..." Hun Tiandi suddenly muttered.

At the foot of the mountain, next to a pile of rubble and several large trees intertwined with a few vines, half a stone slab was tilted...

Hun Tiandi stood up weakly and walked forward. Two words were carved on the slab, vigorous like dragons.

"Minghai..." Hun Tiandi read. He made a preliminary judgment that this must be a place called Minghai something?

With only half a slab, he couldn't determine the rest.

"Forget it, I'll heal first, then make plans!"

Hun Tiandi didn't think too much about it. He excavated a cave near the stone slab and began to heal.

He continuously swallowed pills and refined energy to repair himself.

Finally, after spending half a month, all his injuries were fully recovered. He punched through the rubble piled at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing a ray of sunlight, a feeling of surviving a disaster arose in Hun Tiandi's heart.

Awoo...

Suddenly, terrifying roars sounded from the distance. Hun Tiandi's expression became grave, and his heart was shocked. The Minghai place before him... he feared its danger level far exceeded the Qifeng Mountain range.

In order to survive and get out, it was time to advance to the Dou Master realm.
