Chapter 513: Chapter 513 Desolate Land

"Xiao Wu, come with me."

Ling Chen turned to look at the young man in a green robe next to him.

Right, this green-robed youth was none other than Ling Wu in disguise.

Walking as a man would better hide his true identity.

"Alright!"

Ling Wu responded.

His voice was deep and magnetic.

Since it was a disguise, naturally, every action and behavior had to seem genuine.

Then, the two of them set off toward the Desolate Land following the route marked on the map.

Other people either went alone or grouped in twos or threes.

This teleportation point was located in a mountain forest.

As soon as they left the mountain forest, Ling Chen and his companion saw an endless desert.

"Is this the Desolate Land?"

Before their eyes was a stretch of withered yellow, void of any sign of life.

Even the nature’s spiritual energy was frighteningly scarce.

A stark contrast to other places, like two different worlds.

"Whoosh!"

A tornado blew by in the distance, lifting countless grains of sand.

"Let’s go!"

Ling Chen said.

No wonder this place was known as the Desolate Land.

With such sparse Spiritual Energy, how could it attract Cultivators to reside here?

Not to mention that this was a desert, probably lacking even water sources.

The two soared into the sky, flying towards the center of the Desolate Land.

Though the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was thin, Ling Chen and his companion were well prepared, bringing plenty of Elixirs to restore their Spiritual Power.

However, they had not flown far when they saw streaks of light crossing the sky.

Clearly, these Cultivators were also here seeking the King’s opportunity.

Nighttime teleportation points were undoubtedly set up in sparsely populated areas.

In fact, most Cultivators entered the Desolate Land directly through either Taiyi Prefecture or Taiwu Prefecture.

As they drew closer to the central region of the Desolate Land, more and more Cultivators appeared in the sky.

Some even slowed down their pace.

Most had received news only that the King’s Relic was in the central region of the Desolate Land.

But the exact location remained unknown.

Therefore, they needed to search around for traces of the King’s Relic.

In the end, however, everyone returned empty-handed.

After all, the entire Desolate Land was almost identical everywhere; there was no sign of anything unusual, let alone any King’s Relic.

Of course, Ling Chen and his companion knew the location of the King’s Relic.

In fact, it wasn’t at the very center of the Desolate Land.

But slightly to the north.

The two, like many other Cultivators, flew around the central region and indeed passed the King’s Relic location, which looked no different from other areas.

At that time, there weren’t many people there.

Most were gathered at the very core of the Desolate Land.

Naturally, Ling Chen and his companion also arrived at the place where the Cultivators were most dense.

Here, it was easiest to stay concealed.

Soon, Ling Chen noticed Liu Qingcang, An Xiuluo, and others.

However, he did not approach to greet them.

Most of the Cultivators in the area where Ling Chen and his companion were, were at the sixth or seventh stage of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Cultivators with higher cultivation were closer to the center of the Desolate Land.

Just as Ling Chen and his companion found a place to sit down, a thirty-something young man walked over and said to them with a slight bow and a smile, "Gentlemen, are you interested in forming a team to explore the King’s Relic together?"

Looking at the enthusiastic man, Ling Chen nodded slightly as a sign, meanwhile sensing the man’s cultivation level, around the middle stage of the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

"Sure!"

Ling Chen smiled faintly.

Quite simply, while the seventh level belonged to the higher ranks of the Primordial Pill Realm,

in this place where nearly all the Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators gathered, that level of cultivation was really not significant.

If they didn’t band together, they might not even get the chance to enter the King’s Relic.

"Master, come over here for a detailed discussion!"

The man spoke and led Ling Chen towards a distant area.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Ao, from the Great Qin Dynasty. May I know how to address the two young masters?"

The man introduced himself.

"My name is Chen Ling, and he is Chen Wu. We come from the Great Xia Dynasty."

Ling Chen said.

In a short while, they arrived at a campsite.

Indeed, a campsite.

There were even tents set up here.

"Master Chen, our group has already gathered eighteen Cultivators above the sixth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm. With the two of you, we have exactly twenty people. These are the Cultivators who have agreed to join."

Zhang Ao looked towards the Cultivators gathered together and said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Ling Chen nodded slightly towards the crowd and then turned to Zhang Ao. "Brother Zhang, we can join. However, since we are forming a team, we would like to inquire about the distribution of treasures after entering the King’s Relic. Especially those rare treasures, or even unique ones?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ao immediately responded, "Our team is currently recruiting twenty people. For now, we have tentatively decided on a treasure distribution scheme. Everyone will work together to seize the treasure first. Afterwards, we will distribute it evenly based on need. If the quantity is insufficient, then it will go to whoever finds and grabs it first. Furthermore, since we are cooperating, if any member of our team obtains a treasure, no one else can act against them. Otherwise, all the other members will join forces to execute the offender!"

Naturally, they had early plans for such a team formation.

"Alright, that works for me."

Ling Chen nodded his head.

In fact, it still depended on luck and strength.

With his strength, he did not fear anyone entering the King’s Relic.

Additionally, for any treasures he might encounter, he did not need the help of others; he could deal with them all on his own.

Moreover, once inside, he planned to separate from the group.

His focus would be on finding the Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Dew.

That was his true objective.

Plainly speaking, joining this team was just a way to make use of these people to conceal his identity.

Furthermore, most of the Cultivators in this team were from other Dynasties.

It was perfect for helping him hide his identity.

"Good, we welcome the two young masters to join!"

Zhang Ao said with a smile.

The others also nodded and smiled towards Ling Chen.

Afterwards, Ling Chen and the others integrated into this team.

Everyone enjoyed fine cuisine and wine together, quite at ease.

Night fell.

Bundles of campfires rose.

Dissipating the darkness of the Desolate Land.

As numerous Cultivators from the Primordial Pill Realm poured in, the supposedly uninhabited Desolate Land became extremely lively.

To gain early access to the King’s Relic, Zhang Ao took turns sending out two Cultivators to fly around the area for surveillance.

Ling Chen and Ling Wu naturally patrolled together.

The night passed.

The King’s Relic did not appear.

The following day at noon.

A Flying Divine Ship shot towards them from the southeast and then stopped above the crowd.

"Is this from the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Many gazed at the Divine Ship.

The Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Chu Dynasties neighbored each other.

And the Desolate Land was where the three Dynasties bordered.

According to the position, the southeast was indeed the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The southwest was the Great Qin Dynasty, and the northeast was the Great Chu Dynasty.

At this moment, the Divine Ship was retracted.

Six figures appeared in the sky.

"It’s King You!"

Many Cultivators from the Great Xia excitedly exclaimed.

Ling Chen also looked towards the six people.

He recognized three of them.

Aside from Xia Jiu You, there were also Xia Biluo and two Divine Guards. As for the remaining three, he did not know them.

They must all be the trusted confidants cultivated by Xia Jiu You.
