"Several Saints of our Wanshou Heaven noticed strange spatial undulations, and after investigations, we found that the Sacred Race has located the Dragon Spirit Utopia’s location.” When Jin Yanghuang spoke it was as though he threw a bomb down at everyone and left everyone aghast.
Boom!
Then, the entire conference pavilion broke into an uproar.
The Dragon Spirit Utopia was a treasure location unique to the Wanshou Heaven. The domain was attached to the Wanshou Heaven and the Saints of Wanshou Heaven had set up several boundaries to protect it.
But the Sacred Race suddenly locked onto the Dragon Spirit Utopia’s location, what was their intention?!
“Clan leader, the Dragon Spirit Utopia has the mark of our Wanshou Heaven so no foreign races other than Genesis beast clans can enter if entered from other heavens,” said great elder Jin Jie in a deep voice.
Jin Yanghuang nodded. ”That's correct, so the Sacred Race did not dispatch Sacred Race members to enter the Dragon Spirit Utopia…but the evil beast clan.”
The hall filled with clamor suddenly fell silent, but Zhou Yuan noticed many people's eyes had turned a little red and an intense murderous intent was surging within the hall.
Moreover, it wasn’t just them. Even Tuntun, who was lying on Zhou Yuan’s head, was digging into his scalp with his claws.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan asked puzzledly. He couldn’t understand why they would react in such a way to the so-called evil beast clan.
After Tuntun was silent for a good while, a wisp of thought penetrated into Zhou Yuan’s mind.
Zhou Yuan’s brows soon were scrunched together in a frown.
It was said that when the Sacred Race started the world-ending war and wanted to wipe out all other races in the ancient times, the Genesis beast race fought back with all their strength and that was considered the Genesis beast race’s most pinnacle moment in history. They brought a lot of pressure to the Sacred Race that invaded.
But traitors appeared within the Genesis beasts at the most critical moment.
Some Genesis beasts betrayed their race and turned to the Sacred Race.
That weakened the Genesis beast race’s strength.
Moreover, the Genesis beasts that joined the Sacred Race also brought the corpses of many ancestors of various beast clans. In the end, the Sacred God of the Sacred Race used the flesh and blood of many Genesis beasts as well as the remains of Genesis beast ancestors to cleanse the Genesis beasts that joined them.
As a result, a new clan was born.
It was the so-called evil beast clan that Jin Yanghuang was speaking about.
The new clan, built on the flesh, blood, and corpses of the Genesis beast race, possessed a unique characteristic—They had intense hunger for Genesis beasts and when the two meet, there was no doubt that one would die.
The clan was a product that the Sacred Race specially created to target the Genesis beast race.
The two sides had clashed several times over the years and the feud between them was too deep and complicated to describe.
It was only when the Sacred Race withdrew back to their five heavens after the world-ending war that the killings gradually became less frequent. However, the deep hatred the Genesis beast race felt towards them was recorded in the ancient records.
It was the hatred towards the traitors for betraying them and for tarnishing their ancestors’ corpses.
Zhou Yuan was silent for a good while. It was no wonder that there was such an uproar.
But there was something he was more concerned about…
He realized there were more and more movements from the Sacred Race these years.
Zhou Yuan turned his head slightly, looking at Yaoyao’s beautiful side profile. He somehow felt a little uneasy about the changes, as if a storm was gradually brewing.
And when the storm erupts, when it rages, it likely would overturn all-heavens.
Chapter 1236 Jin Qingtian
The surging killing intent within the conference pavilion remained for a good while before great elder Jin Jie asked, “Clan leader, what is the Sacred Race’s plan? Could they be racking their brains because they have their eyes on the opportunities in the Dragon Spirit Utopia?”
The great elder had sharp eyes and directly identified the Sacred Race’s motives.
The opportunities in the Dragon Spirit Utopia weren't small, and there were even Law Domain seeds, which could help cultivate powerful Law Domain experts.
But in truth, although Law Domain experts were considered top forces to the Sacred Race, it would be naive to think Law Domain experts could change anything.
