"That’s a Thunder Spirit born from the destructive aura of the Thunder Dao!"

Toady gasped as his golden pupils glowed. ''It’s one of the main ingredients for creating Saint treasures and will raise the quality of the end product by a significant amount!"

The big black bird warned, "Don’t even think about it. That Thunder Spirit can only be subdued by a Saint expert. Don’t drag us along if you want to die."

Lin Xun inwardly shivered as well.

A Thunder Spirit born from Thunder Dao was not only extremely rare but also an extremely terrifying existence that was unmatched under the Saint stage!

At closer inspection, the Thunder Spirits resembled gods roaming the world of thunder and exuded boundlessly terrifying auras.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry about being targeted by the Thunder Spirits as long as they continued to walk on the white rainbow-like path.

Lin Xun cautioned, "Careful, this is the only path that leads to the Ancient Land of All. Things might get hairy if someone tries to set up an ambush."

The moment he said this, Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and suddenly thrust his finger.

Omm!

A blast of pure and condensed finger-force shot out and disappeared.

At a seemingly empty corner several thousand feet away, a black-clothed youth was lying in wait while concealed under a mysterious aura.

He had already detected someone gradually approaching, causing a cruel smile to rise from the corners of his mouth.

Over the past few days, he had ambushed and killed several experts, earning him quite a hefty fortune.

"Eh?"

The black-clothed young man frowned as an unexplainable sensation of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

Before he could react, a blast of unrivaled finger-force suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Plop!

A string of blood splattered behind him as the black-clothed youth's eyes widened in disbelief before he crumpled to the ground.

A bloody hole had appeared between his brows.

Lin Xun’s group arrived soon after. Toady quickly searched the black-clothed youth’s corpse and gleefully retrieved a heavy storage bag.

Toady commented with a grin, "From the fortune he has accumulated, he must have killed quite a number of experts."

"What was that technique you used earlier?"

The big black bird, on the other hand, looked at Lin Xun in astonishment. It was frightening to think that he had killed a supreme heaven pride at the fourth longevity tribulation stage from a distance of several thousand feet away. Moreover, the target didn’t even manage to react!

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

It was the Omni-Finger technique!

As its name implied, the third move of the Great Diffusion Void Breaker Finger could kill the enemy no matter where they were hiding or how far away they were!

It was a technique that had already begun to touch upon the profoundness of spatial usage.

Of course, Lin Xun still wasn’t a Saint expert and wasn’t able to master spatial power. Hence, he was at most able to utilize very limited applications of spatial power through the Omni-Finger technique.

Even so, such power wasn’t something that ordinary experts could withstand.

The big black bird was astonished because it had detected a tiny hint of spatial power hidden in the technique.

The three of them continued onward. Along the way, they would occasionally come across experts who were similarly lying in ambush.

These experts were adept in the art of concealment. Some of them were even able to transform themselves into dust, light, or shadow, making it impossible to guard against them.

Unfortunately, none of them could hide from Lin Xun's terrifying spirit sense and were killed one after another.

As a result, Lin Xun and his group gradually picked up quite a fortune. The number of King-grade herbs retrieved from these experts alone added up to over a hundred.

Other notable finds included some aeth resources and divine materials with considerable value.

Soon after, the scenery before Lin Xun’s eyes changed, and he found that they had arrived in a mountainous region.

Majestic mountain after mountain towered over the land, each exuding a distinct presence.

There were red mountains that seemed to burn with a hazy glow as if they were giant furnaces.

There were mountains that looked as if they were made of divine gold. Every rock, tree, and even the grass on these mountains were sharp as swords. The golden mountains also emitted harsh golden rays and exuded a grim killing qi that swept across the land.

There were mountains that resembled giant piles of ice and snow. They were covered in a bone-chilling cold that froze the nearby air.

......

Mountains were spread out as far as the eye could see. Together, they seemed to hint at the cycle of the four seasons, the harmony of the five elements, the alternation of yin and yang, and the rhythm of all things to the most magnificent and gorgeous extreme!

This was the Ancient Land of All!

Toady was in complete awe. "My god, I can’t believe it's possible to make all of this harmonize so naturally. Even Saint experts probably can’t achieve such a heaven-defying feat, right?"

"If one were to cultivate here, they would be able to experience various grand daos which will greatly benefit their cultivation."

The big black bird's eyes shone as it clicked its tongue in admiration.

Lin Xun took out a jade token and shattered it, causing a flash of light to shoot out and disappear into the horizon.

It was the token from Holy Maiden Lin Xue.

After a few seconds, a beautiful silhouette shrouded in a holy icy mist appeared in the distant sky. With flowing black hair, a beautiful face that could cause the downfall of cities, and jade-white skin, it was Holy Maiden Lin Xue.

