369: Finding the Master

"It's fine, I have something to find him for." Qin Tian's mind was made up. Even though the others' advice was full of good intentions, he was not shaken in the slightest and walked steadily towards the Old man.

In this Dragon Void, every step felt like stepping into unknown mist, but the belief in finding his Revered Master made him fearless.

"Senior, have you seen this person?" Qin Tian carefully took out his Revered Master's portrait from his embrace.

The woman in the painting had an extremely beautiful face, but her eyes also revealed a hint of unrestrained freedom. That was his Revered Master's unique temperament, and also the warmest concern in Qin Tian's heart.

The Old man seemed to not hear, not responding to Qin Tian's question. He only looked into the distance, his expression calm with a touch of vicissitude, and said lightly: "Go back, once you enter, you can never leave."

The Old man's eyes were as deep as the endless night sky, as if recalling a distant and heavy past. His voice was low, as if coming from the depths of time, filled with endless sighs.

Although Qin Tian knew the Old man's astonishing identity—an ancient dragon remnant Soul—he chose not to show it and did not expose him.

He understood that the Old man's words seemed plain, but in reality, he was warning everyone that there were great dangers hidden in the depths of the Dragon Void.

But for Qin Tian, having come here after countless hardships, how could he possibly return empty-handed?

His Revered Master was still waiting for his rescue in the depths of the Dragon Void. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he had to rescue his Revered Master. This was an unshakable obsession in his heart.

"Senior, the person is gone, the past is like smoke in the wind, why dwell on the past? The ancestor dragon has been gone for countless years." Qin Tian carefully chose his words, boldly inferring the Old man's origin based on the hints given by the System.

He guessed that the Old man before him might be an ancient dragon that once dwelled in the ancestor dragon's nest, having witnessed countless rises and falls, and the changes of time.

"Not dissipated, will return, will start a great battle again, and repel the enemy." The Old man muttered to himself. Although his voice was light, it was like a heavy hammer striking Qin Tian's heart.

Qin Tian's heart suddenly trembled, and a stormy sea instantly surged in his mind. Start a great battle again? Could it be that the ancestor dragon died in an earth-shattering great battle back then?

But the Old man also said that the ancestor dragon would return, could it be that the ancestor dragon did not truly die? Legend has it that in the mythological era, immortals and gods coexisted, and those powerhouses possessed nearly immortal lives, their existence even longer than heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, that glorious era full of mythological color is gone forever. Nowadays, even the strongest beings in the world have their Lifespans limited to one hundred thousand years, which is a world of difference compared to the immortality of the mythological era.

Qin Tian realized that this Old man must know many unknown secrets, but others regarded him as a disaster and avoided him.

"Senior, heaven and earth have changed, no one can live forever, the ancestor dragon will not come back, why don't you go to Reincarnation? Why linger here?"

Qin Tian looked at the Old man's weathered face, and a hint of pity surged in his heart. In these endless years, the Old man had stayed here alone, having surely experienced countless loneliness and suffering.

He persuaded the Old man to let go of his obsession, enter Reincarnation, and seek liberation.

"Cannot leave, can only be here, this is a cage, do not go in, it is very dangerous." The Old man's expression seemed somewhat insane, muttering to himself, vaguely responding to Qin Tian's words.

His voice was full of helplessness and despair, as if tightly bound by the shackles of fate, unable to break free.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian knew that it would be difficult to get valuable information by asking further, so he simply stopped asking. He understood that the path to finding his Revered Master, in the end, had to be walked step by step by himself.

"Ninth Princess, this place is dangerous, you should stop here." Qin Tian turned around and looked at Xia Jiuyue with a serious expression.

He knew that the dangers in the depths of the Dragon Void far exceeded imagination, and he himself was not fully confident of getting out alive. He truly could not bear to let Xia Jiuyue take the risk with him.

"No, even if there is danger, I will go with you." Xia Jiuyue's eyes showed extreme determination. She stared closely at Qin Tian, as if showing him her resolve.

She did not know why Qin Tian was so determined to enter the depths of the Dragon Void, but in her heart, Qin Tian was already her prince consort, the most important person in her life. Regardless of life or death, she was willing to go through it with him.

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Xia Jiuyue did not understand the danger inside, so he patiently explained: "Why are you following me? It is very dangerous inside, you might die. This place is just as dangerous as Taichu Mountain."

They had all heard of the terror of Taichu Mountain, which was a forbidden place that made countless powerhouses hesitate. The danger level in the depths of the Dragon Void was no less than that of Taichu Mountain.

