618: Northern Desert Forbidden Land

"Hmph."

"Again!"

The Qilin Ancient Beast, dozens of feet in size, sprayed several streams of Qi from its nose and mouth, transforming into a misty fog that was about to spread across the entire fighting stage.

On the other side, five figures stood in the Void Realm, their expressions grave.

"Senior Brother Qi, Fellow Daoists, why don't we stop here? Sparring should have a limit. If we continue, it might harm our harmony."

At this moment, a gentle voice reached the ears of the massive Qilin and Zhou Jiajun's group.

Before her voice faded, a soft figure had already passed through the mysterious light surrounding the fighting stage, appearing between the two sides.

This figure, with a light veil covering her face, was none other than Fairy Gui Yi.

Fairy Gui Yi bowed to the Qilin Ancient Beast and the five people including Zhou Jiajun.

"Since Junior Sister has spoken, we shall conclude it here."

The Qilin Ancient Beast snorted, the mist receded, and before long, the Qilin vanished, revealing Qi Yuan, whose long, water-blue hair cascaded down his back, on the fighting stage.

On the other side, Zhou Jiajun was the first to dismiss the Ice Halberd in her hand, cupping her hands towards Fairy Gui Yi.

The other four Young Masters did the same.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait. Gui Yi has something to discuss."

Just as the five were about to leave and return to their stone seats, Fairy Gui Yi called out to them.

"It is indeed something..." Zhou Jiajun's heart stirred. "How could a Heavenly Venerate's personal Disciple come here without reason?"

"Fairy, please speak freely."

Romantic Young Master had a slight smile on his face, a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

The other three also stopped in their tracks.

If they could befriend this Fairy Gui Yi, it would bring countless benefits to both themselves and their Family Sects.

"Fellow Daoists, please follow me."

Fairy Gui Yi said to the five.

Then, she looked back at Qi Yuan.

"Senior Brother Qi, that place was established by our Human Race ancestors. Even if Senior Brother Qi's talent is extraordinary, going there will not bring him any benefit."

Fairy Gui Yi said with a slight apology.

"Since Junior Sister has made her decision, I, Qi, will not insist. These few people do have some capabilities and can barely accompany Junior Sister."

Qi Yuan still maintained an arrogant expression.

But in his words, he acknowledged the talent and ability of the five.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother."

Fairy Gui Yi bowed again, then led the five and Qi Yuan to fly towards their original stone seats.

Once they stopped, Fairy Gui Yi nodded to the several young Cultivators she had brought.

The few moved, distancing themselves a little.

Princess Huaying and Zhou Chuanting wisely did not approach.

Fairy Gui Yi extended her fair, tender hand and gently pointed, causing mysterious light to emanate and envelop Zhou Jiajun and the other five.

"So serious..." Zhou Jiajun's heart tightened slightly.

"Fellow Daoists, Gui Yi has a favor to ask."

After doing all this, Fairy Gui Yi's expression became solemn, and she bowed deeply to the group.

"Fairy, please speak your mind. I, Hua Manque, will certainly do my utmost."

Hua Manque was the first to express his stance. He naturally had to seize such a good Opportunity.

Moreover, if he could engage in a romantic affair with this noble Fairy Gui Yi, his Realm cultivation would surely improve rapidly.

"Fairy, please speak directly."

Young Master Zhi Yan, Young Master Chang Yu, and Young Master Chong Shan nodded in succession.

Gui Yi thanked them and looked at Zhou Jiajun.

Among the five, she valued this handsome Young Master the most.

That place did not emphasize cultivation but rather talent and Comprehension Ability, and the younger one was, the better.

This handsome Young Master's talent was extraordinary, and his Comprehension Ability was also impressive. To be able to grasp the power of heaven and earth at such a young age already put him on par with those extremely outstanding Disciples within her Sect.

"Fairy, please tell us what it is."

Zhou Jiajun hesitated for a moment.

