Chapter 146: Mei Yixiang

Because Liu Yue had his life root destroyed, Liu Qingxuan flew into a rage, vowing to kill Zhou Heng, and offered a reward—personally promising a hefty bounty to anyone who could provide information on Zhou Heng’s whereabouts.

Similarly, the experts of the Yue Family were also furious that Young Master Qi, a figure of high standing, had been extorted by a junior from a subordinate country at the Initial Separation Realm, and they too announced their intention to bring out their ancestral land’s experts to kill the audacious youth and uphold the dignity of the Yue Family.

However, this didn’t cause a huge stir in the Imperial Capital, because there were two other matters that were even more attention-grabbing.

The first was naturally the Wind Howl Forest. It was said that an unmatched expert from Bright Moon Country had quietly entered and along the way, slaughtered countless Demon Beasts, but was ultimately stopped by a Dead Sea, unable to cross it after much struggle and had to give up reluctantly!

Insiders revealed that this big shot was one of the few top experts in Bright Moon Country, with a Cultivation Level in the Nascent Soul Realm!

Even this big shot couldn’t reach the end, so others had even less right to force their way through! However, since Jing Tian had previously entered a bronze hall and received an inheritance that boosted his Bloodline Power, with this example to inspire them, countless others still surged forward.

Perhaps they could be just as lucky, right?

And since even Nascent Soul Realm experts could only sigh in frustration when looking across the ocean, it meant that the inheritance hidden within the Wind Howl Forest had to be at least of Divine Infant Realm level. If one was astronomically fortunate to obtain the inheritance, they could soar directly up to the ninth heaven, a leap in power!

Luck has nothing to do with strength; who’s to say one wouldn’t be that lucky person?

It is precisely because of such thoughts that the popularity of the Wind Howl Forest surged instead of waning. Unlike the Four Great Death Places of Xuanqian Continent, where entry equated to certain death, here one could potentially gain a peerless inheritance without taking excessive risks, hence everyone was vying to be the first.

Then, there was another piece of news that had just erupted.

Black Water Hall had long dispatched people to the underground world discovered by Zhou Heng and Lin Fuxiang, but they simply couldn’t penetrate deeply. After reporting to Heavenly Star Sect, the experts they sent were also hindered by demonic energy. A Land Cleaving Realm expert who overconfidently pressed forward turned immediately into a Red-haired Monster and went on a killing spree.

It just so happened that the experts of Wind Howl Sect hadn’t left yet, so Heavenly Star Sect also reported the incident to them, and the result was incredibly astonishing—even an expert at Spirit Sea Realm could not enter!

It was truly unexpected that the small Cold Blue Country would have two such secret realms appear, and clearly, the underground world accessed through the Dark River beneath Fengyu City was even more terrifying, possibly becoming one of the new Death Places, on par with the other Four Great Death Places.

It probably wouldn’t be long before Xuanqian Continent would recognise Five Great Death Places.

It was precisely because of the emergence of these two secret lands that a convergence of wind and clouds arose for a time, and with more people, inadvertent leaks of information also increased.

In the ancient times, the Martial Path of Xuanqian Continent flourished. Even Divinity Transformation Realm experts were plentiful; it was said that once the divine infant in the Dantian World grew strong enough, one could break open the void, transformation from the mortal to Immortal, and truly escape life and death to achieve undying!

Above the nine heavens, lies the realm of Immortals!

Eternal life and deathlessness, the dream of every person, also motivated generations of martial arts geniuses to strive relentlessly in hopes of becoming Immortal. As for whether anyone succeeded, it has become an unknown, lost in the lengthy annals of history.

But unknown from when, the Martial Path suddenly declined from its golden days, became extremely withered. It’s said that today, there are no Divinity Transformation Realm beings left, and even the unmatched experts of the Divine Infant Realm are few and far between, with only a few in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, and it’s unknown how many remain.

The Four Great Death Places are rumored to be the inheritance sites left by Divinity Transformation Realm experts before they passed away. However, with no Divinity Transformation Realm beings in the world, no one could forcibly enter, and suitable successors haven’t appeared, so these places have been passed down until now.

Zhou Heng, listening to these rumors, was filled with longing.

One day, he would stand proudly at the pinnacle of the world, slash through the void with a single stroke, and become an undying Immortal!

During those seven days, he had been delving into his techniques at the inn, still far from reaching the Domain Realm; he needed to thoroughly study the myriad martial arts techniques in order to elevate him to the level of Domain. Although he didn’t know how much farther he had to go, precisely because of this, he couldn’t afford to waste a single second.

He wasn’t worried about the Liu Family or Yue Family failing to find him and instead causing trouble for An Luochen and Lin Jianchen, as these two families should be clearer than him about what the East Spirit Immortal Pond signified and should also know the heights Lin Fuxiang and An Yumei could reach in the future; how would they dare to provoke them?

On the day of the auction, he confidently arrived at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with his true appearance.

Zhou Heng stepped into the hall and headed to a private room on the second floor.

"Are you Zhou Heng?" In the corridor, he passed by a dashing young master, who was followed by four attendants, one old and three robust. That elder made Zhou Heng pause for a moment; the obscure aura emanating gave him a chilling sensation in his hands and feet.

Absolutely beyond the Heaven-Opening Realm!

If such an expert were to strike suddenly, with such proximity, Zhou Heng might not even have time to react!

The dashing young master stopped, smiling slightly at Zhou Heng, with a face smoother and whiter than a woman’s, starring eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle beauty that could drive most women insane.

He was obviously the highest in status among the five, even though he only had the cultivation level of Initial Separation Realm, the profoundly unfathomable old man stood behind him with his hands hanging down.

When had he become so famous?

Zhou Heng returned the smile and asked, "I am indeed Zhou Heng, how should I address this gentleman?"

"I am Mei Yixiang, from the Bright Moon Country. Recently, I have been hearing much about Brother Zhou, and today I finally get to meet the man himself!" said the dashing young master with a hearty laugh.

Mei Yixiang, why does this name sound so effeminate?

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but give the dashing young master another look, noting the fine skin, the luster like polished jade, and a slight bulge in the chest area uncharacteristic of developed pectoral muscles, given his slender figure.

This was a beautiful woman in disguise!

"So, it’s Miss Mei!" Zhou Heng shook his head, displaying a wry smile. Obviously, the other person’s whole being exuded the scent of rouge and powder, that light body fragrance was so intoxicating; how could she possibly be a big man? It was embarrassing that he only realized something was amiss after hearing the name.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, you’re so formal. Aren’t men and women both just people?" Mei Yixiang laughed loudly, making an inviting gesture, "How about you come and sit in my private room?".

Since she was so polite, Zhou Heng felt embarrassed to decline and accepted with a smile.

The six entered a private room, and upon hearing their entry, a girl around fifteen or sixteen jumped up, her face grimacing, "Miss—"

"It’s ’My lord’!" Mei Yixiang snapped open a folding fan and shook it, posing with a suave manner.

"Yes, My lord!" the girl quickly nodded over and over again, then her face soured again, "Little Gold has vanished!"
