Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: The First Demon [Fifth Update]

Treasure?

Qin Jun, sitting at the head seat, narrowed his eyes. Royal Lord Dong wasn’t one to be fully loyal; personal motives undoubtedly existed.

How could he not keep a treasure for himself upon finding one?

Could it be that he was unable to obtain it?

Even when Manifesting Saint couldn’t obtain it?

In an instant, Qin Jun thought of many possibilities. On the surface, he calmly asked, "Is there a creature guarding it?"

From below, Huo Qubing looked at Royal Lord Dong with curiosity. Possessing memories of his past life, he was aware of Royal Lord Dong’s identity; could it be a namesake?

"There is not, but there are formidable innate prohibitions."

Royal Lord Dong said awkwardly, somehow feeling transparent under Qin Jun’s scrutiny.

Qin Jun nodded and said, "Later, I will accompany you there. Where is She-Bishi?"

Since going out to cultivate, She-Bishi had not returned. If it were not for his unchanged loyalty level, Qin Jun would have thought She-Bishi had betrayed him.

"I’m not sure, I heard he went to the other side of the great land," Royal Lord Dong replied hesitantly, stunned for a moment.

He cultivated the law; She-Bishi cultivated the body; it was natural for their paths not to converge.

"Oh? You heard? Could it be that there are already many intelligent creatures born upon the great land?" Qin Jun seized upon the critical words and pressed for more information.

He wasn’t clear on how vast the land truly was, but it certainly was larger than any continent he had visited in his former life.

"Indeed, there are many, but most have low intelligence. Almost all creatures with complete intelligence have listened to Your Majesty’s teachings. However, asking She-Bishi might yield some answers," Royal Lord Dong explained, shaking his head. He understood what it meant to Manifest Saint during this era.

In pursuit of greater strength, he was earnestly searching for opportunities.

Finally finding a strange location with a treasure but unable to break the prohibition frustrated him.

Qin Jun nodded, inwardly relieved.

If a civilization had already been built outside, what would be the point?

He then stood up and said, "I will go with you. Huo Qubing, you stay here to guard."

"Yes!"

Although curious, Huo Qubing did not disobey Qin Jun’s order.

"I want to go too."

Xiling suddenly appeared with a pitiable look on her face.

Qin Jun stroked her hair and said, "Let’s go!"

He couldn’t be bothered to comfort her. Having become a sage, he was confident in protecting her, and moreover, this was an opportunity for growth.

Royal Lord Dong stood up excitedly, leading Qin Jun and the other away and flying out of the stone hall.

...

On the endless Gobi, countless bones were strewn, and under the gloomy clouds, the scene was extraordinarily terrifying.

A vast canyon, a thousand zhang wide and unfathomably deep, split the Gobi in two as though cutting the earth itself.

"Ah... Ah..."

A black crow with a wingspan of a hundred zhang flew over the canyon, letting out an eerie and chilling cry, like some mix between a human and a ghost, setting one’s scalp tingling.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound rose from below, followed swiftly by a black tentacle shooting out at incredible speed, impaling the black crow. Blood splattered, and in the next second, the crow was torn into the dark abyss of the canyon, its fate unknown.

Rolling thunderclouds gathered, similar to the Thunder Tribulation that creatures like Yuanchu and Yanxuan faced during their transformations from Chaos.

A terrifying presence shook the surrounding Gobi continuously, like a sudden earthquake, causing many creatures to run out from the vast piles of bones.

"I am Devil..."

A voice, faintly audible, emanated from within the gorge, chilling to the core, as if it originated from the Netherworld.

Chaos first opened, and the first demon was born.

Countless thunderbolts fell from the heavens, these were mystical thunderbolts of the great dao, stronger than even celestial thunder, the entire Gobi terrain was bombarded into shattered undulation, and the steep cliffs on both sides of the gorge were blasted down, making the gorge ever larger.