Jin Yanghuang was silent for a moment before he answered, “The Saints of our Wanshou Heaven is investigating what the Sacred Race is planning but there hasn’t been any results yet. Perhaps the Sacred Race is just using the Dragon Spirit Utopia as a training session.”
Many people’s eyelids twitched.
Training?
The Sacred Race that had been quiet for years was finally beginning to act?
Jin Yanghuang said, “It doesn’t matter. The Wanshou Heaven must guard the Dragon Spirit Utopia regardless of what the Sacred Race’s motive is. All-races also sent an order…the evil beast clan that enters Dragon Spirit Utopia must be wiped out!”
Intense killing intent permeated the air as he finished speaking, as if turning into a sea of blood and corpses, and made it difficult for everyone to breathe.
"Because of this matter, the requirements for entry into the Wanshou Region will be relaxed and there will be a higher number of places. At the same time, the various races will send out more elite forces to provide support.”
A lot of whispering broke out and many people wore surprised expressions. After all, according to the past rules, they required an object contaminated with the essence and blood of an Alpha Holy Beast. Although such objects existed in all-races, they were very rare. Therefore, there was a limited number of places each time. But since the requirements were relaxed, many people had a higher chance of participating.
“More elite forces..."
Zhou Yuan was focussed on the last sentence that Jin Yanghuang said.
The Dragon Spirit Utopia had a restriction on power and only those below the Law Domain stage could enter. Those already selected to enter were at the pinnacle of the Nascent Source stage, such as Jin Lan. Were there people stronger than Jin Lan below the Law Domain stage?
Of course there were…
A bright light flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes because there was a strange level between the Law Domain and the Nascent Source stage, and that level was called the pseudo Law Domain stage.
Peak master Liu Lianyi and peak master Ling Jun from the Cangxuan Sect were also at that level back then.
And among all-heavens, whoever had stepped into that level and possessed a pseudo Law Domain would gradually move away from the Nascent Source stage. Therefore, Nascent Source stage experts with pseudo Law Domain were also called Little Law Domain.
They weren’t considered at the Nascent Source stage, just as they wouldn’t be ranked on the Hunyuan Heaven’s Nascent Source List.
While thoughts streamed across Zhou Yuan's mind, Jin Yanghuang flicked his fingers and the space in the hall tore apart. Then, a middle-aged man stepped out from the torn space.
The middle-aged man’s face was devoid of expression. He was burly and his golden hair glistened under the light like a lion. His imposing bearing was so terrifying that many felt their hearts suppressed.
Many people from the Golden Monkey Clan exclaimed with his appearance.
"Elder Jin Qingtian?”
"Isn't he in closed-door cultivation all year round? He was also summoned out?”
“......”
Zhou Yuan similarly stared intently at the middle-aged man, who stood silently while emitting an oppressive pressure. The pressure made even him tense up uncontrollably.
Moreover, he perceived dangerous yet familiar waves of energy fro
m his body.
If Zhou Yuan’s speculation was correct, the man should be at the pseudo Law Domain stage.
In truth, pseudo-Law Domain experts might not necessarily be much stronger than perfect Nascent Source experts because the gap between them wasn’t huge based purely on Genesis Qi. The only thing was that a pseudo Law Domain could dramatically increase one’s combat strength.
A Law Domain seed had a relatively small effect on pseudo Law Domain experts, and perhaps this was why experts at that level rarely entered the Dragon Spirit Utopia in the past.
"Elder Jin Qingtian will also enter the Dragon Spirit Utopia and will be in a team with Jin Lan.”
Many gazes shifted enviously to Jin Lan. The two will work together in the Dragon Spirit Utopia. Jin Lan was already a well-known figure at the perfect Nascent Source stage, and with Jin Qingtian's assistance, they would be even more powerful.
Everyone thought Jin Lan would have a lot of problems after losing Little Ancestor as a partner but unexpectedly, his clan had arranged a pseudo-Law Domaine expert to team up with him.
But in a sense, their team was stronger than Little Ancestor and Zhou Yuan.