"So what? You are already my prince consort, I will naturally go through it with you, even if it means death." Xia Jiuyue's eyes became more sincere, her tone carrying a hint of undeniable determination.

At this critical moment of life and death, her feelings for Qin Tian grew stronger. The vow of sharing life and death was spoken from her mouth, firm and deeply affectionate.

Qin Tian's breath hitched, and a warm current surged in his heart. A hint of emotion spread from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he left the limitess Sect, he had been trapped in the predicament of being hunted.

Within the limitess Sect, he was also heavily ostracized. Azure Sky Peak coveted the Piao Miao Peak where he was, and made things difficult for him in every way. Only his Revered Master always cared for him and gave him warmth and support.

Therefore, no matter what the cost, he had to bring his Revered Master back.

And now, Xia Jiuyue was the second person to stand firmly by his side, besides her, there was also Xiao Yan.

As for the other few Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, their relationship with him was not deep. In his most difficult time, they were unable to give him much help.

Although deeply moved, Qin Tian still did not agree to Xia Jiuyue going into danger with him: "You wait for me outside."

However, Xia Jiuyue's mind was made up. She silently followed behind Qin Tian, refusing to leave even a single step.

Qin Tian looked helpless, seeing Xia Jiuyue's stubborn appearance, and finally compromised: If you like to follow, then follow.

The two cautiously walked into the central region. As soon as they stepped in, the dragon energy, so thick it was almost solidified, surged towards them, carrying an ancient and powerful sense of oppression.

"The person you are looking for is in the Dragon Horn Land." Just then, the Old man's hazy voice came from behind.

Qin Tian raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. He naturally knew about the Dragon Horn Land. Ever since he learned that his Revered Master was trapped in the Dragon Void ancient land, he had gained a deep understanding of the Dragon Void.

The Dragon Horn Land is located in the inner core area of the Dragon Void, and it is a truly dangerous place. Since ancient times, even top powerhouses like Holy Lords and Emperor Lords have rarely returned alive after going there.

But at this moment, even if the front was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, for his Revered Master, he would never retreat.

Qin Tian continued to move forward resolutely, while in front, the Bear Country people suddenly stopped.

"These damned Spirit Devouring Insects, didn't they say there was immortal substance inside the Dragon Void? Where is there any immortal substance?"

Medicine Saint's voice was full of exasperation. He had originally come to the Dragon Void with high expectations, wanting to obtain immortal substance for alchemy. But along the way, all he saw was desolation, nothing at all.

In his eyes, this so-called Dragon Void ancient land was simply a worthless wasteland, far from the treasure land he had imagined.

"Ancestor, look what that is." A Great Ascension Stage Cultivator suddenly pointed forward, his voice carrying a hint of surprise.

Medicine Saint followed the direction of his finger and saw a blood-red stone lying quietly there.

Medicine Saint waved his hand, and an invisible force pulled the stone over.

He carefully examined it, his brows tightly furrowed, and he said doubtfully: "It seems to be a blood clot formed after the blood of some creature solidified."

After saying that, he moved the stone away, and in an instant, a pure energy spread out.

"Such pure energy, it makes my cells active, is this longevity substance?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Medicine Saint's eyes. Just in the blood of this dead creature, such powerful longevity substance was contained. Could it be that this dead creature was a legendary immortal?

In the perception of all beings in the Universe, even Great Emperors cannot live forever, only immortals can have eternal life. Could it be that an immortal truly fell here?

The more Medicine Saint thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. This place was so dangerous that even immortal spirits could fall. It was probably a place of great danger.

He originally planned to retreat and reconsider, but when he turned around, he was horrified to find that the way back had long disappeared, the stars in the sky were also hidden, and before his eyes was only a chaotic expanse.

"Not good, this is a dangerous place."

Medicine Saint's face instantly turned pale. With his Saint King cultivation, he should not have felt fear so easily, but at this moment, facing this place of great danger where an immortal spirit was suspected to have fallen, he could not help but be afraid.

Qin Tian, who was behind, saw the strange actions of the crowd and was also very surprised. What were they looking at behind them?

Qin Tian also subconsciously looked back, and this look made his expression instantly become serious.

He saw that the outside world had completely disappeared, as if they were isolated in an independent space.

"Not good, no wonder the central region is a forbidden zone, the way back is gone." Qin Tian's tone was full of worry. He knew that once trapped here, it would be extremely difficult to get out.

Xia Jiuyue also looked back, but her expression was unusually calm.

