Chapter 194: News of Luo Caisi
The middle-aged man quickly reacted and anxiously shouted, “Hurry and flee, people from Zhenghu are coming!”
Before the man could finish his words, a voice came from the distance, “Jiao Yu, if I, Shen Yutao, let you escape today, I will end my own life here.”
Two men dressed in gray martial outfits approached.
Lan Xiaobu’s gaze fell on them, and he immediately sensed that both had reached the late stage of Meridian Opening.
It was clear that the eruption of spiritual energy on Earth had turned it into a paradise for martial artists.
“What is Zhenghu?” As Lan Xiaobu asked, his eyes caught sight of a golden five-line staff emblem on their sleeves.
Before Jiao Yu could respond, the boy beside him spoke with hatred, “These beasts are raised by the Great Universe AI and Thousand Sounds. I heard they are all from the Seven Sounds Sect...”
Realizing what was happening, Lan Xiaobu promptly jumped down from Ancient Path and said, “Ancient Path, go eat one, then capture the other.”
Ancient Path lazily strolled over, and when the two Zhenghu men saw him, they exclaimed in surprise, “Is this a magical beast?”
Then, they exchanged glances and charged at the Ancient Path, one on the left and one on the right.
They had seen many magical beasts before, but they had never encountered one that could be tamed.
The sage said that tamed beasts usually had high intelligence.
If they could capture it, they would have a magical beast pet.
Without even moving, Ancient Path unleashed several blade-like attacks, and the two men fell from the air.
One had half of his head sliced off, while the other lost a leg.
Ancient Path dragged the legless man back to Lan Xiaobu, feeling rather displeased.
What did the boss mean? Did he want me to eat such tasteless trash? I, Ancient Path, had a reputation even in the Yuan Continent.
The boss really looked down on a beast...
No, I’m not a dog.
Both Jiao Yu and the boy were stunned. “What kind of beast pet is this? So powerful?” These two men from Zhenghu had notorious reputations, yet before Ancient Path, they couldn’t even fight back.
“What is your name?” Lan Xiaobu asked the man at his feet.
“Senior, I’m Shen Yutao, the twelfth disciple of Master Zheng from the Seven Sounds Sect.” The man replied in fear; he had never seen a magical beast as powerful as Ancient Path.
“Zheng?” Lan Xiaobu suddenly asked, “Is there someone named Gong and his disciple Shang? Are they dead?”
Shen Yutao's heart sank at the mention of his master and uncle, realizing that the other party held a grudge against the Seven Sounds Sect. “N-No...”
“They are currently where?” Lan Xiaobu determined that before leaving Earth, he had to deal with Gong and Shang.
Or better yet, wipe out the Seven Sounds Sect entirely.
“At Seven Sounds Mountain…”
As soon as Shen Yutao mentioned Seven Sounds Mountain, Lan Xiaobu told Ancient Path, “Kill him.”
This time, Ancient Path didn’t even bother to bite.
He simply raised his paw and swiftly severed Shen’s throat.
Jiao Yu and the boy stared blankly at Ancient Path until Lan Xiaobu patted Jiao Yu's shoulder.
He promptly dropped the man from his back and respectfully said, “Senior…”
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand. “I’ve been secluded in the deep mountains for over ten years. What changes have happened outside? Also, why is this village completely deserted?”
Despite the gaps in Lan Xiaobu's statements, Jiao Yu still respectfully replied, “More than ten years ago, Kunlun Mountain suddenly exploded, and countless spirit stone fragments erupted from it…”
“You know about spirit stone fragments?” Lan Xiaobu thought to himself.
He only learned about spirit stones after coming into contact with Hou Yi.
He had always thought they were boundary stones.
Jiao Yu's tone grew more fearful. “The name spirit stones was said to have come from the Seven Sounds Sect's master Gong.”
Lan Xiaobu recalled the scene of Kunlun leaving the mountain when Gong and a few others had come looking for them, only to be held back outside.
Could it be that the explosion at Kunlun Mountain was related to Gong after he left Earth? It seemed urgent to find Gong and clarify these matters.
The spiritual energy on Earth was now far more abundant than when he had left.
Even without cultivating in his past life, Lan Xiaobu could roughly judge that the current spiritual energy far exceeded that of before.
“Continue.” Lan Xiaobu nodded to Jiao Yu.
Jiao Yu relaxed a bit. “After that, many wild beasts began to mutate. Not only did the beasts mutate, but many unusual events also appeared in the world. Many people discovered that some extraordinary spirit fruits could grant longevity. Some people who lived over a hundred years became even younger and stronger after consumption…”
Lan Xiaobu wasn’t surprised by this.
The sudden surge of spiritual energy causing the appearance of spirit fruits made perfect sense.
For people accustomed to ordinary environments, these randomly appearing spirit fruits would naturally enhance their immune capabilities. “Before long, the world fell into chaos. Many beasts mutated into stronger savage beasts, and even into magical beasts. These beasts stormed into human cities, devouring residents and slaughtering indiscriminately…”
At this point, the man pointed to the deserted village next to them. “All the people here were devoured by savage beasts.”
“No army?” Lan Xiaobu asked, puzzled.