Wisps of demonic energy spilled out from the depths of the gorge, like black fog, threatening to obscure the sky.

"I am named Mo Jingcang, I am named Mo Jingcang..."

The voice of the demon kept emanating, growing more powerful, as though it were shouting its existence at the heavens.

Far away, Qin Jun suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Mo Jingcang’s direction, muttering, "Is this demonic energy?"

Tsk tsk, looks like the Devil Clan is about to emerge.

He could feel the other’s aura, at the initial stage of Daluo Immortal Realm, not knowing whether it was born this powerful or just had a breakthrough.

If it’s the former, that would be incredible.

But Qin Jun didn’t care, because it wasn’t as strong as him.

Above the clouds, Royal Lord Dong was controlling the direction, while Qin Jun, Xiling, and Yuanchu were sitting cross-legged.

Initially, Qin Jun hadn’t planned on bringing Yuanchu, but then thought that as his prime disciple, he should be given priority in cultivation, so he brought him along.

The future Yuanchu Emperor, if he could live until the battle of the peerless, how strong would he be?

At the very least, stronger than the Qiuming Emperor and Xia Shenwu!

And his other two disciples were also future powerhouses.

"Your Majesty, the wondrous land lies just ahead."

Royal Lord Dong spoke, they had flown for five hours, at the speed of a Manifesting Saint, five hours would get them very far, an unknown distance from the stone palace of the Heavenly Emperor.

Qin Jun looked ahead and saw four majestic peaks at the end of the wasteland, standing in a circle, and in their midst, a radiance surged skyward, piercing the clouds.

"What kind of aura is this?" Yuanchu asked with curiosity, sensing an extremely surging aura ahead, which inexplicably quickened his heart.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It indeed is a wondrous land."

With such a rich scent of chaos, it definitely held a treasure, and if it were a Primordial treasure, that would be delightful.

Primordial treasures are almost all derivations of the Dao, containing infinite powers; his own Invincible Primordial Robe and Primordial Emperor Sword were Primordial treasures, and having tasted the benefits of such treasures, he couldn’t help but feel some anticipation.

Soon, they flew in front of the four great peaks, their gaze directed towards the radiance in the depths, where they could vaguely see many exceptionally bright orbs, like giant eggs.

Qin Jun stood up, took out his Primordial Emperor Sword, and his presence suddenly shifted, startling Yuanchu, Royal Lord Dong, and Xiling who were beside him.

As Divine Consciousness probed forward, he felt an invisible force repelling his Divine Consciousness, surprising him slightly.

This prohibition could resist the power of a Holy being; who could have forcibly broken through during the time when Chaos first opened?

The stronger the prohibition, the more incredible the treasure inside.

Qin Jun raised his sword, preparing to break the prohibition.

At that moment, an aura of entering the realm of the sage approached from the sky, causing him to turn his head.

Aside from him, Royal Lord Dong, She-Bishi, and Cundi, who else in the world was at the realm of entering the sage?

The approaching figure had already taken human form, tall and fierce, his body covered in mane, with the head of a lion, but two dragon horns, and a pair of dragon-wing-like appendages on his back flapping, stirring gusts of thunderous wind.

He held a bone spear, two zhang in length, and from afar, he noticed Qin Jun and his companions, opening his mouth to roar, "This place belongs to me now!"

On the barren land, with his Holy Realm being unruly and unbridled, he had already viewed himself as invincible; without a cultivation method, he naturally couldn’t develop Divine Consciousness and was unaware of the formidable presence of Qin Jun and Royal Lord Dong.

"Scram."

Royal Lord Dong barked irritably, immediately releasing his Manifesting Saint aura.

Roaming the earth for so many years, what irritated him the most was that there were always creatures looking for trouble; now the creatures were simple-minded, attacking anyone who appeared alone, it had become a norm for him, and he was too lazy to act.

Feeling his aura, the winged creature hesitated briefly but did not leave immediately.