When she saw Lin Xun, however, a bitter smile spread from the corners of her mouth, "Brother Lin, there’s been a change in the situation. The emperor's mound is currently surrounded by many powerful experts, so I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to obtain the blessing."

Lin Xun had already anticipated this and nodded, "I only came here to find someone."

Toady couldn't help but ask, "Has an emperor’s mound really been uncovered here?"

He still had a hard time believing it.

Lin Xue nodded. "It should be true. Unfortunately, the blessing in the emperor’s mound has already been taken by someone."

"Taken?"

Lin Xun and the others were surprised.

"Yes. However, that person has been trapped in front of the emperor's mound and is unable to escape."

According to Lin Xue, the seal covering the Ancient Land of All had completely disappeared not long ago. Subsequently, the mysterious emperor's mound emerged and triggered a commotion in the Upper Nine Realms.

Over the past few days, countless experts had rushed here after hearing the news to fight for a chance to enter the emperor’s mound.

For a time, the vicinity of the emperor's mound was plagued by constant bloodshed and scuffles.

After all, everyone knew that the emperor's mound was bound to be accompanied by great opportunities!

However, everyone was soon flabbergasted because no one could approach the emperor's mound no matter what methods they employed!

The most surprising thing, however, was that while everyone was trying to figure out how to enter the emperor's mound, a man walked out from inside!

No one knew when he had entered the emperor's mound, but everyone realized that the heaven-defying blessing of the mound was very likely in his possession.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask, "What does he look like?"

Lin Xue pondered a little and said, "He’s a mountain of a man, gives off a barbaric and savage air, and is a powerful body cultivator at the fifth longevity tribulation stage. It’s honestly pretty amazing that he can remain fearless despite being surrounded by so many experts and even manage to kill a few of them.

"However, he also suffered heavy injuries in the process and will probably be killed soon."

At this juncture, Lin Xue suddenly realized that there was something off about Lin Xun’s and Toady's expressions.

Lin Xun asked, "Where is he?"

His expression was still composed, but there was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Could it be..."

Lin Xue's pupils shrank as if she had guessed something and she immediately said, "Follow me."

She quickly moved to lead the way.

Lin Xun and the others closely followed.

Could it be A’lu?

Both Lin Xun’s and Toady’s hearts tensed a little.

The emperor's mound was surrounded by countless experts. If it was A’lu, how would he be able to face them alone?

Soon after, a terrifying thunderclap suddenly rang out in the distance, causing Lin Xun and the others to inwardly shiver as they felt a frightening heavenly pressure.

Rumble!

Far away, dazzling lightning bolts fell from the sky with almighty destructive force.

It was the sixth longevity tribulation, the karmic obstacles!

Lin Xun had overcome the tribulation recently and naturally recognized it at a glance. He was surprised that someone would choose such a dangerous location to face the tribulation. Wouldn’t they be afraid of being disturbed?

Suddenly, Toady shouted, "Damnit, it's A’lu!"

His golden pupils gleamed as he peered into the distance where a figure was desperately struggling against the heavenly tribulation. It was A’lu!

"This idiot, why would he choose to face the tribulation at such a time? Could he have been pushed to the end of the rope and have no choice but to trigger the tribulation in order to survive?"

Toady's expression fluctuated in worry and uncertainty.

"Go!"

Lin Xun took a deep breath as black eyes turned ice-cold.

"To think that he would turn out to be their friend. This is going to be a big problem..."

Holy Maiden Lin Xue’s heart shuddered. She knew that the man named A’lu was being targeted by many experts, who were waiting to seize the blessing in his possession!

Even if Lin Xun and the others rushed over at this juncture, they would likely be incapable of saving him and instead end up being attacked by everyone. This was no different from rushing to their deaths.

Lin Xue transmitted, "Please calm down. The situation there is extremely complicated and dangerous..."

"I understand. However, there are some things that must be done even when you know they are impossible!"

Lin Xun's reply was firm and uncompromising.

"Miss, you'd better keep your distance from us to avoid being mistaken as our companion. Otherwise, we won’t be able to forgive ourselves."

Toady grinned in a slightly crazed manner.

"You idiots. Why are you in such a hurry to get killed without even figuring out the situation first? Hey hey hey, wait for me!"

The big black bird yelled only to realize that Lin Xun and Toady were ignoring him and instead sprinting forward with all their might. It felt helpless as it muttered, ''They've all gone crazy!"

Despite this, it also charged forward with them.

Lin Xue dazedly watched the trio dash away as if even plunging into a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or even purgatory wouldn’t draw a single frown from them!

The sight inexplicably touched her. Wouldn’t it be lucky to have such friends who stuck together through thick and thin on the path of cultivation?

With a deep breath, Lin Xue also followed.