A matter that would require a Heavenly Venerate's personal Disciple to ask for help was probably not that simple. Moreover, with so many talented Cultivators in the Dao Court, why would she seek them out?

She could not easily agree without knowing the details. If anything went wrong, it would not only put her in a disadvantageous position but also likely implicate her Family.

"Of course."

Fairy Gui Yi nodded.

"Fellow Daoists, in ten years, the Ancient Path of Spiritual Endowment will open. I would like to invite you all to accompany me to find an item within it. This item is extremely important to me, but it will be of no benefit to you."

Fairy Gui Yi paused.

"Ancient Path of Spiritual Endowment..."

"I haven't heard of it. I wonder if there's any record in the Clan's ancient texts..." Zhou Jiajun searched her mind for information about the Ancient Path of Spiritual Endowment but found nothing.

"Is it the one located in the Spiritual Endowment Forbidden Ground in the Northern Desert?"

At this moment, Young Master Chang Yu, a direct Disciple of the Divine Radiance Hai Clan, asked Fairy Gui Yi, uncertainly.

"Precisely."

"The Ancient Path of Spiritual Endowment is indeed located in the Northern Desert, but it borders the Eastern Wilds and was established by our Human Race ancestors. It is not as dangerous as other Forbidden Lands; however, to gain anything from the Ancient Path of Spiritual Endowment, one needs young Cultivators with extraordinary talent."

Fairy Gui Yi glanced at Young Master Chang Yu.

She was somewhat surprised. She had thought that this border region was unknown to anyone, but she had miscalculated.

"The Northern Desert is sparsely populated, and living beings are few. It is said to contain countless ancient forbidden places with endless Opportunities, but they also harbor rare dangers. Almost no Cultivator who enters the Northern Desert to seek Opportunities and good fortune returns..." Zhou Jiajun recalled the knowledge about the various regions of the Chaofeng Ancient Realm taught in the Clan school.

The Eastern Wilds are the domain of the Human Race, the Western Border is controlled by the Yao Race, and countless Spirit Races are hidden in the Southern Region, isolated from the two regions and rarely appearing. However, the various Spirit Races are all formidable, with some existing that can contend against the Ten Great Immortal Sects and the Five Great Yao Races.

The Northern Desert is the most unique, filled with countless Opportunities and dangers, containing various Forbidden Grounds, making it one of the largest Forbidden Grounds in the Chaofeng Ancient Realm.

"The Black Demon Great Elder once said that he had entered the Northern Desert to search for traces of ancient beasts, but he nearly perished there. However, the Black Demon Great Elder was very secretive about that place and did not elaborate..."

Zhou Jiajun's expression remained unchanged as she continuously calculated something.

"If it's just the Spiritual Endowment Forbidden Ground, then it's fine... I am willing to lend the Fairy a hand."

Young Master Chang Yu nodded slightly. His Old Ancestor hailed from Supreme Heaven, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and naturally knew many more secrets than the other families.

"I also..."

Young Master Zhi Yan followed closely, just as he was about to agree.

Boom!

The Void Realm vibrated violently. In the fighting hall, young figures swayed, interrupting Young Master Zhi Yan's words.

Zhou Jiajun and the others' expressions changed.

Just then, an angry roar entered everyone's ears.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, what petty scoundrel dares to be so audacious!"

This voice, accompanied by the might of a Void Refining Great Power, stabilized the Void Realm fragments where the fighting hall was located.

"It's the two Enshriners, Mo Yin and Mo Shang..."

"Something really happened..."

"I hope Old Ancestor has already received the news..."

Princess Huaying's face changed, her thoughts in turmoil.

"Heh... ants..."

At this moment, a cold laugh, like the sound of the Great Dao, caused the Void Realm where the fighting hall was located to tremble again, seemingly about to collapse once more.

"Dao Lord..."

"Do you know what you're doing?"

A terrified voice reached everyone's ears.

Inside the fighting hall, figures were greatly alarmed and at a loss.

How could a Dao Lord attack them...?