After all, although Little Ancestor was an Alpha Holy Beast, he still hadn’t fully awakened yet and still only possessed Nascent Source stage strength and his chance of winning against pseudo Law Domain experts was unpredictable.
Under these gazes, Jin Ya, who was sitting beside Jin Lan, lit up with joy.
Jin Lan also showed a slight look of joy before he stood up and bowed to Jin Qingtian. After all, Jin Qingtian was higher up than him in terms of seniority. Moreover, Jin Qingtian’s arrival indeed helped him a lot.
"I heard you lost to an outsider,” said Jin Qingtian as he glanced at Jin Lan.
Jin Lan flushed with embarrassment but eventually nodded.
Jin Qingtian was considered his elder so he had to accept his teaching.
However, Jin Qingtian didn’t say much and just sat down while looking forward. “It’s just one time. Don’t worry. Now that I’m here I won’t let those cunning people take advantage of us. I will help you get revenge when there’s a chance.”
Jin Lan smiled bitterly, “Clan uncle, I actually stepped into the pit myself.”
Jin Qingtian waved his hand dismissively and closed his eyes to rest.
Jin Lan could only shake his head helplessly.
"That guy seems to dislike me." Although far away, Zhou Yuan still keenly sensed that Jin Qintian wasn’t friendly towards him.
However, his emotions didn’t change because of that. A pseudo Law Domain expert might sound intimidating but it was still the Nascent Source stage. Moreover, no Law Domains were the same!
His Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune could also form a Law Domain. My one is not considered a true Law Domain expert, but yours is? It’s just a fake vs. a fake! We will only know what happens in a battle!
Of course, he couldn't deny that the various clans in Wanshou Heaven attached much more importance to the Dragon Spirit Utopia because of the Sacred Race’s intervention, which they did not know the reason for. However, the pseudo Law Domain experts’ participation would undoubtedly make the competition in Dragon Spirit Utopia the most intense ever.
"I feel like there are troubles wherever I go..." Zhou Yuan sighed.
Dragon Spirit Utopia turned out to be such a bad idea.
While Zhou Yuan was sighing, Jin Yanghuang had already arranged the various matters. After nodding to Yaoyao, he ended the meeting.
The people from the Golden Monkey Clan left one after another, but whispers continued to circulate. It was clear that the matters regarding the evil beast clan had a huge impact on many people.
This offered a glimpse into the state of shock the various clans in Wanshou Heaven were in.
...
In the next few days, Zhou Yuan distinctly noticed the atmosphere within the Golden Monkey Clan became much tenser, and almost all the conversation topics were related to the evil beast clan.
As he expected, the news of the evil beast clan spread throughout the Wanshou Heaven, and the shock it brought could be described as a landslide or tsunami.
Zhou Yuan still underestimated the bone-deep contempt and hatred the Genesis beast race had towards the evil beast clan.
When the evil beast clan was born from the flesh, blood and bones of the various Genesis beast clans was perhaps when the two races stood on absolute opposing sides…
Time quietly passed by under the atmosphere that resembled a storm brewing.
The Dragon Spirit Utopia was about to open.
Chapter 1237 Into the Utopia
A huge spatial vortex emerged above the Golden Monkey Clan’s ancestral land. The inside of the vortex, dark and unpredictable, made many tremble with fear.
The vortex led to the Dragon Spirit Utopia.
The atmosphere in the mountains below was buzzing unusually and countless members of the Golden Monkey Clan were staring at the spatial vortex with envy and desire.
Only the elites of each clan could enter the Dragon Spirit Utopia. They hoped they could represent their clan and win glory and obtain amazing opportunities.
With Tuntun on his head, Zhou Yuan stood beside Yaoyao on a mountain summit.
“You need to be careful in the Dragon Spirit Utopia, the Sacred Race mustn’t be underestimated.” The mountain wind lifted Yaoyao’s silk-like hair and her slender and graceful figure was so perfect that it seemed created by heaven.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help staring admiringly at her. Yaoyao's figure seemed to be getting better and better.
But when he saw the corners of Yaoyao's lips slightly curving in a strange arc, he immediately looked straight ahead and said, "I understand.”
