894: Chapter 883 Qingyun Kingdom!!

"Forget it, no use overthinking it, let's set off now."

Qin Yan stopped dwelling on the implications behind this announcement and immediately rolled off his bed, pushed open the stone door of his Immortal Cave, and walked out.

His goal this time was to find Huang Jiuli—that proud little Phoenix had also obtained the qualification to enter the Cangwu Small World.

Huang Jiuli's Immortal Cave was not far from Qin Yan's; before long, he was standing in front of the Immortal Cave shrouded by a crimson-gold flame Formation.

The walls of the entire Immortal Cave had faint traces of Phoenix True Fire flowing across them, and the surrounding air was permeated with a scorching and sacred aura; even the spirit plants by the roadside were nourished by this flame aura to be exceptionally lush.

As soon as Qin Yan stood still, the stone door of the Immortal Cave opened on its own, and Huang Jiuli stepped out from within.

She still possessed that heroic and spirited appearance, with crimson-gold flame light dancing in her Phoenix eyes.

"Qin Yan, congratulations. Both your Qi Refining and Body Refining have reached the Middle Stage of the Grandmaster realm," Huang Jiuli said.

"Congratulations to you as well," Qin Yan responded with a smile.

The aura around Huang Jiuli was also significantly stronger than it had been two months ago; clearly, during that time in the Temple of Time, this little Phoenix had gained quite a lot.

"Qin Yan, it seems you are truly highly valued by the Holy Land."

Huang Jiuli sighed with a hint of envy.

When she learned that Qin Yan had been exceptionally sent by the Holy Land to the Temple of Time to Cultivate, she could not even begin to express how envious she was.

The Taixuan Holy Land possessed more than one top-tier Dao field within the Temple of Time; the time flow rate of the Wanfa Palace alone far exceeded that of the Yin family's Dao field where she was located, and the two were simply not on the same level.

"It's alright, I also went to the Sea of Time for a trip," Qin Yan added nonchalantly.

The expression on Huang Jiuli's face froze instantly upon hearing this.

The Yin family naturally had quotas for the Sea of Time, but those incredibly precious quotas were almost all allocated to the True King level powerhouses of the Yin family, as only then could benefits be maximized.

Only super powers like the Taixuan Holy Land, the Temple of Time, and the Yuan Palace could be extravagant enough to let their Disciples at the Grandmaster level enter the Sea of Time for training.

Seeing Huang Jiuli's deflated appearance, Qin Yan stopped teasing her; after all, they were good friends who had fought side by side many times, so it wouldn't be good to strike her too hard.

"Let's set off," Qin Yan said.

Huang Jiuli nodded, and a high-spirited fighting will reignited in her Phoenix eyes.

The Origin of the Cangwu Small World held a huge temptation for her as well.

If she could obtain it, her foundation would be greatly increased.

Even if she couldn't, she hoped to gain something in the Cangwu Small World.

The two turned into two streaks of light, left Huang Jiuli's Immortal Cave, and sped towards the teleportation entrance of the Cangwu Small World.

A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at a towering mountain peak deep within the Inner Court.

Compared to other peaks in the Inner Court, this mountain appeared exceptionally desolate; there were no Immortal Caves on the summit, and no Disciples came or went.

There was only a patch of pitch-black space, silent to the point of being eerie, floating quietly in mid-air.

That patch of pitch-black space was roughly several tens of zhang square, and fine spatial cracks constantly appeared and healed at the edges, like a black curtain that had been torn and then repaired itself.

This was the only entrance to the Cangwu Small World.

"I didn't expect Long Aotian to be here too," Huang Jiuli's gaze fell upon the arrogant figure in golden robes standing directly in front of the pitch-black space.

Long Aotian still maintained that 'keep strangers at a distance' demeanor; his expression was cold and stern, and a faint pressure radiated from his golden dragon pupils.

Hearing Huang Jiuli's voice, he merely glanced faintly at Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli, without saying a single extra word.

His body then turned into a brilliant golden streak of light and went straight into that pitch-black space.

In the Cangwu Small World, everyone was a competitor; Long Aotian clearly had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with the two of them.

Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli exchanged a glance, did not linger, and walked side by side to the front of that pitch-black space.

The silver tokens at their waists simultaneously emitted a soft, faint light; the light, as if possessing life, gently wrapped around their figures, and then they both submerged into the pitch-black space and disappeared.

...

Cangwu Small World, Eastern Region.

The Void Realm above the vast firmament suddenly rippled, and immediately after, the figures of Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli emerged from the void.

Qin Yan looked down at the vast land below; what met his eyes was nothing but a broken land full of devastation.

Cities had collapsed, houses were shattered, and city walls were incomplete.

The streets in the city were submerged by weeds and vines, and fragments of broken weapons and long-rotted armor pieces were scattered everywhere.

On the ground, blood had dried, presenting dark red traces.

The air was permeated with a faint bloody smell and a burnt odor.

Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli descended from the sky into these ruins and began to investigate.

Qin Yan released his Mental Energy outward; his massive Mental Energy of 599 Hz spread in all directions like an invisible tide. Everything within a radius of several thousand zhang—broken blades, collapsed houses, weathered bones, and even the dried blood deep in the soil—was clearly reflected in his mind.

Ultimately, his Mental Energy locked onto a broken plaque half-covered by rubble.

Although the plaque was broken for the most part, the carved characters on it were still clearly legible—Qingyun.

Qin Yan withdrew his Mental Energy; combining it with the information he had learned from the Holy Land's data about the layout of the Cangwu Small World, he instantly determined what place this was.

Qingyun Kingdom, once a famous and powerful nation in the Cangwu Small World; at the height of its national power, even several neighboring countries had to bow and submit to it.

However, ever since the powerhouses of the Taixuan Holy Land stepped into this Small World and killed or took away all the top brass of the Qingyun Kingdom, the Qingyun Kingdom fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, leaving only one Grandmaster named Qingyun to struggle to support the entire country.

And a few months ago, that Qingyun Grandmaster was besieged and killed by two Beast Kings of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts; since then, the Qingyun Kingdom had no more Grandmasters to guard it.

The beast tide of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts then flooded this once prosperous land like a burst dam.

"Jiuli, we are currently within the territory of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts," Qin Yan withdrew his gaze and said to Huang Jiuli.

Hearing this, Huang Jiuli was slightly stunned and asked in return: "Qin Yan, how did you know?"

Qin Yan did not speak, but just extended his finger to point into the distance, signaling Huang Jiuli to go take a look over there herself.

Huang Jiuli was full of confusion, but she still flew in the direction Qin Yan pointed.

A moment later, she returned, her exquisite and heroic face now filled with incredulous shock.
