Chapter 889: Exploration Team
Translator: jinzeffect
The great desolate world might be a place of opportunities, but the death rate was exceptionally high.
Plenty of human saints and beast overlords had fallen.
Even the Jade Star Saint Lord was injured.
Three beast sovereigns were dead and it made everyone very surprised.
But when they found the three beast sovereigns were killed by Li Fuchen, it was imaginable how shocked they were.
“Sword Saint Lord, did you kill the Blue Crocodile Beast Sovereign and the Black Rock Beast Sovereign?” The Jade Star Saint Lord was in disbelief.
Even he was unable to kill the two of them, but Li Fuchen did it. Didn’t it mean that Li Fuchen was now superior to him?
But when they just arrived at the East Unicorn Continent, Li Fuchen was still significantly inferior, therefore, the Jade Star Saint Lord couldn’t understand.
Hearing the question, Li Fuchen nodded.
Seeing that Li Fuchen had admitted, the Jade Star Saint Lord’s eyes turned solemn and said with respect, “I, the Jade Star Saint Lord, am rarely impressed by anyone, Sword Saint Lord, you are one of them.”
It didn’t matter what fateful opportunity Li Fuchen encountered. To be able to improve in such a short period of time was enough to prove Li Fuchen’s potential.
The demonic beasts had lost three beast sovereigns and plenty of beast overlords, it made their overall strength weaker than the humans. They quickly left as they were afraid the humans might conduct a ma.s.sacre.
As Zhu Sanqiu had betrayed the Jade Star Saint Lord, he had also left with the demonic beasts.
In a solo fight, Zhu Sanqiu wasn’t afraid of anyone, but he didn’t have the courage to fight against many.
None of the humans made any move either.
This was the East Unicorn Continent, if a war was started, the consequences would be immense. Furthermore, they had yet to reach the stage where they would fall out with the demonic beasts yet.
“These demonic beasts are too reckless, it is time to beat them down.” The Jasper Flower Saint Lordess frowned.
The demons might return anytime. It was fine if the demonic beasts didn’t help, but the Jasper Flower Saint Lordess was unhappy because they were doing the opposite instead of helping.
“Find an opportunity to make things permanent.” The Jade Star Saint Lord nodded.
The demonic beasts were only left with the Sky Patrol Beast Sovereign who was a peak-tier beast sovereign. As for the humans, the Jade Star Saint Lord, Jasper Flower Saint Lordess, and Li Fuchen were all peak level saint lords. If there was a war, the demonic beasts would definitely be defeated.
It was a pity that Zhu Sanqiu was overly treacherous, otherwise, it would be too easy to deal with the demonic beasts with Zhu Sanqiu’s help.
…
Since the East Unicorn Continent upgraded to a high-cla.s.s continent, it felt as though the East Unicorn Continent had become the core of the Deep Blue Plane. Not only saints and beast overlords frequented this place, even some Law Phase Realm emperors visited the place too. In fact, most of the factions started to set up branches in the East Unicorn Continent and constantly transferred people here.
In the face of the major factions, nearly 100 sects of the East Unicorn Continent had no choice but to be annexed by the new factions, otherwise, they would only rapidly decline and vanish. After all, those major factions had Law Phase Realm emperors and Soul Merge Realm saints. But their sects only had Battle Spirit Realm masters, how could they even contest?
…
Currently, 16 s.p.a.ce-time pa.s.sages that connected to other star domains were discovered on the East Unicorn Continent. Li Fuchen went to the Arris Light Star Domain previously, this time, he chose the Ancient Stone Star Domain.
The Ancient Stone Star Domain was a remnant star domain. This star domain had been abandoned since ancient times. There were basically no more living planes and the only people residing in the Ancient Stone Star Domain were normally formidable explorers.
As a remnant star domain, due to the scarce number of life, the entire Ancient Stone Star Domain only had one universe city called, Time Sand City.
Time Sand City Lord, Time Sand Heaven Lord was an ancient and terrifying heaven lord. It was rumored that he could control time and revive the dead. Even among the heaven lords, he would be on the pinnacle.
From the outer appearance of the Time Sand City, it was truly amazing.
The city was constructed entirely out of sand. Most importantly, the sand was constantly moving. But since ancient times, the Time Sand City has never shrunk at all.
Inside the Time Sand City, the flow of traffic was a few hundred times or even a thousand times lesser than the Thousands Spirit City. On some streets, there were only a few other-race members walking along. There weren’t a lot of shops by the sides and some were even empty.
At a restaurant that was situated at a rather busy crossroad, Li Fuchen sat by the side of the window and looked at the street scenery outside.
“The Time Sand City is indeed incredible. When staying here, I cannot feel the flow of time.”
Time dao was extremely hard to comprehend. Even for Li Fuchen, if he didn’t have any guidance, it was near impossible to comprehend the time dao out of nothing.
Li Fuchen reckoned that the Time Sand Heaven Lord’s dao should be the time dao, or the primal chaos sand dao. He was proficient in this dao and could gain simple control over time. Perhaps being able to revive someone might not be so unbelievable.
Thud Thud Thud…
Footsteps could be heard. A tall lady covered in bandages up to face was walking over.
“Mm?” When seeing Li Fuchen, the bandaged lady’s eyes lit up.
The Time Sand City had plenty of saint lords, but there were only a few that would feel dangerous to her.
“My name is Gulisha, I wonder if this sir is interested in exploring the Ancient Stone Garden?”
The Ancient Stone Garden was one of the most famous ruins in the Ancient Stone Star Domain, it was also one of the most dangerous ruins. With the strength of a saint lord, entering the Ancient Stone Garden would be the same as to court death. Gulisha was one of the important members of an exploration team. Her responsibility was to recruit formidable saint lords for the team.
“Ancient Stone Garden uh?”
Li Fuchen had been in the Time Sand City for several days and knew some rough information of the Ancient Stone Garden.
It was said that the Ancient Stone Garden was a product of the Ancient Stone Star Domain during its prime era. There were some flowers within that were long extinct in the universe. The entire Ancient Stone Garden was like a small star system, but it was enveloped in an array, making it look like a garden.
“How many members do you have? Strength level?”
Li Fuchen didn’t plan on wasting any time at the Ancient Stone Star Domain. Entering the Ancient Stone Garden to explore might be a good choice.
Gulisha replied, “We have a total of 18 members and all of us are saint lord-cla.s.s.”
“Bring me to see them.”
LI Fuchen wanted to decide after seeing the members. If the members weren’t reliable enough, then he would rather explore the Ancient Stone Garden alone.
“Alright, follow me.”
After getting out of the restaurant, Gulisha led Li Fuchen towards a secluded street.
In a restaurant around the corner of the street, there was a group of saint lord-cla.s.s individuals gathered inside.
From the qi presences, there were demons, werewolves, misty race members, and even two humans.
“Haha, yet another human.”
Seeing Li Fuchen, the two human saint lords were very happy. The humans might not be united, but at crucial moments, they still understood the logic to fend for their own people.
“How is it?” Gulisha looked at Li Fuchen.
“Sure, I’ll join.”
Li Fuchen could immediately see that this team had mobilized plenty of times as their qi presences were rather coordinated among each other.
If it was a temporarily formed team, the qi presences wouldn’t be harmonious and such a team would easily have internal conflicts.
Li Fuchen required an experienced team and not a makeshift team.