Tuntun yawned on Zhou Yuan's head and then mockingly laughed out loud.
Yaoyao cast her cold and clear eyes at him. “Listen to Zhou Yuan in the Dragon Spirit Utopia. He is more cautious and reliable than you.”
Tuntun, who was smiling smugly, lowered his head dispiritedly and didn’t even have the strength to respond. He originally planned to take the position of boss when they get into the Dragon Spirit Utopia and order Zhou Yuan about, but Yaoyao destroyed his thought with one sentence.
After all, Tuntun, who was always fearless, would never disobey Yaoyao’s order, which to him was like it was an imperial decree.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help smiling triumphantly, “Little boy, you wanted to order me around?”
Then, he turned to the remarkably beautiful girl beside him and took her little hand, sighing, "I thought I could travel with you, but we have to be apart again for a while.”
Yaoyao said reassuringly, ”The Dragon Spirit Utopia is a good opportunity for you guys. You can't give up such a good chance. I will wait here for your return.”
Zhou Yuan nodded and opened his arms for a hug. “Let’s say goodbye.”
As Yaoyao gazed at Zhou Yuan with her clear and bright eyes, Zhou Yuan’s face was reflected in them. She slightly curved the corners of her lips upwards and stepped forward to let Zhou Yuan hug her.
Soft, warm and sweet-smelling.
That softness almost made Zhou Yuan unwilling to let go and head into the Dragon Spirit Utopia.
The scene attracted the attention of many people in the surroundings. After all, the girl in Zhou Yuan’s arms was too remarkable and even Jin Ling’er and Jin Ya, who were known for their beauty, paled in comparison to her.
But what they noticed was that Yaoyao wasn’t only beautiful, but elegant and radiated an extraordinary aura. Moreover, she possessed a mysterious identity.
Jin Yanghuang stood with hands clasped behind him on a mountain summit, watching the embrace with a strange expression. He was vaguely aware of the affairs between Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, which also had stirred up a lot of waves in the Omega Shrine.
No one thought that she would fall for a mortal.
“I don't know whether it's good or bad,” he murmured. Then, he ran his eyes across and
his majestic voice resounded. “It’s almost time, get ready to leave.”
After a pause, his eyes grew fierce and sharp. “I want to say one more thing. The Dragon Spirit Utopia is no longer a place of training. I suggest you treat it as a battlefield. Your ultimate goal is to kill the evil beast clan that entered the Dragon Spirit Utopia!
“My Wanshou Heaven can’t be contaminated by that clan!”
Monstrous killing intent directly caused the wind to rise, clouds scud across and the temperature to drop.
All Golden Monkey Clan members responded fiercely with murderous aura circulating around them.
That monstrous murderous intent pulled Zhou Yuan out from the soft and warm embrace. The evil beast clan deserves to die, they turned such a good training experience into a battlefield of life and death.
Zhou Yuan could foresee the slaughterings even before entering the Dragon Spirit Utopia.
As Jin Yanghuang's voice faded, streams of light shot into the sky from the mountains and formed a team before diving into the spatial vortex.
They each held a strange object that emitted an ancient and wild aura in their hands, which should be the essence and blood of a Sacred beast.
“Let’s go.”
Zhou Yuan nodded to Yaoyao before he soared into the sky.
As he neared the spatial vortex, a little purple-gold scale suddenly detached from Tuntun who was on Zhou Yuan’s head. The scale that was stained with a dash of blood and essence darted into the vortex.
Then, the vortex parted and Zhou Yuan took advantage of the chance to dive in.
Yaoyao didn’t move from her spot as she watched the two disappear.
At a certain moment, Jin Yanghuang appeared next to her. He gave a cupped fist salute to Yaoyao and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, there is a message from the Omega Shrine. If you have time you can pay the Omega Shrine a visit.”
Yaoyao retracted her gaze from the vortex, but there wasn’t a hint of emotion on her stunning face.
“If I have time, I will consider it.” Her tone was indifferent.
Jin Yanghuang didn't seem angry and just nodded with a smile. “Your Excellency should do what you feel like.”