"Why aren't you afraid at all?"

Qin Tian was confused by Xia Jiuyue's reaction. In this desperate situation of uncertain life and death, she seemed not afraid of death at all.

"xia country is almost destroyed, now I have nothing left. As long as I am with my husband, I am not afraid of death." Xia Jiuyue's eyes showed determination, her tone carrying a hint of faint sadness.

At this moment of national ruin and family destruction, Qin Tian became her only reliance in this world. As long as she could be with him, death no longer seemed so terrifying.

"Isn't your father still alive? There is still a chance." Qin Tian tried to comfort Xia Jiuyue. In this desperate situation, he hoped to give her a glimmer of hope.

"He is dead." Xia Jiuyue silently took out a twin jade pendant. At this moment, the jade pendant had already broken into two halves.

"When I found you, my father was already dead."

Xia Jiuyue's mood was low, and her voice became somewhat choked up. She had been suppressing her inner grief, and only at this moment did she reveal it in front of Qin Tian.

Qin Tian was not very good at comforting people. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

After a moment of hesitation, he gently reached out and tightly grasped Xia Jiuyue's hand: "Then you follow me."

Since there was no way back, they would find his Revered Master first. No matter what awaited them ahead, he decided to face it with Xia Jiuyue.

Qin Tian continued to walk forward, while at this time, Medicine Saint and the others were already in Chaos, scurrying around in this strange and dangerous environment.

Qin Tian could clearly see the situation in front, but the people in front seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, unable to see him at all. This feeling was quite peculiar.

The direction of Medicine Saint and the others seemed completely lost. They were scurrying around in panic, yet unconsciously continued to walk towards the unknown ahead.

Qin Tian saw a large number of dragon Souls wandering around them. These dragon Souls had various forms, baring their fangs and claws, and were extremely eerie.

However, Medicine Saint and the others seemed to be oblivious to these dragon Souls, completely unaware.

A few Saints seemed to have sensed something and looked in the direction of the dragon Souls, but ultimately found nothing.

"These dragon Souls are actually invisible even to Saints, truly strange."

Qin Tian secretly marveled in his heart. One must know that Saints were already truly high-end combat power, enough to establish a Great Teaching and shake a region.

Could it be that only those with Emperor Marks could see these dragon Souls? Qin Tian was able to see them because of the mysterious Emperor Mark on his body.

No wonder they say that besides Great Emperors, any other creature entering the ancient land is on a path to death. The Medicine Saint in front is a Saint King, although not the strongest Great Saint realm, his strength is not to be underestimated, yet he has also fallen into such a desperate situation.

"Damn it, these damned Spirit Devouring Insects." Medicine Saint roared angrily, venting all his rage on the Spirit Devouring Insects.

It was because of a word from the Spirit Devouring Insects, saying that there were longevity substances here, that he didn't even care about the continental struggle and hurried to the Dragon Void, only to be trapped here, unable to go back.

Some Cultivators had already begun to panic, and fear quickly spread through the crowd.

"Ancestor, what should we do? Now, besides moving forward, there seems to be no other way, and I always feel like something is watching us." A demigod spoke, his voice slightly trembling, his hair standing on end, as if a pair of invisible eyes were tightly staring at them in the darkness, sending shivers down his spine.

"I have that feeling too, like there is something in the dark." Many Cultivators spoke one after another, their faces full of fear and unease.

Medicine Saint's face became even more ugly. He also truly felt the threat hidden in the dark, but no matter how he scanned the surroundings, he still found nothing.

Suddenly, a remnant Soul let out a sharp scream, like a sharp arrow, directly hitting the depths of everyone's Souls.

Outside, no sound could be heard, but in everyone's Divine Sense, the scream was deafening.

At this point, everyone finally confirmed that there was indeed something lurking in the dark, only they could not detect it.

"Quick, gather together, there are dirty things." Medicine Saint quickly shouted, gathering everyone together, while vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

However, it was all in vain. They still could not see the danger hidden in the darkness.

Just then, a remnant Soul, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, suddenly let out a loud cry and bit off the head of a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator.

With a "splurt", the Cultivator's head was bitten off, leaving only a headless corpse spraying blood on the ground.

Qin Tian's body suddenly froze as he saw this bloody scene, while Xia Jiuyue gripped Qin Tian's hand in fear. Although she could not see the remnant Souls, at this moment, she could truly feel a bone-chilling coldness rising from the bottom of her heart.

People are always most easily afraid of the unknown.