The man sighed. “If there were no army, humanity on Earth would probably be extinct by now. Armies from various countries have begun to hunt the savage beasts, and at first, it was effective—even driving the beasts into the mountains. But later on, the beasts grew stronger, and even magical beasts appeared. These magical beasts were so powerful that bullets could hardly touch them, and some weren’t significantly harmed even by bullets.”
Lan Xiaobu sighed; it was normal for some magical beasts to possess tremendous defensive capabilities and even have innate body refinement abilities.
“And the magical beasts dispersed, showing considerable intelligence. The country couldn’t use large-scale weapons against them. Even if they tried, they couldn’t eradicate the magical beasts and ended up leaving our homes in ruins. Fortunately, at that time, people from various sects rose to help. They had their own strong members, some even reaching the Innate Realm. I heard there were even those who condensed Golden Pills…”
“Condensed Golden Pills?” Lan Xiaobu echoed in surprise.
“Yes,” Jiao Yu continued. “Those who condense Golden Pills are incredibly powerful, able to contend with even top-tier magical beasts. Not only in Huaxia, but other countries also formed troops with martial artists. Our Huaxia army is called Tianzhoubu, and to join, one must be at least in the Bone Tempering Stage.”
Lan Xiaobu wondered how Earth could condense Golden Pills.
Wasn’t the spiritual energy insufficient? The energy was abundant, but condensing pills required more than just spiritual energy; proper cultivation methods were necessary as well.
“After the explosion at Kunlun Mountain, were there any unusual occurrences or items?” Lan Xiaobu suspected whether the explosion revealed some hidden realms on Earth.
In the past, he would have thought this was nonsense, but now he didn’t think so.
Earth was separated from the Great Desolate Universe and was once the center of that universe.
It was rather normal for such a place to harbor hidden realms or caves.
Jiao Yu shook his head. “I haven’t heard of anything like that, or perhaps I just don’t know. The things I know are just what everyone else knows.”
His meaning was clear; his low status limited his knowledge.
“Do you know of any Golden Pill experts? Or those stronger than the Golden Pill?” Lan Xiaobu asked.
Jiao Yu immediately answered, “Master Gong from the Seven Sounds Sect and his disciple Jiao are both Golden Pill experts. I heard that Gong’s younger disciple, Yu, has surpassed the Golden Pill realm. Additionally, Ju Lie, the leader of Tianzhoubu, and Lu Shoupeng, a secular disciple of Wudang, are also Golden Pill experts. Oh, and there’s a woman named Luo Caisi, who is said to be at the Golden Pill level.”
“Luo Caisi?” A beautiful, serene girl with the elegance of a chrysanthemum flashed in Lan Xiaobu's mind.
Had it not been for her saving him back then, he might have turned to bones by now.
He glanced at Ancient Path beside him.
This was a gift from Luo Caisi.
Unexpectedly, she had entered the Golden Pill realm on Earth.
That talent was truly astonishing.
He just didn’t know how she had obtained the cultivation method.
The Muscle-Tendon Altering Sutra he gave her would only allow her to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage at most.
After mentioning Luo Caisi, a hint of reminiscence appeared in Lan Xiaobu's eyes.
Jiao Yu dared not speak further.
He had gained some understanding; this powerful individual in front of him had likely closed himself off for over a decade; otherwise, he wouldn’t be unaware of these matters.
Moreover, Lan Xiaobu definitely knew Luo Caisi, and their relationship seemed quite good.
Luo Caisi was renowned as the most beautiful woman; had she not been immensely powerful, she might have been taken away long ago.
“Where is Luo Caisi now?” Lan Xiaobu continued to ask.
Jiao Yu respectfully replied, “She went missing five years ago. At that time, a group of sea crocodile demons attacked a village. Tianzhoubu dispatched many strong members to deal with the sea crocodile demons, and I heard that Luo Caisi also went. After that battle, there was no news of her.”
“Where?” Lan Xiaobu suddenly became worried.
“North Sea, near the Wuyuling Sea.” Jiao Yu answered.
Lan Xiaobu fell silent.
Five years had passed; even if he headed there now, it would be too late.
He could only hope that Luo Caisi was safe and that nothing happened to her.
Jiao Yu's words helped Lan Xiaobu piece together a rough timeline of events.
The eruption of spiritual energy on Earth likely had two major steps.
The first was Kunlun falling at Kunlun Mountain, triggering the binding spirit formation on Earth.
The second was Gong, unable to find him and Kunlun, unexpectedly discovering the spiritual vein source of the binding spirit formation.
Gong likely had no way to open the binding spirit formation and perhaps forced his way through using explosives.
This led to the formation breaking out, scattering numerous spirit stones.
Gong and his disciples were not killed in the explosion but instead struck gold, obtaining a wealth of treasures, allowing him to advance to the Golden Pill realm, while his disciple Yu exceeded the Golden Pill.
The explosion on Earth caused a surge of magical beasts.
When hot weapons could no longer handle the beasts, the status of martial artists naturally rose.
(The fourth update is here.
I request support with monthly tickets.
Last month we updated over 310,000 words; this month I hope not to fall too far behind.
I need to motivate myself! That’s all for today; good night, friends!)
