Chapter 1124: Chapter 531: The Origin of the Ancient Evil_4

Master Lane couldn’t help but feel disappointed, yet also relieved. Sun Changming, the protégé he had personally groomed, was now closing in on his own level of cultivation - and it was evident that Sun would eventually surpass him.

For a once-in-a-generation talent like Liu Zhi, it was psychologically challenging to accept this reality. It was just human nature, not that Master Lane was begrudging or envious.

If Sun Changming had attained the Six Merits and immediately understood how to reach the Seventh Level, this "surpassing" would come even faster.

However, Lord Sun had lied. The moment he succeeded in achieving the Six Merits, he instantly understood how to advance to the Seventh Level: through his younger brother!

Little Loach needed to undergo a transformation for him to advance to the Seventh Level.

But he couldn’t disclose this opportunity to Master Lane.

Liu Zhi continued, "You don’t need to worry. Your rate of cultivation has already far surpassed everyone else’s in this era, including mine...to a certain extent."

Lord Sun didn’t argue, as he needed to save face for his superior.

"I’m here not only to congratulate you, but also to entrust you with a task."

"Please give your orders, sir." Lord Sun’s attitude was proper, and Liu Zhi was satisfied. The youngster hadn’t become arrogant: "Head to the Ancient Destroyer Origin. Things have been strange there lately. The Horizon Bureau noticed that a mysterious sect seems to be spreading in secret, involving some ancient beings."

"I originally wanted to handle this matter personally, but since you’ve achieved Six Merits, I’ll entrust it to you. I’ll stay in the capital."

"If you find it difficult to handle alone, contact me immediately."

"Yes, I understand."

The business of capturing slaves had entered a steady state. The slave-catching ships of various families, including Lord Sun’s "Death Bonsai," had formed a regular rotation. At least one ship returned to the Wood Dynasty every day, unloading thousands of barbarian slaves and various other gains.

Many treasures could also be found on the Red Clan Barbarian Continent, which could fetch a good price in the Eastern Land.

Each family had plans to expand their business. The second batch of slave-catching ships would reportedly set sail in as little as three months.

Boneset Country was somewhat at a loss, having never experienced such a blockade by others. In the past, they always blockaded other countries. Little did they expect the Eastern Land to visit them and encounter Sun, a madman of their own. According to the Easterners’ moral code, shouldn’t they "civilize barbarians" and repay evil with kindness? Why did they bring people over to fight?

Meanwhile, the "seeds" previously planted by Lord Sun in Boneset Country had thrived, each becoming a leader of different opinion groups. The noble council was divided into several factions, making it difficult to achieve consensus in the short term. As a result, their policy to "fight pirates" kept changing, so Lord Sun estimated that the slave-catching business would experience at least three years of golden age.

For this reason, Sun Changming didn’t have to be stationed on the Substantial Void Heavenly Road indefinitely. He could leave to fulfill Master Lane’s mission.

After Liu Zhi left, the general government sent over the detailed information about this case. The Ancient Destroyer Origin was located in Rex County, northwest of the Wood Dynasty. It was a vast plateau with a harsh environment and few people.

The void above it was highly unstable, known as "one extinction domain every 10 miles, one change every three days." Not only were there many extinction domains, but they often underwent transformations, rendering the experiences of previous generations inapplicable. An extinction domain at the same position might be vastly different after just one night.

Similar to some southwestern regions, the local people lived in backward tribes. Despite their harsh living conditions, these tribes had strong physiques and were excellent soldiers.

Due to these hardships, this region had always been rife with various mysterious sects, and tragedies involving human sacrifices frequently occurred.

On the way to Rex County, Sun Changming planned to train the locals as soldiers to prepare for a future attack on the Nine Witch Demon Court from the northwest.

The name "Ancient Destroyer Origin" came from the local specialty, "Blood Condensation," a semi-solid treasure that grew beneath the roots of large trees. At the current market rate in the Cultivation World of the Wood Dynasty, a coin-sized piece of Blood Condensation could fetch 10,000 Spirit Jades! Therefore, more than 40% of the people living in the Ancient Destroyer Origin relied on excavating Blood Condensation for their livelihoods.

About six months ago, a mysterious sect suddenly appeared in the Ancient Destroyer Origin. According to their regulations, worshipping a strange totem three times a day could drive away illnesses and prolong life.

Subsequently, various legends about believers of this sect recovering from severe illnesses circulated quickly in the Ancient Destroyer Origin, attracting more and more people to join the sect. The Horizon Bureau estimated that there were currently about 60 to 70 thousand believers in this "Nightmare Sect."

It was a sad situation: the harsh conditions in the Ancient Destroyer Origin led to numerous disasters and illnesses among the people. In reality, just a grain-sized amount of Blood Condensation could cure all worldly illnesses. However, they were unwilling to use it because it had to be sold for money. Otherwise, their family might not have a livelihood for the next three years.

This inevitably reminded Lord Sun of Extinct Village.
